India VS Srilanka

The match has started and India is batting first as they won the toss. The pitch does favor the side batting first, expecting a similar outcome to yesterday. For India to enter the finals of the Asia Cup they need to either win today or against Bangladesh. They are way ahead in points and NRR, which means Indian players won't be under any pressure. For now already 4 overs have been bowled and India has scored 21 runs. Both openers are looking good and aggressive against the Srilankan bowlers.

After winning the toss, India's two openers are batting very carefully today. They know this very well for India that if they stay at the crease, giving a target of 300+ is not a difficult task. India collected only 25 runs in 5 overs. On an average they collected 5 runs per over, the Indian team has not lost a single wicket yet. Rohit Sharma scored 12 runs from 20 balls and Shubman Gill remained unbeaten with 12 runs from 10 balls. So far the scenario is similar to the previous match. Rohit Sharma is batting very slow and Gill is playing aggressively. Although this is Sri Lanka's home match. However, I don't think Sri Lanka can take any home advantage. We will see the dominance of Indian players only.

Sri Lanka vs India

Today is the 10th Asia Cup match of Super Four Zone. This is the second big match which will India play. And India already played a match with Pakistan with great performance. And now they will face the second big team Sri Lanka. So I can't say anything at this time because both teams are good and have good performance in previous matches. So this is really hard to predict at this time. So let's wait for the match.

The 4th match of the Super Four Asia Cup between India and Sirlanka has started. India won the Toss and decided to bat first in Colombo. This is a good pitch to bat first in the previous night match while batting first India set a high total for Pakistan. So india batted first and set a good target for Srilanka in this match. Now the Current score of India is 44 runs in 8.2 overs. Both openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill batted well. Rohit Sharma reached yet another career milestone in ODI cricket 10,000 runs

 Rohit Sharma is playing at 23 runs in 31 balls and Shubman Gill is playing at 14 runs in 20 balls. I think if this partnership between Rohit and gill continues and more than 100 runs then India will go to score 330 plus runs which is very difficult for Sirlanka to chase such a big target. Sirlinka has some quality spin bowling attach they need wickets to restrict India to a low total. India is playing with three quality left spinners Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadhu and Ravindra Jadeja.

India's two openers batting impressively in today's match. India collected 48 runs at the end of 9 overs, India collected 17 runs in the last over of power play. At the end of 10 overs, India collected 65 runs without losing any wicket.

Rohit Sharma started his innings very slowly. But now Rohit's strike rate is more than 100. Rohit Sharma collected 39 runs off 37 balls. And Shubman Gill remains unbeaten on 18 off 23 balls. The performance of Sri Lankan bowlers is very poor. And if this continues today India will give a target of 380-400. Because every batsman in India has the ability to bat at a smart strike rate. So Sri Lanka team will have to be defeated by a huge margin if they don't pick up quick wickets.

I have some information about the Pakistan cricket team so I am thinking I need to share this thing with you. As you know, yesterday was the match of Pakistan vs India and Pakistan three players were injured during the match. The player's name is Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Salman Agha. These three are the best players of Pakistan.


So, PCB decided that these are the best players, and if these players get injured then what we use for the World Cup. So, that's why PCB decided that Shah Nawaz Dhani and Zaman Khan should come for the remaining Asia Cup matches and most probably, we see Shah Nawaz Dhani and Zaman Khan in the remaining matches of the Asia Cup.

Till the 11th over we only saw dominance from India's two openers. But then India started losing wickets very quickly due to Dunith Wellalage's brilliant bowling. India lost the wicket of Shubman Gill by 80 runs. Gill got out after collecting 19 runs off 25 balls. And even after that, Kohli could not do well even in batting. Kohli returned to the dressing room after collecting 3 runs off 12 balls. India also lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma for 91 runs.

At the end of 18 overs, India collected only 103 runs with the loss of three wickets. India still has the potential to score big. Because Rahul and Ishan Kishan at the crease are very talented players. Even if these two batsmen can survive at the crease, India will be able to collect 300 very easily.

[JSRAW]

That's what a good spinner does to you when he gets some assistance from the pitch.

