Gaul: An exciting match was seen in the first test cricket match being played here between Sri Lanka and New Zealand in which the host team was two wickets away from victory after the fourth day’s play ended here on Sunday. Chasing the target of 275 runs, New Zealand scored 207 runs for the loss of eight wickets at the end of the day’s play and thus it will have to score 68 runs to win on the fifth and final day. The pitch is helping the spinners and in such a situation it will not be easy for the Kiwi team to reach the target. From New Zealand, only left-handed batsman Rachin Ravindra was able to face the bowlers firmly. He is currently playing after scoring 91 runs and if he completes his century on Monday, he will become the first Kiwi batsman to score a century on this ground.
