Most were expecting a washout of the series. Finally Sri Lankan cricket team have shown their strength with the massive win. Throughout the series the team that batted first have won the match. In every winning match of Bangladesh Sakib Al Hasan will be having his contribution, but this time it has lacked. In the first two matches everyone who placed bets on Bangladesh might've got better wins as the odds were high.

What sort of strength you are talking about? They lost the first two matches by a big margin and the third match was irrelevant as Bangladesh already had won the series. In the long term, the future of Sri Lankan cricket doesn't look safe. Anyway, now they have their first points in the ODI Super League. They are at the 12th position, with one win and 8 points from a total of 6 matches. On the 13th spot we have the Netherlands, who are yet to play any matches.
If Sri Lanka's management can't find skilled players now and include them in the squad, then it seems to me that Sri Lanka's situation will be like that of Zimbabwe in a few years. At one time the Zimbabwe team was much better, but now they are losing against all the teams. Players like Sangakkara, Jayawardene and Malinga could not find a replacement in Sri Lanka after the retirement. And so the Sri Lankan team is in such a state now.

Very crucial third ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to start in a few hours from now. Bangladesh has already won the series, but winning this match is a necessity for Sri Lanka as they are without any points so far in the ODI Super League. There is no need for alarm yet, as they have plenty of matches remaining. But is will be good for Sri Lanka to get at least one win from this series, as their next matches in the league are against very strong teams (India and England).
Sri Lanka is playing well in the last ODI match. They won the toss and choose to bat first. After 23 overs, they able to collect 131 runs by losing only 2 wicket. I think Sri Lanka will collect more than 280 runs today. And 280 runs is enough to beat Bangladesh if Sri Lankan bowlers can perform well.
End of 45 overs, Srilanka has scored 247 runs losing 5 wickets. I expect the score to be close to 300 by the end of the innings. If 300 is touched, then Sri Lanka will make a comfortable winning. There will be home ground advantage for Bangladesh, but during the second innings the pitch scenario used to change. This advantage needs to be used by the Sri Lankan bowlers.
Sri Lanka has collected as I expected. They have collected 286 runs. And I said this collection will be enough to defeat Bangladesh. At the end of 27 overs, Bangladesh scored only 103 runs. Bangladesh lost 4 wickets. At the moment I do not see any possibility of Bangladesh winning this match.

This was a giveaway match. It seems Bangladeshi players were least interested in playing the last match of the series. They were all out at 189, I never expected them to lose in such a manner. They were not even able to reach 200, zero effort displayed in the last match.
I think it too, that Bangladeshi players have given less importance to this match. However, such a batting disaster in Bangladesh is nothing new. Still, I thought Bangladesh would score at least 200 runs. However, Bangladesh won the series 2-1, which is a big achievement for them.

So the call from Sanath Jayasuriya to uphold the pride got the result and finally Sri Lanka played to win and won the match, i was not expecting this resurgence from the Sri Lankan top order and i thought they would mess up in the end as they started loosing wickets but was able to post a good total and Bangladesh failed to chase the score from the start and they were never in the game at any point of time and a consolation victory for them in the end.

Sri Lanka won by 97 runs, thus they take the series 2-1. Sri Lanka they outplayed Bangladesh every department. A well played by Sri Lanka. Bangladesh should take seriously their batting and fielding unit as their top order fail throughout the series. Bangladesh has some problem with team management, they should work out on it.
Bangladesh's top order batsmen have been consistently performing poorly. I think opening batsmen like Imrul Kayes and Anamul Haque should be given a chance. They have been out of the team for a long time. And other players in their position are not doing well. On the other hand, Sakib Al Hasan is not performing as expected. He could not play well in any of the 3 matches. He needs to be more focused on the batting.

Sri Lanka started their game brilliantly. I thought they would score above 300 runs. But they struggled a bit in the middle of the game. Eventually they managed to score a good total. Bangladeshi batsman showed poor performance today and the fielding was bad too. They have dropped few many easy catches. Shakib Al Hasan couldn't do well with his batting in this series. Whatever, Sri Lanka have bowled nicely as well and got the victory.

If Sri Lanka is looking to get points for the ODI super league then they need to win this match and if they are not able to beat Bangladesh then there is no way Sri Lanka is going to pose any challenge to England and India and i am expecting a white wash with the present form they are in.

Sri Lanka started well in this match and i was able to place a bet on the first innings score of above 251 runs and with they way things are going i am expecting them to score that milestone with ease and i am expecting them to score above 270 unless they end up loosing wickets one after the other.
Hope Kusal Perera to reach his century and the rest of the players play around him.

 Lasith Malinga was probably the last Sri Lankan player who could be classified as "legendary". After him, Sri Lanka was relegated to the category of teams such as Ireland and Zimbabwe. It is clear that the domestic cricket is not producing enough number of quality youngsters. The cricket board needs to look in to this issue and revamp the domestic setup. Else, in the long term they may end up like Kenya. Also, I don't have a good opinion about the SLCB. There is too much governmental interference on the board.
I have no idea about the involvement of a government in their respective boards and i do not think the ICC will appreciate that and that was evident in Zimbabwe when the government was controlling the board the ICC was forced to impose restrictions on them. Ireland and Sri Lanka do have issues in finding new talents and so does some of the countries who are not having a good domestic set up.

Sri Lanka was a world-class team when players like Sangakara, Jaywardhane, Dilshan, and Malinga were in the Sri Lankan squad. They were able to defeat any strong team. Sri Lankan cricket is in such dire straits now that these players have retired together. The Sri Lanka Cricket Board could not find their replacement. There are no experienced players in the squad now. I think if this squad plays with Afghanistan, Sri Lanka will also lose.
The Sri Lanka broad is at fault as they did not find any replacement for these legendary players and they all retired at once and they did not groom the young talents and that is the reason they are struggling and Angelo Mathews is the only player who is still in the team and i feel that he under achieved because he was a talented all rounder but he never fulfilled that because of the constant injury.
Srilanka is a team that can be seen on the top list. Now things have gone entirely different. Losing to Bangladesh means, the Bangladesh team have consistently improved their performance. Now Sri Lanka is getting into a situation same as Zimbabwe experienced in the past. The team is with good strength, but that didn't last long. Now drastic change needs to be done to rebuild the team.

They are ranked below Bangladesh in ODI ranking and below  Afganistan in T20. This was the same team that has won ODI worldcup. There are so many legendary players in Srilankan cricket and now you won't find a single player playing the IPL. Such a decline can only happen if the board is corrupt and incompetent.

They won the ODI World Cup 25 years ago.. many of the players from that squad are in their 50s and 60s now. Perhaps the squad of 1996 was the best that Sri Lanka ever produced, as it had their best players. To name a few, Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas, Sanath Jayasuriya, Romesh Kaluwitharana, Aravinda de Silva, Arjuna Ranatunga and Roshan Mahanama were present in that squad. These players retired after a few years and the downward spiral of Lankan cricket started almost immediately after that.
