Netherland VS England

Today's third and final match between the Netherlands and England will be held. England set a new record by scoring 498 runs in the first match. However, in the second match, the performance of the Netherlands improved a lot. They were able to provide a target of 236 runs. Hopefully the Netherlands' performance in the last match will be better. Despite playing well with their batsmen, they are unable to put up any resistance against England due to a poor bowling lineup.
Yes, Netherland improved their batting and set a target of 244 in the last match which little better than previous match. Netherland all out at 244 as batting collapse happened, I can't imagine they went 203/3 to 244 all out. No wonder England will chase the total easily in a dominant way, so Netherland will be white-washed this ODI series.

It was in the hands of the Aussies with 184/4 and 5 runs per over required, while chasing 258. Australia are having a really tough time against the Sri Lankan spinners and the Lankans have identified that quite well, fielding 4 quality spinners into the squad. Still, I'd have never bet against the Aussies to chase that total down. A little reckless from the Aussies but overall, good bowling by the Sri Lankans.

The performance of the Australian batsmen was very poor. No other player has played better except Warner. Australia lost the fifth wicket for 189 runs in 35.5 overs. They needed only 69 runs to win in 14.1 overs. No batsman has played a big inning. Australia could have won this match if Maxwell had been able to play better. Sadly Australia has lost this series.
Warner scored a brilliant innings against a great spin attack, as none of the other batsmen were able to match it. I think Warner would probably take Australia's hopes of winning if he could survive. He neither scored a ton nor did his teammate perform. Seeing Sri Lanka play like this makes me very happy. Sri Lanka's spinner Charith Asalanka led Sri Lanka to a 20-year away win over Australia. I hope Sri Lanka continues to play such great cricket in the future.

What a proud moment for SL team and fans.

After 30 years they finally won a ODI bilateral against Australia at home. I'm surprised to see that how many spinners they had in the playing XI, tonight i counted like 4 and all of them were spinning the web around Aussie. At one time it was looking cakewalk for OZ but Waner's wicket changed the tide,

Even last over was bit tricky but skipper Shanaka did it, not convincely tho.
There is no doubt it's one of the greatest moment for Sri Lankan cricket history at very crucial time, but they have done amazing job with just 258 on board and team like Australia as opponent never thought they can do this while Warner was on crease my feeling was they will level this series but as he departs Sri Lankan were in complete control even Cummins also done good job, but this was not enough for them to have win in this match again in last over new blood Matthew Kuhnemann done good job in first five balls and change matches momentum, but good thing happen with Dasun Shanaka and other Sri Lankan players keep their faith and win this match and historic series which is big booster for them and their good future in cricket.
That's really big performance from Srilanka. Each and every player have contributed in winning the series after losing the first ODI. Setting a target of 258 runs and winning against a team like Australia is really appreciable. Australia lost an early wicket, but David Warner did the best till the seventh wicket, and none took the left position leading towards a win. Srilanka made history with the win, and lets wait for the test series. Surprises can happen.

I believed that Australia would easily crush Srilanka in this series, but the way Srilanka played throughout the series till now is commendable because it’s not easy to defeat Australia. Furthermore now I’m hoping that Srilanka can build on this series victory and start rising to the top again, because they used to be a competitive team in the past.

Australia is going to lose the fourth match as usual. It is very embarrassing for Australia to lose a series against such an inexperienced team. Australia needs 27 runs from 14 balls to win. But Australia lost 8 wickets. Had an experienced batsman at the crease, Australia might have won. Pat Cummins is still at the crease, scoring 27 off 37 balls. The performance of Sri Lankan bowlers is excellent. Sri Lanka may win today too.

Australia has lost their mojo. They are no longer the world champions who would destroy lower ranking teams even while paying in the sub-continent. There is no consistency in the performance of their players. Aaron Finch and Mitchell Marsh are too volatile, while Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith are proving again and again that they are not suitable for limited overs cricket. And in the bowling department, apart from Josh Hazlewood to a certain degree, none of the other bowlers are in good form. This is very different from the past, when Australian pace bowling used to be the best in the world.

