Sri Lanka have put up a great bowling performance in the first ODI against England, especially the Sri Lankan bowling line, Sachindu Colombage and Asitha Fernando have both taken 3 wickets each. England have been bowled out for 265 runs today, although they could not score as much as they wanted. However, at the moment, Sri Lanka are in batting form and if they can bat well and play patiently, they will have a chance of winning. At the moment, Sri Lanka's batsmen have lost their 2 wickets in the opening overs, and now they will be batting under some pressure. If they can survive till the end, it will not be very difficult to collect the target of 265 runs, but the team will have to play with wickets. However, if England's bowling line can do well at the moment, the game will be more exciting and this match will come in England's favor if the bowling is good.

Zimbabwe gave Australia a very tough fight in the third ODI and came close to win the match. Zimbabwe were able to score 271 runs only where Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza together made vital contribution. Australia's beginning wasn't good enough as they kept losing wickets consistently but Josh Inglis played a brilliant innings and help his team alone to move forward. Even the became exciting towards the end when Aus needed runs with one wicket left. Afterwards they took single run and won the match with just one ball remaining. Although Zimbabwe fought hard and deserve the win but Australia achieved the victory with their own ability

That match Could be in the control of Zimbabwe cricket team as Australia team was under pressure and they were losing their wickets back to back but they gave space to build partnership and that was a  big reason they lose this match and this series. Innocent Kaia was a person who made 50 for his team and hit 7 fours in this match and that was waste because of their mistakes in this match because they did many mistakes in this match.Ervine performance was good and tried to give strength to his team but that teams lacking in many things which is reason they are losing and not winning against good team. Josh Inglis was match changer because he was stick to the Wicket and made century in this match.

Sri Lanka needed to play well after getting a whitewash in the T20 series, but still the target of 265 will remain strong for them. Although their bowling was enough strong and tough, which took the wickets of all the batsmen. If the Sri Lankan bowlers had not worked so hard and diligently, they could have been given an even bigger target and they could have lost again on the same. But even now, the Sri Lankan batsmen are doing the same because they should have worked hard to achieve this target, while their batsmen lost 2 wickets in 13 overs, thanks to which only 52 runs could have been scored. If they play like this, they can succeed even to the end, but they should take special care of their wickets so that their carelessness does not defeat them from this success. In the result of this match, it is important to see the entire batting of Sri Lanka, due to which Sri Lanka will have to play hard and succeed in this match.

They were seeing the whole match and were facing a whitewash how could they not feel the pressure? ~

The match was pretty much in favour of Zimbabwe when they dropped the last catch. Australia had only 1 wicket left, Zimbabwe would have won the match if they didn't drop that catch despite getting enough time to take it.

As expected, Sri Lanka has started the ODI series with a big defeat. I think it will be profitable to place bet on England in the next two matches, and I will use this opportunity .

SL bowlers did a better job by keeping the opposition to 264 runs so the chase of 265 is still possible. With all 10 wickets down, the batting side wasn't able to add runs towards 300 and make the chase more difficult. SL had a slow start to their innings, and limited themselves to just 52 runs for 2 wickets in 13 overs. They will have to struggle and make more boundaries in the next set of 40 overs, as the rate of scoring is very slow. If the middle order can get into a productive partnership, they can put the required run rate in control.

SL still have lots of the innings to play, but the SL  duo can not afford another rapture. The next overs will be crucial as a strong partnership can make all the difference and possibly turn the tide of the game in their favour.

The first ODI between England and Sri Lanka is underway at Chester-le-Street. England team is batting first and their score after 21 overs is 129 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. The projected score for England at the moment is 343 runs, which means Sri Lankan bowlers have to really work hard to stop England from getting to that total. Root along with Brook is on the crease and they are playing aggressively, Sri Lanka need to get rid of both of them as quickly as possible otherwise England can give a target that will be beyond Sri Lanka batting range. 

