Australia VS South Africa

The second test match between these two teams has already started. Australia is already leading the series and hopefully they will win it too. Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first and it seems the decision to bowl first is helping them as South Africa has already lost 4 wickets and have only scored 58 runs. It is very hard to defeat Australia when they are playing on thier homeground in test cricket.

The decision to bowl first have made South Africa loss early wickets. Someone to take position and lead the team is necessary for now. If not this is going to be an easy win for Australia. To defeat on the home ground is really tough, and Elgar losing the wicket is unwanted at that time when there is consecutive fall of wickets without good runs on the scoreboard.

India won today's match depends on their batsmen. But after watching the game I thought India won't win this match.  I was really worried the way all the batsmen started getting out. Later when I saw India 3 wickets in the match.  I am really happy to see this win.  Bangladeshi players could not perform very well at the end of the game.

India played very well on the first day of the Test match and were ahead of Bangladesh by a huge of runs due to which they did not need too many runs to win the second day match.  Because of this India beat Bangladesh by 3 wickets I said in my last post that India was more likely to win this test match Bangladesh was not a very likely team to draw with India

My prediction was that India will win the match but the match will be very competitive. Because this is Mirpur's pitch. Bangladesh bowlers always perform well on Mirpur pitch. And they played very well against India too, this morning I thought Bangladesh was going to win. India won because of Iyer and Ashwin's responsible batting. India needed to win the Test series after the humiliating defeat in the ODI series.

Bangladesh is losing to India by 3 wickets Bangladesh might have won the match if they can save wickets because there is no specific over limit in test match if they can save wickets they can play the whole day so the target in test match is to save wickets but Bangladesh could not do that they lost to India by 3 wickets in Bangladesh ODI match  They have seen very good performances but they are not able to show much performance in Test matches and T20s

After the fall of India's seventh wicket, it looked like Bangladesh might be on their way to a miracle. They are going to win the Test against India. But no, they proved me wrong. India team won very easily with Iyer and Ashwin's excellent performance. India lost their seventh wicket at 74, with Iyer and Ashwin putting on a 71-run partnership.

I am not satisfied with the performance of the Indian team in this series. They lost the ODI series. India dominated the first test match quite well. But their performance in the second match was very poor. I am not at all satisfied with the performance of their batsmen in particular. We expect better performance from such experienced batsmen.

When Mehdi bowled out Axar Patel at 74 I was also having same feeling that today Bangladesh is going to have their historic win against India in this test match because now India having lost all their top order batsmen and having only Iyer and Ashwin is surely not helpful while they were still looking for another 72 runs to win on this tricky pitch which was helping Mehdi, Shakib and Tajul but amazing performance from veteran Ashwin at crucial point of this test match give amazing win in this test match and series by 2 - 0 but still we have to praise Bangladesh as well because their performance was also at their best in this match, and now they have two big heroes for the future of Mehdi Hasan Miraz and Litton Das these both can bring better results for the team in coming years.

Bangladesh's performance in this series against India must be appreciated. The players of Bangladesh have performed very well. And in every match it seemed that Bangladesh might win. But due to bad and irregular batting, Bangladesh has fallen behind in every match. Bangladesh's top order has been weak for a long time. They are trying to strengthen this weak top order, but they are not succeeding. It is very difficult to win matches if the top-order players do not play well.

You must be a Bangladesh fan and therefore, appreciate this Bangladesh performance (which cannot be called a good performance by any means). Apart from the 2nd test, where there is a decent chance of winning the test match, I don't see any good performances from Team Bangladesh. They failed in every department and need to redevelop themselves.
Even in the 2nd test, most experts say that they came back in the match only because the wicket had started behaving abnormally.

In the 2nd Test match Australia vs South Africa these two teams have come to the field to play. The game has started at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne Stadium. South Africa is now batting. 95 runs in 39 overs. And South Africa has lost 5 wickets so far. Watch the game  It seems that South Africa will be all out today. But how many runs South Africa will score in today's match is still beyond my imagination.

South Africa played a bit more impressed in the 2nd Test as played in the first Test. In the first Test match, South Africa scored 152 & 99 against Australia and Australia 218 & 35 won by 5 wickets. In the 2nd Test, South Africa has already been able to score 159 runs losing 5 wickets. As a result, they will be able to make 200 plus easily. According to the match condition of South Africa the 2nd Test match may be competitive.

Pakistan is playing another historic series against New zealand at there home ground after 22 years. So far in this year Pakistan has lost 2 home test series against Australia and England. For my delight, Sarfraz is finally back in playing 11 after a long time as a wicket keeper. Its a good opportunity for New zealand to win a test series against a weak Pakistan test side. Pakistan are already out from ICC World Test Championship.

