Sri Lanka Vs Australia ODI – 1st Final CB Series: Match Preview

Posted: 03 Mar 2012 04:53 AM PST


A woeful India out of the equation, Australia and Sri Lanka will battle it out in best-of-three finals with the spirited islanders well-equipped to upstage the hosts in the summit clashes starting tomorrow.

Mahela Jayawardene and his men have beaten Australia in three straight games and what’s more, have bowled them out thrice which should matter more now that the first final is on a pacy and bouncy strip.

Lasith Malinga is obviously the spearhead of Lankan ambitions and his slinging action has claimed 14 scalps so far in the tournament.

He recorded his series best of 4-49 last night to secure a thrilling nine-run win for his team in Melbourne and a passage to the finals.

Nuwan Kulasekara has been a source of strength at the other end with nine victims at an economy rate of 4.89 in the tournament.

Angelo Mathews (7) and Thisara Perera (9) have been more than adequate support at the other end though the latter will not be there tomorrow due to injury suffered in last night’s match.

Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath has been outstanding with his economy rate of 4.17 in six matches even though he has had no more than three wickets. He conceded 43 runs in his 10 overs for the wicket of James Pattinson in Melbourne.

Sri Lanka’s strength has been the solidity of their top order with all the top four looking more than good with the bat.

Young Dinesh Chandimal has been in fine nick with 383 runs at 63.83 average and a strike rate of 82.36. Every second innings of his in the tournament have been a score in excess of 50 run.

Jayawardene’s move to the top as an opener has been a masterstroke for his side. The Sri Lankan captain failed in the last match but he still has 297 runs at 42.42 average and a tremendous strike rate of 87.86.

Kumar Sangakkara has slowly picked up the threads and has 308 runs at 38.50. Opener Tillakaratne Dilshan has played the highest knock of the tournament — a mammoth 160 against India at Bellerive Oval, Hobart where he carried his bat through.

Sri Lankans are also blessed with athletic fielding.

Dilshan has been outstanding inside the ring and a few of the catches effected have been breathtaking — like David Warner’s catch at short cover and Sachithra Senanayake’s low catch off his own bowling last night.

The aggressive and imaginative captaincy of Jayawardene has also been the talking point of this tournament.

The Australians, on the other hand, haven’t been able to break the shackles imposed by the Lankans in this triangular series.

David Warner and Matthew Wade have been a disappointing presence at the top, scoring 195 and 214 runs at 24.37 and 26.75 average. Their best opening stand has been 70 against India at this very venue.

The innings has often been redeemed by David Hussey who tops the list with 412 runs at an average of 82.40 and a whopping strike rate of 104.56.

His elder brother Michael has often wasted fine starts and is presently languishing with 200 runs from seven matches at 28.57.

They wil be bolstered by the return of fit-again regular captain Michael Clarke while the young Peter Forrest inspires confidence with 247 runs at 41.16. Australia’s lower half hasn’t looked credible with Dan Christian alone striking 158 runs at 26.33.

Australia’s strength has been their work in the field. James Pattinson’s return has been fascinating and both Ben Hilfenhaus and Dan Christian have had a five-wicket haul against their names.

Left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty has an impressive economy rate of 4.20 and he also has had nine scalps at 29.66 average.

Clint McKay hasn’t done too badly either with 10 wickets and an economy rate of 4.78.

In many ways, Australia’s batting against Sri Lanka’s bowling holds the key to the finals. The latter should acquire that extra edge in favourable conditions of Gabba.(PTI)

Teams:

Australia (Probable): David Warner, Shane Watson, Michael Clarke (c), Michael Hussey, David Hussey, Matthew Wade(wk), Daniel Christian, Clint McKay, James Pattinson, Xavier Doherty, Ben Hilfenhaus.

Sri Lanka (Probable): Mahela Jayawardene(c), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara(wk), Dinesh Chandimal, Lahiru Thirimanne, Angelo Mathews, Thissara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Sachithra Senanayake, Lasith Malinga, Rangana Herath.

