In Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan 1st ODI match Sri Lanka team now comes to bat. 61 runs in 8 overs. Sri Lanka team has not lost any wicket till now let's see how well Sri Lanka team can perform in today's match. I think Sri Lanka  Lanka team may be able to give a target of 290 runs in today's match and if they can't score 290 runs, it will be very difficult for Sri Lanka team to win this match. If the bowling line of Afghanistan team performs poorly, Sri Lanka team will win this match very easily.

Sri Lanka batsman played very well and worked hard and struggle and make 381 run.This is the good and very hard target for Afghanistan batsman.The Afghanistan bowler did not work hard and struggled at all and could not stop the runs.  Rather they have achieved a big target of 381.  Which is not going to be fulfilled by them. If they do it will be a big win for them and Sri Lanka's hard work will go down the drain.  But according to my estimation Sri Lanka will win the match and get victory.If Afghanistan bowlers worked hard and struggle they could have won this match.  But now they are ready to lose.The match is on now.  Now let's see who wins.

In this post, I will be going to tell the most unluckiest countries ever in cricket history, and the most interesting of cricket is there but they are the most unluckiest team ever. They had players, rankings all the things but lost World Cups.

These are the three countries so I will finish it in detailed posts. Yes, I am talking about India and Pakistan, and New Zealand, but in New Zealand, they did not too much interest in cricket. Let's come to New Zealand: They lost the 2011 World Cup semi-final against Australia and the 2015 World Cup final match and then the 2019 World Cup final they lost because Ben Stokes cheated and New Zealand lost. Then, 2021 World Cup final, they lost against Australia and after that, they lost the 2022 World Cup semi-final against Pakistan, and in the last World Cup 2023, they lost the semi-final.

Nissanka : Wow! A double centurion from Sri Lanka after what feels like an eternity. What a knock! Afghanistan bowling keeps going down the drain recently. Nabi is playing a gem of an innings both with the bat and ball.

On the other hand, Omarzai is supporting him very nicely. I still feel that Afghanistan will come slightly close and lose. Great fightback!

I thought Sri Lanka would score between 300-320. Lanka's opening pair of Nissanka and Avishka Fernando batted brilliantly, putting on a partnership of 182 runs. Avishka Fernando was dismissed for 88 but Nissanka continued to bat at one end. Nissanka completed his first career double century, remaining unbeaten on 210 runs from start to finish. Sri Lanka was able to set a target of 382 runs due to the skill of the opening batsmen. Afghanistan started to bat and started losing wickets and lost five wickets to score 55 runs. Azmatullah and Nabi are batting brilliantly in the sixth wicket partnership, both of them are already batting on the pitch with centuries. Afghanistan still need 116 runs from 42 balls. If the pair survive I think Afghanistan will lose by a close margin.

Yes, the fight between the two teams is quite intense, although this match is sure to be defeated by the Afghanistan cricket team, still the players of the Afghanistan cricket team are passing the innings through hard efforts. The Afghanistan cricket team's batsmen have reduced the target gap given by the Sri Lankan cricket team a lot. Because of the failure of the bowlers, the batsmen of the Afghanistan cricket team have to work so hard in this match. Afghanistan cricket team still needs 70 runs from 16 balls to meet the target given by Sri Lanka cricket team. Now let's see how many runs Afghanistan cricket team must lose against Sri Lanka cricket team in today's match.

I was very surprised by Sri Lanka's batting today. This  team has collected 381 runs today. We have not seen such great batting from Sri Lankan players for a long time.

Pathum Nissanka remained unbeaten with 210 runs  off 139 balls. We  haven't seen such great batting in a long time. He batted very well. After giving such a big target, Sri Lanka had no chance of defeat. On the other hand, Afghanistan's top order batted very poorly. Afghanistan team lost 5 wickets for only 55 runs. However, Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi's responsible batting helped Afghanistan collect big. Omarzai was unbeaten on 142 off 113 balls. And Mohammad Nabi scored 136 runs off 130 balls. Afghanistan managed to collect 339 runs in 50 overs.

I will be going to tell the most unluckiest countries ever in cricket history,

As you know, in the last post, we knew about New Zealand, and in this post, we will know about India. India is also a team that has the same conditions as New Zealand.

They lost the 2015 World Cup semi-final, and then the 2016 World Cup semi-final in their home ground against West Indies, and after that next year, they lost the Champions Trophy 2017 against Pakistan on 18th June, and then 2019 is coming, that was the last World Cup of MS Dhoni and on 2019 Semi-final Dhoni was run out and after that we never see him.
In 2021, they lost the match with Pakistan and that was a remarkable loss for them. Pakistan won that with 10 wickets, and then they out from the World Cup. In 2022, they lost the Semi-final to England where Ben Stokes and Alex Hales got a wonderful partnership, and you know that in 2023.

