Match Preview
In the 10th game of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup Qualifiers, it is going to be SL vs US at Bulawayo.
Furthermore, talking about their previous games, then Sri Lanka beat the Netherlands comfortably by three wickets.
However, they faltered in the second innings as the Netherlands had almost won the game.
The Dutch were very much into the game but Sri Lanka managed to pull off a heist.
But, skipper Shanaka’s fiery 67 from 52 balls ensured that the Lankan Lions won the contest with 12.5 overs left.
Still, they need to look into their weak areas and prepare themselves better against the United States.
Meanwhile, the United States lost to Ireland in their last game even after putting up 312 runs on the board.
For the US, it was Aaron Jones and Saiteja Mukkamalla who scored 89 and 44 runs respectively that allowed their team to post a high total on the board.
However, Harry Tector’s 149 from 123 balls allowed Ireland to cross the target easily.
Thus, today’s game between these two sides is going to be an excellent one.
