The Sri Lankan team played a significant role in the Test match as they scored 602 runs for the loss of just five wickets, but the New Zealand team lost two wickets as soon as they started batting. The loss of two wickets by the New Zealand team is very unfortunate as the batsmen are getting out and the next batsmen are under a lot of pressure. The two opening batsmen, Latham and Conway, got out with only a handful of runs. But so far the batsmen have not been able to play any role in this match in terms of runs but have put the next batsmen under a lot of pressure. The New Zealand team has lost 2 wickets in 14 overs for just 22 runs, thus if the wickets are lost then the New Zealand team will lose this first innings by a wide margin.

Sri Lanka played very well in the Test match scoring 602 runs with 5 wickets loss. But New Zealand struggled losing two important players early means at 22 runs. This puts a lot of pressure on New Zealand remaining batsmen. Or it is a big pressure of big score.
Unless New Zealand other batsmen do something amazing Sri Lanka will likely win first round. And still I am looking that Srilanka has have this match in hand and they can win easily.

To be honest I wonder about the performance of New Zealand squad in Test competition, their squad displayed worst performance in first match and now in second match against Sri Lanka squad. Second test match if still ongoing among Sri Lanka squad against new Zealand squad and Sri lanka squad has managed 602 scores in their first inning and these three batters Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal full supported their squad for managing such strong scores in first inning and gave full burden to batter of New Zealand squad. We see very weak performance from New Zealand squad side in bowling inning first and now their second batting Inning is ongoing and Sir Lanka squad lead this match with 315 scores and they also lost their 5 batter wickets. I don't believe that New Zealand squad will emerge victory in second match already they lost many significant wickets and their performance also not going amazing.

New Zealand is still trailing by 315 runs. Remember that they don't need 315 runs to win this match. They need 315 runs just to avoid the follow on, as Sri Lanka has one more innings remaining. This has to be the most disastrous performance in test match from the Kiwis during the last 4-5 years. I can understand that they are playing under hostile conditions, and some of the main players are not available. But it is not the excuse you would give, when you get bowled out for just 88 runs, chasing a massive total of 602/5 set by Sri Lanka.

Being bowled out for 88 runs, New Zealand could not avoid the follow-on, batting in the second innings for the second time, given the conditions of the match so far, New Zealand will be bowled out in the first session on the fourth day. We can't imagine that a team like New Zealand would be miserably all out against Sri Lanka. Prabath Jayasuriya single-handedly upset New Zealand in the first innings and was enough for 88 all out. But it is a 100% guarantee that New Zealand will lose this Test too and the series will be whitewashed by 2-0.

I was very surprised by New Zealand's performance. I never expected to see such a bad performance from this team. The New Zealand team was relatively stronger than Sri Lanka. Kitnu then they are doing terrible performance in this series.

This is Sri Lanka's home series. We know that Sri Lanka will fully take the home advantage. New Zealand management should have formed their squad considering the pitch condition. But the New Zealand management probably didn't do that. So we saw a very poor performance from New Zealand in both the matches.

New Zealand's bowlers can't do well. As a result, Sri Lanka scored a mountain of runs. Sri Lanka team collected 602 runs losing only 5 wickets. On the other hand New Zealand collected only 88 runs. It is a shame for a team like New Zealand.

The Sri Lankan team continues to play so well that teams like New Zealand are getting badly all out with them. We have seen New Zealand batting for 88 runs against Sri Lanka in the first innings which was really a disappointing batting performance by them. I think New Zealand team might lose badly in this test match and also they will not be able to cope with Sri Lanka team Sri Lanka team has improved a lot. In the second innings New Zealand team collected 199 runs losing 5 wickets and to reach the target of Sri Lanka team collected in the first innings New Zealand still need to collect 315 runs, I think New Zealand will be all out before collecting these runs.

