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

The 4th ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia resumes today. With a 2-1 lead, Sri Lanka is ready to create history in the fourth ODI. I am firmly convinced that the historical series will be won by the Lions today. There are many talented young players on their team. As a result of their confidence, they'll be outperformed world champions as well. I would like to watch a good Australian vs Sri Lanka match.

My guess is that today's Australia will win. They had lost the previous two matches. In the second match, Australia could not win even after batting for only 221 runs. And after giving a target of 292 runs in the third match, they lost. They may be able to identify their own weaknesses. Hopefully in today's match, they will solve their mistakes and win.
I personally want to see Lankans fighting hard and win the series.

I also feel that SriLankan fans really need this win so that they can forget about their suffering for just few hours and freshen up as it's incredibly tough time for SL as country.

Call it distraction or whatever but they need it badly.

One more ODI remains between England and the Netherlands, which will be played tomorrow. Netherlands looks to be in dire straits, with just 2 wins and 25 points from a total of 15 matches in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. The performance from them was quite disappointing, and it will be very difficult for them to get similar opportunities in the future. Anyway, the ICC has scrapped the Super League system and have gone back to the qualification system based on ranking. This is very funny, because teams such as the Netherlands never gets enough matches against the top teams, to figure in the ranking system.

The way Aussies were batting I was convinced that they will win the match quite easily. 291 was good target and no one was expecting this SL squad to chase 291 and that too against Aussie bowling lineup. Credit goes to SL top order they played responsibly specially Pathum Nissanka. SL now have got the lead they must not lose from here.
291 is very good target for any team against team like Australia but here in this match Sri Lankan done amazing job, and they go with plane which works for them specially their top order batsmen were on target which help them for winning this match and series on other side Australian bowlers were not good enough as they have for this match which is also big factor for losing this match.

Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis both were in good touch and their technique against Australian bowlers give some good help for winning this match. Now it's good time for them to have some better strategy for future tours because they are still way behind for having some respectable place in cricket world after losing their few legendary players and last few year's humiliation's.

I actually did not think that they would be able to change the 291 run target given by Australia. But Sri Lanka has done a really good job to change the score and win the match quite comfortably in my opinion. Pathum Nissanka and Kushal Mendis have batted really well to make sure that Sri Lanka reaches the target of 292. In the end, the day date with 9 balls left and 6 wickets in hand.

Surprising how well the Sri Lanka team have been able to perform against Australia with a stacked squad. It would have been even easier if Kusal Mendis hadn't unfortunately gotten retired hurt. Which only tells you the strength of Sri Lankan batting. Mendis missed out on his 100 as he had to limp out of the field at 87.

Sri Lanka are up 2-1 in the ODI series after losing 2-1 in the T20's earlier. 2 ODI's to go.

Also, Nissanaka got his maiden century and was the Man of the Match for his performance.

Honestly, I really did not think this would happen and this shouldn't have happened as well. The Australian squad is really good and I never thought this Sri Lankan team is going to be able to beat this Australian team in a million years. And it is really surprising how Sri Lanka is in the lead. The Sri Lankan batsmen have played really well in the last match to reach the big score that was set by Australia. I have to say it feels like they got there really comfortably. Expecting a good come back from Australia.
Once after the loss in the first match Sri Lanka have managed to make the back to back wins. The second match was really interesting, because Sri Lanka managed to score 220 runs and restricting Australia within the score is truly difficult. Third match Sri Lanka reached the target close to 300 runs in a much comfortable manner losing 4 wickets and 9 balls remaining. Third match have brought big expectation, because losing the match will keep Sri Lanka win the series and win will keep Australia hope of winning the series alive. Australia have got the problem, as more players are into Sri Lanka for the first time.

98 runs were included the score board in the last 10 overs from Australia batters. Totally perfect hitting by Aussies in the last couple of overs which helps 291/6. But, Sri Lankan maintain batting vain all the efforts of Aussie batters. Sri Lanka chase comfortably and take a 2-1 lead in the series. This team knows how to win matches by fighting. I had a feeling Australia would lose this series as well.

170 runs unbeaten partnership between Pathum Nissanka and Mendis did the job for Srilanka. Srilanka from the start of there batting have a plan and they executed it very well. If they win this series it will give so much boost to struggling Srilanka team. May be that's the revival of Srilanka cricket?

It was unthinkable that Sri Lanka would win the series against an experienced team like Australia. Because, we have seen the performance of Sri Lanka in the last few series. Their performance was erratic, and there were no experienced players on the team. No one thinks they will win the series against Australia with such a team. However, congratulations to the Sri Lankan team. They will probably be able to perform better in the next World Cup.
Today Sri Lankan youths write a great note in cricketing history as they beat a fully star-studded Australian team very comprehensively in a very difficult situation because things are not good for them and they achieved a great win. Surely this could be a great start for newly appointed coach Silverwood who just replaced Mickey Arther and have no good history with England after humiliating defeats against Australia and West Indies.

Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis were in good touch even though the target was not easy but their aggressive approach give them the upper hand and they bring success to their country. Now after this historic win Sri Lankan selectors have a good time settling on a winning combination which can bring back their great days in cricket.

Srilankan cricket teams are doing good . . people get a distraction from overall economic constraints.
Well done team - this joy which you have given to the nation will go a long way.

Right now Sri Lanka is in complete command of this match and going to win a historic series against mighty Australia which did a good score of 292 in fifty overs but an amazing partnership between Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis is giving them a driving seat to win 146 runs in just 25 overs are enough for them with nine wickets remaining and they need 100 more runs in 17 overs which is not difficult on papers until know.
Sri Lanka completed the history win and i do not even know majority of the players in the team and they went on and defeated a star studded Australia and i will be remembering the name Pathum Nissanka if he continues to perform like this. It is possible that Australia underestimated the Sri Lankan young side and they paid the price and wonderful performance by the young Sri Lankan team..

Australia vs Sri lanka

Australia has given a target of 292 runs today. Since the Australian bowlers are experienced, I thought they would win easily. But the Sri Lankan batsmen are batting very well. Sri Lanka managed to score 162 runs in 28 overs. Sri Lanka lost just one wicket. Sri Lanka needs 130 runs in 22 overs. If the Australian bowlers are not able to pick up wickets quickly, then the chances of Sri Lanka winning this match are high.
Sri Lanka win the match this is really a great moment for them. Although Sri Lanka is now in a state of stagnation bit Sri Lanka cricket suddenly turned around. They are showing that they are still alive and have the ability to defend any other. Today's win will inspire Sri Lanka even more. In this match Pathum Nissanka 137 and Kusal Mendis 87 runs make the game very much easier so definitely it is big win one behalf of Sir Lanka.

To win, Sri Lanka still needs to collect 6.9 runs per over. Sri Lanka needs 69 runs in 10 overs. Since Pathum Nissanka and Dhananjaya de Silva are both very experienced batsmen at the crease. And they are also in good form, so it will not be difficult to collect only 69 runs in the last 10 overs. It would be a shame for Australia to lose this series. Because the performance of this Sri Lankan team was erratic and the number of experienced players in the squad was low.
Pathum Nissanka, the youngster of Sri Lankans cricket team has played a magnificent innings. It is true that Sri Lanka have less experienced players than Australia. But still they are playing better and leading the series now. They have won the third ODI by 6 wickets. Perhaps, Sri Lanka is going to win this series. Australian bowlers aren't doing well lately. Even we have seen poor performance from their experienced batsmen in the second ODI match.
