Sri Lanka have lost in the first two matches which means there is a high chance of Sri Lanka losing in the third match as well. That is, whether Sri Lanka can save themselves from being whitewashed, it will be understood in the third match. Sri Lanka lost the first match by a narrow margin but Sri Lanka lost the second match by a huge margin of 45 runs. If Sri Lanka plays the third match with the same squad then there will definitely be more chances of defeat in the third match as well.
Sri Lanka lost very badly in two consecutive matches but in my opinion i will blame everything on sri lanka bowling and batting as there were many weak points from their bowling and batting. In both the matches, new zealand bowling and batting sides were good and they tried to win the match with a storming pace and succeeded. According to me in t20 one should always score more runs so that it becomes difficult for the opposite side to pick up that donation. Also sri lanka player nissanka batted well in the first t20 match but everyone else played really bad. In fact the sri lankan team has seen more deterioration since some of the older players retired.

Sydney Sixers seems to be struggling in their chase against Hobart Hurricanes, in the 18th match of this season's Big Bash League. They have lost three quick wickets, with Waqar Salamkheil, Chris Jordan and Nikhil Chaudhary all picking one scalp each. BTW, it is interesting to see Nikhil Chaudhary back in the Hobart Hurricanes squad. He was briefly suspended after a previous rape charge against him was revealed. In this match his performance was good with the bat as well (scored 42 from 31 balls).
It was a difficult target for Sydney Sixers because firstly their batsmen did not play well and they could not score many runs due to the pressure on them. They played hard and well which is why they won the match. Their batsmen also gave a target of 161 in 20 overs if seen such a target is common in this league but in this league every team bowling is very good due to which strong and weak targets are also achieved. But in this match Sydney Sixers could score only 111 runs and the entire team got out in 19 overs and lost the match.Sydney Sixers must not play like this in their next match or they will see their points drop very quickly. 
New Zealand International T20 cricket team will play next match tomorrow against Sri Lankan International cricket team. Both teams are playing series against each other and New Zealand team performance is good because that team won first 2 matches of the series and last match had importance but Sri Lankan team should try to win this match to save their respect.
Both teams have young player because many players took retirement but these are future of their country and they have to work on their skills and after they will play important role for the win of their country. New Zealand team won last match one sided and Sri Lankan team could not chase in this match and I think in next match Sri Lankan team should try to win the toss and after they should try to fat first and give a good target on board and then they could be winner of next match.
New Zealand played a good match second time and won two matches and their performance was impressive both times. They showed everyone their skill really well. The performance of New Zealand team in the match was full strength and energy. The New best batting performance was by Mitchell Hay. New Zealand won the game by 45 runs. Congratulations New Zealand for their upcoming matches. New Zealand set a total runs for 186 and won the match. Sri lanka team did not chase total runs for 141 and lost the match. The 2nd match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka was played at Bay Oval Stadium .Sri Lanka team won toss and they elected field first. The best bowling performance in the New Zealand team was by Jacob Duffy and bowled scored 4 over conceded 15 runs and took 4 wickets . Congratulations to New Zealand. Both teams have young player because many players took retirement but these are future of their country and they have to work on their skills and after they will play important role for the win of their country. New Zealand team won last match one sided and Sri Lankan team could not chase in this match and I think in next match Sri Lankan team should try to win the toss and after they should try to fat first and give a good target on board and then they could be winner of next match.
In the first three matches of BPL we saw big scores but in the fourth match we didn't see big scores at all. The match between Rangpur Riders and Sylhet Strikers was a low scoring match.
Rangpur Riders scored 155 runs against Sylhet Strikers in the first innings but Sylhet Strikers could not chase down this easy target. Early on, the Sylhet Strikers batsmen were seen batting very slowly and they played too many dot balls. If the opening batsmen could have scored well early on and given the team some runs then maybe the late batsmen would have tried to win. Anyway, in the fourth match of BPL, Rangpur Riders defeated Sylhet Strikers by 34 runs.
After winning two matches in a row, Rangpur Riders are already at the top of the points table with four points.

Another win for Rangpur Riders, back to back victory. Yesterday they were facing Sylhet Strikers. Rangpur Riders were confident because they already coming after win the previous game. However, they are leading the table right now and can they make their dream come true of becoming champions of this season. This time the different vibes are coming from the team. Let's see what will happen, it's just the beginning of this season.
Sri Lanka have lost in the first two matches which means there is a high chance of Sri Lanka losing in the third match as well. That is, whether Sri Lanka can save themselves from being whitewashed, it will be understood in the third match.

If Sri Lanka plays the third match with the same squad then there will definitely be more chances of defeat in the third match as well.
Yes, You are right It is very important for Sri Lanka to win the last match if they want to avoid the Whitewashed. New Zealand has had a very outstanding performance in the first two matches and very likely they are favorite to win last one. Sri Lanka lost the first match because of their mistake, if they had won the first match the series would have been level. The last match and the series will be played in the morning. Sri Lanka needs to changes his batting order and make some changes in playing XI if they want to scored huge run on board. I hope that the Sri Lankan team will make a comeback in this and win this match to avoid being whitewashed.

