Will West Indies pick up a consolation win? Sri Lanka vs West Indies TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka clinched the series with a dominant win in the second ODI, sending West Indies into a state of dejection. West Indies know what they need to do to push for a win, but their young team doesn’t quite have the ability to adapt to the conditions and start playing spin with more confidence. No wonder the visitors are still searching for their first victory in more than 10 matches in Sri Lankan soil. With a dead rubber, there’s hardly any pressure and they may pick up a consolation win but they will need to play at their absolute best to even come close to challenging the mighty Lankans in this form. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lankan bowlers have come to the fore and set things up nicely for their batters to come in and get the job done. Asitha Fernando, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshanaβ€”who walked into the XI at the last minuteβ€” bowled beautifully with intent to trigger a collapse and run through their batting order. At 58 for 8, the visitors were in deep trouble. Sri Lanka were hoping to mop up the tail and make short work of the chase, but Rutherford and Motie offered resistance bringing up a 119-run stand. West Indies Preview West Indies batsmen were left bewildered by Sri Lankan spinners in the second ODI, as well. Brandon King and Shai Hope looked to take the attack to the pace bowler Asitha Fernando, but it backfired against them in the end. Their wickets created an opening that the hosts spinners would exploit later on. West Indian batsmen were sitting ducks against the likes of Theekshana, Hasaranga on a slow, dry used surface. They couldn’t play out their full quota of overs and were skittled out inside 40. It could have been worse. Reduced to 58 for 8, the visitors had Rutherford and Motie come together and make some valuable runs for the 9th wicket, adding 119 runs to give their total a bit of respectability. Weather Conditions Scoring runs on the used wicket was arduous, as many West Indies batters found the other day. A new wicket is in order for the final match, but the conditions will mostly stay the same. And it could make run-scoring difficult early on, whether it’s pace or spin. It’s going to be cloudy and rain is predicted during the course of the game, and the bowlers will look to make the most of it. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy where Sri Lanka picked up their 11th win in 14 matches a couple of days ago. Toss: To Bowl The chasing team had a leg up in both matches this series, so there’s a good chance that the team winning the toss would opt to field first.

Will West Indies play their natural game to counter the Sri Lankan spin threat? Lions vs Titans TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka drew first blood against West Indies in the first ODI at Pallekele to go 1-0 up in the three-match series. West Indies don’t have much time to dwell on what went wrong in the first game and need to find a way quickly to bounce back from a defeat and push the series into the decider. And this sets up the stage for what could be an exciting ODI contest between these two teams with contrasting fortunes. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka made headway thanks to a solid century-run stand between captain Charith Asalanka and the debutant Nishan Madushka. Considered a like for like replacement for Pathum Nissanka up top, the right handed batsmen eased into his position and played with such maturity to take his team through to a win. With the rest of the top order failing to score, Maduskha paired up with his captain and wiped out a huge chunk of the target at a brisk pace, scoring 137 runs in 18.1 overs to put Sri Lanka in the driver’s seat. He’ll look to cash in the upcoming games while Nissanka spends time off the pitch recovering from his injury. West Indies Preview With so many pundits expecting them to fold to spin again, West Indies put up a proper fight. Facing up to five spinners is a little too much to handle for the inexperienced squad, but they got off to a reasonable start, scoring 34 runs off the first 7 overs. After a watchful start, the opening pair Alick Athanaze and Brandon King lost their wickets quickly, with Hasaranga striking twice in a space of 12 balls. Weather Conditions Batsmen found it difficult to accumulate runs when the ball was gripping on a slow turning wicket, but chasing under lights was much easier with the ball becoming wet and all. With similar conditions forecast for the second match, getting to a par score isn’t going to cut it. And the team batting first would look to get up to a good total around 280 to 300, pose a challenge to the team chasing. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium where Sri Lanka collected their 10th win in 13 matches a couple of days ago. Toss: To Bowl Electing to bat first seemed like a good choice early on, but Sri Lanka had it easy chasing down the score comfortably. Moreover, 6 of the last 10 matches at this venue were won by the team chasing. It’s not hard to imagine the captain winning the toss choosing to field first regardless of the threat of rain interrupting play.

