ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Bangladesh's path to the Super Four in the Asia Cup was difficult after losing to Sri Lanka by a big margin. However, Shakib Al Hasan's team confirmed the Super Four as the second team after Pakistan in the fight for continental superiority. However, the attacking batting of Ibrahim Zadran was making the eyes of Shakib quite colorful. Because, without any equation, to go to the Super Four, the Afghans have to stop at 279 runs. In the end, the Tigers completed the equation of going to the Super Four with the tireless efforts of the entire team. Congratulations to the Bangladesh team.

Mehidy Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto played for a long time today and both scored more than a 100 runs. Both of them have made Bangladesh a lot ahead today.  Although Shakib Al Hasan played only 18 balls, he collected good runs in these few balls.  All in all, Bangladesh's game was really great today.  Although Afghanistan tried hard to beat Bangladesh but they did not succeed. Afghanistan's batting performance was good but they did not do well in bowling due to which Bangladesh were able to collect high runs and set Afghanistan a big target of 334 runs. by the way congratulation for Bangladesh

The Asia Cup 2023 match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan was certainly a game-changer because to their outstanding performance of Miraz and Shanto who played outstanding batting for them, helped them to a respectable total of 334 runs. Taskin Ahmed consistently outstanding bowling, which resulted in four wickets, confirms his position as Bangladesh top fast bowler. In my opinion Taskin and Shorful has become a strong bowler as a result of his perseverance and hard effort, whilst Mustafiz has lagged behind as a result of lacking a similar level of devotion. Bangladesh ability to compete at the highest level on the world stage was demonstrated by their victory by 89 runs which not only highlights their talent but also keeps their aspirations alive to win AsiaCup 2023.

Although Bangladesh performs very well in cricket, they sometimes lose easy matches which is their big problem.  For example, they all lost the first match badly but came to the second match and defeated Afghanistan badly. Bangladesh team has some good players for bowling and batting, if they play well then no team can beat them easily.  But if they unfortunately play somewhat poorly then they lose the match no matter how weak team they play against.

India vs Nepal match is scheduled for today, but I am quite skeptical on whether a single ball will be bowled. Heavy thunderstorms are predicted for entire day, and the same weather is going to be there for the next 7-8 days. The ACC is actually considering to move the remaining matches to either Dambulla or Hambantota, where the conditions are slightly better. That said, this decision to hold matches in Sri Lanka right at the monsoon season was a disaster. The BCCI wanted to move matches out of Pakistan, but then they should have also kept weather conditions in mind.

I also checked the weather report. There is a strong chance of rain today. And the chances of a full 100-over match being played today are very low. However, as I see the weather condition, there is a possibility that the result will not be seen in today's match. The umpire should reduce the over if the weather is bad, and if the match is delayed. Otherwise the result will be India vs Pakistan match. However, if the result of today's match is also not known, will India and Pakistan qualify for the next round? I don't feel good that India will go to the next round without a complete performance in even one match.

I didn't think that Bangladesh will perform so well. But after watching Bangladesh team's first match I was upset with Bangladesh team because Bangladesh team had bad performance in batting and bowling line for which I was worried in Bangladesh vs Afghanistan match. But on the day Bangladesh team batsmen bat first.  Bangladesh team won on that day by giving a target of more runs. Afghanistan could not do well in bowling and batting in the match. I thought Afghanistan team could perform well but they could not do that.

No one expected such a great performance from the Bangladesh team. Especially when the team lost all wickets for just 166 runs in the first match, it was unbelievable to set a target of 335 runs. Because Afghanistan's bowling line-up is very strong than Sri Lanka's. Even then, seeing Bangladesh's batting at the beginning of the innings, I thought the team would collect 280-290. But in the end Bangladesh gave a huge target of 335. Bangladesh collected more than 100 in the last 10 overs. Bangladeshi batsmen played great. And Bangladesh confirmed the next round as the first team. If this performance continues, I guess we will see Bangladesh in the Asia Cup final. The team is strong and Shakib's captaincy is also very good.

Credit goes to BCCI for all this mess up and I am sure BCCI is just happy that they were successful in moving the tournament out of Pakistan. Lots of matches will be affected by rain and let's see whether we can have final of this aisa cup or it will also be affected by rain.
It's best in interest of Nepal that today's match will not be affected by rain. They have played a game against Pakistan and need this game also to get necessary exposure.

