Can Sri Lanka erase the nightmares of the past? India will look to inflict more pain. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) After a colourful and successful completion of the Lanka Premier League, (LPL), battle lines are drawn for the much anticipated T20 and One-dayers against the might of India which is being staged in Sri Lanka.  The Indians arrived in the Island hot favourites to repeat the humiliation they inflicted over the hosts when they last met. But there is growing belief among the  beleaguered Lankans that they are up to the fight this time around.  A reshuffled Lankan team under the captaincy of Charith Asalanka and a new directional input from new administrators under former Sri Lanka opening batter Upul Tharanga ushers in with it, optimism and a hope of a turnaround of their dwindling fortunes.  The resignation of English coach Chris Silverwood after a ...

Chamari Athapaththu smashes hapless Malaysia to lead Sri Lanka to a comprehensive win. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Chamari Athapaththu has chosen her method of walking away from the game she loves by ensuring her memory will be indelible.  The Sri Lankan superstar and skipper smashed a hapless Malaysia attack in a merciless display of aggressive strokeplay to end up with 119 not out off only 69 balls with 7 sixers and 14 fours balls to complete a single-handed demolition of one of Asia’s minnows.  The world ranked number one batter and captain of the ICC world eleven showed her master-class in an unforgiving onslaught that steered Sri Lanka to a comfortable victory in their second foray before their last match against Thailand at the group stage before the semi finals.  Thailand found their chase suffocating as a makeshift Sri Lanka attack choked them with clever ...

Sri Lanka crush Bangladesh in Asia Cup opener. Seven wicket win suggests India- Sri Lanka final.-BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka started their Asia Cup campaign in commanding form dispatching Bangladesh to record a 7-wicket win in Dambulla. Sri Lanka and India are the in-form teams in the Asian region and both have shown that they are the teams to beat in their respective groups.  India are sitting pretty at the top of their group with two wins over Pakistan and UAE and unless things go pear shaped, Sri Lanka should get through their group on current form. India needs to beat Nepal to move to the next stage while Sri Lanka having a resounding win over  Bangladesh have Thailand and Malaysia ahead of them in what looks like a tantalising India- Sri Lanka final if things go to plan.  Keeping their heads and not getting ...

Windies lift to seal 2-1series win in a thriller. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) As expected, the West Indies acclimatised, albeit a tad late, as they romped to a 2-1 series win over Sri Lanka to level things in the second T20 encounter in Hambantota.  Beaten comprehensively in the one-dayers, then stepping up in defeat in the first T20 game, was a sure indication that they were working out the conditions on a familiar venue and it came as no surprise that the short-sighted planning by the locals was definitely meant to backfire on the home team eventually.  While the venue planning, or a botched one is debatable, there is no doubt that the visitors now feel at home in Hambantota and the fact that Sri Lanka were beaten in the decider was not a huge surprise. The wash up will reveal if the single venue for ...

Sri Lanka women heap more more pain on Windies in T20 opener. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka continued to heap more pain on the touring West Indies with a resounding four- wicket win with 8 balls remaining in the first T20 encounter in Hambantota.  Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu failed with the bat but struck telling blows with the ball to restrict the visitors to 134 for 8 after inviting them to take first lease of a wicket that seemed to have little terrors. The West Indies batters once again showed their vulnerability against spin as they put up a better showing but floundered to a below par total which Sri Lanka’s batters ran down without too much discomfort.  The sharp incline in the Women’s game has infused new interest to the cricket mad nation that has been starved of success from the men’s ...
