It is true that now odds will not be a good one but more concerned is that SL team would be demotivated with the kind of loss they had and now they will need to recover and bounce back if they want to make any impact in the series.

The 2020 ICC T20 World Cup will be played at Australia and the results from today's match is not very encouraging for Sri Lanka. First of all, they could not directly qualify for the Super-12 because of their low rank. So they need to play the preliminary round, unlike the other big teams. And if they lose to the big 3 teams by this much huge margins, then I am afraid that they'll become irrelevant in international cricket.

If Srilanka is able to win the toss and able to score runs then we can expect a good match as they could put pressure on the Aussie batsman if they are able to score a huge total but with the way in which the Aussies bowled today i find it difficult to see any upset, there was a time when they had power hitters but they lack that and they are not even experimenting as they have power strikers like Thisara Perera who have a really high strike rate and if they allow him to open in an innings we might see some explosive starts for Srilanka, not sure whether he is in the team.

Kinda agree with that. Shorter format is kinda favoured to batsman more than bowler. Also the fielding restrictions gives them more benefit since they are able to play more freely like you said.

If you notice the grounds are much smaller now and all the rules favor the batsman and it is really hard to be a good bowler in these situations as a miss hit will go over the ropes, i would like to see some equal playing field but the more commercialized cricket became more rules are favoring the batsman so that they could get more air time.

You also should have hitting batsman to chase that score and I felt like Sri Lanka lacked aggressive players like a side should have in yesterday's clash.

The Australians were on point and not giving away free space to launch these shots Cheesy

A one sided match we had seen in this first T20 match and all the top order batsman made min 50 and this has boosted the opening of the series and for the OZ specially. SL would like to break the opening stand quickly in the second match else they would lose the match again.

I missed the match and the sad part is that we will not be getting good odds in the upcoming matches because the Australians dominated the entire match with bat and ball and looking at the score board it looks like a club team facing a top team, the Australian bowlers destroyed them without giving away any free runs and i am yet to watch the highlights.

Certainly must be relieving for Australia for Warner to come back to his form again but we have yet to test out how he perform against side with good bowlers. Apart from Malinga I don't see bowlers who are quite good. We have seen Warner struggling in Ashes against England's bowlers so not quite sure if he can perform against good bowlers.

There are not much incredible bowlers in the world to terrorize batsman in the shorter format of the match, Warner was a bunny to Stuart Board and he is only playing in Test matches and the pitches made for T20 helps batsman and there is not time for swing too, so the format is made for batsman to play freely and only the best bowlers could contain the run flow.

Kinda agree with that. Shorter format is kinda favoured to batsman more than bowler. Also the fielding restrictions gives them more benefit since they are able to play more freely like you said.

With a huge score to chase it is not easy for any team and Srilanka admitted defeat after giving away that much runs.

When it comes to IPL, my support goes for Chennai kings under the leadership of MS Dhoni and i am guessing the next cup will be lifted by them. The defending champions, Mumbai looks strong too and high chances that they will reach last leg this time as well. My bets on finale between CSK and MI.

Here we go, another Cryptotalk spammer messing with ongoing discussion Undecided

quoting the 10-month-old OP and completely being offtopic by talking about IPL when it's not even close and diverted the topic from ongoing qualifiers and the SL-AUS series. I hate it when such things happen.

I don't think the SL team will win any of the matches against Australia in their home ground even if they managed to get a few wickets. Because, all the top-notch SL players are retired except for maybe Lasith Malinga and Angelo Mattews. So we have only one top-notch player playing for the Srilankan side that is Lasith Malinga. I know that he can create some serious upsets with his bowling, but I highly doubt that his fellow teammates will able to counter them.

The latest news from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier is that Papua New Guinea has almost qualified for the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup. It is still "almost", because Scotland is playing the Netherlands now and if the latter wins by a big margin, then they have a chance of overtaking Papua New Guinea as the top team in Group A. As of now, the top 4 sides in Group A are PNG (10 points), Netherlands (08), Namibia (08) and Scotland (6).

In Group B, no one has confirmed their slot yet. The top 4 as of now are: Ireland (08), Oman (08), UAE (6) and Hong Kong (6). The remaining matches are Oman vs Jersey and UAE vs Canada. So the ranking can still change, but as of now it looks like Oman will top the group as Jersey is a very weak team. And this is how the tournament format works:

1. Top ranked teams from both groups qualify for the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup.
2. Second and third ranking sides from opposite groups play each other. Winner qualifies for the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup. The loser from these matches play against the 4th placed teams from both groups and the winners from these matches qualify for the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup.

