It is interesting to note that Sri Lanka’s first win and its 104^th test win has the same start date of 06 Sep but in different years. Sri Lanka had carved its first win against India by 149 runs at Col-SSC which had a start date of 06 Sep 1985.   Its 104^th win was against England by eight wickets at The Oval which had a start date of 06 Sep 2024. The interval between Sri Lanka’s first win and its 104^th win is exact 39 years taking the start date the test match into consideration
