ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[JSRAW]

Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli are heading towards centuries. The Sri Lankan team is paying the price for missed catches very well. India managed to collect 185 runs in 29 overs. India now collect more than 6 runs per over. Shubman Gill scored 86 off 88 balls and Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 86 off 86 balls. These two batsmen collected 46 runs in the last 5 overs. And if India continues to bat like this then they will give a target between 360-380 in today's match. Sri Lankan bowlers are not able to do anything. They seem very innocent to me. Despite a brilliant start, Sri Lanka are in such a shambles now due to poor fielding.

Getting bored with this match now. It is completely one sided. Most surprising thing is that despite being a weekday, 27 million people are viewing this match right now in Disney-Hotstar. The peak viewership for the India vs Pakistan clash (on a weekend) was equal to this figure. So many people decided to skip their office/college, to watch this match? Or are they watching it while being in office/college? Anyway, Hotstar guys are not going to complain. They have almost finalized a deal with Reliance to sell their Indian business. This will add some more bargaining power to their side.

Guess most of them tuned in for Virat's 49th? Kohli missed 2 tons in the last 3 matches. I'm sure everyone was expecting 49th today but bad luck.

Almost finalized? I thought this handover deal was on just paper for now or at least on a negotiation level. Don't know what Mota bhai wants to achieve with this deal, considering Hotstar losing subs every quarter and JIO group already dominating the digital space.

Almost every other match in the World Cup has been one-sided, nothing new with this one. I felt sorry for Shubhman Gill after being out due to dengue, today was the day he could have boosted his morale if he had scored a century. Kohli, I believe has been jinxed as he is unable to get his 49th century as every time he gets near it he gets out. Shreyas Iyer trying everything to keep himself part of the squad as if he does not deliver today he might be rested for the rest of the tournament after Hardik is back.

Srilanka started well with Rohit Sharma out in the early overs, then they dropped two important catches and now this match is slowly going out of their hands. Indian bowlers would be able to get their batters out without much effort as the Indian bowling attack has been outstanding in the World Cup. Mohammad Shami has been in great form, he has become a threat to batters since he started bowling again for India.

In this way India is batting in the first innings, it can surely do more than 350 runs. Since yet there is adequate quantity since the beginning, they have collected good runs, but unfortunately Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill are unbeaten from the century. In today's match, India will perform great performances in their own domestic ground and try to win. The way India is batting against Sri Lanka today can do better in bowling performance, since they are bowling and batting in both of them in a great form. The ICC World Cup 2023 World Cup has India in the rank of rank in the ranks, and this World Cup may be for India. India will certainly play good for Sri Lanka today because if they can win the match today, then the point will be in the top of the table. Since South Africa has been currently in the top, but today's match will surely go to the position of India.

Sri Lanka team won the toss and decided to field first. Sri Lanka had a good start. Rohit Sharma's team was under a bit of pressure after India got Rohit Sharma out for two runs in India's opener. Both Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill were dismissed after the duo went close to their century in the impeccable partnership. Virat Kohli scored 88 runs off 94 balls and Shubman Gill scored 92 runs off 92 balls. Looking at the current state of play in India, it is clear that they will score above 300. Given a target of 300 runs, this match will be out of Sri Lanka's hands.

Indian batters did well today, until Pandya comes back they should play Ashwin, it doesn't feel right when 6th wicket goes and bowlers start coming in 

Saving grace of SL was Madhushanka, only he's been constantly performing well throughout the tournament. Rohit's wicket was beauty.

[onecall123]

Innings break!
India has set a big target for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka must chase down 358 runs in 50 overs to secure a victory. This win is vital for Sri Lanka as it will earn them two crucial points to boost their chances of reaching the semi-finals. While Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer delivered outstanding performances with the bat, none of the Indian batsmen managed to score a century. Indian bowlers have been performing impressively in this tournament, making it a challenging task for Sri Lankan batters to chase the total.

[HelliumZ]

OMG!!!!
Sri Lanka 2/3
Mohammed Siraj, one over, 1 maiden, 2 wickets.
Sri Lanka is not able to defend Mohammad Siraj's ball even today. It remains to be seen if Sri Lanka are all out before 60 runs today as in the Asia Cup. Today, Sri Lanka lost a wicket on the first ball of the innings. Three wickets fell within two runs of the team.

After five overs we have 28 dot balls with from top six batsmen just 2 have runs with balls all other four gone without disturbing scorer about them what the hell is going here because we can't expect performance like this from the team like Sri Lanka It's completely down and out of the game not only for this match overall from this game with this performance.

I was feeling Bangladesh is going worse but right now overall all Asian teams are having terrible time with just India and Afghanistan going to end this event on positive note all others are suffering due to lack of domestic infrastructure and required facilities for the young cricketers.

Srilanka, oh my brother's from the Indian subcontinent you are getting demolished by the Indian bowlers. What the heck you guys thought. I wanted to watch a game going till the end of the match but unfortunately it is over for Srilanka. This game is over.