If those silly run outs didn't happened then I am sure Srilanka would have scored more than 258 runs. Again the complete match was dominated by the Srilankan spinners. I pity David Warner got stumped brilliantly for just 99 runs. Srilankan won the series against Australia and hope Australia wins the last match in this series.

It is really hard to beat Aussie. Srilankan team played really well during the series.
In south Asian countries - the cricket fan are too emotional about their team.. I believer this has brought a fresh change in moods of the people in Srilanka as well.

Australia has lost three matches in a row. It was a completely unexpected outcome for us. I would not say that the Australian bowlers have played badly. The Australian bowlers performed well in almost every match. Australia has lost only because of poor batting. The performance of experienced players like Finch, Maxwell and Marsh in today's match was very poor.
There is no doubt it's big setback for Australia but here we have to appreciate Sri Lankan management as well because after losing T-20 series and first ODI they change things very drastically and bring some quality spinners which bring this big change and never allow Australian batsmen for playing freely which helps them for winning these three matches in a row.

Now, we have one last ODI and after this both teams are going to play two test matches series which is surely completely in favor of Australia but here we are going to watch some very entertaining cricket from both teams specially after having this ODI series which is changing Sri Lankan cricket in positive mod after very long time which have the worst results for home team.

It was a really close match and Sri Lanka managed to win the match. I never thought they will be able to pull off such a good result against a team like Australia. Both the teams played really well in the last match. I have to say it was a little sad to see David Warner not being able to get his century. It was a great performance from Sri Lanka and I have to save it was really unexpected outcome.

Sri Lankans inexperienced players are playing better than the well experienced Australian players. Now I think Australia was lucky to win the first match. They were going to loss that match too. Australia was in the front seat in today's match, but their batting lineup collapsed after the fall of 5th wicket. Finch, Marsh and Maxwell should have showed some responsibility. It won't be surprising if Australia loss the last ODI match as well.

Once again, Australia had a poor start to their chase. Aaron Finch got out for a duck, with Karunaratne taking the wicket. Mitchell Marsh and David Warner are at the crease and they are dealing with the Sri Lankan bowling very carefully. And when the Sri Lankans were batting, the Australian bowlers wasted a good chance to restrict them to a total of less than 200. When Pathum Nissanka got out, Lankans were struggling at 34/3. From there, Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva took them to a very decent total of 258.

Sri Lanka VS Australia

Australia won the toss and elected to field. At the end of 40.2 overs, Sri Lanka collected 207/6. Charith Asalanka is still unbeaten on 90 runs. Dhananjaya de Silva was also able to collect 60 runs. Probably Sri Lanka will be able to give a target of 260 runs. Since the performance of Australian batsmen is now irregular. So it is not clear whether Australia will win the match. But Australia has the potential to win by batting for a target of 260/270.
If the Australian bowler won't take the wicket of Asalanka, then I think  Sri Lanka will be able to give a target above 280 today. Sri Lanka collected 248 runs in 46 overs. I don't like the performance of the Australian bowlers in today's match either. I think Sri Lanka will be in the save zone if they are able to give a target of 280 runs. Because in the third match, Australia could not win even after batting for 221 runs. If Australia wants to win today, the two batsmen in the opener must play well

Sri Lanka managed to give a target of 259 runs. If Charith Asalanka was at the crease, maybe they would have been able to collect 15/20 more runs. Three Sri Lankan batsmen have been run-out today. Players should have played a little more cautiously. Maybe we will see Australia's victory today. The performance of the Australian players in the last two matches was irregular. If the batsmen bat responsibly today, it will be easy for Australia to score 259 runs.

After Asalanka remarkable innings Australian bowler takes rest of the wicket quickly.Asalanka's presentation ODI century takes Sri Lanka to fighting total of 258 runs. It's great to see young talents are performing well, let's see how the bowlers defend the total. If the batters could adds 20-25 more runs score board would look more healthy. Anyway, I'm anticipating observe some splendid bowling show from Sri Lankan bowlers.
