Watch Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Live Streaming Score, 2nd Test, Colombo (SSC). New Zealand are slated to play two test matches and two Twenty20 Internationals against Sri Lanka. In the two test series, one is already played and the visitors were routed to clueless defeat by more confident Sri Lanka team who won with a whopping margin of 202 runs despite rain playing spoilsport at the Galle.
Last time the two test matches played between these countries ended in a stalemate draw. With the first test ending in a result there is some excitement built in much needed before the start of second test on August 26, 2009 at the Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo.
However, illness has hit the New Zealand team as seven of its players were down with some kind of stomach upset forcing the team to succumb to defeat.
Both the teams admit they have learned from their past mistakes and reiterate they are looking forward to even more excitement in the second test.
This time the New Zealand team is hoping that all its players will be fit and get well from the viral fever and indisposed state. It is important for the ailing team to be back in to business by winning the second test and even it out so the series at least ends in a draw which is what New Zealand can look forward to.
While the Lankans will definitely want to play for a kill and they have no pressures whatsoever and they have the home crowd support to lift them up and their players Tilakaratne Dilshan and Muttaiah Muralitharan are in great form (can we say peak of their form at least for Dilshan?).
