When Srilanka embarked on the journey of test cricket , many teams set records against us. It was the same with Bangladesh . This is the reality . Ireland will improve as they get more chances in future. New corners will get more chances to improve

Maldives is a good team. All teams are good. It's the question of who plays better cricket. So if Maldives plays better cricket, then they can win against any team. A great example of good team playing better cricket is Sri Lanka in the recent T20 Asia cup (2022). In terms of batting rankings and bowlers, both India and Pakistan had the upper hand against Sri Lanka. But Sri Lanka played better cricket and won the title for the 6th time.
