New Zealand managed to collect 274 runs. They lost all the wickets. Finn Allen scored 51 runs for the team. The performance of the Sri Lankan bowlers was quite good. Chamika Karunaratne in particular gave a great performance. He managed to pick up four wickets. He gave 43 runs in 9 overs.
I don't think the pitch is conducive to batting. The bowlers were getting enough advantage on this pitch. So if the bowlers of New Zealand are able to bowl controlled then it will be easy for New Zealand to win this match. Moreover, the performance of Sri Lankan batsmen is not regular.

If the performance of Sri Lankan team was good so here is the New Zealand. As I said the New Zealand team is looking strong. Now Sri Lankan team is near to match loss. They made only 56 runs in 16 overs at the Run Rate of 3.5.
And surprisingly lost 7 wickets. So match is giving full favor to New Zealand team. And soon we will see that the New Zealand has won the match.

1st ODI Match Sri Lanka Cricket Team vs New Zealand Cricket Team. In today's match, the New Zealand cricket team batted in the first innings and set a target of 275 runs to the Sri Lankan cricket team. The Sri Lankan cricket team went into bat in the second innings and the Sri Lankan cricket team is in a wicket crisis. Unexpected batting by Sri Lankan cricket team. Lankan batsmen can't stand straight in front of New Zealand bowlers. Very weak Sri Lankan cricket team batting. Sri Lanka have lost 5 wickets and scored only 35 runs in 11 overs so far, looking at the game it is easy to imagine that the Sri Lankan team is going to lose by a huge margin against New Zealand.

Sri Lanka tour has already started in New Zealand's 1st ODI match today. New Zealand came out to bat first. New Zealand couldn't play the entire over today. New Zealand team batsmen had to leave the field with all out. They gave a target of 274 runs in 49.3 overs. Now Sri Lanka came out to bat. Scored 18 runs in 4 overs. But so far Sri Lanka has lost 2 strong wickets. New Zealand's bowlers have started bowling well.

Sri Lanka have lost two wickets for 20 runs in six overs so far. New Zealand bowlers are able to bowl brilliantly at the moment which is putting the Sri Lankan batsmen under a lot of pressure. If Sri Lanka is to do well now, they need to build a bigger partnership. Otherwise this match will be impossible for Sri Lanka to secure victory.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand

Today is the first ODI match in these two teams. Which has been started Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl first. Both teams are good and will try to their best to win this match. Now the New Zealand made 34 runs in 4 overs and the Current Run Rate is 8.5. I think if the New Zealand team will make 350+ runs so it will be little bit difficult to chase by the Sri Lankan team. By the way I can't predict now in the start of match. But I think New Zealand is looking strong.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka today. New Zealand have so far scored 71 runs in 13 overs with the loss of 2 wickets. Their run rate is good at 5.46. But they have lost 2 wickets. Today it seems that Sri Lanka will not be able to win because New Zealand is a strong team from Sri Lanka. In the ranking New Zealand is number 3, Sri Lanka is number 8. Also playing on New Zealand soil their strength is different.

Watching this match live on Amazon PrimeVideo. There seems to be hardly any support for the bowlers in the pitch, and as you mentioned a total of 350+ looks very likely here. Chad Bowes, the latest South African import is out for 14, and now Will Young and Finn Allen are trying to stabilize the innings. Bowes is not the only South African import in the Kiwi XI. They also have Glenn Phillips. And then they have Ish Sodhi, who was born in Ludhiana. Influx of players from South Africa and India is helping New Zealand cricket without any doubt.

