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.

Yes Sri Lankan batsmen have already managed to collect more than 300 runs in this match today. The way Sri Lankan batsmen started their batting performance in the first ODI of the series between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, everyone thought that they might put up a big score today. In this match, two batsmen of Sri Lanka, Avishka Fernando and Kushal Mendis, gave an excellent batting performance, mainly based on these two batsmen, Sri Lankan cricket team was able to collect a lot of runs today. This ODI match between these two teams is currently suspended due to rain.
The New Zealand team that beat England in three consecutive Tests a few days ago scored 324 runs in the Sri Lanka ODI against New Zealand with four balls still to play. Earlier two T20 matches were played between New Zealand and Sri Lanka and these two T20 matches were won separately by New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The first innings of the first ODI match is yet to be completed as it is currently suspended due to rain. But with the runs that Sri Lanka have been able to score, I would say if they can bowl a bit better, they can have a chance of winning against New Zealand. And if Sri Lanka can win the first match against New Zealand then a win in either of the next two matches will ensure their series win.

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.

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.

New players should be given a place in the team and if the performance of the experienced players is not enough, then the team management should make more changes. I have seen a combination of new and experienced players in the list of players in the New Zealand team and it is expected that they will be able to show good performance. Sri Lanka team won the toss and decided to bat and New Zealand bowlers are bowling well but the experienced batsmen of the Sri Lanka team are handling it quite well. As of writing, Sri Lanka's total is 83 runs for 1 wicket in 15.5 overs.

Sri Lanka has performed better than what was expected from them in the recent months. And the form continues in this match as well. At the moment they are 181/1 after 31 overs, with Kusal Mendis and Avishka Fernando out there at the crease with half-centuries. The only wicket to fall so far has been picked up by Jacob Duffy. Apart from that, neither the pacers nor the spinners have been able to get any breakthroughs for the Kiwis. The Kiwis included 4 spinners for today's match BTW (Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell, Ish Sodhi and Glenn Phillips).

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.

Yes, Sri Lanka is capable of winning at home ground with the improvement in their performance and the way they are playing. However, it may not be so easy for Sri Lanka to win the match against New Zealand, because New Zealand is a very strong team. Since the Sri Lanka captain has decided to bat after winning the toss, then of course they know the pitch conditions here, which is why he has taken this decision. If Sri Lanka can chase a big target, then it will be easy to beat New Zealand, besides, Sri Lanka's current performance is very strong. However, we have seen that India was defeated by New Zealand at their home ground, so if Sri Lanka can perform strongly on such a ground, then New Zealand will be able to beat them. However, if such runs are made on today's pitch, then maybe New Zealand will have a chance to win because their bowling and batting are good.

Looking at New Zealand's XI, I am not at all optimistic about them. Against Sri Lanka's current performance, New Zealand's players will not be able to produce a good result. I bet New Zealand will not perform well given their position. Except for 2-3 players of ODI XI none of the players could play well in international cricket. None of them have the ability to perform in international cricket so far.

I am not criticizing the New Zealand team, just looking at their squad it is clear that winning the series is not their main goal. Their main goal in this series is to create new players. With a young team against an experienced team like Sri Lanka, New Zealand's match is more than difficult to win. Sri Lanka's current performance will also prove this sentence.
Not to criticize New Zealand players but their performance is not going well at all. After whitewashing India in the Tests, naturally we expected to beat Sri Lanka but we can't expect them to perform this badly against Sri Lanka.
Today is the first ODI match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand but in this match it is expected that Sri Lanka is going to put up a big run score. So far Sri Lanka have collected 200 runs but only one wicket has fallen. So if Sri Lanka can bat till 50 overs then surely the score of runs will be 350. In this case, it is believed that the chances of going to New Zealand will be very low.

Sri Lanka and New Zealand are going to face each other in the first ODI of the series today in Dambulla. There is no doubt that Sri Lanka is strong in the home series. Sri Lankan players are well aware of the home pitches. Sri Lanka is also capable of performing well in home conditions.

Sri Lanka captain decided to bat after winning the toss. And I think it is the right decision. Because the pitch of Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium is not batting friendly. It is very difficult to score big on this pitch. More importantly, it is very difficult to bat on the target on this pitch. The average collection on this pitch of Dambulla in the first innings is 212 runs and the average collection in the second innings is 175 runs. I am not expecting a high score in today's match either.
Sri Lanka choose to bat first but it seems that they will not be able to bat at least for now as the match has been stopped due to rain.  Only one ball was bowled by Jacob Duffy and then the rain came.  By the way, Wanindu Hasaranga is not playing today as he is injured. Dilshan Madushanka and Jeffrey Vandersay come in the replacement.

Also there are lot of changes in the New Zealand ODI squad. There are three new players who will be having their debutants.  Also Lockie Ferguson is injured from New Zealand team and Adam Milne will be playing instead. The sad news is that the rain is get heavier and they have now covered 75% of the ground with covers.

