ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Crypto Library]

Lmao. I knew 358 was way too high for the Lankans considering the fact that India has the best bowling attack among all teams in this tournament. For some reason, Siraj performs extremely well against the Lankans.
16/6 is absolutely insane and embarrassing. India will go back to the top of the table in style with a huge NRR boost.

Sri Lanka have currently lost nine wickets and have taken only 49 runs. I think the lowest score of this ICC World Cup series is going to be today. Even though most of the people thought that India will win today but I did not expect such a bad performance from Sri Lanka. There is no doubt that India is once again going to top the points table ranking. Currently, South Africa is at the top of the points table ranking after playing seven matches and winning six and India has won seven out of seven matches with this match.
India batted very well today but I think there will be a regret among Indian fans that their three batsmen Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer could not score centuries for fome few runs. Mohammed Shami with a total of five wickets and Mohammed Siraj with three wickets did not put India under any pressure today.
edit
Wowh lol, Another wicket fell as I posted, India won the match by 302 runs which is a big target for many teams. However, India once again backed their top position.

[Out of mind]

I am really disappointed with today's cricket match, how India beat Sri Lanka by so many runs. A massive 302-run win could make this school's biggest run win in World Cup history. Sri Lanka lost 10 wickets for 55 runs unselfishly where no team has lost in this position till date Sri Lanka lost against India today. By losing today's match, the Sri Lankan team is completely out of the qualifiers and the World Cup dream is shattered for Sri Lanka. However, India won today's match and moved to the top spot on points, due to the excellent performance of Indian batsmen and bowlers, they have been selected as the strongest team in the ICC World Cup 2023. Moreover, they have played seven matches so far and have won all the matches in a big way, especially today's match against Sri Lanka, they have won by the highest margin of runs. Today's match was lost by Sri Lanka by 55 runs only because of the great favor of the bowlers.

Today's Sri Lankan match reminds me of the Asia Cup match. Same opponent same performance but different ground. Sri Lanka could not even score above the target against India today. I don't understand why Sri Lanka performs so badly against India in major tournaments. 11 batsmen scored only 55 runs, what could be a bigger shame for Sri Lanka. Who will take responsibility for such a shameful defeat. Some people may regret that Sri Lanka's innings was over before they turned on the TV. India scored 350 plus runs against Sri Lanka but in contrast Sri Lanka gave their fans a huge defeat of 300 plus runs.

I did not expect Sri Lanka's batting line to be so bad today. 5 batsmen were out for 0 runs, Pathum Nissanka (0) Dimuth Karunaratne (0) Sadeera Samarawickrama (0) Dushan Hemantha (0) Dushmantha Chameera (0) which was not expected. Mohammed Shami bowled very well and took 5 important wickets. Sri Lanka's total so far has been all out for 55 runs in 19.4 overs. Australia won by the most runs in this World Cup, winning by 309 runs. Today India got the second highest win by 302 runs. Sri Lanka's semi-final dreams seem to have ended here. At the moment, India is number one at the top of the points table. India's semi-final confirmed. Congratulations to India for a huge win today.

[Sithara007]

As I mentioned, India is still behind Sri Lanka as far as the Net Run Rate is considered. Before this match, they were at +1.405, compared to +2.290 for South Africa. India got a massive boost in their NRR from this match and ended up with +2.102, but still a bit lower than the NRR for South Africa. Anyway, none of this should matter now. India has won all of their 7 matches, while South Africa has only 6 to their name. Both the teams are now assured of a spot in the semi-finals. The exact lineup will be known only after 9th round of group phase matches.

[Popkon6]

SriLanka performed very poorly today as India's bowling could not handle the pressure. 5 players of the SriLankan team left the field after scoring 0 runs. Especially the two bowling players of India team, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami, fell the wickets of the SriLankan players, and played the most important role behind the victory of the Indian team. The batting performance was the most famous which won the hearts of the Indian supporters. The SriLankan power play almost helped the key batsmen, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, to collapse.

[Jateng]

The Sri Lankan batsmen are disoriented after coming down to bat against the target of 357 runs given by India. Sri Lanka's first sari batsmen went back to the dressing room helpless against the Indian bowlers. Sri Lanka's current score is seven runs for 4 wickets with 4 overs to play. Sri Lanka's current state of play looks like they will be all out within 100 runs. India bowler Mohammad Siraj is bowling brilliantly. 2023 World Cup The way India is playing this game, it seems that they will play the World Cup final.

