Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 2nd ODI match is going to start today and today's match is expected to be really interesting. We saw the first match only to have the game stopped due to rain and then not restarted, and the result not given. But if Sri Lanka can improve their batting performance and bowling performance a little bit better today than the first day then maybe Zimbabwe will put up enough fight to win the match. As both the teams will try to play well to win the second match, if today's match is also rained out like the first match, it could be very bad for both the teams. However if the weather is good today then I think Sri Lanka have more chances to win against Zimbabwe, why Sri Lanka is expected to win as it is a home game.
I would say Zimbabwe were quite lucky in the first match. Hence the match was abandoned due to rain. If not, the chances of Zimbabwe losing the match were high. Batting with a target of 274 runs, Zimbabwe lost two important batsmen to collect only 5 runs.
Sri Lanka is a much stronger team than Zimbabwe. However, Zimbabwe's performance has been erratic. Their entire performance depends on certain players. Although the performance of Zimbabwe's bowlers is quite good, the performance of their batsmen is poor. If the Zimbabwean batsmen perform well in today's match, they have a chance to win against Sri Lanka. Otherwise Sri Lanka will have a very easy win.
You are right, if it wasn't for the rain I think Sri Lanka would have won the first match because Zimbabwe were under pressure after losing two wickets early on. Sri Lanka is definitely a stronger team than Zimbabwe. Both batting and bowling are much better than Zimbabwe in Sri Lanka. The match will be at Sri Lanka's home ground and surely Sri Lanka will perform well. Today I think Sri Lanka's chances of winning are very high. Sri Lanka is a much stronger team than Zimbabwe. However, Zimbabwe's performance has been erratic. Their entire performance depends on certain players. Although the performance of Zimbabwe's bowlers is quite good, the performance of their batsmen is poor. If the Zimbabwean batsmen perform well in today's match, they have a chance to win against Sri Lanka. Otherwise Sri Lanka will have a very easy win.
Zimbabwe vs Srilanka
You are right Sri Lanka is much stronger as compare to the Zimbabwe team and we have seen in the first match although the match was finished with out any result. We can see Zimbabwe lost 2 wickets on 12 runs. And SriLanka set a good target. So I think in today match the SriLankan will win easily. By the way there is no competition between these two teams. And you are right if SriLankan will set 250+ runs target so this will be really difficult to chase by Zimbabwe team.

Zimbabwe vs Srilanka
Today is the second ODI match. As we know that in the first match the match was abounded due to rain and finish without any results. But in that match the Srilanka team was looking more strong they set a good target. And Zimbabwe made 12 runs with 2 wickets lost when the rain started. Means they are weak as compare to Srilanka team. So I think Srilanka will win today match. If Srilanka will take first turn and set a target of 250+ runs so this will be a good score which will be difficult to chase by Zimbabwe team. So let's see who will win today match.

