India tour of Sri Lanka

Sri lankan opening players are doing a great job in 5th ODI.

 

Score Update:

Sri Lanka are doing really good batting first, scoring 124/1 in 20 overs at a healthy run rate of 6+ per over.

Update: 196/1 31 Overs
Dilshan and Sanga are playing well. Hope to watch good match today.

 

Well seems we are watching yet another high scoring game and it seems we will get 325+ target and I think it seems India's dream run may be come to end today.

 

And India pulls back nicely into the game by claiming 4 wickets in 6 balls !!

SriLanka are currently 266/6 in 44 overs....Target would be somewhere 300+(still 6 overs left)

Well one more wicket and it looks Indian bowler did excellent job and now seems we have under 300 runs target.

 

Update


SL 320/8(50)

India need 321 runs to win...

 

For a change, India has a disastrous start

India have lost both the openers, Gambhir and Viru and even one down Raina to score 60/3 off 10 overs....The target of 321 looks daunting and is adding to the pressure...i guess..

Well today we have long batting line up and I think these two might bring India in the match as one of them playing attacking cricket while Rohit is playing defensive.

 

India lost the match finally by 52 runs
i saw some highlights and i think that no one tried to win the match for india
as every batsmen was very relaxed (i am talking about top orders)

 

First India lost the match by 68 runs not by 52 runs.
And yes every Indian player was relaxed because they had already won the series.

 

Well it means India now dropped to the 3rd Ranking once again. Latest Ranking:

Now we are 2 points behind to Australia who won today's match.

 

Well India lost 5th ODI = Poor bowling + poor batting…
I realized that Indian batsman was not played serious today.

After losing this match India is now also lose their World Rank no.2 as Australia won the match today.

Here is Latest Ranking:

1. South Africa– 125 Points
2. Australia- 122 Points
3. India – 120 Points

 

When is 20-20 match and at what time it will start ?

 

Nothing wrong from indian team, they played well. Sri lankan captain must come to a good level, his out form is the main reason for fail in this series.

 

All hopes of 10th consecutive Indian win came crashing down yesterday....mainly due to poor performance by the bowlers...We badly missed Zaheer Khan and Pragyan Oza....

And SriLankans had devised a plan finally...to get Viru out cheaply at the start...We could not miss the acknowledgement of the success of their plan on the face of Jayasuriya when Viru got out...

Well...The series is now over and We await the selection of Team for New Zealand which is on 15th Feb...

It will be tomorrow and I guess it will be in evening. It will be a interesting game for World Champions India.

 

now we will see a new statstics after New Zelend series.

 

Yes and it could put India on top of the world Ranking if we beat New Zealand by 5-0. I want to see test series win for India.

 

Do not be so much optimistic....NewZealand still reminds me of the disastrous tour we had about 4 years back when the pitch was so much under prepared that the Indian team had struggled to cross even 100 runs in an innings..

Hopefully, we will turn the tables this time...
