ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Out of mind]

Every warm-up match had been interesting to watch due to the high scoring. In today's match Williamson tossed the coin in style and soon after winning the toss he nodded the head and took batting. It means they've already planned whether to go with batting/bowling on winning the toss. Same as what they had planned, things are working in favour of New Zealand team.

Weather conditions disturbed the match, yet everything is on time. Close to 350 runs can b expected as New Zealand have reached 243/3 in 40 overs. New player Chapman on the crease is now waiting for another fresh batsman from the pavilion.

New Zealand's innings stopped at 321 runs against South Africa. If New Zealand could have continued the way they started in the end, the score would have crossed 350 plus, but they were not very aggressive towards the end against the South African bowlers. I wouldn't say the South African bowlers bowled very well today, they picked up a wicket early in the game but then they didn't pick up wickets for a long time, due to overheating two players got off the field with good runs for the team.  

South Africa took a total of six wickets against New Zealand and managed to pick up five of them in the last over which led to New Zealand's first innings total of 321 otherwise the first innings total could have been bigger.

New Zealand's run-scoring after the rain has increased, with South Africa likely to win by 321 runs. South Africa's bowlers were not in good bowling form from the start as they took only one wicket in the moments before the rain, so they could not put New Zealand under pressure. However, after the rains, South Africa's bowlers improved their bowling performance a bit, due to which they were able to take 6 wickets later, but today's match was an aggressive game between the two teams. However, South Africa are batting at the moment, they must score 322 runs to win today's match, which is a very tough task. However, South Africa were in a bit of embarrassment early on losing their wicket in the first over, but if they can hold on to the game at this point, they can reach the target set by New Zealand. South Africa now needs to score 291 runs from 258 balls to reach the target of victory, if no wickets fall then surely South Africa can reach this stage.

However, it looks like we will see a result only in the NZ match while the Bangladesh match will probably get abandoned.

.
Anyway let's have a look on score card of NewZeland match against South Africa where NewZeland opener scored a decent runs byself and set a stage from upcoming rest of batters and thus due to some contribution from middle order they able to scored a 300+ target which they can easily defend through thier bowling Lineup, while opponent bowler like M. Jansen and Ngidi show some magic and took decent number of wickets throughout the match

New Zealand's batting performance was very good as they scored huge runs in the end. Keeping the wicket under control, the New Zealand team set a target of 321 runs to South Africa. In this case, if the New Zealand team can do a good bowling performance today, then there is definitely a possibility of winning this match. Because I can see here that the New Zealand bowling line is much stronger than the South African team. South African bowlers Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen both took six wickets. Meanwhile, the South African team lost a wicket in the powerplay which is in a moment of great pressure for the South African team. Because to win, you must protect the wicket and survive till the end.

I don't know whether Bangladesh team's luck is good or bad luck because the rain is not stopping from Bangladesh team's luck. In the first innings of Bangladesh, the game was stopped due to rain and in today's match also, the game of Bangladesh team was stopped due to rain while batting. However, if the rain does not stop, the match may be declared abandoned. Meanwhile, the game between New Zealand and South Africa was stopped due to rain, but after some time, the game between New Zealand and South Africa started.  New Zealand finished the game before the rain and collected 321 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 50 overs. Meanwhile, South Africa have collected 46 runs with the loss of 1 wicket in 9.4 overs. A target of 322 runs which will not be easy for South Africa. Because right now South Africa need to collect 276 runs to win. But I see more chances of New Zealand to win today.Can you predict whether New Zealand will win or Australia will win?

South Africa is struggling in terms of the run rate and are at 60 runs with one wicket down. If they can manage to keep the wickets in hand, this match may become tense at the end but for now, South Africa not only needs to accelerate a bit but make sure that they do not lose wickets too.

Devon Conway played a very good innings of 78 runs before he was retired hurt. If he had played more, I am sure he would have made the century. Their captain Tom Latham , also played a good innings of 52 runs and helped their team make almost a match winning total (their bowlers of course need to defend this score).

I don't know whether Bangladesh team's luck is good or bad luck because the rain is not stopping from Bangladesh team's luck. In the first innings of Bangladesh, the game was stopped due to rain and in today's match also, the game of Bangladesh team was stopped due to rain while batting.

BAN Vs ENG are already started though overs is reduced in 40 overs. Score will not be even 200 because only one set player in the ground, Mehedi Miraz 74* (87), a bit chances if he can play until game ended then score can be reach 200. But ENG will be easily win against such lowest score. New Zealand collected 321 runs, definitely it’s a big score for the South Africa, they already lost 2 wickets, and RRR is over 7 where CRR is below 5, i think NZ will be win today's match.

