Indian captain Shikhar Dhawan, who won the toss, decided to bat first and in the 24th over was underway when the match was stopped due to rain, India lost one wicket and scored 115 runs and was in a strong position. Again in the 36th over match stopped due to rain, the umpires decided to end the Indian innings and at that time the Indian team had scored 225 runs with the loss of 3 wickets. Indian opening batsmen Shubman Gill made 98 not out and Shikhar Dhawan strengthened the Indian innings by scoring 58 runs and in bowling Hayden Walsh managed to take two wickets for 57 runs.

According to the Duckworth-Lewis method, West Indies needed to score 257 runs in 35 overs to win the match.

Mohammed Siraj started his spell very well by dismissing the first two wickets of the West Indians before scoring any runs, who entered the field chasing a target of 257 runs. The Indian team’s bowling unit, which did not stop, demolished the West Indian batting lineup and managed to restrict all the batters for 137 runs in 25 overs. Yuzvendra Chahal took four wickets and Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur took two wickets each. Although Nicholas Pooran and Brandon King scored 42 runs each, it was not enough for the victory.

Shubman Gill, who scored 205 runs with two half-centuries, was awarded the man of the match and tournament.

India snap Sri Lanka winning streak

Published

By

Sri Lanka’s impressive winning streak at the FIBA U-18 Asia Cup SABA Qualifiers came to an end yesterday as they suffered a hard-fought 72-77 defeat against a strong Indian side at the Sugathadasa Stadium.

Coming into the match with two consecutive victories, the hosts displayed tremendous spirit and determination throughout the contest. Sri Lanka made an energetic start and matched the taller and more experienced Indian outfit in every department during the opening stages of the game.

The home team enjoyed an excellent first half and went into the breather with a narrow 43-40 lead after producing some attractive attacking basketball. Sri Lanka’s quick passing, aggressive drives to the basket and accurate shooting kept the Indian defence under constant pressure. The local cagers also showed great discipline in defence, forcing several turnovers and capitalising on fast-break opportunities.

However, India bounced back strongly after halftime with improved defensive work and better control in the final two quarters. Their experience and physical advantage gradually helped them regain momentum as they edged ahead during the decisive stages of the encounter.

Despite trailing in the closing minutes, Sri Lanka continued to fight bravely and reduced the margin with some spirited play. The hosts received strong support from the spectators who gathered at the stadium to cheer the young team.

India eventually held their nerve to secure a five-point victory and remain one of the strongest contenders in the tournament. Although Sri Lanka ended on the losing side, the performance of the young players earned praise for their fighting spirit and determination against a formidable opponent.

Selection Controversy Hits Sri Lanka Ahead of Caribbean Tour

Published

By

Questions have surfaced over the selection of Sri Lanka’s squads for the upcoming tour of the West Indies, after contradictory statements from the country’s former and newly-appointed cricket selection committees sparked fresh controversy.

The dispute centres on who was responsible for finalising the squads for the Test, One Day International and Twenty20 series in the Caribbean.

Newly-appointed selection committee chairman Kapila Wijegunawardene has reportedly maintained that the touring squads were chosen entirely by the previous panel headed by Pramodya Wickramasinghe, insisting that the current committee had no involvement in the process.

Speaking to The Morning Sports, Wijegunawardene stated that his committee only officially assumed duties on May 22 and therefore could not have influenced the selections.
According to him, all squads for the West Indies tour had already been finalised before the new panel took office.

However, former chief selector Wickramasinghe has strongly challenged that account, claiming the new committee altered the squads initially prepared by his panel.

Wickramasinghe alleged that his committee had selected separate squads for each format of the tour, but said the incoming selectors later expanded the player groups and introduced several changes.

Among the disputed decisions, he claimed that the vice-captain originally chosen for the ODI side had subsequently been replaced.

The former selector also raised concerns over certain players included in the final squads, while alleging that external influence from player managers had once again entered Sri Lanka’s national selection process following the appointment of the new committee.

Sri Lanka Under-18 team produced a sensational performance to outclass Bangladesh 132-38 in their opening game of the FIBA Asia Cup Basketball Qualifiers worked off at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium yesterday.

The hosts dominated proceedings from the opening whistle and never allowed Bangladesh any opportunity to settle into the contest. Displaying excellent teamwork, sharp passing and clinical finishing, Sri Lanka completely controlled the game in both attack and defence.

Sri Lanka raced to an early lead with their aggressive style of play and maintained the momentum throughout all four quarters. Their fast breaks and accurate shooting proved too much for the visitors, who struggled to cope with the intensity of the home side.

The Lankan cagers were impressive in defence as well, forcing numerous turnovers and converting them into valuable points. Bangladesh found it difficult to penetrate Sri Lanka’s solid defence and managed only 38 points by the final buzzer.

The emphatic victory gives Sri Lanka a perfect start to the tournament and boosts their confidence ahead of their next encounter.

Sri Lanka will take on Maldives in their second fixture of the tournament at 7.00 p.m. today at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium.
