Sri Lanka's home ODI record since the wreckage of the 2023 World Cup has been a study in quiet efficiency.

Sri Lanka's RPS blueprint

in the last 18 months, Sri Lanka have accounted for Australia and India and a win over England in the remaining two ODIs will complete wins over the big three.

Ninth place in India and an early Champions Trophy exit could have sent the wheels spinning, but instead the hosts have responded by turning their backyard into a fortress. Since then, Sri Lanka have played seven ODI series at home and won all of them. These are not against minnows, but against the heavyweights, including World Cup finalists Australia and India.

Beat England again on Saturday and within the space of 18 months, the so-called Big Three would have been ticked off one by one.

Barrels vs bombs

War and politics are full of uncertainties and surprises. When one heard US President Donald Trump bragging that the US and Israel had won the war against Iran at the end of the third day of bombing itself, one was reminded of US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a former Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe during World War II, and his realistic assessment of war.
