Don't know what was Jayasuriya was thinking. Golden days are over for the Lankans, not expecting anything extra ordinary in next 3-4 years except couple of blinders here n there.

When Jayasuriya was captaining the Sri Lankan team, Bangladesh was an associate nation and they didn't had the test status. Perhaps he is still stuck in that time. It may be hard for him to admit that now Bangladesh has leaped past Sri Lanka and the latter is on the downward slide ever since players such as Malinga and Sangakkara retired from international cricket. Rather than blaming the players, she should rather give suggestions to improve their performance.

^^^ We are still in the initial stages of the ODI Super League. Each team will be playing a total of 36 ODI matches (3 each against other teams) and right now Sri Lanka has played only 5 matches. More than 80% of their matches are remaining, including those against weak teams such as Netherlands, Ireland and Zimbabwe. But they need to be careful from now onwards, because teams such as Bangladesh are far ahead of them. Also, because of the CoVID 19 situation, there is a chance that at least some of these planned matches will be called off.

I should go through the original post however I was missed badly. Anyway, much appreciate for your pointing out. Bangladesh go up 2-0 and take the series against Sri Lanka, and secure the top position of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. Following CWC league table Sri Lanka on 12th position since Sri Lanka are continuing their downward slide. I'd be happy and proud if Sri Lanka can complete at top 5, even 6-7 would be great.

It will be too much to expect from a team which is currently at the 12th spot, to get promoted to the 5th. And from what I have heard, their next ODI series is against England and India (the latter one looks doubtful though), and getting enough wins from these series will be very tough. But fortunately this league stretches to 2023, and therefore Sri Lanka has probably enough time and matches in hand to secure their promotion to the top-8. Playing in the qualifying tournament can be quite humiliating.

@Sithara007 I doubt that Srilanka will qualify for the top 8 because in this series they have shown that they’re a weak team, and if they wish to change their fortunes then they must put in more efforts, and even try and give other player’s a chance. Furthermore do you really believe they can make it to the top 8, and is it a sentimental believe or you have some solid research to back your statements.

There we have it - Bangladesh have absolutely bossed this, and tamed a hapless Sri Lankan side here, to achieve their first bilateral ODI series win against them, such that they can play that "perfect game" in the third ODI with all the freedom in the world.

This is the first ODI series win for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka. And Bangladeshi team have played perfectly in both match, hope they will also perform nicely in the last ODI match. Now the weather condition isn't good in Bangladesh. The weather forecast says that Cyclone Yaas may hit in Bangladesh on 26th May. Hopefully the weather won't be bad during the last ODI match on 28th May. Today the match had to stop several times because of rain and the game has ended with DLS method. Current Sri Lankan team isn't perfect enough, the players need to be more careful with their batting.

This is the original post and the posters were talking about the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. They were not talking about the ICC ODI rankings, which anyway doesn't have any relevance. And they are right. Sri Lanka most probably will finish outside the top-8 and they may be require to play the qualifier tournament if they want to take part in the ICC ODI World Cup in 2023.

Sri Lanka really struggling at 91/5 after 26 overs. Unless there is a miracle, they will lose this match as well and that will leave them with a grand total of -2 in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League (from 5 matches). Just one more ODI remains in this series and even if they win that one, they will end up with just 8 points (for comparison, Ireland is having 10 points right now). And given that their next ODI series is against England (and that too an away series), things really look tough for SL.

Amazing counter attack from Mushfiqur Rahim. Bangladesh made a total of 246, after being reduced to 184/7 at one point. Rahim added valuable runs with the lower order, with Mohammad Saifuddin giving plenty of support. The 8th wicket partnership added 48 runs and that might have saved the match for Bangladesh. But it needs to be seen whether the match can be completed, as the weather prediction is not looking good.

Bangladesh scored 247 runs, enough to win on this pitch. And it seems that Bangladesh will win easily. The Sri Lankans lost 4 valuable wickets for only 85 runs. And 23 overs are already over. Bangladesh will win this match too, but I am not satisfied with the batting of Bangladesh batsmen. There are very few batsmen to perform regularly in the Bangladesh team.

