I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
In the second ODI match most people bet on India to win but most people lost bets on this match. India played well against Sri Lanka in T20 but their performance in ODI matches is not looking good. But we can see that the performance of the Sri Lankan team has improved a lot and they are fighting this brilliantly against India in every match. Moreover, the great win they got, they will definitely try hard to win the next match and they have a chance to win the series. Sri Lankan team will play maximum strength to win the next match they will plan to beat India, if they win the next match then definitely win the series.
Yes there is no doubt that most people were in favor of India victory.  But no one knew the result and if it was their target it was not that difficult for India.  India is perform well but their batsmen are not perform as well as they have been and it is because of the pressure from the Sri Lanka bowlers.  And if you see the India batsmen got a target of 240 and their batsmen will be all out in 43 overs.  And because of that their batsmen are restless and under pressure in ODI.  If they don't pay attention to it, they can lose the series.  And speaking of Sri Lanka struggle, it is their bowlers who have improved themselves and if their batsmen also play smartly, they could have given a target of over 300.  But their bowler took courage and won the match.  Congratulations to Sri Lanka for this win.  And India batsmen should try not to put pressure on themselves.
I think that is big success by Sri Lankan team because Indian team is top class team of the World and Indian full strength team is playing in this match. Virat Kohli and Rohit are also part of that team but  Indian team lose the 2nd match of ODI series.  I appreciate the bowlers of Sri Lankan team because against Indian team doing bowling is not an easy task and againt Indian  defend 240 score is not small task .I appreciate all bowlers but especially Jeffrey Vandersay who took 6 wickets in this match and took player of the match due to great effort in this match .Sri Lankan batters should work on their batting because if in the next match Indian team won the toss then they will chose batting and they will give 300+ target on board and how Sri Lankan team will chase that score? So they should learn from their mistakes because Indian team is not small team and they will come back in next match.

That's right, winning the Sri Lankan team match against India is a big achievement for the Sri Lankan team. From the matches of this ODI series, it can be seen that the players of the Sri Lankan team have improved their game a bit. So far in this ODI series we have seen 2 matches played where in both the matches Sri Lankan team put up a tough fight against India. There is still one more match left in this series. Now if the Sri Lankan team players can maintain their consistency in the upcoming match. Then the Sri Lankan team can create a chance to win this series against India. But in my opinion Sri Lanka team needs to be very conscious and hardworking to win this series against a strong team like India.
It is surprising but true that Sri Lanka has played brilliantly in the two ODIs held against India and even put up a strong fight against India. In both the matches, the Indian team lost because of their slow batting. I would say that in the second match the entire India team was caught by one Sri Lankan bowler. Sri Lanka's right arm leg break bowler Jeffrey Vandersay has shown excellent bowling skills. He bowled 10 overs and picked up six valuable wickets for just 33 runs in this match which was in one word unbelievable even as it was his career best spell.

Jeffrey Vandersay sent India's best batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gil, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube and KL Rahul back to the pavilion. Due to his impeccable performance, the Sri Lankan team declared him the man of the match in the second ODI match against India.
Yes it has to be admitted that the Sri Lankan team has performed well in their ODI series and the great performance they showed against India was really interesting. India's batting performance is not so good at present, losing every ODI match against Sri Lanka due to poor batting. However, Sri Lanka's brilliant bowling performance in the two ODI matches made their win against India possible. However, I think all in all the Sri Lankan team is currently performing well, but India's game is not improving and India must play well in the third match. If India loses the third ODI match then it will definitely drop and Sri Lanka will win the series, so India need to improve their batting.

