Sri Lanka announced plans for tomorrow
Sri Lanka is poised to set a big target against Bangladesh. It's almost certain. Today, Sri Lanka extended their lead to 531 runs, leaving Bangladesh trailing by 178 runs. Then, Sri Lanka took the bat. However, in this innings, Sri Lanka couldn't capitalize much with the bat, losing 6 wickets. Yet, they maintain a lead of 455 runs over Bangladesh. Fast bowling coach Gamage shared plans for tomorrow in the press conference.
There is a possibility that this match could end tomorrow. Sri Lanka currently plans to add another 50-60 runs to their lead and put Bangladesh under pressure. After batting in the final session today, Sri Lanka is positioned at 102 runs, having lost 6 wickets.
Tomorrow marks the fourth day of the Chattogram Test. Gamage expressed, "We need to score as many runs as possible in the first session. We are already in a good position. Tomorrow, we aim to set a good target."
Sri Lanka's plan is to score as many runs as possible in the first session tomorrow. According to Gamage, if they manage to score around 50 more runs, they can have a lead of 500 runs. "Scoring in the first session will give us five more sessions to bowl. Fast bowlers will also get a little rest and come back fresh," he added.
The discussion also touched upon the discipline required in Test cricket. Every aspect, be it batting, bowling, or fielding, needs to be planned and executed meticulously for improvement in this edition of cricket.
The fast bowling coach emphasized, "We always talk about maintaining discipline in Test cricket. Even before discussing plans with the batters, we emphasize the importance of discipline in our bowling. We need to set up the field accordingly and bowl consistently. The pacers have quickly adapted to their roles in both Tests. We've come prepared for this match as well."
