The third and final ODI between India and Sri Lanka will be played tomorrow. Sri Lanka is ahead by a margin of 1-0, after they managed to tie the first match and win the second one. So the momentum is with them. And what makes the match interesting tomorrow is that rain interruption is being predicted. This is the worst possible outcome for India, since they will lose the series if the 3rd match gets washed out. I would have suggested a few changes to the Indian XI, but from what I heard they will be going with an unchanged XI from the second match.

They would want to go in the ground for the 3rd ODI but they still have to wait for another day. I don't understand why there is so much gap between the ODIs. All ODIs are to be played in Colombo, so there is no such thing as the team having to travel between cities etc. Anyway, all eyes are on tomorrow's final ODI match of this series.

There was 1 day rest period between first two and in latter 2 is 2 day rest period, I don't think it's that long, rather I feel they should have kept 2 day rest between first two too.

Why do the teams need two days rest period after playing an ODI match? It is not that hectic and all the players should have the fitness to play back to back ODI matches. One day of rest between each match is enough in today's world.
Yeah if there is any upcoming weekend, then the match can be scheduled in a way that it happens on Sunday or on holiday to get more crowds in, but even after the 2 day break, we will have the match on Wednesday, a working day.

Pakistan A vs Bangladesh A

Anyone here to watch this unofficial ODI match among Pakistan A sqaud against Bangladesh A sqaud. This ODi match was finished today among these squads. In this match we see very interesting and epic moments with great bowling inning performance of Pakistan A sqaud against batter of Bangladesh A sqaud. Bangladesh A sqaud has begun this match first with batting Inning by losing toss task and Pakistan A sqaud bowlers displayed significant performance and restricted the batters of Bangladesh A sqaud at just 78 scores in 50 overs inning. Allah batters of Bangladesh A sqaud played very badly with low quality defeating target they set. Pakistan A sqaud has good talented players in bowling like Muhammad Imran, he wiped out 3 wickets of batter, Khurram Shahzad cleared out 2 wickets, Mubasir Khan picked up 2 wickets, Mubasir Khan also wiped out 2 and last one Arafat Minhas also picked one wicket. This was the easy victory for Pakistan A sqaud to achieve low score target.

The Pakistan A team has easily won the match against the Bangladesh A team. Once again, we have seen no good performance by Sahibzada Farhan as he was out on the zero score, without making any runs. 

In the last test match both innigs, he has not performed well as he has to do. Yes, in the first match first innings, he made good score between 70 and 80 in good balls according to the test format but now he is not playing well. The middle order of the Pakistan A team is very good and strong and they manage to win hard matches before and today too but today’s, there was easy match for them.

I think the in tomorrow’s match too, the Sri Lanka team will win as they are leading the series and will enter with full confidence in the ground tomorrow. The Indian team has all the players, those who have the ability to change the game momentum but still they are losing against Sri Lanka.



Tomorrow the Sri Lanka team could take revenge for the T20 series being washed out against India because if they win tomorrow's match then they wash out to India in ODI as well. Yes, in the first match of the ODI series, there was rain but except for that match Sri Lanka can whitewash India tomorrow.