Indian openers were looking comfortable and then came a 20 year old left arm Dunith Wellalage and picked up 3 big wickets. Sri Lankans are back in the game and they should put more pressure on the new batters. If this pitch keeps assisting spinners then Axar, Jaddu and Kuldeep are going to create a lot of problems for Lankans.

Sri Lanka vs India

Today is the 10th Asia Cup match of Super Four Zone. This is the second big match which will India play. And India already played a match with Pakistan with great performance. And now they will face the second big team Sri Lanka.

Yeh there performance against Pakistan was phenomenal and they really shocked each and every fan from all around the world, Virat and Rahul really changed the entire momentum of match, but anyway it's done now we head to India vs sirilanka, start of them were quite good and we expect that they will continue thier form but unfortunately they can't, indian side took bat first but now situation is totally against them because they lose thier important first 3 batter which are previous match performer.
Anyway sirilankan has home ground edge and they really utilize such opportunity by collecting as much as possible wickets before they done any big damage with a high target, from current situation India will score around 250 which will be a quite good defendable target if they able to took sirilankan important wickets in early overs

India VS Srilanka
....SNIP

Asia Cup Super Four match between India and Srilanka has already started. At this moment, the Indian team is in a very bad situation because the Indian team already lost their top gems like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. Rohit Sharma's performance will be quite magnificent. He made half century and scored 53 runs in 40 runs. The other two players Kohli and Gill scored only a few runs and were out by the same bowler Dunith Wellalage. The Sri Lanka team gave a very tough time to India and India had a lot of pressure. But they still have a chance if Kishan and Rahul make a brilliant partnership and secure victory. The bowling performance of Sri Lanka was outstanding, especially Dunith Wellalage who took three wickets of Indian batsman. Let's see how many wickets he takes and what India can set a target.

[Bitcoin_people]

Batting first against Sri Lanka, India have already lost 3 wickets. India are not batting very well in today's match as they have not scored many runs and what wickets have fallen. But India's match against Pakistan was excellent and Indian batsmen batted brilliantly and scored a lot of runs. Today's match is not so good batting performance by India for which the run rate has not increased much at the moment. But India has more chances of winning than Sri Lanka today, maybe India can win today's match against Sri Lanka. At the moment, India has scored 111 runs in 21 overs and lost 3 wickets.

[Haunebu]

This defeat might turn into a blessing in disguise for Pakistan if they manage to sort things out with their spin department and not rely on pace battery all the time.

I doubt it. Shadab is the only consistent spinner in their ranks and it doesn't feel like that's going to change anytime soon based on what I observed. They need more all-rounders like Shahid Afridi, Razzaq etc.

Today's match is not so good batting performance by India for which the run rate has not increased much at the moment. But India has more chances of winning than Sri Lanka today, maybe India can win today's match against Sri Lanka.

Not so good? They are on track to reach 300 which would be a great score against the Lankans.

I see the big difference between India's performance yesterday and India's performance today it can be Sri Lanka getting their home ground benefit of the tie.
Anyway already India lost their five wickets,  most of the  good batters  got outed.  Sri Lankan bowlers are perfectly   doing there performance today  the swing of the bowl  made uncomfortable  in Batman.

But it still on of the big wicket is  on the pitch, I am saying about  Hardik,  so let's say  they have still 5 wicket , Can they able to task  a good  target for Sri Lanka. Indians bowlers are also good, their performance now will tell what is going to happen in the match. But I think Sri lanka's chances is more than india.

[Popkon6]

India team performed very badly today. After losing five wickets, the batting lines are basically weakened and it is not possible for the Indian team to score big at the moment. Sri Lankan skipper Dunith Wellalage has single-handedly lost 4 wickets giving just 39 runs in nine overs. Best bowling performance of Sri Lankan team today. If the Indian team continues to lose wickets then I can predict that it will not be more than 250 runs. Today I see no pair of Indian team can last long.

[Hirose UK]

Yesterday Pakistan lost the match against India. This is the 2nd match between Pakistan and India in this Asia Cup. India won the match with 228 runs. The first match between Pakistan and India was played in Kandy.

In Kandy, we saw an amazing bowling performance from Pakistan and we saw only one innings, We saw only India batting but, we didn't see the bowling of India. I think so, The credit for India winning goes to Bumrah.

