Sri Lankan spinners claw back after Tamim quickfire fifty Sun Online Desk 1st May, 2021 01:19:26 It took all of 21 balls on the third morning for Sri Lanka to pull the plug and declare, leaving Niroshan Dickwella stranded on 77, with his quest for his maiden Test century getting longer. He was the aggressor in that fifteen-minute phase, hitting Mehidy Hasan for a six and a four off consecutive deliveries. Alas, Taskin Ahmed struck at the other end to get a four-fer and his career-best figures, removing Ramesh Mendis with a quick short ball that he top-edged to the deep, and drawing curtains to the innings at 493 for 7. ....
Pakistan’s Rizwan in top 10 of ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings Staff Report LAHORE: Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan has made his maiden entry into the top 10 of the ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings after a player of the series performance in Zimbabwe that helped his team prevail 2-1.

Daily Times April 29, 2021 KANDY: After 28 consecutive result Tests in Sri Lanka ––– a glorious run stretching back to 2014 and a world record (by a distance) for any Test-hosting country ––– the first Test between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka was essentially trash from start to finish. The surface was slow from the outset, there was little movement to be had off the pitch or in the air, and as the deck had live grass on it, it didn’t break apart for the spinners either. We can only really hope that the surface for the second Test will be different. The strip that had been marked out for the second Test still had a lot of grass on it when the first Test concluded, and was still being watered. Perhaps they will shave it down and dry it out before Thursday morning, which should, in theory, make it better for the spin bowlers.