India registered a record-breaking 302-run victory against Sri Lanka at Wankhede and became the first team in this World Cup to qualify for the semi-finals. Lowest total in Cricket World Cup by a Test-playing nation.2nd largest defeat by a margin of runs in World Cup history. Joy and History for India. They just can't handle the Indian pace attack. Mohammed Shami was awarded the player of the match for his fiery five-wicket haul 5/18 against Sri Lanka.

Not much can be expected from Sri Lanka in the match against India. I think you must not have forgotten the Asia Cup match in a span of few days where the match was over before it started. Sri Lanka have done fairly well against other opponents in the tournament but whenever they came up against India, they seemed unable to do anything for India. At one time I was watching the score of this match and saw that Sri Lanka had lost four wickets for three runs. If five players of a team are out for 0 runs then we can say 50 runs is a sufficient collection. 

Such matches will bring nothing but disrepute to the organizers and the ICC. Whenever one opponent performs like this against another, people question the cricketing knowledge of that team.

[Mahdirakib]

I am not sure whether they will be able to overtake South Africa in NRR. At this point, Proteas have +2.290, while India is at +1.405. Even if India win by 300+ runs, there is a chance that their NRR may stay below that of South Africa. Anyway, India will be having 7 wins from 7 matches, while South Africa lost the match against Netherlands. And next match for both the teams is going to be at Eden Gardens, where they will face each other. If anyone is going to beat India in this world cup, it is going to be South Africa. This match is going to be epic.

India couldn't beat the NRR of South Africa despite winning the match by 300+ runs. India is quite impressive in this world cup, both batsmen and bowlers are in form now. I also think that the winning streak of India might end against South Africa in the group stage. South Africa has scored above 300+ runs in all those matches when they batted first, and won those matches by a huge margin. SA has batted second in two matches, they lost one of them and narrowly got the victory in the other match. So, I think India won't allow South Africa to bat first if they win the toss.

In today match, Indian squad maintained their winning streak and they won total seven matches including this one match and achieved this victory by fantastic performance in both batting inning and bowling inning. Today, indian squad also made a unbelievable and unbreakable record by winning this match with big margin of 302 scores against Sri Lanka squad. Sri Lanka squad played only 20 overs and pursued only 55 scores. Tremendous performance of Indian bowlers Muhammad Shami and Muhammad Siraj in today match. Muhammad Shami picked up 5 batters and Muhammad Siraj bowler picked up 3 batters of Sri Lanka squad.

After today's match, the Net run rate for the Indian team is still lower than the South African team. NNR for South Africa is 2.290 while for India it is 2.102. Although the Indian team is at the number one spot because they have won all the matches. South Africa also won all matches except one and they are at the number 2 spot.

I am really looking forward to the block buster match between India and South Africa to be played on this Sunday. This could be the trial final, before the actual final may take place between the two teams. Also, i think this match will decide who will top this points table and hence this match is of utmost importance for both the teams.

Mohammed Shami was awarded the player of the match for his fiery five-wicket haul 5/18 against Sri Lanka.

I think Sri Lanka's poor performance as well as poor decision-making played a major role in India's win. After winning the toss, Sri Lanka should have batted themselves. Giving batting to a strong batting attack like India turned out to be a very wrong decision. The mistake that New Zealand made yesterday was also made by Sri Lanka and seeing a target like a mountain in front of them, their batsmen were under pressure from the beginning.

Rather, at one point, four players were out for three runs, the number of wickets falling from runs was more. However, it turned out to be a very one-sided match, and so far in the matches played in this World Cup, there have been very few matches in which the fans got to see a thrilling contest. Which is being sorely missed.

[ZAINmalik75]

What the hell is going on with SriLanka team. They lost 4 wickets. By the way excellent bowling by Muhammed Siraj. He got 3 wickets. I don't think so the SriLanka will go above 50 runs. India confirmed its spot for Semifinal and the performance of India is showing that India will win the world cup. I know its too early to predict but the performance of India is showing everything.

I didn't expect form sirilankan to be exposed like this, at one stage I taught India team were playing against a street boy because opponent didn't show any restriction aur fight back. First they were leaking uncountable runs and then during chased they were following same thing's they done against India in Asia cup. I think still they didn't get out horrible shadow of thier previous defeat and spectacular bowling of especially siraj and then bumrah but today one more magician Shami add decent contribution too.
Anyway sirilankan team chance are almost over and they are almost knockout of world cup but the way they perform quality cricket at early of thier matches at the end such bad performance were not expecting from them.

