Thought for the day

Its better to lose while making the right plays than to win while making the wrong plays.

In the long run, the right plays convert to consistent wins. And thats what matters. It just takes time to figure out those right plays.

Before the beginning of the world cup, I said that @dazmitchell47 would be one of the MVPs of the NZ team.

Glad to see I was right. What an innings.

Laid the spectre of the 2019 final to rest in style.

A key life lesson. Even for myself.

It doesn't matter how talented you are or how great your accomplishments are.

If you anger the wrong people with your conduct or actions, dont be surprised if you lose out on opportunities.

The best you can do is learn from it and improve

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

🇮🇳 - Expected more
WI- Expected more

I've been harsh on Pathum over the past few months in the shorter formats but I'm truly glad he played to his potential today

He is the star of our test cricket circuit

My concern was always his strike rate. He addressed it beautifully today

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

@Viren_Beru There's no doubt in Pathums ability. Its his strike rate thats the problem.

A guy like Pathum would be great if our guys are at their explosive best. Pathum to carry while KJP, BR, AF, DS, CKzone and Waniya go for it.

This is where we really miss Ramesh in the team.

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

World Champions!!

What an amazing run by Team Spirit.

Almost got knocked out in the qualifier finals

Had a rough day 1 in the Group Stage

Got dropped by IG in the first round.

And then ran through everyone, taking out the big teams.

Deserved World champions.

WE ARE THE INTERNATIONAL 10 CHAMPIONS 🐉

It was an amazing adventure. We thank all the fans for your support! We wouldn't be there without you. See you next season!

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

The best news of today is knowing how well @robbieuthappa played in the first qualifier #CSKvsDC.

His 63 off 44 kept CSK well and truly in the game.

Its been a tough few years, but it has paid off in a big way tonight.

Keep it coming Robin.

#CSKvDC

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

I hope I'm proven wrong.

IMHO, this isn't our best 15.

Pathum is our Test prodigy. His strike rate alone is a cause for concern in T20s. Kamindu got a raw deal.

Akila D. has not been in good form. Why has Ramesh been shafted?

What a fight!

Legendary series between these guys. Amazing. Just amazing.

Wilder was incredible today.

But @Tyson_Fury is a class apart.

Been with the Fury gang since Chisora 1, over ten years ago. Staying there until the journey is done.

#FuryWilderIII #FuryWilder3

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

Pretty good squad for the #ICCT20WorldCup2021.

I would have picked Ramesh Mendis over Akila D. That might end up costing us.

Hoping Bhanuka R gets back in form.

Ramesh was very unfortunate. I'm sure that he'll prove his value at the LPL

Nalin maama @NalinWelgama was incredible last night on Derana.

@murtazajaff was superb as well.

MJ made some excellent points about the macroeconomic state of Sri Lanka.

Nalin Maama spoke practically and pragmatically from a policy perspective.

A must watch. Was worth it.

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

@Viren_Beru One thing that I must commend @Mickeyarthurcr1 for, is his passion for nurturing our team.

I don't always agree with Mickey's decisions, especially past team selections, but I respect and admire his commitment and his drive for our cause.

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

It really hurts to hear this.

Big D brought us so many laughs and was the epicentre of many epic moments in some iconic games.

Here in Sri Lanka, we still, to this day, shoutout his legendary lines.

Lakad Matatag, my brother. Thanks for the memories.

[johnxfire @johnxfire]

Today is a day of great loss - an icon in Filipino casting that everyone has heard in-game, Aldrin Paulo "Dunoo" Pangan @iamdunoo has passed away. Dunoo's voice and call outs will always ring true to Dota fans everywhere, and his passing is a great loss for everyone.

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

Excellent showing by @Motivate_Trust in the playoff match against @NeonEsportsPH

Fearless played out of his mind. This is how he needs to play consistently

As always, big thanks to my guys @MLPDotA and @johnxfire

HBD to John's mom and a big thanks for birthing him. Real MVP

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

Alright. Here with my guys @MLPDotA and @johnxfire to watch @Motivate_Trust last group stage match.

MTG need a 2-0 and nothing else to have a chance at the upper bracket or tiebreakers.

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

Shoutout to @RaninduChess for the excellent showing at the 2021 Chess World Cup.

Bad luck to face Oparin first up and also being in Karjakin's (runner-up) bracket.

Good job, malli. This is just the beginning. Take SL chess to the next level. You'll be beating them soon.

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

Well, you guys are definitely the best duo to chill and watch games with in SEA. @MLPDotA and @johnxfire

Can't comment on the other stuff though haha (What Mike said at the end of Fnatic vs T1)

Analysing financial statements on one screen, your stream on the other. Good times

[Anouk Welgama Wimalaratna @TheAnoukWW]

Great to have @MLPDotA and @johnxfire back on commentary today. I like Black and Ares, but Mike and John are the G's.

Great comeback from SMG in Game 1. I thought it was over when SMG let AG pick Kunkka for Mamangdaya, but I was wrong. Incredible teamfights by SMG
