Sri Lanka U20 National Discussions

Great start to the tour, good NRR boost as well.
aren't your bowler ages a bit suspicious? de Mel (21.1), Jayasekera (21.1), Perera (21.0)

They were 20.14 at selection

I'm convinced

Great job so far on this tour with 3 wins and one loss...same sequence we had with the seniors WLWW so far.
Nice position to be in: 3 teams with 12 points and they other two play each other.

This means win and you're up. Lose and its an NRR battle. So lose narrowly and you may well go up too especially if South Africa win the other game.

Sri Lanka U20's Dominant.


A win guarantees promotion, a draw guarantees promotion. A loss and we might promote.

Thanks to all supporters of Sri Lanka U20 and hopefully tonight, the team will deliver!

Tough week with a couple of big defeats.
Maybe the result of a young team - T20 is where experience and other secondaries (power!) are really important.
