Sri Lanka’s Triumph at The Oval Analysed & Weighed-by Nick Brookes Source:Thuppahis in his MURALI END site with this title “English Summer gives Sri Lanka Something to Build Upon”…… reproduced here with highlights imposed by The Editor, Thuppahi The scene couldn’t have been any less Sri Lankan. The skies were ashen and the clouds heavy; the harsh gusts of wind warned that winter was on its way. Sri Lanka’s support staff wore hoodies and woolly hats; even the English fielders clung to handwarmers. Yet, the awful weather couldn’t keep Sri Lanka’s fans away. Nor could it keep Pathum Nissanka quiet. As he nudged the ball past backward point – declaring Sri Lanka emphatic winners of the third Test – smiles lit up South London and lion flags fluttered all around The Oval. Sri Lanka had their fourth victory on English soil. Unexpected? Undoubtedly. Yet it’s hard to say that it wasn’t deserved. Of course, the ...

Sri Lanka thrash India to confirm Asian dominance in both men’s and women’s cricket. Outstanding Dinuth Wellalage and Avishka Fernando set the platform for series sweep in one dayers. BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka stunned the cricketing world with a dominant series wipeout of number one ranked India, and that victory, after 27 long years, could not have tasted sweeter. Cowering in the shadows of a tormentor of ten previous bilateral series, Sri Lanka took a leaf out of the book of their women’s team that showed courage and inspiration to complete an Asian dominance that will be etched in the memory of their fans forever. Wild euphoria swept the country as Charith Asalanka’s men exposed an uncharacteristic weakness in Indian batting, never seen before, as emerging superstar 21- year -old Dinuth Wellalage led a potent Sri Lanka spin attack to an emphatic series winning ...

India throttle Sri Lanka in Riveting Cricket Match-by Shashank Kishore Source:Thuppahis Shashank Kishore in ESPNcricinfo, 27 July 2024 …. with highlights imposed by The Editor, Thuppahi India 213 for 7 (Suryakumar 58, Pant 49, Jaiswal 40, Pathirana 4-40) beat Sri Lanka 170 (Nissanka 79, Mendis 45, Parag 3-5, Arshdeep 2-24, Axar 2-38) by 43 runs India’s new T20I era under Suryakumar Yadav began on a winning note, even if it was jittery at various points in their defence of a big score. A spirited Sri Lankan batting unit, spearheaded by Pathum Nissanka and his free-stroking 79 left an Indian team playing with just five bowling options hanging onto crumbs of hope. One of them was scoreboard pressure. Sri Lanka had nine wickets in hand, but they still needed 74 off 36. Yadav sweeps & Riyan Parag celebrates a wicket Nissanka, reprieved a ball earlier by Ravi Bishnoi at deep midwicket, fell to Axar Patel to open the floodgates. India converted that opening into a double-strike when Kusal ...

India continue their Sri Lanka dominance taking game one without a flutter. BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) India made short work of a Sri Lanka team lacking batting depth cruising to a 43- run win in game one of a three match series in Pallekelle. The gulf between the two nations continues to be concerning with Sri Lanka appearing to carry psychological scars of their previous meetings which were disastrous. The well tuned Indians fresh from the recently concluded IPL, were very much in control and executed their plans to perfection. The unusual rushed schedule appears to be designed for ‘big brothers’ need, judging by back-to-back games and then a short break before the last encounter. Batting first, India made a brisk start against an attack that lacked early penetration as they built up enough momentum to post 213 for 7 in their allotment. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal ...