Sri Lanka vs West Indies TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Having come back from behind to claim the T20I series, hosts Sri Lanka gear up for their next challenge β€” taking on a circumspect West Indies side in one of their strongest formats at home. West Indies, however, need to quickly regroup following their series loss. Preparing themselves for the gruelling ODIs ahead is going to take a big mental shift. Having bossed the opening T20, West Indies would be kicking themselves at not being able to carry their momentum from the first T20I into the second and third match. With a dominant win like that, they might have had their sights on rounding off a stellar year with yet another trophy to add to their cabinet. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview A come-from-behind series victory is always special and Sri Lankan players will feel positive heading into the ODI leg of the tour with a massive confidence boost. Making the transition from T20 to ODI shouldn’t be a problem for the hosts, because the core of the team is still going to be intact. There’s the impressive Pathum Nissanka up top, offering solidity. And partnering him will be Avishka Fernando with Kusal Mendis slotting in at #3 to keep the runs flowing early on in the game. West Indies Preview Having failed the Lankan spin challenge in the last two T20s, West Indies batters are now faced with the difficult prospect of taking on an equally dangerous spin attack on testing pitches in a longer formatβ€” and it doesn’t bode well at all for them. Besides, ODI is not a format that West Indies really fancy their chances in. They wouldn’t usually back themselves to win in the ODIs against most sides in the world, like they would in the T20s. Worse yet, with just 3 wins in 17 ODI matches in this part of the world, West Indies have always found Sri Lanka a tough place to visit. Weather Conditions This track has been predominantly good for batting, with the average score in the past 4 years ranging between 260 to 310. Batsmen, if they set up a platform seeing off the early spell from swing bowlers, can keep the scoreboard ticking over nicely. The wicket generally remains true to its character for most part of the match, however, at instances, has slowed down bringing spinners into play. Weather-wise, it’s looking good and the forecast for the game doesn’t stoke any concerns. SL vs WI Pitch Report A change in format and a change in venue too. Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will be hosting all the three ODIs of this series. The hosts have a successful track record of taking on their opposition here, with 9 wins from 12 matches in the past four years. Toss: To Bat Although the outcome of the toss doesn’t influence the result here, teams chasing have done well in day night fixtures, winning 9 out of 14 games, in which a game was abandoned and didn’t produce a result. Although Sri Lanka, of late, has had a tendency to bat first and put runs on the board, it would be interesting to see what they decide to do in this case.

TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Pathum Nissanka – we won’t be forgetting that name anytime soon. He was the hero of Sri Lanka’s first Test victory in over a decade against England away from home. A win like that has the ability to lift the side’s confidence multi-fold. Sri Lanka would now like to utilise it against New Zealand in home conditions. New Zealand Preview New Zealand would be ruing the missed opportunity to play Afghanistan in India as a preparation for an important Test series against Sri Lanka. Thankfully, it did not cost them any WTC points, as Afghanistan are not part of the current WTC cycle, but it surely robbed them of some essential practice against Afghanistan spinners before the trial by spin in Sri Lanka. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Galle Cricket Stadium is not good news. It is expected to experience scattered rain showers throughout the day with periods of moderate to heavy rainfall. It’s a tough call for the captain winning the toss, given the conditions. Temperatures will likely range between 26Β°C and 29Β°C with high humidity levels. Be prepared for delays and interruptions in the match. SL vs NZ Pitch Report The venue of the match is Galle International Stadium. It is one of the most iconic and picturesque stadiums in Sri Lanka. Formerly a racecourse, it was converted to a cricket stadium almost 100 years ago in 1927. Incidentally, the first Test match played here was between Sri Lanka and New Zealand in 1998. The stadium has a seating capacity of 35,000 spectators.

