On October 26, 1998, Sri Lanka staged a remarkable comeback to defeat New Zealand by five wickets in the Wills International Cup at Dhaka. 🏏 Match Highlights: ✅ Jayasuriya’s first-ball dismissal triggered an early collapse as Sri Lanka slumped to 5/3 in the fourth over. ✅ New Zealand’s modest 188 looked challenging after Sri Lanka’s disastrous start. ✅ Arjuna Ranatunga’s match-winning knock, guiding the chase with an unbeaten partnership of 127 runs with Romesh Kaluwitharana. ✅ A brief floodlight failure momentarily halted Sri Lanka’s charge, but Ranatunga remained unfazed. Despite early troubles, Sri Lanka chased down the target with ease, thanks to Ranatunga’s cool-headed leadership and Kaluwitharana’s crucial support. 📌 Relive this thrilling comeback from the 1998 Wills International Cup! #ChampionsTrophy #CricketMax #SriLankaCricket #NewZealandCricket