I think earlier in cricket it was seen that weak teams won't win easily against any strong team but now if you look there are good teams they lose a match to a very weak team in a series. And according to the performance of that match we cannot guess which team is better or which team is weaker.
Big example to justify whatever you stated is Afghanistan. They ended up defeating big teams like England and Pakistan in the ODI World Cup and almost brought down the winner of the tournament(Australia).This sort of volatility is what makes the sport of cricket way more interesting and entertaining.
The India U19 vs South Africa U19 match in the Tri-Nation Under-19s Tournament. The match was challenging for both squads, with India U19 facing a tough target of 256 set by South Africa U19. Despite a shaky start in their batting inning, India U19 managed to secure a victory with just 8 deliveries remaining. Uday Saharan played a crucial role by scoring a century with 112 runs, while Priyanshu Moliya contributed with 76 runs, and Musheer Khan scored 41 runs. The overall performance of these players made the match entertaining and challenging.
In today's match between India U19 and South Africa U19, India U19 beat South Africa U19 by 6 wickets to top the points table. India finished the match at the top of the points table with eight points from a total of four matches. Now if a match is held between South Africa U19 and Afghanistan U19, if Afghanistan wins one of the 19 teams then India U19 will play in the final match. But it is clear that India U19 will be the unbeaten champions and Afghanistan U19 are likely to be the runners-up.
The match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe has been postponed due to rain. Although the Sri Lankan team had a fall of wickets in the first innings, the Zimbabwean team managed to collect only 12 runs in the first innings with the fall of 2 wickets in 4 overs. Zimbabwe's poor performance in the first ODI, even if the match had followed the DLS system, Sri Lanka would have won. The run rate of the Sri Lankan team was more so the Sri Lankan team would have been ahead in any direction.
The match didn't postponed the match is finished with no results. And this match will not be played again. They will continue the series with second match. And everyone know that Srilanka is much stronger than Zimbabwe. By the way this is only practice matches otherwise I thinking these two teams have no competition. I am little bit sure that Srilanka will with the both series.Srilanka is unpredictable team like Pakistan. Sometimes you will think that they will beat top team like India and Australia but sometimes you will be doubtful weather they win against Netherland. Srilanka World cup performance was so bad. Low rank team than SL like Afghanistan and Bangladesh defeated SL in World cup. Now once again yesterday match proved that SL retrained their form but it is not over yet and they have to show performance like yesterday through out the series.
India U19 Team vs South Africa U19 Team India U19 team performed really admirably in today's game. India U19 team performed well against Afghanistan U19 team India U19 team performed well against South Africa U19 team. India U19 team has retained the top spot in the points table due to their best performance. The way the India U19 team is performing, it seems that they will win the final match. Great win against South Africa U19 team. Congratulations to the India U19 team.
India U-19 has won 4 out of 4 matches played so far and almost all of them with huge margins. The only question is about who will be the other team in the final of the tri-series. Tomorrow we have a match between Afghanistan and South Africa. Afghanistan can qualify for the final even if they lose tomorrow's match against South Africa. But the margin of defeat should not be too large. Anyway, the focus is on U-19 world cup, which is about to start in less than two weeks from now. As per the current form, India looks like the overwhelming favorites to win trophy.
As I have said earlier, South Africa or Afghanistan won't be a problem for the Indian u-19 team. They are too good for them. I think they have done enough practice by playing this match and gained the confidence that they had lost after getting eliminated in the Semi Finals of the U-19 Asia Cup.
In the group of India in the U-19 World Cup, they will have to face their old foes Bangladesh U-19 who knocked them out of the the Semi finals of the U-19 Asia cup. But even if they lose the match against them, they can make their way out of the group because the other two teams are Ireland and USA whom I believe India will beat very easily and dominantly.

India U19 vs South Africa U19
One more match was finished yesterday of Tri-Nation Under-19s Tournament in South Africa competition and this match was played in between India U19 sqaud against South Africa U19 sqaud. This match was very entertaining and challenging for both squads especially for India U19 sqaud because at end of their batting inning just 8 deliveries remaining when they emerged victory from South Africa squad. The defending target of South Africa squad was tough 256 scored collected by South Africa squad. In the beginning of India U19 batting inning was very bad, Rudra Patel collected only 1 scores and other one Innesh Mahajan wiped out at 0 score but next these batters Musheer Khan, Uday Saharan and Priyanshu Moliya performance was very impressive. Uday Saharan batter completed full century and made 112 scores when he got out. Priyanshu Moliya collected 76 scores and Musheer Khan batter also near mid century and he collected 41 scores.