This is just insane. Sri Lanka 14/6 after 10 overs. And this is not the first time. Remember what happened during the Asia Cup final? Perhaps it is time for the ICC to terminate the test status of Sri Lanka team and relegate them as an associate nation. And there is nothing wrong with the pitch at the Wankhede Stadium. This is the same pitch where India made 357. And there is a very good chance that India may break the record created by Australia a few days ago (when they won the match against Netherlands by 309 runs).

[libert19]

lol, I can't believe what I'm witnessing, SL completely destroyed, they might not even make 50 today.

Pure Shithousery is going on from the Lankan side and Indians are stat padding, first with the bat and now with the new ball lol.

Siraj is the new kryptonite for the Lankans. Madlad did the same in the Asia Cup and repeating the same here tonight, he's showing a bit of aggression also, which is not looking good. Lankans are already dead and he's sledging them unnecessarily.

[HelliumZ]

lol, I can't believe what I'm witnessing, SL completely destroyed, they might not even make 50 today.

The Sri Lankan team is going nowhere under the power of the Indian pacers. If 7 wickets fall for just 22 runs, Sri Lanka can collect a whopping 40 runs in today's match. This could be the lowest score in World Cup history. But Sri Lanka will perform so badly today, never imagined.

[Sithara007]

lol, I can't believe what I'm witnessing, SL completely destroyed, they might not even make 50 today.

They are now struggling at 22/7 after 10 overs. Mohammed Shami has retuned figures of 2-1-1-3, while Mohammed Siraj has figures of 5-2-8-3. The only remaining wicket went to Jasprit Bumrah. Fortunately for Sri Lanka, one of their batsmen have reached double digits. Angelo Mathews is currently batting at 12 runs, and he has Maheesh Theekshana for company. It doesn't look like Sri Lanka will reach 50 today. Only Kasun Rajitha and Dilshan Madushanka are yet to come. Just now Theekshana managed to hit Siraj for a 4, and that took the Sri Lankan total to 27/7. And then he got out to leave them at 29/8.

Just 2 more wickets needed now and Shami is in four wickets, can he get one more?

Got to admit that this is the deadliest bowling attack of Indian pace bowlers and the inexperienced Lankans have no clue about how to approach the moving balls.

Literally India is humiliating the SL with ball and luckily SL matched the lowest ODI score now which is 35.

Mohammed Siraj 3 wickets
Mohammed Shami 4 wickets
Jusprit Bumrah 1 wickets

Spinners are not getting any chance in today's match as 8 wickets have fallen and all the wickets are in possession of pacers. The remaining two wickets should be left for the spinners.

[Bitcoin_people]

8 wickets for 29 I am really disappointed with Sri Lanka's performance today. Today, India has given a target of 358 runs to Sri Lanka and they are struggling to meet that target. Today's match will be lost by a huge margin I can say for sure.
Best Batsman today:
Shubman Gill 92 Ball 92 Rans.
Virat Kohli 94 ball 88 rans.
Shreyas Iyer Shreyas Iyer 56 ball 82 rans.

Best Bowler today
Dilshan Madushanka 10 over 80 rans 5 wicket ( Sri Lanka)
Mohammed Shami 5 wicket.
Mohammed Siraj 3 wicket.

[libert19]

SL all out for 55 and this win confirms the participation of India in semis. Should have given one more over to Shami instead of Jadeja, he could have added that last wicket to his account as well.

India beat Sri Lanka today by a huge margin of 302 runs.The win ensured India's place in the semi-finals.
No one would have thought that Sri Lanka would lose in such a humiliating manner today.Batting from today they collected 357 runs in reply Sri Lanka came down to bat and got all out for just 55 runs.
All the credit for bowling out Sri Lanka for 55 runs goes to Md Sameer today.Because he took five wickets today against them, this Mohammad Sami was dropped from the XI early.Mohammad Sami is bowling well when given opportunities and is making his place.

Mohammed Siraj 3 wickets
Mohammed Shami 4 wickets
Jusprit Bumrah 1 wickets

Spinners are not getting any chance in today's match as 8 wickets have fallen and all the wickets are in possession of pacers. The remaining two wickets should be left for the spinners.

Man of the match was Md. Sami.                 
Jasprit Bumrah  -1 wicket
Mohammed Siraj -3 wicket
Mohammed Shami -5 wicket
Ravindra Jadeja -1 wicket

What a shamefull performance from the Sri Lanka team.  Even we will know that India is the  most favourite team in this  ICC men's world cup 2023  I wasn't thought that Sri Lanka will lose this  maths with this kind of big margin. Today Sri Lankan bowlers batted better than their batsmens. Anyway, India did their work as they are continuously doing in this series. Hats off to  Mohammed Shami and Muhammad Siraj  I also thought that Mohammad Sami gonna take the last wicket but it was filled by Rabindra Jadeja. Anyway congratulations to the Indian team for creating a record in this world cup series to go by such a huge margin
