Yes ,you are right. That was high score match in which Sri Lankan International cricket team was dominant and made highest total . Rain interrupted in this match and they empires took decision and target in this match was 221 in 27 overs but New Zealand International test could make 175 runs and they lose their wickets early in the match and that was big reason of their lose in this match. Kusal Mendis was the player of this match and he deserves that and he made match one sided. Now Sri Lankan team is putting effort and we will see that team in Champions trophy and we will see good competition between teams because before 2 to 3 years after retirement of Sri Lankan legends team was very low class.
Kusal Mendis, a player known for his performance, debuted in 2015 for all formats, but he is best in Test and ODI formats. He also plays in T20 format, but he has scored very low in T20 matches. He was the Player of the Match today because he played well, scoring 143 runs off 128 balls, which included 17 fours and 6 sixes. The Sri Lankan decision to bat first was very effective because they made this decision based on the weather and then scored a high number of runs. The New Zealand team might have made the same decision if they had won the toss. However, they lowered their run rate, and rain interrupted the match, leading to their loss by the DLS method. In the New Zealand team, W. Young and J. Duffy performed best. The bowler gave away the least runs while the batsmen secured the highest runs for the team..

Sri Lanka should really be congratulated in this match as they faced a strong team and won by a good margin. Sri Lanka have scored 324 runs in the entire over which has proved difficult for New Zealand. A pity for the New Zealand batsmen is that their batsmen did not play the entire match and will lose the match due to DLS. Even if they played the whole match, they could have lost the match. Because Sri Lanka's bowling is so strong and admirable that their bowler took 9 wickets in just 27 overs. Sri Lanka will have to show such performance in their next matches also because if they prove to be the same in the next matches, we will know that New Zealand has weakened and Sri Lanka have strengthened themselves in their decision to improve.
Many people may not have an idea about the development of Sri Lankan cricket as there is no major event like the World Cup at this time but those who watch cricket games regularly know very well that how much Sri Lankan cricket has achieved during this time that they are now a hard opponent against any big team. Their win in the series indicates that. Sri Lanka scored 324 runs against New Zealand yesterday and won the match. Avishka Fernando andKusal Mendis both scored centuries. In ODI cricket if two batsmen get two centuries in a match then it becomes very difficult to win that match. Despite being a strong team, New Zealand did not win against Sri Lanka. I hope the Sri Lankan team will win the next match as well.

Yes, currently we are seeing Sri Lanka's performance better than we expected. Their excellent performance and victory in every match has given them more confidence. The great game we can see from the beginning against New Zealand in today's match is wonderful, they have been able to bat wonderfully. The Sri Lankan team has been able to post a huge score with the great partnership of Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando. Kusal Mendis scored 113 runs off 111 balls, his batting performance is excellent, moreover Avishka Fernando got out after scoring 100 runs off 115 balls, both are great centuries. In today's match, Sri Lanka has lost three wickets at the moment and has scored 238 runs at the moment, however, if they play up to 50 overs, Sri Lanka's run can be 300+.
Sri Lanka gave a very good target of more than 300 in which I think New Zealand will find trouble to chase it. In the first two overs, New Zealand has reached to the 10 runs. However, the rain was starting in the start of the game and did not stop for a long time but now the weather is good and suitable for the game. Sri Lanka has made 324 but due to DLS New Zealand have to make 221 as target to win . New Zealand can win the game but it won't be easy with Sri Lanka having good bowling attack with Maheesh Theekshana and Asitha Fernando.
I bet on Sri Lanka and got 1.15 odds. I know its not much but still I think it is good as the chances for Sri Lanka are more here to win this match.

Two more matches remain in the ODI series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, and the latter need to win both of them. The next match will take place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Honestly, I expected New Zealand to do better, given their whitewash of India in the test series. But then, test and ODI are entirely different formats. Mitchell Santner, the hero in India looked defanged in Sri Lanka. And then Michael Bracewell and Ish Sodhi were also unable to pick wickets under helpful conditions.