Netherlands Women's ODI Tri-Series

Anyone covering this series?
Because they already have played one match and they will play the second match today. The first match played between Papua New Guinea Women and Netherlands Women. Netherlands win this match.
First Papua New Guinea played first turn and they made 148 runs and got all team out and Netherlands Women team chased that target in 37 overs with the lost of 7 wickets.
Well today match is between Papua New Guinea Women and Scotland Women. And at this time really hard to predict that which team will win. I hope Scotland will perform well and try to win this match. Or may be Papua New Guinea will try to cover their last lost. Smiley

Both the Netherlands women's team and the Papua New Guinea team are quite weak. And that's why we don't see much discussion about this match. But I checked the scoreboard of the match. It was not a very exciting match.



Papur New Guinea managed to collect only 148 runs. Henao Thomas scored the maximum 30 runs for the team. Papua New Guinea's batting order is very weak. No top order batsman can bat responsibly. Iris Zwilling and Landheer took 3 wickets each. These two bowlers bowled very controlled.

Papua New Guinea provided smaller targets. Even then, it was not easy for the Netherlands women's team to score only 149 runs. However, Netherlands women's team won the match only because of Robin Rijke's innings of 60 runs. Besides, no other batsman can play well.

Shubman Gill still played poor than average, made average runs but wasted balls too while Virat Kohli tried to hit like Rohit Sharma but he was not lucky and also at the start of the game after making 14 off 19 balls, then like after doing struggle they reached to the 200 score as well but can’t chase the target towards win. I would say Bad and hard luck for the captain and the Indian team. team.
I think the Indian team is not fit for the Champions Trophy 2025 because their team is losing the matches against SriLanka while the Indian team is fully fit with the A grade team.

Sri Lanka is leading the ODI series right now and there are slightest of chances that it may be win by them. Their hard work in the last matches proved as they won this match with a good and big distance. The Indian team lost this match by 32 runs, such an excellent victory by the Sri Lanka. The Indian team has a bad performance on that day in all types of play batting, bowling, and fielding.
India losing matches in Sri Lanka not mean they are not ready for the Champions Trophy as they are still having enough time they are doing some experiments and things are not as they were expected because their few top players are missing from this team, and they can bring them for big event but still we are having plenty of time for this currently we are having few other things, so this can take change in coming days.

In both the games, we are having Indian bowling good and their openers are also giving their best but sadly their middle order and lower order are not able to give their best, so things are going on wrong side but as they will be having their all first eleven players they will be on another level but here we also need to praise Sri Lanka after having worst end of twenty series they are bringing back themselves into competition, and they are still playing positive game.

I think it happened because India was just not ready for the Sri Lankan bowler vandersay. I think that’s why India actually lost. Pretty sure India did not see much of him earlier. That’s why India was unable to get ready against him. But at the same time the way some of the players of India actually got out was absolutely incredible. It was looking like they were unable to pick up straight balls. Playing the wrong line got them out multiple times. By no means this was a big target for India. But credit two Sri Lankan bowling lineup. Vandersay is showing some real good talent. I think if used and nurtured properly he is going to be one of the best of Sri Lanka in the future.

I still wonder why wasn't a super over done after 1st game was tied!?

Yes, there is a debate about this in social media and no one is clear about it. ICC rules clearly say that the match that is tied, the result can be concluded through Super over but some are saying that this rule was ammended by the ICC after getting the mutual understanding from both teams.

Even if this is true, what would be the reasons for the teams not to go for a Super Over if a match is drawn Huh

It was just one slip, this doesn't mean the team is incapable of performing and remember their two best bowlers are not being part of this series as well. This is just experiment from team management or coach for approaching further.

The only bad choice was not having another opener the reason is internal politics if I am not wrong and they just took the match for granted. I bet the next match team India will bulldoze SL for sure.

There is no doubt with this win now Sri Lankan confidence is at the top, and they will try their best for having win in last ODI and series as well because this is going to be good for their cricket which is suffering badly in last few years due to lack of quality and good performance.

Jeffrey Vandersay and Charith Asalanka led the Sri Lanka team to win this match. After that, I remembered Muhammad Siraj's spell in 2023, as he picked up six wickets of Sri Lankan's players in the final match of the Asia Cup and gave them just 33 runs in some overs that he did in that match, but yesterday the Sri Lanka team took their revenge in the same format and the same style.



