Entire first choice bowling attack + Travis Head missing and they're ripping SL apart. 

 

Pace and batting depth wins ODIs. Not spinners. When will India learn this?

Spinners winning SL the game

I really don't understand what BD is doing in CT instead of SL. On current form, Would have been a better contest with SL in champions trophy

TBH SL has more talent/better performers at the current moment. So would have expected them to create more "upsets" - if you want to call it that. SL is also known to punch above their weight all the time - so would not have been surprised if they somehow won a couple of matches here and there, and if luck favored, quarter final or semi final. I also think that BD will regress to ZIM level soon - espacially with their ace players calling it a quit.

Sri lanka play spin on these slow turners so well,they play at the last moment mostly on the backfoot and rarely drive the ball.our batsmen have not learned this patient batting style.

[Frustrated]

Maxwell and Head are both IN for this game.  This is almost a full strength Aus side (except Cummins & Starc).

But it has ruined their cricket generally. Their batsmen struggle to make big runs on flat tracks and their bowlers cant bowl either. 

[Nikhil_cric]

Even when they don't have high ceiling bowlers - at least a couple of these Hardies, Dwarshuis, Abbott, Ellis, Bartlett type bowlers  will bowl 133-138 kph and consistently hit a good line and length.

Kamindu Mendis has had a horror run past few matches after a dream start to his career
