The visitors finished the first day of the Test on 263/4.
One can do almost everything right as a batter, but still end up losing one’s wicket. An instance, very similar to this statement, has recently taken place in Australia. In the second unofficial Test of the AUS-A vs SL-A series, Sri Lankan batter Kamil Mishara was dismissed in a strange manner. Mishara was batting on 81 when he faced a bouncer from Henry Thornton. As a batter, the Sri Lankan did almost everything right. He sucked under the ball, but his bat remained upright in the air. As a result, the ball hit the blade and went up in the air, only to be caught in the slip cordon.
The visitors finished the first day of the Test on 263/4, with a magnificent century from Nuwanidu Fernando. He scored 102 from 234 balls with seven boundaries and a solitary six. The match is being played at Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin.

Earlier, Australia-A captain Jason Sangha won the toss and put the Lankans in to bat. The Lions batted well to see the new ball off. The only wicket that the Australians got was of opener Lahiru Udara, who scored 10. Mishara and Fernando then got together to stitch a fantastic partnership of 116 runs. Overall, the Australians managed to scalp four wickets in the day, but had to toil hard. Mitchell Perry, Liam Scott, Henry Thornton, and Zanden Jeh each managed to grab a wicket on the first day of the unofficial Test. Skipper Pasindu Sooriyabandara was the only batter to get dismissed at a single-digit total.
Watch the video where Kamil Mishara ducks under the ball to let it go, but his bat stays in the way.
The first unofficial Test was drawn. Earlier, the two teams also played a three-match ODI series. Australia-A beat Sri Lanka-A in the series, emerging victorious.
In the first unofficial ODI, the hosts scored a magnificent 332/4 batting first. Matt Renshaw and Nathan McSweeney top-scored with scores of 80 and 85, respectively. But Sri Lanka-A were bundled out for a mere 134. As a result, the Australians registered a victory by a mammoth margin of 198 runs.

The Lankan Lions then bounced back with vengeance. Batting first, they scored a competitive 294/7. Despite a fighting century from captain Matt Renshaw, the Australians could not chase the target and were left reeling at 243. As a result, the visitors won by 51 runs to level the series.
To top it all, then came the decider. In the decider, Sri Lanka A chose to bat first, but couldn’t get to a good start. Their openers were dismissed for cheap totals, and the Australian bowlers were on top. With help from the middle-order, the visitors got to a below-par 213/9. The Australians then took matters into their own hands and chased the target down inside 33 overs to win the match and the series.
