The third and final ODI between New Zealand and Sri Lanka has been called off due to rain. Been waiting for few hours for this match to start but it is raining heavily in this region due to which the match has not started yet.  

Sri Lanka have nothing to lose today as they have won against New Zealand in the first two matches while the third ODI is now only a whitewash against New Zealand. New Zealand have been batting well till the rain came and their batting looks like they want to win this match by any means but nature may be against them even if they want to win. There is still time to finish this match in short overs but if the game is not played in a few more hours then this match may be officially abandoned.
As per the latest update from the ground, the rain hasn't stopped. The ground staff are waiting to clear the ground and support resuming the match. Today's like bad luck for New Zealand because they've got a good start and scored 121/1 with W. Young: 56* (68) and H. Nicholls: 46* (51) on the ground. For now, New Zealand is on the winning side, and there is more chance of the match getting abandoned. Even if the match resumes, the pitch conditions might vary, which too can affect the match result.

Sri Lanka and New Zealand will face each other in the last ODI of the series in a while. Sri Lanka has won the first two matches of the 3-match series. Sri Lankan players have performed well in both matches. On the other hand, New Zealand players are currently off form. In the two matches, I do not see New Zealand batsmen batting better than New Zealand batsmen.

New Zealand will definitely try their best to win the last match. New Zealand will definitely not want to lose in all the matches of the 3-match series. New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat in today's match. However, I do not know whether the decision to bat on the Pallekele pitch was right. Out of the 46 matches played on this pitch, only 17 matches have been won by the team batting first. So, if New Zealand won the toss and decided to field, then perhaps New Zealand had a better chance of doing well. However, since the batting of New Zealand batsmen is very irregular, perhaps that is why the New Zealand captain decided to bat first.
Match had been already started now. Sri Lanka is ahead 2-0 in the series. Their players have done well but New Zealand is struggling. New Zealand won toss and chose to bat, but this might not help them win. Most teams that bat first at Pallekele do not win. It might have been better to field first. Well now they have started their turn and they are going little better and they have made 112 runs in 21 overs and lost only one wicket. But Srilanka has a legend we know who is he.? If he will play well again so New Zealand can lose this match too. So let's wait and see what they both will do?

I don't know why New Zealand decided to bat first. In the second match, New Zealand batted first on this pitch. New Zealand lost all their wickets and managed to score 209 runs. New Zealand batsmen failed to play well. Mark Chapman scored 76 runs and Mitchell Hay scored 49 runs. Apart from that, no other batsman from New Zealand was able to bat well. New Zealand was given a small target of 210 runs. In today's match, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat. If New Zealand gives a target of less than 260 runs, they will lose today too.

New Zealand managed to score 11 runs in 2 overs. The pitch is not batting friendly. However, even then, if they give a target of less than 260 runs against Sri Lanka on this pitch, it will not be possible for New Zealand to win. Because Sri Lanka's batsmen are in pretty good form now.

In the third ODI match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka today, I think that the New Zealand team will try to play with their best performance. But we have not seen the performance of the New Zealand team in the last matches, but the performance of the Sri Lanka team has improved a lot. The Sri Lanka team has achieved great victories in the two matches of the series and Sri Lanka has already become the champion of the ODI series, so they will not play so important in today's match. However, the New Zealand team will try to play seriously in today's match so that they do not have to be whitewashed in the ODI match, but their victory against Sri Lanka will not be so easy. According to the betting odds in today's match, the chances of Sri Lanka winning are very much towards it, so Sri Lanka is still the favorite to win the third match.

Sri Lanka has already won the series. I don't know why for some time New Zealand cannot face Sri Lanka. I think Sri Lanka get stronger but that's not possible because they have lost the last series that they played against India in which Test, ODIs, and T20Is were played and they cannot even win a single match or the New Zealand team is out of form.

At the same time, recently they played test matches against India and whitewashed to India so don't know what happened to New Zealand against Sri Lanka otherwise they played well against every team except Sri Lanka.

