Pakistan Sri Lanka second test match 2022
The second Test match between the travelling Pakistan team and the Sri Lankan team representing the World Cup Test series is scheduled to start today in Galle. In the first match, the Sri Lankan team lost the first match due to insufficient runs scored in the first innings and the shortcomings of the bowlers and fielders in the second innings in Pakistan. Therefore, Pakistan is leading the series by one point and enters the second match with a winning mentality.
Covid 19 affected Pathum Nissanka has joined the team again and Lakshitha Manasinghe has been included in the team in place of Mahesh Theekshana who was injured in the previous match. Dunith Wellalage, who was released from the squad in the previous match, has also been included in the squad.
Shaheen Shah Afridi, who bowled brilliantly for Pakistan in the first match, has been rested from the second test due to a knee injury and has been replaced by Nauman Ali.
Angelo Mathews is set to play his 100th Test today and if he scores 124 runs, he will cross the 7000 Test runs mark and become the third Sri Lankan batsman to do so in the record books. Also, Dimuth Karunaratne needs only 88 more points to cross the 6000 points mark.
If the Pakistan team wins the match starting today, the Pakistan team will become the second team to win three consecutive matches at the Galle International Stadium. The England team has done this before.

பாகிஸ்தான் இலங்கை இரண்டாவது டெஸ்ட் போட்டி 2022
உலகக்கிண்ண டெஸ்ட் தொடரை பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்தும் இலங்கை அணிக்கும் பயணிக்கும் பாகிஸ்தான் அணிக்கும் இடையிலான இரண்டாவது டெஸ்ட் போட்டி இன்று காலியில் ஆரம்பமாகவுள்ளது. முதல் போட்டியில் இலங்கை அணி முதல் இன்னிங்சில் போதிய ரன்களை எடுக்காததாலும், பாகிஸ்தானில் இரண்டாவது இன்னிங்சில் பந்து வீச்சாளர்கள் மற்றும் பீல்டர்களின் குறைபாடுகளாலும் முதல் போட்டியில் தோல்வியடைந்தது. எனவே, தொடரில் ஒரு புள்ளி வித்தியாசத்தில் முன்னிலை வகிக்கும் பாகிஸ்தான், இரண்டாவது போட்டியில் வெற்றி பெறும் மனநிலையுடன் களமிறங்குகிறது.
கொவிட் 19 தொற்றினால் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட பாத்தும் நிஸ்ஸங்க மீண்டும் அணியில் இணைந்துள்ளதுடன், முந்தைய போட்டியில் காயமடைந்த மகேஷ் தீக்ஷனவுக்கு பதிலாக லக்ஷித மனசிங்க அணியில் இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார். கடந்த போட்டியில் அணியில் இருந்து விடுவிக்கப்பட்ட துனித் வெல்லலகேயும் அணியில் இணைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார்.
முதல் போட்டியில் பாகிஸ்தான் அணிக்காக அபாரமாக பந்து வீசிய ஷஹீன் ஷா அப்ரிடி, முழங்கால் காயம் காரணமாக இரண்டாவது டெஸ்டில் இருந்து ஓய்வு அளிக்கப்பட்டு அவருக்கு பதிலாக நௌமன் அலி சேர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளார்.
ஏஞ்சலோ மேத்யூஸ் இன்று தனது 100வது டெஸ்டில் விளையாட உள்ளார், அவர் 124 ரன்கள் எடுத்தால், அவர் 7000 டெஸ்ட் ரன்களை கடந்து சாதனை புத்தகத்தில் இடம்பிடித்த மூன்றாவது இலங்கை பேட்ஸ்மேன் ஆவார். மேலும், திமுத் கருணாரத்னவுக்கு 6000 புள்ளிகளைக் கடக்க இன்னும் 88 புள்ளிகள் மட்டுமே தேவை.
இன்று ஆரம்பமாகவுள்ள போட்டியில் பாகிஸ்தான் அணி வெற்றி பெற்றால், காலி சர்வதேச மைதானத்தில் தொடர்ந்து மூன்று போட்டிகளில் வெற்றி பெற்ற இரண்டாவது அணி என்ற பெருமையை பாகிஸ்தான் அணி பெறும். இதற்கு முன் இங்கிலாந்து அணி இதை செய்திருக்கிறது.
