India won because of excellent bowling. Sri Lanka needed 40 runs in the last 4 overs. They failed to collect it. One of the main reasons for Sri Lanka's defeat was their slow batting. Their collection was only 35 runs in the first 5 overs of the power play. The top order players batted like fools. However, the second match looks to be more competitive.
Yeah, India done excellent bowling, but they have not won just because of their bowing they won just because they were lucky in yesterday game otherwise Sri Lanka done good fight, and they lost because they lost few quick early wickets and have done good job in last few overs which helps them for having lost by just two runs as they were losing quick wickets I was expecting big margin win for India but at the end just poor selection of shots give them setback, and they were unable to score five runs from their last three balls even they achieve eight runs in first three balls which was turning point for them, but last three balls completely outclass them, and they lost this match.

^^^ I was also surprised when I heard about Jitesh Sharma. He plays for Vidarbha as a wicket keeper and represents Punjab Kings in the IPL. But the joke is that he is not a regular in either of the two teams. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Prabhsimran Singh are the first choice keepers for the Kings, while Vidarbha mostly rely on Akshay Wadkar. I don't know from where the name of Jitesh suddenly came up for consideration. To be frank I was expecting that either KS Bharat or Anuj Rawat maybe named as the replacement for Sanju Samson.
I want to see Umran bowling against the Australian and English batsmen. Let's see who is going to win the duel. On the other hand, Mavi impressed me yesterday as he was able to perform under extreme pressure.
Once Umran improves his line and length, he could possibly become a deadly force against any team out there.Also, Samson was injured during last match. Now they have called up the injured Jitesh Sharma. Samson fans were celebrating in Twitter after Rishabh Pant got injured and now their own guy is out of action as a result of an injury to his knee. I don't know whether Jitesh will get any chances, as Ishan Kishan is likely to be the first-choice keeper.
Celebrating when Pant almost died? Truly inhuman pieces of crap. Felt sad for Samson too since he truly deserves a lot of chances, but these opportunities keep passing him due to injuries etc. Also, who is Jitesh Sharma? 
India VS Srilanka
The second T20 match between these two countries will be played today. India won the last match due to impressive bowling and fielding but they are struggling will the batting. I hope today they work on their weakness. Pathetic performance by Sanju Samson dropped an easy catch and did not even bat well. If he continues like this then he might get dropped permanently. Subhman Gill's debut match was a disaster. If he wants to permanent his berth in the T20 squad he needs to play big innings. I have a feeling that they both get dropped in today's match.
Srilanka losing an easy match earlier would have realised that they need to work a lot on their batting. They also need batters who can start a partnership rather than going after the bowlers. If they lose today they would lose the series. I am expecting another close encounter between these two today.

If there was better contribution from the top order this could've been a win for Sri Lanka. 162 runs in T20 is reachable target. India was good at bowling and batting too, because there is fall of wickets and the players managed to contributed at the time they're on the crease. The combined contribution of the team is the reason for the win. As it was close, Sri Lanka will come better in the upcoming T20 match.
India won the match despite the average total in first innings and they should be happy about that. But the victory margin was only 2 runs. If they perform like this against one of the weakest test teams (that too at home), then how they will fare against the pig 3? Also, Samson was injured during last match. Now they have called up the injured Jitesh Sharma. Samson fans were celebrating in Twitter after Rishabh Pant got injured and now their own guy is out of action as a result of an injury to his knee. I don't know whether Jitesh will get any chances, as Ishan Kishan is likely to be the first-choice keeper.

@pakhittheboss honestly I felt that team India got lucky, and they deserved to lose this match because they put up a really small total on such a small ground. Furthermore while Mavi did bowl well, but I’m concerned because of his pace he can be beaten easily however only time will tell if team India was right to promote him in the T20 format.
Important aspect is that the Indian bowlers especially the fast bowlers were able to defend the total and Axar Patel bowled the last over and was able to defend the total. The crucial aspect is that the fast bowlers Shivam Mavi and Umran Malik were able to break partnerships whenever it looked promising. Shivam Mavi is having experience playing in the IPL and hopefully we will see Kamlesh Nagarkoti in the team as well in the future.@pakhittheboss honestly I felt that team India got lucky, and they deserved to lose this match because they put up a really small total on such a small ground.

India were lucky for sure, but stating that they deserved to lose is pure nonsense. 160 : Small total? I've seen teams posting way lower totals and successfully defending them in the past for your information.IMO, Mavi has the potential to become one of the future superstars for India in the T20 format. BTW, India was missing a pace bowling all rounder badly.
Future superstar? I doubt that. He's a decent bowler at best. Malik has the potential to become one of the future superstars for India IMO.Lucky because it's high scoring ground and it's almost impossible to defend a 160-ish score here, it happened only 2 times when the score was 200+ and i suppose 190+.
I agree with you. Indians bowled well, but they were very lucky. And so they won. The pitch was not bowling-friendly. The batsmen could easily score runs. Before the start of the match, my guess was that we would see at least 180-plus runs. But they scored only 162 runs. Still they won.
In the second match as well, India is likely to continue the winning streak. But the batsmen must bat more carefully. Sri Lanka is in good form. If India is not able to give a big target in the next match too then they will not be able to win.