You are right, Bangladesh batsmen are not regular. Players like Liton Das are not able to help the team much, yet they are being given a chance to be in the squad. Despite not performing as expected by the Bangladeshi batsmen, the Bangladeshi bowlers are bowling well enough. Sri Lanka lost 5 wickets for 89 runs. I do not see any chance for Sri Lanka to win this match.

Bangladesh had finally made a good target. Now Sri Lanka is struggling same as the first ODI losing fast wickets. The required run rate isn't quite high, but fall of few more wickets within the next five overs will increase the winning chance of Bangladesh. With the current score of 86/4 at 23 overs completed, the winning percentage of Sri Lanka is just 20%

Bangladesh is batting first and they are struggling at 213 for the loss of 7 wickets and the match is delayed due to rain and it looks like the match will be either reduced or will be washed off as the rain is heavy as per the reports. I thought of placing a small bet on Sri Lanka but it looks the match will not take place.

Edit: The ground staffs are great as they were able to remove the water and now the match is resumed.

In terms of ICC Mens team ODI rankings, Sri Lanka remains on the 9th position on the table, while Bangladesh is on the 7th position. Might be possible you get confused between ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League and ICC Mens team ODI rankings.

We still don't know whether the remaining matches will go ahead as scheduled or not. Earlier today, three members of the Sri Lankan contingent had tested positive for COVID 19, and the Lankans were blaming the BCB for providing inadequate quarantine facilities for their bio-secure bubble. Now it is learnt that two of those who had tested positive have returned negative tests, and the remaining member was infected with COVID earlier. BCB is claiming that the earlier positive results were "false positives". I just hope that the tour is not called off.

The tour won't be cancelled. Till now only one player is affected by COVID of both teams. There was something wrong with the other two reports and they have tested negative on their second covid test. The series won't be cancelled unless a large number of players get affected by COVID. Hopefully, BCB will be more careful now about the bio-secure bubble.

Bangladesh won the first ODI today against Sri Lanka. ‘Wanindu Hasaranga’ created a little hope for Sri Lanka but he couldn't fight till the end and lost the game. Sri Lanka is in risky zone of ICC Cricket World Cup Super League points table. They must need a victory at this point.

Right now Sri Lanka stands on the ninth position on the table, whereas Bangladesh is on the seventh position. As said in the above post, each loss will cost big for Sri Lanka. Now it's time for Sri Lanka to take immediate measures to make the team stronger. We can't say just a single player is affected, because we don't know from that particular person who and all have got infected.

No. You are wrong. As per the latest updated table, Sri Lanka is in the 12th position:

https://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup-super-league/standings

Who told you that they are 9th?

Bangladesh is currently having 40 points and they are on the 4th position (and not 7th as you have mentioned). Out of the 13 teams, Netherlands is yet to play any match and therefore they are at no.13. Actually Sri Lanka is having a negative total right now, because during the 3rd ODI against West Indies they were penalized for the slow over rate. So they have played 4 matches in total till now, and lost all 4. And the total points stand at -2.

Bangladesh cricketers could win second match, and will go 2-0 up or will Sri Lanka level the series today?

The virus is mutating and the scientist are studying more about it, earlier it was not airborne but now it looks like everyone is getting infected left and right which makes me think that the mutated one will spread airborne as well and if that is the case then bio secure bubble will not help either.

I thought Sri Lanka could chase the score as it is not a huge score to reach but the inexperience of the players showed big time and the wicket was not easy to bat and the performance of Wanindu looked promising and i am expecting similar pitches for the rest of the series.

What is that Sri Lanka can do to produce talents like they used to have, they need to start hunting from the grass roots level and strengthen domestic cricket like India is doing. In the past they had a few talents in the team that could make an impact but they are now producing more talents like Australia used to have in the past and they can follow the same route and groom them to represent the team and it is going to be a long process.