Yes, in the ODI format, Sri Lanka's "team" batsman, Kusal Mendis, has been able to consistently show his great performance. Given the consistency of Kusal Mendis' performance in the ODI match, it is expected that he will be able to continue his great performance in the last match of this series. Sri Lanka's great batsman Kusal Mendis has become a real terror for the New Zealand team. So I think it is very important for the New Zealand team players to be aware of the difficult environment of Kusal Mendis in the last match of this series.
In the first two ODI matches, the contribution from Kusal Mendis has helped Sri Lanka win the matches. This shows he is consistent in his performance. There are players who used to perform well against specific countries, similar to Clark performing well against India in particular. We were able to see Kusal Mendis playing well against New Zealand, handling any kind of situation. In today's match, New Zealand will do the best to avoid the series washout, and the match being played in Sri Lanka will give them more support.

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are always strong in their home series. And in this series too we can see good performance from Sri Lankan players. Sri Lanka won the first two matches of the series. And Sri Lanka has already been able to win the series.

Sri Lanka won both the matches of the series due to the responsible batting of Kusal Mendis. In the first match, Sri Lanka team was able to collect a huge amount of 324 runs in 49.2 overs. Kusal mendis was able to play a great innings of 143 runs from 128 balls. After losing four wickets for just 65 runs in the second match, Sri Lanka team was under pressure. But due to the responsible batting of Kusal mendis, Sri Lanka was able to win the second match as well. Kusal mendis was not out after collecting 74 runs in the second match. It is expected that Sri Lanka team will be able to play well in today's match as well.
In the year 2024, Sri Lanka have won every series played against different teams on the home ground except the T20 series against India. This shows that the Sri Lanka team is strong at home. There is consistent performance with Kusal Mendis, which means on average he used to score at least 20+ runs along with 50+ runs at least in one of the matches in a series. However, the team fails in important leagues, and they need to focus on preparing themselves for major leagues along with the bilateral series scheduled one after the other.

Now  Sri Lankan International cricket team is doing hard work and that is the reason they are winning the matches. We want the players like Sangkara and jayverdny and Dilshan . Because we saw no legendary player in that team in last couple of years but now they did hard work and won the series against New Zealand. Kusal Mendis is good player of that team and he always play good for his team  and he was also player of the match because he made 74 runs in 102 balls and played crutial role in this match and team won this match.

Tomorrow we will see the match between the same teams but now we are ready to watch which team will win this match but most of the chances that  Sri Lanka team will win this match by high margin.
Yes it must be admitted that the Sri Lankan team is working hard these days and they are reaping the results of their hard work. I would like to add a few more players to the legendary players of the Sri Lankan team that you have mentioned. Jayasuriya, Muralidharan and Lasith Malinga are also one of the legendary players of the Sri Lankan team. When these players played regularly in the Sri Lankan team, the team was much stronger but after these players retired, the Sri Lankan team became weaker.

In recent times, Sri Lanka team has started to play well again, Before this series, Sri Lanka team also managed to beat New Zealand team in a Test series. And now they have won the ODI series against New Zealand with one match to spare. Today, New Zealand and Sri Lanka will face each other in their third ODI match, If Sri Lanka team wins against New Zealand in today's match then Sri Lanka team will be able to whitewash New Zealand today.

India once again has refused to come to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025 and it's likely that CT2025 will be moved to some other country. India in last Asia Cup also refused to come to Pakistan and tournament was played in hybrid model. I was reading on espncricinfo.com that PCB chief said that if India has any issue then they can directly talk to PCB. BCCI is most powerful board and ICC can't do anything against the wish of mighty BCCI.

