I really appreciate the performance of Khulna Tigers. The first partnership enter in stadium and they come out after winning match. Durdanto Dhaka is little bit weak in this league. They only collected 130 runs in 20 overs and lost 9 wickets. Bowling was also good from KT. Especially if you will see the Muhammad Nawaz performance. He collected 3 wickets for 15 runs. He is the player of the match too. Excellent performance KT and congratulations.  It's pure humiliation for Durdanto Dhaka. They lost the match by 10 wickets, and with 32 balls remaining. And all this after the first wicket partnership between Saim Ayub and Mohammad Naim put up 75 runs for the first wicket. From a relatively strong position of 75/0 after 8.5 overs, Dhaka ended up at just 130/9. In 11 overs, Dhaka could add just 55 runs, and lost 9 wickets. Mohammad Nawaz was unplayable and returned figures of 4-0-15-3. Mohammad Wasim was even more economical and had figures of 4-0-13-2. |

Without Kohli, Jadeja, Rahul being there, now it feels like a youngsters team. Washington is perfect replacement for Jadeja, I don't think anyone else could replace him better. Sarfraz Khan, I have heard his name and watched him in Delhi Capitals, wasn't impressed, let's see how he does here. Don't think Saurabh will get chance while a Kuldeep is there.
Patidar better get chance in playing XI in 2nd test. Kuldeep Yadav in all probability will replace Ravindra Jadeja. Saurabh Kumar and Washington Sundar have been added to the squad, but chances are that they may not get a place in the playing XI. One of them may find a place in case Indian selectors opt for just one pacer. Saurabh Kumar is a well known name in Indian domestic circuit, and recently performed well against the England Lions. And it is a straight battle between Rajat Patidar vs Sarfaraz Khan to replace KL Rahul. IMO, Patidar will be a better choice given Sarfaraz's lack of consistency. |

Today Three matches of the Super Six will be played where India U19 will face New Zealand U19. Sri Lanka U19 will face West Indies U19 and Pakistan U19 will face Ireland U19.
These three matches are likely to be tightly contested matches between Sri Lanka U19 and West Indies U19 but the competition between the remaining two teams will not be as intense as between Sri Lanka U19 and West Indies U19. Not very sure about the India vs New Zealand match. The Kiwis lost their group phase against Pakistan by a margin of 10 wickets (after being bowled out for just 140 runs). Indian attack is equally strong, and in case they are betting first I am not expecting New Zealand to put up a challenging total. Also, I don't know how challenging the Ireland vs Pakistan match will be. Pakistan is in top form, and Ireland has struggled till now. Their only win came against the United States. They lost to India by a massive margin of 201 runs. |

In the first game which is between India U19 vs New Zealand U19 the odds favor India. I do agree with it as the Kiwis are not that good against the Indian bowling and batting depth. What makes India a strong team is its very good middle order. What makes India a good bowling side is its spin attack which the Kiwis struggle with.
Second match Sri Lanka U19 vs West Indies U19, West Indies are the favorite to win and they are a far better team than Srilanka. The last match between Pakistan U19 vs Ireland U19, we know which team is the favorite to win and there should not be any question about it. I am a bit confused about all this. Why there is no India vs Pakistan match there in Super6? Tomorrow, there is a match between India and New Zealand, and on 2nd February there is one between India and Nepal. But there is no match against Pakistan. Why is this? 3 teams qualified from Group B (Pakistan, New Zealand and Nepal). So ideally Group A teams (including India) should play against all three from Group B, right? On the other hand, Pakistan will play against Ireland and Bangladesh (30th January and 3rd February respecitvely). |

Bad news for India.
Rahul and Jadeja are ruled out from the 2nd test match due to quadriceps pain and hamstring respectively. Would have been better if Gill and Iyer were the injured ones lol Btw replacements are Sarfaraz (finally haha). Sundar and Saurabh Kumar.
Given his extended bowling spells, it was just a matter of time before Ravindra Jadeja got injured. Let's not forget the fact that he's already 35 years old. I would say the same thing about Ravichandran Ashwin as well, as he is 37 now. Jadeja bowled a total of 52 overs in the first test, followed by Ashwin at 50 overs. Axar and the seamers were underutilized by India. And it would be better if India goes to the second test with just one pace bowler. Mohammed Siraj bowled a total of 11 overs in the first test. What is the point in including him to the playing XI? |

