Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat in today's match. At the end of 34 overs, the team managed to collect 191 runs after losing 4 wickets. Afghanistan will not win this match if they fail to provide a target of more than 300. Sri Lankan batsmen are in very good form now.
Sri lank won the match by 7 wickets, very good victory for Sri Lanka. Afghanistan team give the target of 266 and Sri Lanka complete the run target in just 35 overs ,this match was very fasted.
Sri Lanka won this match very quickly and proved that they are a strong team. Afghanistan are in dire need of batting experience right now as their best men are not performing well in the batting.

talk about the player who was born in another country and played for another country,

Another player is Imad Wasim was born in England but played cricket for Pakistan, when his age was nearly 6 he moved to Pakistan and then he decided to become a cricketer for Pakistan. He played for Pakistan Under 19 and many other teams in Pakistan leagues.

Now, come to Sikandar Raza, he is a player of Zimbabwe but he was also born in Pakistan. He tried to play at Pakistan but he didn't get a chance so he moved to Zimbabwe to play Cricket and there he was selected but now his age is 37 and after 2 or three years he will also be retired from cricket, and the Pakistan team also can't pick them because, in Pakistan, the talent come to again and again so by chance PCB can't balance to gave chance to all the peoples only luckiest people chose to play.

Sri Lanka absolutely destroyed Afghanistan in the ODI series and I feel that senior players like Rashid, Mujeeb etc not being available helped them quite a bit since we all know what they are capable of.

Nissanka was the highlight of this series with a double century and a century. Good to see Wellalage performing well too.

In today's match of Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan team, Sri Lanka team seems to win the match very easily. Afghanistan team came to the field to bat and batting very badly. Today Afghanistan team is all out. Sri Lanka team scored 229 runs in 29.2 overs. Sri Lanka to win this match.  Lanka team needs 37 runs.
Afghanistan did not perform badly in today's match, but setting a target of 267 runs does not indicate any bad performance. However, Sri Lanka is as strong as ever at the Sri Lankan venue, so no matter how well Afghanistan performs, they will not be able to win against Sri Lanka at the Sri Lankan venue for now. Although he lost three wickets to Sri Lanka in the end, Sri Lanka scored enough runs to win the match. Only 12 more runs needed to secure victory but no matter how hard Afghanistan try Sri Lanka will win this match 100%.

Though not relevant to this match but let me talk about the player who was born in another country and played for another country, that is Imran Tahir.

They is one of the best spinners and now his age is 44 but still, he performed like 30. To join cricket he lost many years because when his age was 30 then he played his first international match in South Africa. He was born in Pakistan, Lahore, and he played also cricket in Pakistan Under 19, Pakistan A, and from Pakistan playing 11 but never played in the original team of Pakistan then he decided to go to England and in England didn't give him a chance to play at least on England A then after some years to spend here he went to South Africa and by chance South Africa picked him and what a play he did so he becomes a permanent player of South Africa but sadly his debut match played on his 30th age and cricket one can play by under 35 to 40 and now his time is over.

Sri Lanka has been outstanding in the first two ODIs, while Afghanistan struggled. The series is already won by Sri Lanka, but Afghanistan should aim to end the three-match ODI series with a win.
Afghanistan might feel relieved that Hasaranga won't play in today's match, but they need to capitalize on their chances. However, with six wickets down, it's going to be tough for them to reach 300 runs at this stage.

Afghanistan team has been able to provide the target of 267 runs. And Afghanistan will concede a humiliating defeat in today's match as well. Afghanistan's bowlers are not in good form. Also the pitch is batting friendly. Sri Lanka's two openers are batting responsibly.

Sri Lanka just lost their first wicket. At the end of 23 overs, Sri Lanka collected 173 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. Fernando got out after collecting 91 runs off 66 balls. Pathum Nissanka is still at the crease after collecting 80 runs off 73 balls. Sri Lanka need only 94 runs in 27 overs. Sri Lanka will win today's match quite easily. Afghanistan's bowlers are not performing well.

3rd ODI match is ongoing between the Sri Lanka squad against the Afghanistan squad. Afghanistan's batting lineup is perfect for Rahmat Shah. His performance is pretty good. He already gets a run of 65 from 77 balls including 7 fours and 1 six. If Rahmat Shah stays field next over. But unfortunately, he was caught by IBW.

The third match was between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in progress now. The first innings had been finished and now in the second, we were excited to see the Sri Lankan team batting. This is the last ODI match, The Sri Lankans won the series but I hope that the Afghanistan team will get whitewashed against Sri Lanka in the ODI  and after this series, they will also whitewashed at the T20 series too. All the matches were won by Sri Lanka now let's see will Afghanistan also lost in today's match, their team has been all out at 266 runs. Everyone tried to play good and improve himself from previous matches but I think it's a bit of bad luck with the Afghanistan team. If any biggest players join their team so I think then also they will lose.

Although Afghanistan made 266 runs which is somewhat reasonable score but Sri Lanka is playing even better as they lose no wickets and have 117 runs on the board. They only need now 150 more runs to win and they have more than 33 wickets in hand. Seems like this will be another easy Sri Lankan win.