New Zealand stood a  good total. New Zealand has good batting side and New Zealand  fielding is top class whole the World.If New Zealand bowlers take 3 wickets in 15 overs, it will be very difficult for South Africa to chase this score. Now, score of South Africa is  50 with fall of 1 wicket . Van der Dussen is playing very well, he played well in very difficult situations. If Van der Dussen stays on crease and made a century then South Africa  could win this match. In a few hours, it will be decide who will win this match. But match is very interesting and I am enjoying very well. I think match will go at the end.

Bangladesh scored 188 runs for 9 wickets and played 37 overs. the standard of play in Bangladesh is neither very good nor bad. they have only 1 wicket left so can't expect more than 200 runs from them. It doesn't look like Bangladesh will be able to complete the full 50 overs. England still have a chance to win the match as a target of less than 200 runs is not a big problem in ODI matches. However, it is doubtful how well England can play against Bangladesh

[onecall123]

Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first. Due to rain the warm-up match against England reduced to 37 overs. After playing 37 overs Bangladesh set a decent score of 188/9 against England in this ODI World Cup 2023 warm-up. Their batting performance could have been mush better if other batters played apart Tanzid Hasan and Mehidy Hasan. Now, it's up to the bowlers to defend this total against the English batters.

[rojan]

Bangladesh vs England match is delayed for rain, if match will start i think BD can be all out today because ENG is very strong team comparing with BD, they already lost 5 wickets in 30 overs, but i believe if BD can play 50 overs their target will be 250-270 although it will not be hard target for the England team i think. So today this warm-up match win probability is 90% for ENG.

Bangladesh team came to the field to bat first and gave a target of 188 runs in 37 overs. Bangladesh team came to the field to bat first and could not give a target of more runs. The run that they scored was not the right run for the Bangladesh team to win. The England team overcame this run very easily in the match.  Will win. England team bowler Reece Topley took 3 wickets with 23 runs in 5 overs. Willey took 2 wickets in 5 overs with 26 runs. Bangladesh team batsmen performed very badly in today's match.

Thats good total and with the bowling line-up from New Zealand it is possible to defend the score. Already South Africa have lost 3 wickets scoring 146 in 26 overs. In comparison with the scores after 26 overs, both were almost similar runs with South Africa losing 3 wickets. De Cock have reached his half century and Klaasen on the crease have got the potential to drive the team towards win.

England's batting looks like it's a T20 match. Bangladesh collected only 189 runs. The target for England today is 197 runs in 37 overs. England batting carefully will win very easily. But they are batting aggressively from the beginning of the innings. England collected 55 runs in 5 overs. England would be wrong to think Bangladeshi bowlers are weak or inexperienced now. England lost their two openers for 51 runs. Bairstow collected 34 runs off 21 balls. And Dawid Malan returned to the dressing room with 4 runs. England need 141 runs in 31 overs. It is not a difficult task. But if England's batsmen bat too aggressively then they are likely to lose. Bangladeshi bowlers have been performing quite well in recent times.

In comparison with the scores after 26 overs, both were almost similar runs with South Africa losing 3 wickets. De Cock have reached his half century and Klaasen on the crease have got the potential to drive the team towards win.

As South Africa Has now 4 gone on 180 runs, Trent Boult Is bowling quite nice. He has already taken 2 wickets in 5 overs. Although De kock is playing nicely after his fifty. David Miller comes to the bat and hits a six,  he is also a best batsman from the South Africa side.


The required run rate is not that much which is almost 7.30 Runs per over,  which is now a days in cricket is nothing. But the bowling of new zealand is so strong. Thinking that South Africa can give a tough time.

[2Pizza410000BTC]

A fall of wickets is inevitable to put England in a tough spot right now. England can only be kept in check if England's wickets fall quickly. Also, I don't think England can be beaten in today's match. Because Bangladesh did not perform well in the beginning, the Tigers of Bangladesh lost wickets quickly and created pressure in the team and could not score more runs. As soon as they scored 153, it started raining and the game was called off. Later the match started after the rain stopped and they were allotted 37 overs. Playing the next over, Bangladesh managed to score a total of 188 runs, again losing 9 wickets. Which is not very difficult for the England team to win. Right now England need 131 runs to win with 31 overs left. I think England won today's match.

322 runs is a big enough target on this pitch. New Zealand batsmen batted very well. It is difficult for South Africa to win by batting on this target. Although Hendricks did not play well, de Kock and Dussen managed to form a good partnership. Despite Dussen returning to the fold with 51 runs, de Kock remains unbeaten. South Africa collected 197 runs in 34 overs. de Kock is unbeaten on 72 runs. South Africa need 125 runs off 96 balls. It won't be difficult if de Kock and Miller stay at the crease. However, friendly matches have become very competitive. The teams are in pretty good rhythm. This year's World Cup is likely to be very competitive.

