Can the Sri Lankan team qualify for the Super 12?

Published

on

The Sri Lankan team still has the possibility of entering the Super 12 round. It is with the result of the decisive match against the Netherlands team that will be held tomorrow.

The Netherlands, Namibia and Sri Lanka still have a chance to make it to the Super-12 from Group A. Tomorrow will not be a day of decisive matches. Sri Lanka has to win the first match between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands by a big margin. The second match will be between the Namibia team and the United Arab Emirates and it is also a crucial match for the Namibia team. In order for them to be selected for the Super 12 round, they must win by a big margin.

Sri Lanka – 2 points, NRR +0.6
Sri Lanka was expected to make it to the Super 12 round with ease, but a 55-run loss to Namibia in the tournament opener made qualifying for the Super 12 a bit complicated. However, the Sri Lankan team came back into the tournament very strong and the situation was somewhat restored with a 79-run victory over the United Arab Emirates.

The Sri Lankan team must definitely beat the Netherlands. If they do, Namibia vs UAE result won’t matter to them because of their strong NRR. And if the remaining two matches of Group A end without results due to rain or any other reason, Sri Lanka will not be able to enter the next round.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායමට සුපිරි 12 වටයට පිවිසිය හැකිද?

ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායමට තව දුරතත් සුපිරි 12 වටයට පිවිසීමේ හැකියාව පවතී. ඒ හෙට දින පැවැත්වෙන නෙදර්ලන්තය කණ්ඩායම හා පැවැත්වෙන තීරණාත්මක තරගයේ ප්‍රතිඵලයත් සමගය.

නෙදර්ලන්තය, නැමීබියාව සහ ශ්‍රී ලංකාව A කාණ්ඩයෙන් සුපිරි-12 බවට පත්වීමේ අවස්ථාව තවමත් පවතී. හෙට දින තීරණාත්මක තරග පැවැත්වෙන දිනයක් නොවනුමානය. ශ්‍රී ලංකාව සහ නෙදර්ලන්තය අතර පැවැත්වෙන පළමු තරගය විශාල තරග පරතරයකින් ජය ගැනීමට ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට සිදු වේ. දෙවන තරගය නැමීබියා කණ්ඩායම හා එක්සත් අරාබි එමීර් රාජ්‍යය අතර පැවැත්වෙන අතර එයද නැමීබියා කණ්ඩායමට තීරණාත්මක තරගක් වේ. ඔවුන් හටද සුපිරි 12 වටයට තේරී පත්වීමට නම් විශාල තරග පරතරයකින් ජය ගැනීම අනිවාර්යයෙන්ම කල යුතුය.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාව – ලකුණු 2ක්, NRR +0.6
ශ්‍රී ලංකාව ඉතා පහසුවෙන් සුපිරි 12 වටයට පිවිසෙනු ඇතැයි අපේක්ෂා කරන ලද නමුත් තරඟාවලියේ ආරම්භක තරඟයේදී නැමීබියාවට ලකුණු 55 කින් පරාජය වීම සුපිරි 12 වටයට තේරීම තරමක් සංකීර්ණ කිරීමට හේතු විය. කෙසේ වෙතත්, ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායම නැවතත් ඉතා ශක්තිමත් ලෙස තරගාවලියට අවතීර්ණය වූ අතර එක්සත් අරාබි එමීර් රාජ්‍යයට එරෙහිව ලකුණු 79ක ජයග්‍රහණයක් සමඟින් තත්වය තරමක් දුරට යථා තත්ත්වයට පත් විය.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායම අනිවාර්යයෙන්ම නෙදර්ලන්තය පරාජය කළ යුතුයි. ඔවුන් එසේ කරන්නේ නම්, ඔවුන්ගේ ශක්තිමත් NRR නිසා Namibia vs UAE ප්‍රතිඵලය ඔවුන්ට වැදගත් නොවේ. තවද වර්ශාව හෝ වෙනත් හේතුවක් මත A කාණ්ඩයේ ඉතිරි තරග දෙක ප්‍රතිඵලයකින් තොරව අවසන් වුවහොත් ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට මීළඟ වටයට පිවිසීමට නොහැකි වනු ඇත.

இலங்கை அணி சூப்பர் 12 சுற்றுக்குள் நுழைய முடியுமா?

சுப்பர் 12 சுற்றுக்குள் நுழையும் வாய்ப்பு இலங்கை அணிக்கு இன்னும் உள்ளது. நாளை நடைபெறவுள்ள நெதர்லாந்து அணிக்கு எதிரான தீர்க்கமான போட்டியின் முடிவுடன்.

