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.

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.The match was delayed due to rain.

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.

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.

Sri Lanka team showed their home advantage and won the first ODI match by a huge margin against New Zealand. 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.

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.

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.

Will Young and Tim Robinson have opened the game for New Zealand. The 7 overs have already passed and they are not playing with a good run rate and at the same time, they are not playing as per the required run rate which is over 8. The target is high, they have to boost their speed otherwise this game would not be good for New Zealand later. . Let's see what will happen in the next overs of the game, I am supporting to the New Zealand and also I did bet on them that is why I want to see them winner.
Firstly after SiriLankan scored 300+ I taught new Zealand will give tough fight back to them and they actually does a bit especially at start of thier innings till 80+ runs partnership but later on in just upcoming three to four overs they firstly lost their vital partnership and then bunch of important wickets which execute huge huge pressure on their upcoming batter due to which they even unable to hold his wicket long and can't even match the required run rate which lead them to the important victory and thus even having things is control at early they lose everything. Anyway according to scoredboard SiriLankan build more then 200+ phenomenal partnership after lose of one wicket which really put them on strong position to victory and also make thier bowlers more confident while Target defend

finally Bangladesh lost to Afghanistan in the third ODI match by a huge margin of 5 wickets, losing the third match to Afghanistan they also lost the ODI series against them. I would blame Bangladesh's loss in that match yesterday on the uncontrolled bowling and bad fielding by the Bangladeshi bowlers. Moreover, Bangladesh could not score many runs despite batting first. I was surprised to see Mehdi Hasan Miraj's batting, it seemed as if he was playing a test match. Bangladesh team did not do well in batting but they should have done well in bowling and fielding they also failed to do that which resulted in them losing the match to Afghanistan.
As the series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan is already over, Bangladesh should focus on their upcoming series. Because Bangladesh will face the West Indies in the upcoming series, they may have to face a tough test there as well.
Afghanistan won the final match of series with good note winning by 5 wickets against Bangladesh. Bangladesh poor fielding and bowling performance cost him to lost the series. The Bangladeshi fielder was very poor and missed many catch chances which led to Rahmanullah Gurbaz scoring 100 runs and lead the team to victory. The Player of the match award to Azmatullah Omarzai for his outstanding all round performance in bowling they picked 4 important wickets by just giving only 37 runs and in batting they scored match winning 70 runs and remain unbeaten. Bangladesh team should learn from their mistakes. i think Bangladesh team should focus on their fielding and bowling and need improvement if they want to perform well in the upcoming matches and in the Champions Trophy.As the series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan is already over, Bangladesh should focus on their upcoming series. Because Bangladesh will face the West Indies in the upcoming series, they may have to face a tough test there as well.

It may be very difficult for the New Zealand team to win this match today as they still need 122 runs from just 67 balls to win. At the moment, the way the New Zealand batsmen are batting, their run rate is not good at all. New Zealand batsmen need to score 10.93 runs per over to win this match but they are now scoring runs at 6.25 per over. The less runs the New Zealand cricket team batsmen score per over, the more pressure will be on them, As a result they will keep losing wickets.I think if the New Zealand cricket team loses to Sri Lanka today it will be because of their poor bowling performance. The performance of the Sri Lankan batsmen in today's match will prove how bad the New Zealand bowling has performed today.

Now match is completely under control of Sri Lanka which have good comeback thanks to good and spirited bowling by Maheesh Theekshana and Charith Asalanka as we have start from New Zealand things were looking favorable for them, but now it's all ended for them 88 for 1 from 13.2 overs to now 110 for 5 in 18 overs telling all story about New Zealand chase in this game.I think if the New Zealand cricket team loses to Sri Lanka today it will be because of their poor bowling performance.

After win of toss and have bat first was good decision by Sri Lanka as they have 324 for 5 in 49 overs thanks to Kusal Mendis 143 and Avishka Fernando 100 which helps them for having this huge target good thing we have match end with result because rain have some interruption which was looking not good because fans now not love things like these which bring problems in this game.

Sri Lanka looks set for a massive total. They are 305/4 after 47 overs, and if they can keep up with the current momentum, then they may get to a total of 330-340. Kiwi bowlers have been expensive and the track at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium was not offering them any support at all. Jacob Duffy was the only bowler who looked impressive. Debutant Nathan Smith went for more than 7 runs per over, while Michael Bracewell went for more than 8 runs per over. Advantage Sri Lanka at the moment.
The Srilankan team had successfully reached 324 runs in the last set of overs.Because after a long back,the Srilanka cricket team scoring above 300 runs in the ODI.Because all the senior player of the Srilanka dominating the entire team.After he retirement of them,Srilanka suffered a lot and we able to see in the World Cup matches of 2023.The same was reflected in the T20 World Cup matches,this tour of New Zealand on Srilanka.The home ground advantage was still with the Srilankan team,the current target for the New Zealand is 65 runs from 17 balls is almost not possible to the New Zealand team in this match.

Netherlands played quite well here and their batting performance was also very good but unfortunately they lost by just one run. Basically the Netherlands team could not play with their wickets due to which they could not score a single run and even though they had 5 overs left they had no wickets. If they could have scored a single run then the match would have been drawn but their batting performance was not that good then due to which they had to lose against Oman. Yes currently Oman is a much better team with 14 points for which they are in fifth position and Netherlands is in fourth position. Since the points of these three teams Netherlands Scotland and Oman are equal, each team will play well in the next match to increase their points. The difference in points between these two teams Canada and United Arab Emirates is equal for which they are in the top position of the points table.
The last of tournament match between Netherlands and Oman was held at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket ground. Netherlands team won the toss and elected to fielding first. Oman team one more time they beated and this time they won game by 1 runs very close match and close win. Oman made a record total runs for 155 and they won the match have a low target. Netherlands did not complete record total runs for 154 and lost the match. I hope Netherlands they will play better in the next upcoming tournament. Oman team l have made their fans very happy with outstanding gameplay. This showed great skill a determination on the field. The best bowling batting performance in Oman team was showed by Aamir Kaleem and she bowled out 4 wickets and 10 overs and conceded 24 runs. Aamir Kaleem is a very talented women for Netherlands. Congratulations to Netherlands team. November 13, 2024, 11:34:22 AM

They are trying to retain wickets and also try to increase the run rate. But if it doesn't rain again, they will have a chance. But Target 221 is no less. If New Zealand's required run-rate ratio falls behind, it will be difficult for them to recover. But since they have wickets I think if they play the whole match there will definitely be a chance to win. At this moment 11 overs are played but their current run rate is only 6.91 and required run rate is 9.06 I think New Zealand need to reduce this gap quickly otherwise once they get pressure they will surely lose this match. The target score is much higher if you imagine it as a T20 match. November 13, 2024, 11:33:07 AM
Revised target for the New Zealand is 221 in 27 overs as we have interruption due to rain this is huge setback for the Sri Lanka which score 324 runs in 49.2 overs, but now things are favorable for the visitors with this revised target.
In chase of this target we have good start for the New Zealand both openers doing impressive job have 76 runs in 11 overs even required rate is still over @9 but as we have start of inning for New Zealand look like they can finish this match as winner of first ODI after having draw in Twenty/20 matches series against same opponent.

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.
