WORLD CUP 2023: Sri Lanka Now in big trouble As it seems they may not even qualify for World Cup 2023: Sri-Lanka After losing the first match of the ODI series between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, Te qualification for the world cup 2023 for Sri Lanka seems in trouble. This would be the first time after 1975 that they failed to qualify for the world cup.

New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 198 runs in this series’s very first ODI match. The outstanding performance by Henry Shipley(had taken five wickets). His performance led the Sri Lankan player not to score more than 20 runs by any player.

This Would be the first time in the world cup after 48 years(12 appearances)

Sri Lanka is a team that needs no introduction, as the player they had produced throughout cricket history is phenomenal. We discuss Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Sanath Jayasuriya, Lasith malinga.

Sri Lanka, who had won the 1996 world cup under the captaincy of Arjuna Ranatunga, sets a perfect example to the countries where cricket has evolved less. Sri Lanka did not perform so well internationally during these years except in the Asia cup 2022, where they beat Pakistan in the final.

Sri Lanka still has a hope to retain their position

There are still two matches left in this ODI series which is going on in New Zealand. It would be hard for them to win these matches as the host side is relatively better than the Sri Lankan side, but As we know, In sports, We can’t say anything about a match only based on the paper presentation of a team. It’s all about the performance.

Sri Lankan batters must play good cricket as they are missed in this tour of Zea land. The bowling of the Sri Lanka side is good, but the batters, too, have to contribute to win the matches and hence win the series.
