Final of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) will be played in a few hours from now. Galle Gladiators will take on Jaffna Stallions for the first ever title. I want the Jaffna Stallions to win, which will be a huge boost to the Northern region (where Jaffna is located) after decades of suffering from the civil war. I would have been even more happier if they had scheduled some of the matches at Jaffna. Anyway, the final match will be played at Hambantota.
I bet on Galle Gladiators today. Jaffna Stallions scored 70 runs in 8.4 overs by losing 3 wickets. I guess they will be able to run like 160. Lets see what will happen.

Jaffna Stallions are playing well now. Malik and de Silva are making good runs and are playing aggressive. They will score far more than 160, if they continue playing like this. I am looking 180+ score from them to give themselves a good chance to win the final.

Shoaib Malik did played well for his 46 and got good support from De Silva and Thisara just played some magnificent shots in the end and made 39 not out in just 14 balls which actually changed the momentum of the game and helped Jaffna Stallions to reach 188/6 and will be a competitive score to chase.


I did not watch the match but heard that Shoaib Malik was the key in the match and he batted and bowled very well.
Strange that when Shoaib plays for the national team, his performance is mostly poor but he always shows better performance in leagues.  Sad

Jaffna Stallions won by 53 runs & They are the champions of the Lanka Premier League. What a dominating performance by Thisara Perera and his boys on the night of the final.

I bet on Galle Gladiators today.

Sorry for your loss today as Galle Gladiators has lost the final match today. Jaffna Stallions out class them and they could not handle the pressure of chase in the big final. Just like most matches were one sided in LPL, the final turns out to be the same.

Advantage for Jaffna Stallions as of now. Galle Gladiators have lost five wickets and they still need another 113 runs from 10.1 overs. Shoaib Malik is bowling really well, and he is getting good support from Usman Shinwari and Suranga Lakmal. BTW, it would have been better for the JS to include Vijayakanth Viyaskanth in the playing XI, as it would have sent a strong message to ethnic unity.

I am not a cricket fan myself. I partially understand the rules of the game. The disadvantage of some games is that it can only take so long.

The tension will go away eventually.

I saw some cricket matches to bet on last night, and I was surprised what happened with the movement in the odds so quickly changes.

BTW, I want to go slightly off-topic. Don't you guys think that including two teams from across the Tasman Sea can make BBL more interesting? Let them have two franchises from Auckland and Christchurch. It will increase the overall viewership and give the Kiwis a taste of high-voltage franchise T20 cricket. But logistics can be a concern. Australia itself is huge.. and now we are talking about AUS+NZ.  Grin

Amazing performance by Peter Siddle, who once again proved that age is just a number. He virtually destroyed Hobart Hurricanes single-handedly and gave valuable points to the Adelaide Strikers. Jake Weatherald also played well to remain unbeaten on 68. And apart from Scott Boland, the other Hobart bowlers proved to be very expensive, including James Faulkner and Nathan Ellis.

@Visnu.Reang indeed it was an very interesting match, and yea in T20 age doesn’t matter, but it’s all about one’s mentality and Siddle showed us today that he yet has that winning mentality, which helped him pick 5 wickets in today’s game. Furthermore Hobart Hurricanes need to introspect as to what went wrong, and then work hard on rectifying their mistakes.

The strickers were just brilliant with the ball specially Siddle,he takes 5 wicket. Hurricanes are 20-30 runs short i think so.
Strickers need 147 to win in 20 overs.Only early wickets can change this match otherwise would be a easy chase for Strickers.
Adelaide Strikers have already lost 2 wickets. They lost 2 wickets in 4 overs and scored 24 runs. Both teams now have an equal chance of winning the match. If the Adelaide Strikers don't lose wickets in the next 6-7 overs then I think they will win today's match.

If BCCI gives full security to the players then I applaud them. But it is very hard work. Yet when they have finished the IPL successfully, I think they can finish the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy successfully. They have that ability.
For Mustaq Ali trophy there shouldn't be much problem as its shorter format. Ranji on the other hand might need fair amount of planning for obvious reasons as its longer format of the game but BCCI have enough resources to pull that off.

International travel is not a big problem, the problem is how many people are involved. The covid test must be done before travel. It is mandatory. But the more people involved, the greater the risk of coronavirus outbreaks.

For the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, I believe that the BCCI has taken all necessary precautions. They have divided the 38 teams into 5 groups, and each of the groups will be stationed in bio-secure bubbles. Certain amount of air travel is necessary, as I don't think that remote state associations such as Mizoram and Manipur would send their squads via rail or road.

I am still trying to get more details about the Ranji Trophy, but as of now the BCCI hasn't divulged anything related to the tournament.

You are right. Organizing the Ranji Trophy is more challenging than hosting the World Cup. Because around 10 teams participate in the World Cup. But 38 teams participated in the Ranji Trophy last year. Thousands of people will be involved in this game. And the risk of coronavirus infection is even higher. So I don't think BCCI will decide to host Ranji Trophy now.

The T20 World Cup involves a total of 16 teams, and out of that 12 teams take part in the second phase (i.e the main tournament). Although Ranji Trophy involves a greater number of teams, there is no need for international travel, and in most cases the squad can be transported by road. And most importantly, the number of new COVID 19 cases has been on the decline in India.

COVID19 is on the decline as per the government data and with proper precaution Ranji matches can be organized, if BCCI wants. The government has not give any clearance as of now to hold sporting events in the country. If BCCI takes the responsibility and approaches the government then I donot see any problem in conducting the tournament.

The 2021 T20 World Cup will be conducted in India and that should give a huge advantage to Kohli & Co. But if India's performance is less than satisfactory in that tournament, then I expect the BCCI to take some tough decisions, including making Rohit Sharma the captain for the shorter format. Aggression on the field needs to be backed up with performance. If Kohli is not capable of that, then someone else needs to be given the responsibility.
Kohli is one of the most consistent players in the world and if you compare his average as a captain he can be called the best player with the biggest average as a captain, so you cannot put the entire fault on him as a player as the entire team needs to perform along with that standard. The only difference Rohit Sharma can do is to play with the same team members and i would like to see what technical difference he can come up with the same team.

If covid situation stopping Ranji atm then i think BCCI is optimistic and might be preparing for some plans behind close doors already, after all English tour is coming up then IPL and in the end hosting rights of T-20 WC. That's so much cricket in India and if everything goes okay then they might go ahead with Ranji too.

Ranji Trophy is like the largest domestic championship for cricket anywhere in the world. It involves more than three dozen teams (and there are still plans to add a few more like Ladakh and Air India). Conducting such a tournament is much more challenging than scheduling the T20 World Cup. I guess the Ranji tournament may be conducted, but in a scaled down format with less number of matches.
