Wed Sep 18 02:53:10 UTC 2024: ## Sri Lanka and New Zealand Clash in Crucial Galle Test
Galle, Sri Lanka – The first Test match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, kicking off a two-match series on September 18th, promises to be a pivotal encounter for both teams. Both sides are vying for a place in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, scheduled for June 2025 at Lord’s.
Sri Lanka enters the match after a recent 1-2 defeat against England, looking to rebound on home soil. New Zealand, on the other hand, arrives from a disappointing abandoned Test against Afghanistan in India, where weather conditions prevented any play.
The match, set to begin at 10:00 PM IST at the Galle International Stadium, will be a crucial test for both teams as they seek to secure valuable points in the WTC race. Cricket fans in India can catch the live action on Sony Sports network TV channels, while streaming options are available on the SonyLIV app and website, as well as the FanCode app and website.
