Sri Lanka had a chance to reach the final of the ICC Test Championship. In that case, they had to win the Test series against New Zealand. To that end, the first two days of the first Test against the hosts were quite ahead. But they lost dramatically on the last day. Chasing the 285 they had set up, the QUs were hit by rain on the final day. The first session was not played due to rain. The start of the game was delayed even after the midday break as the pitch was wet. In the end, the game settled down and New Zealand took a dramatic win by 1 run off the last ball of the innings. Kane Williamson’s unbeaten innings of 285 for 8 in 70 overs secured victory. Sri Lanka’s dream has been dashed by dramatically losing the last ball in the Test.

They missed the opportunity to play in the final. Now India will play the final against Australia instead of Sri Lanka. Even if Sri Lanka wins their next Test, their total points will be 52.78. On the other hand, India’s current point is 56.94. A draw against Australia in Ahmedabad today will take their total points to 64.91. Australia has lost only 3 in the Test Championship. Won 11.