Sri Lanka team and Afghanistan team match match today I am betting in favor of Sri Lanka team. I am worried about which team will win today's match. Sri Lanka team is batting now. 152 runs in 23.4 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka scored 41 runs in 61 balls.  .Avishka Fernando scored 73 runs off 67 balls.Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando two batsmen started batting well.

Sri Lanka team effort in this 1 st game was brilliant in batting lineup and they set 381 runs target which was very big target in 50 overs by losing 3 wickets only. P.Nissanka batsman of Sri Lanka team struggle was very commendable and with not dismissed P.Nissanka scored total 210 runs in 139 balls with twenty 4s and eight 6s. Now the game was overs and P.Nissanka also got a player of game award due batting effort. A.Fernando  also played well and scored 88 runs in 88 balls with eight 4s and three 6s. Afghanistan team effort was also good but target was very big and Afghanistan team failed to chase down this big target and Lost this game by 42 runs. A.Omarzai also got a century and total made 149 runs in 125 balls and M Nabi also played well and he scored 136 runs with fifteen 4s and  three 6s in 130 balls.

This is the last part and come to the Pakistan cricket team. In 2015, Ahmed Shehzad dropped the catch and we went out for the World Cup then in 2019 they lost against New Zealand which be caused them out from World Cup, and then in 2021 when the Pakistan team's peak time was started so on that time, Australia broke it on semi-final where Hassan Ali dropped a catch of Mattew Wade and then he finished the game by hitting a scope shot.

Then Pakistan's team lost the match by India when the umpire is not good and they did wrong no ball. After that, Pakistan by chance qualified for the semi-final and won it, then they played the final with England and Pakistan almost won it but Shaheen 2 overs left and at that time, he had a foot injury and Pakistan lost that match again, and on 2023 the last wicket of South Africa is on and Haris Rauf is on bowling, the match is playing in Chennai and Rauf did LBW and all team was out but the umpire didn't give it and Pakistan didn't have a review but after some balls, they told that it was out but Pakistan lose it, and out from World Cup.

Sri Lanka has set a huge target. It is very difficult for any big team to win this target. I have yet to see a match where a team has scored more than 382 runs in the second innings. However, even then Afghanistan players batted very well. Had Afghanistan's top order played well, they might have won. Afghanistan team lost wickets very quickly.
Afghanistan lost 5 of their batsmen to collect only 55 runs. I thought Afghanistan would probably lose by more than 200 in today's match. But due to the responsible batting of Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi, Afghanistan managed to collect 339 runs after 50 overs. Afghanistan was defeated by just 42 runs. Omarzai remained unbeaten with 149 runs.

AFG came very close to the Target and I see it is a positive sign for the future of Afghanistan because they have been continuously evolving in the recent past years and I believe they can be a good team before the next WC cycle.

Absolute run feast and over 700 runs scored in both the innings which we don't see very often. And 200 looks easy than previous era but still 200 is 200 and Nisanka will be a very happy man to be one among the very few players in that double ton list.

It was beyond my imagination that a team could collect 339 runs after losing 5 wickets for 55 runs. After a long time we saw great batting from both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. If Kushal Mendis had not batted at a strike rate of just 51, then Sri Lanka could have given a target of 400+ today, Mendis collected only 16 runs from 31 balls.

Azmatullah Omarzai remained unbeaten till the end of the innings. Omarzai was unbeaten with 149 runs. I would have been happy if Omarzai could have collected 150+. However, despite losing the first match, Afghanistan still has a chance to win the series. Looking forward to see how Afghanistan performs in the next two matches.

Conditions also matter. SENA conditions ideally suit Australia. While talking about the senior side, India has world class pacers such as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who neutralize any such advantage. But the U19 squad doesn't have any such edge. India's bowling attack is dominated by spinners, with Saumy Pandey being the top wicket taker in this tournament for them. On the other hand, for Australia Callum Vidler and Tom Straker have been exceptional and both of them are pace bowlers. It is going to be a tough challenge for the Indian batsmen. 

The Indian team was strong now and the pacer like Jasprit Bumrah who becomes the bowler who achieved the first place in all the format now.Because he was top 1 in ODI and T20 format before,with the current match they made the World record of the bowler first in all the three format.So this says the rest of the story,because he had a capacity to change the match at anytime.Mohammed Shami was the top order bowler who played the huge role in the World Cup 2023,This was the reason for the good bowling site from the team India now as compared to the team Australia.Most awaited U19 World Cup also with the team India and Australia.Most probably team India will win this Cup.

Sri Lankans have a record opening partnership of 182 runs that helped them in making 381 runs. Afghanistan lost 5 quick wickets but then there is 242 runs partnership between Azmatullah Omarzai and Muhammad Nabi. Azmatullah Omarzai remain unbeaten on 149 runs that included 6 sixes. Two more matches  still to be played and seeing the performance of Afghanistan in today's game SL must not take them lightly in next matches.

