The first test match is being played between Sri Lanka and New Zealand in Galle. On the first day of this match, the first session of the match was mixed. That is, if Sri Lanka scored 88 runs in it, New Zealand also got 2 wickets. However, for the Sri Lankan team, which won the toss and came to bat first, Angelo Mathews' retirement hurt in the first session of the first day was not good from the point of view of the health of the team. Angelo Mathews, who made a record as soon as he stepped on the ground against New Zealand in Galle, had to leave the field due to injury.

He went out of the field due to an injury in his right hand finger
