ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Sithara007]

I am not watching this match live, just only tracking the score and it's obvious that SL don't have potential to beat a team like India and again today they are doing the same the only difference is Wellalage who is contributing from the middle order apart from that the story remained same. So far India is just trying every possible bowler who got the capability to bowl.

It is boring actually. I don't understand the point in having a full-strength Indian side playing against a weak team like Sri Lanka. If not for lower order batsmen such as Dunith Wellalage and Wanindu Hasaranga, Sri Lanka would have struggled to get to a total above 200. Now it looks like they may get to 220-230, but that will be short by at least 80 runs. The organizers could have made the series less boring by adding another team like South Africa or New Zealand. But they wanted a direct bilateral series.

India vs Sri Lanka
The first match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka vs India will be played today. India's squad has seen some changes, the ODI series squad is much stronger than the T20 series squad. Anyway, India is a much stronger team than Sri Lanka. If I have to predict this match today then I will put India team ahead. I think India will win today and ODI series India will win. But Sri Lanka will be playing at their home ground, let's see how well Sri Lanka can perform. Sri Lankan players have to perform well otherwise ODI series will be whitewashed like T20 series.

I did not understand why Shivam Dube is in the team as we can see from his performance in the World Cup. In the full tournament we have seen poor performance, especially in the first two matches of the Indian team, when he was out on zero against Ireland and Pakistan and also dropping the catches as well.

Also, he doesn’t have any references so why is he playing in the team without doing any good performance

Yes, he played his first match for India in 2019 at the age of 27, but I think India have a better option than Shivam Dube, from the IPL as there is Sanju Samson (not playing well in this series otherwise amazing player.)

In the first ODI match against India, Sri Lanka scored 230 runs in the first innings and lost 8 wickets. In today's match, Pathum Nissanka did a great job opening batting, he scored 56 runs off 75 balls. Also Dunith Wellalage was in great batting form for Sri Lanka he scored 67 runs off 65 balls and remained unbeaten his batting performance was good today. However, I think a target of 230 runs is not too much in ODIs and as India is a strong team in today's match, they will surely bat well enough to go against Sri Lanka. And to meet this target, the Indian team must bat very responsibly and they will perform at their best against Sri Lanka to win the first ODI match.

After a 100% success in the T20 series under the leadership of Suriya Kumar Yadav, the team has been announced for the ODI format with Rohit Sharma as the captain.

The ODI format will feature most of the regular players who played in the last World Cup. Rohit Sharma This will be Virat Kohli's first series against Sri Lanka after completing the T20 World Cup. Although there is a possibility of Sri Lanka winning the third T20 match, they were defeated there, so it can be said that Sri Lanka does not have much hope for the ODI format. Team India can easily win against Sri Lanka with the team India announced. In the three-match series, if the match is not abandoned due to rain or the innings is not finished in a short range, then India will have a better chance of winning all the matches.

As we know, the Indian team has won all the T20 matches series and now I think they could win the ODI series too as they are performing right now. But I think now we have seen the too much insult of the Sri Lankan team as they won their last match back in 21st Jully 2021 against India. This was also in one day international not in the T20 or any format. Once more time the Sri Lankan team are going to play against any ODI match against India so this time once again we are hopeful with Sri Lanka because in the T20I, they played good and close finishes we have seen right at the end of that series.

Batting first against India in the first match of the three-match ODI series, Sri Lanka managed to accumulate 230 runs for eight wickets in the allotted fifty overs on the scoreboard. Sri Lanka is the host team in this series but I would say 231 is not a difficult equation for India. To catch up, India has entered the field with their strong eleven, if India does not perform too badly, then Rohit Sharma's team can easily reach their target. 

In the case of the Sri Lankan batsmen in the first innings, I did not notice that they were not batting very well or that the wicket was behaving badly, rather that they did not do well against the Indian bowling line-up. Team India has a strong opening position, strong middle order and good finishers so they might not be planning too hard to win this match.

