1st ODI Match Sri Lanka Cricket Team vs New Zealand Cricket Team. In today's match, the New Zealand cricket team batted in the first innings and set a target of 275 runs to the Sri Lankan cricket team. The Sri Lankan cricket team went into bat in the second innings and the Sri Lankan cricket team is in a wicket crisis. Unexpected batting by Sri Lankan cricket team. Lankan batsmen can't stand straight in front of New Zealand bowlers. Very weak Sri Lankan cricket team batting. Sri Lanka have lost 5 wickets and scored only 35 runs in 11 overs so far, looking at the game it is easy to imagine that the Sri Lankan team is going to lose by a huge margin against New Zealand.
In the first ODI of the Sri Lankan team ended with only 76 runs against 274 and they had to accept the defeat by a big margin. Continuous fall of wickets was a major problem for the Sri Lankan team from the start and it continued till the end of the match. It will be very difficult to fight against the New Zealand team with such a performance. However, such a situation is not often seen in Sri Lankan cricket. They may try in the next match but it will be difficult for them to overcome from this situation.
It was a completely unexpected result that Sri Lanka would face such a batting disaster. The pitch was batting-friendly. So no New Zealand batsman could stay at the crease for long. But the performance of almost every New Zealand batsman was quite good. 275 runs was not a big target. If Sri Lanka's top order batted responsibly, they would have been able to collect these runs. But their batting was very bad. Angelo Mathews was able to collect maximum of 18 runs for the team.
The Netherlands team set a target of 232 runs in the third match of the series between the Netherlands vs Zimbabwe. Considering the pitch it doesn't collect enough to win. The series is now tied at 1-1. Looks like Zimbabwe will win today. And Zimbabwe is going to win the series too.
