New Zealand shows doom to Lankan lions World Cup 2019

Before starting match there is only one question in most of us mind. Could Sri Lankan capture its previous prey the high spirited black caps this time also in their opening match of world cup 2019?  Sri Lanka which are not in a good form and waiting for a good series win from a long time seems in a tight pressure as facing the New Zealand.

Sri Lanka is not looking as good as it was earlier since the last World Cup 2015, with almost a completely new and different side. Senior member like pacer Lasith Malinga, Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera only shows the side with some positive elements. The side is clearly missing the charm of earlier high class performer like Kumar Sangakara, Mahela Jayawardene, Muthiah Muralitharan and few others.

New Zealand the runners up of the last time world cup 2015, still proves them as a good side which continuously showing a high class performance since the last world cup.  The power of Martin Guptill, Colin Munro and Ross Taylor with brilliantly led by Kane Williamson will give black caps a perfect side with the advantage like pace attack Matt Henry, Tim Southe and Trent Boult.

Kiwis is still waiting for their maiden world cup. On previous occasion the black caps were beaten by the Lankan lions twice in a back to back Semi Final in 2007 and 2011, but as the time changes so the fortune and black caps just do that change the pages of history this time. They beat Sri Lanka convincingly in this World Cup by 10 wickets. Lankan don’t have any reply for Kiwis bowlers Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson used the green deck beautifully and dismissed them on 136. Lankan looked pale yellow with their poor show. Later on, Martin Guptil and Colin Munro clinical batting display splashed water on Lankan rest little hope. Sri Lanka didn’t grab their early chances which let them down in the field.

So lets watch out, Kiwis are not any more prey for Lankan lions and run safely without clutching under the claws of the lions. Lankan lions are on the verge of stop roaring any more. They looked down and sluggish and disheartened with poor display at the world cup stage. Is doom really arriving for the Lankan lions or they will change their fate with their cards. Watch out!!
