I stand with Palestine.
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..
Kusal Mendis seasoned player since 2015 excelled in Test and ODI formats. Today he scored 143 runs off 128 balls which is really good performance and due to this he secured Player of the Match honors.
Sri Lanka decision to bat first was good and match influenced by weather conditions was also good for them. From New Zealand Will Young and Jacob Duffy performed well but their team fell short due to slower run rate and rain interruptions resulting in DLS method loss.

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 and
Kusal 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.
Sri Lanka have improved their overall balance, especially batting and bowling combinations, which was evident in the series against New Zealand. Sri Lanka had to answer for their poor performance in the last ODI World Cup but they have improved themselves considerably. The way they were batting against New Zealand in the last match and the way the two batsmen scored centuries, there is no doubt that their batting development has taken place. Moreover, the way they were able to reduce New Zealand by 9 wickets for 175 runs proved that their bowlers have improved considerably.

In the 1st game of ODI tournament New Zealand tour to Sri Lanka, The 1st game between New Zealand and Sri Lanka was
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.

You said good and I see How Sri Lanka team play games in this ODI series as well they played in past. This was the big runs game of Sri Lanka team played and they won game by 45 runs in DLS method. Sri Lanka team set a competitive runs target in 50 overs by losing 5 wickets and games was over when they played 49.2 overs. New Zealand team did not chase the Target of Sri Lanka team and played quite poor. Media made a brilliant century and he made 143 runs in 128 balls and hitted seventeen 4s and two 6s. Avishka also made progress for team and his effort was mind blowing with making brilliant century and he made 100 runs and hitted nine 4s and two 6s. Dilsham showed excellent struggle in bowling and he bowled 4 overs and gave 39 runs and took down 3 wickets. Congratulations Sri Lanka team to win 1 st game and hope you will make winning streak in next.

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.


Congratulations you win, Sri Lanka looking very strong is this match winning by 45 runs by DLS method. Sri Lanka magnificent batting performance especially Avishka Fernando batting well scored well deserved century and Kusal Mendis scored 143. Sri Lanka didn't played full over 4 balls left to rain started and over was short. The Target was shorter 221 runs in 27 overs for New Zealand but they only managed to score175 runs in a loss of 9 wickets and lost the match by 45 runs. The Player of the Match is Kusal Mendis for his amazing batting performance scored 143 runs in just 128 balls, jsut missed his 150 by few runs short but his inning will helped Sir lanka to cross 300 runs. The second match of series is played 17 November and i hope New Zealand will strongly comebcak.

In the 1st game of ODI tournament New Zealand tour to Sri Lanka, The 1st game between New Zealand and Sri Lanka was hosted at ground Rangiri Dambulla . Sri Lanka team won the toss and elected to batting first. Sri Lankan tema won the game by 45 runs under DLS method . Target Sri Lanka team set total runs record for 324 and win the big match. New Zealand did not compete the record total runs for 175 and lost the match. The best batting performance in the Sei Lanka team was showed by Kusal Mendis and he made 145 runs and 128 balls and hitting 17 fours and 2 sixs. Everyone showed their best games and played really well. They seem to be in great form and won T20 tournament and playing exceptionally. New Zealand need a lot of hard work and they also a good team. I hope New Zealand they will play better in the next match. Congratulations to Sri lanka team for their upcoming matches.

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).

Patience and hard work are the keys to success.
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 Lanka impressive performance secured convincing win against New Zealand. After losing Pathum Nissanka early Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis formed crucial partnership helping Sri Lanka post 324. Fernando 100 and Mendis 143 showcasing Sri Lanka home advantage. Both players played excellently and they are the reason of SriLankan team winning. Rain disrupted gamr setting New Zealand daunting 221 run target in 27 overs via DLS. New Zealand struggled, managing only 175/9. Sri Lanka's dominance makes them series favorite.

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.

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.

The New Zealand team was under a bit of pressure due to the rain which gave them a limited overs target and it was not easy for them to chase big runs due to the excellent batting skills of Sri Lanka. The batting prowess of Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando helped the Sri Lankan team post huge scores and were ahead of the pack in quick runs. New Zealand young Jacob Duffy tried to bowl well and took 3 wickets for 41 runs in 8.2 overs. New Zealand batting line up was weak and the middle order batsmen did not perform well. As the opening batsmen, Will Young and Tim Robinson put in good efforts but none of the latter could perform as well as their role.

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.

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.

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.

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.
2015 was perhaps the best time for Bangladeshi cricket. At that time, Bangladesh qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time by defeating England on English soil, and Bangladesh did very well in all the bilateral series that Bangladesh played in that year. Earlier Bangladesh used to regularly score 280-300 plus runs in ODI cricket but lately their times are going so bad where they are getting 220,230 and some times under 200 runs all out. Earlier Afghanistan did not care much about Bangladesh but now Bangladesh is losing regularly against Afghanistan. While other teams have improved in the game, Bangladesh's deterioration has been greater than its improvement.