It's getting difficult to determine who the better team on ODIs are. New Zealand today had a second defeat against Sri Lanka in their 3 match ODI series which means Sri Lanka have won the series.
Sri Lanka winning the toss made New Zealand bat first. New Zealand had early setbacks but the middle order had turned the games at their favor. 173 for 4 in 36 overs. Which was a good score. But the lower order of New Zealand crumbled like stacked cards and were all out for 209 in 45th over.
The target of 210 should have been an easy one for Sri Lanka but they too struggled chasing it. They were in similar situation but their lower order batsmen kept their nerves and played till the 46th over to win it by 3 wickets.
In the first ODI, it was Kusal Mendis who took the score of Sri Lanka to 324 runs. Once again in today's second ODI against New Zealand, the Sri Lanka team have made a comfortable win with the support from Kusal Mendis. Maybe if his wicket had fallen earlier, surely this match could've been a tough fight for both teams. Particularly the Sri Lanka team could've suffered as the end wickets have begun to fall when Kusal Mendis kept everything in control as he didn't miss the scoring, which kept the pressure of the bottom-order players low. Also, playing on the home field seems to be more advantageous. Maybe the New Zealand team needs to make some arrangements and create different strategies as they're on the losing side after a massive series win against India.
hardluck for New Zealand In 2nd ODi game Sri Lanka team batted and bowled well and restricted New Zealand team on 209 runs Sri Lanka bowlers put high pressure on opposite team from start of the innings. M. Theekshana took three wickets and Asitha Fernando took dangerous wicket of Champan and Jeffrey Vandersay destroyed Sri Lanka's middle order by taking three wickets. Sri Lanka team successfully chased the 210 runs target in 46 overs with loss of seven wicket. K. Mendis and M. Theekshana played more than 50 runs in a winning partnership, which helped their team win the series. K. Mendis played brilliant inning of 74 runs unbeaten while M. Theekshana also played brilliant 27 runs innings. The Sri Lanka team won the 2nd game at Pallekele stadium, which was a great honor for the Sri Lanka team, and they won the series by 2-0.

What the hell 2 nd time New Zealand team failed to beat Sri Lanka team and they lost total 2 odi games consistently. In 2 nd game of ODI New Zealand vs Sri Lanka team, Sri Lanka team won toss and they chose field first and their game was held at  Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. New Zealand team made 209 runs target in 20 overs by losing all wickets. Chapman showed good effort and he made 76 runs in 81 balls and hitted seven 4s and three 6s. Batting lineup effort of New Zealand was useless in both games their batsman always lost quick wickets and created pressure to team and other lineup bowling.
The Sri Lankan team won both the consecutive ODI matches and the reason for this victory is the good performance of the Sri Lankan team. While there is a chance of a draw in a two-match T20 series, it is not possible in a 3-match series. Sri Lanka won the series by winning two matches. In the 1st ODI match, although New Zealand had chances, they lost early wickets to New Zealand team due to good bowling by Sri Lanka. In the second match they lost again. New Zealand played well in 2nd ODI match they almost won but they could not resist only one batsman due to which New Zealand team had to lose that match too. The Sri Lankan team is now ahead of the New Zealand team in all formats of cricket.
Now  Sri Lankan International cricket team is doing hard work and that is the reason they are winning the matches. We want the players like Sangkara and jayverdny and Dilshan .

Today is the macth between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. It is in the progress with New Zealand 40/2 in 10 overs. It is the second match of this series and it is very important game for the New Zealand team because they have lost the first game so badly. The T20 series has drawn, one match was won by New Zealand and one match was won by the Sri Lankan team. Now, let's see who will win this ODI game. New Zealand is batting first and let's see if Will Young can play big innings today. I just want to see New Zealand as the winner of the series, it is such an important game for New Zealand.
Today Sri Lanka and New Zealand face off in their second ODI match. New Zealand is batting first and now they have made 59/2 in 15 overs. This game is vital for New Zealand after losing first match. T20 series was tied with each team winning one game so this ODI series is up for grabs. All eyes are on Will Young to deliver a strong performance for New Zealand. After Sri Lanka won first ODI with Kusal Mendis as Player of the Match New Zealand needs comeback to level series. So let's see who will win this match. I hope New Zealand will win and tie the series.

Yesterday there was the one day match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand in which Sri Lanka won the toss and they decided to bowl first that was I think wonderful decision as the pitch is balanced and at the same time, the weather was not good that time that is why Sri Lanka chose to bowl first.

It is because in the wetty pitch, it becomes hard for the batsmen to steady the game and they cannot play the ball, the mostly balls were considered dot balls, and often captains used to choose to bowl first after analysing the weather. In short, Sri Lanka choose such a good descion that has 20 to 30 percent credit to their win.