Under Ms Dhoni Chennai kings is the team to beat in the IPL and the ease in which they are winning the tournament is astonishing and the amount of times they reached the final speaks for their performance as a team and in the history of IPL they reached the finals eight times and none of the teams play with that level of consistency and remember they were banned for two years.

CSK also boasts the biggest fan following in the country. There was a video released sometime back which showed them following the CSK bus. Was insane. With Dhoni at the helm, CSK will continue performing well in the future too.

This is why rankings are not everything. Upsets happen and underdogs do win sometimes though Australia here was never an underdog to begin with. As expected, Warner(The beast) is back in form and Australia rocked that match.

Australia destroyed Sri Lanka in the first T20 and it was not a big surprise to see the results,

It is a big surprise for many because when Srilanka white wash Pakistan in T20, everyone was saying that Srilanka did a splendid job. Now by their performance today, you believe me who gifted them that series ? Ahmm Ahmm Cheesy

It's really bad to see the SriLanka 14 for 3 wickets in 4 overs. I never expected this will happen in first T20 match between Australia and SriLanka it's going to one side game. I think SriLanka will be all out within 20 overs.

Australia destroyed Sri Lanka in the first T20 and it was not a big surprise to see the results, good to see Warner back to his prime form and scoring a century and Maxwell continued his power with a variety range of shots around the ground and Smith did not even get to bat and they comfortably scored 233 runs and the Sri Lankan batsman had no answer to the pace and spin combination of Australia, i missed to wage a bet in the match Sad

1 match deciding the fate of a team? Really? When will ICC learn from federations like FIFA and NBA where they follow points system or best of 5 etc in order to decide the true winner? This is the worst thing about ICC tournaments in my opinion.

Here would like to see similar pattern which IPL uses for knockout games.

Happy Diwali to you Haunebu and everyone.

I agree. It's high time that BCCI considers Rohit for Captaincy looking at his superior records as compared to Virat. No offences intended,

Not sure bro if BCCI wants 2 captains for each format.

Australia made 233/2 in 20 overs.

Absolute mayhem and bloodbath at the Adelaide oval. The Australian batsmen were brutal, and treating the Sri Lankan pacers like club cricketers.

One sided game and CA was complaining about why people are not buying ticket, one of my friend was saying that less than 15k people bought the tickets and then CA literally gave away tickets for free just to bring crowds.

India is the no.1 ranking team in most formats as per the ICC official rankings. But when was the last time they won a major ICC tournament? I can't remember any during the last 2-3 years. T20 has been especially problematic for them, as they had a few high-profile defeats recently. And the last time India won the T20 world cup was more than twelve years ago.

Rank 1 in Test
Rank 2 in ODI
Rank 4 in T-20

True Indian team sucks in T-20 and they are struggling to win any ICC tournament. if it continues then there are good chances of being chokers in the ODI. its safe to say Virat is not lucky captain when we talk about winning the tournament... be it ICC WC,CT or IPL same story Grin

I agree. It's high time that BCCI considers Rohit for Captaincy looking at his superior records as compared to Virat. No offences intended, but I usually compare Virat with Sachin, both are amazing batsman, great players, but Sachin couldn't do wonders for Team India under his captaincy. With a great IPL winning record, I hope Saurav Ganguly would now bring up the talks of Rohit becoming India's new T20 captain prior to next year's T20 World Cup

I admit that India is slowly taking over the chokers tag from South Africa in top ICC tournaments while South Africa is slowly moving down the rankings these days. However, I blame the rules more than anything else.

What an amazing century by Warner, it looks like he is back in form and its hard to believe that it was his first T20 century. Sri Lanka are struggling to survive and are looking like they will be bowled out before the 20 overs. Its been a poor performance by Sri Lanka but they do seem to play poorly in Australia so I'm not surprised.

Not just Warner, the whole Australian side showed up a magnificent performance. This 134 runs defeat after shattering down at 99, shows how poor Sri Lanka has been lately. Sri Lanka is stuck on a downward slope after Sangakara and Jayawardhne's era. Australia showed close to perfect performance today. Only chances Sri Lanka will have in the next game, will be if they improve their bowling attack, possibly by bringing in Udana and Kumara (replacing Sandakan and maybe Rajitha)

56 Balls Century by Davy!! What an innings. Surely a statement for every team out there, speaking for how ready he is for next years T20 World Cup
