What happened in the first match, who became the villain between India and Sri Lanka?
Rohit and Virat return after T20 World Cup, the same Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul also appeared in Team India’s jersey after IPL.
If India had won this match, it would have been the 100th win for India against Sri Lanka in ODIs. Captain Rohit and Virat were returning to the team after winning the T20 World Cup, along with KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer were also returning for India after the IPL. India had a target of 231 runs. This score looked easy for the Indian team.
Captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill came to bat for India to chase 231 runs. Both gave India a good start, Rohit Sharma expressed his attitude and completed 50 runs in an aggressive style. India used the power play well and did not lose a single wicket. The way Rohit Sharma was batting, the pressure on Sri Lanka was increasing. Looking at Rohit’s batting, this match seemed to be in India’s grip. For the 13th over, the Sri Lankan captain called D. wellalage to bowl. Wellalage, who did well in batting, did not disappoint the captain, took the wicket of Shubhaman Gill on the fourth ball of the over. India got the first blow on 75 runs. After Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli came to bat, and he started chasing the score with Rohit. But Rohit Sharma also became a victim of Wellalage in the 15th over. Rohit Sharma scored 58 in 47 balls with the help of 7 fours and 3 skyscraper sixes.
Washington Sundar, who came out to bat at number four for India, could not do anything special and scored 5 runs and was dismissed by Akila Dhanandjaya. India lost 3 wickets quickly. And India’s score was 3 wickets for 87 runs. To some extent, Sri Lankan bowlers started making a comeback. But chess master Virat Kohli was present on Chris and Shreyas Iyer also came to support him. Both of them extended the innings to some extent but in the 24th over, Virat Kohli was trapped in Wanindu Hasaranga’s spin and was out LBW after scoring 24 runs in 32 balls. In the next over, Shreyas Iyer also became bold on A. Fernando’s ball. At one time India’s first wicket fell to 75 runs. By the time they reached the score of 132 runs, half the Indian team returned to the pavilion, with Virat and Shreyas wickets, the doors of victory were opened like Sri Lanka.
The Indian team was now under pressure. But for India, KL Rahul and Akshar Patel kept the innings alive to some extent. Together they shared a 57-run partnership. And again, the match seemed to be drawn towards India. But how is that a match, in which there is no twist? In the 40th over of the innings, Hasaranga dismissed KL Rahul. And in the 41st over, Sri Lankan team captain Charith Asalanka took the wicket of Akshar Patel. And filled the thrill again in the match. The Indian team is under pressure again. And in the 45th over, Kuldeep Yadav lost another wicket. India lost 8 wickets for 211 runs. Now Shivam Dubey and Mohammed Siraj were present on Chris. India needed 20 runs in 33 balls to win. Only 2 wickets were left. Shivam Dubey equaled the score while handling the match. Now it seemed that India would win the match. And SriLankan team will be given the 100th defeat of the ODI. India needed just 1 run to win and Dubey was present on strike. But then Sri Lankan captain C. Asalanka came as a villain between India and victory. He dismissed Dubey LBW on the 4th ball of the 48th over of the innings and also got Arshdeep Singh out LBW on the next ball. And the Indian team was all out for 230 runs. And took the match from India’s mouth. Sri Lankan all-rounder D. Wellalage, who did wonders with bat and ball in this match, was awarded the Player of the Match Award.
If the match was tied, why was there still no super over?
The match between India and Sri Lanka was tied, yet why the super over did not happen, this question must be coming in your mind. Because the last match of the T20 series between India and Sri Lanka was also tied but there was a super over in it and India won in the super over. If it is the case that there is no super over in the ODI format, then in the 2019 World Cup, 2 super overs were played between England and New Zealand in the final. So, there should have been a super over in yesterday’s match too. So let us tell everyone that according to the rules of international cricket, if there is an ODI match tie in any bilateral series in the ODI format, then the super over is not played. The result of that match is a draw.
The 2nd ODI between India and Sri Lanka will be played tomorrow. What will be the playing XI of both the teams for the 2nd ODI, will there be a big change in the team?
After the T20 series between India and Sri Lanka, the ODI series has now started. The first match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka was played on 2 August, in which the batting of the Indian team was seen to be a bit fighting. Due to which India was all out in a low-scoring match and the match ended in a tie. The 2nd ODI between India and Sri Lanka will be played tomorrow. In which the Indian team would like to make a strong comeback and win 100th win against Sri Lanka in ODIs. In the first ODI match, the Indian team gave Washington Sundar a chance as a flutter while experimenting at number four. But he could not see anything special. But in bowling, he can give the Indian team a full 10 overs. And with Shivam Dubey who could not handle the pressure in the last minute in the first ODI and missed out on scoring 1 run and lost his wicket, the Indian team can replace him with wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who will also be a best option at number 4. Sri Lanka would not like to change anything while maintaining the movement that Sri Lanka’s team caught in the last few overs of the last match. In the second ODI, the playing 11 of the Indian team and the Sri Lankan team can look like this.
India predicted playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (UK), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh
Sri Lanka predicted playing XI: Pathun Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (wk), Charith Asalanka (c), Sadeera Samarwickrama, J. Leanage, Dunith Wellalage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Akila Dananjaya, Mohammed Shiraz, Asith Fernando.