In the first ODI match against India, Sri Lanka scored 230 runs in the first innings and lost 8 wickets. In today's match, Pathum Nissanka did a great job opening batting, he scored 56 runs off 75 balls. Also Dunith Wellalage was in great batting form for Sri Lanka he scored 67 runs off 65 balls and remained unbeaten his batting performance was good today. However, I think a target of 230 runs is not too much in ODIs and as India is a strong team in today's match, they will surely bat well enough to go against Sri Lanka. And to meet this target, the Indian team must bat very responsibly and they will perform at their best against Sri Lanka to win the first ODI match.

Sri Lanka batted first in the first innings of the first ODI match between India and Sri Lanka. The batsmen of the Sri Lankan team could not perform as expected even after batting first. Avishka Fernando returned to the pavilion after being caught out by Arsdeep Singh off Mohammed Siraj's ball in the beginning. However, another Sri Lankan batsman, Pathum Nishanka, completed his half-century with a brilliant performance. If we look at the performance of the Sri Lankan batsmen in today's match, we will see that their middle order batsmen have completely failed due to which their team has not scored many runs.

As India has fielded a full strength team against Sri Lanka in the ODI match, India may win against Sri Lanka today. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and some other players have been added to the Indian team. Maybe these few are enough for the Indian team to win against Sri Lanka.

[Sithara007]

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have started in explosive style, by scoring 48/0 in 5 overs. Lankan bowlers are struggling, including the debutant Mohamed Shiraz. With a small target of just 231 runs, Sri Lanka can't win this match by being economical. They need quick wickets, and for that they need to introduce Dunith Wellalage and Wanindu Hasaranga as quickly as possible. But as long as Rohit stays at the crease any probability of a Lankan win will be very near zero. For now, it looks like India is heading for a very heavy win.

SriLanka vs India First ODI

So today is 1st August and today SriLanka and India will play their first ODI match in Colombo.
As we know that how SriLanka performed in the T20I series. They lost all three matches. The last one was very exciting and SriLanka gave a tough time to India but they lost in super over. So in the ODI series I am expecting again a poor performance by SriLanka because they are looking more weaker as compare to India team. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli made the Indian team more strong so I am expecting again a clean sweep.

Yeah, In the first ODi game Srilanka played first and made 230/8 runs in 50 overs. Srilanka team's average batting batsman Dunith Wellalage scored 67 runs with seven fours and two 6s while Pathum Nissanka made 56 runs played 75 deliveries and help their team to posted an average target of 331. A. Singh bowled an excellent took two wickets and A. Patel also took two wickets with economy rate of 3. India team batting nicely scored 69 runs in first 10th over of the game. The India team chasing the target not loss ant wicket. india needed 160 runs from the remaining 40 overs. I think it's very difficult for Srilanka to get back and win this game.

[hafiztalha]

It is the match of Group B Kurunegala. It is the between KYCC and PSC. PSC won the toss and first decided bowling. KYCC batsman makes 256 run in 50 over and 6 outs. This is the target for PSC batsman. This is the target for PSC batsman. The PSC bowler worked hard and struggled and stopped the runs. But their batsmen could not work hard and struggle enough to achieve the target and win the match. Their batsmen did not work hard and struggle in the match and wasted the hard work and struggle of their bowlers and will lose the match.The pace of the PSC batsmen was very slow and their batsmen were all out in 37 overs.  Their batsmen should work hard and struggle and try to win the match.  If they keep doing this, they will not win the match. KYCC Congratulations on the win and keep playing like this and keep winning matches.

In one day cup series, yesterday some game was played in this series and one of these game, I am talking about this game YORLS team and SUSS team. YORKS team set a very competitive target to SUSS team and very difficult to chase it and total their team made 261 runs with losing all wickets. S Masood great captain led this game to win by scoring 63 runs. Wharton, Duke and  Bess these batsman also played very well and made good runs for team to help win this game. SUSS team only chased down 212 runs target and lose the game by 49 runs. Opener batsman Clark batted brilliantly and also made half century 55 runs and fully helped their team to win game but after dismissal his wicket next batsman played poorly most of batsman was dismissed below 10 runs. Congratulations YORKS team to win this game and I wished to play also good in next games.