The New Zealand team has been performing badly this season as they lost all wickets for just 88 runs in the first innings. But in comparison the Sri Lankan team is performing very well, so far in the second innings they have collected 199 runs for five wickets in 41 overs.
Losing five wickets on the first day of the second innings is the biggest weakness for the New Zealand team as they fail to play patiently while protecting their wickets. Now all the batting is not experienced in terms of batting, the aggressive batsmen are out so the New Zealand team will fail to fulfill the lead run given by Sri Lanka in the third innings. Still, New Zealand's score of 315 will tie the match, and there is a high chance of losing all out before the 315-run target is met.

Zakir didn't score any runs but he got off to a good start. He tried to play very carefully. But due to lack of experience, he could not survive at the crease. He was very patient. I hope if Zakir is diligent then he will become one of the most important players in Bangladesh team. We will see better performance from Zakir in future.

I don't understand how Zakir Hasan performed well in this match, that's why I couldn't agree with you. Played 24 balls but couldn't get a run how patiently it performed, but you notice the 3 runs in the first innings of the first match, and the 33 runs in the second innings. And if he collects 0 runs in the first innings in the second match, if he does not perform well in this difficult situation of Bangladesh, then how will he perform well later?

Many other batsmen including Zakir Hasan have performed poorly, Bangladesh team has the most batting weakness in the squad. Shakib Al Hasan he has been performing in the game of cricket for a long time and he has not performed well, Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das each have such a bad record. So if they can perform well in this match then there will definitely be a possibility to draw the test match. Because as this second match is taking place only rain is being fought, rain has become the biggest obstacle of Bangladesh team till now Tiger batsmen of Bangladesh team could not enter the field. However, we expect a good run rate for Bangladesh team from the batsmen Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim who are currently at the crease as they are very experienced among the batsmen.

Not only Zakir Hasan but Bangladesh's squad is not fit to play Tests but they are fine till ODIs and T20s. Maybe Zakir Hasan played a little bit well in Bangladesh's test cricket in the beginning but in recent times his performance is not good but he is seen to perform poorly in most of the matches. Mominul Haque performed well in Tests in the beginning but now Mominul Haque is performing very poorly. Bangladesh are not really in Test mode, but when they start playing Tests, the nerves are on edge and if there is a batting disaster, wickets fall in quick succession, which has become a regular pattern for Bangladesh.

According to cricinfo, in the first day of the test match between Bangladesh and India we found a story here. A Bangladeshi fan whose name is Robi. He was not feeling good due to his heart condition. The security took him through the hospital and he said, Indian fans hurt him but later he changed his words and said he is sick dehydrated.

Many people in the ground said he argued with the Indian fans and they pushed him and also took his flag meanwhile they does not allow Bangladesh fans to support his country. But the police were saying there was no fight. I don’t know why Robi changed his statement, but I think he changed this due to pressure on him. By the way, some people on the ground don’t want to see Bangladesh people there and hurt them because as they know there are many problems faced by Bangladesh in politics.

Sri lanak All out New Zealand in just 88 runs. I think its a huge lead 513 runs in 1st inning. Very bad performance by New Zealand batters only Mitchell Santner scored highest individual runs of 29 runs in first inning. Sri Lanka bowling performance is significant especially Prabath Jayasuriya picked 6 important wickets and Nishan Peiris also bowl well pick up three wickets. Both bowlers single handedly destroyed New Zealand batting Line by picking 9 wickets and Helped Sri lanka to All out New Zealand under 90 runs. New Zealand follow on and disappointing start of second inning loss first wickets in 1st over of second inning of test match. I think Sri Lanka will easy won the second test match with huge margin and whitewashed New Zealand team by 2-0.

The match was delayed due to rain on the first day. Bangladesh lost 3 wickets and collected 107 runs. I would say rain is a blessing for Bangladesh. If the match is delayed by one more day due to rain then the match is likely to be a draw.

As the Bangladesh team lost three crucial wickets, Zakir Hasan and Sadman Islam and Nazmul Hasan Shanto played a key role in the first attacking batting. But coming into this match they were out early, with the loss of three wickets, the next batsmen of the Bangladesh team are facing a lot of pressure. Because the loss of wickets in test matches is a very sad sign, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque are currently at the crease.
In such a situation, it is not possible to get good from the players of Bangladesh team, because the batsmen of Bangladesh team are now facing a lot of pressure as they have already lost the first test match by a huge margin. So they will try hard to equalize in this match, so we have to wait for how the batsmen of Bangladesh team perform in this pressure filled moment.