Jeffrey Vandersay picked up six wickets and gave 33 scores as Siraj did in the 2023 Asia Cup. Revenge has been taken by the Sri Lanka team, but wait I suddenly remember the revenge has been taken at the same ground too.  Cool

Even so, Rohit Sharma managed to get off to a great start in both the matches. Despite getting a big collection from the opening pair, India failed to win. In both the matches, we saw poor performances from experienced players in the Indian middle order. Apart from Rohit Sharma, Gill and Axar Patel, no other batsman can bat well in this match. Despite having so many experienced batsmen in the squad, India's innings stopped at 208 runs. The Indian team was defeated by a margin of 32 runs.

Once again only Rohit Sharma was there who even hit more than 50 scores, he played well like the T20 format for the team as captain but the team does not played well.

Srilanka's comeback was surprising. When this series was just started so I was expecting that Srilanka will not be able to win any match because they lost the T20I series with 3-0. But they didn't give up and they make an excellent comeback in the ODI series first match was tied but in the second match Srilanka played really well and won the match.
To be honest I was shocked too because Indian team strength are at high level and they way they performed in t20 series give us indication of how well and strong team are they compared to thier opponent but as soon as format and some player got changed their entire team stability got lost especially thier main player Kohli failed to add some decent contribution and that's things really benefits SiriLankan team and as a result out of no where they got continueous wicket and drawn the match which was really unexpected but I taught they will recoved it in second match but surprisingly here they continue his previous mistakes and this time lose the match. For me the responsible for that defeat is their middle order because they just required a partnership and all mounting pressure will be gone but instead of partnership they lose his wicket and allow opponent to execute as much as high possible pressure on them which results in thier loss

I would say the main reason for India's defeat was the poor bowling of their bowlers. India would not have been defeated if the bowlers had done well. Sri Lanka set a target of 231 runs in the first match and the team set a target of 241 runs in the second match. A target of 241 runs is not a small target on this pitch. Moreover, it was very difficult for India to collect 240+ in the second innings on this Colombo pitch.

Even so, Rohit Sharma managed to get off to a great start in both the matches. Despite getting a big collection from the opening pair, India failed to win. In both the matches, we saw poor performances from experienced players in the Indian middle order. Apart from Rohit Sharma, Gill and Axar Patel, no other batsman can bat well in this match. Despite having so many experienced batsmen in the squad, India's innings stopped at 208 runs. The Indian team was defeated by a margin of 32 runs.

India have no chance of winning the series. India team can draw the series if they win the last match. But the last match will also be held in Colombo. Indian batsmen are not able to perform well on this pitch.
Your statement is not correct about this game because Indian bowlers done good job and restricted Sri Lanka on good score once I was having mind they will be done again on 215 to 220, but seventh wicket partnership allow Sri Lanka to have good target of 250 but still this was not hard job as we have Indian best batting line-up but sadly due to poor batting effort and impressive bowling from the veteran Jeffrey Vandersay allow Sri Lanka to have first won in last three years.

After openers, we have only Axar Patel who done good job and score 44 with all other eight batsmen completely fail to give any stand which is surely now matter of concern for them because things are not favourable in ODI with having second failure in this series against Sri Lanka.

There is no doubt with this win now Sri Lankan confidence is at the top, and they will try their best for having win in last ODI and series as well because this is going to be good for their cricket which is suffering badly in last few years due to lack of quality and good performance.

In the second ODI match, Sri Lanka gave their befitting reply and turned around, although Sri Lanka team did not win in the T20I match, so the Sri Lankan team players are definitely more likely to dethrone the India team in this ODI match. This is the only chance as the first ODI match was a draw and Sri Lanka won the second ODI match.

In the first power play, the opening batsmen of the Indian team performed well, but the later players could not support it, this is the failure of the Indian team. 
Charith Asalanka earned a wide reputation by picking up three wickets each in the first match and the second match.

