Sri Lanka’s captain, Dhananjaya de Silva, is optimistic that his side can move up the World Test Championship (WTC) standings ahead of this week’s pivotal match at Lord’s against England.
The stakes are high as Sri Lanka looks to equalize the three-match series and set up a decider at the Oval next month, where they hope to win their first-ever Test match at the historic location.
Following a heroic display at Old Trafford, when they exerted significant pressure on England before losing by five wickets, Sri Lanka is keen to reverse the trend at Lord’s.
