Rain flushes out Sri Lanka hopes of Super Eight ‘miracle’ as Nepal game abandoned in Miami. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) A torrential downpour in Miami flushed Sri Lanka’s glimmer of hope down the storm water drains in the US as an abandoned game confirmed their disappointing exit from the T20 World Cup. Winless and clinging on to hope of two wins against the minnows and other results going their way, the weather gods chose to step in and put their aspirations to rest. There’s no doubt that this was a disastrous campaign and no amount of excuses will provide solace for a team not with it in this format. Sri Lanka’s Sports Minister Harin Fernando was quick to defend the team back in Colombo stating that they were hard done by, and blaming social media for the negative responses from Sri Lanka cricket ...

What Sri Lanka can learn from Australia’s World Cup campaign – By Rex Clementine Australia’s fielding was one key point as they beat India in the World Cup final. Travis Head’s stunning diving catch to dismiss Rohit Sharma was one of the turning points in the game. Source : island It was a fabulous night indeed in Ahmedabad as Australia defied all expectations and beat hosts and favourites India in the grand final of the sport’s showpiece event last Sunday.

Australia, meanwhile, huffed and puffed, lost their opening two fixtures, nearly were beaten by Afghanistan and almost blew it against South Africa in the semi-final. But when it mattered, in front of a full house at the world’s largest sports stadium, ...
