Tournament: Australia tour of Sri Lanka, 2022.
Date: July 08, 2022
Format: Test match
Venue: Galle International Stadium, Galle, Sri Lanka.
Time: 04:30
Sri Lanka is getting ready to host the Aussies in the second test match at the Galle International Stadium at Galle, Sri Lanka tomorrow. The Sri Lankan team lost the first test by a thumping margin of ten wickets. They had to endure a collapse in the second innings which saw them getting bundled out for 113 runs. To make the matters worse for the hosts, they will now be missing the services of Asitha Fernando, Jeffrey Vandersay, and Dhananjaya de Silva for this encounter. All these players tested positive for coronavirus after the first test. This is a major blow to the side as all of them are vital components of the Sri Lankan team combination. Sri Lanka will be led by Dimukh Karunaratne in this match. The Lankan captain has to perform better and take a lot of responsibility for avoiding a series loss in the test match.
During the last series for Sri Lanka, he scored a couple of huge fifties against Bangladesh. However, in the first game of the ongoing test series against Australia, he failed to cross 30 runs mark in either inning. Ramesh Mendis is a 27-year-old all-rounder for Sri Lanka. He was the pick of their bowling in the first game. He took four wickets in the match. Mendis arrived at the crease in the number 8 position and contributed a bit with 22 runs. However, it was the Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella who scored the highest number of runs for his team in the Sri Lankan first innings. The keeper-batsman batted at the number 7 slot. But he is likely to get promoted in the batting order because Dhananjaya de Silva will not be playing this test.
Dimuth Karunaratne, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Kamindu Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella, Ramesh Mendis, Maheesh Theekshana, Prabath Jayasuriya, Kasun Rajitha.
Australia on the other hand is the world's leading team in test matches. They dominated the first test in all the departments of the game with no real resistance from the Lankans. The spin trio played by Australia in the match with Travis Head, Mitchell Swepson, and Nathan Lyon managed to take 18 out of the 20 wickets that fell during the game. In the first innings for Australia, the inform opening batsman Usman Khawaja and the all-rounder Cameron Green scored the fifties. Usman Khawaja is an experienced campaigner for Australia. He continued his great form with the bat on this tour as well. During the first innings of the first test, he scored 71 runs. In the second innings, he remained unbeaten on naught. In the last five test matches he has played for Australia he has hit two hundred and three fifties. Cameron Green on the other hand is a younger all-rounder for Australia. The 23-year-old scored 77 runs in the Aussie first innings from just 109 balls in the first test. The all-rounder looks confident against spin bowling on the Galle wicket.
The rest of the Aussie batsmen struggled against some quality spin bowling on a helpful track in the first game. Nathan Lyon is an experienced bowler for Australia. The wily spinner is a key bowler in the Australian bowling attack. He was instrumental in the Sri Lankan fall in both innings of the first test match. He took 9 wickets in the game and will be keen to inflict some more pain on the Sri Lankan batsmen. Australia is likely to field another spinner in this game. He is Mitchell Swepson. The 28-year-old leggy took 5 wickets in the first test. However, he is a relative newcomer to the test match arena and has participated only in three matches thus far in the subcontinent conditions. He will be keen to make an impact on the match.
David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Michael Lyon, Mitchell Swepson.
The wicket on offer for the second test match is expected to assist the spinners. The conditions on offer at the Galle stadium are not likely to be conducive for batting.

Sri Lanka was successful in their last test series against Bangladesh winning it 1-0. But they received a jolt in the series opener with a humiliating 10-wicket defeat against Australia. Their batsmen and bowlers both will have to pick up their socks to deliver a better performance in this game. Australia on the other hand moved ahead after their series win against Pakistan in Pakistan. They did better with both bat and ball in the first test to dominate the match and register a resounding win. The Aussies will be looking to clinch the series right in this game to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. It is a do-or-die situation for the hosts though. We expect Australia to come out trumps in this game and take the series.
Steven Smith to emerge as the leading run-getter for the Aussies in the first innings.
3.75
Steven Smith is Australia's leading batsman in test matches and pretty much all formats of the game. You can bet on him coming good in this crucial test match.
The wicket on offer at Galle is again likely to assist the spinners. You can expect Ramesh Mendis to become the top wicket-taker for Lanka.
Lasith Embuldeniya to become the leading wicket-taker for Sri Lanka in their first innings in the field.
3.25
Again, the conditions on offer at the Galle venue will be in favor of spinners. They are going to get a lot of purchase from the pitch. So Embuldeniya can emerge as the leading wicket-taker in this encounter.