It was indeed an easy match for India to win and they managed to get 228 runs against Pakistan.
Since the start of the match India was seen dominating the game and had a run advantage until the end even though Pakistan had tried to catch up but it was all in vain because India was increasingly active in creating run after run to increase their lead and win.

And from winning this third Super Four match India went on to the fourth match against Sri Lanka but it looks like India was not like yesterday against Pakistan.
Maybe there is a decline in performance because the players are still draining too much energy from the previous match.

Lankans spin the shit out of India today. At one point Indian openers were feasting but ah after 11 overs all went down the drain.

There was one partnership building up between Kishan and Rahul but they also fell to spin, So far Spin has taken all 9 wickets and Indian spinners must be licking their lips as well. Having said that Indians are still short of 15-ish more runs, as far as competitive score is concerned.  Maybe some cameo from Axar could change the balance? We still have 3 overs left, he still needs to farm strike tho.

[rojan]

South Africa vs Australia 3rd ODI match has already started between the two teams. Australia team won the toss and elected to bowl. Now South Africa come to bat. 205 runs in 32.3 overs. South Africa have lost 2 wickets so far. Quinton  de Kock was dismissed for 82 off 77 balls. Quinton de Kock could have reached 100 today if he had played a few more overs but he was out before that. Temba Bavuma was dismissed for 57 off 62 balls. Today's match is between the two teams.  I do not understand that it will be victory. But I hope to enjoy a very beautiful match between the two teams.

@JSRAW just when it felt that team India was bouncing back and was looking to be a dominant force once again the Lankans exposed them and I’m actually happy that they did because it’ll give the team management enough time before the World Cup to work on these recurring issue’s. Further let’s see if the Indian bowlers can redeem themselves by saving the team from an embarrassing defeat, but given the weather conditions team India might just be spared from an defeat too.

South Africa vs Australia match South Africa are batting first innings and they have already scored 224 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. If South Africa can't win in this third ODI match today, it might not be possible for them to win the series. Because South Africa lost against Australia in the previous two matches and if no one can win today's match against South Africa Australia then the ODI series will be lost. However, if the South African batsmen can perform well in today's match then it will definitely be possible for them to win the match, they have already managed to collect 224 runs in 35 overs. If the two batsmen who are present at the crease can hold on, maybe 300+ runs can be scored. And if South Africa can score 300 plus runs against Australia then it will definitely be possible to win the match.

India team performed very badly today. After losing five wickets, the batting lines are basically weakened and it is not possible for the Indian team to score big at the moment. Sri Lankan skipper Dunith Wellalage has single-handedly lost 4 wickets giving just 39 runs in nine overs. Best bowling performance of Sri Lankan team today. If the Indian team continues to lose wickets then I can predict that it will not be more than 250 runs. Today I see no pair of Indian team can last long.

India lost only 3 wickets when they scored 132 runs and saw a good partnership between Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul. In this match no one could have imagined that the situation of the team would be so bad after the breakup of this partnership. The next 5 wickets were lost for just 29 runs. For which total score expecting 220 is very difficult. But rain stopped the match. Play stopped after 47 overs If 3 more overs had been managed India might have lost all their wickets before the allotted 50 overs. We are getting this very positive signal that the match will start very soon with losing any overs.

When Indian batsmen KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan were batting, there was a confidence that India might make a good run in today's match. But when those two got out, desperation started to set in among the Indian batsmen, and they ended up losing wickets quickly. And due to this bad batting performance today, India may lose the match against Sri Lanka. Although the match was stopped due to rain now it has started with only one wicket remaining so Indian batsmen will lose a complete wicket. It is doubtful whether the Indian batsmen will be able to collect 220 runs at the end of 50 overs, they are already batting under a lot of pressure. But today Sri Lanka's bowling line was excellent and interesting especially two famous Sri Lankan bowlers Charith Asalanka, Dunith Wellalage both made the game interesting. Dunith Wellalage took 5 wickets and Charith Asalanka got 4 wickets, their bowling performance was excellent. However, today's match might be auspicious for Sri Lanka, as if they can improve their batting performance as they have improved their bowling performance, they will win the match against India.
