South Africa started out really well thanks to Rickleton and Bavuma playing well. I never really like Bavuma if I am being honest, but he has been in prime form recently in the test format scoring consistently well.

If they end up scoring 350+ runs, the Lankans will be at a psychological disadvantage. Both teams are fighting hard for one of the WTC final spots.

A score of 350 might be tough for South Africa as Rockelton (101) then Marco Jansen did not last long at the wicket. Got out just before the end of the first day's play. But till now a reliable batsman and wicket keeper verreynne is unbeaten on 48 runs so if any of the next batsmen can give him good support then the score of 350 runs can definitely be made. However, the nervousness of Sri Lanka in the first test match made Sri Lanka a difficult target by scoring 269 runs.

Yes, the first innings batting performance of the Bangladesh cricket team in this second Test match is quite clear that the West Indies team will win this international Test series unilaterally. Although I have selected the Bangladesh cricket team as the favorite team for betting in this second Test match and have placed a bet. Still, it must be admitted that none of the Bangladesh team's batsmen have been able to score a match-winning score so far. Bangladesh team batsmen Shadman Islam and Shahadat Hossain Dipu could pass a somewhat long innings but could not benefit in terms of score. The batsmen Taijul Islam and Mehedi Hasan Miraj who are now at the crease are also in the same situation. Mehedi Hasan Miraj has collected 25 off 51 balls and Taijul Islam is unbeaten by collecting 11 off 58 balls. I am really disappointed with such a poor performance of the Bangladesh team's batsmen.

As everyone was expecting from the team of Bangladesh, they exactly did it. All out on the low score of 164, by the way it is still good otherwise I was looking for less than even 130 runs but they have made it up still it does not change the game they should play good and also in the bowling side there is nothing going good for them as they have picked just one wicket of West Indies while the West Indies team is on the 70 runs already, West Indies have already chased half of the target so you can well imagine how big lead they will get in this first innings.

How is it possible, West Indies has even lost the game. Did you remember in the first day when Bangladesh were doing batting, they have lost thier first 2 wickets at the less score at only 10 and every one was shouting Bnagladesh has finsihed but nothing, they were just lost played wrong single time and then then they have dominated to the West Indies team, what an outstanding performance by their bowling. In the second innings, I noticed many of the improvements and changes in their batting style. Finally that was another win for Bangladesh.

I don't remember the last time I saw a good performance from Bangladesh's opening pair. Usually we don't see good performance from Bangladesh's opening pair. Bangladesh's opener JOy's performance was also bad in the second match against West Indies. JOy's collection was 3 runs in two innings.

Anyway, it was unimaginable that Bangladesh would win against West Indies. Bangladesh lost by a big margin in the first match. But Bangladesh showed a surprise in the second match. Bangladesh was able to take a lead of 18 runs in the first innings and gave a target of 287 runs. Bangladesh won by a big margin of 101 runs. Bangladesh won due to the controlled bowling of Nahid Rana and Taijul.

South Africa lost wickets quickly at the beginning of the innings. I thought that South Africa would probably face another batting disaster like in the first match. Maybe they will lose all their wickets before scoring 200 runs. But due to the innings of Bavuma and Ryan Rickelton, South Africa is moving towards a big total. Ryan Rickelton scored a century and Bavuma scored 78 runs. I would say that South Africa will be able to take a decent lead only if they can score 300+ on this pitch. The performance of Sri Lankan batsmen in away matches is a bit weak.

South Africa has lost wickets in the match, but they scored bad runs in the beginning, due to which South Africa have scored very few runs so far. The South African batsmen have scored 269 runs in 87 overs and have lost 7 wickets so far. The way they have played, it is an easy win for Sri Lanka if their batsmen play well too. If the South African batsmen score more runs in the same match, they can give a good and tough target of 350 but it will not be that big because the Sri Lankan bowlers also have to play hard and stop the runs due to which South Africa Will not be able to make so many runs. Now the match has been stumped due to which the innings has been stopped due to which no further match has been played.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test match South Africa batsman Tony de Zorzi could not bat well at the beginning. Tony de Zorzi got out on the first ball which weakened them a lot although if the opening batsmen survive the team has a courage and collects a good score. However since South Africa team lost an important wicket at the beginning so their current pair will have to play well at the moment. We have seen that South Africa team won the first Test match brilliantly so in the second match they will definitely try to play great to win. But if Sri Lanka team is going to equal the series result then they will have to bat and bowl well and if they can do well then they can equalize the series. If Sri Lanka team performs like in the first match then they will definitely not be able to compete with South Africa so Sri Lanka team's performance will have to improve even more.