Well English side didn't make such huge target after debutant Colombage triggered a proper collapse in middle overs and departure Root , Buttler and thus broke the main partnership which results in they brought back England down to 211/7, later some crucial innings from jacks got them some important runs.
While Sirilankan were more excepted to filled the required easily, but unfortunately they unable to deliver different but to follow his previous results, Apart from Wellalage vital 45 runs innings rest of their lineup couldn't able to build partnerships after kind a collapse at lower middle order, while hats off toh jack for his allrounder performance whom back English back on track for victory.

Weak teams sometimes get so nervous that they miss many easy catches and that is what happened to Zimbabwe. It looked like a very easy class and it was easy but unfortunately Zimbabwe could have won with that catch but due to a little timing mistake they lost the match.

Of course after Sri Lanka got whitewashed in T20I match now their ODI match is on the way to be whitewashed especially in the first match of three ODI matches Sri Lanka lost by a big margin of 89 runs and there are two more matches left where Sri Lanka will lose 100%. So it would be wise to bet on England and it would be 100% possible to win the bet.

Yes i also think england can easily win this series because they have show their potential in the first match. In the first match harry brook play a very good innings as a captain and also will jack what a game he is playing like first in batting he made 43 runs notout and then in bowling in 7 overs he give 22 runs and took 5 wickets. All credit goes to england bowlers as they played very well so i can also bet easily on England.

The way England won the T20 series, Sri Lanka could not compete properly with England. Sri Lanka was all out in most of the matches and before the over was over. In the first ODI match, Sri Lanka was all out in 37 overs, that is, Sri Lanka could not compete with England in any way. So it can be said with certainty that Sri Lanka will not be able to win any match in this series, given the way they are losing by a huge margin in every match. The performance of Sri Lanka's batsmen in this series has been disappointing and the bowlers' performance has been as good as it could be, but the batsmen's performance has forced them to lose by large margins in every match.

Sri Lankan batsmen really failed to bat in the first ODI match. Sri Lanka needed 266 runs to win, so they had to bat well to fight but they failed there, especially the middle order batsmen. Sri Lankan opening batsmen Kamindu Mendis and Pathum Nissanka could not give a very good start for Sri Lanka. They got out very quickly. ‌ Sri Lanka has not been able to show good performance for several series.
Like you, I also think England will win this series very easily.

If we look at England team performance then this total was not tough, Sri Lanka team could be manage easily if the planned and played with proper mindset, they bowled well but in batting side they could not deliver well performance as they delivered in bowling side so England team tackle this manageable total with a great performance and strategy. The England team could give more runs total but in middle order the players could not utilise overs properly and lost wickets back to back so this is the main reason of lack total. On the other hand the Sri Lanka team played disappointed in the batting side. They could not deliver well at the start of the inning and the middle order players could not support the team. So due to weak batting the loss a match very badly.

It was evident from the start that the pitch was really slow and not easy to bat on. That's the exact reason the England batsmen struggled to bat freely—strokeplay just wasn't easy out there. It was a similar story for the Sri Lanka batsmen, who struggled just as much for the exact same reason.
Tomorrow, the Australian tour of South Africa kicks off, and there are some serious injury concerns for South Africa. Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi are completely ruled out due to injury, while for Australia, Pat Cummins is being rested for the first match.

Yes, because England usually does not give such a target, due to which Sri Lanka had a chance and Sri Lanka also did some hard work, due to which the entire team was out in 48 overs, but their batsmen played very poorly, which wasted their bowling efforts. They should have proved themselves strong and with change in this ODI series so that England could lose this series. Sri Lanka bowling is good, if they also work hard on the batting, then their team can be good. England will now defeat Sri Lanka again in the second match because if Sri Lanka does not control England, then it will be a bad result for them in this too. If Sri Lanka batting had been good, then this disappointment would have turned into interest and joy, but they did not think anything like that.