Since Gautum Gambhir is the new Head Coach of the Indian Cricket team, he is giving too much statements out as well and I think it is his first series as Head Coach that is why he is active but with the time we will see decline in this further statements. However, so far another statement has been out by him and he said that "We have Surya Kumar Yadav is the best option to bowl in the death overs."
It is such a big thing as we can say Surya Kumar original role is batsmen but Gambhir wants to make him all rounder as we have seen his wonderful bowling in the last over of the last third T20 match.

Please link source where you heard that statement.

I do not know how to link it (as it is not a video), but I read it in the community posts of one of the youtuber "Pahul Walia".
Here is the screenshot of that statement. By the way, since that channel has a lot of subscribers and this post alone got 70K likes, so i believed it was a true statement (In case you are thinking it as a piece of fake news).

It's supposed to be meant in sarcastic way not really serious. Surya Kumar Yadav and Rinku bowled because the ball was turning too much so captain decided to go out of the box and luckily won the match too but will be do that against SA, ENG or Mighty Aussies definitely NO.

This match is getting interesting, since Indian middle order struggling too and now they should worry about Gill as opener for ODI now the unfortunate thing is they don't even have backup opener in the 15 men squad.

[Popkon6]

Rohit Sharma started well as the opening batsman, but could not support him as his partnership. Rohit Sharma proved to be a reliable player in this match, despite the presence of more experienced batsmen, they failed to produce sustained batting performances. Thus, if the players of the Indian team continue to get out, there is a possibility of losing today. 

If these two batsmen, Rahul and Axar, can perform well, India will definitely win, otherwise India teams are likely to lose under the pressure of huge wickets. Now the victory of the team depends on these two batsmen, the bowling performance of the Sri Lankan team is very good so if they can be bowled properly by the captain then they will have a chance to win this match.

Now the victory of the team depends on these two batsmen, the bowling performance of the Sri Lankan team is very good so if they can be bowled properly by the captain then they will have a chance to win this match.

India currently need just 47 runs from 70 balls to win even with five wickets in hand. Today's match may be a last minute win for India as KL Rahul and Axar Patel are still batting at the crease for them. Basically, these two batsmen have a lot of responsibility. With the passage of time they are gradually settling down and pulling their team to victory. Already these two batsmen have put together a solid partnership of 53 runs off 89 balls.

[virasog]

The Indian team almost won this match as they made 150 runs and also too many overs remaining. Yes, but there is one thing to be worried about that we are seeing that the Indiana team is losing the wickets fast but still i am sure the Indian team will win this match.

The two good players Axar Patel and KL Rahul are playing but still Sri Lanka could win this match at the same time because KL Rahul and Axar Patel are not playing with that strength and it seems they are not fully confident to play this. Let’s see what will happen here, the Sri Lankan team is searching for the wickets as the only way to win this match for them is to get wickets.

The odds still favors the India extensively.

Also Dunith Wellalage was in great batting form for Sri Lanka he scored 67 runs off 65 balls and remained unbeaten his batting performance was good today.

And to meet this target, the Indian team must bat very responsibly and they will perform at their best against Sri Lanka to win the first ODI match.

I will get to predict a lot in this ODI.  And the first match is between India and Sri Lanka from which everyone can guess that India has more chances to win.  There is no doubt that Sri Lanka can also win but the way their perform and goals have been seen, one cannot hope.  Their batsmen set a target of 230 in 50 overs which is said to be easy for the India batsmen.  And now India are batting.  And their perform has been very good.  Their batsmen have lost 5 wickets in 38 overs.  If they pick up the pace they can beat Sri Lanka in 5 overs.  Even if they play comfortably they still win.  Because India need 51 runs from 76 balls to win the match and this is the reason for India fast pace.  And they have found the target easy too.  If I see the result who will win the match and who will not.

