If a comparative difference is made between Sri Lanka and Australia then Australia will be far ahead of Sri Lanka. If the rankings are considered, it can be seen that Australia occupies the top position. However, despite Sri Lanka being a normal team from Australia, they have shown a lot of skill on the field. Cricket fans are always eager to watch such a game.

They are playing at home and pitches are tailor made to suit the Lankan players. Even after all this, they are 0-1 down in the ODI series and lost the T20 series by 1-2. Imagine what would happen in case they play in SENA nations. Sri Lanka is a declining team and I don't think that much can be done about that. In the near future they will be replaced by emerging teams such as Afghanistan. The ongoing economic meltdown in that country is not helping either. The SLCB will be much relieved, if they receive the same amount of annual funds from the ICC which they received for the 2015-23 cycle. Honestly I don't think that they deserve these funds.

Australia somehow managed to win the match by two wickets only. It was a batting friendly pitch and Sri Lanka had set a good target too. The DLS method had made the game more favourable for Sri Lanka. But Stoinis has played well in the middle over and Maxwell has finished the game in his style. However, it was a competitive game in the last few overs as Australia had only two wickets left.

Sri Lanka has once again performed poorly in ODI format, and that too playing at home. Fortunately for them, this series is not part of the World Cup Super League, else they would have been in big trouble. Still, there is a very slim chance that Sri Lanka would be able to secure automatic qualification to the world cup, because they just have 62 points from 18 matches. Giving a good fight to their opponents won't help them in the long term. They need to win matches against the big 3 teams, and that's all that matters.

I actually don't think that Sri Lanka played that badly. I actually think they have done well enough in the batting department but yes, in the bowling department, the performance of Sri Lanka was questionable.

Except for Wanindu Hasaranga, no other bowlers of Sri Lanka were able to perform well and Australia really took advantage of that.
Sri Lanka had good enough runs on the board. Right now I don't see them winning against any bigger team.

LOL.. everything was going on nicely and suddenly we have a rain interruption. From what I have heard, rain was not forecasted for today. So hopefully everything will be alright in some time and no overs will be lost. I have to admit that Australia is on backfoot as of now. Both David Warner and Aaron Finch are gone, and now two out of form batsmen are at the crease (Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith). Wanindu Hasaranga is looking very threatening and as of now Sri Lanka has a higher chance of winning this match.

Although opener Warner returned to the dressing room with a duck, the rest of the batsmen in the squad performed very well.  Finch has scored 44, while Smith has played poorly in previous matches, but today he has scored 53 runs. Australia lost 5 wickets and scored 216 runs. They need 66 runs in 10 overs to win. Alex Carey and Glenn Maxwell are both very experienced players at the crease. Australia is still more likely to win.

Maxwell is playing very well, he has scored a half-century off just 35 balls. However, there is no experienced batsman at the crease to assist him. Ashton Agar is basically a bowler, good performance cannot be expected from him. Australia will lose this match if Maxwell is out now. At this moment, Australia needs 28 runs from 28 balls to win.

Australia and Sri Lanka face off in the first ODI today after losing the T20 series. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. In the first two T20 matches, we saw poor batting of Sri Lanka. And so the Australia team seems to be the favourite in this match. There is no consistency in the performance of Sri Lankan players. There is no specific player in the squad who can consistently play well in every match. Let's see how the Sri Lankan batsmen perform today.....
The Sri Lankan batsmen are batting responsibly. At the end of 13 overs, Sri Lanka collected 72, and the interesting thing is that Sri Lanka has not lost any wicket yet. Nissanka scored 36 runs and Gunathilaka collected 33 runs. If the Australian bowlers are not able to pick up wickets quickly, Sri Lanka will provide more than 300 targets today. And if the target is more than 300 then it will be very difficult for Australia to win this match.
Sri Lanka lost the first wicket for 115 runs. The two openers batted very well. Opener Dhanuska Gunathilaka was dismissed for 55 runs. Sri Lanka scored 115 runs at the end of 20 overs and their run rate is well enough. They have averaged 5.75 runs per over. It may not be difficult for Sri Lanka to score 300 runs today.

According to your prediction, the Sri Lankan players scored exactly 300 runs and set a target of 301 runs. But I thought they would be able to give a target of 320. They scored 52 runs in the last 10 overs. The first three batsmen of the squad performed well, while Hasaranga played a necessary inning of 37 off 19 balls. Although the target of 301 is big enough, I think Australia will win this match very easily.

The next set of matches for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League is between Pakistan and Netherlands. Three ODI matches will be played between the two sides in Rotterdam. A 3-0 win, or at least a 2-1 series win would mean Pakistan securing the automatic qualification for the next world cup. The ICC guys have once again gone retro mode by cancelling the World Cup Super League from next season onwards. They don't believe in this qualification system and they want to give automatic qualification to the teams of their liking.

