Sri Lanka and New Zealand are set to face off in the third and final ODI of the series at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday (November 19). With the hosts already sealing the series with a 2-0 lead, this match serves as a dead rubber. However, New Zealand will aim to end?? the tour on a positive note by winning the last encounter.

Sri Lanka’s dominance and New Zealand’s quest for redemption

Sri Lanka’s commanding performances in the first two ODIs have ensured a series win, showcasing their balanced side and strong form at home. With the final game offering an opportunity to experiment, Sri Lanka might give chances to fringe players while aiming for a clean sweep to boost their morale ahead of upcoming challenges.

Despite their struggles in the ODI series, the Blackcaps will aim to finish their campaign with a win. While their T20I series performance showcased resilience, their ODI outings have highlighted inconsistencies in both batting and bowling. A win in Pallekele would help them salvage some pride and gather momentum f?or future assignments.

In a pulsating finale to the T20I series, the Indian cricket team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, secured a dramatic victory over Charith Asalanka’s Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday (July 30). India achieved a clean sweep in the series, winning 3-0, despite facing a challenging final match that extended into a Super Over. The Indian side emerged victorious from a precarious position, largely due to the exceptional bowling performances of Rinku Singh and Suryakumar in the final overs of the match.

India’s resilient performance

Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bowl first, putting India on the back foot early on. The Lankan bowlers restricted the Indian top order significantly, with only Shubman Gill managing to make a substantial impact. Gill scored 39 runs off 37 balls, while the rest of the top-order struggled, with Yashasvi Jaiswal (10), Sanju Samson (0), Rinku (1), Suryakumar (8) and Shivam Dube (13) all failing to contribute effectively?. India lost five wickets for ju??st 45 runs, struggling to build a solid foundation.

Despite the top-order collapse, Riyan Parag (26 off 18 balls) and Washington Sundar (25 off 18 balls) provided some valuable contributions. Their efforts, along with Gill’s innings, helped India post a total of 137 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. Maheesh Theekshana was the standout bowler for? S?ri Lanka, claiming three wickets.

Sri Lanka’s chase and super over drama

In response, Sri Lanka’s chase was anchored by Kusal Mendis, who scored 43 runs off 41 balls. However, key moments in the match turned the tide in India’s favor. Washington Sundar‘s crucial double-wicket over in the 17th over, where he dismissed two Sri Lankan batters, significantly tightened the contest. When Sri Lanka needed 9 runs from 12 balls, Rinku, making his T20 debut as a bowler, delivered a stunning 19th over. He dismissed Kusal Perera (46 off 34 balls) and Ramesh Mendis, leaving ?Sri Lanka needing 6 runs off the ??final over.

Captain Suryakumar took charge of the last over for I??ndia and delivered a remarkable performance, taking two wickets and conc?eding only five runs. This superb bowling effort restricted Sri Lanka to 137 runs for 8 wickets in their 20 overs, and the match proceeded to the Super Over.

The decisive super over: India’s thrilling finish

The Super Over began with Sr??i Lanka batting first, facing a crucial task to set a challenging target for India. Sri Lanka’s innings nevertheless was quickly disrupted by India’s Sundar, who delivered a masterful performance.

Sundar’s accuracy and composure under pressure were evident as he restricted Sri Lanka to just 3 runs in their Super Over. His first delivery resul??ted in a single, and he followed up with a well-placed ball that yielded another single. Sund??ar’s next delivery trapped a Sri Lankan batter in front of the stumps for a critical wicket. After another dot ball and a single, Sundar struck again, taking another wicket and ensuring the Sri Lankans could only manage a total of 3 runs.

With the modest target set, India’s Suryakumar took on the challenge of chasing down the runs. He faced the first ball of the Super Over with intent, and with a powerful?? stroke, struck a boundary through the infield. This boundary not only secured the winning runs but also sealed the match for India, confirming their clean sweep of the series with a 3-0 victo??ry.

No matter who wins the super over , man of the match award should go to SKY. Not even in the wildest imagination with 9 runs required of the last 2 overs with 6 wick?ets in hand , no captain would have chosen the option to bowl Rinku and SKY in the 19th and 20th over.

Star Indian leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi showcased a spectacular bowling performance in the second T20I  of the three-match series against Sri Lanka at Dambulla on Sunday (July 28). Bishnoi’s spell of 3/26 in his four overs was pivotal in restricting the hosts to 161/9 after they looked set for a massive total at one point. His disciplined bowling broke crucial partnerships and pegged back the Sri Lankan innings.

