A Step Forward for Lanka Cricket, and One Backward Stride for India

Green Shoots of Hope for Sri Lanka, Signs of Rust for India

In a thrilling series, Sri Lanka's young and inexperienced cricket team achieved a milestone victory against India, marking their first bilateral ODI series win over their formidable neighbors in 27 years. The architect of this triumph, Dunith Wellalage, was not even born the last time Sri Lanka defeated India in such a series. Alongside four other teammates who share the same distinction, Wellalage’s remarkable 5/27 performance was pivotal in routing India for just 138 runs in 26.1 overs, securing a 110-run win in the third ODI and clinching the series 2-0.

A Rare Triumph Against the Odds

Despite lacking several key players due to injuries, Sri Lanka showcased resilience and skill that even legends like Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara couldn’t muster in their illustrious careers. The young team, led by their batters' spirited effort, capitalized on India's vulnerabilities and executed their plans to perfection.

India's Painful Outing

The Premadasa Stadium witnessed India’s batting unit crumbling under pressure for the third time in a week. Unlike the first two ODIs, the third match offered less turn, yet India’s experienced lineup faltered early. Chasing 249 to level the series, India’s chase never gained control. From the onset, their plan was to maximize the hard new ball before the spinners took charge. However, Sri Lanka introduced Maheesh Theekshana in the first powerplay, and when he made no impact, they turned to Wellalage.

Wellalage's Left-Arm Spin Masterclass

In a brief but impactful spell, Wellalage achieved what no other left-arm spinner had done before against India – taking two five-wicket hauls in an ODI. His list of scalps included key players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Axar Patel, and Shreyas Iyer, all falling within seven deliveries. Rohit’s expansive sweep, Kohli’s misjudgment of an arm-ball, Axar’s miscalculated back-foot defense, and Shreyas’s misread turn left India reeling.

India’s Batting Collapse

With Theekshana dismissing Rishabh Pant, India found themselves six down before the first drinks break. Washington Sundar, coming in at No. 9, managed to push India past the three-figure mark, but the damage was already done. The team that had reached the World Cup finals less than a year ago seemed a shadow of its former self, struggling against spin.

Rohit Sharma’s Reflections

Post-match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma downplayed the concerns about facing spin but acknowledged the need for better game plans. “I don’t think it’s a concern, but it’s something we need to look at seriously. We need to go back and review our strategies for conditions like these. Losing the series is not the end of the world, but we have to address these issues,” Rohit said.

Sri Lanka’s Strong Start

Earlier in the game, Avishka Fernando and Pathum Nissanka set a solid foundation with an 89-run opening partnership. Despite Nissanka’s dismissal for 45, Fernando continued to build with Kusal Mendis, putting Sri Lanka in a strong position. Fernando’s dismissal for 96 off debutant Riyan Parag triggered a collapse, but Sri Lanka managed to post the highest total of the series, 270, aided by India’s lone pacer Mohammed Siraj’s expensive spell.

Conclusion

Sri Lanka’s triumph over India marks a significant step forward for their cricket team, showcasing their potential and resilience. On the other hand, India’s struggles highlight the need for introspection and adaptation as they prepare for future challenges. This series has undoubtedly set the stage for exciting cricketing encounters ahead.

Vandersay's six-wicket haul secures Sri Lanka's first ODI victory over India in three years. On a pitch that offered significant grip and turn, India, chasing 241, faltered from a solid start at 97 for 0 to a dramatic 147 for 6, with Vandersay dismantling the top order. Sri Lanka, having posted 240 for 9 (Avishka Fernando 40, Kamindu Mendis 40; Washington Sundar 3-30, Kuldeep Yadav 2-33), defeated India, who were all out for 208 (Rohit Sharma 64, Axar Patel 44; Vandersay 6-33, Charith Asalanka 3-20), by 32 runs.

Sri Lanka Announces Squad for Zimbabwe ODIs: Kusal Mendis to Lead

In the latest Cricket news, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has unveiled its final squad for the upcoming One-Day International (ODI) series against Zimbabwe, with Kusal Mendis taking on the role of captain. The squad, which blends experienced campaigners with emerging talents, aims to kickstart the New Year on a positive note after a challenging 2023.

The batting lineup features the likes of Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, and Sahan Arachchige, offering a blend of solidity and flair. These batsmen will be crucial in setting up competitive totals and providing stability to the team's innings. With this batting lineup, the match prediction will be in favor of the Sri Lankan team. 

Breaking Cricket News In the bowling department, Sri Lanka will rely on the pace of Dushmantha Chameera and the spin prowess of Akila Dhananjaya, complemented by the promising talents of Jeffrey Vandersay, Dunith Wellalage, Pramod Madushan, and Maheesh Theekshana. This balanced bowling attack aims to exploit the conditions and trouble the Zimbabwean batsmen throughout the series.

However, the squad's depth will be tested with the absence of Wanindu Hasaranga due to fitness concerns. Nevertheless, the inclusion of Dilshan Madushanka, Nuwanindu Fernando, and Janith Liyanage provides additional options, ensuring a well-rounded squad for the series.

Off the field, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is undergoing significant reforms following a recent suspension from the International Cricket Council (ICC) due to political interference. The suspension prompted a swift response from President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who removed the responsible officials and reinstated the elected administration led by Shammi Silva. Additionally, plans are underway to draft a contemporary sports law to address governance issues and prevent external interference in the cricket board.

As Sri Lanka prepares to host Zimbabwe for the ODI series, all eyes will be on Kusal Mendis and his team as they aim to start the year with a statement performance, setting the stage for a successful 2024 campaign.
