In the second and final test of the series, Sri Lankacaptain Dhananjaya de Silva won the toss and elected to bat first at the Galle International Stadium. Cooper Connolly made his debut on Thursday and became 471st player to wear the Baggy Green for Australia.  Sri Lanka, reeling from a crushing defeat in the first Test, will be eager to rebound after their heaviest-ever Test loss. Australia dominated the opening game, winning by an innings and 242 runs, showcasing superiority in all aspects of the game.  With the series on the line, Australia will aim to maintain their momentum, while Sri Lanka will look to recover and make a strong statement in front of their home crowd.
 
A win in the second Test will further enhance their legacy and mark a rare series victory in South Asia, following their triumph in Pakistan in 2022. This would be their first series win in the subcontinent since their 2011 victory in Sri Lanka.  Check all latest updates Champions Trophy 2025 here
