SL 165 & 0/0 f/o vs AUS 654/6 d (Oshada Fernando 0(1) Dimuth Karunaratne 0(0)) | Sri Lanka vs Australia, 1st Test, Wed, Jan 29, Australia tour of Sri Lanka, 2025
10:31 Local Time, 05:01 GMT, 10:31 IST: Sri Lanka have been bundled out for just 165 and with the deficit being a mammoth 489 runs, Australia have decided to enforce the follow-on. Definitely the right call too, we’ve heard that there’s some rain expected later in the afternoon again so Australia will want all the time they can have to bowl Sri Lanka out a second time. Their bowlers should be relatively fresh too considering they bowled only 27 overs yesterday. In total, they bowled only 52.2 overs with Starc only bowling 8 so they should be raring to go once more. Sorry looking batting card for Sri Lanka. The openers went cheaply and there were a lot of soft-dismissals. Chandimal was the only standout with 72. Lot of batters got starts but went on to throw it away. The surface is offering plenty to the spinners when they put it in the right areas. With some discipline and patience, Australia should bundle Sri Lanka out easily once again. The weather is their only foe.
The first Test match between Sri Lanka and Australia in the Australia tour of Sri Lanka, 2025 ended in a draw with Sri Lanka scoring 165 & 0/0 in their first innings and Australia declaring at 654/6 in their first innings.