As expected Sanju Samson has started questioning SKY. Shashi Tharoor has been vocal about Sanju Samson not being part of the Indian 11. After the IPL If his performance is better than SKY then I think he will be of the Indian 11 in the world cup.

~~~~

Elections are due in around 12 months from now, and Shashi Tharoor knows that he can't win without the support from the Christian voters (~25% in his consistency). The reason why he remembers Samson all of a sudden is just because he needs votes from that particular section. Samson was given plenty of chances previously and now the BCCI should consider some of the other promising youngsters to replace SKY (if needed). There is no comparison between SKY and Samson. SKY is miles ahead in terms of consistency and skills.

Shashi Tharoor as a character has a "weak knees" reputation due to his flirtatious behavior.

But IMO as a politician he's one of the sane voices and he hardly needs an appeasement tactic for votes, ok maybe sometimes but not every statement is related to vote bank politics, especially when it comes to cricket. I firmly believe that he loves Indian cricket and from time to time gives his opinion as a fan, one might agree or disagree with it but that's a different ballgame.

In the test series New Zealand proved they're strong in the home ground than playing away. With the ODI series we can expect similar performance coming out of New Zealand team. Sri Lanka have won the ODI series against Australia last year and later it have played against Afghanistan and leveled 1-1, played against India and lost 3-0. This time it should have corrected itself and New Zealand might be on the better side which can be handled well by Sri Lanka players with better plans.

As I said, Every country takes the home advantage. Not only against teams outside of the sub-continent. Asian Batters are used to play in spin cricket and they understand the condition better than other countries. But, Still when you will see teams like India and Pakistan Struggling against Bangladesh in Bangladesh. it's not surprising. Because they playing in their own backyard and they know how the pitch will behave. England is the only team who win the ODI series in Bangladesh in the last ten years. This means All countries (Except England) lost a series against Bangladesh in Bangladesh in the last ten years Including India, Pakistan, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and West Indies as well.

Home advantage is surely big advantage for the teams, but now it's time for them to work on their quality as well because their record in big events and away is never been ideal which is also important for all teams currently in Asia we have five test playing nations and with this all Bangladesh is surely at the bottom of list even right now Afghanistan having better results even they are not able to play at home.

Currently, India and Bangladesh are doing good for the home series, but both lost as England won in Bangladesh and Australia won in India with this we can feel how changes are happening around sporting world with this all know it's good time for having changes in their system and performance as well which will give them better intention from the top teams in near future.

This is shocking news for me as well because sacking Julian Nagelsmann at this point is surely setback for the Bayern Munich while they are going to face tough challenges in coming weeks with first against Borussia Dortmund for the Bundesliga title and then having opponent like Manchester City which is currently at their best with this all things looking uncertain about their win in these competitions even Thomas Tuchel is experienced coach, and he can bring better strategy straight away but still now things looking not positive for the Bayern Munich in this season.

Nagelsmann's sacking comes ahead of Bayern Munich's tough fixtures ahead. The team has a history of success and talented players so we can be optimistic. While a coaching change can be unsettling it is possible that the decision was made in the best interest of the team. Let's hope for the best for Bayern Munich's future success.

I agree with you as well. Bangladesh plays fearless cricket when they play in their home ground. But they cannot do the same in away matches. Because as we know, every country know their own condition and they feel comfortable on their home ground. Sub-continent pitches never were easy for outside subcontinent teams. They knew the piches will be spin friendly. In this series, it was different. I would say it was fairly sporting wicket where most Bangladeshi players played aggressively. Ireland has many rooms to improve. I hope they will do better in the future.

I totally agree with your analysis that Bangladesh play fearless cricket when they play at their home ground. I think it is important to recognize that playing away from home is always difficult especially when facing teams that know their home conditions better. That being said the recent series between Bangladesh and Ireland featured some brilliant performances from both sides, and it was refreshing to see a wicket that was quite the game. While Ireland may have some areas for improvement I believe they have the potential to do better in the future. Overall this was an interesting series to watch and I look forward to watching both teams grow and develop.

Bangladesh has shown some really good performance in last couple of series on their homeground and recent series with Ireland is an addition to that but the question is Bangladesh will perform same on international ground in upcoming tournament or not ? Time will tell how things will be with stronger teams .

If the Bangladesh team had been able to do the performance against Ireland against any other strong team then the Bangladesh team would have felt quite worthy in the ODI format. I think it's natural to beat Ireland like that.

The Zimbabwean party will be able to grow stronger with government support and funding. Zimbabwe has a number of talented players in its squad. But the Zimbabwean board is not able to find the right talented players. Government support is required for this. The people of Zimbabwe are very interested in cricket. Still, the Zimbabwean squad is weak. With proper facilities and support from the government, this group will be able to become stronger in the future. Right now the Zimbabwean team is completely dependent on Sikandar Raza's performance.

