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.




It may be very difficult for the New Zealand team to win this match today as they still need 122 runs from just 67 balls to win. At the moment, the way the New Zealand batsmen are batting, their run rate is not good at all. New Zealand batsmen need to score 10.93 runs per over to win this match but they are now scoring runs at 6.25 per over. The less runs the New Zealand cricket team batsmen score per over, the more pressure will be on them, As a result they will keep losing wickets.

I think if the New Zealand cricket team loses to Sri Lanka today it will be because of their poor bowling performance. The performance of the Sri Lankan batsmen in today's match will prove how bad the New Zealand bowling has performed today.
Few days ago T20 format competition was successfully started among New Zealand squad against Sri Lanka squad. The T20 format was finished in balance mode total have 2 matches in this format one won Sri Lanka squad and second was won New Zealand squad. In one day competition today, Sri Lanka squad destroyed New Zealand squad completely and overs were reduced because of heavy rain interruption. Sri Lanka squad had managed hard scores in defence by displaying admirable strength. Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando both batter of Sri Lanka squad expressed their strongest strength in match and both batters managed 143 and 100 scores respectively. That's why today Sri Lanka squad successfully secured their victory as well big victory. With loss of 9 batter wickets, nEw Zealand squad just achieved 175 scores and they faced one more defeat but still they have two more matches to win this competition with great comeback.

Now match is completely under control of Sri Lanka which have good comeback thanks to good and spirited bowling by Maheesh Theekshana and Charith Asalanka as we have start from New Zealand things were looking favorable for them, but now it's all ended for them 88 for 1 from 13.2 overs to now 110 for 5 in 18 overs telling all story about New Zealand chase in this game.

After win of toss and have bat first was good decision by Sri Lanka as they have 324 for 5 in 49 overs thanks to Kusal Mendis 143 and Avishka Fernando 100 which helps them for having this huge target good thing we have match end with result because rain have some interruption which was looking not good because fans now not love things like these which bring problems in this game.

Sri Lanka looks set for a massive total. They are 305/4 after 47 overs, and if they can keep up with the current momentum, then they may get to a total of 330-340. Kiwi bowlers have been expensive and the track at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium was not offering them any support at all. Jacob Duffy was the only bowler who looked impressive. Debutant Nathan Smith went for more than 7 runs per over, while Michael Bracewell went for more than 8 runs per over. Advantage Sri Lanka at the moment.


The Srilankan team had successfully reached 324 runs in the last set of overs.Because after a long back,the Srilanka cricket team scoring above 300 runs in the ODI.Because all the senior player of the Srilanka dominating the entire team.After he retirement of them,Srilanka suffered a lot and we able to see in the World Cup matches of 2023.The same was reflected in the T20 World Cup matches,this tour of New Zealand on Srilanka.The home ground advantage was still with the Srilankan team,the current target for the New Zealand is 65 runs from 17 balls is almost not possible to the New Zealand team in this match.

I expected New Zealand to win the match but it looks like they don't want to win themselves. When the required run rate is high, it is funny to see their condition of play. Don't they know about T20 format? However, New Zealand's irresponsible playing conditions will lead them to a certain loss. Now only they seem to lose the balls. Cricket matches are not as competitive as they used to be. I am shocked to see how they are making such an easy match difficult to beat. It would have been satisfying if they had hit some boundaries. But after seeing such a performance, I think the New Zealand fans will not be able to accept it in any way. In most matches when I see DLS method the chasing team has more chances to win but the way they are playing from the start today has no chance of winning.

Netherlands played quite well here and their batting performance was also very good but unfortunately they lost by just one run. Basically the Netherlands team could not play with their wickets due to which they could not score a single run and even though they had 5 overs left they had no wickets. If they could have scored a single run then the match would have been drawn but their batting performance was not that good then due to which they had to lose against Oman. Yes currently Oman is a much better team with 14 points for which they are in fifth position and Netherlands is in fourth position. Since the points of these three teams Netherlands Scotland and Oman are equal, each team will play well in the next match to increase their points. The difference in points between these two teams Canada and United Arab Emirates is equal for which they are in the top position of the points table.
The last of tournament match between  Netherlands and Oman was held at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket ground. Netherlands team won the toss and elected to fielding first. Oman team one more time they beated and this time they won game by 1 runs very close match and close win. Oman made a record total runs for 155 and they won the match have a low target. Netherlands did not complete record total runs for 154 and lost the match. I hope  Netherlands they will play better in the next upcoming tournament.  Oman team l have made their fans very happy with outstanding gameplay. This showed great skill a determination on the field. The best bowling batting performance in Oman team was showed by Aamir Kaleem and she bowled out 4 wickets and 10 overs and conceded 24 runs. Aamir Kaleem is a very talented women for Netherlands. Congratulations to Netherlands team.
That was first match of 3 matches series in which both teams played well in this match and gave good performance in this match. Netherland cricket team made 138 runs with fall of 7 wickets . The reason behind the success is that because no  player from that team could make half century in this match.  Oman team players played very well in this match and made 62 runs in 42 balls and one more person was the reason behind success and that was Mehmood who made 37 runs in 39 balls . Van der Merwe  was thean who took 3 wickets in this match but he could not save his team from lose.That was a low score match but both team fought well for the win but Oman team became successful in their mission.

