Women's T20 WC, IND vs SL Preview: Will India register a big vs Sri Lanka?

On a sticky wicket after a mixed start to the campaign, India will look to fix their batting woes to bolster their net run rate when they take on bottom-placed Sri Lanka in their third and penultimate Group A match of the T20 Women's World Cup here on Wednesday. It has not been smooth sailing for the Indians in the showpiece event so far, having lost to New Zealand by 58 runs in their tournament-opener and then scampering home in 18.5 overs against arch-rivals Pakistan while chasing a modest 105. India's main problem in the tournament so far is the performance of their batters, especially the explosive opening combination of Shafali Verma and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana. While Shafali scored just 2 and 32 in the first two games, Mandhana also faired poorly managing 12 and 7 runs. And it's time the duo fires in unison to ease the pressure on the middle-order. To make matters worse for India, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored 15 and 29 retired hurt, is doubtful for the match aga

Sri Lanka board set to extend Sanath Jayasurya's contract as head coach

Sanath Jayasuriya is poised to have his contract as the head coach of the Sri Lanka men's cricket team extended for another year, following a successful interim period marked by notable victories.Since taking over in early July, Jayasuriya has led the team to a series win against India in ODIs, a Test victory at The Oval, and another Test win in Galle against New Zealand.Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) had advertised for a permanent head coach following Chris Silverwood's departure in late June.However, with the significant improvements observed under Jayasuriya's leadership, the board is now moving towards securing him on a long-term basis."We are in the final stages of negotiating the contract with him," said SLC CEO Ashley de Silva to ESPNcricinfo."Probably in the next two or three days you will hear more," he added, as per quoted by ESPNcricinfo.Initially appointed as a cricket consultant in December last year, Jayasuriya's role was primarily focused on working with the High Performance ..

New Zealand collapse in 2nd Test against Sri Lanka, nearing unwanted record

New Zealand are teetering on the brink of their heaviest defeat in Tests after being forced to follow on in the second Test against Sri Lanka on Saturday. Following a devastating morning session in Galle where Sri Lanka claimed eight wickets, the tourists were asked to follow on, trailing by a staggering 514 runs. Things only worsened for the Blackcaps, who lost opener Tom Latham before lunch in the second innings. New Zealand still need an improbable 511 runs on a turning Galle pitch just to avoid an innings defeat. New Zealand's worst-ever defeat was by an innings and 324 runs against Pakistan in 2002 and it would appear a record under threat here given the little resistance New Zealand's batters have offered against Sri Lanka's masterful spin attack. Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya dominated the first innings, taking six wickets for 42 runs, while debutant off-spinner Nishan Peiris was an impressive supporting act, claiming three scalps before dismissing Latham i
