India vs Sri Lanka

The third match of the Sri Lanka vs India ODI series has started. Sri Lanka won the toss in all three matches in the ODI series. Today also Sri Lanka decided to bat after winning the toss like in the first two matches. So far Sri Lanka have collected 94 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 22 overs. Sri Lanka's two opening batsmen are both batting patiently, but already Pathum Nissanka could not score a half-century due to 5 runs, he was dismissed for 45 runs. Avishka Fernando remains unbeaten on 46 runs. If Sri Lanka can score 250+ today then the match will be very competitive. Let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can score in the end.

Yeah, in 3rd and final game sri lanka batting first and made 248 runs excellent batting by Avishka Fernando he made 96 runs and Kusal Mendis scored fifty first and second wickets partnership help sri lanka team to post a good target of 249 runs. India team failed to take wickets early which cost high india team failed to chase the target they could made only 138 runs with loss of all wickets. No player from India team played long innings and they failed to make big partnership like Sri lanka excellent bowling by sri lanka team they dominated on Indian batsman Dunith Wellalage destroyed India batting line by taking 5 wickets while other bowlers also contributed. Sri lanka won the series by 2-0 and this is first time after 1997 sri lanka team won an ODI series against India

The Sri Lankan main player Avishka Fernando luck was hard as he was too close to make his century but he was out on 96. Riyan Parag picked his wicket and did a wonderful celebration with Virat Kohli and other players after out him.

The openers of the Sri Lanka team gave a very good start to the Sri Lanka as Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando made partnership and this partnership broke in the 19th over but until that time, this pair almost made around 100 score, the original one was 89. In short, on 89 score (19th over) the Sri Lanka team lost their first wicket of Pathum Nissanka.

Yes, that was a big thing for Indian team but more important thing was only win. Sri Lankan team won the match one sided . No player from Indian team played well and all team out making 138 runs. That is surprising performance by Sri Lankan team because they outclass team. Indian team is champion and most people think that Indian A and B team can win the match against any team of World. That was a right statement but now that statement is looking wrong because no one knows the time and every day is different from the other day. But I appreciate Sri Lankan young players who played crutial role to win this match and upset Indian team . Indian team should change their strategy in next series.Sri Lankan main three players made the match and Kusal Mendis also made half century for the team and team needed that.

I think Shivam Dube is only able to play test matches or leagues.

I could be wrong but seeing Dube play feels like he only knows to hit big shots; whenever he plays defensive shots, or shots for singles, it feels like he's forcing himself to do so. Playing to his nature might be good idea for for both team and himself.

I don't think that Dube has a lot of experience with ODI format. He has focused in T20 format since the last few years (especially the IPL, but also in Mumbai Premier League for Rizvi Mumbai), and he also participates in the Indian domestic cricket which is dominated by 4-day matches. He plays for Mumbai, along with a lot of other talented players. A lot of people struggle in the 50-over format, because they need to be very careful about the scoring rate. Can't be over-aggressive, and can't be over-defensive.

Sri Lanka played a very good match and also previous two and scored a lot of runs to win the match. Sri Lanka is a very strong team proved in this tournament in T20 tournamen, they showed lost performance. Sri Lanka has played well in the past matches and their team has worked very hard to come forward. They have also made their fans very happy. Sri Lanka's team's playing was amazing. Hopefully they will continue to play like this in the future.India was a very good team but this time they lost . India has played very well in all the previous matches of T20. India was personally my favorite, but this time India disappointed me by losing the match and they need to work harder for their fans.sri Lanka won the match by 110 runs and won the match. Sri Lanka set total runs for 248 and won the match. India total runs for 138 and lost the match. The 3rd match between Sri Lanka and India at the country R premadas stadium. Sri Lanka won the toss and batting first. The best batting performance in Sri Lanka man team was aviskha Fernando scored 96 runs and 102 balls hitting 9 fours and 2 sixs. Congratulations to Sri Lanka for their upcoming matches.

Considering that India is a strong team and Sri Lanka beat India in ODI format we can praise Sri Lanka but only based on one series result but it cannot be said that Sri Lanka is a very strong team. I have always considered Sri Lanka as an average performing team. Remember sri lanka beat india at their home ground there are many series where india beat bangladesh australia beat bangladesh so Bangladesh is not a stronger team than india or australia. Sri Lanka took the home advantage, the wicket was built in such a way that the Lankan bowlers got an added advantage and it did. Indian batsmen are used to batting on the wickets they did not get in Sri Lanka due to which they could not bat well. I will consider Sri Lanka as a strong team when Sri Lanka defeats India on Indian soil and secures the series by defeating them.

The Indian team was facing problems in the batting side but they had all the main players in batting as they had big batsman names including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill. This is top order while when we concentrate on the middle order then there is Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and after these six batsmen, I don’t think they should be in need of any other batsmen.

Yes, they were missing to Hardik Pandya and Surya Kumar but everybody knows how poor the performance Surya has in the ODI matches but he is amazing in T20. Hardik Pandya is good player but without him, the Indian team have to play well.

