If the future of Sri Lankan cricket is looking bad... then what do you say about that of teams like Pakistan and Bangladesh? At least Sri Lanka managed to reach the finals. But the one sided nature of matches is a cause for worry. The gap between pig-3 (India in this case) and the rest is widening. Cricket is dying outside the tier-1 test nations. And even among the lower ranking test nations, the future is not looking very bright. I won't be surprised if India ends up like the US in basketball, in 5-10 years from now.
NBA in The USA and IPL in India is completely different, and I am not agreed with you here that India could on this level in next few years because we have 3 different formats and all need some good quality and skills for having good form which is not possible for them with just IPL their other domestic set up is not good enough for producing good players and Australia having very good record in this with their strong domestic system now New Zealand is also improving quality after having some good intention from youths and better results in last two ODI world cups with WTC win is bonus for them.

England requires some good changes, then surely they will also back in form with some better quality. With all difficulties and dirty politics, Pakistan is also doing good in cricket for many years.

Indian U-19 team played really well with a disciplined bowling effort followed by Raghuvanshi's half-century helped India win this tournament. SL was struggling from the beginning and it was a completely one-sided match. Bangladesh match was also not that different they, what can you expect from these two teams they are governed by the same board whose International teams performance has been deteriorating every year.

Such performance was not expected from SL after they beat strong Pakistan team in Semi finals. India was favorite for this match but some fight from SL was expected which sadly they didn't show. Still its good for struggling SL cricket that there U19 manage to reach finals. Even rain was not able to help SL since they have too low score.

Nobody knows the future, we haven't predicted the Indian team will undergo such tough times toward last quarter of 2021. SL team is undergoing tough times because 4 of there key players left at the same time. Cricket is still one of the most popular game in SL and very soon we will see quality players joining in.

Looking at the players of the Sri Lankan Under-19 team, it seems that the future of the Sri Lankan national team is not very good. Because many players from the Under-19 team get a chance in the national team. If a team is formed with such players, they will not be able to win against Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Bangladesh U-19 team lost to India by almost 100 runs. However, the Bangladesh team did not lack talented players. Yet they lost by a huge margin only because of the remarkable bowling prowess of the Indian bowlers. Ravindra, Raj, Ravi Kumar and Vicky both took wickets. The Bangladesh team players needed to do some more homework because they went down to play against the best team in the tournament.

India and Sri Lanka will meet in the final. Sri Lanka is weaker than India. India will win the title.

Bangladesh under 19 team is good enough. I have seen their past match performances. The boys play well. Unfortunately, they have lost by a huge margin to India. But I would say that this young team from Bangladesh is better than Sri Lanka under 19 and Pakistan's under 19 teams.
However, India's match against Sri Lanka is an easy one. I am looking forward to watching a one-sided match. Undoubtedly, India will win this match.
We can't judge future from these matches because too many changes going to happen in coming years with many new players will be in, and we will have new faces from domestic sources and academies. Many countries need to do some aggressive decisions for having better results for future, but they have no enough funds for these things.

In semi-finals Bangladesh vs India was completely one-sided match and in other overconfident Pakistan lost against very weak side Sri Lanka even target was also not good enough but still it's good for them as now they will have their lesson for future matches. India won very easily, good for them and congrats to all players, but they need to keep things normal and have lesson from Pakistan lost.

The final match between the two countries have started in Dubai.  SriLanka  won the toss and chose to bat. They scored only 15 runs in the first 10 overs. That's only 1.5 runs per over.

Keeping wickets in hand does not mean that you stop scoring runs.

Completely one-sided in a match. Sri Lanka batted first and scored only 106 runs. They scored 106 runs in 36 overs. Very weak batting. India won easily. They lost just one wicket. Raghuvangshi was unbeaten on 56 runs.

Looking at the players of the Sri Lankan Under-19 team, it seems that the future of the Sri Lankan national team is not very good. Because many players from the Under-19 team get a chance in the national team. If a team is formed with such players, they will not be able to win against Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

No surprise there. Among the Asian nations, only Pakistan is able to offer some sort of challenge to India. Other teams like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan are going down the drain. And as far as I know, Sri Lanka doesn't even have a proper domestic setup for the U-19 players. They are mostly dependent on the schools and colleges to mentor their age group players. Given this, it is a big achievement that they have reached the finals of the U-19 Asia Cup. But at the same time, I don't think that they have any serious chance of a win against India.

Have anyone watched the today semi finals of the under 19 Asia cup ?
India and Srilanka have defeated Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively in the semi finals. Now we would have the final between India and Srilanka tomorrow.

