Sri Lanka Should Recall Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera Again for the Team

 Sri Lankan Cricket Team is now showing very poor all-round performance against the Australian Cricket Team. They all out 118 in the second t20 game yesterday. Australian bowlers controlled Sri Lankan batsmen from the beginning. But Sri Lankan batsman had no answer against Mitchell Stainlake and Pat Cummings. Adam Zampa and Agar controlled very well in the middle overs.

Kusal Mendis once again showed some poor batting performances and who ran out for only 1 run. Danushaka Gunathilake tried hard to hit bit shots. But he also out for 21 runs. Avishka Fernando who was replaced for Bhanuka Rajapaksha scored 17 runs. Kusal Perera was started well and scored a quick 27. But he also panicked against Australian Spinners. Both Dasun Shanaka and Niroshan Dickwella had no answers against bowlers. Finally, Sri Lankan lower-order batsmen took to the 118. This score is not enough for powerful Australian batting line up.

Sri Lankan bowlers had to deliver some magical deliveries to win the match. But bowlers struggled against Smith and Warner. Both batsmen were scored half-centuries and won the match very easily. The inexperience showed by all the young Sri Lankan players and they need to rethink who are the best batsman against Australian fast bowlers.

Sri Lanka should recall Angelo Mathews once again with Thisara Perera. Dasun Shanaka should replace by Thisara and Wanidu Hasarnga will replace by Dhananjaya de Silva in the t20 world cup. I hope Sri Lanka will play better in the final t20 match at Melbourne on Friday.

Sri Lanka is Looking for Rajitha out and Udana back

The first t20 match between Australia and Sri Lanka ended with giving mammoth 134 run win to Australia. All the Sri Lankan bowlers struggled against Warner, Finch, and Maxwell. Nuwan Pradeep was the only successful bowler who delivered his four overs for 28 runs.

Kasun Rajitha went expensive and who gave 75 runs within his 4 overs. Sri Lanka is now looking to remove Rajitha and bring Udana back to the team. Sometimes they will remove Wanidu Hasaranga for Shehan Jayasuriya. The openers will be Kusal Mendis with Danushka Gunathilake.

This game will be more important for Kusal Perera also. He need to get his form back otherwise he will replace by Niroshan Dickwella.

Austalia comes to this game with one change. They will be eliminated Mitchell Starc for his personnel problem.

Sri Lanka further expects to strengthen their batting line up with Udana’s Come back. Udana can hit long shots and he is a useful allrounder. They will expect to bat first in Gabba Wicket. This game will be in Brisbane.

Sri Lanka Tour of Austarlia 2019 T20 Series – 1st Match Review

The first t20 match between Australia vs Sri Lanka was won by the Australian cricket team. That was a pretty easy game for them and they played really amazing cricket today. Sri Lanka will surely upset their performance today. They need a lot of improvements for the next game. Austalia batted first and scored mammoth 234 runs to their scorecard. Sri Lanka failed to chase down it and they only scored 99 runs for their score. The Game was held at Manuka Oval cricket ground in Adelaide.

David Warner played a brilliant inning on his birthday and who scored 100 for his nation. Aaron Finch scored a quick fifty and who built a hundred run partnership with warner for the first wicket. After Finch departs, Glenn Maxwell joined to party and who scored quick 62 with some amazing cricket shots. Sri Lankan bowlers failed to control Aussie batsmen and they delivered some poor deliveries to get runs for Australians. Only Nuwan Pradeep delivered some good bowling spell and others were failed to stop Warner, Finch and Maxwell. Lakshan Sandakan and Dasun Shanaka was the only wicket-takers among Sri Lankan bowlers. Kasun Rajitha was the poorest bowler among them and who gave 75 runs within his 4 overs. Lasith Malinga also showed some poor skills in bowling. Sri Lanka now has a doubt about Malinga's captaincy.

Sri Lanka batsmen were all struggled when facing Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummings. Starc Delivered some amazing delivery to stop Kusal Perera’s inning. Kusal Medis pulled the bowl without much thinking and then it became a catch. Danushka Gunathilaka and Bhanuka Rajapaksha were trapped by Pat Cummings. Oshada Fernando also struggled against Aussie bowlers and who only scored 13 runs from 20 bowls. Dasun Shanaka was the leading runs scorer for Sri Lanka and who scored 17 runs with a massive six. Every Sri Lanka batsman was struggled to get going. They showed some child cricket today. This less experienced side needs more experience to face strong teams like Austalia.

We hope Sri Lanka will rest Kasun Rajitha in the next game and they will recall Isuru Udana to show his skills. Udana is a t20 specialist and Sri Lanka feels his loss very tightly. Sometimes they will rest Wanidu Hasaranga in the next game and they can recall Shehan Jayasuriya to the squad. However, this is a huge challenge for young Sri Lankan side and they have to learn lot.

Sri Lanka should come back both Thisara Perera and Angelo Mathews if these young players struggled. Those two cricketers have a lot of experience in playing Australian conditions. Let’s see what will happen in the next t20 game.