I don't know why they are not performing well. They are all experienced batsmen mean Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. I think they have no bound with the new players. Or the reason is different. Or we can say that the Srilankan bowlers are good. Because Srilankan bowlers bowled reall well the match. I think that is the reason. You are missing some batsmen I was missing Bumrah he is a good bowler and I think if he would be in the match Srilanka couldn't cross 200 runs. Well thing is that Srilanka has won the series which is really surprising thing.

Losing to Sri Lanka is simply not acceptable. Had they lost to teams such as Australia or England, or for that matter South Africa or New Zealand, we could have still found some excuse. But how can anyone justify the Indian team losing to Sri Lanka? And this was a full strength squad, which comprised of legends such as Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav and Rohit Sharma. BTW, feels good for Parag. He was the only player who showed consistency in this tour. This guy deserves a lot of praise.

The result was different and in both last matches Sri team did first batting and gave 200+ target and Sri Lankan team defend the score very well. In second last match Indian team was very close to win and score was level but Arshdeep did mistake to hit a hot . But in last match Sri Lankan team won the match by 32 runs ahmbd Indian all team out by making 208 runs.Indian team should work on their middle order and low middle order because that is weaknesses of them . Indian team should take batting first and hit good score on board and If Indian cricket team will give good target in today match then we will see different result.

By the way., Congratulations to the Sri Lanka team.

Sri Lanka really deserved to win the series and game. There is no seriousness seen among Indian batters. They are almost the best players in the world, but unable to chase down these small scores with so much low run rate. I agree that the pitch was very spinner friendly, and under the lights, the balls even turned more, but still, you are one of the best batsmen in the world; you should be aware of the conditions and bat accordingly. Other than Rohit Sharma, no Indian batter has done anything in this series. As soon as Rohit gets out, within 1 hour the whole team returns to the pavilion. The management really needs to think about this.

Most of the Indian fans are surely feeling not good because they were expecting performance like they watch in T20i World Cup and in last ODI world cup, but things were completely down because mostly batsmen were not on their best and fans feeling most of the senior batsmen were not interested to play this series I'm also having feeling sending full team is not good decision by the selectors because here they can take chance with youngsters.

But now it's all happened, and they need to learn from their mistakes because it's time for looking forward and having improvement in performance with consistency if they are keep going like these things can go badly down, and we can face backlash in future against any quality team.

Rohit Sharma was the only best batsman in this series with his consistency and performance all others were playing like crap it's all batting failure with bowling were still good and on track in all games.

The bowlers of the Sri Lankan team have performed best in ODIs this season. Because due to the bowlers and the batting team's collective good performance and aggressive play, India beat the team brutally. Meanwhile, the Indian team is severely lacking on the batting side, while their T20 matches have given them more morale.

But the Sri Lanka team completely reversed the attitude and gave a befitting reply in the ODI matches, Sri Lanka team won almost all three matches and India team won three matches in the remaining T20 matches. But in terms of strength, we consider the Indian team to be the strongest in terms of playing cricket.

The Indian team was facing problems in the batting side but they had all the main players in batting as they had big batsman names including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill.

Sad ending of ODI competition for Indian sqaud they faced a very bad defeat in ODi competition after playing amazing in T20I competition against same sqaud Sri Lanka and whitewash them in T20 Format competition. But in ODi competition, their squad made an excellent comeback and India surprised by their performance in all matches. In third match, scores of Sri Lanka squad in Defeating target was not much high Infront of India Strong sqaud but Sri Lanka bowlers did not allow Indian batters to achieve their Defeating target of 248 scores. All batters of Indian sqaud was wiped out at 138 scores and lost third match as well this competition with 2 lose and one drawn.

Bumrah is definitely an integral member of the Indian team, across the different formats. But that doesn't mean that India can't win matches without him. Honestly, I didn't thought that Bumrah was needed for the Lankan tour. But then things didn't turned up that well. Siraj was inconsistent, and at times he leaked plenty of runs. Arshdeep Singh and Khaleel Ahmed are still not up to the level of tier-1 bowlers. Ideally the BCCI should expand their pool of pacers and think about other deserving bowlers. Arshdeep, Khaleel, Avesh.etc have got enough chances till now.

Bumrah is good bowler but it does not mean the Indian team is nothing without him. They have Virat Koli and Rohit Sharma, also when the Indian team won the Asia Cup 2023 then there was a lot of hype for Muhammad Siraj as he picked 6 wickets in the final, so where he is now?
Why he is not performing? Just over confidence. Shocked

In short, the Indian team doing action then they got a reaction. In the first innings of the last match, they were playing with full aggression and disrespecting to the team of Sri Lanka but then as Sri Lanka started to take Indian wickets, it had altogether another level of revenge.

As such the ODI format has lost it's relevance. Everyone focuses on T20 format now, and the remaining attention is eaten up by test format. On paper, India sent a strong squad for the ODI series. But they had an unbalanced squad. And it resulted in Sri Lanka winning an ODI series against India, after a long gap of almost three decades. Indians became a bit complacent, and given the recent performance of the Lankans you can't actually blame them. But then Sri Lanka got their basics right and went on to win the series.