[JahriMeayer]

Sri Lanka vs India, 1st ODI is already started. Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat. They scored around 230-8 runs which is kind of okey to win the match against oppennt in ODI format, if they can bowl well and stopped top batsman for collecting more runs. Well i say that, their top ordered batsmen performance should be developed, almost everyone Scored low runs and lost their wickets earlier except Pathum Nissanka(56) who did half century. Besides i must admire Dunith Wellalage(67) who showed skillful performance by making half century and due to him, Sri Lanka able to make good score. Otherwise they might not able to cross more than 200 runs. Well meanwhile india is already on batting and their current score is 209-7 runs in 44 overs. Rohit Sharma(58) did half century and rest of top batsmen performance as same as Sri Lanka, i mean out with low runs. KL Rahul(31) and Axar Patel(33) make some decent runs. Now Situation is complex. India don't have good batsman cause their bowler may lost their wickets before reach the targeted runs but still they have possibility to win if they can anyhow manage avarage 3 runs something per over

230 target was having no problems for Indian team even we have some drams in second half of the game when India lost few quick wickets but then again we have Rahul and Axar Patel they bring back their team back into game with their good patient innings now after 40 overs we are having 196 for 6 with Axar Patel and Dube at crease, and it's all looking easy win for the India because they can do things easily for having win into this game.

Sri Lankan batting and bowling are having below then average performance which is surely going to have problems for them against quality teams with they need to be have improved quality and consistency as they were having few years back now things are looking not good for them to have things in good.

Edit: Asalanka having 7th wicket for the Sri Lanka as they lost Axar Patel we are going to have another twist into game now Kuldeep is joining Dube with 34 runs required in 52 balls and India having 3 wickets.

When everyone was so sure about the Indian win, an upset happens here and the match is tied. How is that possible 

No super over is here but such a great effort by the Sri Lankan team as they defended this type of score. The last over was such a thriller for the Sri Lanka and such a big over for them too because on the last two balls, they picked two wickets and the Indian team was all out while the Indian team was just the needy of one run (three overs were also remaining at that point.) The Sri Lanka team are on the winning stage, they could win even a single match in this series if they want. There are some matches still left in ODI series.

[libert19]

Match tied but it felt kinda like India lost and SL won. Dube played good under pressure. Rohit played good knock, he departed and team stumbled. There was no need for Arshdeep to go for that shot but I guess he wanted to end inning on high note.

Now this first match of ODI competition among India squad Sri Lanka sqaud was fully completed and this match was finished without any interruption of rain or any other problem. What great match was finished and both squads displayed very amazing performance and showcased full spirit to secure victory. Sri Lanka squad has begun this first match first with batting Inning by winning toss task. Defeating target of Sri Lanka sqaud in this match was not too much high and also not very hard job to achieve all scores of total 230. Pathum Nissanka start of match batted very fantastic to managed great fifty to support sqaud and other batter also displayed unbelievable performance by collecting 67 scores with not out and his name is Dunith Wellalage. But Indian sqaud did not secure victory but tied this match by managing same scores. Rohit Sharma managed this ODi series as captain and his captaincy did not prove very good as like in previous competition of T20. Charith Asalanka bowlers of Sri Lanka sqaud bowled amazing with picking 3 wickets and other Wanindu Hasaranga also cleared out total 3 wickets and tied this fight.

You are right, everyone thought about this match that India team will easily win the match against Sri Lanka. But the Sri Lankan team players proved everyone wrong with their performance. In this first match of the ODI series, I also thought that the Indian cricket team was the favorite team. In this match, the players of the Indian cricket team played an unexpected game. I never imagined that the players of the Indian team would do so badly against Sri Lanka. However, I am hopeful that the Indian cricket team will surely do something great against Sri Lanka in the upcoming matches of this series.
