Good game by Sri Lanka team. After this game, series is now tie and only one game remains. That game will decide which team is stronger and wins series. In 2 nd game, WI team won toss and they selected bowling first and gave batting chance to SL team. SL team batsman effort in this game was mind blowing and they gave 360 big runs target in 50 overs by losing all wickets. Sineth opened lineup very brilliantly and he made century 118 runs in 63 balls and hitted thirteen 4s and eight 6s. Vishen also batted great with Sineth batsmen and made half century 50 runs in 45 balls and hitted three 4s and four 6s. WI team failed this time to beat SL team and lost this 2 nd game by 125 big margin. Akmal bowler helped team in bowling to win this game and took down 3 wickets in 7.4 overs and gave 37 runs. Congratulations SL team won this game and best wishes to next last game.

Thus, series has been tied at 1-1 and it will be all up for grabs today at Nondescripts Cricket Club Ground in 3rd ODI. 360 by SL-EP in 2nd game was huge and WI Academy were unable to come near with 125 runs shortage. Final game should be of interest. First game was won easily by WI Academy but SL-EP batting lineup certainly has the chance to return big scores at home. First team who chooses to bowl may have an advantage because of nature of these pitches. It will be very close game.

The second one-day international game of these teams is being played in Colombo and it is an unofficial one, so at the end there is no team wins and power, so it is not a very impressive game. While Colombo is quite old and plays big teams and the performing of the first game in this tour was only a little. The reason for this is the deteriorating weather there, which never comes to mind. SL-EP players played useless and played the overs of the one-day international, so they could only collect 174 runs and that consists of 3 of their players. Sineth Jayawardena performing super with 118 runs and collected the most runs, Vishen Halambage also added 50 runs and from here their aim remained the same, that is, for so many runs they have done a lot of useless.

SL EP played first, they posted mammoth target of 360 runs. Top orders played great role in building the high target. Especially Jayawardena contributed with 118 runs that's much impressive. In the middle phase of the game West Indies academy used to put hard ball. And gave them loss of wickets. But the timings was not good because SL already on the good positions. Last part of the match SL tail were failed to add handsome on the scoreboard. However even then they set up huge numbers for the rivals.
While West Indies Academy began with shakily. They lost two important players on early 4 overs. Batting line was not up to the mark. Batsman wasted many balls or added few runs. SL bowlers smashed all team on 45 overs or secure the victory because of their impressive balling and fielding planning. It was an unofficial match that ended in the favour of SL-EP.

I will agree with you on this point because Bangladesh team has really performed very well in the Australian team in the elite ODI format and I think this will give them extra confidence to perform well in Zimbabwe as well.

However, my only concern here is that the Bangladesh team will not play on their home ground, and every time we have seen Bangladesh team playing abroad, we have been disappointed. And at the present time, this fear cannot be completely ruled out. But I hope that now that Liton Das has returned from his injury, if he can give his best on the field, and if others help him a little, then it is possible to win against the Zimbabwe team because in this regard, Bangladesh's bowlers are currently in good form.

This second unofficial match between the Sri Lanka Emerging Players and West Indies Academy teams was quite interesting. In this match, the first team had a very good performance in the top order and middle order, due to which they set a very good target of 360 runs in 50 overs, in which the most supporting player was Sineth Jayawardena. He scored 118 runs and the rest also scored quite well, on which the bowlers of the other team could not create pressure with their bowling, but their batsmen were also under a lot of pressure, due to which all their players were out in about 45 or so balls and they faced failure. However, the score they scored was 235 runs and the Sri Lanka Emerging Players team won this match by 125 runs. The middle order of the West Indies team was quite good, but their performance in the top order and last was not special, due to which this target could not be completed.

So far, both the teams (Sri Lanka Emerging Players and West Indies Academy) have won one match each. Academy won the first match by 2 wickets, while SLEP won the second by a massive margin of 125 runs. Jediah Blades, along with Zishan Motara and Raneico Smith gave West Indies the win during their first match. But in the second match, Academy bowlers were wayward. Blades still picked up 3 wickets, but others like Raneico Smith and Giovonte Depeiza were quite expensive. With the series tied at 1-1, today's match will decide who will win the series.