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
Shadab Khan saved the match for Pakistan and they were able to win from a not-so-good position. I would say that West Indies had their chances in this match but they failed to capitalize on the moments.
Celebration for Pakistan for a series win and the special thing is that this was a home series which they white wash 3-0.  Smiley
They beat Australia in style earlier and now West Indies in ODI. The best thing for Pakistan is that cricket has come back to Pakistan. They have played for 10 years in UAE and that's a huge duration. Shadab Khan was a bit unlucky to miss his 100 but also lucky to get 4 wikcets.
They did not play at home for many years but they were not out of the cricket. They participated in every tournament and all their homes series were not canceled but mostly moved to other countries like UAE. So even though they did not have much cricket at home, there were never out of practice. Now things are settling for them as teams now are willing to come to pakistan and play.

The Pakistan team is very strong now. Although they are overly dependent on Babar Azam Imam ul Haq and Fakhar Zaman. Also the performance of other players in the team is good enough. Especially the performance of the bowlers is excellent. And so the Pakistan team is consistently able to maintain a good performance. Pakistan will fight for the title in the next World Cup

As expected, Pakistan has won the 3rd ODI match too. West Indies got whitewashed by Pakistan. Now Pakistan team is at a safe position in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League table. They were at 10th position before the start of this series, but now they got the 4th position with 9 wins. Perhaps, it won't be easy for South Africa to enter in the top 8. New Zealand may enter in the top 8 of World Cup Super League table.
Pakistan not just positioning up on ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League but in addition get benefits in the ICC ODI rankings. PAK 3-0 clean sweep over WI give them super boost on the point table. In ODI format Pakistan team one of the strongest team as of now. WI and other teams needs to work hard, but NZ haven't lost any matches yet trouble to make sure top 8. It's quite confusing to me.

New Zealand may enter in the top 8 of World Cup Super League table.

The team which is going to be in trouble is West Indies. They have played the maximum number of matches (21) and they just have 80 points. Now they have just 3 ODI matches remaining, and that too against a strong India side. As per my calculations, a team needs to win at least 10 matches (100 points) out of the total 24, if they want to remain in the top-8. In all probability, West Indies won't be able to do this and they will be required to participate in the qualifying tournament for the 2023 World Cup. For comparison, Ireland is currently having 68 points from 18 matches.

Things really don't look good for West Indies and I obviously don't think they are also going to win any match against India as well. It will be a really hard task for them. I think they will have to play the qualifying tournament for the 2023 world cup, they will have to do better.

Ireland actually will be able to end in a better position compared to West Indies. I really thought West Indies will be able to win the last match against Pakistan but Shadab Khan actually stole the match away from them.

Pakistan won the match by 53 runs in the end by the DLS method and won the series 3-0. Shadab Khan was really great in this match.  I really thought west Indies could salvage something from this match but they failed to do so.
Shadab Khan made a difference in the match but when Akeal Hosein was in the crease, West Indies always had a possibility to win the match even though they lost 7 wickets as he was hitting the ball clean and was scoring at a high run rate and the odds which were in favor of Pakistan for the majority of the match started to change when he was in the crease till he was dismissed.

I was watching Akeal Hosein for the first time and they way he played he will be a prospect for West Indies in the future and he might get invitations from T20 franchise for his striking ability and he is a pretty decent spinner.

I thought West Indies had a really good chance of winning the match but they lost a lot of wickets really quickly and that certainly cost them. Pakistan had to work really hard to win this match and West Indies should take some positives from the last match.


Shadab Khan saved the match for Pakistan and they were able to win from a not-so-good position. I would say that West Indies had their chances in this match but they failed to capitalize on the moments.

Pakistan really won the series very easily but they had to work really hard to win the series and whitewash West Indies. West Indies really did well and almost won the match. But Pakistan played really well and Shadab Khan did really exceptionally to win the match.

West Indies scored 155 runs in 26 overs. West Indies need 115 runs in 21 overs to win. They need 5.6 runs per over. However, West Indies lost 6 valuable wickets. Keemo Paul and Akeal Hosein, who is at the crease, bat well enough, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to stay at the crease for long. Pakisthan is still the favorite to win the match.
Akeal Hosein is batting very well. He is still at the crease with 47 off 32 balls. However, I still think it is not possible for the West Indies to win this match. Pakistan bowlers are very experienced. On the other hand,  Apart from Akeal Hossain,I don't see any more experienced batsmen in the West Indies team at the moment, as they have already lost 7 wickets.

Pakistan won the match by 53 runs in the end by the DLS method and won the series 3-0. Shadab Khan was really great in this match.  I really thought west Indies could salvage something from this match but they failed to do so.