Shaheen Shah Afridi is back as the number 1 bowler in the one day Ranking. In the last year when the ODI World Cup 2023 was in progress, Pakistan played their last match in one day and that time, the whole team performed so poorly and it caused Pakistan players to lose their good ranking but now after a long time, Pakistan played the ODI series against Australia and with good performance they are back in order.
Shaheen Shah got the first position once again. And in the batting, Babar Azam is already on Number 1 for quite some time. But I remember in 2023, Pakistan players lost their number 1 positions for just one week and Babar's streak was broken (which I think was about 200 days).

In fact, New Zealand squad of new and experienced players may take some time to mature and hopefully they will be able to perform better in the next match.
It was the first ODI match for New Zealand in this year. They played the last ODI match 11 months ago. Which is another primary reason for bad performance from NZ team. The DLS method made the match easy for Sri Lanka. New Zealand openers did a good job, but the remaining batsmen performance wasn't up to the mark. Sri Lanka will win the series for sure.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? If you have watched the match well, you will realize that New Zealand did not perform to win the match in any department. Their bowlers were out of rhythm and the batsmen did not perform well. It would not have been easy for Sri Lanka to perform like this against the experienced team of New Zealand.

New Zealand would have lost with/without DLS to be honest since Sri Lanka won in the first innings itself thanks to Fernando and Mendis scoring centuries. None of their batsmen scared them.Kiwis are all over the place these days. They lost against the Lankans in their test series and created history by defeating India on their turf and might lose the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka. Crazy!

Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Pathum Nissanka very quickly. But then due to the great partnership of Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis, Sri Lanka was able to collect big. Sri Lanka is always able to perform well on their home pitch. And Sri Lanka proved it once again. Sri Lanka made a huge collection of 324. Avishka Fernando scored 100 runs and Kusal's collection was 143 runs. Sri Lanka was able to collect 206 runs from this pair.
The match was delayed due to rain. New Zealand needed to collect 221 runs in 27 overs to win in DLS method. This was a pretty big target. And naturally New Zealand was defeated. New Zealand managed to collect 175 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. I consider Sri Lanka as the favorite in this series.

Sri Lankan players were very confident in this match. That is why the team was able to collect big runs. Sri Lankan batsmen batted at a decent strike rate from the beginning of the innings. Avishka and Kusal batted well. As a result, it became easier for Sri Lanka to collect 300+ runs. On the other hand, we did not see good bowling from New Zealand bowlers on this Sri Lankan pitch. Nathan Smith gave away 66 runs in 8 overs and Michael Bracewell gave away 73 runs in 9 overs.
Sri Lankan batsmen and bowlers also bowled very well. Dilshan Madushanka gave away 39 runs in 4 overs, but Dilshan Madushanka was able to take three wickets. Also, Asitha Fernando and Maheesh Theekshana bowled well.

Sri Lanka team showed their home advantage and won the first ODI match by a huge margin against New Zealand. This match was really interesting especially the batting performance of Sri Lanka team which was very good and it is worth seeing, two players were able to score those great centuries and took the team to a very big score. However, although Sri Lanka collected a huge score of 324 runs, but due to rain the match was reduced to 27 overs through DLS and set a target of 221 runs. However, although New Zealand team tried hard to win but they failed and lost their nine wickets, Sri Lanka won by a margin of 45 runs. However, this match saw Sri Lanka team their strong performance and they played with their strong confidence in every match due to which they can ensure victory.

Abhishek Fernandez and Kushal Mendis, the two players of the Sri Lankan team, are the best players in today's match. Because both of them have scored centuries and their centuries are enough to win this match today, although rain was the main problem in this match. Rain was a hindrance from the start so even though this match came under DLS system, New Zealand team did not win this match, but the main sign of New Zealand team's loss is wicket loss. The fall is high.
New Zealand team lost the last game by 45 runs, after the opening batsman of New Zealand team got out, the next players did not perform well at the crease. They got out with few runs due to which the New Zealand team lost this match by a huge margin.

