India won the first match after a thrilling match

Published

on

Sri Lanka was determined to win the opening match, but the bowling of Indian all-rounders and young debutant Shivam Mavi blocked the path to victory for the Sri Lankan team.

Deepak Hooda, Axar Patel and Mavi were the pioneers in taking the Indian team to victory.

Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka, who won the toss, invited the Indian team to bat first. Opener Ishan Kishan scored a total of 17 runs in the first over, including 2 fours, and gave the Indian side a great start. Mahesh Thiekshana managed to take the wicket of the other debutant, Shubman Gill, ending the rivalry of the opening pair of Kishan and Shubman Gill.

From then on, the Sri Lankan players took control of the match for a moment, but the Indian batsmen did not allow them to take it to the end. There, Deepak Hooda managed to score 41 runs unbeaten. At the end of twenty overs, the Indian scoreboard was 162/5.

The Sri Lankan team, which entered the field to play the reply innings, could not get a successful start, and Shivam Mavi managed to send Pathum to the stadium calmly, limiting the opening batting deficit to 12 runs.

The Indian batsmen did not allow the middle-order batsmen to enter the runs, and this time too, a failed middle-order batting pattern was seen. Captain Shanaka and Vanidu Hasaranga were able to swing the game back towards Sri Lanka, which was in India’s grasp, but they failed to carry it to victory. Chamika Karunaratne, who did not give up the victory until the last over of the match, played an excellent batting, but that was not enough for the victory.

In the end, the Sri Lanka scoreboard showed 160 runs with all the players out at the end of the twenty overs. Captain Dasun Shanaka scored 45 points for the Sri Lankan team. At the end of the match, the Indian team won by 2 points.

ඉතා තියුණු තරගයකින් පසු පළමු තරගයේ ජය ඉන්දියාවට

ශ්‍රී ලංකාව ආරම්භක තරගය ජයග්‍රහණය කිරීමට දැඩි අධිෂ්ඨානයෙන් පසුවූ නමුත් ඉන්දීය තුන් ඉරියව් ක්‍රීඩකයන්ගේ සහ තරුණ මංගල ක්‍රීඩක ශිවම් මාවිගේ පන්දු යැවීම හමුවේ ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායමට ජයග්‍රහණයේ මාවත අවහිර විය.

දීපක් හූඩා, අක්සාර් පටෙල් සහ මාවි ඉන්දීය කණ්ඩායම ජයග්‍රහණයේ මාවත වෙත රැගෙන යාමේ පුරෝගාමීන් වූහ.

කාසියේ වාසිය දිනූ ශ්‍රී ලංකා නායක දසුන් ශානක ප්‍රථමයෙන් පන්දුවට පහර දීමට ඉන්දීය කණ්ඩායමට ආරාධනා කළේය. ආරම්භක පිතිකරු ඉෂාන් කිෂාන් පළමු ඕවරයේ දී හතරේ පහර 2ක් ඇතුළුව මුලු ලකුණු 17ක් ලබා ගත් අතර, ඉන්දියන් කණ්ඩායමට විශිෂ්ට ආරම්භයක් ලබා දුන්නේය. කිෂාන් සහ ශුබ්මන් ගිල්ගේ ආරම්භක පිතිකරු යුගලයේ සභදතාවය අවසන් කරමින්, මහේෂ් තීක්ෂණ අනෙක් මංගල ක්‍රීඩකයා වූ ශුබ්මන් ගිල්ගේ කඩුල්ල දවා ගැනීමට සමත් විය.

එතැන් පටන් තරගයට අවතීරණය වූ ශ්‍රී ලංකා ක්‍රීඩකයන් තරගයේ පාලනය මොහොතකට ලබා ගත් නමුත් ඔවුන්ට එය අවසානය තෙක් රැගෙන යාමට ඉන්දීය පිතිකරුවන් ඉඩ ලබා දුන්නේ නැත. එහිදී දීපක් හූඩා නොදැවී ලකුණු 41 රැස් කිරීමට සමත් විය. පන්දුවාර විස්ස අවසානයේ ඉන්දීය ලකුණු පුවරුව 162/5 ලෙස දැක්විය.