Now once again yesterday match proved that SL retrained their form but it is not over yet and they have to show performance like yesterday through out the series.
The performance of the Zimbabwean team deteriorated as two wickets fell to collect 12 runs. Zimbabwe would have been all out if the match had not been stopped due to normal rain. Sri Lanka would never have been able to meet the 2073-run target given, even with the DLS system, Zimbabwe would have been far behind. Dilshan madushanka has done well for Sri Lanka in terms of bowling as he picked up two wickets in the number three over. So in this case I understand that the performance of the Zimbabwe team is very bad.
Yesterday was the first ODI match of Zimbabwe & Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka played well but not too, they lost 9 wickets to Zimbabwe, and at this time, Sri Lanka cricket is over, and this same situation went to Pakistan in 2015, and 2016, where Pakistan team can't perform, Pakistan got 9th ranking in ICC rankings and no one Pakistan player was in the top 10 rankings and before so years Pakistan won T20 World Cup on 2009 by losing Sri Lanka, and on that time, Sri Lankan team was good and we had a fear with them.
Pakistan team can't perform in matches even Pakistan's old coach Waqar Younas said that this team time was over but then Babar Azam came and he debuted against Zimbabwe and he made a century in his debut match so Pakistan's hopes gained again and Pakistan won the champion trophy but Sri Lanka didn't have any good player so I think that can't come back.

In Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 1st ODI match Sri Lanka team scored 273 runs in 50 overs. Now Zimbabwe team came to bat. Zimbabwe scored 12 runs by losing 2 wickets in 4 overs. But the match was stopped due to rain. Zimbabwe team lost two wickets now. Under a lot of pressure, I don't think the Zimbabwe team will do well in today's match.
The first ODI match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe has been suspended due to rain. However, Sri Lanka batted first in this match and collected 273 runs for nine wickets in the allotted 50 overs.Charith Asalanka scored the highest 101 runs for the Sri Lankan team. Batting first with a target of 274, Zimbabwe fell into a batting disaster as they had already lost two wickets for 12 runs in four overs.As this match is delayed due to rain, Zimbabwe will be targeted on the DLS method if the match starts. If Zimbabwe bats well they may be able to win in DLS method.
The performance of the Zimbabwean team deteriorated as two wickets fell to collect 12 runs. Zimbabwe would have been all out if the match had not been stopped due to normal rain. Sri Lanka would never have been able to meet the 2073-run target given, even with the DLS system, Zimbabwe would have been far behind. Dilshan madushanka has done well for Sri Lanka in terms of bowling as he picked up two wickets in the number three over. So in this case I understand that the performance of the Zimbabwe team is very bad.
In today's match, the Sri Lankan team went into bat in the first innings and finished the game in 50 overs, losing nine wickets and collecting 273 runs. In the first innings of today's first match of the ODI series, Sri Lanka batsmen managed to perform well in the fast order and middle order batting, but the last order batting performance was not so good. If the last order batting performance could have done a bit better then the Sri Lankan team could have scored 300+. Still I think the Sri Lankan team players have managed to muster a good enough ram. Now in the second innings game if the Sri Lankan team can strengthen the bowling lineup. Then Sri Lanka will have a chance to win this match against Zimbabwe.
In the first innings, the Sri Lankan team played an average inning, and in the start, almost Sri Lankan team almost lost the match, but in the second innings, they proved that we were not a good team but we couldn't also be lost by Zimbabwe.
At this time, Zimbabwe had a loss of 2 wickets in the score of 10, and now, they can only make 200 runs or less than 200 because Sri Lankan bowlers made pressure on them and if they maintain this pressure so maybe they cannot be complete even 160 scores so they should maintain this to make a good record at least against Zimbabwe.
The match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe has been postponed due to rain. Although the Sri Lankan team had a fall of wickets in the first innings, the Zimbabwean team managed to collect only 12 runs in the first innings with the fall of 2 wickets in 4 overs. Zimbabwe's poor performance in the first ODI, even if the match had followed the DLS system, Sri Lanka would have won. The run rate of the Sri Lankan team was more so the Sri Lankan team would have been ahead in any direction.
Sri Lanka did a decent job with the bat. They managed to get to 273/9, thanks to the century from Charith Asalanka. Zimbabwe bowling attack, apart from Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava doesn't have much international experience. The absence of Brad Evans is hurting them. Faraz Akram made his debut yesterday for Zimbabwe and it was a rare occasion when two Pakistani-born players were representing Zimbabweans (the other one being Sikandar Raza). Maybe this is the way to go for Zimbabwe. If the natives are not interested in cricket, then they should attract the Asian players.
