Muttiah Muralitharan got 16 wickets there and I scored a double century. Aravinda de Silva scored 150 runs. The Oval is a place we can never forget. But the conditions where these players played were completely different.’ Credit for this victory goes to all the players: Sanath Jayasuriya Sanath Jayasuriya further said, ‘It was a very difficult situation because the grass was different and the weather was also in the host’s favour. The credit for this victory goes to all the players.

He said that the visiting team will have to reconsider their performance in case of defeat.

Test cricket is like arm wrestling – you can’t drop your concentration at any level – and I felt they were quite lethargic in the morning. They were not ready for the match to start.

T20 World Cup 2024: Before the match against South Africa, Aakash Chopra made a big statement about Sri Lanka’s bowling lineup
Sri Lanka and South Africa are in Group D of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 along with Bangladesh, Nepal and Netherlands. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) An important match is going to be played between Sri Lanka and South Africa today i.e. on June 3 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Both the teams would definitely like to win the upcoming match. Aakash Chopra has given his opinion regarding this match. According to former Indian player Aakash Chopra, Sri Lanka’s bowling attack is very good and South African batsmen may face a lot of trouble in this match. Let us tell you, Sri Lanka and South Africa are in Group D of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 along with Bangladesh, Nepal and Netherlands. All the teams in this group are very good and if anyone wants to make their place in the Super 8, then it is very important for them to win as many of their matches as possible. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘The Sri Lankan team is very good. Their bowling attack is tremendous. Mathisha Pathirana, Vanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana. After this, the team has Angelo Mathews who can bowl very well. Not only this, Sri Lanka also has Dilshan Madhushanka, Nuwan Thusara and Dushmantha Chameera. Talking about the pitch, we saw the warm-up match between India and Bangladesh and I think Sri Lankan bowlers can be seen bowling very well against South Africa. There is a bit of a problem with Sri Lanka’s batting lineup: Aakash Chopra Akash Chopra said about Sri Lanka’s batting lineup, ‘They may face some trouble here. The question is how Kusal Mendis, Charith Aslanka, Pathum Nissanka perform. The team also has Dhananjay de Silva, Dasun Shanaka and Angelo Mathews. Their batting is 50-50 but the bowling is tremendous. In this match, a fierce clash will be seen between Sri Lanka’s bowling and South Africa’s batting. South Africa recently lost 3-0 in the three-match T20 series against the West Indies. However, many South African players were unavailable in this series. Many South African players have performed very well in IPL 2024 and now they would definitely want to leave their mark against Sri Lanka as well. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Some time ago, he had protested against the umpire giving no ball to a ball going above the waist at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, after which the ICC has banned him for two matches. According to ICC rules related to ban, if a player gets four or more demerit points within two years, then these points are converted into a match ban. So in the absence of Wanindu Hasarga, Sri Lanka Cricket Board has added Jeffrey Vandersay to the team as his replacement. Jeffrey was last seen playing for Sri Lanka in the T20 format in February 2022. So far, Sri Lanka has played 14 matches, in which he has taken a total of 7 wickets.
