Sri Lanka’s embarrassing registration record: Among the three formats of cricket, Test matches are the formats where batsmen have ample opportunity to play long innings with ease, and it is rare that a team’s score drops to 100 or below. However, over the past few years, it has been seen that Test cricket’s squads are shrinking rapidly, as was evident in the first match of the two-Test series between South Africa and Sri Lanka in Durban. In this game, the Sri Lankan team scored 42 points, the lowest score in the history of cricket matches, and also set a record in the past 100 years.
Sri Lanka collapsed after facing just 83 balls.
In the Durban Test match, the Sri Lankan team was not only limited to 42 runs in the first innings, but also played only 83 balls, or 13.5 balls. This is the record for a team to go all out against the fewest balls in the history of Test cricket in the past 100 years. Earlier in 1924, South Africa faced England in the Edgbaston Test match and scored just 30 runs against 75 balls. If we talk about the first game of the Durban Test match of the Sri Lankan team, there were 9 players in their team who could not even reach double figures.
Nothing happened to Marco Yanson’s ball.
For South Africa, Marco Jansen’s bowling played a vital role in limiting Sri Lanka’s first-innings score to 42 runs, taking 7 wickets in 6.5 overs and conceding 13 runs. Apart from this, Gerald Coetzee 2 and Kagiso Rabada also managed to take a wicket. Judging from the score in the first game of this game, the South African team is currently leading by 149 points, which is crucial to determining the outcome of this game. Sri Lanka and South Africa are also in contention for the World Test Championship final.
