Sri Lanka batted well initially, but did not finish well. Sri Lanka batting first looked like Sri Lanka would win, but in the end Sri Lanka lost due to poor batting. If Dunith Wellalage, Dhananjaya de Silva, Asalanka bat well, Sri Lanka would have been able to target more runs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 119 runs and Rahmat Shah scored 93 runs, their brilliant performances helped the team to victory. Afghanistan (DLS method) won by 6 wickets.

I remember that until around 30 overs, they had a run-rate of close to 8 per over. At this point, the Afghan spinners (Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi) put them under pressure by taking quick wickets. And once Kusal Mendis got out, it was all over for Sri Lanka. They were 240/2 after 30 overs, and in the next 20 overs they made just 54 runs and lost 8 wickets. Can you believe this? It was one of the most remarkable comebacks by any of the bowling sides. But the Afghan pacers got lots of stick, especially Azmatullah Omarzai and Abdul Rahman.

Sri Lankan team, losing all wickets in 46.2 overs, set Afghanistan a target of 295 runs. With the Afghanistan team aiming to meet the target, the match was interrupted by rain shortly after the start of batting and the match was halted for a while. It took some time to restart the game as the pitch got wet due to rain. Now making the field playable, as per the DLS system, the game has been reduced to 42 overs and the Afghanistan team has been set a target of 257 runs.  Afghanistan has a good chance to win this match. Afghanistan batting is very good from the beginning. Afghanistan team has so far scored 152 runs in 26 overs for the loss of one wicket. If the players of the Afghanistan team strengthen their batting a little more. Afghanis will win this match against Sri Lanka very easily

The SriLankan team have to do their homework, their batsmen need to be more responsible, You can make individual records but if the teams need to win, then more batsmen need to play a more longer innings,

I am worried about the Sri Lankan team. The team qualified for the finals of the Asia Cup. But in the final against India he performed terribly. They lost all the wickets by just 50 runs. And so far this team's performance has been very poor.

Sri Lanka lost badly in the first warm up match against Bangladesh. Sri Lanka set a target of just 264 runs. And Bangladesh easily reached the victory target losing only 3 wickets.
Afghanistan won by six wickets against Sri Lanka in the warm-up match with the help of Rahmanullah Gurbaz Scored 119 and Rahmat Shah's knocks of 93(82). Sri Lanka were 2 for 239 with Kusal Mendis retiring out on 158* off just 87 balls in 29 overs against Afghanistan with a run-rate of 7+ runs per over. Sri Lanka All Out on 294 in in 47th overs. What a Comeback By Afghanistan bowlers. Rahmanullah Gurbaz retired after notching up a fantastic century 119 runs in 92 balls with 8 fours and 9 sixes. Rahmanullah Gurbaz leads Afghanistan to a fine victory over Sri Lanka.

The team could have easily given a target of more than 350 on this pitch. But the performance of their batsmen is very poor. Afghanistan won this match quite easily.

Sri Lanka will face South Africa in the first match of the World Cup. And with such bad batting, the Sri Lankan team will lose by a big margin against South Africa.

Iftikhar played very well. He was able to play big innings when the team needed it. He returned to the dressing room after collecting 83 runs off 85 balls. But we haven't seen a big innings from Shadab. Babar Azam on the other hand is playing brilliantly. He scored 83 runs off 51 balls unbeaten. This is because of Babar's disastrous innings. Pakistan team managed to collect 241 runs in 34 overs. As long as Babar Azam is at the crease, the match will be in Pakistan's control. But if Babar is out, it will be difficult for Pakistan to win.
No doubt Pakistani top order are going with one of their worst forms which is quite disappointed because entire nation expect good results from them, and they have already done unexpected performance a dozen of times in the past, but now they are totally out of form, if they make some good contribution in early stage of the game the later rest of the player will not face huge pressure and thus small performance will qualify Pakistan for semifinals.
If Baber hasn't made a decision to bat, then I am sure that Pakistan will choke and lose his most of the wickets before handsome runs. While iftimania also add a good contribution and thus due to their both partnership Pakistan able to score such Height runs but unfortunately after Baber retired hurt rest of the player hasn't controlled situation and thus lose by 14 runs

