Sri Lanka were all out for a meagre 73 in 22 overs, It is the biggest margin of victory by runs in the history of men's ODIs.

I am in awe of India's strengths but this score by Sri Lanka needs to investigated.

No slight on India but Sri Lanka batters cannot be this bad.

Very rarely we see such a thread by [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION].

If he thinks this was suspicious than who knows, might have a point. Could someone share the fall of wickets here.

There has been alot if news of sri lankan players violating laws

Do you think srilanka will waste their time and money to investigate this match?
 
Don't think so. You can have a really awful game once in a while.
 
The SL players want to get to their T20 Franchises and earn the big bucks. Nobody is interested in these pointless ODIs and T20s. And the crowds are even less interested in tests. International cricket in crisis. Only the Wcs matter otherwise they are a waste of times
 
When you continue to lose, things can go from bad to worse as the tour progresses. Fact is that they have been a very ordinary team since a long time now. Because they don’t have anyone of Vaas, Malinga caliber they heavily rely on a lot of spinners which also doesn’t work great against India so we are understandably a tough opponent for them.
 
haha, India win big and there are questions raised. Lanka had beaten India at one point with a margin of 245 runs too
 
Thiruvananthapuram pitch under lights is quite a spicy pitch. I remember Bhuvi or someone destroying SA under lights last year.

Sri Lanka Cricket has been under the scanner in recent times.

This sort of performance by an international side doesn't add up.

Like I said in post#1 - there is no slight on Indian players - they did their job.

Kohli could barely score when they bowled good length to him. They showed the pitch map of sramers to Kohli. 92 strike rate on good length. 175 + everywhere else.

Siraj nailed his lengths and with the movement, he was unstoppable.

For your reference. This was a match at the same venue under lights and SA were reduced to 9/5 by Chahar and Arshdeep and neither bowled as well as Siraj.

The pitch and conditions at the ground simply get better for bowling under lights.
 
Reminds of India vs Sri Lanka 2000 match in Sharjah where SL defeated IND by 245 runs, it was the biggest ODI win at that time.

Unfortunate how times have changed.
 
They almost beat India in the T20 series. It's just a bad day at the office, don't see any reason to be suspicious.
 
Didnt see the game. Were there any dodgy dismissals? or poor bowling or fielding on purpose?

77 all out on a pitch where the other team scored 390 - this not Nepal but Sri Lanka

Lets see in a day or two - Sri Lankans dont take lightly to this - should be some comments.
 
This was a dead rubber game in a dead rubber series. This series was not a part of Super League. I wonder if that played a factor.

Either way, SL should've done better.
 
ICC should investigate if Virat Kojli tampered with his bat. There is no way a mortal could play such an innings on this pitch
 
Ok, for the benefit of OP, this is the highest ever score by any team in any format at this venue. Not even Ranji trophy matches have seen this kind of score.

This ground and pitch has a reputation for being stingy. Just that Virat and Gill batted unbelievably well. Also didn't help that Sri Lankan bowlers weren't great.
 
I don’t think so. Clearly must have felt the pressure chasing 390, probs thought themselves they couldn’t win it.
 
Sri Lanka are true minnows of the game...it was a fluke they won the asia cup...Pakistan were the real asia cup champions in T20
 
If teams are not interested in these OD , what is the point in playing them. Such meaningless OD should not be played at International level.
 
The conditions were good for the bowling in the second innings. Also, I believe some good bowling, the score board pressure, the playing conditions, and the dead rubber nature of the match contributed to this easy win for India. Sure, Sri Lankan batsmen could have applied better.
 
They should. ICC should appoint an independent anti-corruption body to moniter cricket worldwide.


:afridi1
 
SL are glorified minnows these days going through a monumental generational change.

Only batsmen I recognized was Kusal Perera.

Agreed. No mortal man can bat like this in bilateral series and turn into Chris Martin in ICC knock out matches.
 
All this accusation takes the sheen of the great bowling by Mohammad Siraj

Wickets

1st wicket outswing by siraj
2nd wicket outswing by siraj
3rd wicket mistimed cut shot against shami
4th wicket outswing by siraj
5th wicket inswing by siraj
6th wicket a fluke run out at non striker's end
7th wicket bamboozled by kuldeep not the first batsman to do that :babar
8th wicket drive goes to fieler
9th wicket batsman gets into a tangle and played on.
 
