A must-win match today in Kolkata
The second match of the three-match one-day series between the Sri Lankan and the Indian will be held today in Kolkata.
When the Indian team won the T20 series, which consisted of three matches, 2-1, India also won the first one-day match. For the Sri Lankan team to stay longer in the tournament, it is mandatory to win this match.
The stadium where this match will be held is special for Rohit Sharma and it is also the stadium where he scored 264 runs against Sri Lanka. The match will be played at the Eden Gardens Stadium.
In the last match, the bowling of the Sri Lankan team was at a very poor level, and in this match, it is imperative that they enter the field after correcting the shortcomings of that match. Fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka, who suffered a shoulder injury in the last match, is uncertain whether to play today, so Lahiru Kumara is largely responsible for that. In that case, Kasun Rajitha and Lahiru Kumara will be given the responsibility of bowling the opening balls.
While Wanindu Hasaranga will be among the wickets, newcomer Dunith Wellalage, who joined the team as an all-rounder, must also return to his usual style of play.
The middle-order batsmen of the Sri Lankan team should play more responsibly, and it is imperative to make a better decision about the opening pair of the team.
The match is scheduled to start at 1.30 Sri Lanka time.
ජය ගත යුතුම තරගයක් අද දින කොල්කටාවේදී
ශ්රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායම හා ඉන්දියානු කණ්ඩායම අතර තරග තුනකින් සමන්විත එක්දින තරගාවලියේ දෙවන තරගය අද දින කොල්කටාවේදී පැවැත්වේ.
තරග තුනකින් සමන්විත වූ විස්සයි විස්ස තරගාවලිය 2-1 ක ලෙස ඉන්දීය කණ්ඩායම ජය ලබා ගනිද්දී, පළමු එක්දින තරගයේ ජයද ඉන්දියාව සතු විය. ශ්රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායමට තරගාවලියේ තව දුරටත් රැදී සිටීමට නම් මෙම තරගය ජයග්රහණය කිරීම අනිවාර්ය වේ.
මෙම තරගය පැවැත්වෙන ක්රීඩාංගනය රෝහිත් ශර්මා හට සුවිශේෂී වන අතර ඒ ශ්රී ලංකාවට එරෙහිව ලකුණු 264 ලබා වාර්ථාවක් තිබීමට සමත් වූ ක්රීඩාංගනයද මෙය වේ. මෙම තරගය ඊඩන් ගාඩන් ක්රීඩා පිටියේදී පැවැත්වේ.
පසුගිය තරගයේ ශ්රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායමේ පන්දු යැවීම ඉතා දුර්වල මට්ටමක පැවති අතර, මෙම තරගයට එම තරගයේ සිදු වූ අඩුපාඩු හරිගස්වා ගෙන පිටියට පිවිසීම අනිවාර්ය වේ. පසුගිය තරගයේදී උරහිසේ ආබාධයකට ගොදුරු වූ වේගපන්දු යවන ක්රීඩක දිල්ෂාන් මදුශංක අද දින ක්රීඩා කිරීම අවිනිශ්චිත තාවයක පවතින් බැවින් බොහෝ දුරට එහි වගකීම ලහිරු කුමාර හට පැවරේ. එසේ උවහොත් ආරම්භක පන්දු යැවීමේ වගකීම කසුන් රාජිත හා ලහිරු කුමාර හට පැවරේ.
වනිදු හසරංග කඩුලු අතරට පැමිණීම අනිවාර්ය වන අතර, තුන් ඉරියව් ක්රීඩකයෙකු ලෙස කණ්ඩායමට එක් වූ නවක ක්රීඩක දුනිත් වෙල්ලාලගේ හටද තමාගේ සුපුරුදු ක්රීඩා රටාවට පැමිණීම සිදු කල යුතුය.
ශ්රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායමේ මැද පෙල පිතිකරුවන් මීට වඩා වගකීම් සහගතව ක්රීඩා කල යුතු අතර, කණ්ඩායමේ ආරම්භක පිතිකරන යුගලය පිලිබදව වඩා හොද තීරණයක් ගැනීම අනිවාර්ය වේ.
තරගය ශ්රී ලංකා වේලාවෙන් 1.30 ආරම්භ වීමට නියමිතව පවතී.
கொல்கத்தாவில் இன்று நடக்கும் ஆட்டத்தில் கட்டாயம் வெற்றி பெற வேண்டும்
இலங்கை அணிக்கும் இந்திய அணிக்கும் இடையிலான மூன்று போட்டிகள் கொண்ட ஒரு நாள் தொடரின் இரண்டாவது போட்டி இன்று கொல்கத்தாவில் நடைபெறவுள்ளது.
மூன்று போட்டிகள் கொண்ட டி20 தொடரை இந்திய அணி 2-1 என கைப்பற்றிய போது, முதல் ஒரு நாள் போட்டியிலும் இந்தியா வெற்றி பெற்றது. இலங்கை அணி அதிக நாட்கள் தொடரில் தொடர இந்த போட்டியில் வெற்றி பெறுவது கட்டாயம்.
இந்தப் போட்டி நடைபெறும் மைதானம் ரோஹித் ஷர்மாவுக்கு சிறப்பு வாய்ந்தது மேலும் இலங்கைக்கு எதிராக 264 ரன்கள் குவித்த மைதானமும் இதுதான். இந்தப் போட்டி ஈடன் கார்டன் மைதானத்தில் நடைபெறவுள்ளது.
கடந்த போட்டியில் இலங்கை அணியின் பந்துவீச்சு மிகவும் மோசமான நிலையில் இருந்ததால், இப்போட்டியில் அந்த போட்டியின் குறைகளை சரி செய்து கொண்டு களம் இறங்குவது கட்டாயம். கடந்த போட்டியில் தோள்பட்டையில் உபாதைக்கு உள்ளான வேகப்பந்து வீச்சாளர் டில்ஷான் மதுஷங்க இன்று விளையாடுவாரா இல்லையா என்பது நிச்சயமற்ற நிலையில் இருப்பதால் அதற்கு லஹிரு குமாரவே பெரிதும் காரணமாக இருந்துள்ளார். அவ்வாறாயின் ஆரம்ப பந்துகளை வீசும் பொறுப்பு கசுன் ராஜித மற்றும் லஹிரு குமார ஆகியோருக்கு வழங்கப்படவுள்ளது.
வனிது ஹசரங்க விக்கெட்டுகளுக்கு மத்தியில் இருக்கும் அதே வேளையில், சகலதுறை ஆட்டக்காரராக அணியில் இணைந்த புதுமுக வீரர் துனித் வெல்லாலகேவும் தனது வழமையான ஆட்ட பாணிக்கு திரும்ப வேண்டும்.
இலங்கை அணியின் மிடில் ஆர்டர் பேட்ஸ்மேன்கள் மிகவும் பொறுப்புடன் விளையாட வேண்டும், மேலும் அணியின் தொடக்க ஜோடி குறித்து சிறந்த முடிவை எடுக்க வேண்டியது அவசியம்.
இப்போட்டி இலங்கை நேரப்படி 1.30க்கு ஆரம்பமாகவுள்ளது.