I was disappointed to see the performance of the New Zealand batsmen. So far New Zealand has collected 68 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. New Zealand team is stronger than Sri Lanka in test format but New Zealand could not perform well in this test series. Sri Lanka batted first and declared the innings by scoring 602 runs. Sri Lanka scored big which put New Zealand under pressure from the start. But the New Zealand batsmen should have batted patiently. New Zealand will be all out soon with the way they are batting. New Zealand are still trailing by 534 runs. The Sri Lankan bowlers bowled brilliantly, Prabath Jayasuriya bowled brilliantly and took 6 wickets alone. New Zealand will be defeated in this test.

Yeah, Mohammad Zakir Hassan as 26 years old wicket keeper batsman is only player for Bangladesh who score century on his debut, and he breaks 56 years old record for having duck after playing 24 balls it is a record against India for any opening batsman as first this was held by Ian Chappell who bowled out after 22 balls duck against India.

Things happen in cricket. Even Batter like Sachin got out for a golden duck multiple times in his test cricket career. I did not want to blame Zakir because he was patient while handling Bumrah and Siraj. He did not try to play unnecessary shots even when he couldn't take a single. I don't think any pressure was building because it's test cricket, and you can play unlimited balls if you want to get set.

Quote

If we have not rained interruption then most chances we will have another huge defeat for the Bangladesh in this second test match which will bring them back on earth after having success against Pakistan in Pakistan.

So, you are saying they are not on the earth? How did you know that? Have you heard any excessive statements from any player in the Bangladesh team? I don't think they said anything like they will win the match or destroy India. It is the people like you and me who are making these stories.

Zakir Hasan, the golden duck boy of Bangladesh, played 24 balls and got out without any runs. They actually have no mentality to play Test cricket.

I won't blame Zakir Hasan alone. He showed enough patience to be honest. Even though he is not made for Test cricket, he played 24 balls without scoring a single run. That is how you should defend balls in test cricket. I would say he was patient with the shot selection. But you know, a good ball can change everything. Usually, he plays aggressive cricket. Surprisingly, he played 24 balls without scoring any runs.

I was talking in general. I wouldn't say I liked how Shanto came up and started to play shots. It's like he is playing ODI cricket. You should know that you are facing a world-class bowler here. The batters should be more patient when they play test cricket. BTW, I see when you want to criticize a team, you write gibberish. Your criticism should be constructive and have some points.

Zakir didn't score any runs but he got off to a good start. He tried to play very carefully. But due to lack of experience, he could not survive at the crease. He was very patient. I hope if Zakir is diligent then he will become one of the most important players in Bangladesh team. We will see better performance from Zakir in future.

The match was delayed due to rain on the first day. Bangladesh lost 3 wickets and collected 107 runs. I would say rain is a blessing for Bangladesh. If the match is delayed by one more day due to rain then the match is likely to be a draw.

In the first innings of the second Test match between Bangladesh vs India, we saw only 35 overs on the field due to rain. At the end of the first day's play, Bangladesh managed to accumulate 157 runs for three wickets on the scoreboard. The second day's play was already scheduled to begin, but the start of the match was again delayed due to rain.

Since Bangladesh could not score many runs and they lost three wickets in that, when the game starts on the second day after the rain, if the Indian bowlers can lose more wickets, Bangladesh will be under a lot of pressure in the first innings. And if two important wickets are taken, Bangladesh will not be able to score 250 plus runs in the first innings. Maybe India is planning to get Bangladesh out before scoring 250 runs.

I thought Sri Lanka would declare around 500 at the end of 2nd day but they made an impressive 600 and were able to take two wickets on New Zealand that too in the second day. Now they'd work to take the remaining wickets of New Zealand as soon as possible. If New Zealand lost all of it in a low score, they'll be forced to bat again which would insure an easy win for Sri Lanka.

