When it comes to infrastructure, there is no comparison between the two teams. Sri Lanka is an under developed country and they have limited resources but still they have done well in the past and also won the ODI world cup in 1996.

New Zealand is considered as a developed nation and with all the resources they possess, they haven't been able to perform all that well. You can compare them with their neighbors Australia and you will find the NZ cricket is way behind the Australian cricket. NZ are considered Chokers as they usually lose a semi final or the knockout matches and still they haven't been able to get that tag removed from them.

Sri Lanka won the world cup almost three decades ago. Back then the circumstances were different. Quality of domestic cricket was quite poor in countries such as India and Pakistan. But now, Sri Lanka has remained where they were in 1996, while other teams have leaped ahead. IMO, unwanted government interference on SLCB played its part. They were only interested in the money and never cared about either improving the quality of domestic cricket or spreading cricket outside Colombo.

Both these teams perform well at home. But recently, New Zealand has shown that they can perform in difficult conditions as well (for example they whitewashed India 3-0 in India). Sri Lanka also had a few wins in SENA nations, but they still very heavily rely on spin-friendly conditions at home. Also, the main issue for Sri Lanka is that they don't have a well defined first class structure in comparison to the high quality competition (Plunket Shield) in New Zealand. Their club-based system is not sustainable in the long term.

New Zealand International cricket team is hard working team but they could not win any World Cup but qualified for many times in the final. We saw 2019 final in which England was the winner of this World Cup. Match was in the side of New Zealand cricket team but bad luck happened with the players of New Zealand and ball touched with the hand of Ben stokes and after ball hit to the boundary and England team got 4 extra runs and that was the turning point in this match and after game was level. Then super over was also level and England won the match due to more boundaries in the match. Sri Lankan is also good team and that team could win the tournament but they need more hard work and after they will win the ICC tournament.

Sri Lanka tour to New Zealand tournament, 2nd odi game played and this match between Sri Lanka And New Zealand was played Seddon Park. Sri lanka won the toss and elected to fielding first. New Zealand is a strong team and played fantastic match. New Zealand won the match by 113 runs. New Zealand set a record total runs for 255 and won the match. New Zealand chased total runs for 142 only and lost the match by 113. The best batting performance in the New Zealand team was by Rachin Ravindra scored 79 runs and 63 balls hitting 9 fours and 1 sixs. Congratulations to New Zealand for their upcoming matches.

Yes, I am with your concern. I love short games like T20 and ODI. If cricket world started a new feature in 10 overs or 6 overs with 6 players then it will catch more attention from cricket fans. I don't understand about long-term cricket named Test formate. It's a waste of time. The players will get their reward but the audience will lose their daily activity and lose their daily earnings. In this way audience loses their real money to go to the field while it is played and also loses their daily money. It's a loss of a nation.

Yes ,that is perspective of every citizen. We don't want to watch all overs of match because Test is 5 days match and as you explained about the test matches and we watched the test matches of Aus vs India series and Pak vs SA series. These test were very interesting and we watched all matches on the screen because physically we could not afford that loss . Pak team lose the series against SA by 2-0 but that was series of excitement but before we watched the series against Australia and India and Indian team lost the series against Australia in the Australia as we all watched for many times Indian team is king in the house and they could not play well out of the house.

Yeah. This test series went under the radar thanks to the India-Australia and Pakistan-South Africa series, but it turned out to be just as entertaining as them. Zimbabwe pushed the Afghans in this series.

Rashid was phenomenal as usual while many other players from both teams performed well too. Great time to be a test format fan.

I think test cricket is less loving because most of the fans like short game like T20 . ODI game is a game of 100 overs and both teams have to play 50 overs and Audience could not stay on the front of screen . T20 is shot game and audience could all overs of match but test matches are less loving because test is a game of 5 days and both teams play for 2 times but after 5 days we get no result in many matches and players have to make patience in these matches.India Australia matches were very interesting and after these matches millions of people start to see test cricket and that is positive step for test cricket because we want interesting matches and when big teams play good match , cricket will be famous.

Yes people like test cricket very less now and Test match takes the more time for which people now feel bored to watch Test format i.e. people don't want to watch Test match. Those who have enough time and those have no work can enjoy Test matches, but most people do not want to enjoy Test matches. Although people don't like watching Test matches these days, perhaps the first match played in the history of cricket was a Test match.

Nowadays, since the introduction of T20 format in cricket, this T20 format has become more popular among people and people are now more interested in watching matches in this format. Also we currently see T10, 100 leagues which are much shorter duration.

I like your suggestion BTW. Already there is a separate format called T10 cricket. But apart from the duration, almost everything else is the same as T20. There are 11 players in each team, which means that each batsmen get less than an over on average. The suggestion to reduce the number of players to 6 is a direction in the right step. This means that the batsmen need to conserve their wickets to a certain degree, and therefore the bowlers can have some impact on the match outcome.

One of the reasons for the low popularity of World cricket is the long duration of cricket where people cannot enjoy the entire game. Most of those who enjoy it have to drop their work during that time to do it. Since Test cricket is the most time-consuming of the three formats of cricket, the popularity of this cricket has further decreased and in the future, many may not be able to have the patience to watch this format of cricket. T20 cricket is much more popular than ODI cricket and Test cricket. If a viewer wants to enjoy this cricket, they can do so by dropping one of their jobs. For this reason T20 cricket is gaining popularity and the interest of viewers in other crickets is decreasing.

Cricket has turned into a regionally based game. This means it is popular in some part of the world, same as what we see with soccer. Different formats of cricket are being played. Most of the audience like test matches, but they don't have the time to watch them. This can be due to the time constraints. Now the short format of cricket has attracted people, and leagues have been getting popular all around. Based on the interest of the people, making changes to the format seems to be the right way of keeping people watching cricket.