I can see some new players in this New Zealand squad. I have never seen these players perform before. New Zealand's squad is lacking in experienced players today. New Zealand should have fielded a squad with experienced players on this Sri Lankan pitch. However, I still expect to see a competitive match. Since the pitch is bowling friendly, if New Zealand's bowlers do well, Sri Lanka will not be able to score big.

Sri Lanka has scored 32 runs in 5 overs. The team is scoring at an average of 6.4 runs per over. However, Sri Lanka has already lost the wicket of opener Pathum Nissanka. Pathum Nissanka has been dismissed after scoring 12 runs from 10 balls.

Srilanka Vs New Zealand

Today is the first one day match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, this game will start in a few days time. However if we check the previous games and analyses who will win this game. The T20 series was equal for the both teams, one match has won by the Sri Lanka and one match has won by the New Zealand in the T20 series. I think the team who wins the first game will get such a valuable lead on the one day series as well. 

A lot of hope resides on Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka to give a strong batting start for the Sri Lanka team. Sri Lanka will have an advantage of home ground as match is in Dambulla.

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.
Yes you are right Netherlands played exciting match against Oman but lost by just one run. Their batting was impressive, but losing crucial wickets stopped them from scoring. With five overs left they could not recover. One more run would have tied game but Oman played better and won. Oman now has 14 points ranking fifth while Netherlands is fourth. Netherlands Scotland and Oman are tied making their next matches crucial. Meanwhile Canada and the United Arab Emirates lead table with equal points, setting up thrilling finale.
When a match is lost by just 1 run after playing a full innings, the match is regrettable for the fans and embarrassing situation for the team members as well. Maybe if they could have scored 2 runs more with one ball or hit a boundary and got a few more runs then they would not have lost by 1 run. However, these thoughts have no basis. In the match, Oman set a target of just 155 runs while the Netherlands lost all their wickets for just 154 runs. Kyle Klein was doing well as the low order batsman but his teammate Aryan Dutt couldn't get the expected 1 run. If he not dropped him in that catch, the match would have been a certain win for the Netherlands.

To be honest, I am also very underwhelmed by Oman's performance in recent matches. Oman players are able to perform well in every match. Oman does not have any experienced players in the squad. Still, Oman's players try hard to perform well. Also the players are very hardworking. This is why we have seen Oman win the last three matches.

Teams like USA, UAE and Nepal are new but Netherlands team is quite old. The Netherlands has long been associated with cricket. On the other hand, the Oman team is new. I have been watching Oman matches for probably a year and a half. Oman's squad has several weaknesses. Oman's batting order is quite weak. Oman's batting order is weak mainly due to the lack of experienced batsmen. However, Oman's squad has several talented bowlers. This is why we have seen Oman team winning consistently in the last few matches.

Quite disappointed with the Dutch performance yesterday. Being one of the top associate nations, they need to win these type of matches to maintain the same level of funding from the ICC. Oman is not being considered as one of the stronger associate sides. And also, they don't have a single Omani citizen in their squad. Also, they way they lost was quite sobering. They needed just 156 to win, and then fell short by just 1 run. And this time they had the county stars in their side such as Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann and Timm van der Gugten. 

Well, we cannot blame the Netherlands team as they did not lose by a big margin. Had they made one more run, the match would have been drawn. They still have 5 overs left in the match but they lost all their wickets. Also among other teams Oman is a much better team as compared to Namibia, Nepal or United Arab Emirates.  Oman are on the 5th position on the points table and equal in points with the Netherlands and Scotland.

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.

Afghanistan played very hard and well in this last match and won this match and also the series.Bangladesh batsmen stopped a lot of runs while they could have given a target of 300.  After that they took 8 wickets and they put pressure due to which Bangladesh could not play well.  And Afghanistan won this match by playing well on their side although if Bangladesh had worked hard on their side they could have put pressure on Afghanistan and won the match.Afghanistan have played this series with a good manner and hard work and won it.  Although they have lost one match, but their hard work is not less in two matches due to which they have managed to win this series.It has not been resolved by Bangladesh in the series due to lack of effort from Bangladesh.
No matter how optimistic we are about Bangladesh, until Bangladesh can fix their opening, it is not possible to expect anything good from Bangladesh for now. Tanjid Hasan came to the opening and got out very quickly and at that moment Bangladesh was under a lot of pressure. A team can never get off to a good start if the opening batsman is not good, if the opening batsman is not good then a team can never get off to a good start.
Bangladesh would have never done well if they had not performed well mainly because of the middle order batsmen scoring some runs. However, in the third match, I was hopeful that maybe Bangladesh would win the series but that did not happen, instead Afghanistan won the series with Rahmanullah Gurbaz's amazing century by performing well in the match. However, fortune always favors the brave.  It is natural that Afghanistan won the series because Afghanistan performed well.