Government support and funding can certainly help improve infrastructure and facilities for cricket in a country. This can help identify and nurture talented players provide them with better training and development opportunities and build a strong national team. It is also important for the Cricket Board in Zimbabwe to work towards creating a more sustainable and equitable structure for the development of the game in the country. This can include investing in grassroots programs creating pathways for young players to progress through the ranks and building stronger partnerships with local communities. The success of the Zimbabwean cricket team will depend on a number of factors including the ability and dedication of its players the support and investment from the government and cricket board and the overall infrastructure and culture of the game in the country.

Zimbabwe is certainly not as strong as it was before. So a lot of investors are also not showing interest in Zimbabwe cricket. Especially when the investors say that the squad is not having a reliable helping hand from the government, they are generally going to think that this is not a good place to invest. We can often see that a lot of players in Zimbabwe, even some of the popular players of the squad, do not have any sponsor logo on their bat. That's because they have not been able to present themselves as well as some other teams have been able to, like Afghanistan. Afghanistan is not a very good cricketing power, or at least not very big. But they have certainly made their presence felt. I think if Zimbabwe concentrates on the t20 format, they will probably be able to achieve that as well.

Yes, Bangladesh team performs so well at times that any strong team is not a big obstacle for them. But one thing I have noticed is that as aggressive as they are at home ground, they have a major weakness away from home. If they can perform well out side of their country then they can stay at the top position in any format. But regrettably they often fail to do so. Especially they cannot play on bounce pitches. Because of which they have to lose to the big cricket countries.

If the election is the reason for tweeting in favor of Sanju Samson then I think he is a fool. Instead of working on the real issues faced by people of his constituents and just tweeting for Samson to get votes from his fans in the upcoming election is not something Shashi Tharoor is known for. He is a fanboy of cricket and has tweeted numerous times about cricket. According to me, he is a genuine fan of Samson, and this is not the first time that he has tweeted in support of him.

Some defeats are never accepted. As the Netherlands lost against Zimbabwe yesterday. A one run loss is really painful. But the result of the game could not be like this. Because the middle order to lower order batsmen were not able to sustain the game in the way that the Dutch first row batsmen were starting. Tom Cooper's run out knocked the Netherlands out of the match. But before he was out, the Netherlands had a very good score. Had the middle-order batsmen provided a bit of support after his dismissal, the match would have gone in the Netherlands' favour.

Zimbabwe came back strongly into the game when two consecutive Dutch batsmen made their way to the pavilion for golden ducks. Congratulations Zimbabwe.

Cricket is a game of surprises and shocking results same happened in this match as first Netherlands were at the top and this was looking another easy win for them but in dead overs Sikandar Raza and Wessly Madhevere done impressive job for their team and won this match by just one run which is surely amazing win for them after losing first match narrowly.

But here Netherlands doing good job against team like Zimbabwe which is having many ups and downs and their recent performance is also not good because look like now they are having no chance for improving their quality and performance with this current system which is having many issues but still they are doing good in shorter formats and can stay in touch for the better results.

Despite the economic challenges facing Zimbabwe the International Cricket Council (ICC) distributes funds to its member countries based on various factors including performance development initiatives and governance. While the Dutch economy may be more stable and potentially more government funding for the sport, economic stability is not the only determining factor in the growth and development of cricket. Cricket is a complex game and team performance can fluctuate due to various reasons.It is important to acknowledge Zimbabwe's rich history in cricket and the many talented players they have produced. Ultimately the future of cricket in any country depends on various factors including economic stability governance talent development and on field performance. It is important to support all cricket playing countries and work for the growth and development of the game globally.

ICC funding alone can't be enough to promote cricket in the country, government support is must and if there is no supprt from government side then you have problem promoting cricket in the country. Zimbabwe was one of great test teams when players like Grant flower and Andy flower were part of team in late 90s but since then it's complete fall. Recently Zimbabwe participated in T20 World Cup and it gave hope that Zimbabwe may bounce back but its proving to be false once again after seeing there performance in bilateral series.

The Zimbabwean party will be able to grow stronger with government support and funding. Zimbabwe has a number of talented players in its squad. But the Zimbabwean board is not able to find the right talented players. Government support is required for this. The people of Zimbabwe are very interested in cricket. Still, the Zimbabwean squad is weak. With proper facilities and support from the government, this group will be able to become stronger in the future.