Pakistan need 37 more runs from 31 balls to win against Australia but Pakistan have already lost seven wickets. I have not seen that much of the match but I will see that Pakistan will score 37 runs in 31 balls. They came very close to winning Pakistan. Pakistani batsmen have contributed well to bring the innings to a good position. Mohammad Nawaz and Hasan Ali are on the wickets at the moment, let's see if they can eventually lead Pakistan to victory. 
Pakistan failed to chase this massive score as they lost wickets in regular intervals and Australia won this match by 14 runs. Still Pakistan scored 337 runs which was not bad at all.

Also in the post-match ceremony, Shadab Khan (who is the captain for today's match) said they did not care about the result of this match, as the result was not important at all. They were more concerned with getting to know the performance of the players so that they could enter the WC with the best Playing XI.

Also, the Australian team's thoughts were that a win is always good before going in the World Cup and they will take this win as a positive sign and hopefully continue the momentum.
As Shadab Khan already mentioned this match I am also agreed with this because this is better version of the net with having play against another team is good for the practice which is helping batsmen and bowlers to stay at better level even mostly Pakistani top order batsmen fail badly which is alarming for them, but things are going positive because in these both practice matches they achieve good results first after batting first and now after having bowling first they need to fix holes which are going to create problems for them in main round.

Australia also done good, and they give chance to all their part-timers which is good because their main bowlers also done good job and having many options like these are helpful for them in coming matches now they won their both warm-up matches and their batsmen also have good practice which will help them in coming days.

In the end, Pakistan lost the match by 14 runs.  Pakistan lost but I am satisfied with their performance in this match. The team has proved that they have the ability to bat against big target s. But pakistan's bowlers are not able to do well.  Pakistan is not doing well even with such a strong pace attack . Pakistan's pace attack is ineffective against strong teams.  Also I will say pakistan's two openers are still out of form imam ul haque and fakhar zaman are out of form.  If these two players return to form,  pakistan's batting line-up will be stronger. The overall condition of Pakistan is still unstable. It is difficult to predict whether this team will do well in the World Cup.
I agree with you that even though Pakistan lost, they showed a good performance against a strong team like Australia, although Babar Azam's retired out in the middle also factored a lot behind Australia's win. However, Pakistan batsmen today showed a very responsible batting performance, but as victory was not in their destiny, they lost at the end of the day by just 14 runs. In terms of run-scoring performance, I thought Pakistan would win today because the batting performance was good and also their country and India are located next to each other, so I thought the environment favored them.
But today I am not satisfied with the bowling performance of both the teams, although if you look at the extra runs towards the last, the Australians were able to take the wickets and put pressure on the Pakistani batsmen, and their result is win. If you look at the chart below, you can understand how craziest today's match was.

India are suffering from bad weather in their warm-up matches due to incessant rain, due to which they could not take the field in the warm-up matches.

I wished this weather in India become better in coming days and there is no rain on the match venue for the whole of this world cup.

Also i am tired to seeing these warn up matches, and eagerly waiting for the world cup to commence and we see the real action and game play.

Pakistan is really good with batting than the bowling order. Till the tail end we were able to see players scoring runs. Ifthikhar Ahmed along with Babar Azam turned the match, and it looked like both the teams were playing the match in a free manner. Australia team had used 8 bowlers and it looked like they were finding the right ones for the upcoming league matches. For Pakistan Babar Azam retired out and walked to the pavilion, if not Pakistan could've won the match. This match can't be taken into consideration to value the potential of the team.

In the other match Afghanistan played really well and in the upcoming league matches Afghanistan is going to be real gamechanger for sure. I'm much excited to watch the match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Today's win of Afghanistan against Sri Lanka is a reminder to all the teams.