Yes, it is absolutely true. Even though I do not think that India is absolutely dependent on Bumrah, he is definitely a very important player for them. I think he single-handedly saved India in this recent World Cup. Just think about the match against South Africa. India definitely would have lost the match if they did not have Bumrah. I am not saying India would have been able to win the match if he was in the team. But the total would have definitely been a lot less for sure. And when you know that you will have to face 10 over from him you are going to play differently and that creates a mental pressure on the players as well. Which can also lead to mistakes. But anyway at the end of the day we have to congratulate Sri Lanka.

I agree that Bumrah is good but India has many other good players in the team too.

I think there is only one player who takes ODI like T20 in the Indian team but if he would take it like ODI then he could play much better but due to the pressure of the team and the opponent, he could not do this.

Yes, he is the one and only Rohit Sharma

. Except of him, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Sheryas Lyer, Axar Patel, everyone is not in form and they take ODIs like test match and fastest they are losing wickets, also not with the good and high strike rates. They are playing slow and Shivam Dube has also done nothing in this match too, i think Shivam Dube is only able to play test matches or leagues.

I don't feel like you. Bhumrah is the most talented and experienced bowler in the Indian team. However, it is not true that the Indian team is completely dependent on Bhumrah, the main reason for India's defeat in this series is the poor performance of their batsmen. Indian batsmen have not batted well in any of the three ODI matches. We have seen bad batting in every match. Apart from Rohit Sharma, no other batsman was in good form. Even in the last match, India lost by a huge margin of 110 runs.

You are right, but I am right too. If Bumrah would have played, I doubt SL would have crossed 200 in any of their matches making it easier for the batsmen to play under less pressure. Chain reaction basically.

Yes I agree with you. India really needed Bhumrah in this squad. With Bhumrah in the squad, Sri Lanka would not have been able to score 230+ in every match. Sri Lanka lost wickets very quickly especially in the first two matches. Still collected 230+. And a collection of 230+ on this pitch can be called a big target.

We don't see a better performance from an experienced bowler like Mohammad Siraj in this match. He picked up only 3 wickets in three matches. He has scored a lot of runs in every match. Especially in the last match Mohammad Siraj scored 78 runs in 9 overs. The performance of the Indian bowlers was not good even in the match.

On the other hand, the bowling of the Sri Lankan bowlers was very controlled. Wellalage, Asalanka, Jeffrey Vandersay and Hasaranga all performed well. The Sri Lankan team was not dependent on any particular bowler. So the team was able to get good results in all three matches.

In short, on 89 score (19th over) the Sri Lanka team lost their first wicket of Pathum Nissanka.

Here what I feel that India still needs to shake off the hangover from their T20 World Cup win. In this series, India's bowling was subpar, and their batting was even worse. Their middle order looked especially weak. Sri Lankan bowlers did a great job, while the Indian batters lacked the commitment to win.
Sri Lanka defeated India in the third match, winning the ODI series 2-0 after a long long time. This was one of Sri Lanka's best ODI performances in a while. Winning an ODI series against a full-strength Indian team is not an easy task. Congratulations to Sri Lanka!

After winning T20I world and having win in Zimbabwe we witnessed a first touch series for India, as their batting was completely out of the touch with middle order and lower order were at their lowest level just because of this we see this 2–0 lost for them even their bowling were good, but their batsmen were not on right track.

In three games, we saw 27 wickets for the Sri Lankan spinners; these statics are amazing because we all know how India are having the best quality against spinners but this squad having nothing, and they were down like crap now they should take time for checking their mistakes and fixing them because if they fail to keep things on better level surely it's going to be trauma for them in upcoming series and Champions Trophy. This is historic win for the home team as they are coming out of shadow and having some good development with most chances now things could be back on track for Sri Lanka cricket.

Every team match is obviously considered combined effort in literally every sport out there, but some players like Bumrah deserve being put on the pedestal because of their game-changing performances.

For example, he shifted the momentum from the South Africans to the Indians when the target required was just 30 from 30. That itself says it all.

Hardik taking Klassen's wicket was more momentum shift than anything else tbh.

He had all time to get settled yesterday though, albeit it was pressure situation.

Well.. I can agree. But it was a pressure situation, in your own words. By the time Riyan Parag arrived at the crease, 5 wickets had already fallen. He had the huge responsibility to stabilize the situation, with limited resources. When he arrived, India were at 73/5. Then Shreyas Iyer got out to leave them at 82/6. Riyan tried to build a partnership with Shivam Dube, but it was not his day. Anyway, I understand what you are trying to say. If unlimited opportunities can be given to players such as Samson, Arshdeep and Avesh, I don't think that giving a few more chances to Parag will hurt a lot.

Huge responsibility and also an opportunity, I'd also add that it was bad leave (the ball he got out on).
