Cricket match prediction discussions

We all know that he's not younger anymore and can't play like what he used to be, but we shouldn't forget that he's a damn good match winner in our current squad in his day.

Exactly, I still remember the match against Srilanka where Dhoni knocked a brilliant 183. No one thought that India would win the match but Dhoni made it at the end. He was really the best finisher ever. Time flies and he changed. I still think he has the capacity of changing a game. And that's why I still support him for world cup squad despite some people's thinking about Risabh Pant.

Yeah, good old days. Dhoni spot is fixed in World cup squad no matter what his critics say. As a cricketer, he brings lots of things on the table be it wicket keeping or an abundant amount of experience with his calmness especially during the critical moments (Field)

I am in favor of Pant too and would love to see him in world cup 15 men squad at-least but as a batsman. Chances are very thin due to tough competition for number 4 and 6 in between Ambati, Kartik, Kedar Jadhav.

Hey Ms Dhoni is the most experienced cricketer in the Indian team, and it’ll be foolish to leave him out especially in a tournament like the World Cup. I know he’s not in the top form one expects him to be in, but at his age I would choose him for his experience rather than form. They should definitely consider keeping Pant in the team, as he’ll be able to finish close matches but there’s tough competition for his spot.

 yes definitely the 2019 World Cup will need MS Dhoni to be a big part to survey the team as his experience made the team more stronger and the next match also he will perform very well like the previous match that we have seen before and his finishing moments will also be a good for the team also.

We have no commence on his capacity, he occasionally plays beyond our thoughts, but at the moment arises on his consistency at this stage. Like Risabh Pant there so many young talent sit on the benches, but as you said we can't miss the taste his superiorities game play on upcoming world cup.

In run chases no one in the world plays better than Dhoni and Kohli at the moment and we saw the evidence in the last match, if not for Dhoni i do not think i will be confident enough to tell that he can bat throughout the innings, he is a young lad and he has time and opportunity, India need a consistent performer like Dhoni in the team to hold one end and i would say that he is the best finisher ever, there is no other player to claim that spot.

Yes the next match will be the decision maker for who will win the match so the strategy said the first batting team will be the winner in the most of the time so the toss winner are the winners in the match but beside all of this who plays well will be the winner.

The first match of the 5-match ODI series between South Africa and Pakistan will begin tomorrow at Port Elizabeth. Interestingly, Dale Steyn (good for M. Hafeez ) and De Kock have been rested for the first two matches. Duanne Olivier and Rassie van der Dussen will probably be their replacements.

I hope this ODI series doesn't turn out to be like the Test series, with almost all matches being one-sided.

Final one-day match has started already. India won the toss and elected to chase the score means chosen to bowl first. Australia started slowly but if they keep wickets intact then they can recover later part of the game. As of now Australia has scored 21 runs and lost the first wicket in eight overs. India needs to pick up wickets regularly to put pressure on the batsman. If India wins this match then it will be a great achievement.

Pakistan can beat any team in white ball cricket in their day. Babar Azam batting on number 3 is good. Shoaib Malik at number 5 can anchor the inning in case of collapse and All-rounder Shadab khan batting at lower order can make useful runs too here and there.

Not very sure about Fakhar. he's good but i still have my doubts about him when facing quality bowling attack and M.Hafeez, sometimes he play like top international batsman and sometimes looks more like a club cricketer to me. 

Bowling unit is looking good with 2 all-rounders Hafiz -Shadab + Fast battery, but I want to see M. Amir do some good in ODI along with young Shaheen Afridi.

I like your honesty and you shouldn't hide your face because you are not doing any crime by hating Dhoni.

Thank you  

In match between Aus vs India. India is in good position right now. after 33 over Australia standing with 143/5.  Yuzvendra Chahal creating havoc in Australia camp. no one playing him comfortably so far. he already took 3 wickets. if India can bowled out Australia under 230 then its job well done for India.

Australia are 8 down and 3 overs left and have made 228. So they would be near 250 and it will be a competitive match to watch how India  approaches their innings. Chahal has taken 5 wickets so far and 1 more over left . India will be chasing again in this match like previous 2 matches .

[vella85]

Australia have been bowled out for 230 which I think isn't enough on this pitch. The only thing that could stop India from winning this match is the rain which is forecast later tonight. Kohli mad the right decision bringing in Chahal as he took 6 wickets for 42. India should win this match and the series if the rain holds out and doesn't stop play.

Np problem bro. you were honest, unlike many hypocrites. Bloody hell. you were spot on this. Chahal did all the damage and restricted Aussie on exact 230 runs marks.  he's not making life easy for selectors but its good to have such kind of a headache when selecting playing xi.


vella85 What happened to Finch nowadays. why he's struggling so much. Graeme Hick and Justin langer should look into it.

I am eying on Zampa here, and India would be very disappointed if rain abrupts the game.

[Pffrt]

If Zampa start the rain still India will be disappointed. Although it's an easy target for India, things can be changed if Zampa can strike. I don't think its going to happen though. It's more likely that India will win the match within 40 overs at maximum but who knows.

I agree. India are performing beautifully at the moment primarily thanks to Chahal and Kumar who destroyed the formidable batting lineup of Australia with ease.

The only way Australia can survive this is due to the rains as you mentioned. The formidable batting lineup of India will most likely see this match through to the finish unless Australia does something magical.

[Pffrt]

It is looking like India is not going to get an easy win over Australia. A slow and steady start with 2 wickets within 59 after 16.3, I think India will win but it will be difficult today.

[erikalui]

77 runs in 21 overs is such a slow start. They should have made these runs in the first 10 overs but still because the target is less, hope Virat and Dhoni manage to stay till the 40th over and get the runs. It's not so tough for them.

It's easier for India. Australia ended the innings with a lowered score. I didn't expect such target. I thought they will score a 300 and the match will be like a final match but Australian batsman failed to do it. India will not lose more wicket may be. Virat may get another century today.

Unfortunately he got out at 46 now the Dhoni has the responsibility to take the game to end and have to win it for India and its not going to be a tough chance for India since they need to score run a ball with 7 wickets in their hand.

Man of the match belongs to Chahal. selecting team is very long debate lol .India need 44 runs in 30 balls. another last over result is in progress. India should win this match from here, they have wickets in hands and Austraila need some wickets right now if they wanna win. Maxwell dropped the dhoni's catch when he was facing first ball of his inning and now Dhoni playing at 70  

[Little Mouse]

Where are the critics of Dhoni? What a knock by Dhoni and Kedar. And the man of the series is MS Dhoni. He really played a brilliant inning today and in the last match. He deserved that. I hope no one will talk any more about Dhoni. Well done by Chahal.