I am going to tell you how Tagenarine Chanderpaul was out in the second innings. He was safe but Hazlewood convinced to Pat Cummins to take a review and he took and I think it was a very good judgement for them.
It was an out swing + air swing and this type of ball can't be played by Tagenarine Chanderpaul. He tried to hit on the leg side because he thought it was a wide yorker but when the balls came closer so he judged that it was not a wide yorker so he fastly moved back his foot and forward to the bat but the bat's edge touched and went to keeper's hands but the umpire did not see that it was out , so for this they took a review.
Luck was with the Australians. But that doesn't mean that Tagenarine Chanderpaul performed decent enough. So far in this series, he has been pathetic. A lot was expected from him, given his recent form and family background. But it seems now that this series may put his career at risk. And that doesn't mean that other West Indian batsmen performed any better. None of them could get to a century. Only Kavem Hodge and Joshua Da Silva in the first innings and Kirk McKenzie in the second made decent contributions with the bat. |

Pakistan won the match against New Zealand by 10 wickets, and whenever any team won Pakistan won by 10 wickets so I just remember the 2021 match of Pakistan vs India when how Babar Azam and Rizwan finished the game of the Indian team and after that match Buveshkumar career has been finished, but this tie we will see this in under 19 against New Zealand under 19 team and from this match Pakistan team won all the matches that they played in this World Cup in group stages.
This was a wonderful match, this time Shamyl Hussain and Shahzaib Khan finished the game of New Zealand, Pakistan team loves to play against New Zealand. New Zealand is a small country with a population of around 4 million. At senior level, they are able to compete against the top teams, partly due to influx of players from South Africa, India and some of the other countries. But at U19 level, I don't think that they have this advantage. On the other hand, Pakistan has a youthful population and a huge player pool. So the outcome of this match is not very surprising for me. Anyway, both the teams have qualified for the Super6 phase. Let's see how they perform at this stage. |

Rehan and Hartley were rather expensive for test cricket, don't you think? While Leach and Wood were significantly inexpensive, only Root was one who was good both economically and also took wickets.
Being expensive is OK. But it is important to take wickets. My issue is that both these bowlers had combined figures of 49-4-236-4. If not for Joe Root, India could have easily made a total of 500-550. England tried the same tactic used by Australia when they toured India last time. They included inexperienced spinners such as Todd Murphy and Matthew Kuhnemann in the playing XI and actually it worked quite well. But Rehan and Hartley were unable to repeat the success of Murphy/Kuhnemann. They just don't have the same quality. |

Durdanto Dhaka team performed very badly as I can see the list of players total five players got out for zero runs. One player only Ross scored 51 runs and rest of the players performed poorly. It is never possible to survive by competing with the Rangpur Riders team with mind-blowing performances. That's why I consider Durdanto Dhaka team as a low class team as their performance has been discussed by many. The batting line and bowling line are so weak that the players of the Dhaka team seem very insignificant to other players. Dhaka team has been ranked 6th in the points table. Considering the team totals so far in this season of the BPL, the target set by Rangpur Riders was a bit too much for Durdanto Dhaka. Babar Azam lead from the front, and then Brandon King, Nurul Hasan and Azmatullah Omarzai all made good contributions. And I was actually surprised with the tactics being employed by the Dhaka captain (Mosaddek Hossain). He have just two overs to his best bowler (Taskin Ahmed), while allowing inexperienced players such as Alauddin Babu to complete their full quota of 4 overs. |

A 10-wicket win is a huge achievement for the Pakistan U19 team. In this match, the Pakistan U19 team fans were surprised by the impressive batting of the two openers of the Pakistan U19 team. Pakistan U19 team players dominated this match from start to finish. First, the bowling of the Pakistan U-19 team was able to wound the New Zealand U-19 team for 140 runs. As the bowlers of Pakistan U19 team continued to destroy the batsmen of New Zealand U19 team one by one, the players of Pakistan U19 team started to accumulate more energy in their minds. The Pakistan U19 team became so formidable that it caused failure for the New Zealand U19 team. The biggest failure of New Zealand U19 team, Pakistan U19 team, could not break the pair of two openers. The advantage with age group teams of sub-continental nations such as India and Pakistan is that many of their U19 players already have first class experience (and in some cases even international experience). Historically Pakistan has performed really well in the U19 world cup, and in turn this tournament has produced a disproportionate number of future international players for Pakistan. But all that said, I will not consider Pakistan as one of the favorites in this tournament. IMO, they rank lower than India and Australia at the moment. |