At the moment, the South African team is performing well in batting, if they lost one wicket in the beginning, the next players must have maintained their performance. They have scored 93 runs and lost three wickets in 20 overs, but if the South African team can score good runs by batting, then they will be able to give a target of 220 plus runs in the end.
The Australian team has performed well in bowling at the moment, but their fielding is missing, they may face danger in this match due to the fielding missing. So if the Australian team has to win, then they must have a good performance and win.

At now south africa is 173 for 5 wickets in 36 overs i think they are going good as M breetzke is on 79 and also jansen is present on crease with them. They should try to move the score to 280 so than their target will be strong. From Australian side ellis and zampa have took 2 wickets each. I cannot predict anyone because both teams are strong and the result is unpredictable.

I haven't followed African cricket for a long time. I don't know who this Matthew Breetzke is, but he seems to have played pretty well today. It is impressive that they were able to score 290+ from the stage where they were at 168 for 5. I am more impressed because the opponent was mighty Australia. Playing against the Australian bowling lineup and scoring this much is not an easy job. But the South African team did pretty well actually.

As for Australia, Travis Head Mitchell Marsh, both looks distructive at this moment. They are playing as if it is a T20 world cup match. They played only nine overs so far and the score is 80+ already.

Matthew Breetzke is in the team to replace Dewald Brevis and he has performed well whenever he got the opportunity as he scored his second ODI century today and they are building a good bench strength.

As for Australia, Travis Head Mitchell Marsh, both looks distructive at this moment. They are playing as if it is a T20 world cup match. They played only nine overs so far and the score is 80+ already.

Australia is currently batting as if they are targeting well over 350 runs. They just lost their second wicket, and if they play sensible cricket without losing many wickets, then they will easily chase this score with the way they are batting.

Sri Lankan batsmen really failed to bat in the first ODI match. Sri Lanka needed 266 runs to win, so they had to bat well to fight but they failed there, especially the middle order batsmen. Sri Lankan opening batsmen Kamindu Mendis and Pathum Nissanka could not give a very good start for Sri Lanka. They got out very quickly. ‌ Sri Lanka has not been able to show good performance for several series.
Like you, I also think England will win this series very easily.

England team has already won the match today and they have shown themselves to be strong and have played this match with full dedication. They had set a very good target according to their overs.The highest score was made by Harry Brook which is 67.The rest of the players have also batted with their dedication which gave hope to their team and they have competed with their opponent team together. He has also hit the most fours which has increased their score.Their target could have been stronger if their team had not been out early.There were two overs left. If they had played their target could have easily reached 300 but this was also enough. However the Sri Lankan team could not achieve this either.Their team had collapsed very soon.They have shown great carelessness due to which the England team has been able to win.

This match ended two days ago and the second ODI match between England and Sri Lanka is currently being played. In this match, Sri Lankan batsmen showed a very good batting performance. They scored 321 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. Kusal Mendis finished with a brilliant century in this match. He scored 121 runs in 100 balls and Kamindu Mendis scored the second highest score of 54 runs for the team. England has already started batting with a target of 322 runs and they have scored 6 runs at the end of the first over. It will be very easy for them to win this match because Sri Lanka has enough bowlers to give a good bowling performance.

[Out of mind]

The first ODI match between South Africa and Australia was played today and in this match, South Africa scored 297 runs in the first innings. South Africa's batsman Matthew Breetzke batted brilliantly and scored 112 runs, while Marco Jansen scored 75 runs to increase the team's score. However, when the Australian team came out to bat, their batsmen did not perform very well, they only did well in the opening in their patient batting. And the other batsmen did not bat very well, they got out very quickly, especially today, the bowling performance of the South African team was very good. Keshav Maharaj's bowling performance was very terrible, no Australian batsman could play his ball for a long time. Keshav Maharaj took 4 wickets, as a result, the Australian team had to be all out for 230 runs and the team lost the first ODI match by a huge margin of 67 runs.  However, the South African team gained confidence by winning the first match and they moved ahead in the series.
