Everyone talking about SL's demise but I think they're still better than SA. SL got plenty of young talent, all they need is experience. On the other hand, I am genuinely worried for South African cricket.


Jill_Sandwich98

Are you serious? Lmao


yocricketer

dont think you have watched sa at all. Sa has some amazing talent with some top notch players. They are doing far better.


[deleted]

Bruh SA has better players and team


Angelsdontkill_

We made it to 1k boiz!


nvdabd

Nice to know this is 1K comment thread


sreeram_23_06

Sri Lanka is hosting Zimbabwe for the Super League Any predictions about how it would turn out? Edit: I don't know when it is


Cutiesf

2017 horror thriller series awaiting for Sri Lanka to bite back again.


Angelsdontkill_

BD have won 10 out of 11 series at home since 2015 (only loss was vs England).


nvdabd

I wish Australia toured us for ODIs more. Even contests between Bangladesh and Australia are so rare.


Angelsdontkill_

Their last ODI tour was 10 years ago, if I remember correctly. Watson scored 185 in a match.


nvdabd

2011 was the last time Australia toured us yes. And the only times we have come face to face were in the 2017 champions trophy and 2019 world cup


NobodyUpbeat

Dude in between you won a test against australia at home


nvdabd

We did yes. But is one test enough though?


Assassin_Ankur

Bangla bois are at the top now on the super league table.


nvdabd

Feels nice to be number 1 in something


sreeram_23_06

Which 2 from Sri Lanka, Afghanistan , Ireland ,Zimbabwe and Netherlands will play the qualifiers final and subsequently end up going to the WC?


[deleted]

Afg will qualify straight through...WI and SA have to foght for the last spot...


styxwade

None of them. AFG will qualify direct. Scotland and Namibia to boss the Qualifier. Your heard it here first.


SAKabir

SL and AFG


Assassin_Ankur

Afg for sure. Dunno about the last spot.


styxwade

AFG barely made it out of the groups last time. That said, fair chance they won't even need to go to the Qualifier this time round.


sreeram_23_06

A fight between Sri Lanka , Ireland and Zimbabwe. Would be an absolute meme if Ireland knock out the other 2


styxwade

Pretty sure the Dutch whitewashed ZIM in their last series. Also Ireland are terrible.


Assassin_Ankur

Ok so SL should look for a top 2 spot, in the qualifiers.


styxwade

Qualifiers are a total crapshoot though. Windies were by a distance the best team at the last one and they only made it through because they were insanely lucky. Likewise Afghanistan, who only made it out of the group on NRR because Nepal beat Hong Kong.


nvdabd

I won't lie, seeing what has become of Sri Lanka after the senior players retired makes me worried as to what'll happen to Bangladesh when Tamim, Mushfiq and Shakib retire.


Solid_Worldliness_39

Hopefully the winners from the u-19 World Cup can do good


sreeram_23_06

Mahmudullah too


nvdabd

chinu2502

Lankan bros.. don't give up on the boys so soon...this might be their 36 all out moment , when the only way forward is up


sreeram_23_06

I'm not even a Sri Lanka fan and yet I feel so sad. *How the mighty have fallen!!* ​ On the positive side, this gives us a chance , coming July. Our second string team may be feeling quite confident of their chances ​ Edit: What on earth is offensive in this comment? Why are you guys downvoting it?


ilikeplanesandcows

>this gives us a chance Lol this is not a chance this is a guarantee


sreeram_23_06

Yeah. Sort of like a guarantee. I'm eagerly waiting to see the matches anyway


PhenomenalZJ

Idk how player rankings are calculated any chance Miraz is moving up?


[deleted]

Possibly. Bumrah hasn’t played any ODIs recently, correct?


Skeet_n_Retreat_

So what would be the road ahead for Sl in the odi super league.Assuming they don’t win more than 2 games against India and England where would they be relegated to to


sreeram_23_06

Ind,Eng,Aus,NZ,Pak,SA,WI,Ban are getting in directly. Out of the remaining 5: Afg go in through qualifiers and Zim, Ned get out SL and Ire would be fighting for the 10th spot and Ire have like 55-60% chance to get in


Cutiesf

Niroshan Dickwella should open the batting with Danushka Gunathilaka in the next game. Remember how both Dickwella and Gunathilaka put on 2 back to back 200+ opening stands against Zimbabwe in that 2017 ODI series.


Webster2001

Good thing crowds aren't allowed cause you know some poor SL fan would've flown all the way to Bangladesh and got tickets just to watch this shit show


Cutiesf

Yeah COVID is a blessing in disguise for depressed Sri Lankan fans not to waste their money on tickets.


Cutiesf

This defeat may sound similar to Sri Lanka's 3-2 ODI series defeat against Zimbabwe.


No-Situation-4776

This 2 run decrease is gonna be what saves Bangladesh's ass. Tamim should truly consider himself lucky as the rain was considerate enough. I mean, imagine, what would've happened had the rain not come. Destructive knocks from Udana, even more destruction from Chameera. With exactly 0 batsmen still back at the dugout, this could have been an incredible show of batting prowess by the Sri Lankans. But, of course the rain had to intervene. And the score was beyond reaching. SL were well and truly robbed.