Victory for Pakistan team by 10 wickets in this match. Seven bowlers used by kiwis and none was able to pick any wicket. NZ lost 4 early wickets but then there is 61 runs partnership between Lachlan Stackpole and Oliver Tewatiya that raise chances of NZ giving big target. Once this partnership was broken by Naveed wickets start falling once again and whole NZ team got out for just 140 runs in 38 overs.
Anyway, both Pakistan and New Zealand have qualified for Super6 phase along with Nepal in Group D. But in Super6, they will face tough opposition, including India and Bangladesh. In the other Super6 group, the competition is even tougher, with teams like Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies, South Africa and England. Zimbabwe is the only weak team in this group. So far looking at the group phase matches, India and Australia have the highest chances of winning the trophy. England and South Africa also have good chances. |

Ben is not bowling in this test because he is recovering from knee operation. Now England is playing with only one fast bowler which is Mark wood. England have done quite good in second innings because of Ollie Pope 148 runs innings. England lead is 126 runs on completion of day 3. England avoided innings defeat but test defeat is still inevitable. While India was bowling, Jasprit Bumrah picked up a few crucial wickets. If England had one more pacer apart from Mark Wood, then they could have been more successful. Even Stokes's part-time pace would have made an impact. In India's innings, out of the 121 overs, only 17 overs were bowled by pacers. The pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad may be supportive of spin, but England lacked any variety in spin department. And then Indians are among the world's best while facing spin bowling. |

The match between Joburg Super Kings and Pretoria Capitals has been delayed as a result of rain in SA20. Faf du Plessis was looking in great shape with 25 from just 12 balls. And this was after Super Kings lost two wickets (those of Reeza Hendricks and Leus du Plooy). JSK are at the bottom of the points table at this point, with just one win from 6 matches. Pretoria is not in good health either, as they have won just 2 out of the 6 matches. And if this match gets washed out, it benefits no one. I am disappointed with JSK's performance so far. They have some great players such as Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, David Wiese and Nandre Burger.

Very disappointing day for the associate nations at the ICC Under-19 World Cup. In the first match, Namibia made a decent total of 146/8 against Zimbabwe Under-19s, but then lost that match by 8 wickets. I was expecting Namibia to win, as they have performed well against Zimbabwe in recent times. They lost the opportunity to qualify for the Super6 phase. The other disappointing match was the one between Scotland and South Africa. Scotland worked very hard to set up a target of 270. But South Africa managed to reach there in just 27 overs.

If England can bat well in the first innings, then it may not be possible to stay ahead. Although at the moment, England team has lost 6 wickets, and they have only 4 wickets left for today. India has given a lead of 126 runs, but if they can collect a little more runs tomorrow, then England will have a chance. Anyway, I think India will not win so easily and India will definitely beat England at their home ground. England team will not be able to bat so well, but India team will definitely fulfill the target given by England and bring victory to their team.
The fact that they avoided an innings defeat by itself is an achievement. They had only two experienced bowlers with them - Mark Wood and Jack Leach. And I don't consider Leach as a world class bowler. And most of the heavy lifting was done by the two inexperienced spinners - Rehan Ahmed and Tom Hartley. If experienced bowlers like Anderson and Woakes were playing in this match, then I suspect that England would have been in a better position. And why Ben Stokes is not bowling in this match? Is he injured? |