At the moment Bengali Tigers are doing very well bowling performance due to which England's run count is a bit firmer. The game I feel has already lost 3 great wickets in England which makes them vulnerable. As today's match was reduced to 37 overs due to rain, Bangladesh batsmen scored 188 runs. Although England is a strong team and it is not so easy for the Bangladeshi players to contain them, but if the bowling of Bangladesh can provide good supply, then victory for Bangladesh is definitely not possible. But I felt that Bangladesh might not be able to win against England today, it might be a tough challenge for Bangladesh. Of course, to win today's match, England need to score 108 runs from 170 balls, which is not a very difficult task for England, still England has a great batting team, so they can win easily. Also, Bangladesh may have a chance to win if some of England's more important wickets fall but England will be under some pressure, it may not be possible.

New Zealand vs South Africa, 7th Warm-up game New Zealand are batting in the first innings, and they scored 171 runs in 29 overs with the loss of 1 wicket. At the moment the game is stopped due to rain, otherwise the New Zealand batsmen could have scored a lot of runs by chatting brilliantly. Moreover, two New Zealand batsmen got retd hurt today, Kane Williamson and Devon Conway both scored good runs.  However, today's match was interrupted due to rain due to which both the teams are facing problems. The match will be suspended until the weather changes, with rain threatening the match.

New Zealand posted a good total 321/6 with fifties from Devon Conway and Tom Latham 52 runs score against South Africa in the warm-up match in Thiruvananthapuram. Devon Conway is retired hurt by scoring 78 runs and Kane Williamson also at 37. South Africa bowling is amazing Lungi Ngidi who took 33/3 wickets in 7 Over and Marco Jansen also took 3 wickets but economy rate is 5.63. Hundred up for South Africa in the 19th over while chasing 322 in their second warm-up game against New Zealand.

Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first. Due to rain the warm-up match against England reduced to 37 overs. After playing 37 overs Bangladesh set a decent score of 188/9 against England in this ODI World Cup 2023 warm-up. Their batting performance could have been mush better if other batters played apart Tanzid Hasan and Mehidy Hasan. Now, it's up to the bowlers to defend this total against the English batters.

Only two batsman of Bangladesh team show fantastic performance and both tried their best to give high target for England. But I feel that this target is not enough for England team because England is one of a strong team in international cricket. At this time, I feel that England is in danger situation because they lost 5 wickets and in which main players of England out like Jonny Bairstow, David Malan, Harry brook, Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone. They scored 137 runs in 17 overs and also they need 60 overs in 20 overs almost 120 balls. I predict that England team have high chance to win this match but if they secure their batters. Now match at full suspense and challenging match for both teams.

Disappointment gonna be part of ODI World Cup 2023. Was watching the match between South Africa and New Zealand. The target of 321 is really hard to chase, but New Zealand is in better position. If the match have ended and knowing the result is different. The rain showered and when New Zealand have scored 211/4 in 37 overs. The wait continued for some time period. Further both the captains have shaked hands and concluded the match through the DLS method. Based on the DLS method, New Zealand was supposed to score 219 runs to win the match. Short of 7 runs have made it a win for New Zealand.

Match between Bangladesh and England have come to an end. England have reached the target in 24.1 overs losing 6 wickets. It was Moeen Ali who gave a comeback with his 56 runs out of 39 balls when the Wickets continue to fall at regular interval.

[Westinhome]

Yeh it's true Bangladesh match is almost washed by rain because during first innings of Bangladesh batting rain interrupt and still ongoing, if match doesn't start within few hours then it will be another abondund match right before world cup. I think such rain interruption again and again really damage entire competition.
Anyway let's have a look on score card of NewZeland match against South Africa where NewZeland opener scored a decent runs byself and set a stage from upcoming rest of batters and thus due to some contribution from middle order they able to scored a 300+ target which they can easily defend through thier bowling Lineup, while opponent bowler like M. Jansen and Ngidi show some magic and took decent number of wickets throughout the match

Now the rain was playing huge impact on the cricket matches,this also happened in the Asia Cup.The Srilank had won the game against the Pakistan which is the semi final and important match by the rain.The DLS Method played the huge role in the semi final of Asia Cup.The warm up matches of the Bangladesh against the England was good one for Bangladesh.Because the Bangladesh should come to know the strength and weakness of the other teams before they start to join the game.Because they can beat the big team in the league of World Cup by this practice match.

What a drama we have witnessed today in this match between South Africa and New Zealand. At no point, we thought that South Africa could win the match but then the rain came, the DLS method came into play and guess what, we have South Africa, the winner of this match. Though the result of this match won't matter, as it is a warm up match, but recently we see to many warn up match getting badly effected by rain.

I am forecasting some big upsets in the upcoming world cup.