ENG vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis Ollie Pope and Co. will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the 3rd and final Test of the series at the Kennington Oval in London. The home team has been exceptional so far with some brilliant individual performances putting them on top every time. Sri Lanka will look up to their bowlers to give them an edge over the hosts in this Test. The bowlers were brilliant at Lord’s in the 1st innings reducing England to 6 for 216 runs. If only they had cleared the tail quickly, Sri Lanka would have ended up with a huge advantage in the 1st innings. TTEAMS PREVIEW England Preview England stand-in skipperΒ Ollie Pope is struggling to find his form with the batΒ and will be aiming for a big knock at the Kennington Oval. His returns in the last 2 Tests have been 1, 6, and 6. As a number 3 batter, the skipper has a big role to play for his side. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka will be looking to save face by avoiding a clean sweep. They had their chances in the last match but failed to capitalize on them. Moreover, their lack of form with the bat has hurt their winning chances the most. Weather Conditions Showers are predicted on Day 1 of the 3rd Test between England and Sri Lanka in London. We could likely lose the entire day or at best have a few overs in the final session of play. While Day 2 will be cloudy there is rain prediction again for the 3rd and 4th days of the Test. It seems quite challenging to have a win for either team if the weather predictions are accurate. ENG vs SL Pitch Report Considering the overcast conditions, we reckon the bowlers will have a great time on this pitch. Though it has plenty of help for batters, there is some movement for the pacers too especially with the new ball under clouds.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β England vs Sri Lanka𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 29, 2024π“πˆπŒπ„ : 15:30 PM IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Lord’s Cricket Ground, United Kingdom, United Kingdom π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 2nd Test 2024 Injury-hit England face Sri Lanka at a warm Lord’s after the tourists showed plenty of skill and courage at a cold Old Trafford! ENG vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis Any Test Match at Lord’s is a spectacular experience for fans and players alike with this week’s contest between England and Sri Lanka expected to be no different! It is always interesting to see how the visiting XI are able to perform at a venue steeped in history but one which gives opportunities to pace bowlers with the slope and batters with the true and consistent nature of the wicket. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview After England took the field with an almost unrecognisable Test side from only 18 months earlier at Old Trafford, the team will have an even more in-experienced look at Lord’s after pace-supremo Mark Wood was ruled out due to a strain sustained in the First Test which prevented him bowling on day four. He joins captain Ben Stokes and opener Zak Crawley on the sidelines with question marks also against Chris Woakes who appeared to be struggling with a groin injury during the final exchanges on Saturday. Sri Lanka Preview After finding themselves 3/6 on the first morning of the Old Trafford Test and then 2/1 after conceding a first innings deficit of 122 runs, Sri Lanka showed plenty of grit, determination, character and ability to push England close and only lose by five wickets last week. As a result, we expect Dhananjaya de Silva to announce an unchanged side at Lord’s which means a second international cap for Milan Rathnayake who made his debut in Manchester. Weather Conditions The conditions look like being very consistent across the five days of this Test with the rain interruptions and cold conditions of Manchester consigned to last week! According to the forecast the temperature will be in the mid-twenties throughout the Test and we should get large periods of sunshine on each day. ENG vs SL Pitch Report At some Test grounds the players arrive on Day One of the match unsure what the pitch will deliver but that is never the case at Lord’s. We can expect a very good batting wicket for the first three days of the Test although there could be some grass left on the surface which will interest the bowlers during the first session. Whoever bats first will be targeting 350-400 as a competitive total.

England vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ENG vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis Although it is England as the hosts who will come into this Test and the series expecting to win convincingly, it is actually Sri Lanka who begins this match in fourth compared to their hosts seventh place in the World Test Championship! The tourists also come off the back of strong wins in this format earlier this year but they will be under no illusions that playing England in England is a very tough assignment. For the hosts, they have their eyes trained on the Ashes series down-under in 2025/26 and are rapidly trying to get experience into keeper-batter Jamie Smith and spinner Shoaib Bashir which could provide an opportunity for Sri Lanka. Equally, Ben Stokes’ injury will give vice-captain Ollie Pope the chance to lead the side but he has precious little experience of doing so in any format. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview This England side does not like to look at things in a negative fashion so it will be interesting to see how they approach this opening Test of the series without their captain Ben Stokes and regular opener Zak Crawley. Indeed, it is less than 12 months since both Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson were both sharing the new ball for this side and the team which takes the field has a distinct lack of experience compared to recent years. Sri Lanka Preview This will be Sri Lanka’s first Test since they beat Bangladesh by 192 runs at the start of April to make it three victories in this format in a row. Indeed, all three of those wins have been by very comfortable margins which should mean there is a good level of confidence in the squad. That said, there have been changes in the backroom staff and former England coach Chris Silverwood is no longer with the side – instead the tourists will have former opener Sanath Jayasuriya as interim coach and he will have the local knowledge of former England Test batter Ian Bell to lean on. Weather Conditions The weather in Manchester is often joked about for being dreary, cold and wet, and according to the forecast, it could live up to its reputation at Old Trafford this week! Day one is expected to remain dry but it would be a surprise if there were no interruptions due to rain across the other four scheduled days of the Test. ENG vs SL Pitch Report Old Trafford is one of England’s historic Test venues and there is always strong backing for the home side. Even after turning the pitch by 90 degrees a few years ago, the pitch remains one of the quickest in the country. We expect spin to play a role in this match over the final two days of the game and batting should be easiest over the first two days.