We saw some poor Indian teams batting last night as they could not even touch 210, what a bad performance, once again.
Can you even imagine this was the team that was unbeaten in the whole ODI World Cup, but also at that time it was too amazing team as everyone was in the form.
Hardik Pandya and some others were also part of that team but now they have to focus on their backup because last time the Indian team also lost the World Cup because they didn’t have a back up and when in the Semi-Final, Hardik Pandya was injured then it was not great for them and they lost against Australia.

Yes there is no doubt that most people were in favor of India victory.  But no one knew the result and if it was their target it was not that difficult for India.  India is perform well but their batsmen are not perform as well as they have been and it is because of the pressure from the Sri Lanka bowlers.  And if you see the India batsmen got a target of 240 and their batsmen will be all out in 43 overs.  And because of that their batsmen are restless and under pressure in ODI.  If they don't pay attention to it, they can lose the series.  And speaking of Sri Lanka struggle, it is their bowlers who have improved themselves and if their batsmen also play smartly, they could have given a target of over 300.  But their bowler took courage and won the match.  Congratulations to Sri Lanka for this win.  And India batsmen should try not to put pressure on themselves.

There is no such thing in cricket you always win or else there isn't any fun left.

SL batted really well too and 240+ is just above par score on this pitch mean their batters did everything possible to get over the line and then let their bowlers to take over from their.

India didn't read the pitches well that's why too many LBW.

In the next match I wanted them to go with one man seam attack and can bring in Riyan parag who can spin as well so their batting depth can extend upto no 9.

In the second ODI match most people bet on India to win but most people lost bets on this match. India played well against Sri Lanka in T20 but their performance in ODI matches is not looking good. But we can see that the performance of the Sri Lankan team has improved a lot and they are fighting this brilliantly against India in every match. Moreover, the great win they got, they will definitely try hard to win the next match and they have a chance to win the series. Sri Lankan team will play maximum strength to win the next match they will plan to beat India, if they win the next match then definitely win the series.

Change of game of Sri Lankan team It really made the audience very happy with their bowling performance in ODI matches which was excellent. Sri Lanka beat India in the second ODI and lead the series. India lost all their wickets to meet the target of 240 runs, and Sri Lanka won by 32 runs. However, although every batsman of the Indian team could not bat well, the team lost very quickly due to the fall of their wickets. The Sri Lankan team's bowling performance was outstanding Jeffrey Vandersay he got 6 wickets, Charith Asalanka he got 3 wickets, both of them dominated the game for Sri Lanka. But Indian batsmen only Rohit Sharma and Axar Patel batted a bit better, all the other batsmen could score more runs.
Yes, Sri Lanka impressive comeback in the ODI Series and won the second match. in the first match they tied the match that was India winning. in first match India needed only one run in the last three overs and Sri Lanka spin bowler picked two consecutive wickets to tie the first match and won the second match outstanding and won the series. In my opinion one of the reasons for winning is that Sri Lanka Spin bowling attack is very strong and especially in ODI cricket Sri lanka spin bowling attack is best. if we look at this match nine wickets were taken by the spinner. I think Sri India also lost the third ODI match if Sri Lanka scored a huge target of 250 plus.
Sri Lanka have played a very good match with scored a lot of runs with winning this match and first match was tied. They have also made the fans very happy. Sri Lanka has improved their team a lot and shown great progress after losing T20 tournament .India team played very good matches in previous with winning all T20 games and made a good progress but this time they did not play good and made their fans upset with me.sri Lanka won this match by 32 runs. The  2nd match between India and Sri Lanka was held at R Premadas stadium. Sri Lanka won the toss and choosing batting first. Sri Lanka total set a record for 240 and won the match. India team chased total runs for 208 and lost the match. I hope India they will play better in the next match. The best batting performance in the Avishka Fernando Scored 40 runs and 62 balls hitting 5 fours and 0 sixs.
