India needs six wickets on final day of Galle Test to take series lead

India entered the final day of the fourth Test at Galle International Stadium with the series score at 0-1 in Sri Lanka's favour. To reverse the deficit, the visitors must dismiss the hosts six more times before the day's play concludes. The requirement places significant pressure on India's bowlers, who will need to combine pace, swing and spin to break through the Sri Lankan batting line‑up. Should they achieve the target, India will move ahead 1-0 in the series, turning the momentum in their favour. The outcome of the fifth day's session will determine whether the series swings back to India or remains in Sri Lanka's control.

The match has attracted keen attention from cricket fans in both countries, with the final day expected to be decisive. Team India’s coaching staff has emphasized disciplined line and length, while Sri Lanka will look to defend their lead by batting resiliently. As the sun sets over the historic Galle ground, the contest promises high drama for the remaining hours of play.
