What can Rashid Khan do when the Afghanistan batsmen only managed to score 116 runs in a 50 overs game? Even the players like Rashid Khan needs some score to defend, a score where the other team can be put under pressure while chasing. Rashid Khan bowled four overs in this match and conceded 21 runs and no wickets. Though this was good bowling seeing the context of the match, they need wickets which Afghanistan bowlers were not able to get.

Also, when we talk about Afghanistan, only Rashid Khan comes to mind. They need more match winners as the cricket team never won matches on the performance of a single person.

Afghan batting has shown no improvement over the years. Mohammad Shahzad was there a few years ago, but he was very volatile. Now they have young players like Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz who are very inconsistent, and players like Mohammad Nabi who are out of form. And that is the reason why they are losing so many matches despite having some of the best spin bowlers in the world. I don't know much about the domestic cricket system in Afghanistan. Low quality domestic cricket maybe one of the reasons behind this.

LOL! 116 all out  Grin, what were Afganistan batters thinking? They forgot it is an ODI game and not T20. Hasiranga and Chameera did not give Afghan batters to go after their bowling. As expected it is not that easy to defeat Srilank on their home ground. If the Asia cup happens in Srilanka then most probably they would win it this time. The pitch is made according to the needs of Srilankan team. With this win they won the series. I personally never thought that Afganistan would play so badly in the last match. I expected them to be more competitive. I did expect a thrilling final match. None of that sort happened today.

I already knew that they would lose the series. I never knew that they would lose in such a humiliating manner. I was expecting them to atleast put up a target of 200 runs. Why I say they were all out for 116 runs at that point it made me clear how good the Srilankan bowlers played yesterday.

I was expecting Nabi and Rashid to bat either agressively or defensively, both failed to deliver. On thier home ground Srilanka does play good and in Asia cup they would be a team for the final contention.

I thought the third match of the ODI series between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka would end in a tight contest. But the opposite is happening in that case, it is ridiculous to lose all wickets and score 116 runs in an ODI match. Afghanistan cricket team has come under criticism for scoring 116 runs in today's ODI match.  This is really shameful for Afghanistan cricket team. Such low-scoring matches do not even grace the T20 format these days
Yes the 3rd ODI match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka did not go as expected it is important to remember that every team can have an off day. Afghanistan under the captaincy of Rashid Khan has shown their capabilities and potential in the past. This unfortunate low-scoring match where they were all out for 116 runs should be seen as an opportunity for growth and learning. Credit must be given to the Sri Lankan bowlers for their exceptional performance in restricting Afghanistan batting lineup. It is through challenges like these that teams can analyze their weaknesses and come back stronger in future matches.

No team can expect to win if they give a target of just 117 runs. Even then, if the pitch had been spin-bowling friendly, Afghanistan might have been able to fight back. They have several excellent spinners. But the pitch was batting-friendly. And a victory on such a pitch was impossible given a target of 117 runs. Afghanistan players did not perform well.
I expected to see a better performance from Rashid Khan. Because I saw Rashid Khan's great batting and bowling in IPL. But he was inactive in this series. I didn't expect such an unprofessional performance from Afghanistan players against Sri Lanka.

Looks like Afghanistan is regaining their old form. They created a lot of hope after winning the first match, then they lost the second and third ODI match pathetically. Afghanistan will play an ODI series against Bangladesh on the next month. I think they will lose the series too against Bangladesh. Anyway, it won't be easy for Sri Lanka to win the Asia cup even if the venue become Sri Lanka. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are better than Sri Lanka in the ODI format now.
After Afghanistan's win in the first match, there were hopes that they might win the next matches as well. But in reality the opposite has been seen. Afghanistan lost the next two matches to lose the series. There is no scope to denying that Sri Lanka is definitely a good team in ODI cricket. If the Asia Cup is held in Sri Lanka then it will become a good opportunity for Sri Lanka. We know that home venue advantage is not very useful in  franchise cricket but in international matches it will definitely be a great advantage. Although Sri Lanka will not be finalist, they will be able to show good performance in the 2023 Asia Cup.

It's not like that. As a result of their inexperience, Afghanistan's performance is very volatile. They will defeat the world's best on one day and go down meekly against them on the next day. At least on paper, both Afghanistan and Sri Lanka looks to be teams of equal strength for me. Afghans are very strong, especially in the bowling department, with players like Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Fazalhaq Farooqi able to trouble the batsmen. Batting has been a bit weak and lacks experience, but they still have explosive batsmen such as Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran.

Afghanistan had a poor performance in the third ODI today. Today, Sri Lanka is likely to win without a wicket in this case. But Sri Lanka could not play any role in this case without winning by a wicket. Sri Lanka scored 95 runs for 1 but it will be easy for Sri Lanka to complete the basket of 116 runs. Nissanka scored a half century which is very lucky for Sri Lanka, and the opening batsman is likely to win this day's team. The performance of both of them is very good but the opening batsmen will have the most role in Sri Lanka's win today.

Sri Lanka won the series because of Yes Afghanistan's poor performance. The entire cricketing world is disgusted with such poor performance by the players of the Afghanistan team. Such play is not acceptable in ODI format. This match proved that Afghanistan has lost its ability to play. However, in this match, the bowlers of the Sri Lankan team became deadly. They managed to take all the wickets of the Afghanistan team in 22.2 overs. The bowlers of the Sri Lankan team have earned a lot of reputation in this match. The third match of this ODI series ended in frustration

Both the 50-over matches turned out to be one sided affairs today. First it was the turn of Sri Lanka to sweep the floor with the hapless Afghans. Lankans chased down the target with 34 overs to spare, and they lost just 1 wicket in doing that. The match between Karnataka and Namibia also had a similar outcome. Namibia set up a target of 227, and the Indian first class side was able to chase it down in 33.4 overs, after losing just one wicket. Revanna Chethan and Nikin Jose hit centuries for the second consecutive time. Karnataka now leads the series 2-1.

