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).

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.

Afghanistan was doing struggle but now I think the game has equal, anyone can win the game from this point. In the start of the innings of Afghanistan, they have lost the wicket of Sediqullah Atal , Rahmat Shah and before 20 overs, they have lost to Hashmatullah Shahidi also.  All these bastmen has not scored much and out early. Remember it is very important game for both the teams. This game will decide who is going to win the series. I am supporting to Bangladesh but so far I am looking that both teams has equal chances and Bangladesh may also win it.
hmm, right  at the beginning I as supporting Afghanistan because I have seen their player potential, power of will, and dedication, and they did exactly according to my expectations and won the last match of the series which put them ahead in lead so they were announced as the winners of the ODI series against Bangladesh which looked quite tough because they had already lost their previous match where most of their batters failed and due to their collapse, they lost, so they have a lot of pressure to face as from yesterday defeat. But thanks to God, they successfully execute their plan and push the most important Bangladesh batter to the pavilion, and then through his impressive innings of Gurbaz along side with his partner omarzai they match the required target.

Bangladesh were in good position for have win in this ODI series against Afghanistan but sadly things gone against them, and they faced lost even we can say their batting done good job, but their bowlers were not able to take advantage of this which is surely lack of experience and strategy which needed for having wins in games.

Azmatullah Omarzai and Gurbaz were hero for the Afghanistan as these play better and have good technique to handle this situation which helps them for having win in this game and series as well now after this series Bangladesh is heading for the West Indies where they will be play 2 test matches 3 ODI and 3 T20I it's going to be tough tour for them with most chances we will have another poor for them as well.

Recently, they are having the good number of games but sadly still their performance is not as par requirement which is surely disappointing situation for their fans after having win against Pakistan expectations were high, but they are going down-and-out like they were before Pakistan series.

There is no doubt that the Bangladesh team managed to deliver a decent target today. However, the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers was not good in today's match. Shoriful in particular gave a lot of runs today. SHoriful gave 61 runs in 8.2 overs. Mustafiz took 2 wickets but gave away 56 runs in 9 overs and Miraz gave away 56 runs in 10 overs. If the bowlers could bowl controlled, there was a possibility of victory for Bangladesh.
Bangladesh bowlers were indeed unable to create much pressure on Afghanistan batsmen yesterday. The fourth wicket partnership had helped Afghanistan to turn the match in their favour. Gurbaz was playing with confidence. The target wasn't really bad as it was a bowling friendly pitch. Still, the target should have been at least 270 runs in yesterday match. The captain Miraz played very slowly. He was trying to stop the batting collapse, but it is a pathetic performance when a batsman plays almost 20 overs in a ODI match with the strike rate of 55 only.

I believe it's shameful for the Netherlands as they are experienced and have good players those can easily handle this situation but still they were not able to chase this target and lost their chance of jumping at the top of the league table.
Oman is not good team they are having good time because they are having no domestic player mostly are from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka which is not good for the game and Oman we need more teams with native players who can give their best and also help game for having good development.

I think it is not shameful moment for the Netherlands team, yes they have ability to do good in the matches as they beat to South Africa both of the times when they faced them since 2022. As you said Oman mostly players are from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India and others countries so same on the United States of American team. Many players that they used in the World Cup 2024 was not from their own country and which is why they beat to Pakistan in group stages. However, at the end of the day, I think Netherlands have good position, they are having third position which is in the top 4.

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.

Namibia used to be one of the top sides. They are at the bottom because younger players can't make up for the absence of David Wiese and Ruben Trumpelmann. And look at the top sides. Canada and United States are at the top. These two were not even considered as among the stronger associate nations. US had some recent success thanks to Andries Gous and Saurabh Netravalkar.

But if they perform like this, then that position would be at risk.