Pakistan lost their third wicket before the end of 14 overs.  Abdullah shafiq also failed to play well. He managed to collect only 12 runs off 16 balls. Pakistan's top order failed today. Iftikhar and Shadab fail to play big innings, Pakistan will lose by a big margin today.
Iftikhar Ahmed is still a hope for Pakistan,  and also Babar Azam came to batting,  which is in from and scored much runs in the previous match. This could be an interesting one,  the main problem for Pakistan is their 4 wickets has been fallen. On these pitches 350 is easily chased. But I don't know what the Pakistan Team is doing,  in the previous match they didn't provide a positive cricket and also now in this match they are not showing that they are ODI no 2 Team. Although Australia is still at no 3rd.

Pakistan should change their team in the coming ODIs. This may be help them,  otherwise,  the way they are playing I didn't even think they will qualify for the other round in the World Cup. 
Now Pakistan have 107 having a 4 wicket loss in 20 overs. Will they chase?
This match is going to be very challenging for both teams Pakistan and Australia. Both team have a very strong in cricket but at start of match Pakistan performance was not good and look like they will lose this match. Now match at full of challenging for both team and they have equal PERC to win this match. Babar Azam at pitch of batting and he is scoring 83 runs in  51 balls and Pakistan team also lost 5 batsman. At this moment, Pakistan team need 111 runs in 96 balls if they secure their wickets then they easily win this match from Australia. M.Labuschagbe took down 2 wickets of Pakistan batsman and he bowled 7 overs. Let's see at the end of match who will win this match warm up match.
The patience of Pakistani players is very low as I can see the wickets starting to fall from the beginning of the game until quite some time has passed. Imam UL haq, Shafique, Shadab khan these three batsmen went out of the field for few runs, Pakistan team has to face big loss. Because if these three batsmen could have advanced some runs then surely it would have been easier for the next players to win. Although the win is in Pakistan's control at the current position, but with Babar Azam out of the field, the Pakistan team must be under pressure.

In the end, Pakistan lost the match by 14 runs.  Pakistan lost but I am satisfied with their performance in this match. The team has proved that they have the ability to bat against big target s. But pakistan's bowlers are not able to do well.  Pakistan is not doing well even with such a strong pace attack .

Afghanistan won this match, giving an upset on the warm up world cup cricket match. Srilankan captain Kusal Mendis would not be happy seeing this result. He himself scored 158 runs and would have wanted his team to play more competitive cricket.

The major contributor to the Afghanistan win was the bowling from Mohammad Nabi who took 4 wickets,

The SriLankan team have to do their homework, their batsmen need to be more responsible, You can make individual records but if the teams need to win, then more batsmen need to play a more longer innings,

We need a topic here for the positive talk and after some search and work I am able to bring one topic for the all cricketing community, hopefully they will give their view about this with their available knowledge of cricket.

West Indies won 2 world cups and then lost third final and after this we have England which lost two finals first against Australia and then against Pakistan after that we have Sri Lanka which lost against Australia and then India.

Now we have New Zealand which is already on two finals losing streak first against Australia and then England now give your opinion can they make third, or now we will have new teams into final lets talk about this for some time here on this thread.

In the Pakistan vs Australia team match, Australia team came to bat first. They gave a target of 351 runs in 50 overs. Australia team batsman performance was very good. Now Pakistan team came to bat. They scored 331 runs in 47 overs. So far 8 wickets.  Pakistan team batsmen are under a lot of pressure after losing. Pakistan team need 21 runs from 18 balls to win this match. The game is very close between two teams. Still don't understand which team will win this match.
Really an amazing match of Cricket played by both teams Pakistan and Australia. The performance of Iftikhar played 83 runs inning and babar Azam was outclass today score 90 runs but Australia won 14 runs a great comeback. Pakistan just fall short by 14 runs in their second warm-up match score 337 runs all out in 47.4 overs. Iftikhar, Babar and Nawaz scored amazing half-centuries in the chase target of 352 runs. Pakistan batted well but the point of concern is our Bowling unit Haris Rouf pick only 1 wickets by giving 97 runs in 9overs, and specialy spin department Pakistan have to do well in upcoming world match otherwise situation becomes tough for Pakistan

It is quite irritating to watch all these matches getting washed out as a result of rain. I was watching live on Hotstar, and a lot of fans were attending these matches. They were quite disappointed with the outcome. Anyway, these were just warmup matches. It will be much more disappointing, in case the group stage matches get washed out.

