Sri Lanka's spinners were relentless in the final two sessions of the day. Ravindra, however, stood firm, battling the deteriorating surface while the rest of the team crumbled around him. Ajaz Patel, New Zealand's last recognized batter, managed to survive the final overs, leaving New Zealand with a slim chance of victory on Day 5. Earlier, New Zealand came out after tea with renewed intent, with Ravindra and Blundell adding a quick 56 runs. However, the spinners struck back, removing Blundell, Glenn Phillips, and Mitchell Santner in quick succession, leaving Ravindra stranded. Sri Lanka's dominance on Day 4 was set up by the early dismissal of New Zealand's top order, as Mendis and Jayasuriya consistently troubled the batters. Now, heading into the final day, all eyes will be on Ravindra as he attempts to pull off a miraculous win for New Zealand, while Sri Lanka look to wrap up an iconic victory.