Sri Lanka chase down all runs in 46 overs and won game by 3 wickets. All winning credit goes to Mendis, his effort was good than all other batsman and he made 74 runs in 102 balls and hitted six 4s. If his wicket was dropped in start of his line then definitely Sri Lanka lost this game but they won only by the great effort of Mendis thanks to Mendis. Maheesh also bowled with brilliant effort and he took down 3 wickets in 9.1 overs and have 31 runs. congratulations Sri Lanka team to win the game.
New Zealand is a strong team but they played a very bad matches in tournament of 50 overs againat Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won the all matches in 50 overs and t20 tournament was drawn between teams. I hope new Zealand they will play better in the next last match. I was also very disappointed to new Zealand team and their members too. Sri Lanka won 2 nd game by 3 wickets and 6 balls under DLS method. The 2nd game between new Zealand and Sri Lanka was hosted at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Sri Lanka won toss and selected to batting first. Sri Lanka Total set a record runs for 210 and won the match. New Zealand total runs and 209 and target was not big they lost the match. The best batting performance in Sri Lanka team was showed by kusal mandias scored 74 runs and 102 balls hitting 6 fours and 0 sixs. Kusal mandias is a very talented player for Sri Lanka team and Alsso  player of match . Congratulations to Sri Lanka team for their upcoming matches.

Seems like you have taken a big position on the New Zealand bet and now seem to be unhappy with the New Zealand win. Is it so ?
I think most people would have lost the bet on this match, as Sri Lanka was an underdog team even if they had won the first ODI, we thought that New Zealand may comeback in this match, but it did not happened.

New Zealand disappointed us in batting and i am never confident on the Sri Lanka batting but since the runs required were less, Sri Lanka team always going to have advantage. Although Sri Lanka have won the ODI series still we will have the final game tomorrow.

I want to tell you, you are analyzing the New Zealand team wrongly. Had it not rained in yesterday's match, New Zealand would have lost the match worse, none of their team's performance was match winning. Except for one or two of them, none of the players have the ability to deliver match-winning performances. According to Sri Lanka's innings, the target of 221 runs in 27 overs on DLS method is not big. How do you say the reason for New Zealand's match loss is the rain?
The target of 221 runs wasn't big, but it becomes a bit difficult when the required run rate become 8+ in a ODI match. New Zealand players had the ability to give a match winning performance, you are underestimating them. I would say that it was the fault of New Zealand bowlers to not create pressure on Sri Lankan batsmen in the first ODI match. The second ODI was competitive even though the target was low. The odds is pretty much in favour of Sri Lanka for the last ODI match.

The second ODI match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand is being played today, with New Zealand batting in the first innings. Although today's match has been reduced to 47 overs due to rain, the New Zealand team did not bat well in today's match. Based on the runs scored in today's match, Sri Lanka can easily achieve this target. Sri Lanka played brilliantly in the first match, so we can expect Sri Lanka to perform well against New Zealand in today's match. Although New Zealand has lost six wickets at the moment, they may not be able to score much more runs at the moment. I think that if New Zealand can play for 47 overs in today's match, they can easily score 230 runs, and if they score runs, Sri Lanka can easily win.
When it come for any team to play any series again SiriLankan team in SiriLanka then definitely results will be much more horrible for opponent beyond thier expectations. It's true that due to spin friendly track they mostly set trap for opponent through his magical spinners and that what exactly they does several time against new Zealand at home ground like recently, they white wash them in test series even new Zealand having full strength squad still they were completely helpless. So once again they get new Zealand at home ground and get a twice lead against them which indicates a victory of them in that series. Now things will be fully focused on thier last match because here they will played thier ordinary game and will try hard Atleast to safe his team dignity from shame of white wash series defeat
The performance of Sri Lankan team has changed since the new coach Sanath Jayasuriya. They have won nine of their 10 matches at home ground so this is a very fabulous performance from Sri lanka team. In second match of series Sri lanka defeated New Zealand by 3 wickets and won the  series with 2-0 and they will whitewashed New Zealand by winning the third and final match of series because they player's have full confidence to beating any team in the world. Kusal Mendis performance is outstanding in first and second match they scored fifties and scored most runs in this series so far and i hoping they will earned the player of series award for his blasting batting performance.

Pakistan is white washed on the T20 series against Australia being played in Australia. Pakistan earlier had an unexpected win at ODI series against Australia but Pakistan failed to perform specially with bat to prevent a white wash. Pakistan winning the toss opted to bat first but their batting order was impaired by Australian bowling. Pakistan were all out for 117 in 19th over. Only four of Pakistani batsmen were able to cross a double digit with Babar Azam's 42 being the highest. Australia chasing a small target of 118 started aggressive and finished it aggressive. They made 118 in 68 balls having a humiliating win against Pakistan.
