Cricket match prediction discussions

[btcdevil]

Today is the first ODI match between Australia and India. India are currently the favourites to win this first ODI and the series but I wouldn't count Australia out as its a completely new look team for the ODI series with only a few of players from the test team playing. I'm surprised to see that Strac isn't playing in this first match and instead they have called up the veteran in Peter Siddle who has been in top form in the Big Bash League. 

Australia choose to bat and lost Aaron Finch earlier. Although it's 9 over now, I don't think it will be a big score from Australia. They wouldn't be able to make 300 possibly by this team and anything below 300 will be an easy win for India, I guess. Anyway, I expect to have a competitive match, not like the test matches.

By seeing the Test Match dont judge the team for ODI, you can see the situation now, India are 26/3 in 13 overs and Top 3 wickets were down for 4 runs, it shows that ODI is totally different then Test, Now this paid, rohit and dhoni have to play some sensible cricket and make partnership so that India can chase it.

KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya facing 2 match bans due to their comments on a show ‘Koffee with Karan’
https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/coa-chief-recommends-two-odi-ban-for-pandya-rahul-awaits-eduljis-approval-1997767.html

I think kl rahul got in this unnecessary controversy because of hardik pandya.

I have seen the episode and did not really found the KL Rahul ban was justified. Yes when they are representing India they should be more sensible and mature and  do not get so much carried away that they forget the rest of the things. This might just be the caution to the rest of the players when they go to any of the chat show now.

I didn't get the chance to see the episode yet and Hotstar already removed it. damage is done! Much needed Ban for Rahul one way or another, he needed a break anyway. that's another discussion that he deserve this ban or not but for now, they are coming back to India.

India are in big trouble losing 3 wickets in the first few overs for only 18 runs. Dhoni will need to bat well to get India out of trouble and try and get as close to the Australian target as he can. India need 289 to win the match but it looks like it could be a tough ask right now. India at one stage were 3 wickets for just 4 runs, Kohli only made 3 runs.

Well this is the first real battle for India. Playing good and wining is easy but with 3 wickets down and team chasing target of above 280, this is the real test now for the Indian batsman. Let see show the rest of the Indian middle order respond to this tough time.

I don't mind this scorecard. Much needed reality check for Indian middle order batsmen. it can help the team in the long run. We only have around 11-12 match left in World Cup, so middle order batsmen need to get their shit together in a pressure situation like this. Dhoni should play a long inning, and hope 2019 brings him good luck. he didn't score much run in 2018

Right now there is a big difference between the odds for India and Australia. At present the odd for India is found above 5, while it is found less than 1.2 for Australia. I believe this match will go so close at the end, also taking the test series win we cannot conclude it will be winning for India, but it has lot of chances if the middle order batsman give a strong support in scoring.

Sharma done great job but they was not near to win as early damage done all for India and Dhoni is also gone after completing his half century but good match with full of entertainment by Sharma look like this series is going to be very interesting as now India need to give good reply after this lost.
Pakistan as usual top order completely fail and 2,0,0 is from top five is not enough for saving whitewash now Baber and Sarfraz trying to do some recovery which is very hard job for them until luck 111/5.

[onrise]

OZ got the right start after losing the test series by winning the 1st ODI. Their middle order had really played well and helped them to reach 288 runs. The chase would never be easy and India could not capitalize the Rohit innings of 133 runs . India required some one to give company to Rohit on pitch but middle order collapsed and lost the match by 34 runs.

Can't believe that after making such a score by Rohit how India lost the match. It's really unexpected. Also, By the way. Australia did very well both in their batting and bowling. I hoped Australia will lose but they won. Now that India will realize how much weak their middle-order batsman is.

Here is a simple answer.

Sikhar      : 0
Kohli        : 3
Rayadu    : 0
D Karthik : 12
Jadeja      : 8

Top 4 batsman included 1 all-rounder scorecard. hope now you can believe this.

By the way, South africa and Pakistan's match is having twist. Earlier I though South Africa will easily have a minimum of 300 leads while now they lost 5 wickets with a lead of 212 and possibly end up before 300. It's only 2nd day stumped. I think it will not take even the forth day, lol. Pakistan will lose all wickets tomorrow if South Africa can't bat more than 1 session.

Infact the real sad part is that their were two batsman Rohit who opened the inning and made 133 and Dhoni at the end made 51 and inspite of this the team lose the match. Now this is something which will be pinching India that slight effort extra would have made then match win.

If you loose three wickets at the top in quick succession, it is very difficult to chase and there was no real support after the dismissal of Dhoni, India is lacking a good player to hold one end and with the world cup around the corner they should find a fix for this problem. When Rohit was striking good the other batsmen also failed to rotate the strike and hold one area, hope they will bounce back in the next match.

[vella85]

Rohit Sharma almost pulled off the victory for India along with Dhoni but they needed the middle order to stand up which they didn't. I hope that this now brings the Indian team back down to earth after winning the test series. I think most were over confident and same goes for most of the Indian fans with most saying that India will easily beat Australia. Well ODI is completely different game and with the fresh new team Australia has they have nothing to lose in this series. I look forward to the second ODI match on Tuesday.

I can't believe a few people on TV are blaming Dhoni for the loss. It was 4 for the loss of three wickets when he came in and also he got out because of umpire decision . Those who are blaming him absolutely knows nothing about cricket .

It's sad. I have also seen some stupid post in social media blaming Dhoni here. In fact, he had nothing to do but support Rohit Sharma. He played good in that position. Those who are blaming Dhoni are kind of typical cricket fan who don't fucking know what cricket is.

While I do agree with both of you except "knowing cricket". but one can't deny that his performance is not that good with the bat in recent times. now he plays ridiculously slow and creates pressure on non-striker as well.

Now there are 2 Dhoni IMHO. One in Ipl and second in ODI. Thala(Dhoni) wins matches with the bat for his franchise against 4-5 bowlers ( Chances are only 2 are international level bowlers and rest of them, average bowlers) that's not the case in International matches. Everyone wants to see IPL's Dhoni including his critics. I still believe that he's a big tournament player and can play a good part in the World Cup squad.

And don't need to be sad at all. that's how fan reacts in Sub-continent (India-Pakistan)

I don't think Pakistan will be able to chase any target above 150. There current performance in the series is disappointing one. They may be a good team on dead wickets but there is a question mark on their batting ability once they place on fast bouncy wickets.

South Africa is tough team in Home. its hard to beat them. my hopes are still alive for pakistan. its less than 5% but still alive lol 

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Patriotism (Guessing you are from Pakistan   )?
Day 3, first session, 213 runs behind, SA still have 5 wickets remaining. In a series Pakistan had so far 294 runs the highest in an innings, in rest of the innings 181, 190, 177 and 185 runs. Do you still have less than 5% hopes alive? I am expecting 0.01% 

You are very optimistic LOL

[Little Mouse]

And don't need to be sad at all. that's how fan reacts in Sub-continent (India-Pakistan)

Specially Indian fans over react on those. I remembered the chaotic condition after the lost against Bangladesh in 2007 world cup.

By the way, Pakistan is going to lose the 3rd match too, imo. In day 3rd, Africa lead by 221 runs with 5 wickets remaining. They will possibly lead by 300 which will be almost impossible for Pakistan to chase. There is no way of draw even, lol.