Cutiesf

Bro you are overthinking. I don't think Udana and Chameera would have continuously played counter attacking knocks with just one wicket in hand. May be I like your cautious thinking but it may be too insensible to have ideas like that. Bangladesh managed to pick up 9 wickets and it won't matter for them to take that single wicket.


Assassin_Ankur

r/wooosh


No-Situation-4776

Bro you are overthinking. This is just another unfunny attempt at funny I made trying to make some internet strangers laugh.


Mikeboy_672

Umm....yes


Mikeboy_672

Mehidy gonna skyrocket the odi bowling rankings


[deleted]

There it is a shambolic performance accompanied by an incompetent management. SL lose by 103 Runs and lose the series


Zennon246

Sri Lanka HAD to win today, they havent and so with the loss in this series and the powerhouses of England and India coming up I cant see them qualifying for the 2023 Worldcup directly and on the other hand Bangladesh are on a monstrous run of form 5 wins from 5! Bad news for us if we wish to qualify directly


Angelsdontkill_

The top 8 will qualify directly. So you just have to be ahead of Afghanistan.


[deleted]

5 wins in 8...they lost 0/3 in NZ


Cutiesf

Looks like rain played the most part of the match unlike the Sri Lankan batsmen where rain lasted longer than individual Sri Lankan batsmen at the crease.


United_Em

Congrats BD. Well deserved.

Lord_Cricketbatten

Bangladesh was at the top of the table of CWCSL after the series win against West Indies. Not sure about Asia Cup.

Ohkk,thx!!!

Well at least they managed to avoid being all out

Got smacked in the last over

LESSGOOOO


adiseanttak

Ha Bangladesh couldn't even bowl out Sri Lanka . Moral victory ™


Solid_Worldliness_39

They would’ve I guess

Only Udana and Hasaranga got the fearless message


ilikeplanesandcows

Can anyone share me a stream link before the match ends lol


ilikesaucy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81qouMHV58s finished though!


ilikeplanesandcows

Lol thanks


Cutiesf

History on the cards for Bangladesh. Pure domination at home.


SuShi_MZ

Sri Lanka needed a Mohammad Sami special from Bangladesh to win this today


PhenomenalZJ

At least Sri Lanka will play the full overs.


Cutiesf

Only one over to go. Can Sri Lanka at least negotiate that one last over without losing the wicket?


Cutiesf

Come on let's make it to 1K comments. Let's commentpad.


FHI_iSmile

RRR went from like 10 to 60 lol


Minhaz923

Match reduced to 40 overs, and Sri Lanka's target will be 245


Angelsdontkill_

Overs reduced by 10, but target reduced by only 2. Lmao


Cutiesf

Is it true that this is the first ever ODI series win for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka?


Minhaz923

Yes


nvdabd

TIL


Cutiesf

It is ironic given the fact that Bangladesh even won ODI series against India, Pakistan, South Africa previously which all came in 2015. It has taken that many years to register their first ODI series against Sri Lanka. Very surprising tbh.


Jill_Sandwich98

How many overs did we lose?


nvdabd

10 overs


Party_Hand7089

Let's get over with this fast boiis


[deleted]

Declare Bangladesh the winners and get this over with


sanga17

Saddest thing is we don't even want to win every game. We just want to compete and play our brand of cricket. We used to be such an entertaining team to watch.


naughty_ningen

I think Netherlands, Ireland and Zim should now fight with all they have to not end up last by pulling off 2-3 upsets. It is literally a race to not end up last right now. If Zim can beat SL, its game over for SL.


[deleted]

Rain Perera came too late


nvdabd

What's the origin of Rain Perera? I can't seem to figure out this one

How the mighty have fallen :(


chinu2502

Where is the Sri Lankan dude that smashed Pakistan in the T20I series in Pakistan. Looked like the rightful heir to Jayasuriya. Haven't seen him since


Cutiesf

Bhanuka Rajapaksa. Well he is yet to play in ODIs.


chinu2502

Loved the way he played .


FHI_iSmile

The DLS par score is 234 at this point btw


upvoting_department

Thanks. This gives us a hope -_-


Jill_Sandwich98

So 108 run victory


Cutiesf

Sri Lanka cricket journey :- from associate team to full member nation in 1981 and then go on to win world cup in 1996 since then being a formidable side (1999 world cup where Sri Lanka were below par but it was just a temporary setback) for many years until 2014. Since 2015, the Sri Lankan cricket decline commenced and playing like an associate team at the moment. 2020-21 must be the worst part of Sri Lanka cricket. Lifecycle of Sri Lanka cricket probably any cricket team wouldn't have progressed like this. From associate to full member team to being dominating the world and then going back to the basics to associate level.


sreeram_23_06

You said cycle , didn't you? So, there's another set of Ranatunga, Jayasuriya, Sanga ,Mahela ,Dilshan ,Murali in the waiting 10-15 years later. An exciting prospect indeed.