Turning the tide

Sri Lanka seemed to be in control at 130/2, but Bishnoi’s introduction in the 10th over dramatically changed the game’s momentum. He immediately made an impact by breaking a crucial 54-run partnership, dismissing Pathum Nissanka for 32?. This wicket proved to be a pivotal moment, as Bis?hnoi maintained relentless pressure with his precise lines and smart variations, turning the tide in favor of his team.

Decisive 17th over by Ravi Bishnoi

In a game-changing 17th over, Bishnoi dismissed two former Sri Lankan captains, Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga, both for golden ducks. Shanaka was undone by a brilliantly executed googly, managing only an inside edge that shattered his stumps. Hasaranga, attempting a slog sweep, was also?? deceived by a googly, resulting in his stumps being sent cartwheeling. These twin strikes left Sri Lanka in disarray, significantly disrupting their momentum. Struggling? to recover, they managed to add only 31 runs in the final five overs, drastically falling short of a competitive total.

Here’s the video:

?You will hardly see Ravi Bishnoi not p?erforming for Team India.

Early onslaught by Sri Lankan openers and India’s strong comeback

Earlier in the innings, Indian bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj struggled to make early breakthroughs. The Sri Lankan openers, Kusal Mendis and Nissanka, launched an aggressive assault, reaching 55/0 within the powerplay. Their relentless attack forced Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav to make tactical changes.

In the 9th over, Arshdeep returned to the attack and managed to dismiss the dangerous Mendis, who was going strong. This breakthrough was crucial in slowing down the Sri Lankan scoring rate. Despite Mendis’ departure, Nissanka continued his aggressive innings, with Kusal Perera providing support. Hardik Pandya‘s intervention in the 16th over was another key moment in the match. Pandya managed to dismiss Kusal Perera, who was anchoring the Sri Lankan innings with a brilliant half century. Perera’s wicket triggered a collapse, and Sri Lanka’s innings nosedived from 130/2 to 161/9, thanks in large part to Bishnoi’s exceptional spell and Pandya’s timely breakthrough.

In the 1st T20I of the three-match series between Sri Lanka and India on Satur??day (July 27) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pall??ekele, India put up a formidable score of 213/7 in their 20 overs.

India’s strong batting display 

Yashasvi Jaiswal led the charge with a dynamic 40 off 21 balls, showcasing his aggressive stroke play. Shubman Gill also made a notable contribution with a brisk 34 from just 16 balls. Captain Suryakumar Yadav anchored the innings with a commanding 58 off 26 balls, demonstrating his explosive batting style. Rishabh Pant provided a crucial boost with 49 from 33 balls, including several bound????aries.

Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag and Axar Patel made valuable lo?wer-order contributions, with Pandya scoring 9, Parag adding 7, and Patel finishing unbeaten with 10. Despite a series of wickets falling at key moments,?? the Indian batting line-up’s depth and aggressive intent ensured they set a daunting target for Sri Lanka.

Matheesha Pathirana’s memorable delivery to Hardik Pandya

One of the standout moments of the innings came from Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana. His delivery on the 4th ball of the 17th over was a jaw-dropping inswinging yorke?r delivered at a searing pace of 151 km/h. Pandya, trying to create room by stepping away from hi??s leg stump, was left stranded. The pace and movement of Pathirana’s delivery crashed into Pandya’s pads and deflected onto the stumps, resulting in a spectacular dismissal that had the crowd roaring in appreciation.

Sri Lankan bowling performance

Sri Lanka’s bowlers faced a tough challenge against India’s aggressive batting. Dilshan Madushanka and Asitha Fernando struggled, with both giving away significant runs. Maheesh Theekshana also found it challenging to contain the Indian batters. Wanindu Hasaranga was relatively more economical, taking a wicket and conceding fewer runs. However, the highlight of the Sri Lankan bowling effort was Pathirana’s spell, where he claimed 4 wi??ckets for 40 runs, proving to be the standout performer in an othe?rwise tough day for the bowlers.

Indian cricket is poised on the brink of a new chapter as Gautam Gambhir steps into his first assignment as head coach for the national team. The historic occasion will see India face off against Sri Lanka in the opening T20I at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium this Saturday. Adding to the excitement is Suryakumar Yadav, who will captain India? in a T20I for the first time as the permanent leader.

Suryakumar has previously shown his mettle in leadership roles against Australia and South Africa, delivering commendable performances. With the retirement of stalwarts Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja, India is undoubtedly in a transition phase. This series will serve as a crucial test for the new-look squad in the absence of the?? iconic trio.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are undergoing its own leadership transformation. Following a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign, Wanindu Hasaranga stepped down as captain. Charith Asalanka will now lead the team, aiming to steer the Islanders towards success. The hosts face additional challenges, as they will be without key pacers Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera for the series. However, they are hopeful that the form players from the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024 will rise t?o the occasion and make a significant impact.