On the second test of Bangladesh vs India, Bangladesh had started well, But the rain might make the game shorter taking it to a draw. The weather is not going to improve tomorrow either.

Sri Lanka declared an innings of 602 runs and the score was so high that New Zealand might be all out soon under the pressure of the score. They have already lost two wickets which will put a lot of pressure on the New Zealand batting line and there will be no way to draw this match. If the follow-on is not avoided or even avoided, the 2 innings total may not be equal to Sri Lanka's first innings run score. We have made an advance assumption that New Zealand will lose this match and the series will be a whitewash.

Due to lack of light, the game was completely stopped for the day and only 35 overs were played where Bangladesh fell by three wickets for 107 runs. If the whole game had been played, Bangladesh would have been all out on the first day. However, thanks to the rain, the entire day's play was forced off.

As Sri Lanka will perform well at their own venue it is only natural that the spinners in particular bowl well at this venue as always. New Zealand's bowlers have failed miserably except for one run out and the remaining two wickets have fallen, so it can be said that New Zealand has completely failed in bowling action. If New Zealand wants to draw the match, then like Sri Lanka, they must have a good batting performance or else they will be defeated, it can be said for sure.

Just like I predict about SiriLankan they done exactly same like goes above 500 and that's really good point for them because it will make them more stronger and will have dominant against thier opponent, to be honest I was considering new Zealand a strong team in test format but they way they are leaking huge runs without any opponent player departure is really disappointing and it will hurt them again, some how in shape of another defeat as now it's look like impossible for them to chased the 600+ and then took a lead as already SiriLankan spinner are are charm and definitely will give tough time to them. So the things is they has only one option to stay on pitch as long as possible as just rotate strike so that can possibly drawn the results for them instead of 2-0 lead

You are right that New Zealand always faces difficult conditions in sub-continental conditions. Even against Bangladesh we have seen in the past that New Zealand players are not able to perform well. In the first match against Sri Lanka, the players of New Zealand were able to perform a little better. But the New Zealand team lost the match due to not being able to bat well in the second innings.

It was unimaginable that the New Zealand bowlers would perform so poorly in the second match. New Zealand's bowlers have performed very badly. I would say New Zealand's team selection was not right. No New Zealand bowler can do well on this pitch. As a result, Sri Lanka scored a huge total of 602 for the loss of just 5 wickets.

It is very sad to see such a poor performance from a team as renown as New Zealand. However, the New Zealand team has not been in good form for a long time. In the last T20 World Cup we don't see good performance from New Zealand players. In addition to the T20 format, we can now see this team's poor performance in the Test format as well.

I agree with you that the team selection was wrong on the part of New Zealand's team management. That's why we haven't seen any New Zealand bowler do well on this pitch. New Zealand needed to form the squad considering the pitch conditions. Then the match would have been more competitive.

Since the New Zealand team has already lost two wickets, I don't think New Zealand will do well in the early days. It is difficult for New Zealand to collect up to 200 runs in the first innings. I think New Zealand will lose the match by an innings.

New Zealand always struggle in sub-continental conditions. So it was not a surprise that they are getting hammered by Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium. Looks like the Kiwis will suffer an innings defeat in this match. Two of their top order batsmen are back in pavilion (Tom Latham and Devon Conway), and they still need another 380 runs just to avoid the follow on. Three days of play remains and not even rain can save the Kiwis from this disaster. BTW, why Ajaz Patel is still in the team? I really can't understand their logic behind selection.

You are right that New Zealand always faces difficult conditions in sub-continental conditions. Even against Bangladesh we have seen in the past that New Zealand players are not able to perform well. In the first match against Sri Lanka, the players of New Zealand were able to perform a little better. But the New Zealand team lost the match due to not being able to bat well in the second innings.

It was unimaginable that the New Zealand bowlers would perform so poorly in the second match. New Zealand's bowlers have performed very badly. I would say New Zealand's team selection was not right. No New Zealand bowler can do well on this pitch. As a result, Sri Lanka scored a huge total of 602 for the loss of just 5 wickets.