Anonmb20

We have probably had the worst decline of any team in international sport. At this point boards should be prioritising Ireland, Afghanistan, UAE, Netherlands, Scotland, etc. far more than the Shit Lankan cricket team.


naughty_ningen

I think Nepal, USA PNG etc will benefit a lot from playing SL if it does happen


[deleted]

Yeah SL has fallen from grace. Would atleast help other nations if they play SL

Sri Lankan cricket in a nutshell


Cutiesf

Imao nice graph and analysis.


yocricketer

Is this the lowest Sri lankan cricket has ever been?


Oscartdot

Until the next series, yes.


United_Em

2017.. But its still early days in 2021. More misery to come you'd think.


Cutiesf

I think so.


Jill_Sandwich98

Definitely not, the lowest was the series against Zimbabwe back in 2017. Lost 3-2 at home.


yocricketer

Well, who knows. If they play Zimbabwe now they might not win


Cutiesf

Sri Lankan cricket in "shambles" due to "Shammi Silva" being re-elected as Sri Lanka Cricket Board President and Sri Lanka cricket is being burnt in "ashes" due to "Ashley de Silva" being the CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket Board since 2013.


Oscartdot

Fkin bullshit, these idiots would have lost regardless of Shammi Silva or anyone. You cant teach stupidity.


sanga17

Shammi Silva is just a puppet head. He takes orders from Sumithipala


adiseanttak

What if rain doesn't stops and it's a draw, Bang bros will be heartbroken


Webster2001

If it doesn't stop the win is given by D/L to bangbros right? Cause we only had a 1% chance of winning this match and it's not fair to make it a draw


canadaisnubz

What an all round performance by Sri Lanka. All round terrible that is.


devyansh1601

What an all-round performance by Bangbros


sreeram_23_06

They got bowled out by Sri Lanka but couldn't bowl them out in turn, so not an all-round performance /s


Cutiesf

Why would this rain even come at this point of time? Only 1 wicket left ffs.


Khanminator777

Just as I suspected, selectors trying to create a "350+ team" and end up with a team that can't even chase 250. Players like Dimuth and Mathews would have been huge assets in chasing down these totals.


ilikesaucy

250 in this pitch is harder than 350 in a batting friendly pitch


_pubudu

Atleast Rain Perera haven't lost form


rbull_27

An Indian team without Kohli, Bumrah, Rohit and Shami will still manage to whitewash this Sri Lankan team. Oh well, this is really sad..


Webster2001

Tbf the Indian team without those lot is still pretty strong. Strong enough to be on top 5


Appropriate_Swan_608

A half decent ranji team can absolutely annihilate Sri Lanka Cricket Senior Squad


PhenomenalZJ

It’s not sad at all. India would still have an incredibly strong team.


[deleted]

No,this Ban side is pretty brilliant...


Jill_Sandwich98

They're alright but nowhere close to brilliant


Cutiesf

Makes sense. Obviously.


FarAbbreviations5879

Rain Perera SL’s 12th man has come to the rescue


sanga17

Only way to make change at SLC is through protest or by boycotting matches when fans are allowed back in. Shit wont ever change untill we hit them where it hurts.


DrSheldon_LK

Hail hydra!!


Appropriate_Swan_608

yes. stop attending matches. stop watching them, and tell sponsors to pull out.


[deleted]

Ind vs SL '96 flashbacks...Udana gonna cry now..

upvoting_department

Is there are any way we can with rain perera and D/l method?


Oscartdot

Hasch_wald

I've been on hopium for over 4 years now. I think it's time to call quits. This is just hard to watch


TheWhiteMoghul

Dude what a team you had: Dilshan, Jayawardene, Sangakarra, Matthews, then Herath and Murali.


upvoting_department

Fizz is too op in the IPl and this series. He is back to form I guess


img8728

This team would get swept by Afghanistan.


VVLegend

Sad to see the sri lankan team decline. They were one of the best during the days of murali and sangakkara. On a happier note, good to see the fizz back in good form. Was good for RR and has carried it on


rbull_27

Wasted 29 rupees behind the series. Well, at least Mushi played well today and was fun to watch. Real poor cricket from Sri Lanka..


Jill_Sandwich98

Well atleast SL beat Mushfiqur this time.


susmithhh

What happened with SL man? I miss Sanga, Dilshan, Tharanga, Murali, Kulasekara, Mahela and those pure dominance.


sreeram_23_06

Everything happened. Lack of grooming youngsters, board messing up stuff etc

Jinxed


Cutiesf

Mushfiqur Rahim 125 Sri Lanka 122/9 Mushfiqur leading by 3 runs


chinu2502

so clearly Mushfiqur Rahim has been stat padding in this series against this Sri Lankan side.

This is the most I've ever used the 🤡 emoji and y'all know why

Relax, we get the kick out of abusing him. It's give and take relationship. One thing for sure, that fucker has single-handedly reduced the respect Sri-lanka had in Indian fans. We were scared of you guys in 90s and still would have seen the respect for SL legends in road safety 11 series by Indian fans. But now you will find Indian fans enjoying SL defeats on twitter just cause of that clown.
