The stage is set for the fifth and final day of the ongoing second Test between India and Sri Lanka. Having won the first Test of the series, India is in a dominant position and will look to win the game and clinch the series as well.
Notably, Sri Lanka currently hold a lead of 16 runs with four wickets in hand as the final day of the clash approaches. Team India will look to limit Sri Lanka to as low a score as possible and chase down the target in hopes of clinching the game and the series.
It could be interesting to see how the two sides fare in the upcoming final day of the second Test, and whether or not Sri Lanka can hold it down against India, who have been relentless throughout the clash.
Ahead of the second Test, let us have a look at the weather report for the final day of the game, after rain has played a big role in the second Test, with rain playing spoilsport in several stages of the game. Fans would hope that the final day would provide for clear weather and no interruptions.
