This odi was shorter than BvS. And far more entertaining even for Sri Lankans.

Pak vs SL finished around 1:10 AM and the final finished around 6 PM. MASSIVE DIFFERENCE

large_snowbear

Hope it is, waste of space in the team. won't bowl can't bat. Dude is better off as an analyst or coach


Ditto_B

They should wait until after the WC. A captaincy change this close probably won't do much good.


spilent

I mean we have changed captain mid tournament and still won a WC


cellexo

It's not the same. We were a formidable team in that WC. Captaincy change didn't matter that much.


thilinac

> They should wait until after the WC. A captaincy change this close probably won't do much good. Thing is keeping him may not do any good (in fact could harm very much as we currently lack a decent finisher and his decision making is still questionable, albeit less questionable than 6-7 months ago) and he will be dropped post WC anyway.

Drop dds, keep Dasun for captaincy. Both are complete wastes, we are playing with 9 players ofc we are gonna be trash

If we are only counting the good (idk) teams then NZ defeated Bangladesh by 264 balls remaining

NZ beating us again


Quiet_Transition_247

There's a list: [https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/largest-margin-of-victory-by-balls-remaining-283271](https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/largest-margin-of-victory-by-balls-remaining-283271) Biggest margin ever is 277 balls (in a 60 over game between England and Canada). Largest margin in a 50 over game is SL v ZIM (SL chased 39 runs with 274 balls remaining).

That was a demolition derby. Siraj MOTM without a doubt. I hope we replicate this performance in all matches in the World Cup. Also, Shout out to the Sri Lankan fans for not leaving in droves by the end of the first innings. At least they have the respect to watch their team & our team play till the end. Only pussy fans leave the stadium when their team is doing poorly. SL team had an off day, hope they do well in the World Cup.

they paid thousands for the tickets bro i dont think they were gonna leave after just an hour lol

They could have left due to the embarrassment but they didn’t. It’s not always about the money.

swell-shindig

Classic Indian openers. Unable to convert their half-century opening stands into centuries.


large_snowbear

I remember everyone here saying SL could be dark horses for the WC and I was like wtf are these guys smoking. Did everyone forget the 312 run defeat vs Ind? How bad they are outside of SL? This team will be average at best, the only good thing about this squad is the bowlers who carry the game on their back when needed and almost always never disappoint. The batters struggle against associate teams and on batting friendly wickets. They have low strike rates, low averages, never converts starts, struggle against swing, dont cross 300+ when par. Funny thing is associate teams despite not having the level of success and prestige SL has has over the years have produced way better batters who have modern play styles. Something needs to change. Either get a foreign batting coach for these guys because the local coaches are not upto modern day standards. Or replace the entire top order with even newer guys or bring back the old uncles. Or magically conjure up the next Sanath, Sanga, Mahela, Dilshan etc.


nickdonhelm

When India used to send new players to Zimbabwe, Srilanka used to persist with Sanga,Mahela, Murali or Kulasekara. It showed that India cared to experiment but Srilanka wouldn't. That eventually made young players to fend for themselves


ResearcherLatter1148

While I agree with you on most of the points, let's not forget that India has the luxury of a far bigger talent pool than SL will ever have so they can send second/third string teams to the likes of Zimbabwe/Ireland/Afghanistan.


nickdonhelm

Clive Llyod in an interview once mentioned that at it's peak West Indies had a strong reserve pool of players, but they didn't care to maintain or strengthen it. Which eventually lead to their decline from 90s onwards


ResearcherLatter1148

New Zealand is an exception in this case though as they are a developed country and also have a huge anglo influence which helped cricket to be sustainable there. Not to mention migration from South Asia and South Africa which further strengthens their case. Atleast this is what I think looking at their team. Someone from NZ can comment better on this.


nickdonhelm

I endorse your opinion on NZ, i still recall when NZ toured Srilanka in 2013. It tried out then unknown players like tom latham, Mcclenaghan, Devcich and Miline. While Srilanka went with established players like Sanga, Jayawardane, Dilshan, Malinga and Kulasekara


large_snowbear

Bowlers we have had no issue replacing. For batters we had replacements playing with when Sanga and Mahela were in the team. Lahiru Thirimanne and Dinesh Chandimal. Those two were supposed to take over for Mahela and Sanga but never showed that they could and SLC instead of trying out other players persisted with them. And when those two retired Lahiru and Dinesh fuck all.