Pakistan squad for Asia Cup 2012 announced, Misbah retained as captain

Posted: 03 Mar 2012 04:28 AM PST


Senior batsman, Misbah-ul-Haq, was on Saturday retained as Pakistan captain for the upcoming Asia Cup, but the selectors have axed former skipper Shoaib Malik, Imran Farhat and Adnan Akmal for the four-nation tournament.

The PCB announced a 15-member squad for the Asia Cup with the selectors recalling opener Nasir Jamshed and wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed for the tournament that starts on March 11.

Newly-appointed chief selector, Iqbal Qasim said the team had been picked on merit and Nasir and Sarfaraz have been recalled because of their recent performances in domestic cricket.

“Since we have little time for the Asia Cup we have picked the best possible side and hopefully this will deliver in the event,” Qasim said.

There were calls for the board to remove Misbah from the captaincy after Pakistan lost the recently-concluded ODI and T20 series to England in UAE.

Misbah is battling an inconsistent form and has also been criticised for his defensive captaincy in the shorter format of the sport.

The PCB has already decided to replace interim coach, Mohsin Khan with Australian Dav Whatmore and an announcement to this effect is expected later on Saturday.

The exclusions of Malik, Farhat and wicketkeeper Adnan were on the cards as their selections had raised questions during the series in the UAE.

Left-arm pacer Junaid Khan, meanwhile, has been ruled out of the tournament due to a knee injury. (PTI)

Pakistan squad: Misbah-ul-Haq (C), Mohammad Hafeez, Nasir Jamshed, Younis Khan, Umar Akmal, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shahid Afridi, Hammad Azam, Saeed Ajmal, Abdul Rehman, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz and Aizaz Cheema.

Sri Lanka squad for Asia Cup 2012 announced

Posted: 03 Mar 2012 04:24 AM PST


Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath has been dropped from Sri Lanka’s 14-member squad for the Asia Cup, to be held in Dhaka from March 11 to 22.

Off-spinner Seekkuge Prasanna will take Herath’s place in the squad, to be led by Mahela Jayawardene.

Apart from Herath, pacers Dhammika Prasad and Chanaka Welegedara, who were part of the Sri Lankan squad for the ongoing tri-series in Australia, have also been dropped from the Asia Cup-bound team.

Fast bowler Suranga Lakmal makes a comeback into the squad after a long injury lay-off.

Lakmal, who last played for Sri Lanka during the ODI series against Pakistan in the UAE last November, returns to international cricket after fully recovering from an ankle injury.

The Sri Lankan selectors have also retained the three all-rounders — Farveez Maharoof, Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera — who picked up injuries during the tri-series.

Mathews has been named as Jayawardene’s deputy for the Asia Cup in which Sri Lanka kick off their campaign against India on March 13.

Squad:

Mahela Jayawardene (c), Angelo Mathews, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Kumar Sangakkara, Dinesh Chandimal, Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, Farveez Maharoof, Sachithra Senanayake, Nuwan Kulasekara, Lasith Malinga, Seekkuge Prasanna, Suranga Lakmal.

AB de Villiers: We would like to thank the ICC and the organizers for this series. I would like to thank the crowd as well as the fans back home. I know that NZ is a great team and they will bounce back. The boys were excellent.

Brendon McCullum: I would like to thank National Bank for their sponsorship. The crowd were great. The South Africans were too good for us. When you are up against good teams, you cannot afford to relax. We have learnt some lessons in the last week. We will learn from our mistakes and go forward. I cannot ask anything more from the boys.

de Lange does not speak much of English. He is comfortable in Afrikaans.

de Lange: I am enjoying playing here in New Zealand. It is awesome having Morne and Steyn around. My pace will be a bit more in the Test series.

Marchant de Lange is the MoM for his haul of 4/46.