Bangladesh and Afghanistan faced each other in the undeclared final match where Bangladesh lost to Afghanistan by a huge margin of 5 wickets. Bangladeshi bowlers were not able to hit the Afghan camp in the beginning due to which Bangladesh fell far behind in the match. If Bangladesh could have lost more wickets early and put the pressure on runs, it might have been easier for Bangladesh to get out of this match, but Bangladesh could not do that. Afghanistan's performance must be appreciated because Afghanistan has been able to do the job that Bangladesh should have done very well. Although Bangladesh have been playing cricket for a long time, they may not yet have the experience of how to pull off a match.
This loss is due to Bangladesh's poor performance and not playing well. Although their batsmen gave a good target of 244 which could have been a strong one with their good bowling but their bowling could not stop the runs and took more wickets and lost the match. And on the other hand the Afghanistan batsmen won the match by achieving this target in 48 overs congratulations to them for this victory and they also won the match by playing hard and playing well and also the series which they were going to lose but They changed the game at the end and will deserve to win this series.The Bangladesh bowler had stopped enough runs in the first 10 overs but after that his bowling did not work and could not control the match.

Will Young and Tim Robinson have opened the game for New Zealand. The 7 overs have already passed and they are not playing with a good run rate and at the same time, they are not playing as per the required run rate which is over 8. The target is high, they have to boost their speed otherwise this game would not be good for New Zealand later. . Let's see what will happen in the next overs of the game, I am supporting to the New Zealand and also I did bet on them that is why I want to see them winner.
Firstly after SiriLankan scored 300+ I taught new Zealand will give tough fight back to them and they actually does a bit especially at start of thier innings till 80+ runs partnership but later on in just upcoming three to four overs they firstly lost their vital partnership and then bunch of important wickets which execute huge huge pressure on their upcoming batter due to which they even unable to hold his wicket long and can't even match the required run rate which lead them to the important victory and thus even having things is control at early they lose everything. Anyway according to scoredboard SiriLankan build more then 200+ phenomenal partnership after lose of one wicket which really put them on strong position to victory and also make thier bowlers more confident while Target defend

finally Bangladesh lost to Afghanistan in the third ODI match by a huge margin of 5 wickets, losing the third match to Afghanistan they also lost the ODI series against them. I would blame Bangladesh's loss in that match yesterday on the uncontrolled bowling and bad fielding by the Bangladeshi bowlers. Moreover, Bangladesh could not score many runs despite batting first. I was surprised to see Mehdi Hasan Miraj's batting, it seemed as if he was playing a test match. Bangladesh team did not do well in batting but they should have done well in bowling and fielding they also failed to do that which resulted in them losing the match to Afghanistan.
As the series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan is already over, Bangladesh should focus on their upcoming series. Because Bangladesh will face the West Indies in the upcoming series, they may have to face a tough test there as well.
Afghanistan won the final match of series with good note winning by 5 wickets against Bangladesh. Bangladesh poor fielding and bowling performance cost him to lost the series. The Bangladeshi fielder was very poor and missed many catch chances which led to Rahmanullah Gurbaz scoring 100 runs and lead the team to victory. The Player of the match award to Azmatullah Omarzai for his outstanding all round performance in bowling they picked 4 important wickets by just giving only 37 runs and in batting they scored match winning 70 runs and remain unbeaten. Bangladesh team should learn from their mistakes. i think Bangladesh team should focus on their fielding and bowling and need improvement if they want to perform well in the upcoming matches and in the Champions Trophy.As the series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan is already over, Bangladesh should focus on their upcoming series. Because Bangladesh will face the West Indies in the upcoming series, they may have to face a tough test there as well.