Pathum Nissanka (201*) alone managed to take Sri Lanka's score up to 381 runs. Afghanistan performed relatively well in today's match especially when 5 wickets fall at 55 runs it is eventually  for anyone to guess how a team will perform later but I see Afghanistan's partnership of 242 runs and defeat by just 42 runs to Afghanistan's credit. Here Mohammed Nabi (136) and Azmatullha Omarzai (149) definitely deserve credit for performing so well in the face of adversity.

Usually, this statement is true at the senior level and no one can deny this but I am not sure if it's applicable at the u-19 level as well because India has won twice in finals against Australia in SENA countries.

Both teams are high in confidence because of tight wins in the semis and i hope, no one will back down in the finals so it's 50-50 for me.

I am not agreed about this all as conditions are favourable to Australia as we are in SENA countries because India already beats South Africa and their batting is one of the best which is performing consistently, and their bowlers are also giving them good advantage which is helping to secure this spot and Australia is surely having advantage into bowling, but their batting is not good with in last game against Pakistan while they were chasing just 179 lost 9 wickets which is surely not good even they won and have now final but for me this is going to be good match but with India is going to have another title under their belt.

Tom Straker and Callum Vdler both are good and having good performance, but now they are going to face quality batting which is coming here with all good wins against their opponents.

[Mahdirakib]

Nissanka : Wow! A double centurion from Sri Lanka after what feels like an eternity. What a knock! Afghanistan bowling keeps going down the drain recently. Nabi is playing a gem of an innings both with the bat and ball.

Maybe we shouldn't blame the bowlers today, 720 runs have been scored today by the two teams in 100 overs. There was a collapse in the batting lineup of Afghanistan at the start, but they had made a great comeback. From 55/5 to 339/6 is an epic innings when a team is trying to chase the big target. It wasn't enough for the victory though.

Sri Lanka team and Afghanistan team match match today I am betting in favor of Sri Lanka team. I am worried about which team will win today's match. Sri Lanka team is batting now. 152 runs in 23.4 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka scored 41 runs in 61 balls.  .Avishka Fernando scored 73 runs off 67 balls.Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando two batsmen started batting well.

To be honest Afghani are quite well but they have problem with other format rather than T20, they will threaten more and more heavy side and can smashed them but when it come to different format they collapse and lose their confident which definitely effect thier performance. Anyway your bet were right sirilankan side won after phenomenal opening partnership and magnificent single innings of 210 runs of nissanka set momentum for his team which Carrey on by rest of player and scored a decent target. While when it come to chased time for Afghanistan they lose their first wicket too quick as a result they got pressurized and hus lose 3 to 4 more quick wickets. While at last all-round omerzai and Nabi try hard but unable to divert things toward them and lose an important match.

[Unknown Op]

Afghanistan won the toss and invited Sri Lanka to bat in the first match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan today. In my opinion, it would have been better if the Afghanistan team had batted first in today's first match. We have seen the test match between these two teams where Sri Lanka team performed much better than Afghanistan team and won the match. Now it is waiting to see how well Afghanistan team players can prove themselves as good players in ODI. As today's first match has just started, the course of the game cannot be determined yet. The bowlers of the Afghanistan team have bowled 6.5 overs so far. But in between, the Afghanistan team has not yet shown a strong example of their bowling. Now let's see how well the Afghanistan team can bowl in today's ODI.

On ODI side, Afghanistan tour to Sri Lanka competition was begun today and in this match Sri Lanka squad was begun this match firstly batting Inning by calling of Afghanistan squad. In first match of this ODI competition, Afghanistan squad was lost this match from Sri Lanka squad. Afghanistan squad was not much stronger sqaud in Cricket sport they previously lost many competitions with other sqaud. Afghanistan squad need to improve their batting and bowling innings and some changing in bowling style. Afghanistan squad want to get victory in next remaining matches then they do something and improvement in some major mistakes they can do again and again. Let's come back in today match, Starter batter of Sri Lanka squad was displayed their intense performance Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando. Avishka Fernando Batter achieved 88 scores and Pathum Nissanka batter collected 210 scores.

[cozytrade]

The final match of the ODI series between South Africa and Australia has started. Today's match is expected to be a very exciting one. Because in the previous two matches, both teams have won one match each. Today's match is equal for both teams. The team that can perform well in this match will win the series today. In today's match Australia team won the toss and started batting first. Opening the batting, Australia's two openers are trying to settle into the batting and have collected 16 runs so far in 4.5 overs. I bet for South Africa in today's match. Hope I can win today's match bet. Now let's see what happens in the last stage
