The Murali End

Quite the resume! We have the incoming Sri Lanka and World Cup-winning coach, Gary Kirsten, on the show today! Why did he choose the job? What about the fitness of the cricketers? Selection? And, can he help Sri Lanka win the World Cup?

Dominic Machado asks the burning questions.

What are your thoughts on the South African's appointment?

Will he do well as the new Sri Lanka Cricket head coach?

Where does Sri Lanka go from here? New Zealand hammered them by 61 runs in Colombo, ending the co-hosts' tournament. Matt Henry got Pathum Nissanka on the first ball, and Sri Lanka crawled to just 20 runs in the powerplay, which is their worst T20 World Cup start ever, ICC Cricket. Rachin Ravindra ripped through with 4/27 Business StandardTimes Of Sports, including two stumpings.

They folded for 107/8. New Zealand posted 168/7 after Santner (47*) and McConchie (31*) smashed 84 runs for the seventh wicket. Three losses, zero points in the Super Eights. 

Anton Roux and others join us in this gloomy edition of the Murali End.

The Murali End review all the action from Sri Lanka's 2nd World Cup fixture against Oman. 
Sri Lanka, co-hosts of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in Sri Lanka and India, put up a massive 225-5 batting first against Oman at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in their Group B match. Their innings featured big contributions, including a blistering half-century from captain Dasun Shanaka. Oman’s chase struggled, with their batting lineup collapsing under pressure from disciplined Sri Lankan bowling. Sri Lanka dominated almost every phase of this game to take firm control of the fixture.

Mark Machado is joined by Anton Roux, Estelle Vasudevan and Kavinka Fernando.
