At the same time several important players of Sri Lanka retired from the Sri Lankan team but then the condition of the Sri Lankan team became very bad. And it took three to four years for them to get well again. We can consider the current Sri Lankan team as a fairly strong team. They have to be commended for their performance especially after the excellent performance they showed in the ODI series against New Zealand. Maybe from now on Sri Lanka will perform well like this and keep good quality players in their pipeline so that they don't have to fall into bad situations again in the future. The better Sri Lanka performs, the more interesting the Asia Cup will be especially as the competition will be split between India Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
We have many countries which suffer problems like these as their domestic system is never been in good shape to have suitable replacements on time so here we have one understanding if you want to keep going like Australia or India you need to work on their domestic infrastructure which will help you for having better results for long time.

Now after suffering badly for few years Sri Lanka is back on track as their ranking and quality both improving due to their consistency even still we need more work from them because it's never been easy to keep going on same track at home they needed to be had better results on road as well while we will be having Sri Lanka against top teams in away games then we can talk better about their future in this game, but good thing is happened now they are on good way with few skilled and talented players which are giving their best.

I totally agree with you about Sri Lanka cricket team comeback. After struggling when key players retired they have bounced back strongly. Their great performance against New Zealand shows their skill and determination. Strong Sri Lanka team makes Asia Cup more exciting especially with India and Pakistan competing. To keep succeeding Sri Lanka needs to find and develop new talented players. With their current momentum they can achieve big things in international cricket.

Hong Kong vs Singapore
I know about CWC Challenge League Group B competition. Today matches were exciting especially Hong Kong vs Singapore game. Hong Kong hit first scoring 128 runs in 29 overs but game was cut short because of rain. Their best batsmen, Shiv Mathur and Nizakat Khan did great job scoring 37 and 40 runs each. Singapore had a tough time with wet field and could not catch up scoring only 89 runs and losing by 39 runs. Rainy conditions helped Hong Kong win.

At the moment, Hong Kong is leading the points table in 2024-2026 CWC Challenge League Group B. However, in my opinion Italy is the strongest team in this group. And also, out of the 6 teams participating, only teams with native players are Italy, Tanzania and Uganda. BTW, Emilio Gay is making his debut for Italy in this series (his mother is Italian, and therefore he is qualified to play for them). So far he has made a total of 203 runs in 3 matches, at an average of 101.50. Joe Burns (former Australian test player) is also representing Italy, as his mother is of Italian origin.

12 th game was played on same day when this game was played between Hong Kong and Singapore team. Bahrain team won toss and they elected to bat first. Taiwan Vs Bahrain in these two team very difficult to predict which team will win definitely 12 th game was won Bahrain by big margin but both team level is equal and have same stamina. Bahrain target was very competitive and they made 237 runs in 50 overs and entire team was dismissal. Nasir got a player of game award and he deserved this title because this man made 89 runs in 100 balls and hitted four 4s and two 6s. Haider also helped team to win game by scoring 40 runs in 76 balls and hitted two 4s and one 6s.  Taiwan succeeded to take down all wickets of Bahrain in bat but they failed to chase all runs of Bahrain and lost game by 84 runs and they chased down only 153 runs. Congratulations Bahrain team to win game.

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.

Hong Kong vs Singapore

In this ODI thread, is anyone here how familiar with this competition CWC Challenge League Group B and watch any match today total thirteen matches were finished and today two matches were played first one was played among Hong Kong sqaud against Singapore squad and other one Taiwan squad against Bahrain.

I watched this match Hong Kong squad against Singapore squad, in this match, Hong Kong squad started this match first with batting and their squad managed 128 scores after Playing 29 overs and these are the one day matches sadly rain interrupted during match that's why just 29 overs were played. Just top order batters displayed their amazing skills in front of Singapore bowlers and i satisfied their performance. Shiv Mathur  and Nizakat Khan both batters managed high scores in Hong Kong squad side and both collected 37 and 40 scores respectively. Singapore squad was unable to secure victory in this match and their was disadvantage for them because pitch was not good as well wet with rain. Singapore squad just achieved 89 scores and faced defeat with 57 scores.

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.

Sri Lanka won the first game but that does not mean that they will continue their winning streak in the next games too. In this match Sri Lanka got the added advantage as Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis both made the century and due to this, it was an easy win for them. However we cannot expect them again to put in a similar performance and if any one of them is out early then the Sri Lanka middle and lower batting order will be exposed and they didn't get much match practice in this match. We shall wait for the Sunday to see another match between them.

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.

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!
