England women Vs India women  Only Test Match  
After winning the toss and deciding to bat in the only test, the Indian women's team went into bat. The absence of Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami will surely be a big blow for the Indian women, as they have contributed significantly to the team over the years. They will lack experience and leadership in today's Test match against England Women. Facing a strong and experienced team like England will be a tough task. However, it is also an opportunity for young players to prove themselves on the big stage. While it may be difficult for India women to come out on top in Test matches, cricket is an unpredictable game and anything can happen.

Only Test match India Women won toss and batting first they are playing 324/6 in 70 overs and session 3 going on Day 1 they way Indian women playing they will score 400+ runs today indian team also take advantage to play on his home excellent innings played by Shubha 69 runs and Rodrigues 68 runs and Bhatia made 66 runs while captain Kaur missed his fifty by just one run Lauren bell takes 2 wickets England women need to take remaining wickets in today session under 380 runs and they should start 2nd day with his batting

This Australian team is very experienced. They have performed well in the World Cup. If this Australian squad had played in the T20 series against India, then Australia would not have lost so badly against India. Australia and Pakistan will play three Test matches in this series. Australia has more chances to win all three matches. Either Australia will win or the match will be a draw. But I expect Australia to win the first match. Australian batsmen did very well in the first innings. Especially Warner's innings of 164 runs was much needed. Australia will collect at least 450 runs in the first innings.

Aamer Jamal played very well in this match against Australian very good team, you can also say that he out the players who made their team to the champion of the recent World Cup that was held in India and the players who lost their wickets Aamer Jamal led their team to the win of this ODI world Cup against the biggest team India. He took the wicket of that who hit boundaries against Shaheen, Kurram Shezad and others pacers but Aamer Jamal out him and his name was David Warner, he also took the wicket of Travis Head.

Although is not a popular or Senior name in the Pakistan bowling, but he was the most successful bowler on the first day. He took 2 wickets in his 12 overs he bowled today.

If they got Warner early, Australia would have been in all sorts of trouble. He single-handedly helped his team bounce back.

Although is not a popular or Senior name in the Pakistan bowling, but he was the most successful bowler on the first day. He took 2 wickets in his 12 overs he bowled today.

He did take big wickets like Warner and Head which is impressive for sure, but he leaked a lot of runs since his economy is over 5 which is something he needs to work on as soon as possible.

The way Australia is batting against Pakistan in the first test match, it may be possible for them to score 500+ runs today.

On the first day of the test, we saw that to face Australian batsmen is hard so now everyone understands that's why India lost the World Cup with Australia.
Australian team is too good in every format of the cricket.

Yes Australia is really showing very good performance they play very well in ODI, T20 and in test match they scored 336 runs in the first innings against Pakistan on the first day and lost only five wickets which means they can collect more runs.  Their first innings performance suggests that they will win the Test match against Pakistan. Australia has become very proficient in the game of cricket. And they seem to be doing very well in almost every match. I think Australia will give Pakistan a target of at least 700 runs with two innings in this test match against Pakistan and it will not be possible for Pakistan to win the match beyond this score.

India Women won toss and played first they made 410/7 in 94 overs and Day 1 stumps off Indian women batting very well in 1st inning 4 players from Ind-w made fifties indian women team also takes advantage to playing on his home brilliant innings played by Shubha, Rodrigues, Bhatia and captain Kaur also Deepti Sharma on 60 runs are on the crease she will start 2nd day of first session with Vastrakar from Eng-w side Lauren bell takes 2 wickets except Lauren filer all 4 bowlers took single wickets. England women did not takes wicket early on Day 1 they should need to take remaining wickets tomorrow in morning session otherwise test could be draw becoz 3 days remaining and also 3 innings remain.

Australia has a lot of experience playing cricket and they are quite experts. A good team management is necessary to do well in every game. And Australia have been able to do this which has seen them do very well in almost every match.  Australia are playing equally well against Pakistan. Yes I agree with you as Australia have only lost 5 wickets so far and have already scored 346 so they must be able to cross 450 in the first innings. And Australia has high potential to win this match with Pakistan

[God bless u]

So, it is Warner who is the reason for 293 on the first day. 150 runs done for Warner next would be 200 if Pakistan doesn't comes up with a strategy. Not looking good for Pakistan as there are plenty of wickets left. If Warner continues then before the day end 350 runs might be on the scoreboard. Shaheen Afridi's charm hasn't been working after the Asia Cup, only 1 wicket till now. The combo of Naseem Shah and Afridi was the best Pakistan had until Shah's injury.

