Australia (158/3) comfortably defeat Sri Lanka (157/6) by 7 wickets in Group 1 clash

[jnaveen1980]

Loading past by sell date T20 players is not the greatest strategy. They can still come back. So far nobody found any rhythm.

 

[Smbhayi]

There's a clear gap btw bat and ball and yet tv umpire asking for ultra edge : facepalm

 

[GLORY OF '92]

No boundaries that's insane vs Australia.

SL too smart

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Marsh dropped

 

[Smbhayi]

Never look like they're taking that catch..

 

[Asif321]

Damm would have been huge wicket here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Asian champions Sri Lanka is on a roll here

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Oh that could cost the game

 

[Smbhayi]

Another skier but lands in safe..

 

[fight_club]

I think aussies are in trouble here. Spinners are difficult to hit here

 

[Asif321]

Australia playing like minnow in home ground

 

[Asif321]

There's a clear gap btw bat and ball and yet tv umpire asking for ultra edge : facepalm

Ball is near to the bat can I get ultraedge please

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol finch, did he middled anything..?

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a flukey innings from Marsh and FInch lol Seriously they don't deserve to win this game. Everything goes against them

 

[Asif321]

Poor first one from wanandu

 

[jnaveen1980]

That drop is costing them big time

 

[light]

Lanka looking competitive here. Glad that they qualified

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That drop is costing them big time

Marsh is too good he'll take them home now

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow finch finally middled one and it's a big six

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Marsh gone

 

[Smbhayi]

Marsh gone

Hotstar is about 10 second slow

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wow

 

[topspin]

Nice dancing from the SL crowd.

Really enjoyed that.

Much more classy than the nagin dance.

 

[Stewie]

It doesnt look like Aussies are winning this one.

 

[topspin]

Marsh is too good he'll take them home now

I was expecting the same as well.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

It doesnt look like Aussies are winning this one.

Never say Never with Aussies

 

[jnaveen1980]

Marsh is too good he'll take them home now

He is not that good against spin. Looked out of depth in Bangladesh. Even in warm up game at UAE he struggled big time against Ashwin.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It doesnt look like Aussies are winning this one.

Whether they win or not they play some real uninspiring and ugly cricket.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Maxwell 666

 

[Smbhayi]

Maxwell will be dangerous for SL, He play spinners well.. hope he'll get out on his stupid reverse sweep/hit..

 

[topspin]

Maxwell is always good to watch.

 

[Smbhayi]

Maxwell will be dangerous for SL, He play spinners well.. hope he'll get out on his stupid reverse sweep/hit..

And he hit a six

 

[topspin]

Maxwell 666

Who do you think is better - him or Pandya?

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have terrific depth.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Maxwell is on fire

 

[Asif321]

Maxwell taking the momentum

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Who do you think is better - him or Pandya?

Pandya

 

[jnaveen1980]

They need to win by a huge margin

 

[topspin]

Sri Lanka are now ahead of the asking rate from the outset. They’re gonna win it with ease now.

Maxwell is so dangerous in Australia.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Aus favourites now

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

3rd class bowler waindu so easy to hit him

 

[fight_club]

Does hasranga ever bowl a leggie? Never seen that from him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia was seriously lucky for 7 overs. Now they are paying back heavily .

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3rd class bowler waindu so easy to hit him

We make him look world class

 

[jnaveen1980]

Both Maxwell and Wanindu hasarnga are part of RCB clan. He plays him a lot in the nets.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sri Lanka need 2 wickets in an over to make a comeback.

 

[Asif321]

Wow 22 in 5 Maxi

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lahiru is bowling very well here

 

[jnaveen1980]

As soon as Maxie came in they should have brought pace on.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lahiru has injured Maxwell

 

[jnaveen1980]

All said and done Binuru fernando's loss makes it very hard for Srilanka. He bowled just 2 balls before leaving the ground

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

All said and done Binuru fernando's loss makes it very hard for Srilanka. He bowled just 2 balls before leaving the ground

He bowled 5 balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ouch. This is seriously pacy stuff from Lahiru. Most threatening bowler in this tournament so far

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Will be interesting to see how Haris Rauf will bowl on this wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will be interesting to see how Haris Rauf will bowl on this wicket.

He can be effective. He is not going to be dangerous. Because Lahir bowls heavy ball.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is a bad pitch. The ball previous to the one that injured Maxi took off much more than it should have.

Earlier in the England-RSA test series, there was a pitch that was seaming at crazy historical levels

But Hey. ICC will only punish Indian pitches.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Ouch. This is seriously pacy stuff from Lahiru. Most threatening bowler in this tournament so far

Look at him and then look at Harshal Patel.

 

[Asif321]

Lahiru looks malcomm marshall

 

[jnaveen1980]

Where is Chameera on this pitch?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Look at this guy Lahiru's size. Damn looks like a boxer

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Finch dropped

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Maxwell gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Asian sides suck with fielding. Their standard is below associate level

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bhandara dropped finch but took a very good catch of Maxi

 

[Asif321]

What a catch ! Lankans on fire

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

They won't mind dropping Finch. Maxwell was looking dangerous.

 

[Asif321]

Can’t believe this is same team which lost to namibia

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good michael jackson type footwork there by Bandara.

 

[shamaan]

Great catch

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Can’t believe this is same team which lost to namibia

They also started Asia Cup badly.

 

[shamaan]

What's wrong with the pitch.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Asian sides suck with fielding. Their standard is below associate level

You were saying something?

 

[jnaveen1980]

You were saying something?

So that is a droppable catch ? difficultly level was only slightly higher.

Not a bad pitch, there's good balance between bat and bowl

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You were saying something?

He didn't say anything wrong though. He was talking generally.

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies need 61 runs from 7 overs.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

So that is a droppable catch ? difficultly level was only slightly higher.

Even Cummins dropped an easy catch earlier its the asian sides mainly SL and Pakistan who are bashed a lot for dropping any catch

 

[jnaveen1980]

This will be a very lucky win for Australia. FInch should have got out many times. So many just miss situation for him.

 

[sweep_shot]

Lankans can win this. RRR is almost 9. A few overs are needed from them.

 

[Asif321]

Srilanka have punched above their belt . Love the passion