[rojan]

South Africa did not score many runs in today's match. I think the runs that South Africa scored were not the right runs for them to win. South Africa has got all out due to poor performance in batting. On the other hand, Australia has shown a great performance in bowling. Cameron  Green took the highest wicket in this match. He took 5 wickets for 27 runs off 4 balls in 10 overs.

[pakhitheboss]

South Africa first innings 189 all out. Australia completely dominating the first innings. Green took 5 wickets as an all-rounder this must be his best day. South Africa too has some of the best bowler and not it might be their turn to take wickets and destroy the Australian batting line-up. I do not think it will easy for Australian batters to chase those runs on a pitch that is bowlers friendly.

Pakistan Cricket Board has reintroduced Sarfraz Ahmed to the team, and we hope that he will provide good performances. Sarfraz, 35, replaces someone who did really well for two years. He's gone after one bad series. Hopefully, this won't happen to Sarfraz in the next match, and he will be dropped. However, 3 wickets have already been lost for Pakistan in session one. It has been four consecutive losses for both New Zealand and Pakistan in Test matches. It looks like the New Zealand side will turn things around.

South Africa vs Australia in this test match South Africa was all out by scoring 189 runs.  Meanwhile, Australia scored 45 runs for the loss of 1.  Today on this first day Australia I think they need 144 runs to cover it.  Australia can perform very well in this regard.  Australia's Warner scored 32 runs off 51 balls which is a huge return for the team.

South Africa too has some of the best bowler and not it might be their turn to take wickets and destroy the Australian batting line-up. I do not think it will easy for Australian batters to chase those runs on a pitch that is bowlers friendly.

The bottom order players Verreynne and Jansen managed to score 52 and 59 runs. If not, the first innings might've ended within 150 runs. Australia is quite strong and once again Cameron Green had a good innings taking 5 wickets. Australia have started the innings and 45/1 after 12 overs with Warner and Labuschagne on the crease.

[rojan]

We can see that Australia has come out to bat now. Australia scored 45 runs in 12 overs. And lost 1 wicket so far. They still have 9 wickets in hand. We are at home. Australia has done a great performance in bowling. Now let's see how Australia is batting.  Can perform. David Warner has scored 32 runs from 51 balls so far if David Warner can score some more runs then it will be good for Australia.

Babar Azam have played well when the team is in need of good score. The 97 runs from Babar Azam have stabilized the team when there is continuous fall of wickets. On the other side Sarfaraz is doing good to stand the wicket. Even when the team is at 48/3 Pakistan had the highest winning probability based on web data. Now the percentage have increased even further.

Yeh it's a good step from PCB to replace sarfaz with Rizwan. Because due to some bad performance Rizwan need some rest to recover his form. Now Pakistan after winning toss and choose batting they lose first 4 batter in just 28 over with a runs of just 110. It's quite worry for Pakistan but the Captain King Baber again take responsibility and bulid a strong partnership of more than 150 runs with sarfaz ahmad. Most of the fan disrespect baber for his bad performance but now due to phenomenal performance of scoring 119 runs he proved why he is GOAT of modern era. Still he is on a pitch and we hope that today he will score double century and will shut the mouth of every man who criticize him

A good performance by Pakistani captain Babar Azam  finally, a century and leading towards double may be. Pakistan started off rough today but eventually Babar controlled the situation and jade a sensible partnership of 150 runs with Sarfraz Ahmed.  A good comeback for Sarfaraz.
He has always been a phenomenal player and always supported Pakistan in times of need.

[Shaha98]

Today Pakistan vs NewZealand test match was held.  And in today's first innings 4 wickets fell for 255 runs.  In this case, Babar Azam is fighting alone for Pakistan as he has performed very well as he has scored 126 runs.  Babar Azam's 126 alone against NewZealand was a huge find for Pakistan.  In total 71 overs, Pakistan often scored many runs. In this case Masood and Shafique could not show a very good performance for Pakistan but they are mainly batting.  And coming towards the first stage, their performance is very sad for Pakistan.

partnership of 150 runs with Sarfraz Ahmed.  A good comeback for Sarfaraz.

I think the change of sarfaraz in place of Rizwan give a huge strength to Pakistani batting lineup, this is the first change of new chief selector Shahid Afraid and it's worth.  
we know Rizwan is phenomenal player he build too much record in few years and placed himself on first spot in T20 batter ranking. But from his performance it's clear that he is best in short format cricket like T20 and ODI rather than performing in test matches, ln recent World cups and Asia Cup he was the only performer after baber who help team in difficult situation.