The series decider third ODI match already started between Sri Lanka Emerging Players and West Indies Academy. And meanwhile West Indies Academy finished their batting and hit 349/4 milestone in 50 overs. Shaqkere Parris made 177 tuns which is half of the total runs collected by his team and Kevlon Anderson 88 added more value in the final result. Overall it is undoubtedly a big improvement for WI academy if we compared this with their previous two matches performance. Now it's SL-EP team batting turn and they have ability to face such challenging target cause they already showed brilliant performance in previous match where they made 350runs. Although i doubt if they make any mistakes or can't control the pressure then maybe they could lose the Match.

West Indies Academy set a very tough target while playing the first innings due to which Sri Lanka Emergency remained under pressure throughout the innings. Every batsman of West Indies Academy worked hard and gave the team an important winning.The aggressive batting line of Shaqquere and Kevlon Anderson gave the team hope that they could win and the increasing scoreboard of West Indies Academy was not suppressed by the bowlers of Sri Lanka Emergency and they could only take 4 wickets against West Indies Academy due to which the target became very tough.The first series was won by Sri Lanka Emergency and the second unofficial ODI series was won by West Indies Academy.

In the games played between them, Academy won 2 games and they won both of them and defeated SL Emergency. Although SL Emergency also played better and fought hard and defeated them, they were not that better and strong, that is why they lost by so many runs in the last game. Congratulations to Academy on winning this series, they played much better and with experience, they will have to play with similar performance so that they can winning like this in the future. Emergency players were struggle in this last game but they were under pressure, that is why they lost like this and it was their fate that they could not do much. This target was quite difficult and big for them because the benefit of the 50 over innings was not taken from them and that is why they lost and Academy team won.

How well West Indies Academy handled high pressure situation of actual final in series decider can be judged from this complete all round showing. Choosing to bat first was a huge advantage, with superb batting outing leaving side completely on the back foot from the start. Once the pressure on the Sri Lankan bowlers started to take its toll on scoreboard, defending huge total target of 300 plus was easy, in my opinion. The hosts had displayed amazing batting skill in previous match but steady effort of bowlers with important wickets falling from middle order put together perfect lesson. It was wonderful developmental trophy win for visitors and to finish them with heavy 76 runs loss is not bad idea.

Bangladesh moved a step closer to criminalising match-fixing and spot-fixing after the Gambling Prevention Bill, 2026, was tabled in Parliament, with the proposed legislation prescribing up to seven years' imprisonment and a fine of Tk 1 crore for offenders.

Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed tabled the bill in Parliament on June 24 as part of efforts to introduce stricter measures against online gambling, betting, match-fixing and spot-fixing.

The proposed legislation seeks to replace the 1867 Public Gambling Act, with all offences under the new law classified as cognisable, non-bailable and non-compoundable. It categorises gambling and fixing-related offences into 24 categories and prescribes 14 different types of punishment depending on the nature of the offence.

Therefore, this match became enough interesting and strong and it ended with a bigger target than the strength and good effort of both of them. In this series, the West Indies batsmen played with a lot of hard work and effort, that is why their target was so big. Their batsmen tried and scored runs together, so the hard work of their batsmen was not wasted and their bowlers also worked hard, so their target became even stronger and from here the Sri Lankan batsmen could not achieve much hard work and target. The Sri Lankan batsmen were also going to the target, but their batsmen achieved a big target with their own negligence. If their bowlers had tried, they could have victory with an easy target and this could have victory their series, but the West Indies played with more strength. The most successful team in this series was the West Indies and it was because of their hard work and effort.

This match between Sri Lanka Emergency and West Indies Academy was very interesting and thrilling because the winning of this match could have awarded the team the honor of winning the series and this honor was achieved by West Indies Academy with its excellent performance. This is because the scoreboard of West Indies Academy was very strong due to which Sri Lanka Emergency was under full pressure and they failed to cross the target.Before the third match both the teams had won one match each.The batting of both Shaqquere Paris and Kevlon Anderson from West Indies Academy was aggressive and both of them proved to be very useful for West Indies Academy.It was a pity that the bowlers of Sri Lanka Emergency did not show any special skill and dismissed only 4 batsmen due to which West Indies Academy deserved the winning.
