Colombo Test: Rain threatens result as India leads Sri Lanka

Colombo Test India vs Sri Lanka Sonal Dinusha Pasindu Sooriyabandara cricket

The second Test between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo has been heavily impacted by rain, threatening a decisive result. After India declared their first innings at 503/9, they bowled Sri Lanka out for 290, enforcing the follow-on.

Sri Lankan batter Sonal Dinusha delivered a standout performance, scoring a century in the first innings and continuing to fight in the second. Pasindu Sooriyabandara also provided resistance with a notable 92 runs in the second innings, forming a 115-run partnership with Kamindu Mendis before being dismissed.

In the second innings, Sri Lanka reached 229/6, holding a slim 16-run lead, when heavy rain forced an early end to Day 4. India requires four more wickets to end the innings. While India remains in a strong position to potentially sweep the series, persistent weather forecasts in Colombo pose a significant challenge to completing the match.
