Sri Lanka lost two matches against England and recently two matches won from Ireland. From now it looks like the Srilankan cricket team got a lot of confidence after gaining two historic victories.
In the opening ODI of the Royal London series between England and Sri Lanka at Trent Bridge, Liam Plunkett struck a six off the last ball of an amazing match to force a draw. England’s No. 10 Plunkett walked to the bat with his team needing 52 runs from the final 26 balls to win. Furthermore, as the asking rate increased to 30 from the last two overs, it appeared that the equation had become too much to handle in the face of some outstanding death bowling.
However, Plunkett and Chris Woakes both hit a boundary in the penultimate over, which resulted in a total of 16. After the duo skittered seven off the first five balls of the final over, England needed six from the last ball to win the match. Despite being remarkably reliable at hitting yorkers up until that point, Nuwan Pradeep fell a few inches short, allowing Plunkett to open his shoulders and launch a powerful drive that bounced back over the bowler’s head and into the pavilion.
For a Sri Lankan squad who looked to be winning this match on many occasions, it may not be much comfort right now, but maybe later on they will look back with pride at their contribution to an amazing encounter and an excellent promotion of the 50-over format. And maybe, eventually, they will laugh at this reminder of the charming oddities of this great game: hours of unrelenting labor on both sides, together with countless heroic performances.
Led to the same outcome as though the rain that has plagued these areas had never stopped. Woakes and Jos Buttler’s record-breaking stand laid the groundwork for the dramatic climax. After England was down to 82 for 6, Buttler and Woakes combined to add 138 off 149 balls, the highest seventh-wicket partnership in ODI cricket permitted by Sri Lanka and the second-highest total, to give their team genuine prospects of a victory that seemed unattainable an hour or two ago.
This was not the showy Buttler to which we are starting to become used. Coming to the crease with his team struggling at 30 for 4, he played himself in while making sure the run rate was just about within reach, rather than initiating a counterattack or attempting to unleash the full diversity of his strokes. His 17th delivery yielded his maiden boundary, a shot that sailed dangerously near to Farveez Maharoof at mid-off.
His lifetime strike rate of 117.23 was far higher than his final strike rate of 93.93. Rather, here was a more experienced Buttler who blended his wide range of strokes with quick thinking and well-chosen shots. However, England still needed 67 from 7.3 overs, and it seemed their drive had lost momentum when Buttler was beautifully caught on the long-on boundary by Dasun Shanaka – timing his jump precisely and yet managing to keep himself from going over the line – for a well-paced 93.
After David Willey, who had swung wildly and made little contact, failed to maintain the momentum, it looked as though England’s last opportunity had also failed when he went – a wicket that was only confirmed after many replays by the TV umpire ruled that Maharoof had not over-stepped. However, Woakes led the charge with his first half-century at the ODI or List A levels.
Despite the fact that he only managed two boundaries in his first fifty runs and only four in his whole innings, he raced so quickly and produced so many runs that England was able to stay in the chase. Plunkett joined Woakes, and the two scored nine runs from the 47th over, ten from the 48th, and sixteen from the 49th, leaving just 14 needed from the final over. It was a good performance from a man who may not have played if Ben Stokes had been fit.
In addition to winning Man-of-the-Match, Woakes also broke the previous record for the highest score ever achieved by a player ranked eight or lower in ODI cricket history. He displayed the calm and soft-spoken steel that the England management has long recognized as the kind of attributes they want in the side, seemingly unfazed by the demands of the pursuit or the fuss made of him afterwards.
This performance, which was won by two wickets and a polished bowling stint, may go down in history as Woakes’ coming-of-age moment. It appeared like Angelo Mathews’ expertise would be the deciding factor between the teams until Woakes and Buttler stepped in. In the first six overs of the England innings, Mathews took wickets of Joe Root and Jason Roy after his composed 73.
While it’s common knowledge that aggressive batting and quick bowling are essential for success in today’s limited-overs cricket, Mathews’ nearly risk-free accumulation and medium-pace from wicket to wicket proved useful in this instance. When Mathews arrived to the crease with his team behind by three wickets in the first nine overs of the game, he reasoned that a time of consolidation rather than attack would be more beneficial for his team.
It took 16.5 overs for Dinesh Chandimal and Mathews to put up 64 for Sri Lanka’s fourth wicket, despite Adil Rashid’s well-managed stint costing just 36 runs. Upon Chandimal’s top-edging of a sweep, it appeared that Sri Lanka could have trouble scoring at all. Thus, Sri Lanka was appreciative of Seekkuge Prasanna’s encouragement. In a 68-run fifth-wicket partnership with Mathews, he contributed 59 runs, smashing a 24-ball half-century that included 48 boundaries in the process.
At one point, when Sri Lanka thrashed 49 in three overs, he hammered 44 off 12 deliveries, including four sixes in five off Plunkett and Moeen Ali. Having decided to start the game with Jonny Bairstow as his additional batter, Eoin Morgan probably wished he could have used a spare bowler. Despite being four down in the first nine overs of their reply, England’s final total appeared to be more than enough, despite the fact that it was on a good batting surface (remarkably good considering the terrible weather that had befallen the area over the previous ten days).
However, because to Mathews’ hamstring issue, which forced him off the field early in England’s reply, Sri Lanka had to make up not just his overs but also, maybe, some of the composure that experience may have given his teammates. As Sri Lanka’s fielding withered under strain and England’s confidence increased, Sri Lanka began to appear vulnerable.
Ultimately, Plunkett delivered the outstanding conclusion that this excellent game merited. This England team is undoubtedly problematic, given its fairly sparse bowling attack and seemingly frail top order. However, they appear to be playing with greater belief and passion every month and they are unable to recognize when they are defeated. There will be a lot more entertainment in the upcoming years.