The opening partnership was so strong. It is not easy to defend wickets with new ball. Warner is one of top batsmen who can play any format cricket. At the same time he could play test ,t20 and ODI games woth constant performance. look at the strike rate how good he was doing today.  Australian team got a big advantage with his impressive score. I think now Pakistani bowlers will be little comfortable but Australia already done a good job and they are on the the strong position and still five wickets remains.

Whatever the result, it will be a valuable learning experience for the Indian women's team and they will have an opportunity to gain exposure to the longer format of the game. Hopefully, they can put up a strong fight.

In this test game of England women tour to India started today and India women win the opportunity to elected first bat or bowl in pitch and they decided to bat first in today game. India women batting was very commendable in test day of this game. First opener batsman was not showed good effort because S.Verma scored only 19 runs in 30 balls and second opener batsman S.Mandhana scored 17 runs in 12 balls. But ext players of India team showed good batting skills and scored good runs S.Shubha players scored good runs and he scored more than 60 runs, J.Rodrigues player also scored 68 runs in 99 balls with eleven 4s, Y.Bhatia also scored more than 60 runs in 88 balls and player very good inning and last one D.Sharma scored 60 runs in 95 balls with nine 4s and one 6s. All players of effort in today game and they scored 410 runs in 94 overs and losing 7 wickets.

[Compromise me]

Pakistan don't have good test record in Australia. Last time they won a test in Australia was in 1995 and today the performance is not much different. On stumps, Aussies have scored 346 runs and still half of the team still to bat. Aussies may score 500 runs tomorrow and it won't be easy for Pakistan to level that score. Aamer Jamal the debutant was the most successful bowler on day 1 with 2 wickets.

Today was the first day of the first test match of Pakistan vs Australia and in this match Australian team played very well, their focus was on just one thing which was just make runs because their bowlers charged Babar Azam so they knew that Babar Azam make more and more runs so that's why they made runs unstoppable, and Australian charged Babar Azam, actually,  before the one day of match all Australian and also the captain Pat Cummins has said that we will try to out Babar Azam because if he start so we can't stop it.

We will see if Babar Azam will keep up with the expectations of their own team and also meet the expectations of Pat Cummins.
Anyways the first day clearly belongs to the Australian team.

Pakistani International test cricket team can't win this match against Australian International test cricket team. Australian are king on their home ground and they will wash Pakistan. Australian International test cricket team is top class whole the World and they will will this series. There are no changes for Pakistan to win this series and Pakistani International test cricket team became very weak after the retirement of Younas Khan and Misba ul Haq and Pakistan has to change the players to win against Australia.

Pakistan's criteria for the selection of test team is never been ideal with their domestic setup is also never been helpful for them to allow their players having something positive for the SENA countries which is the biggest problem for them in last few years even they have little success in these countries but sadly every time Australia expose them badly, and they have never been able to have anything positive in last 27 years which is surely worst for them.
On social media their many players are giving tips and other stuff, but they have never been able to help their team for the improvement which is surely shameful act with they are still having ability to improve their game and having better results in Australia against Australia, but they have never done any homework for this.

[synchronym]

The way Australia is batting well in the first test match between Pakistan vs Australia, it seems that the chances of Australia winning the first test are very high. After winning the 2023 World Cup, the confidence of the Australian team has increased a lot. I think Australia can win the first test against Pakistan. David Warner in particular batted brilliantly. The current score of the Australian team is 346 runs for five wickets. If the next batsmen of the Australian team can bat well, then maybe Australia can give a target of 450 runs to Pakistan. Pakistan's bowling is very good but they are not able to take advantage as much as Pakistan in this test match against Australia. If Pakistan's bowlers could have bowled well, they could have restricted Australia to less runs.

[MusaPk]

I don't think Pakistan team will win against Australia. But my  guess was that the series would be competitive. Although Pakistan's bowling attack is not weak, the bowlers are not in good form. And  as usual in today's test match  we didn't see good performance from Pakistani bowlers. Australia collected  126 runs in the first wicket pair. However  after the lunch break, the performance of the Pakistani bowlers was slightly better. Looks like  Australia will collect around 480-500. The match is likely to be a draw if Pakistan's batsmen can bat well.