It is not yet confirmed that Bangladesh will play in the Super Four. However, there is a high possibility that Bangladesh will be able to play in the Super Four. From Group A, Pakistan qualified directly for the Super Four. After the Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka match, it will be confirmed from Group B which two teams will qualify for the Super Four. However, Afghanistan will not be able to win by a large margin against Sri Lanka. But I think these two teams Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will qualify to play Super Four from Group B.

Afghanistan could not do well in bowling and batting in the match. I thought Afghanistan team could perform well but they could not do that.

The surface was batting-friendly, and Afghanistan bowlers were clueless. Both Captains know that this is batting friendly surface so winning the toss was another key factor. As the Afghan Captain said, if they won the toss, they would choose to bat first as well. Once again, Bangladesh did not give a chance to Anamul Haque Bijoy and they replaced the debutant opener Tanzim Tamim as well.

Most of us don't know that Mehedi Hasan Miraz opened before for Bangladesh and he had a half-century as opener. The experiment paid off a little. Let's see if Bangladesh continue with him or not.

[synchronym]

Bangladesh had already made a plan to join the team if they confirmed the Super Four of the Asia Cup. The representatives of Red Green have confirmed the Super Four by defeating Afghanistan by 89 runs in a life-and-death battle on Sunday (September 3). And according to the board's plan, Tiger vice-captain Liton Kumar Das is going to join the Asia Cup mission. Bangladesh will take the field against Pakistan in the first match of the Super Four. Litton will leave the country at 9pm on Monday (September 4) to play in that match. He will join the team in Pakistan. Bangladesh Cricket Board Protocol Officer Wasim Khan confirmed the matter.
 Earlier, Liton was ruled out of the Asia Cup due to fever. Anamul Haque Vijay was included in the team instead. But after losing badly against the Lankans, the board planned to bring Liton back into the team. As part of that plan, the right-handed batsman is going to join the team from the Super Four. Of course, we who are cricket fans will want Bangladesh Super Four to play well and reach the final.

@JSRAW, do you have any plan to create a prediction pool for the upcoming ODI world cup? There wasn't too many participants in the last T20 world cup prediction pool, but it was enjoyable.

It's been quite sometime since we had a proper cricket prediction pool tournament in this forum. ODI World Cup happens every 4 years which is why this is a great question in my opinion.

@Royse777 and @JSRAW together used to manage those pools really well before based on what I remember.

From Group A, Pakistan qualified directly for the Super Four. After the Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka match, it will be confirmed from Group B which two teams will qualify for the Super Four. However, Afghanistan will not be able to win by a large margin against Sri Lanka. But I think these two teams Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will qualify to play Super Four from Group B.

Bangladesh has 80% chance to play in Super Four stage as Afghanistan must win against Sri Lanka and not only win but also achieve NRR which is more than Bangladesh. But the opponent Sri Lanka which will not be easy for Afghanistan at all so it is almost impossible for Afghanistan to qualify for Super Four in Asia Cup. On the other hand, Group Stage A Pakistan has qualified Super4. Today is India's turn to qualify India is likely to qualify today as well.

Absolutely, today we are experiencing heavy rain but so far the match has not been suspended or declared a draw. There are chances that today match might also be interrupted due to rain, just like the previous match between Pakistan and India which was expected to be quite exciting but unfortunately ended without a result. If today match is completed India has a 100% chance of winning. Nepal overall performance in the previous match was quite weak and India team is very strong just like Pakistan team. Let's hope that in the next matches between India and Pakistan the weather allows the match to be completed so that we can find out the result

India vs Nepal

India won the toss and elected to field against Nepal. I thought India would win the toss and decide to bat. And will beat the Nepalese team by a big margin by providing a big target. Because Nepal is a relatively weak team.
Perhaps India captain Rohit Sharma took the fielding decision because the weather was not good. There is a possibility of rain. So he is not interested in taking any risk. He decided to field. And if the match is delayed due to rain, and the umpire decides to shorten the over, then it becomes easier for India to win the match.