மிகவும் விறுவிறுப்பான போட்டிக்கு பிறகு முதல் போட்டியில் இந்தியா வெற்றி பெற்றது

தொடக்க ஆட்டத்தில் வெற்றி பெற வேண்டும் என்பதில் இலங்கை உறுதியாக இருந்தது, ஆனால் இந்திய ஆல்-ரவுண்டர்கள் மற்றும் இளம் அறிமுக வீரர் சிவம் மாவியின் பந்துவீச்சு இலங்கை அணியின் வெற்றிப் பாதையைத் தடுத்தது.

தீபக் ஹூடா, அக்சர் படேல், மாவி ஆகியோர் இந்திய அணியை வெற்றிப் பாதைக்கு அழைத்துச் சென்றதில் முன்னோடிகளாக இருந்தனர்.

டாஸ் வென்ற இலங்கை கேப்டன் தசுன் ஷனகா இந்திய அணியை முதலில் பேட்டிங் செய்ய அழைத்தார். தொடக்க ஆட்டக்காரர் இஷான் கிஷான் முதல் ஓவரில் 2 பவுண்டரிகள் உட்பட மொத்தம் 17 ரன்கள் எடுத்து இந்திய அணிக்கு சிறப்பான தொடக்கத்தை அளித்தார். மகேஷ் தீக்ஷனா, மற்றொரு அறிமுக வீரரான ஷுப்மான் கில்லின் விக்கெட்டை வீழ்த்தி, தொடக்க ஜோடியான கிஷன் மற்றும் ஷுப்மான் கில் ஆகியோரின் போட்டியை முடிவுக்கு கொண்டு வந்தார்.

அதிலிருந்து இலங்கை வீரர்கள் ஒரு நிமிடம் ஆட்டத்தை தங்கள் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் வைத்தனர், ஆனால் இந்திய பேட்ஸ்மேன்கள் அவர்களை இறுதிவரை கொண்டு செல்ல அனுமதிக்கவில்லை. அங்கு தீபக் ஹூடா ஆட்டமிழக்காமல் 41 ரன்கள் எடுத்தார். இருபது ஓவர்கள் முடிவில் இந்திய ஸ்கோர்போர்டு 162/5.

பதில் இன்னிங்ஸை ஆட களம் இறங்கிய இலங்கை அணியால் வெற்றிகரமான தொடக்கம் கிடைக்காததால், தொடக்க துடுப்பாட்டப் பற்றாக்குறையை 12 ரன்களுக்கு மட்டுப்படுத்திய சிவம் மாவி பதுமையும் நிதானமாக மைதானத்திற்கு அனுப்பினார்.

மிடில் ஆர்டர் பேட்ஸ்மேன்களை ரன்களுக்குள் நுழைய விடாத இந்திய பேட்ஸ்மேன்கள், இம்முறையும் மிடில் ஆர்டர் பேட்டிங் முறை தோல்வியடைந்தது. கேப்டன் ஷனக மற்றும் வனிது ஹசரங்க ஆகியோர் ஆட்டத்தை மீண்டும் இலங்கையை நோக்கி ஆட முடிந்தது, ஆனால் அவர்கள் அதை வெற்றிக்கு கொண்டு செல்லத் தவறினர். போட்டியின் கடைசி ஓவர் வரை வெற்றியை விட்டுக் கொடுக்காத சமிக கருணாரத்ன சிறப்பான துடுப்பாட்டத்தை வெளிப்படுத்திய போதிலும் அது வெற்றிக்கு போதுமானதாக அமையவில்லை.

இறுதியில், இருபது ஓவர்கள் முடிவில் அனைத்து வீரர்களும் அவுட்டாக இலங்கை ஸ்கோர்போர்டு 160 ரன்களைக் காட்டியது. இலங்கை அணி சார்பில் கேப்டன் தசுன் ஷனக 45 புள்ளிகளைப் பெற்றார். ஆட்ட நேர முடிவில் இந்திய அணி 2 புள்ளிகள் வித்தியாசத்தில் வெற்றி பெற்றது.

AIFF Faces FIFA, AFC Ban Threat as October 30 Deadline Looms

Published

on

By

Indian football is staring at yet another international suspension as FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have jointly warned the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to ratify its long-pending constitution by October 30, 2025, or risk a complete ban from world football.

