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...

After winning the toss and batting first, Afghanistan faced disaster. Afghanistan did not show any signs of strength in the last match. Afghanistan managed to score just 116 runs in the last match in 22.2 overs losing all wickets. Sri Lanka did not have to face any major disaster while playing with a target of 116 runs. Sri Lanka reached the target of 120 runs in just 16 overs. Therefore, Sri Lanka easily won the series with a margin of 1-1. Congratulations Sri Lanka Cricket Team. Because they won the match today with great power.
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.
Today Afghanistan were all out for 116 runs in 22.2 overs.Afghanistan team gave a target of so few runs to make the batsmen of Afghanistan team perform poorly.Chameera of Sri Lanka team showed a great performance in today's match.Chameera took 4 wickets with 63 runs in 9 overs.W Hasaranga took 3 wickets with 7 runs in 4.2 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka was out with 51 runs off 34 balls. Dimuth Karunaratne scored 56 runs off 45 balls. Sri Lanka won today's match by 9 wickets. 
Sri Lanka v Afghanistan Today match Afghanistan opt bat. In this match Sri Lanka is showing great bowling performance at their home ground. They have already put Afghanistan's batting under pressure. Sri Lanka's bowling is excellent and they have taken more wickets in a short period of time for which Afghanistan's runs are very low in the match. The way Afghanistan's wickets are falling, it looks like it will be very difficult for them to score 120 runs. Because already the total score of Afghanistan is 8 wickets 17.2 over 92 runs although they are under a lot of pressure in the match.
Afghanistan chose to bat first in the match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan today. Sri Lanka placed Afghanistan batting order under a great deal of duress with an outstanding bowling effort on their home pitch. Their bowlers excelled by getting quick wickets which made it difficult for Afghanistan to score runs. It seemed incredibly difficult for Afghanistan to post a total of 120 runs when the score was 92 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in just 17.2 overs. The constant wicket loss indicated a challenging path in front of them. Now that the match is over it seems like my prediction was rather accurate. All of Afghanistan players were out but they still managed to set a target of 116 runs in 22.2 overs. Sri Lanka easily won the match taking 9 wickets in the process. Afghanistan performance in this match was undoubtedly poor.Although Afghanistan's bowling line-up was strong, they had nothing to do in this match as the runs were very short and Sri Lanka did not bat with any pressure on this target as a result of which the Sri Lankan batsmen did not play any wrong shots. As the Sri Lankan batsmen did not play any wrong shots, the Afghanistan bowlers could not make any impact on the Sri Lankan batsmen in this short target.

The 3rd ODI match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan brings an exciting conclusion to the series. Despite Afghanistan winning the toss and electing to bat first their decision seemed unfavorable as they had already lost 8 wickets for 92 runs in 18 Overs against Sri Lanka. With their early wicket losses Afghanistan first innings total may be limited to around 100 to 120 runs. Sri Lanka excellent bowling performance led by Dushmantha Chameera who claimed crucial 4 wickets contributed significantly to their success. Afghanistan finds themselves in a challenging position and Sri Lanka's bowlers have showcased their skills remarkably.
I did not understand whether he played T20 or ODI against Afghanistan. 10 batsmen could not play 25 overs in a 50 over game. T20s don't usually score as low as Afghanistan did in the ODI against Sri Lanka when they were bowled out for just 116 runs. There is no pressure for Sri Lanka to win if they score two runs per over they can win. There is no fun watching such a match. The way the Afghanistan batsmen came and went on the wicket looked like they had a lot of stars and the sooner they could finish this game the better for them. I did not see any player batting with responsibility in the moment of pressure.
West Indies set a target of 307 runs to the United Arab Emirates.This is undoubtedly a big target for the UAE though as they have many, many talented players. But not as experienced as West Indies players. Ali Naseer and Basil Hameed both scored fairly well against West Indies. If there was a partnership between the two players in the UAE like them, then they could have won this match against the West Indies.

Yes dear Srilankan team performing really well. And bowling excellently. We are looking Srilankan team limited the Afghanistan team to 120 runs. I don't think so Afghanistan will cross 120 runs because now they got 9 wickets. I was writing post and now all team out Afghanistan made 114 runs and gave the target of 115 runs. And I am pretty sure that Srilanka will win the match.

This happens with all of the inexperienced teams. Afghanistan had a big win in their first match. They started so well. But then they lost the second ODI and now they are going to lose their third ODI as well. There is no excuse to their performance, although supporters might claim that their performance is rusty since they were not playing international cricket for so long. But then, at least half a dozen Afghan players were part of the recently concluded IPL season. Many of them performed exceptionally well and it is ironic that the same players are underperforming now.