Pakistan team won against Nepal by a huge margin of 238 runs. Nepal's batting line-up is very weak. Indian bowlers should restrict Nepal to 200 today. The team collected 12 runs without losing any wickets in 3 overs.

Nepal have got good start scoring 42-0 in 8 overs. Bhurtel is in good form, while Aasif is struggling to score runs. Sami and Siraj have opened the spell. Withstanding wickets will help Nepal score good runs. Pakistan won against Nepal with a big margin and this time such a difference won't happen. Already consecutive catches dropped by Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli. Those catches would help Bhurtel score good runs. If this continues we can expect Nepal to score 250+ runs in 50 overs.

What is this? Why did ACC select Sri Lanka for Asia Cup matches, Even we can't see the biggest match of cricket, between Pakistan and India. Now, ACC has shifting the tournament to Dambullah or Hambantato,

Also, it's a good thing to shift the tournament to the other states, at least we can see the match. Anyway, today is the match between India and Nepal. I don't need to tell because everyone knows, who is the winner of today's match.

Nepal has made an excellent start. I don't think the opening pair will bat with such responsibility in Nepal. Nepal's two openers are very cautious against India's experienced bowlers. They collected 53 runs in 9 overs without losing any wicket.
Against Pakistan, Nepal lost three top-order batsmen in just 2 overs. And the team lost all wickets by 104 runs. They are batting very well against India. Kushal Bhurtel remained unbeaten with 32 runs off 23 balls and Aasif Sheikh 19 runs off 32 balls. India used their 3 bowlers in 9 overs but they were not able to take a single wicket.

I am very satisfied with Nepal's batting today. The game of 14 overs ended, the batsmen of Nepal collected 73 runs, the team lost one match wicket. I did not think that Nepal's top order would bat so well. Because in the previous match I saw terrible batting by Nepal.
The Nepal team is slowly improving. Chances of them winning against India are very low. Unless a miracle happens, it is not possible for Nepal to win against a team like India. Even though Nepal lost I would say they played well. If they can score more than 200 runs against India it will be a big achievement for them.

[cozytrade]

Nepal vs India, Nepal's batting start in the first innings against India in today's match looks very good. Although Nepal did not play well against Pakistan in the first match of the Asia Cup. In today's match, the batting performance of the players of Nepal team looks great. It is expected that Nepal team can give India a big target in today's match.  Nepal team's score so far is 73-1(15). Nepal team players, if they can play the whole match with such run rate. Only then can India give the team a big target. As Nepal team has lost one wicket so far. In that case the players of the Nepal team should be careful so that they don't face a wicket crisis. But a team much stronger than India-Nepal. The bowlers in the Indian team will also try to restrict Nepal to small scores. Now let's see what happens in the end

[Vaskiy]

Nepal started good, but they weren't able to keep up its form continue longer time. Openers alone have contributed good runs, particularly Aasif have reached his half century and continuing whereas the rest have fallen for single digit runs. Jadeja have took three wickets, with good bowling economy. Nepal played really bad against Pakistan in its previous match, and this time the performance is really good. The middle order have collapsed against the spin bowling. However one of the player supporting Aasif we can expect 200+ runs from Nepal team. Nepal had good runrate at the beginning and it keeps going down as overs pass.

India won the toss and decided to bowl first in pallekele international stadium Sirlinka. It is amazing to see Nepal batting against India in the first powerplay scoring 65 runs with 1 loss of Kushal Bhurtel at 38 runs in just 25 balls with 3 Fours and 2 sixs. From India Ravindra Jadeja bowling well picking 3 wickets by just 25 runs in 7 overs. Now current score of Nepal is 125 runs in a loss of 4 wickets in 28.3 overs. Aasif Sheikh played an amazing performance scoring half a century against the top bowling line in India and playing at 58 unbeaten. I know Nepal is a weak team but if they set a 250-plus target then have a chance to win and qualify for the Super Four.

[Popkon6]

Today's performance of Nepal team is not good because the fall of wickets is high. Although India is a strong team here, Nepal team is under a lot of pressure in terms of bowling. If the current pair of Nepal team, Aasif and Gulsan, can survive for a long time, then they will definitely be able to collect some runs. But today India team will definitely win because compared to Nepal team, bowling line and batting line are all strong in India team. Team India will never miss this opportunity today, surely victory will be in favor of India