In a strongly-worded two-page letter sent on Tuesday (August 26) to AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey, FIFA and AFC expressed “profound concern” over the failure to finalise and implement a revised constitution, a matter pending before India’s Supreme Court since 2017.

If suspended, India’s national teams and clubs would be barred from all international competitions, while the country’s ambitious 2036 Olympic Games bid in Ahmedabad could also be thrown into uncertainty.

FIFA & AFC Ultimatum

The letter, signed by FIFA’s Chief Member Associations Officer Elkhan Mammadov and AFC Deputy General Secretary Vahid Kardany, set out three urgent requirements for the AIFF:

1. Obtain a definitive Supreme Court order approving the revised constitution.

2. Ensure full compliance with FIFA and AFC statutes.

3. Formally ratify the constitution at the next AIFF General Meeting.

Failure to comply, they warned, would trigger sanctions, including full suspension of AIFF membership.

Previous Suspension in 2022

This is not the first governance crisis to hit Indian football. In August 2022, FIFA suspended the AIFF for “third-party interference” after a court-appointed Committee of Administrators temporarily ran the federation. That ban lasted just two weeks, lifted only after fresh elections were held in which Kalyan Chaubey defeated football legend Bhaichung Bhutia.

Domestic Fallout – ISL in Crisis

The deadlock has already disrupted Indian football at the domestic level. The Indian Super League (ISL), India’s top-tier professional league, has been put “on hold” by Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), the AIFF’s commercial partner, due to uncertainty over its Master Rights Agreement, which expires in December 2025.

At least three clubs have suspended operations or delayed salaries, while all 11 ISL clubs have warned of an “existential crisis.” Reports from FIFPRO further highlight cases of players’ contracts being terminated, leaving livelihoods at risk.

The Supreme Court of India will hear the matter again on August 28, a session that could determine the immediate future of the ISL and India’s football calendar.

What’s at Stake

If AIFF fails to meet the October deadline, India could lose:

• Participation in FIFA and AFC tournaments.

• Entry rights for national teams and clubs in international competitions.

• Momentum in its 2036 Olympics bid.

• Credibility with players, fans, and commercial partners.

For now, the football fraternity in India waits anxiously for the Supreme Court’s verdict and AIFF’s ability to steer through yet another governance storm

Exclusive: AFC Fines Sri Lankan Footballer Over “Free Palestine” Message

Published

on

By

Colombo – June 13
Sri Lankan national footballer Mohamed Thilham, who recently made headlines after displaying a “PRAY FOR FREE PALESTINE” message on his undershirt during post-match celebrations, has now been officially penalized by international football authorities.

Following Sri Lanka’s 3-1 victory over Chinese Taipei in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers on June 10 at the Colombo Racecourse Stadium, Thilham—a non-playing substitute—unveiled the message, drawing both praise and criticism from various quarters.

⚠️ AFC Sanctions Player with USD 2,000 Fine

FIFA, in coordination with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), has now issued a formal disciplinary notice to the player, imposing a USD 2,000 fine. This letter, according to sources within the Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL), was sent addressing to Thilham, underscoring AFC stance on politically charged expressions at official matches.

According to FIFA’s Disciplinary Code, players are prohibited from displaying political, religious, or personal slogans during matches or official ceremonies. While Thilham’s gesture occurred after the final whistle, FIFA and AFC treat any action within the stadium environment as part of official conduct.

⚽ FFSL Under Scrutiny for Disciplinary Action

FFSL President Jaswar Umar previously stated that the act “was not authorized by the federation” and “violates international football disciplinary norms.” He also confirmed that the FFSL would take internal disciplinary action against the player.

However, this incident has reignited public debate over the role of athletes in social advocacy and the limits imposed by international sports law. While some supporters see Thilham’s actions as courageous and morally driven, others have raised concerns about the player’s career stability and future opportunities under increasing scrutiny.

📝 Editorial Insight

At Sri Lankan Sports TV, we initially chose to withhold the content of the message in our match coverage—out of responsibility to the player’s career and to respect global sports protocol. However, the message went viral after several social media users circulated the full image, seemingly with the intention of sparking controversy.

The resulting spotlight has unfortunately led to a formal penalty, underscoring the real-world consequences that athletes may face when international regulations intersect with personal conviction.