Today is the start of the 2nd test match between Sri Lanka and South Africa. In the last match, very bad game by the Sri Lanka team but this time too I am not seeing any type of improvement in their play. Sri Lankan bowlers got some initial wickets but later they seemed helpless.

However, in what way South Africa are playing, they are going to win this match, that's it. 180 runs in the first 54 overs is no joke, especially in the test matches, it is a very good game. The start was not good by the openers of the South African team Aiden Markram and Tony de Zorzi
were not played long innings but Ryan Rickelton seems to bat well and he may well make his century today.

In the last Test match, Sri Lanka's poor performance in the first innings forced them to lose the match. In the 2nd innings, they also failed to get the expected score. That's why they lost the match. But I think they will definitely come back from the mistakes they made. They did well in the last few ODI and T20 series but their batting has changed a bit in the Test match against South Africa. South Africa is already hoping to score a big in the 2nd Test match. The team has scored 269 runs for 7 wickets. Kyle Verreynne has taken the responsibility of a set batsman on the field. If the other batsmen can play with him tomorrow, the target can be even bigger. If Sri Lanka does not change from that position, then they will lose this match too.

Yes I remember the match in which Sri Lanka had a very poor performance in which the first innings was 42 runs and the second was about 287. But the Sri Lankan bowlers are doing very well in this match. But it is difficult to say victory in this match because the real victory is in the hands of their batsmen, if they play well, it can be difficult for South Africa in the second innings after scoring good runs in the first innings. In this match, Sri Lankan batsmen will win because of their speed and scoring a lot of runs, otherwise if they play slowly, they will not be able to win in the second innings and they will lose the second match as well. They should win this match and have a chance to win the series in the next match which will be a great achievement for them.

Ryan Rickelton and Bavuma were able to build a big partnership of 133 runs. And this partnership was very important. After losing Bavuma's wicket, South Africa also lost Bedingham's wicket quickly. However, Ryan Rickelton and Kyle Verreynne were able to build a partnership of 77 runs. Although Kyle Verreynne returned to the dressing room after collecting 101 runs, Kyle Verreynne is unbeaten on 48 runs. If South Africa can start well in the coming days, then it will not be difficult for South Africa to collect up to 350. However, Kyle Verreynne will definitely have to play well. If Kyle Verreynne does not play a big innings, there is a possibility of losing all the wickets of South Africa before 300.

South Africa's overall batting was decent at the end of the first day. South Africa managed to score 269 runs for the loss of 7 wickets at the end of the day. Rickelton scored 101 runs and Temba Bavuma returned to the dressing room with 78 runs. And Verreynne scored 48 runs and is still at the crease. Verreynne batted very carefully. Verreynne was able to score 48 runs from 84 balls.

Sri Lankan bowlers are trying hard to do well. The pitch was not batting friendly. So I would say Sri Lankan bowlers had a chance to do better. I hope Sri Lankan bowlers can do well in the beginning of the next day. However, if South Africa does not lose wickets in the first 10 overs, then South Africa has the possibility of scoring 350+. However, apart from Verreynne, there is no other experienced batsman at the crease. So Verreynne will have to bat very carefully at the beginning of the next day and try to play a big innings.

They were 44/3, and then Temba Bavuma and Ryan Rickelton got them to 177/3. But once Bavuma got out, their batting collapsed once more. David Bedingham is not in good form recently, and this time also he got out for a single digit score. Kyle Verreynne is at the crease right now, and he will be joined by Keshav Maharaj when the play resumes tomorrow. If South Africa can get to 320-330, it will give them a strong psychological advantage against Sri Lanka.

Everyone was talking about the bad start by Sri Lanka and even the commenters, everyone was saying bad for Sri Lanka but then they have come back so should not underestimate the Sri Lanka team because they also could do something great. However, so far the match is in the balance.