NRR is not a concern for India as they have won all matches so far and based on points they are at number one position. India NRR is still beyond SA despite having a massive win today.
Its second time in a month or two that SL have such a humiliating defeat against India, first one was in Asia Cup final. SL have made a history today by scoring the lowest inning total by a test playing side.

NNR may not be an issue for India to qualify for the Semi finals (as they are already qualified) but they do need a better run rate to remain at the top position, in case they lose to South Africa in their upcoming match.


Tomorrow we have a match between Afghanistan vs Netherlands, both teams have the same points, and both teams are in the race of Semi-final. If Afghanistan wins tomorrow’s match against the Netherlands with a good run rate so they can qualify for the top four, but for this Afghanistan needs to win tomorrow’s match with a good run rate, and if Afghanistan take place in the top four so this is a big thing for Afghanistan because before they never saw themselves in the top four on the point table. But the Netherlands also played very well in their previous matches but I think that the Netherlands will not be able to win tomorrow’s match due to its small team.

With this performance I don't think anyone thinking about their NRR because they are enjoying this game and having seven wins out of seven matches with most chances now top spots are fixed for the India and South Africa with Australia is having chances for the third, and we will have good competition for the remaining fourth spot as right now New Zealand, Afghanistan and Pakistan on same level after three matches lost suddenly New Zealand is having bad time because they were impressive in early matches but now suddenly down which can create problems for them at the end.

Now we will have three important games first on Saturday Australia vs England and New Zealand vs Pakistan then India vs South Africa on Sunday will be meet at Eden Garden Kolkata as we are heading for the last rounds now some good matches are creating entertainment for the cricket fans after bore and one-sided matches.

The Match which is played by Sri Lanka today was very bad in all ICC world Cup matches. In first batting India obtained 357 runs and team of Sri Lanka become all out on 55 runs. five players of Sri Lanka out on zero runs which is also a bad activity. The match of Sri Lanka was so strange and we did not hope for such a bad match today. Muhammad Shami from the team of India took five wickets and Shubman Gill, Kohli and Shreyas lyer performed well batting good. By visualizing the performance of India there is a chance that India will win the World Cup of ICC.

[wiss19]

What the hell is going on with SriLanka team. They lost 4 wickets. By the way excellent bowling by Muhammed Siraj. He got 3 wickets. I don't think so the SriLanka will go above 50 runs. India confirmed its spot for Semifinal and the performance of India is showing that India will win the world cup. I know its too early to predict but the performance of India is showing everything.

No one were expecting batting performance like this from Sri Lankan as they were doing decent job in early matches, but today we have worst ever performance from them in world cup with just 3 batsmen were able to reach into double figure and all gone cheaply in just 20 overs after Asian Cup final things are going terrible for them against India even they were already out of the top six race now most chances they can go down from seventh spot as well which could be another below for them.

India is surely at the top with home advantage and their bowlers are giving their best in these conditions which are favorable for them in presence of few top quality attacks they are having impressive job, hopefully they will be able to keep this momentum until last match of this event.

The Indian bowlers completely destroyed the Sri Lankan top order. No Sri Lankan batsman can stay at the crease for long. Kasun Rajitha scored the highest for Sri Lanka. Rajitha scored 14 runs. 5 batsmen of the squad returned to the dressing room without scoring any runs. And two batsmen collected 1 run. Indian bowlers gave 10 runs extra. Sri Lanka's innings would have stopped before 50 runs if they didn't get these 10 extra runs. Mohammad dismissed three of the first four batsmen in the series and Mohammad Shami took the next four wickets. Due to the great performance of these two bowlers, the Indian team won by a huge margin of 302 runs.

[3kpk3]

And next match for both the teams is going to be at Eden Gardens, where they will face each other. If anyone is going to beat India in this world cup, it is going to be South Africa. This match is going to be epic.

Yeah. Am really excited for Netherlands vs Afghanistan and this one since it's basically battle of the underdogs and battle of the favorites. Am expecting Afghanistan to win their encounter against Netherlands.

On the other hand, I feel that India will continue their win streak by defeating South Africa primarily thanks to their amazing bowling unit.