IREW vs SLW Match Prediction & Analysis After winning the first WT20 match with Ireland, it has been a period of big struggle for Sri Lanka in the last two games. Sri Lanka Women might have entered into the ODI series having never lost to Ireland Women in the history of the game, but a three-wicket defeat has put them on the verge of losing the series. It is a dramatic shift in fortunes for the two teams.  Ireland were set a modest target of 261 on a tricky pitch, but they were able to comfortably get to a victory and claim two championship points. This victory comes just days after the seven-run success over Sri Lanka in the second WT20I match. Sri Lanka have very little time to regroup but they have to do so quickly without any choice. Stormont in Belfast will once again host this game. Ireland Preview Ireland will have sky-high confidence after managing a first win over Sri Lanka Women in the ODI format while also managing to get a first 200+ chase in this format. Even though Ireland were frequently losing wickets in the chase, all-rounder Orla Prendergast had a huge impact on the game with 122 runs from her 107 balls. There was not a moment when Ireland let the slack and they were able to keep the required run rate within manageable levels. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka might have started the ODI series on a positive note thanks to a century from Vishmi Gunaratne in just 98 balls, but things quickly went downhill with the team steadily losing wickets. The defeat in the first of the three ODI matches was a big blow for Sri Lanka Women, who were always in danger of losing their unbeaten streak against Ireland Women during this series. However, the narrow loss has opened up the possibility of Sri Lanka suffering an embarrassing exit from the competition after having previously failed to capture the WT20 series. Weather Conditions The game is expected to be played in cloudy conditions with maximum temperatures hitting only 19Β°C. There is a 20% probability of rain during the game. The pitch is expected to be quite neutral just as in the first ODI. One can expect scores of about 220 quite comfortably. IREW vs SLW Pitch Report The Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont had relatively low average numbers on the handful of ODO matches. After just setting the highest match aggregate total between Ireland and Sri Lanka, the venue might be set for a competitive game. The average score in the first and second innings is 219 and 226 respectively.

After a closely fought draw in the WT20I series, Sri Lanka Women and Ireland Women go up against each other in the first game of the ODI series. Even though Sri Lanka have an excellent record against Ireland in the WODI games, they are likely to have tough competition in the series. The T20I games were really committed between the two teams.  Sri Lanka Women achieved a big victory in the first T20I game, but the second match turned out to be a big surprise in terms of performances and results. The bowler-friendly pitch in Belfast makes it difficult to expect anything other than a competitive series, which could ultimately provide a winner, unlike the WT20I games. The Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast will be the location for the next three WODI games. Ireland Preview After a string of WT20 games, Ireland Women are in action for a crucial set of WODI games. A valiant victory in the final WT20 match resulted in Ireland omen getting a draw in the WT20 series. However, the three-game WODI series will present an excellent opportunity to push for a first success in the 50-over version of the game against Sri Lanka Women. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka Women will be motivated immensely by their desire to maintain their unbeaten WODI record against Ireland Women. In the last WODI meeting, Sri Lanka picked up a victory by 146 runs. Weather Conditions From the recent three ODI games on this ground in May 2024, the average score in the first and second innings stands at 218 and 131 respectively. One can expect a pitch which is more friendly towards bowlers. The pacers are likely to have a better time than the spinners. The weather conditions in Belfort for this game will be partly cloudy with maximum temperatures of 19Β°C. IREW vs SLW Pitch Report The Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont, Belfast, will host this game. The last WODI game on this ground was in 1997. The average first innings score of the Ireland men’s team in the ODI matches on this ground stands at 179 from their matches in 2021 and the second innings score on average is 192 runs.

Sri Lanka vs India TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis In an unexpected development, Sri Lanka defeated India, the world’s top-ranked ODI side, in the second match of the series in Colombo, giving them a 1-0 lead in the series. With only one game remaining, India now faces the daunting task of leveling the series to avoid an embarrassing ODI series defeat against Sri Lanka.Β Sri Lanka’s last ODI series win against India was back in 1997, so this is their chance to rewrite a new chapter in their history.Β  Sri Lanka Preview No one expected Sri Lanka to defeat India in this ODI series. Especially as the home side is without several frontline bowlers and India are almost at full strength. However, they have made perfect use of these slow conditions and made the Indian batsmen struggle. After tying the first game, Sri Lanka produced a terrific effort in the second ODI to win by 32 runs.  India Preview Team India have been caught napping in this ODI series. The slow, spinning tracks haven’t allowed their batters to hit through the line and they have shown an unusual lack of discipline to stay at the wicket when the going is tough. Weather Conditions The pitch at the R.Premadasa Stadium will be slow and will continue to offer loads of spin and bounce. The best time to bat here is in the first 10 overs when the ball is new and the pitch is a little hard. As the ball gets older, the pitch becomes tougher to bat on. It will spin viciously and grip the surface, especially in the second innings. Batters will need to show solid defense and plenty of application to survive the tough conditions and make runs.