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan, 3rd ODI is going to start within 4 hours at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka already won previous 2 ODI matches with good performance. In 1st ODI both team played well. Pathum Nissanka did double century from Sri Lanka and Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai did their century from Afghanistan. Was Too much interesting. In 2nd ODI, Sri Lanka again Crossed more than 300 runs but Afghanistan performance wasn't good enough as they did only 153 runs. Today we are going to see 3rd ODI between them. It is expected from Sri Lanka, they could run well again. But can't say anything about Afghanistan. I think they would collected higher amount of runs in this match cause they already showed their batting ability in 1st ODI. This match will be too much interesting
Yeh match has been start and Afghanistan took bat first and compared to his previous matches defeat everyone expect another big defeat for Afghanistan against sirilankan team but I think may be we will have seen a different results as today scenario has been changed, if we have a look at previous matches where both of time Afghanistan lose while chasing and may be it's difficult on this pitches to chased but today Afghanistan will defend thier target so due to that reason I will go in favour of Afghanistan because I believe they have quality pacer and spinner who can damage them and hold them below required target. But now things will be totally defend on thier batters if they able to scored 300+ then I am 100% sure that results will be different. I know this victory will not be much worthy for them as they already lose thier series but will safe from white wash series.
So far, Afghanistan's batsmen have scored 177 runs in 31 overs for the loss of 4 wickets.  They are working hard and struggling enough and keep trying to win the match.I am also very confident that it will give a target of 300.  If it can't give then target above 280 will give.  Because even 150 runs off 114 balls, 320 becomes a target for them.Today, Afghanistan's batting is impressing everyone.  And playing matches with interest.  And performing well.Sri Lankan bowlers are not performing well today.  If they control the Afghanistan batsmen, the complexion of the match will change and Afghanistan might lose the match.The match is still going on.  Let's see how many targets the Afghanistan batsmen give and whether the Sri Lankan batsmen can achieve it or not.

In the third ODI match of Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan, Afghanistan scored 266 runs by batting all out in the first innings. Although Afghanistan did not score much runs in today's match they scored much less than in the previous matches they played. To win today's match, Afghanistan will need to put up a good bowling performance in the second innings and put Sri Lanka under pressure. If the Afghanistan team cannot stop the Sri Lankan team in today's match, then the Afghans must lose the match. And we have seen two matches won brilliantly by Srilanka team if they win today's match then surely Afghanistan team will be whitewashed. However, the batting performance of Afghanistan team's batsmen Rahmat Shah and Azmatullah Omarzai was really impressive, if a few more players could have performed well, more runs could have been scored. But if the Sri Lankan team bats well in today's match then it will surely achieve brilliantly with Afghanistan and it is difficult to say who will win today's match.

Third ODI match which is ongoing among Sri Lanka squad against Afghanistan squad and toss already done between both squads and one squad has come to crease for first batting inning and that squad is Afghanistan squad. In this competition, Afghanistan squad already lost two previous matches from Sri Lanka squad very badly but we don't underestimate the performance of Afghanistan sqaud and this time, their batting performance was continuing very good and collected such a reliable scores. Half overs are finished on crease and Afghanistan squad collected 139 scores with lost of 3 batter wickets which was Rahmanullah Gurbaz , Ibrahim Zadran and Hashmatullah Shahidi. In these batters, Hashmatullah Shahidi captain of squad was displayed very disappointing inning and collected only 5 scores. Both Rahmat Shah and Azmatullah Omarzai batters is playing their inning one crease and Rahmat Shah performance is quite impressive let's see how much Afghanistan squad will collect scores at end.

We have seen poor bowling by Afghanistan bowlers in the first two matches. And because of bad bowling Afghanistan team lost. Sri Lanka set a target of 382 runs in the first match. Afghanistan managed to collect up to 339 runs. In the second match, Sri Lanka set a target of 309 runs, but Afghanistan lost the match by 155 runs. We haven't seen a better performance than Afghanistan in two matches.

Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat in today's match. At the end of 34 overs, the team managed to collect 191 runs after losing 4 wickets. Afghanistan will not win this match if they fail to provide a target of more than 300. Sri Lankan batsmen are in very good form now.

It's a bit harsh comparing the India u-19 team with the Senior Indian team.

Indian u-19 team's head to head record against Australia in the WC is very good and they hardly fumble against them in the finals, previous 2 u-19 WC Ind vs Aus finals went India's way but it doesn't happen every time so props to the Australian team. They were good with the ball and richly deserved the trophy.

Frankly, I never expected that the U19 team would get choked in the finals against Australia. If I compare how they came back against the South African bowling attack with the Australian bowling attack it shows a lack of seriousness and lack of strategy. They all got out playing defensive and none of them thought they were playing the finals, looks more like the team got overconfident after winning the semis. There are a few good batters and bowlers who would surely make it to the main team in the future. With the current waiting period of getting selected and losing the finals, these guys might end up in the team when they are near their 30s or end up like Shaw.
For me it's actually the opposite.

I was happy and a little surprised when this current lot won against South Africa in the semis and reached the finals. Before the tournament, almost everyone ruled out the semis scenario because everyone thought that this batch was not as talented as previous ones and no one was hoping much from them. Yes, they are good but there was not any exceptional talent to look out for so beating a much stronger and talented team like SA and reaching the final is considered an achievement from management. They would've liked to win the finals but it's not a total loss considering the complete picture.

The massive margin of victory by the Australians is what irritates me.
True and i completely agree.

The massive margin of victory by the Australians is what irritates me. Just 4 Indian batsmen made double digit scores and none of them managed a half century. The pace from Callum Vidler and Tom Straker was too hot for them to handle. Some of the Indian batsmen who made good knocks in the previous matches looked helpless against Mahli Beardman. And this time the Indians made proper preparations. First they had participated in the 2023 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup, and then before the world cup they scheduled a tri-series between the U19 sides from Afghanistan and South Africa.

The final match was actually quite predictable. In my opinion, instead of spending 6-7 hours in conducting the match, ICC should give a walkover to Australia in case their opponents in the final are India. During the last 4-5 times when this happened, Australia had won the match. And this has become some sort of a psychologic barrier for the Indians. If they learn that Australia are their opponents in the final, then automatically they become demoralized. And this is applicable for both the senior side and the age group teams.