குரூப் ஏ பிரிவில் இருந்து சூப்பர்-12க்கு முன்னேற நெதர்லாந்து, நமீபியா மற்றும் இலங்கைக்கு இன்னும் வாய்ப்பு உள்ளது. நாளை என்பது தீர்க்கமான போட்டிகளின் நாளாக இருக்காது. இலங்கை மற்றும் நெதர்லாந்து அணிகளுக்கு இடையிலான முதல் போட்டியில் இலங்கை அணி அபார வெற்றிபெற வேண்டும். இரண்டாவது போட்டி நமீபியா அணிக்கும் ஐக்கிய அரபு எமிரேட்ஸ் அணிக்கும் இடையில் நடைபெறவுள்ளதோடு, நமீபியா அணிக்கு இது முக்கியமான போட்டியாகவும் அமைந்துள்ளது. அவர்கள் சூப்பர் 12 சுற்றுக்கு தேர்வு செய்யப்படுவதற்கு, அவர்கள் அதிக வித்தியாசத்தில் வெற்றி பெற வேண்டும்.

இலங்கை – 2 புள்ளிகள், NRR +0.6
இலங்கை சுப்பர் 12 சுற்றுக்கு எளிதாக நுழையும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்பட்டது, ஆனால் போட்டியின் தொடக்க ஆட்டத்தில் நமீபியாவிடம் 55 ரன்கள் வித்தியாசத்தில் தோல்வியடைந்தது சூப்பர் 12 க்கு தகுதி பெறுவது சற்று சிக்கலானது. எவ்வாறாயினும், இலங்கை அணி மிகவும் வலுவாக மீண்டும் போட்டிக்கு வந்ததுடன் ஐக்கிய அரபு இராச்சியத்தை 79 ஓட்டங்களால் வெற்றியீட்டியதன் மூலம் நிலைமை ஓரளவு மீண்டது.

இலங்கை அணி கண்டிப்பாக நெதர்லாந்தை வீழ்த்த வேண்டும். அவர்கள் அவ்வாறு செய்தால், அவர்களின் வலுவான NRR காரணமாக நமீபியா vs UAE முடிவு அவர்களுக்கு முக்கியமில்லை. மேலும் A குழுவின் எஞ்சிய இரண்டு போட்டிகள் மழை அல்லது வேறு ஏதேனும் காரணங்களால் முடிவு இல்லாமல் முடிவடைந்தால், இலங்கை அடுத்த சுற்றுக்குள் நுழைய முடியாது.

Published

By

Sri Lanka Rugby has confirmed the appointment of former France international and seasoned rugby sevens coach Thierry Janeczek on a six-month contract to lead the national sevens team in preparation for the Asian Games in Aichi, Nagoya later this year.

Janeczek, who arrives in Colombo on March 20, will observe the two legs of the BogoLiv Union Pay International SLR Sevens Series before returning in April to formally begin his coaching programme. His initial contract runs for six months, with the possibility of extension based on the team’s performance at the Asian Games.

At 66, Janeczek brings decades of experience to the role. A former flanker with three caps for France, he made his mark in the sevens format, representing his country at the Rugby World Cup Sevens in 1993. He later coached the French national sevens team from 1996 to 2010, guiding them through more than 100 international tournaments and securing notable victories, including France’s first-ever international final win at the Paris Sevens in 2005.
His coaching résumé includes developing over 50 international players, training more than 100 certified coaches, and achieving Olympic success by leading France’s U18 team to gold at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China.

Inquiry Launched Over Bloomfield’s Controversial Declaration

Published

By

Sri Lanka Cricket has moved swiftly to launch an inquiry into Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club’s declaration during their Major Super Eight encounter against Moors Sports Club at Colts Grounds. The decision, which has been branded “unsporty” by critics, saw Bloomfield declare at 239 for 6 despite trailing on first innings, leaving Moors a modest chase of 147 runs. Moors completed the task comfortably, winning by four wickets in just 33 overs and reclaiming their place at the top of the table.

The declaration has raised serious questions about the spirit of competition, prompting SLC to summon captains, coaches, managers, and players from both sides for an official hearing this evening. At the heart of the probe lies a crucial issue: was Bloomfield’s move a bold tactical gamble or a breach of cricketing integrity?

With domestic cricket’s credibility now under the spotlight, the outcome of this inquiry could have significant consequences for the game in Sri Lanka, setting a precedent for how declarations and match strategies are judged in the future.
