Sanga getting bogged down. RRR at 9 now.. something's gotta give.
doesn't matter. modern odis are all about wicket conservation then going bang. they can make this up. in fact if they had a reliable icing contingent they would be ahead imo.

They don't have a Maxwell.. SL have to keep it at ~9-10/over throughout.

exactly, which is why they need to keep wickets in hand. Mathews in from the 30-35th onwards is fine. the longer the big three bat the less you need chandimal, tharanga and perera to do.
Even the big 3 will have trouble getting 12-13/over..

in saying that maxwell needs to go. give yourself as much space as possible for cheap starc overs.

yup and they know it too

yeah well moral of the story is don't concede 376.

but going hard the whole way through doesn't work with two new white balls and with a top heavy line up risks ending the game in over 25. They still need to use their 50.

200 off 20 with 8 in hand.. treat it like a T20 and it doesn't seem that crazy.. especially with 2 batsmen in.

I guess if you had offered SL this position at the start of the innings they would have taken it. Still just about in the game but it a long shot.