AFG today's match... 48/3(8.3)
Today's match is very important for Afghanistan and Sri Lanka as the team that wins today's match will win the series. However, early on Sri Lankan bowlers put a lot of pressure on the Afghan batting line which is enough for Sri Lanka to win today's match.
Don't worry! Today's match is very important for Afghanistan and Sri Lanka as the team that wins today's match will win the series. However, early on Sri Lankan bowlers put a lot of pressure on the Afghan batting line which is enough for Sri Lanka to win today's match.
Afghanistan most probably would lose the final match. They have already lost 4 wickets before even reaching 100 runs in the power play. Rashid Khan is yet to bat and at the moment Nabi is playing. Most probably they will give a target of 250 runs to a max. This was suppose to happen when you are playing against Srilanka on thier home ground. BTW, Afghanistan VS India bilateral series has been postponed UFN. The Indian team after the WTC would get a whole month to rest. Yesss @pakhitheboss you are completely right because today AFG will Lost the match and lost the series as too .
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.

United Arab Emirates Cricket Team vs West Indies Cricket Team. The second match of the ODI series between the two teams. Batting first, the West Indies cricket team set a target of 307 runs to the United Arab Emirates. A target of 307 runs is a lofty target for UAE. In order to meet the target in the second innings, the United Arab Emirates fell into a batting disaster at the beginning. 2 UAE openers fell early in the game. UAE's two opening batsmen played unexpected games. In today's match against West Indies cricket team, United Arab Emirates has 80% chance to lose.
West Indies is a very strong team in the current cricket world. In that case, despite giving a high run target, the UAE could not fulfill this run basket. The fall of wickets was high from the power play, and at the last moment the UAE were under wicket pressure which saw them run out of overs for 228 runs. And having lost two matches in a row, I would like to say something about the future in the third match as well since two matches were lost by huge runs. So they should have that much experience in bowling and batting should perform better in UAE.
I don't think that West Indies should be quite happy with a performance from yesterday's match. UAE team is mostly comprised of fringe players from various test nations and the margin of victory for West Indies was just 78 runs. And none of the West Indies players could hit a century, although Brandon King and Johnson Charles were involved in an opening partnership of 129 runs. And while bowling, they allowed the UAE to recover from a weak position at 95/5, to end up with a decent total of 228/7. Spin bowling in particular was looking weak.
West Indies play UAE in the second match of the ODI series. In today's match, West Indies won the toss and batted in the first innings losing all wickets and collecting 306 runs.
No doubt it's spectacular inning played by West Indies, two starting opner through Thier efforts and class build a strong partnership which give them a confidence to score a big target later middle order batter and some all-rounder type bolwer Carrey on the momentum and help his team to build a strong defendable target. While on the other side Thier main player Shahzad got dismissed before add some significant runs which really impact Thier performance, later middle order scored some decent runs but at that time it's not make any value because required run rate were on the sky..... 
West Indies collected 306 runs but the team was under a lot of pressure in the last moment. Although the run score is very good, the UAE will not be able to make up for it. Because there is not such a skilled player, West Indies have the best batting in this field. In this case, I would like to say that the UAE is not very ahead in terms of bowling, due to which it may have to lose today. And if a good run score can be collected in the powerplay with less wicket pressure then the game will be very tight. Because to win, you have to chase from the beginning.
The United Arab Emirates faced terrible situation early in the batting. 3 bowlers took a total of 3 wickets in the beginning. It is very easy to understand that the current situation of the team is not good because the team has managed to score only 53 runs after losing 3 wickets. Target 306 makes it a huge equation for them to recover from this situation. They can go ahead if able to form good partnership. West Indies will win the series by losing today's match. Because a big scoring match must have a good start. The pressure is gradually increasing.It is absolutely needless to say that West Indies got more than enough on the board to defend. Especially against a team like the UAE. Currently, the UAE needs 173 runs from 18.1 overs. And they only have 5 wickets in hand to get that. This is certainly not a very good situation for the UAE. I do not think the UAE will be able to win this match from this situation. The UAE currently needs more than 9.5 runs per over. This is almost an impossible task for them in my opinion.
In the 2nd ODI, West Indies played a better game and was able to score 306 runs. It is impossible for Ireland to make this big score and now the situation is that they need 130 runs in almost 40 balls.
On this batting wicket at Sharjah, Brandon King and Johnson Charles form West indies had a opening partnership of 129 runs and it was the perfect start for them to make this big total.
This is a one sided match and with today's win, West Indies will win the series and the last match will have no interest to watch. However can Ireland pull one last match in their favor:
