Winfield Sports deliver groundbreaking 3D VR Signage during the Indian tour of Sri Lanka – July 2021

Published

Winfield Sports (Pvt ) Limited, Sri Lanka’s premier sports branding and marketing organisation with a 22-year pedigree delivered another first and groundbreaking commercial 3D VR (Virtual) signage branding during the recently concluded Indian ODI and T20I Series in Sri Lanka. 3D VR was tested successfully during the “Nidahas Trophy” Tri Series in March 2018, and this was first in cricket globally. Another successful testing was done in Dheradun, India in June 2018 during Bangladesh and Afghanistan series. Soon after an opportunity was given to test at the ICC Women’s T20 WC, Antigua, West Indies in November 2018.

The highlight of their journey thus far has been the International Cricket Council (ICC) appointing Winfield Sports, Sri Lanka as their preferred vendor to deliver 3D Signs for ICC MT20 Qualifiers 2019 in the United Arab Emirates – October to November 2019 at two key International Cricket Stadiums. This made Winfield Sports the first and only Company in Sri Lanka to be engaged for an assignment of this nature by the ICC. It was a great achievement to be validated by ICC and the project was delivered successfully in compliance with all the strict protocols outlined. This is a giant step and needless to mention a big feather on their cap.

The team comprises of committed and passionate young robotic engineers who settle for nothing but the best. 6 years of tireless days and nights of research and development (R&D) is the result of presenting a truly and perfect 3D VR technology. Winfield VR is a home integrated technology and many features being developed to make it a preferred solution for Sponsors and Broadcasters. The continuance to improvise and include other finer points in taking this technology to the next level is now the key focus for the team.

3D VR technology is not limited to cricket but any other sport including other live or prerecorded events.

3D Virtual Signage is the way forward in this challenging and difficult period and addresses the many limitations presently faced. In implementing 3D VR signs the footprint at the venue is minimal and causes no harm or damage to the grass on the ground, ticking the essential box of being environmentally friendly. There is no impact due to adverse weather, no danger or hindrance to players and adds immense value to the Ground Right Holders, Broadcasters and Sponsors.

It opens many doors of opportunities to the Ground Advertising Rights Holder to have multiple sponsors and the invaluable flexibility of introducing the signage content an hour before play. 3D VR also provides the advantage to the sponsor in being able to replace signs at periodic intervals during the same match. The possibility of placing a total of eight or nine signs at the near end and good visibility for the far end signs as well.

Sri Lanka came up with a dominant show with both bat and ball to stage a strong comeback and level the three-match series against Afghanistan on Sunday (June 4). Having lost the first ODI, the hosts staged a commendable comeback with their top four laying the platform for a 300-plus total which was then defended with ease as Afghanistan fell short by 132 runs.

Brief scores:

Sri Lanka 323/6 in 50 overs (Kusal Mendis 78, Dimuth Karunaratne 52; Mohammad Nabi 2/52) beat Afghanistan 191 in 42.1 overs (Hashmatullah Shahidi 57, Ibrahim Zadran 54; Dhananjaya de Silva 3/39) by 132 runs

Led by a fine half-century from Kusal Mendis, Sri Lanka put up a collective effort to post 323/6 having opting to bat against Afghanistan in the second ODI at Hambantota on Sunday (June 4).

Having suffered a heavy defeat in the opening game of the series, the Lankans needed to bounce back strongly. The foundation for a big score was set up by openers Dimuth Karunaratne and Pathum Nissanka whose 82-run stand set the tone for the innings. Although they fell in quick succession, Mendis kept the momentum going with good support from Sadeera Samarawickrama, with the pair adding 88 for the third wicket.

There was a mini-collapse towards the end but the trio of Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga and Dhananjaya de Silva ensured that the hard work of the top order batters didn’t go to waste. The final six overs produced 68 runs as the hosts got an above-par total on a used surface. Unlike the first ODI, Afghanistan’s bowlers lacked the bite with the spinners being surprisingly inept.

It appears to be another fine batting surface but with the track being used once already, it is on the slower side and the Sri Lankan spinners should get some purchase.

Brief scores:

Sri Lanka 323-6 (Kusal Mendis 78, Dimuth Karunaratne 52, Nabi 2-52, Fareed 2-61) vs Afghanistan

Gundogan scores brace as Man City beat Man United to win FA Cup

Manchester City’s mission to win a treble of major trophies stayed on track after beating Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final, with the first of Ilkay Gundogan’s two goals coming after just a record 13 seconds.

With City having already retained the Premier League, now only a first-ever Champions League title stands between Pep Guardiola’s team and immortality in English football.

Gundogan, City’s captain, scored the quickest goal in an FA Cup final on Saturday – timed by British broadcaster BBC at 12.91 seconds – only for United midfielder Bruno Fernandes to convert a 33rd-minute penalty against the run of play after Jack Grealish was adjudged to have handled the ball.

If Gundogan’s opener was probably his best goal for City, his 51st-minute winning goal might be one of his scrappiest as he met a cross from Kevin De Bruyne from a free kick with a left-foot volley that bobbled between two United defenders and past goalkeeper David de Gea.

United were looking to protect their proud status as the only team to win the league-FA Cup-European Cup treble, in 1999, but now need a favour from Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul on June 10.

It was the 142nd FA Cup final and the first between the two Manchester clubs, with Prince William and United great David Beckham among those in attendance at England’s national stadium.