LOL what a thread.
India at home is a monster team. Batting at home they are at a whole different level.

This can happen. SL is a very average team.
 
A thoroughly embarrassing day for all involved in Sri Lanka cricket.

The players should be ashamed of themselves and I wonder what the likes of Murali, Ranatunga, Aravinda, Sangakkara, Jayawardena etc will be thinking.

Unexplainable collapse. Certainly Jayasuriya was a nightmare against India as no one other than Agarkar could contain him.

In my opinion, nobody slaughtered Indian bowling better than Jayasuriya did in 1997. Although, that particular match we are talking about was in 2000.

They're use to it, they know they're terrible.
 
I don't think its any match fixing, but I haven't watched a single ball of this match.

But besides, what is it with Sri Lanka Cricket? I have been watching cricket since 2016, and pretty much every youngster/ debutant that played for Sri Lanka, initially perform at an outstanding level on their debut matches.

A year later, that same player has either nowhere near the same level, or they aren't even in the team...

Some examples; Aviskha Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Nissaka

Wanindu Hasaranga is the only one who hasn't gone down this path. Yet

There is a news of Sri Lankans disastrous World Cup campaign in Australia.
They had infighting, casino nights and a fake prophet along with them advising on some shenanigans like burning lamps/fires inside hotel rooms for good omen.

Kohli needs these sort of teams to do some stat padding and get himself back in form before the WC. SL have always been his bunnies.
 
Yes, SL are this bad. They are good enough to pull the rug from underneath teams like Pakistan, but against top outfits that are clinical, they will get decimated. England and Australia would do the same to them.
 
The only test victory Pakistan had in 2022 against Sri Lanka was also under scrutiny in Sri Lankan political circles. There was talk of the team and pitch curator throwing the match away for money on fifth day.

There's no smoke without fire. You never know about this game too

Seriously? One of the best Indian batting line up got bowled out for 54 . These things happen.
 
Why would any bookie in the world pay anything to SL cricketers to lose a dead rubber? Just doesnt make any sense.

Yeah I was never scared of the likes of Jaya, Sanga, de Silva, Ranatunga, even Murali and Vaas. But Sanath terrified me. Bullied us (1996-2004) endlessly.

1997 was his peak. I mean against us. I was 11 years old back then, and no other cricketers terrified me more than him. It's strange when you grow up with the game. Now I'm at a stage when even LOI series defeats don't upset me much. Back then a single boundary or a six by the opposition used to hurt me.

I remember celebrating early after dismissing Sanath and Kalu early in WC 1996 SF. But then, Aravinda played the greatest KO innings that i have seen silencing the packed Eden Gardens.

Same here. Remember celebrating the dismissal of Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharana.
 
I don't think match-fixing is an accusation that should be thrown around without any proof. It was an ATG horrible performance by Sri Lanka. Arguably one of the worst in the history of the format. But that doesn't necessarily mean that something else was going on.

The Sri Lankan players are probably in a bad enough space as it is with the prospect of World Cup qualifiers looming, without them being accused of match-fixing.

They've pulled the rug from India too. In the last Asia Cup and the 2017 Champions Trophy, in which India were finalists.
 
Its a meaningless bilateral game, nobody cares.

Sri Lanka won when it mattered in last year’s Asia Cup and knocked India out of their own event.

I'm glad more are starting to catch on to this line of thinking.

Either give bilateral series context or there is no reason to care.

The bogus ODI Championship or whatever is useless, all the top teams are going to qualify. There is nothing at stake for them really.

No international games are meaningless.

To say otherwise is a disrespect to us fans as we exect all players to perform to the best of their abilities and to look to win at all times.

Whilst fixing allegations etc maybe a little farfetched given the burden of proof needed, the intent of SL players can be questioned.

Why should ICC question intent of players?

You are right - we should question if not corruption but at least the intent.

Although given Pakistan and Sri Lanka cricket's past history, it's reasonable that questions will be raised on such unusual results.

Bilateral ODI games used to mean something in the past. Not anymore.

T20 has demolished the beauty of bilateral cricket.

There’s a super league and also WC qualification implications.
