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

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Too many drops by sL

 

[jnaveen1980]

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

Their drops are rare. You know it. Asian fielding is generally poor at all levels. Look at the fielding of warner today.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

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

It's the finch who is keeping SL in the game, as long as Finch is on the crease it's plus for SL

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Stoinis is taking the game away from Sri Lanka

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another lucky 4 lol oh my god

 

[Asif321]

Two lucky fours

 

[jnaveen1980]

They will win in 19th over or 20th over. So that is not going to help runrate wise.

 

[fight_club]

Credit to lanka they are making a match out of it inspite of losinh a pacer

 

[Smbhayi]

So much luck gone Aus side this match.. hard to win against that..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Some serious axe cutting from Finch lol

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Why they're persisting with wahindu when they have other options available

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rank long hop deposited.

 

[Asif321]

Ahh hasaranga losing it

 

[topspin]

Finch 27 off 39 balls

 

[alone1213]

LOL loving this phainty being given to hasaranga.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why they're persisting with wahindu when they have other options available

Tehy have lost a bowler to injury. They have no choice

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Stoinis giving a phainta

 

[GLORY OF '92]

20 short SL

 

[jnaveen1980]

No prize for guessing who match ka mujrim is

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Half century for Hasaranga

 

[Asif321]

Game done and dusted

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Wanindu 53-0 in 3 lol, who make him bowler should jump in to well

 

[alone1213]

Wanindu bowled like Nawaz haris and Shaheen in the last 3 overs. 3 overs for 53 runs. He has lost this for srilanka.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya vs Stoinis would be a good comparison.

 

[Asif321]

But we’ll played Lankan lions

 

[fight_club]

This is the problem.with asian teams they play with pre determined combinations. Such pitch demand 4 pacers only spinner can play

Hasranga has lost it for lanka

 

[alone1213]

Wanindu hasaranga can only bowl well to Pakistan and minnows.
Other teams bash him like no tomorrow.

 

[Smbhayi]

Half century for Hasaranga

First time in t20i, I think (commies said something like that)

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Game over for lanka. 170 would have been competitive but a slow start killed their chances

 

[alone1213]

Marcus should stoinis always try to attack from ball one.

 

[Stewie]

Hasanranga has been taken apart by the Aussies.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think they are trying to make up for that massive loss against NZ.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Only dealing in sixes now wow

 

[alone1213]

Marcus stoinis is playing a Blinder here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Marcus should stoinis always try to attack from ball one.

It is unusual he palys like this. He is like Dhoni. Takes deep usually. Today it seems like they are targeting NRR.

 

[Smbhayi]

Wanindu hasaranga can only bowl well to Pakistan and minnows.
Other teams bash him like no tomorrow.

Yeah that's why his er is 6.83..

 

[alone1213]

Aaron finch should retire himself. He is done now.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

This is the problem.with asian teams they play with pre determined combinations. Such pitch demand 4 pacers only spinner can play

Hasranga has lost it for lanka

Yup this was a super spicy pitch, bounce and carry was

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looking at the onslaught on spinners it is even wise to play 2 spinners? Spinners can singlehandedly lose a match in these conditions. Unless you are experienced like Ashton Agar.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Fastest fifty by an Australia in T20s by Stoinis

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Stoinis is Australia's most dynamic hitter apart from Warner - hits both pace and spin. Hadaranga has singlehandedly lost this match.

 

[alone1213]

Brilliant from Marcus stoinis. Already the best knock of tournament.

 

[jnaveen1980]

16th over Finch is 28 oh my god. One of the worst innings i have seen in world T20

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

SL get stoned by stoinis

 

[jnaveen1980]

At perth you just load up your side with pacers. Spinners are useless.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

What an inning

 

[SamNJ]

Hasranga can win you matches as he is a wicket taker but at times he goes for too many runs.
Shadab is excellent defensive bowler. No batsman has dominated him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

lol Finch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hasranga can win you matches as he is a wicket taker but at times he goes for too many runs.
Shadab is excellent defensive bowler. No batsmen has dominated him.

