Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter/X) New Zealand cricket team’s all-rounder Glenn Phillips has rotated a ball in the match in such a way that a snake rotates its body during its movement. The video of this ball thrown by Phillips is rapidly going viral on social media. Let us tell you, this video is from the first match of the ongoing Test series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand at the Galle International Cricket Stadium. It can be easily seen in the video that in the 35th over, Philip bowled a ball to Sri Lankan captain Dhananjay de Silva, which he went to defend. Dhananjay is not able to read the ball properly and he tries to play it as if it was a normal spin but the ball bowled by Phillips takes so much turn that it hits the wicket directly. Phillips sent Dhananjay back to the pavilion on a total score of 11 runs. De Silva was also stunned after getting out. See how Glenn Phillips made the ball dance to his tune AN ABSOLUT PEACH FROM GLENN PHILLIPS…!!!pic.twitter.com/n0tdYBX9mY — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) September 18, 2024 Sri Lanka vs New Zealand 1st Test, Day 1 result On the other hand, if we tell you the status of this match, then the host Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first.