28th Match Big Bash League 2022-23 Today's match has not started yet due to rain the match may be delayed for some time. Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat these two teams are ready to play but the match is not starting due to rain. But hopefully very soon. The game will start. Today's match will not be very good. Because of the rain, the condition of the field has deteriorated. Due to which the batsmen will not be able to score runs in the field.
Thunders having their fourth consecutive win against leaders Scorchers which give them second spot in league table after winning the toss Scorchers elect to bat which was good decision, but early wickets give them setback even captain Ashton Turner play an impressive inning which give them 142 runs on board sadly no other batsman able to give him good support with good bowling from Chris Green and Nathan McAndrew helps Thunders for having decent target.While chasing Thunders also lost quick wickets of Hales and Rossouw as Jhye Richardson give early break through to his team but this all was not helpful as Oliver Davies and Alex Ross play hammering inning which helps them for reaching target at the end of 17th over.
I think the three runs in the 18th over was that match for India. Sri Lanka should have done better in that over. And obviously, the top order of Sri Lanka failed to some extent.
But after all, I think Sri Lanka was unlucky. Because India also had a period when the top order did not perform very well in this match. But whenever the match comes down to a 1 or two-run win, that team is certainly lucky to win that match. But after all that single over towards the end, the 18th over was the match in my opinion. That shifted the momentum towards India.
No doubt early quick wickets done damage for them, but they fight back with good performance from captain Shanaka with the help from Wanindu Hasaranga and Chamika Karunaratne specially Karunaratne done good job in last few overs but sadly unable to handle situation clearly in last over even he hit six on the third ball of 20th over which give clearly advantage to Sri Lanka but Axer Patel keep his cool which helps him for giving narrow win to his team by just 2 runs.But after all, I think Sri Lanka was unlucky.

Sri Lanka lost their match in last three balls because while they have eight runs from first three balls things looking easy, but sadly they are unable to take advantage and cool Indians keep their nerve which helps them for having this thrilling win and lead in this series.
Sri Lanka's victory in this T20I game was lost due to some errors. Because Sri Lanka lost all their wickets, they could not bring feedback to the game at the end. Pathum, Theekshana, Dilshan these three games and Sri Lanka are most responsible for losing matches. Because one got zero and the other two got 1 run. And because of Sri Lanka's good bowling system, they lost because they lost all the wickets that ended the match.
I think there are two reasons behind Sri Lanka's defeat of the match. One is their top order batsmen could not do anything for the team. They have to go back early and another is lack of runs in 17th and 18th overs where Sri Lanka could not collect runs as expected. They collected 8 runs in the 17th over and 3 in the 18th over. In my observation Sri Lanka lost the match mainly in these two overs. The victory was possible due to the Indian team especially for the bowlers action. In this match it was good decision to bring Axar Patel in the last over. Axar Patel finished the match with two consecutive run outs and just one run off the last ball.I think the three runs in the 18th over was that match for India.

The match between Perth and Sydney is going on right now. Perth is not performing well at all. They have collected 69 runs for the loss of five wickets in 13 overs.
That is obviously not good enough for them. And if they do not get it big total, I do not think that Sydney is going to have any trouble winning.
Especially how the tournament has recently turned out to be high scoring.
Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat
The match ended in a no result because of rain. Brisbane Heat put on 147 runs for only six wickets in only 13 overs.
It was really explosive performance from them. Sadly, the match did not get played any further.

Umran Malik is capable of bowling at 150-155 kmph, but apart from that his wicket taking skills are not good. Raw pace may be useful to intimidate the opponents, especially while playing against weak teams such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. But it may not work against the pig-3 teams, especially if he can't maintain his line and length. I want to see Umran bowling against the Australian and English batsmen. Let's see who is going to win the duel. On the other hand, Mavi impressed me yesterday as he was able to perform under extreme pressure.

Surprising that you think Mavi as not suitable for T20 because of his low pace. IMO, T20 suits such guys. Those who bowl constantly at 150 kmph, such as Jofra Archer and Dale Steyn have struggled in the T20 format, because the batsmen could use their pace to score boundaries. IMO, Mavi has the potential to become one of the future superstars for India in the T20 format. BTW, India was missing a pace bowling all rounder badly. Vankatesh Iyer was the last one who got selection to the national squad, but his performance has gone downhill since then.
