Why Sri Lanka won’t become a World Beating T20I Side anytime soon !

Collapse after Collapse after Collapse. This is now turning to be a norm when it comes to T20I Cricket for Sri Lanka as especially the middle order batters are struggling big time. Number 4 to 8 usually needs to do well for a team to be successful but unfortunately that is not happening at all for Sri Lanka in the format.

Here is a comparison of Sri Lanka’s Number 4 to 8 with the last 3 World Champions.

Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Avg - 19.48
Strike Rate - 129.57
50s - 8
Ducks - 13

Australia 🇦🇺

Avg - 29.50
Strike Rate - 151.60
50s - 5
100s - 1
Ducks - 4

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Avg - 28.81
Strike Rate - 148.76
50s - 4
Ducks - 2

India 🇮🇳

Avg - 28.87
Strike Rate - 141.44
50s - 9
Ducks - 6

The average of Sri Lanka’s Number 4 to 8 in the last year is only better than Pakistan (18.09) & Afghanistan (15.95) from the other top teams in World Cricket.

So if the current Test ends as a Draw and Australia wins the last test then India will end on 51.75. Even if both the remaining games end as draws then the percentage for India will be 53.50.

If Australia wins this series 2-1 and then Sri Lanka do manage to beat Australia 2-0, Australia will end on 53.50 and Sri Lanka will end on 53.84.

So as long as India doesn’t win one of the remaining two tests but does draw one of the games and Australia only wins one out of their remaining 4 games, we technically have a chance to qualify!

Scenarios for SL to Qualify

Aus beat India 2-1 and SL beat Aus 2-0
Aus draw India 1-1 and SL beat Aus 2-0

Interesting finish coming up to the World Test Championship 🏆

Almost 10 Years after retiring, Kumar Sangakkara still got the timing 🔥

He was involved in a Net Session recently with one of the best Throwdown Specialists in Sri Lanka Vimukthi Deshapriya!

Exactly a decade ago the legendary Kumar Sangakkara played his last ODI Knock in Sri Lanka. He scored 33 in that knock and few months later at the World Cup he bid adieu to his ODI career. A lot of people will always remember those majestic 4 centuries in a row. Sanga is the epitome for the term “Retire when people ask Why and not when they ask Why Not ?”

His last World Cup campaign will always be epic but his last 20 knocks in the ODI format will always be legendary 🔥

Kumar Sangakkara in his Last 20 ODI Knocks 🇱🇰

Runs - 1316
Avg - 82.25
Strike Rate - 94.88
50s - 6
100s - 6
HS - 124

A decade later, Sri Lankans are still searching for someone who can even come close as a replacement for him !

Is this the end of the road for former skipper Dimuth Karunaratne?
