Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva said that their 63-run win against New Zealand in the first Test in Galle on Monday shows that they have the ability to beat any opponent in the red-ball format.

It was Sri Lanka’s second consecutive Test win, following a previous eight-wicket victory against England at the Oval earlier this month. However, they lost the series 1-2 against England before snatching a consolation win in the final Test of the tour.