Apart from Shaheen all bowlers are new or making debut in test cricket. This is not the bowling lineup Pakistan should have sent against Australia. 410 runs already made and still Australians have 5 more batsmen to come. This test match is slipping away from Pakistan and best they can do in this match is to draw it and that's something Aussies won't allow them to do.

Given the fact that they sent a very inexperienced squad, I would say that Pakistan did well to restrict Australia to 346/5 in the first day. Now they are 416/6, as Mitchell Marsh and Alex Carey added 90 valuable runs for the 6th wicket partnership. Now Mitchell Starc has come out to join Marsh, and there is a good chance that Australia may get to a total of 500 plus. In that case, avoiding follow on will be difficult for Pakistan. Australia has a full strength attack, which includes Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood.

The bowling line-up of Pakistan is weak and the same can be expected from their batting line-up. The test match is slowly sliding away from Pakistan. A target of 500+ is not that easy to chase, the only option would be to avoid follow on. Then try to end this match as a draw. It will be not so easy but they have to give it a try. As of now it doesn't look like the bowlers are trying something different as they are now getting hammered by the Australian batters.

[virasog]

The test match of India A vs South Africa Awas started in the last three days, and South Africa A batted first and their team was all out on 319, this is not a good performance by the South African A team.

Anyway, Yaseen Valli played 86 balls and just made 16 runs, he played very poor if he played like this so he would never make their place in the original South African team, and Cameron Dean Shekleton also didn't play well, but he also didn't waste balls like Yaseen Valli, the openers success to make just 16 runs and waste 88 balls.

Even if they avoid follow on, saving this test match won't be that easy. Today is just the second day and already Australia has amassed a massive total of 476/7. 63 overs remain in today's play. Australia may quickly add another 40-50 runs in the next 10 overs and then ask Pakistan to bat. And that would give them 50+ overs today. And unless Pakistan gets to a similar total, they won't be able to save this match. And Australian lower order is quite strong. I won't be surprised if they get to a total of 500-550.

[BitcoinsGreat]

The test match of India A vs South Africa Awas started in the last three days, and South Africa A batted first and their team was all out on 319, this is not a good performance by the South African A team.

The test match was played in Potchefstroom, which was a city in South Africa. Anyway, if I am telling you the performances of the South African A team batsmen so you can't believe that their original how can win the matches, their new talent is not played well, as you can see their batsmen like Yaseen Valli, he plays around 9 balls and cannot take at least 20 runs so you can see the difference between the original team and this new team and not only Yaseen Valli others players just followed him. They also just wasted balls and didn't make runs.

[JSRAW]

It would have been a much better contest if it was PM XI vs Pak.

They are just piling runs here, 476/7 and counting but I don't understand why comms for the most part keep pointing out that it's a tough pitch to bat on. I know Pak's bowling looked pretty toothless so far but the pitch is not tough at all, especially for the home team. There must be some tired legs in the Pakistani camp but hope they cross at least 300 runs in their inning.

The pitch is not an issue, but may turn bad by the end of the second day. Aamer Jamal has already taken 4 wickets in just 19 over and I feel another one is coming to him shortly. Already the youngster is looking motivated after taking 4 wickets and a fifer would be great for his stats. Already the scoreboard is looking good for the Australian side and if they are able to add another 30 runs then it won't be easy for the Pakistani batters.

Yes Australia is really showing very good performance they play very well in ODI, T20 and in test match they scored 336 runs in the first innings against Pakistan on the first day and lost only five wickets which means they can collect more runs.  Their first innings performance suggests that they will win the Test match against Pakistan. Australia has become very proficient in the game of cricket. And they seem to be doing very well in almost every match.

Australia no doubt is looking to finish the match with an innings win. I am saying this as we all know that Pakistan batsmen go under a lot of pressure when they see a big target in front of them, they would usually collapse. The Australian team have this thing in mind and therefore they won't declare this innings.

I think Australia will give Pakistan a target of at least 700 runs with two innings in this test match against Pakistan and it will not be possible for Pakistan to win the match beyond this score.

I am not sure if the Australian team can reach 700 runs because they are already 7 wickets down with a score of 476. Although Mitchell Marsh is not out at 90 runs and can go on to make a big hundred, they do not have a lot of wickets on the other end. Still, I expect them to make anything around 550 runs and if they are really lucky, they can stretch this to 600 runs,