If cricket is included in Olympics then I think the spread of cricket will increase worldwide.

Yes, It's confirmed that cricket will be in 2028 Olympics, but not sure if it'll help with popularity cause people who watch it will watch it, rest don't bother, am I wrong?

Most of the teams that qualified for the main stage in the last T20 World Cup have not played in the World Cup before so popularity plays a big role here. If these teams qualify for the main stage in every World Cup, the people of their country and their government will support them, thereby creating a possibility of financial gain here. And as the number of teams increases, the tournament will be longer, the competition will increase and these tournaments will be more enjoyable for cricket lovers. As you said that in future cricket will be included in Olympics many countries will get opportunity to play and I think new teams will emerge from here too who will do well in cricket in future.

Usually in the World Cups (both T20 and ODI), we see many small teams participating and usually we see one sided matches in the beginning of the tournament. What damage these small teams do is that in the group stages one or two teams beats a more stronger or popular team and denies thier entry in the Super 8 or whatever 2nd stage of the competition. It is in the 2nd stage that unexpected entry perform low and usually loses all of the matches.

That is why I think no matter how many 20 or 30 countries play cricket, unless there isn't any consistency and quality in them, they will just do not add any value to the cricket.

The match has gone into a very interesting situation. Zimbabwe lost his eight wickets at 205 runs. Zimbabwe needs 73 more runs to win this test match while they have only 2 wickets in hand. Afghanistan give a handsome target of 278 runs for Zimbabwe. Craig Ervine captain of Zimbabwe in on carees and playing at 53 runs. Craig Ervine inning assit Zimbabwe to win this match but other hand tail ender needs to stay on carees. Afghanistan bowling performance outstanding especially Rashid khan picked 6 important wickets by giving 66 runs and tomorrow last day of test match they need 2 more wickets to get victory for his team. lets see will Afghanistan win this match because they only needs few wickets while Zimbabwe needs a big partnerships of 70 plus runs to win it.

This match between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe was full of excitement, It is true. But Zimbabwe could not win this match. The pitch in the first Test match between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan was favorable for the batsmen, but the pitch in the second Test match was not favorable for the batsmen.

We saw that Zimbabwe had a target of just 277 runs to win this match. Still, they could not win this match mainly due to Rashid Khan's excellent bowling. The two Zimbabwean batsmen who scored a century in the previous Test match were dismissed for 0 runs in the second innings. Moreover, Rashid Khan bowled 27 overs and took seven wickets.

The Afghanistan team made a wonderful comeback in the second test match. It was very surprising that after being bowled out for 157 runs in the first innings, they won the match by an incredible 70 runs. All credit goes to player of the match Rashid Khan, who made a great memory in the Test match, picking 4 wickets in first inning and also pick up 7 wickets in second inning of test match. Rashid khan performed with the bat scored 50 runs almost in both inning of this test match. Zimbabwe bastman tired their best but Craig Ervine didn't saved this test match. Rashid Khan all round performance will assist to the team that's why the Afghanistan team will be able to win the Test match and also win the series.

Perhaps it was because of Rashid Khan's excellent bowling performance that the Afghanistan team was able to win the second Test match against Zimbabwe. Afghanistan scored only 157 runs in their first innings, Then in the second innings one of the best batsmen of their team Rahmat Shah batted with great patience and scored a century in this match which was much more important for his team.

Just as Rashid Khan's bowling contribution was the biggest for Afghanistan's victory in this match, Afghanistan's batsman Rahmat Shah contribution to the victory in this match was also huge. Due to the impeccable performance of these two Afghanistan players, their team managed to win the second test match against Zimbabwe even they managed to win the test series against Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan, 2nd test at Bulawayo. it's amazing to come back to Afghanistan and win the test match by 72 runs. Rashid Khan is one of my favorite players of Afghanistan Nation's He got in first innings 25 runs on his bat and 4 wickets for giving 94 runs on the bowling period. For the 2nd innings, he got 7 wickets from 66 runs, and on his bat, he collected 23 runs. that's outstanding playing to his hands. On the other hand, we can't ignore the batting performance of Rahmat Shah. For his bat, 392 runs got the Afghanistan team in this series.

Yeah. This test series went under the radar thanks to the India-Australia and Pakistan-South Africa series, but it turned out to be just as entertaining as them. Zimbabwe pushed the Afghans in this series.

Rashid was phenomenal as usual while many other players from both teams performed well too. Great time to be a test format fan.

The big news from European T20 Premier League (ETPL) is that Indian actor Abhishek Bachchan has become the owner of one of the franchises. The league received formal sanction of the ICC just two days ago, and it is being jointly organized by Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (KNCB), Cricket Ireland and Cricket Scotland. Not much information is available regarding the ETPL at the moment, including how many teams will participate and also about how many overseas players are permitted.

In last year's T20 world cup, competition was held between 20 teams, but all the new teams except USA were thrashed against established teams, almost as if these new teams didn't belong there in the competition and viewers didn't give a shit about minnow team's matches either as stadiums were found empty.

What I mean to say is, it doesn't make much sense to increase the number of teams, if they are not actually adding to the competition.

20-24 teams would be ideal for the T20I World Cup. The last edition (2024) was a bad one for the minnow teams. One of the reasons is that the ICC funding has been reduced for teams that are mostly comprised of native players. The focus of ICC has shifted to richer boards such as United Arab Emirates and the United States, where expats make up the playing XI. For teams such as Nepal and Netherlands, the quality has gone down as a result of this. Also, remember that the current ICC fund distribution system is heavily biased against the associate nations.