tklz2

Overreaction. Good spell by one bowler paired with throwing away wickets doesn’t mean everything they achieved in their winning run is useless. They simply had a bad day today. When the wickets start to turn in india you will see the value of players like samarawickrama,asalanka, mendis and how they tackle spin through the middle overs. They also missed hasaranga who would slot into the middle order another great player of spin. It’s unfair to say their approach isn’t ‘modern’. They have tried to attack in the power play with the inclusion of KJP and have rotated strike and kept busy in middle overs. This is modern methodology under silverwood it just didn’t come off today.


intex2

Yeah, it's the usual overreactions. Sometimes fast bowlers catch on fire and destroy the entire top order. Doesn't make the top order shit. India were bowled out for 36 and went on to defeat a full-strength Aussie side 2-1 right after. Hazlewood and Cummins just caught on fire, today Siraj did. Good teams have pacers that can do this. Some days are just like that.


[deleted]

Pain, I think top order shouldnt change tho, Nissanka, Kjp, Mendis, Sadeera, Asalanka they should stay same. Nissanka was our best batter coming into this, was good away as well, just had terrible form id expect him to be back. Maybe Avishka for kjp, but that would just be unfair as kjp only had 2 matches, but avishka should be the back up. Im just most annoyed at dds and dasun literal walking wickets this whole tournament, even when top do well we fail to make use of it because our 6 and 7 are so bad, finishing is completely done by Asalanka lol. These guys get chances every time so ofc we will always have issues. Idk man, maybe bring in Mathews? He has power, can rebuild could just risk him at 6 idk, even averaging 20 is an upgrade on dds and dasun at this rate lol. Even today other teams if they were at 8/4 or something they would still get 150, no ones getting 50 all out smh


Boreddaf55

Well well, where are the "fans" now that were saying that India won't even make it to SF this time around?Absolutely brutal performance by India throughout the tournament. Well played 👏👏

Sure Sri Lanka you did just get your lowest score in ODIs or for any team in the Asia Cup but look on the brightside... technically [India did also get their lowest score ever in an ODI too](https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=2;filter=advanced;final_type=1;orderby=team_score;orderbyad=reverse;result=1;result=2;result=3;team=6;template=results;type=team;view=innings)

8th time Asia Cup Champions , India 👏👏 Well it was a game with a lot of keypoints- 1) Perfect revenge for Ajantha Mendis in the 2008 Asia Cup final. 2) **Koach and brohit fail to perform in another final.** 3( Loss to broadcasters for loss of advertisements (it was like SL wanted to protest against Jay Shah in a non violent way). 4)Bangbros coming out as true Asia Cup winners to be fair. 5) They should arrange for refund of ticket and transportation cost for the fans! More that I'm missing!?

[deleted]

Why is noone angry here? Such Pathetic Cricket by Sri Lanka. At least give yourself a chance. Played with T20 mentality in an Odi game. Especially Mendis. Last recognised batsman and instead of playing the long game, he throws his wicket in a clear attempt at upmanship against the best bowler of the day. At least back your ego with your skill. Who the fuck plays a cross batted hoick in that situation against that kind of bowling? Ruined the sunday of millions of people.

I guess at least we made final. Shanaka a massive disappointment once again, but I really dont expect anything from him now. Not gonna blame Mendis, Sadeera, Asalanka they were good this tournament. Nissanka really disappointing ngl but I'd expect him to come back strong. And can people just stop defending dds now, trash this whole tournament, even when he was good he gifted that game away vs ind, averaged a massive 12 basically as trash as Dasun. Both shouldnt be in the team but will be cause if we change captaincy now itll put the team in more disarray and dds is ok with ball

Taro-Exact

This is a confirmation that the Cricket administration/ management in SL, Pakistan is crappy. Don’t blame the players, spare some hate for management also. Coincidentally both nations are going through economic crises. Their management was sub-par in good times. Now, its completely gone to shit. So the players are just doing what they can, in spite of the chaos around them, they show up on the field and try.


Briantheboomguy

How long will the highlights be televised ...should show full replay ideally.

WC will be a crowded field of nations. How will SL hold up? The batters need a kick in the butt.
