Iftikhar goes bang for 6 now.

 

[NYRB]

How does it work out that this game was supposed to start at 5:30PM AWST, and the team batting 1st is still batting at 11:46PM AWST?

Sri Lanka 12/6 after 6.0 overs

 

[Plugger35]

Woeful batting scorecard from Sri Lanka, only Mendis making it into double figures so far.

 

[Cleavy]

8/49 currently. still inside the first 15 overs

 

[Cleavy]

50 all out. going to be a tough ask with the required run rate of 1.02 rpo

 

[NYRB]

wow Sri Lanka bowled out for 50.

 

[Santana]

India should have saved that bowling performance for the world cup

 

[NYRB]

From Cricbuzz:

"
All out in fewest overs by a Full Member team
13.5 Zim vs Afg Harare 2017
15.2 SL vs Ind Colombo RPS 2023 *
15.4 Zim vs SL Colombo RPS 2001
16.5 SL vs Pak Sharjah 2002
15.2 overs is the fewest overs in which a team has been bowled out in an ODI final surpassing Sri Lanka's 16.5 overs against Pakistan in Sharjah in 2002."

 

[Santana]

21 over match.

Tickets were probably quite a bit