India would be favorites to lift the title of this Under-19 Asia Cup.
A very good competition between rising stars from Asia in early matches all teams done very good job and Pakistan was favourite after beating Afghanistan and India, but they were completely overconfident after beating India so Sri Lanka done very good timely job and beat them in very low scoring match by 22 runs now we have final between India vs Sri Lanka where India is favorite and have very good chance for winning this title.

Very shocking news from South Africa as De Kock suddenly announces retirement from test cricket after losing first test against India; the reason he mentions he wants to spend more time with family.

Mate, no one will remember how they win, but this will record their win against South Africa even they are very weak side it's not Indian problem it's their own internal problem which need to settled, but they fail due to have some investigations going on for what white players and commissions are having their own impact because now many players not feeling good with this all, and they are leaving cricket or this country for having some better future.

Losing just one match is never been downfall for any team or board, it's normal now please go ahead instead of talking about event which is already ended and now all need to look into future for better results.

I think south africa board is doing fine by including black players in the team. Its south africa team which is controlled mostly by white people, blacks were not included due to discrimination. In start it will create some problems but in the long run it will be good for south Africa cricket as majority will control the cricket board.

Pakistan against BCCI  Cheesy, why you think so because it was a under 19 India Pakistan match . So you think that a loss in a T20 match will weaken the Indian team and what do you think about the current tour of South Africa, will they show the same weakness in Test matches or just in T20 and ODI  Tongue.
Well, Yes the loss in the world cup T20 match is the start of the downfall for Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Hope its is clear now  Smiley

Well, as you asked the Performance of India of their current tour of South Africa, I think India may win the first test but it will not be a convincing win. Remember South Africa is a weakest team and India should have won by an innings. But as I said, downfall started for them.

I am following the score card on espncricinfo.com. SL shattered Pakistan dream of winning Asia U19 Cup today. It was low scoring game where SL only scored 147 runs. Pakistan must have chased it easily but its Mathew and Wellalaga bowling from SL that crushed Pakistan.

As it is just Asia level U19 tournament, I guess no one showed any interest on discussing and betting on it but at least from knock out stage I guess people might have started to watch this. I remember that India U19 was defeated by Pakistan U19 in league matches but now Sri Lanka managed to defeat Pakistan to enter the final. I am just seeing some new sprit among Sri Lanka cricket these days.

Not sure who is going to win the title, still India seems stronger than Sri Lanka and let's see what is going to happen tomorrow? Do you find any major crypto sportsbetting platform covering these matches?

@Theones what’s done can’t be done and we can’t expect BCCI to apologise to him, or give out a public apology so he’ll have to just move on and play his natural game.

Also Virat is a much better player than Rahane and Pujara who should be removed from the team, and the current Indian team need’s Kohli aggressive behaviour to motivate them, however if he constantly fails with the bat in 2022 then yea I’ll too back the call for him to be removed from the team.

Kohli's aggression has got converted to bullying. Nowadays he doesn't seems to be using his brain a lot. Tactics are quite poor and on a lot of occasions India has been at the receiving end due to this. As a batsman also, his form has nosedived. It may hurt his ego, but I would say that the best thing for him to do would be to take a short break from international cricket. If he doesn't want to play domestic cricket, then fine. He can spend quality time with his family and make up for the past.

I didn't knew about this match before and just came to know that Pakistan managed to win another big win against the BCCI. I told you that Indians after losing the T20 WC match won't remain the same strong team and you will see a lot of change in  top teams ranking in near future.

Give him some space guys, he was removed in disrespectful manner from ODI and T20 captaincy. He has done so much for Indian cricket and that's how you treat your legend player? Look at his performance ever since, he is not able to score runs anymore in Test. If he is bulling like that he will get more depressed with time.

If he is out of form, then the best possible course of action for him and for the team would be to take a break from test cricket and concentrate on domestic cricket for a few months. I have never heard about this excuse, like saying that a player is depressed and therefore he should be allowed to play in the national team. There are a lot of talented youngsters sitting at the bench, only because the oldies like Kohli would select players only based on their loyalty and not based on their skills and merit.

@Theones what’s done can’t be done and we can’t expect BCCI to apologise to him, or give out a public apology so he’ll have to just move on and play his natural game.

I agree too Rahane and Pujara should be removed and some else should be given a chance. Kohli is only trying to get some positive media attention and nothing else I think. I still would not like him to come back and show his aggressive behaviour on one hand and poor batting on the other. He is still struggling in the current test series and I think this will go on as he is more concentrated in doing what he is not good at than concentrating on his batting.