They are trying to retain wickets and also try to increase the run rate. But if it doesn't rain again, they will have a chance. But Target 221 is no less. If New Zealand's required run-rate ratio falls behind, it will be difficult for them to recover. But since they have wickets I think if they play the whole match there will definitely be a chance to win. At this moment 11 overs are played but their current run rate is only 6.91 and required run rate is 9.06 I think New Zealand need to reduce this gap quickly otherwise once they get pressure they will surely lose this match. The target score is much higher if you imagine it as a T20 match.

Revised target for the New Zealand is 221 in 27 overs as we have interruption due to rain this is huge setback for the Sri Lanka which score 324 runs in 49.2 overs, but now things are favorable for the visitors with this revised target.
In chase of this target we have good start for the New Zealand both openers doing impressive job have 76 runs in 11 overs even required rate is still over @9 but as we have start of inning for New Zealand look like they can finish this match as winner of first ODI after having draw in Twenty/20 matches series against same opponent.

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.

Yes Sri Lankan batsmen have already managed to collect more than 300 runs in this match today. The way Sri Lankan batsmen started their batting performance in the first ODI of the series between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, everyone thought that they might put up a big score today. In this match, two batsmen of Sri Lanka, Avishka Fernando and Kushal Mendis, gave an excellent batting performance, mainly based on these two batsmen, Sri Lankan cricket team was able to collect a lot of runs today. This ODI match between these two teams is currently suspended due to rain.
The New Zealand team that beat England in three consecutive Tests a few days ago scored 324 runs in the Sri Lanka ODI against New Zealand with four balls still to play. Earlier two T20 matches were played between New Zealand and Sri Lanka and these two T20 matches were won separately by New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The first innings of the first ODI match is yet to be completed as it is currently suspended due to rain. But with the runs that Sri Lanka have been able to score, I would say if they can bowl a bit better, they can have a chance of winning against New Zealand. And if Sri Lanka can win the first match against New Zealand then a win in either of the next two matches will ensure their series win.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
New players should be given a place in the team and if the performance of the experienced players is not enough, then the team management should make more changes. I have seen a combination of new and experienced players in the list of players in the New Zealand team and it is expected that they will be able to show good performance. Sri Lanka team won the toss and decided to bat and New Zealand bowlers are bowling well but the experienced batsmen of the Sri Lanka team are handling it quite well. As of writing, Sri Lanka's total is 83 runs for 1 wicket in 15.5 overs.

Sri Lanka has performed better than what was expected from them in the recent months. And the form continues in this match as well. At the moment they are 181/1 after 31 overs, with Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando out there at the crease with half-centuries. The only wicket to fall so far has been picked up by Jacob Duffy. Apart from that, neither the pacers nor the spinners have been able to get any breakthroughs for the Kiwis. The Kiwis included 4 spinners for today's match BTW (Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell, Ish Sodhi and Glenn Phillips).

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.

Yes, Sri Lanka is capable of winning at home ground with the improvement in their performance and the way they are playing. However, it may not be so easy for Sri Lanka to win the match against New Zealand, because New Zealand is a very strong team. Since the Sri Lanka captain has decided to bat after winning the toss, then of course they know the pitch conditions here, which is why he has taken this decision. If Sri Lanka can chase a big target, then it will be easy to beat New Zealand, besides, Sri Lanka's current performance is very strong. However, we have seen that India was defeated by New Zealand at their home ground, so if Sri Lanka can perform strongly on such a ground, then New Zealand will be able to beat them. However, if such runs are made on today's pitch, then maybe New Zealand will have a chance to win because their bowling and batting are good.