This was absolutely a blowout from Sri Lanka. They did not give Afghanistan any chance in this match. Afghanistan obviously did not have anything substantial on the board. That's why it did not matter how Afghanistan was going to bowl in the second innings. 117 is never a good enough target in a 50 over match. Does not matter if you have the best bowlers in the world in your team.

Namibia was unable to score well. In a pitch like this, they should have scored a lot more. I don't think even 320 was going to be enough. Of course they were not able to defend 227.

The results of both these matches were completely unexpected for me. After watching Afghanistan's performance in the first match, I don't think they will be beaten so badly. The performance of Afghanistan's batsmen in the second and third matches was very poor. And the poor performance of the batsmen is the reason for the poor condition of Afghanistan. On the other hand, in the second match against Karnataka, the Namibian team won by batting for a target of 361 runs. This was a completely unexpected result. After seeing the result of this match I thought Namibia will win the third match as well. But today the team was badly defeated.

Upon the first match win the expectation on Afghanistan increased. Even in the second ODI, Afghanistan scored close to 200 runs. In the last and much expected match, Afghanistan have done the worst performance scoring just 116 runs. Sri Lanka have chased the target in a much simple way losing just a wicket. Dushmantha Chameera have took 4 wickets for 63 runs. The bowling economy is high whereas Wanindu Hasaranga have bowled well with the best economy of 1.62rpo and took 3 wickets.

I don't understand what Afghanistan played today. They lost all wickets for just 116 runs. Several players in the Afghanistan squad have played in the IPL. I thought after performing on a platform like IPL maybe their experience has increased a bit. They will play well in the series against Sri Lanka. And in the first match, Sri Lanka team performed well and defeated Afghanistan. But I was very disappointed with their performance in the next two matches. Sri Lanka reached the target of victory in just 16 overs. I thought we would see a better performance from Afghanistan in the next World Cup. But after watching their performance against Sri Lanka, it no longer seems so.

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan match was really a boring match as such game is very rare in T20 too. How can an ODI match end at 116/120 runs?  In 50 overs, Afghanistan lost all wickets in just 22.2 overs and scored only 116 runs and Sri Lanka won the match by scoring 120 runs in just 16 overs.  Afghanistan played really badly.  In the second ODI too, where Sri Lanka set Afghanistan a target of 323 runs, Afghanistan managed to score only 191 runs.  However, Afghanistan managed to win the first ODI against Sri Lanka. looking at today's match, Afghanistan looks very weak in the game of cricket

Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka and Afghanistan square off against each other in the third and final ODI match to clinch the series. As Sri Lanka won the toss and batted in the second ODI match, Afghanistan followed the same pattern in the third ODI match  they won the toss and decided to bat first. But their batting decision after winning the toss against Sri Lanka was not right as they had already lost 5 wickets for 77 runs.
With the way they lost wickets early on, Afghanistan could probably muster 170 to 190 runs in the first innings. 170 to 190 runs can never be a safe score to win in ODI cricket.

The Series is won by Srilanka.  Smiley

Srilanka won comfortably in the end with 9 wickets. I did not expect a one-sided match where they only had to chase 116 runs in the final ODI match.  Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne easily chased down this score by making 50+ runs both of them. The opener from Sri Lanka single-handedly chased this score as they lost their first wicket at 84 runs.

Afghanistan did win the first ODI match but after that the next two matches, the Sri Lankan team won by a big margin. They won the 2nd ODI by 132 runs and this last ODI with 9 wickets.

Yes dear Srilankan team performing really well. And bowling excellently.
It's really disappointed results from such an experienced and high quality player of Afghanistan team, after result I taught it's may be T20 match because total were really really low, Firstly Afghanistan has no ODI big name player who can make consistently significant runs in ODI format like baber and Kohli or any other batter, they love T20 format and they were known for best in T20, the only player who make some decent were ibraham but after his dismissal no one hold wickets, but credit of this victory goes to SiriLankan because through his bowling they put opponent entire team in trouble and then chase the small target without facing any trouble...

When it comes to ODI batting, Afghanistan seems to struggle. Although they have some really good stroke players in the T20I format, they lack experience in ODIs which makes it difficult for them to handle pressure and save games from collapse. While, Sri Lanka managed to win their last two games after losing the first ODI, which shows how strong they've came out as a team. So, congratulate team Sri Lanka on their well-deserved victory in the series.
Afghanistan lost all their wickets for just 116 runs in a game of 50 overs ‍and with the less run, the team could not create any hindrance for the opposition of Sri Lanka. Though they have a good reputation in the T20 format, but the team's condition in ODIs is drastically bad. If Afghanistan can't improve their game then the journey of world cricket will not be good. In the 3rd match of this series, Afghanistan lost all wickets for 116 but Sri Lanka easily won by just 9 wickets.

A 50-over match between Namibia and Karnataka is underway at Windhoek. This is the 3rd match of the series, which is currently tied 1-1. Karnataka won the toss and asked Namibia to bat first. Namibia managed a total of only 226, before they were bowled out. Zane Green made an unbeaten 65 for Namibia, while Bernard Scholtz made 59. The partnership between these two helped Namibia to recover from a position of 92/7 to 226. For Karnataka, Shubhang Hegde picked up 3 wickets, while Vijaykumar Vyshak the IPL sensation picked up two.
