SL Vs AUS 2nd Test Free Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch Sri Lanka Vs Australia 2nd Test Online And On TV Channel?
On February 6, 2025, cricket enthusiasts around the globe will be tuning in to witness the highly anticipated second Test match between Sri Lanka and Australia at the iconic Galle International Cricket Stadium. With Australia leading the series 1-0 after a commanding innings-and-242-run victory in the first Test, the stage is set for an intense battle as both teams vie for supremacy.
In the series opener, Australia’s batting lineup delivered a dominant performance, with Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, and debutant Josh Inglis making significant contributions with the bat. Khawaja’s first double century in Tests, Smith’s 35th Test century, and Inglis’ century on debut showcased the depth and strength of the Australian batting order. The spin duo of Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann played crucial roles with the ball, dismantling Sri Lanka’s batting line-up and taking 16 wickets combined throughout the match.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka will need to regroup their strategies and make notable changes after their heavy defeat in the first Test. Sri Lanka’s batting lineup faltered under pressure, with only Dinesh Chandimal making a significant contribution with the bat in the first innings. The hosts will be desperate to put on a fight, especially as it marks Dimuth Karunaratne’s farewell Test. With the World Test Championship stakes high, Sri Lanka will be hoping for a strong comeback.

Australia’s emphatic innings and 242-run victory in the opening Test exposed Sri Lanka’s frailties against quality spin bowling. For Sri Lanka, the challenge is immense. Their batting collapsed in both innings, with Dinesh Chandimal’s lone resistance (72 runs) offering little consolation. The hosts will be desperate to put on a fight, especially as it marks Dimuth Karunaratne’s farewell Test. With the World Test Championship stakes high, Sri Lanka will be hoping for a strong comeback.
Weather Report: The Galle weather is expected to be hot and humid with rain threats on the first two days. Showers could disrupt play, but conditions are likely to clear up by Day 3, making batting easier before the pitch starts deteriorating for spinners.
Pitch Report: The Galle pitch has traditionally favoured spinners, with increasing turn and bounce as the match progresses. Pacers may find some swing early on, but from Day 2 onwards, spin will dominate. The team winning the toss is expected to bat first, as chasing on a crumbling pitch will be a nightmare.