Anyone following West Indies vs Australia? A lot was talked about Tagenarine Chanderpaul before this series. But so far has has turned out to be a big disappointment. In the first test, he got out for 6 and 0. And in the second test he made 21 and 4. He has made a total of 31 runs from 4 innings. Two decades ago, Ramnaresh Sarwan had a similar disastrous tour of Australia. Tagenarine's struggles remind me of that era. Anyway, West Indies has performed better than what was expected from them so far in the second test.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Russia manages to occupy all of Ukraine? I tell you what will happen next if Russia occupies all of Ukraine: Russia will be unstoppable, it will occupy more territories in Europe and with every territory that Russia occupies, Russia will become very strong, I don't know if you don't know, but in the war it has a A large country with a very large number of people, having a large country with many resources makes this country an unbeatable empire. How many years would it take for Russia to completely destroy the USA if it is not stopped now? As long as the USA follows Trump's policies, they will become weak militarily, they may become strong economically, but it will be temporary because as long as Trump continues to make the USA great again as he thinks, Russia and China will be becoming giants.
and eventually Russia and China will destroy the USA and the world will be dominated by dictatorship. A few years ago I could agree with Trump, but today I see Trump's ideas as very bad. I say this because here in my country a small part is in conflict with terrorists, they burn people's houses, they cut off people's heads, they cut off people's legs and arms. They are terrorists supported by a certain Muslim country that hates the USA but is friends with Russia. When the government of my country paid the Wagner group to fight against the terrorists in my country, what happened was that the population of my country died mostly because of the Wagner group, because they kept firing missiles and hitting the terrorists along with the innocent population. my country's terrorists humiliatingly defeated the Wagner group
but thanks to the support of the USA, France, Rwanda and some African countries, they are managing to destroy the terrorists in my country. The Biden administration may not be perfect in terms of the US economy, but in terms of helping to fight Russia and terrorists, they are doing a good job. People will always die in war, to defend our country we need to fight for it. I believe that all Ukrainian people must fight until the enemy gives up. One should not accept being invaded and being colonized. this is wrong. in the same way that it is wrong for Russian politicians to send innocent Russians to fight while the children of rich Russians do not fight. I think Trump winning will be the best for the world. but it could be good for the Americans temporarily, because later the price they will pay will be very high, they will have an extremely strong Russia if it is not stopped early
People like you are a minority. Being an Indian, I would say that more than 90% of the Indians are with Russia. The same can be said about China as well. A majority of the world's population are solidly behind Russia, as they are tired of the Americans playing global police. And I am wondering why you are so upset with the Russian military intervention in a country where 80% of the population use Russian as the home language, but at the same time not bothered about the Americans invading and destroying third world nations such as Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. |

The good news is that Nepal and Ireland have qualified for the Super6 stage. These two teams deserved to be there. Nepal had an upset win against Afghanistan yesterday. And there is a very good chance that Namibia may also qualify, in case they can defeat Zimbabwe in today's match. Qualifying to the Super6 would mean three valuable matches against high-quality opposition, and additional funding from the ICC. And for now, Afghanistan, Scotland and USA are confirmed to be relegated to the plate league. Zimbabwe may join them.

In India vs England 1st test, i couldn't imagine india would paly so excellent. I mean every player of them did excellent performance. KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal all of these three player scored more than 80+ runs and Ravindra Jadeja still not out. And he also got 3 wickets. Maybe we could, Such a brilliant all-rounder to make 1st century from his bat tomorrow. And india's total collection is 427 run and still 3 wickets in hand. Ben stoke from England did 70 runs and all played as below avarage. Well I'm excited about watching india, how high they can make as target...
Well.. it was expected. Indians are almost invincible while playing at home. Only team that can challenge them in India is Australia. But even they struggled last time when they visited India. And this time England was without experienced bowlers. Only Mark Wood was there as the pacer, and he looked exhausted. Spin was handled by Jack Leach and the inexperienced duo of Tom Hartley/Rehan Ahmed, with Joe Root chipping in. But none of them were able to trouble the Indian batsmen. India looks set for a 500 plus total. |

India's opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal was very good with the bat, scoring 76 runs off 70 balls. In fact, he started batting thinking that it was an ODI match instead of a Test, comparatively England team started well but were under heavy wicket pressure later on. But the Indian team has been performing well throughout this season, only 127 runs are needed to meet the target in today's match, then whatever the Indian team collects from the next, the pressure will be on the England team. The batsmen of England team are not patient because they were all out in the first innings on the first day, they could not play patiently. It just shows the lack of sting in England bowling attack. Their pacers have been defanged by the dead subcontinental pitches and then they don't have any quality spinners to trouble the Indian batsmen. Jack Leach and Rehan Ahmed would not even qualify to be included in the playing XIs of domestic teams, if they were born in India. All that said, I want Yashasvi Jaiswal to perform with such consistency when he is playing abroad under SENA conditions. We have a lot of players who behave like tigers at home, and then suddenly get transformed to Pomeranian puppies while playing abroad. |
