SL vs WI West Indies tour of Sri Lanka, 2nd Test Match Preview:
Sri Lanka and West Indies are set to lock horns in the second match of the two-game Test series from Monday, November 29 at the Galle International Stadium in Galle.
The Lankans, led by Dimuth Karunaratne, started the two-match Test series on a resounding note. The Islanders won the opening Test by 187 runs at the same venue.
The skipper set the tone for the game after he scored 147, laced with 15 fours, in the first innings. Roston Chase was the pick of the bowlers for the Caribbean team after he picked up a five-wicket haul.
West Indies batters flattered to deceive to some extent as they conceded a massive 156-run first innings lead to their opponent. Kyle Mayers top-scored for them.
In their second innings, the Lankans played attacking cricket and declared their innings at 191 for four. Karunaratne, yet again, stole the show as he racked up 83. Angelo Matthews also lent him the apt support.
The 348-run target turned out to be a far cry for the West Indies. Nkrumah Bonner and Joshua da Silva scored half-centuries, but their efforts went in vain.
Lasith Embuldeniya ran through the Caribbean batting in the second innings with a five-wicket haul. The visitors need to put forth their A-game to have any chance of making a comeback.