Moeen Ali has done if i am right. Smashing him for 2 or 3 back to back sixes

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Can we call this a GOAT knock too?

 

[jnaveen1980]

What did he eat lol

 

[alone1213]

Can we call this a GOAT knock too?

Best of the tournament. He completely decimated srilanka.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

What did he eat lol

Spinch popye the sailor man

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Jesus Stoinis that was brilliant

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stoinis looked all at sea against NZ. He made 7 runs 14 balls against New zealand haha what a turnaround

 

[Rana]

Who wants another accumulator (Smith) in this side?

Not me!

World class hitting by Maxwell and Stoinis!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

You were saying something?

He's right. SL, India and Pakistan have been the worst catching sides this year. Nowhere close to a side like NZ, who are by far the best

 

[jnaveen1980]

Santner >> SL spinners. Bit harsh assessment given that the surface is different.

 

[Rana]

This is how you treat Hasaranga!

 

[topspin]

Misbah be like:

“Finch is man of the match. He played an innings like I did. My legacy lives on because off him”

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This is how you treat Hasaranga!

Yes we don't have the power to do that though Stoinis is stronger than our whole squad

 

[Mas-LFC]

Sri Lanka know only one way - spin to win. Their spinners got smoked today. Stoinis just battered them, simple as that.

As for Lankan strategy with spin heavy. It will work in Asian conditions not overseas. One stage their pacers did well got Maxwell out and conceded little then they bring back spinners from both ends on a bouncy wicket with little grip for spinners!

Got smashed. Glad they did.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is a massive player in BBL right? All Australian grounds are like his home. No surprise he played a knock like this.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Yes we don't have the power to do that though Stoinis is stronger than our whole squad

Chacha can hit him no more than 3 sixes

 

[alone1213]

Ridiculous strike rate of 327. Just insane..
What an amazing innings by Marcus stoinis.
He hit 6 sixes.

We have to cut some slack. They lost 3 overs of Binuru. They were forced to use spinners despite knowing there was not much assistance.

 

[alone1213]

I bet Marcus stoinis can't hit 150 sixes during practice.

 

[sweep_shot]

Relatively big win in the end for the Aussies. That should repair the NRR a bit.

 

[Rana]

Aim straight

Chacha can do it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Relatively big win in the end for the Aussies. That should repair the NRR a bit.

Still -1.5555 NR placed 4th even behind Srilanka who are 0.455. If England thrashes Australia that is pretty much over for Australia

 

[Rana]

I bet Marcus stoinis can't hit 150 sixes during practice.

Stoinis is allowed to play with slightly less stress because he is still a decent medium pacer who can bowl some overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia looked out of depth mostly until that cameo from Stoinis

 

[Sunny_majoka]

I bet Marcus stoinis can't hit 150 sixes during practice.

Imagine someone in Australia backs stoinis to captain the team.

ICC T20 World Cup 2022 | Australia v Sri Lanka | Group 1 | Perth | 25 October | Match Discussion

That was net practice throw-downs to Stoinis by Hasaranga. What a shocker of a day for the man! Nowhere near looked like the bowler that he usually is. Sri Lanka's over-reliance on their spinners cost them today and is clearly a matter of concern for them going forward in the tournament.

 

[MenInG]

 

[jnaveen1980]

I am not sure if this is the same Perth pitch where Afghanistan played England. That one would have suited SL more. This one absolutley had nothing for spinners

 

[Fenrir]

Amazing power hitting by Stoinis.The size of the ground didn't matter.We don't have any big and strong player to
clear big boundaries.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia vs England will be like India vs Pakistan encounter. Can't wait for that.

 

[Mas-LFC]

We have to cut some slack. They lost 3 overs of Binuru. They were forced to use spinners despite knowing there was not much assistance.

Their captain had 3 overs left, Karunatne had over left and Lahiru had 2left before it was too late. Shouldve used pacers. Not spinners both from ends! Which made it easier. Stoinis tonked their spinners.