Pakistan is being captained by Shadab Khan, which according to me is an interesting approach. Rizwan is not playing today and he has been replaced by Abdullah Shafique. I wonder whether he has the potential to bat better than Rizwan, the pressure would be on Babar and Iftikar today to chase the target.
Pakistani team make a several Changes in second warm-up match against Australia to observe how player behave and play in absence of their main player like baber and Rizwan who's really done a huge performance in his previous match. no doubt paksitan will be in trouble but they have to be ready for any kind of challenges.
If we have a look on score board then we will find out that paksitan bowler really done a good job in early over especially spinners where they almost took Australian entire wickets before 250 but later due to high leakage of runs from especially fast bowler and some sensible innings of Maxwell and green really put Australia on track and thus they scored unexpected 340+ runs despite the really choked in early stage of the match. Hope it will be interesting how they chasedown the required target in absence of thier main players

What can I say about the Pakistan performance today? This had been an incredible chase and I never expected this type of run chase by the Pakistan team.

Muhammad Rizwan replacement Abdullah Shafique did not able to perform well, but Babar Azam took all the responsbiliy and scored 90 runs. Another good batting performance by Iftikhar Ahmed who scored 80 runs helped Pakistan to be in a position where they can win this one.

Mohammad Nawaz  needs some support from the bowlers who are batting for Pakistan and they can win this match. He is making a good finish for this warm up match.
Pakistan need 37 more runs from 31 balls to win against Australia but Pakistan have already lost seven wickets. I have not seen that much of the match but I will see that Pakistan will score 37 runs in 31 balls. They came very close to winning Pakistan. Pakistani batsmen have contributed well to bring the innings to a good position. Mohammad Nawaz and Hasan Ali are on the wickets at the moment, let's see if they can eventually lead Pakistan to victory. 

Another match of the day was stopped due to rain for some time and finally due to rain the 50 over match was played in 42 overs for Afghanistan the target is 257 runs at the moment. The Sri Lankan bowlers have managed to fall just one wicket so far in the Afghanistan camp. It is only a matter of time for Afghanistan to win this match.

The March between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan has been stopped due to rain. There are 118 runs scored by the team of Afghanistan and 1 player is out in the over of 20.5. The match between Pakistan and Australia is going very well, the scores obtained by Australia team is very higher but the Pakistan team is performing very good.

The batting of Ifthikhar was good and out on the score of 83 runs. Babar azam make the run of 90 and then left the batting. There is a great chance for the team of Pakistan to win this today's match. 60 runs are remaining in the ball of 54 for the team of Pakistan.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
One thing I feel very bad about is that India has announced two abandonment of the two warm-up matches that were supposed to take place. Whereas other teams' games started in rain and then restarted when the rain cleared, but it has been the complete opposite for India. Before the start of India's match, the weather turned bad, and it rained due to which the match was abandoned before the toss. Hearing this, it seems ridiculous that India has not played a single match against their opponents in the warm-up matches so far. Where every one of the nine teams in the World Cup has participated in the warm-up matches, but India has not played a single warm-up match so far. As funny as it sounds, it is very unfortunate for India that matches are being abandoned without a toss due to bad weather. India's previous match against England was not played, and today's match against the Netherlands was similarly declared abandoned. India are suffering from bad weather in their warm-up matches due to incessant rain, due to which they could not take the field in the warm-up matches.