Sri Lanka have confirmed their series loss with 1 match remaining. I think Sri Lanka went into the field with their best XI from the announced squad for the second match of the 3-match T20 series against New Zealand. But the second match was a bigger loss than the first match. I don't think it is possible to form a better XI from this squad. In the last match of the series, we may be seeing Sri Lanka lose again and Sri Lanka is going to see a series whitewash.New Zealand's added advantage at home and their great form is definitely a cause for concern for Sri Lanka. Even in terms of T20 rankings, Sri Lanka is a bit of a weak team. Considering their recent form and the field, New Zealand will definitely get extra support for a win and maybe New Zealand will win the match very easily. Sri Lanka will go into the field with the aim of avoiding a shameful whitewash by winning the last match, which is definitely going to be a tough match for Sri Lanka. Although the chances of a change in the Sri Lankan XI are very slim, they may innovate their plans and field two legspinners. In this case, we may see Jeffrey Vandersay in the XI instead of Mathisha Pathirana. On the other hand, it is more likely that New Zealand will see an unchanged XI.
As we have Sri Lanka defeated in first game of the series now I strongly believe they deserved to be whitewashed because after having good start and control of game suddenly they have gone like crap and also lost game is surely shameful for them opening stand ended on 121 then rest of team fail to score anything good specially all players gone on single digit in second game we have again good batting from New Zealand but sadly Sri Lankan batting down badly.
We have few personal good performances from Jacob Duffy, Pathum Nissanka and Wanindu Hasaranga which are good for the game and these countries hopefully we will have good contest in last game on Thursday after this ODI series could be also well-balanced.

This series was between two teams in rebuilding phase. Sri Lanka has been on the downslide ever since their legends such as Malinga retired, while the same can be said about New Zealand who are struggling as a result of the absence from Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson and Lockie Ferguson. But Gen X has more than made up for the absence of experienced players, for both the teams. Rachin Ravindra has been exceptional, while Jacob Duffy and Matt Henry has filled the vacuum at the bowling department. For Sri Lanka, Nuwan Thushara has been impressive with the ball, while Pathum Nissanka is doing the job with the bat.

Rangpur Riders did not made the good start as their major players lost their wickets in the early stages and it became hard for them to be score good in power play but after struggling too much, they finally scored between 30 to 40 in the power play which cannot be consider as a good batting.
Also at the same time, they were losing wickets but somehow their middle order batsmen played a little bit of good innings and they scored more than 150 which was also not bad. But on the other side Sylhet Strikers had a good start but can't maintain it till the end.
Rangpur Riders really had difficult beginning losing important players early which made it hard for them to score a lot in power play. However middle part of their team showed some strength helping them get good total of more than 150. On the other hand Sylhet Strikers started very strongly but were unable to keep that going for whole game. It will be interesting to see how both teams learn from what happened and change their plans for next matches. Also at the same time, they were losing wickets but somehow their middle order batsmen played a little bit of good innings and they scored more than 150 which was also not bad.

The only thing left for Sri Lanka in this series is to avoid whitewash and this is possible only if they won third T20I. Sri Lanka played well in first T20I but New Zealanders dominated today's game. Today New Zealand gave target of 186 and Sri Lankans were 45 runs short of this target. Now pressure is on Sri lanka in the final game and they have the capability to win the last T20I to avoid whitewash. To win the last game, Sri Lanka need to control New Zealand batters and stop them from giving big target in case they are batting first.
Sri Lanka main goal now is to stop New Zealand from winning all games in series. They can only do this if they win third T20I game. In first match Sri Lanka played well but New Zealand played better in second game. Sri Lanka tried to catch up to New Zealand score of 186 but they were 45 runs short. Now Sri Lanka is under pressure to do well in last match but they are good enough to win and not lose all games. To win they need to stop New Zealand batsmen from scoring too many runs especially if New Zealand bats first.Yes, one of the goals of Sri Lanka at present is that they do not get whitewashed in the T20 series, if they can win the third match against New Zealand, then they will win at least one match in the series. I think Sri Lanka will play well enough to make New Zealand lose their next match and they will try their best to beat New Zealand. If Sri Lanka can perform better in their third match compared to the last two matches, then it will definitely guide them to win. But of course Sri Lanka will have to put pressure on the New Zealand batsmen so that they do not score more runs, if they score more runs, then Sri Lanka will have less chance of winning. So if Sri Lanka can get the top order batsmen of New Zealand out early, then Sri Lanka will have more chance of winning.
There has been plenty inside-out catches on boundary rope before but imo this one takes the cake, such an effortless stuff from Maxwell! : https://x.com/BBL/status/1874387852894572561
Sydney Sixers seems to be struggling in their chase against Hobart Hurricanes, in the 18th match of this season's Big Bash League. They have lost three quick wickets, with Waqar Salamkheil, Chris Jordan and Nikhil Chaudhary all picking one scalp each. BTW, it is interesting to see Nikhil Chaudhary back in the Hobart Hurricanes squad. He was briefly suspended after a previous rape charge against him was revealed. In this match his performance was good with the bat as well (scored 42 from 31 balls).

Yes in the first three matches of BPL we saw big scores but suddenly in the fourth match these two teams scored very less runs ie the fourth match became a low scoring match. The way the batsmen of Sylhet Sixers were scoring runs from the beginning, it seemed that they would win this match very easily. Sylhet Sixers played very well in the mandatory power play i.e. they scored 48 runs in the first 6 overs. Sylhet Sixers batsmen tried to score runs at a fast pace from the very beginning.Rangpur Riders scored 155 runs against Sylhet Strikers in the first innings but Sylhet Strikers could not chase down this easy target.

You need a little correction because Rangpur Riders have won two consecutive matches so they have the most points. If a team has the most points in the points table then that team is on top. You wrote at the bottom of the point table without mentioning the word "above" the point table.