What comeback? South Africa look like they will give a target close to 300 runs which is a big target especially considering the form that some of their bowlers like Jansen are in these days. Rickleton and Bavuma took the game away from them.

Am not expecting any heroics from the Lankan batsmen. If the Proteas win this one and the series, they will get one step closer to the WTC final.

At the end of the day, Sri Lanka managed to get 7 wickets and therefore i think they are back in the game. It was the partnership between Ryan Rickelton and Temba Bavuma due to which we thought that South Africa may make a big score, but after Temba Bavuma lost the wicket at 177, then South Africa again started to lose wickets and at the end of the day they had lost 7 wickets. I don't know if they can even make 300 score as tomorrow morning the ball will be swinging more.

South Africa lost 2 wickets in the beginning of today's match, Markram and Tony de Zorzi entered the field as opening batsmen, they did not perform well today. And two batsmen got out and put the South African team and the next batsman under pressure.
Now the South African team will definitely have the most confidence in the next batsman to score runs, and let's see if the experienced batsmen of the South African team can withstand the pressure of the Sri Lankan bowlers in the end. I definitely hope for a competitive game in the first innings of the second match.

Definitely south African team will have upper hand on thier opponent because they already have huge confidence due to previous victory by huge margin also they have home ground advantage too so there will be not any trouble for them to tackle. Now in thier first inning before innings stump they already scored 250+ which loss of their seven wickets still thier set player are on crease so they will make huge difference some where around 350 in thier first inning which I believe impossible for SiriLankan to match as we have seen thier previous match collapse too so things are looking blury for SiriLankan in right direction until any mericle happened and some of thier top player build huge partnership then may be they will have some chances.

Ryan Rickelton and Temba Bavuma made runs, but no one else shined in South African batting lineup. Sri Lankans are performing exceptionally well in recent times with the ball, and this time it was Lahiru Kumara and Asitha Fernando who picked up the crucial wickets. Given the fact that South Africa had the home advantage, and also they are in decent form, Lankans can keep their head high for now. And at the time, this may dim South Africa's chances of qualifying to the final of the ICC World Test Championship.

We have well-balanced performance from both sides in this first day of the second test match as we have 269 for 7 with Ryan Rickelton hit maiden century in his 8th test match have good support from captain Bavuma and Kyle Verreynne as things were going there was good chance we will have 350+ runs but now with the fall of two late wickets its look like we will be having just 300 runs which could be also enough for them because we have Sri Lankan batting struggling here.

Pitch is looking good for batting if we have some good performance from Sri Lanka in batting then surely we will be having interesting end of this second test match while Sri Lanka can do some surprising as we have from Bangladesh in West Indies.

I will not say that South Africa batted badly on the first day. However, South Africa did not start the day well. South Africa lost three wickets for just 33 runs. Key players like De Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs batted very badly. Marakram also managed to add only 20 runs to the scoreboard. However, the first day was under control by South Africa due to the big innings of Rickelton and Bavuma. A total of 269 runs for the loss of 7 wickets on this pitch can be called a good total.

Rickelton scored 101 runs from 250 balls. And captain Temba Bavuma was able to play a decent innings of 78 runs. Bavuma has been in a good rhythm for a long time. We can see Bavuma playing well in almost every match. On the other hand, Sri Lankan bowler Lahiru Kumara took three wickets in 13 overs. I would say that overall South Africa did quite well. South Africa can probably collect around 320.

Looking at Rohit's form recently, I think this is wise from him, also very generous from captain!

Due to Sri Lanka poor perform they lost the first Test match by a huge margin. The second match of the same series is being played today in which South Africa decided to bat first. Sri Lanka must win this match because if they lose this match they will be out of the right to win the series. In this match, Sri Lanka can control South Africa and take an easy target. At the moment their bowling is going quite well in which they are bringing South Africa under control. The South African batsmen have played 27 overs so far in which they have also lost 3 wickets and scored only 82 runs. The game is currently paused as it is time to launch the match. After that the game will resume and South Africa will bat again in which they will try to score maximum runs but this time Sri Lanka should take more wickets and win this innings by weakening South Africa in the first innings. This will win them in the first innings and it will be easy for them in the second innings and they can win this match too.
