Sri Lanka showed progress in the World Test Championship Standings after wrapping up a 63-run victory over the inaugural WTC champions, New Zealand, in the opening Test in Galle on Monday.
Sri Lanka didn't need much time to wrap up the game on the final day of the first Test. With two wickets away from victory, lead spinner Prabath Jayasuriya weaved his magic, picked two wickets, and sent the hosts to the third spot in the WTC table.
With India and Australia ahead of them, Sri Lanka now have the best chance of challenging the 2023 World Test Championship finalists for a spot in the 2025 final at the Lord's.
