West Indian Women Cricketers trounced by the Sri Lanka Women’s Squad-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis While most cricketing fans may be focusing on the T20 World Cup matches in the Caribbean and USA, the female West Indian cricketers have been ‘holidaying’ in Sri Lanka. Or rather, thus far, they have faced the mighty Sri Lankan ladies in three 50-over matches in the south-eastern corner of the island: at the grounds in Hambantota abutting the wild life park at Yala and a vibrant coastline. Kavisha Dilhari Sachini Nishansala Whether the latter distractions proved to be debilitating, I cannot say. But they have been well and truly ‘distracted’ and rolled over by the Sri Lankan ladies. The summary scorelines of the three matches played thus far are as follows ODI ONE: SL women won …. after Windies [asked to bat] totalled 193 runs, a target which the hosts secured in 35 overs for the loss of 4 wkts. ...

Australia storm into Super Eight with Namibian demolition. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.

Wins over Oman, arch rivals England and sweeping past Namibia has signalled the Aussies as a serious contender with India, South Africa and Pakistan. West Indies and the US at home, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will be no pushovers too and pose a surprise package to upset the fancied teams. Australia blasted Namibia out of the contest early in the game thanks to a mesmerising spell from Adam Zampa who had their batters in a spin.

Rain flushes out Sri Lanka hopes of Super Eight ‘miracle’ as Nepal game abandoned in Miami. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) A torrential downpour in Miami flushed Sri Lanka’s glimmer of hope down the storm water drains in the US as an abandoned game confirmed their disappointing exit from the T20 World Cup. Winless and clinging on to hope of two wins against the minnows and other results going their way, the weather gods chose to step in and put their aspirations to rest. There’s no doubt that this was a disastrous campaign and no amount of excuses will provide solace for a team not with it in this format. Sri Lanka’s Sports Minister Harin Fernando was quick to defend the team back in Colombo stating that they were hard done by, and blaming social media for the negative responses from Sri Lanka cricket ...
