Jaipur: The Australian team is currently on a Sri Lankan tour. The second ODI of the 2 ODI series between Sri Lanka and Australia will be played in Colombo tomorrow. After a 2-0 clean sweep in the Test series, the hosts Sri Lanka retaliated and defeated Australia by 49 runs in the first ODI. Despite being low-scoring, Sri Lanka showed the best bowling and brought the Kangaroos to the knee. However, even after this victory, a tightness between the Sri Lankan team and their fans will be necessary, as the Sri Lankan team has not been able to qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025. This will be the first time when two former champion teams will not appear in the Champions Trophy, West Indies and Sri Lanka teams.

Earlier, the Sri Lankan team could not even play the entire 50 overs in the first ODI and was all out for 215 runs in 46 overs. Team captain Charit Asanka held a front from one side and played a unique innings of 127 runs off 126 balls alone.

Actuals were the heroes of victory, heavy on the Kangaroos

During this time, Asanka also hit 14 fours and 5 sixes. Chasing the target of 215 runs, the Kangaroo team continued to fall continuously in the prescribed interval and the entire team fell for 165 runs in just 33.5 overs. In this match, Sri Lanka, his fast bowler Mahesh Tishta, presented a deadly bowling view and in 9.5 overs bowling, 4 batsmen for only 40 runs with 1 over maiden showed the path of the pavilion to 4 batsmen. In such a situation, now Sri Lanka's team would like to win the ODI series on the Kangaroos by winning the second ODI match. So that the clean sweep received in the test can be repaid from the ODI series.

Sri Lanka became champion 23 years ago

Talking about the performance of the Sri Lanka team so far in the Champions Trophy, Sri Lanka and India were jointly declared winners in the third edition of the Champions Trophy in 2002. During that time the finals were played for two days but both the finals were canceled and then both teams were declared joint winners. At the same time, the winner of the Champions Trophy held in England in 2004 became the West Indies team. The West Indies then defeated the host England and captured this prestigious trophy. However, both teams will definitely eat fans in Sri Lanka and West Indies.
