Sri Lanka Achieve Humongous Test Feat, Break 48-Year-Old Massive Record
Sri Lanka cricket team made history on Day 2 of the second Test match against Bangladesh on Sunday as they broke a 48-year-old record. Sri Lanka scored 531 runs in their first innings without a single batter scoring a century. This was the highest total posted by any team in the history of Test cricket where none of the batters scored 100 or more. Among the top seven Sri Lanka batters, six slammed half-centuries with Kusal Mendis top-scoring with 93 while Kamindu Mendis was unbeaten on 92. The record previously belonged to India who scored 524/9 declared against New Zealand in Kanpur back in 1976.