Looking at New Zealand's XI, I am not at all optimistic about them. Against Sri Lanka's current performance, New Zealand's players will not be able to produce a good result. I bet New Zealand will not perform well given their position. Except for 2-3 players of ODI XI none of the players could play well in international cricket. None of them have the ability to perform in international cricket so far.

I am not criticizing the New Zealand team, just looking at their squad it is clear that winning the series is not their main goal. Their main goal in this series is to create new players. With a young team against an experienced team like Sri Lanka, New Zealand's match is more than difficult to win. Sri Lanka's current performance will also prove this sentence.
Not to criticize New Zealand players but their performance is not going well at all. After whitewashing India in the Tests, naturally we expected to beat Sri Lanka but we can't expect them to perform this badly against Sri Lanka.
Today is the first ODI match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand but in this match it is expected that Sri Lanka is going to put up a big run score. So far Sri Lanka have collected 200 runs but only one wicket has fallen. So if Sri Lanka can bat till 50 overs then surely the score of runs will be 350. In this case, it is believed that the chances of going to New Zealand will be very low.

Sri Lanka and New Zealand are going to face each other in the first ODI of the series today in Dambulla. There is no doubt that Sri Lanka is strong in the home series. Sri Lankan players are well aware of the home pitches. Sri Lanka is also capable of performing well in home conditions.

Sri Lanka captain decided to bat after winning the toss. And I think it is the right decision. Because the pitch of Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium is not batting friendly. It is very difficult to score big on this pitch. More importantly, it is very difficult to bat on the target on this pitch. The average collection on this pitch of Dambulla in the first innings is 212 runs and the average collection in the second innings is 175 runs. I am not expecting a high score in today's match either.
Sri Lanka choose to bat first but it seems that they will not be able to bat at least for now as the match has been stopped due to rain.  Only one ball was bowled by Jacob Duffy and then the rain came.  By the way, Wanindu Hasaranga is not playing today as he is injured. Dilshan Madushanka and Jeffrey Vandersay come in the replacement.

Also there are lot of changes in the New Zealand ODI squad. There are three new players who will be having their debutants.  Also Lockie Ferguson is injured from New Zealand team and Adam Milne will be playing instead. The sad news is that the rain is get heavier and they have now covered 75% of the ground with covers.

I can see some new players in this New Zealand squad. I have never seen these players perform before. New Zealand's squad is lacking in experienced players today. New Zealand should have fielded a squad with experienced players on this Sri Lankan pitch. However, I still expect to see a competitive match. Since the pitch is bowling friendly, if New Zealand's bowlers do well, Sri Lanka will not be able to score big.

Sri Lanka has scored 32 runs in 5 overs. The team is scoring at an average of 6.4 runs per over. However, Sri Lanka has already lost the wicket of opener Pathum Nissanka. Pathum Nissanka has been dismissed after scoring 12 runs from 10 balls.
New players should be given a place in the team and if the performance of the experienced players is not enough, then the team management should make more changes. I have seen a combination of new and experienced players in the list of players in the New Zealand team and it is expected that they will be able to show good performance.

The average collection on this pitch of Dambulla in the first innings is 212 runs and the average collection in the second innings is 175 runs. I am not expecting a high score in today's match either.
Sri Lanka choose to bat first but it seems that they will not be able to bat at least for now as the match has been stopped due to rain.  Only one ball was bowled by Jacob Duffy and then the rain came.  By the way, Wanindu Hasaranga is not playing today as he is injured. Dilshan Madushanka and Jeffrey Vandersay come in the replacement.

Also there are lot of changes in the New Zealand ODI squad. There are three new players who will be having their debutants.  Also Lockie Ferguson is injured from New Zealand team and Adam Milne will be playing instead. The sad news is that the rain is get heavier and they have now covered 75% of the ground with covers.

I can see some new players in this New Zealand squad. I have never seen these players perform before. New Zealand's squad is lacking in experienced players today. New Zealand should have fielded a squad with experienced players on this Sri Lankan pitch. However, I still expect to see a competitive match. Since the pitch is bowling friendly, if New Zealand's bowlers do well, Sri Lanka will not be able to score big.

Sri Lanka has scored 32 runs in 5 overs. The team is scoring at an average of 6.4 runs per over. However, Sri Lanka has already lost the wicket of opener Pathum Nissanka. Pathum Nissanka has been dismissed after scoring 12 runs from 10 balls.
