Looks like there might be a 10 over game.

 

[Thivagar]

It's another De Silva making a debut. Only Sri Lanka will possess a 5 foot 3 "hard hitting all rounder".

These South African newbies looking a good fit for the modern LO game.

Atleast the Sri Lankan selectors have the courage to select youngsters. Same cannot be said for our revolutionary selectors

Look at the belly of Pradeep.

 

[Dark Magician]

Now for Lungi Ngidi.

Exactly they are sticking with them even though they struggled in England and lost to Australia in the LO series.

Inzi should take a leaf out of Jaysuriyas book.

De silva going for one big hit too many

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Matthews should come in

 

[Abdullah719]

27 off the last over, SL need a 'remember the name' moment now.

 

[troodon]

SL losing to a bunch of nobodies. How badly have they fallen

 

[Thivagar]

Minnow moment for SL, looked comfortable for half the match and then choke as usual. Mathews and Chandimal looked horrible. Dickwella is a dynamic player, played very cleverly. Poor bowling from SL. Too many lose deliveries.

 

[MRSN]

tough days for Sri Lanka. Thought they will win today.
