World Cup 2023 AUS vs SL: Every game almost like a final for Pat Cummins

Forced to treat every game as a final due to their awful start, skipper Pat Cummins on Sunday said Australia are fired up to perform against teams that they have done well against in the recent past. Australia were crushed by hosts India in their opener before stumbling to a 134-run defeat to South Africa on Thursday. The Men from Down Under find themselves in a precarious position to win at least six of their remaining seven games to make the semifinals. However, Cummins is not pressing the panic button just yet. "Looking back at 2019, India and South Africa were the two teams that we lost to in the round games there. In the last year, they're kind of the two teams that we've had the most trouble against. "So, the opportunity now is we've got some teams we haven't played for a while that we've had a lot of success against and be really confident when we go out there," Cummins said on the eve of the match against Sri Lanka here. Australia had entered the tournament on the back of

World Cup 2023 AUS vs SL Preview: Embattled Aussies face stuttering Lankans

Their house in complete disarray after consecutive defeats, Australia will look to wake up from their slumber and return to winning ways against an equally stuttering Sri Lanka in the World Cup here on Monday. Both teams are in search of their maiden win in the tournament. While Australia suffered humiliating losses against India and South Africa, Sri Lanka faltered against the Proteas and Pakistan. Australia have looked like a pale shadow of their dominant selves in this tournament. The five-time champions sit ninth in the 10-team league table owing to their horrendous Net Run Rate (-1.846), while the Lankans are 7th on the table with a NRR of -1.161. The Aussies desperately need to get their act together if they want to keep their fate in their own hands. But it is easier said than done. Australia have lost seven of their last eight ODIs comprehensively. During this tournament, they have performed poorly in all three departments of the game. The Men from Down Under have been ..

World Cup 2023: SL captain Shanaka ruled out, Karunaratne named replacement

Dealing a big jolt to Sri Lanka's floundering campaign in the World Cup, their captain Dasun Shanaka on Saturday was ruled out of the mega event with a right thigh muscle injury. Shanaka suffered the injury during their match against Pakistan on October 10, and he would take at least three weeks to recover, forcing the Lankans to seek a replacement, the ICC stated in a release. The ICC Event Technical Committee has approved Chamika Karunaratne as Shanaka's replacement. Sri Lanka have lost their opening two matches in the tournament to South Africa and Pakistan. The 32-year-old Shanaka had made a 62-ball 68 against South Africa in New Delhi when they chased an imposing 429. Karunaratne is a middle-order batter and right-arm medium pacer who has played 23 ODIs for the Islanders. The 27-year-old has taken 24 wickets from 23 matches and has scored 443 runs with a fifty.

A kick to the rear end is good ahead of WC: Sri Lanka coach Silverwood

Sri Lanka coach Chris Silverwood was disappointed by his team's meek outing in the Asia Cup final but said it was a timely wake up call for his side ahead of the ODI World Cup next month. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 50 after India pacer Mohammed Siraj grabbed six for 21, and the visitors romped to a 10-wicket win here on Sunday. We played very good cricket to get to the final. I think we have to regroup and put some confidence into the players. You know sometimes a bit of a kick to the rear end is not the worst thing before going into a big tournament, said Silverwood during the post-match press meet. Silverwood said the Lankan team needed to ask tough questions and try to move on from this defeat. It was a super bowling performance by India. We did not help ourselves either, and were disappointed with the way we finished. We have a big World Cup tournament coming, and we need to ask a few questions in the dressing room and move forward from this, he said. The Englishman underl
