Dickwella and Dinusha Lead Sri Lanka's Recovery in Galle Test Against IndiaPreviousNext

In the first Test at Galle, Sri Lanka staged a resilient recovery on day three, with Niroshan Dickwella (71 not out) and Sonal Dinusha (62 not out) forging an unbeaten 124-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Sri Lanka reached 214 for 5 by tea, trailing India's first innings total of 462 by 248 runs. Despite early setbacks, the pair's composed batting on a turning pitch helped Sri Lanka avoid follow-on, with the innings concluding at 284 runs amid weather interruptions.
