Sri Lanka’s fate depends on Ireland and Afghanistan teams

Published

on

The fate of Sri Lanka’s position in the semi-finals rests on the teams of Ireland and Afghanistan.

Sri Lanka’s impressive 6-wicket win over Afghanistan and England’s 20-run win over New Zealand at the Gabba yesterday have given Dasun Shanaka a slim chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of the ICC T-20 World Cup.

Sri Lanka hopes that New Zealand will lose to Ireland or that Afghanistan will beat Australia.

Sri Lanka will train in Sydney on Friday but their minds will be on Adelaide where they will play both crucial matches. Of course, on Saturday, they must beat England at the SCG.

If New Zealand and Australia win on Friday, Sri Lanka will have to give up their quarter-final dream ahead of their final Super 12 match.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ ඉරණම අයර්ලන්ත හා ඇෆ්ගනිස්තාන කණ්ඩායම් මත

ශ්‍රී ලංකා කණ්ඩායම අර්ධ අවසන් පූර්ව වටයට තේරීමේ ඉරණම රදා පවතින්නේ අයර්ලන්ත හා ඇෆ්ගනිස්තාන කණ්ඩායම් මතය.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාව ඇෆ්ගනිස්තානයට එරෙහිව කඩුලු 6 ක විශිෂ්ට ජයග්‍රහණයක් සහ එංගලන්තය නවසීලන්තය ලකුණු 20 කින් ඊයේ ගබ්බාහිදී පරාජය කිරීම දසුන් ශානකට ICC T-20 ලෝක කුසලානයේ අවසන් පූර්ව වටයට සුදුසුකම් ලැබීමේ සිහින් බලාපොරොත්තුවක් ඇති කර තිබේ.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාව දැන් බලාපොරොත්තු වන්නේ නවසීලන්තය අයර්ලන්තය හමුවේ පරාජයට පත්වනු ඇතැයි හෝ ඇෆ්ගනිස්තානය ඔස්ට්‍රේලියාව පරාජය කරනු ඇතැයි කියාය.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාව සිකුරාදා සිඩ්නි හිදී පුහුණු වීමට නියමිත නමුත් ඔවුන්ගේ මනස එම තීරණාත්මක තරග දෙකම ක්‍රීඩා කරන ඇඩිලේඩ් හි පවතිනු ඇත. ඇත්ත වශයෙන්ම, සෙනසුරාදා, ඔවුන් SCG හිදී එංගලන්තය පරාජය කළ යුතුය.

සිකුරාදා නවසීලන්තය සහ ඕස්ට්‍රේලියාව ජයග්‍රහණය කළහොත්, ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට ඔවුන්ගේ අවසන් සුපිරි 12 තරගයට පෙරම ඔවුන්ගේ අර්ධ අවසන් පූර්ව වටයේ සිහිනය අත් හැරීමට සිදු වේ.

இலங்கையின் தலைவிதி அயர்லாந்து மற்றும் ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் அணிகளில் தங்கியுள்ளது

அரையிறுதிப் போட்டிக்கான இலங்கைத் தேர்வின் விதி அயர்லாந்து மற்றும் ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் அணிகளில் தங்கியுள்ளது.

ஆப்கானிஸ்தானுக்கு எதிரான இலங்கையின் அபார வெற்றியும், நியூசிலாந்திற்கு எதிராக இங்கிலாந்து அணி 20 ஓட்டங்கள் வித்தியாசத்தில் நேற்று கப்பா மைதானத்தில் பெற்ற வெற்றியும் தசுன் ஷனகவுக்கு ICC T-20 உலகக் கோப்பையின் அரையிறுதிக்குத் தகுதி பெறும் வாய்ப்பை வழங்கியுள்ளது.

நியூசிலாந்து அயர்லாந்திடம் தோற்றுவிடும் அல்லது ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் ஆஸ்திரேலியாவை வீழ்த்தும் என்று இலங்கை இப்போது நம்புகிறது.

இலங்கை வெள்ளிக்கிழமை சிட்னியில் பயிற்சி பெறும் ஆனால் அவர்களின் மனம் அடிலெய்டில் இருக்கும், அங்கு அவர்கள் இரண்டு முக்கியமான போட்டிகளிலும் விளையாடுவார்கள். நிச்சயமாக, சனிக்கிழமை, அவர்கள் SCG இல் இங்கிலாந்தை வெல்ல வேண்டும்.

வெள்ளிக்கிழமை நியூசிலாந்து மற்றும் அவுஸ்திரேலியா வெற்றி பெற்றால், இலங்கை தனது இறுதி சூப்பர் 12 போட்டிக்கு முன்னதாக காலிறுதி கனவை கைவிட வேண்டும்.
