350 runs target would have been reasonable in today's match. The openers of Bangladesh made a good start, they would have easily reached above 300+ runs if the middle order players batted with responsibilities. But the middle order players has shown pathetic performance today. India is going to win the match very easily. India and New Zealand could be the finalists in this world cup.

One of the reasons why Bangladesh fought a relatively weak team in this match is that Shakib Al Hasan is injured.When Shakib Al Hasan is in the team, the team has an added motivation and energy.If the middle order batsmen could have played the way Bangladesh's opening batting started today, 300 plus runs would surely have been scored.But unfortunately it didn't happen due to which India went on to win the match very easily.

This match is again will be won by India. India batsmen did 230 plus scores together, and the target was 256 scores, till now, India won all the matches that they played in this World Cup. By the way, mostly India won their all matches in the ODI World Cup, the biggest example is that you can see the 2019 ODI World Cup that World Cup India won the all matches and they lost the Semi-Final. I know that India lost their one match against Afghanistan but also India lost Semi-Final. Anyway, Virat Kholi is near to the century, he needs 8 scores to century and the target for India also remains 8 runs.

The match is between Bangladesh bowlers and Virat Kohli whether he will be able to reach another century, KL Rahul missed a century early in the tournament and Virat Kohli is in that situation as they need just 2 more runs to win and Bangladesh bowlers might bowl no ball or a wide rather than allowing Virat to score a century.

Edit:
Even the umpires are not giving wide even when the bowlers are bowling wide outside the leg stump  .

Now Virat reached his century with a six, 48 th century in ODI .

Bangladesh really should have scored at least 300. When I saw the great start that Bangladesh got in this match, I thought they were going to reach at least 350. And I also almost knew that if Bangladesh does not score, 360, they are not going to win this match. And in the end, Bangladesh ended up scoring only something more than 250. I know it was not even 260.

As soon as I saw the target, I knew that India was not going to face any problems winning this match. Because The track was really flat. There was nothing for the bowlers and Bangladesh still managed to perform pretty badly, lol. In the end Virat Kohli got his century and India has won the match just now by seven wickets.

[rojan]

India team won by 7 wickets. I placed a bet against India team in this match. I thought that Bangladesh team might perform well and win the match. But due to the bad performance of Bangladesh team players, Bangladesh team has to lose today's match. India team bowling.  And the batting line is much stronger than the Bangladesh team. The game between the two teams was very beautiful.

Haha i freaking loved it, good on the umpire as he knew the bowler deliberately bowled a negative leg side line. How many times do you see the batter getting angry when the bowler bowling a wide? I reckon, never lol.

So happy for the king it was a full wholesome moment tbh. Indians are going strong and i really hope no brain fade moment in the knockouts.

Hasan Mahmud actually bowled a wide against Kohli and it was given. But in the next over, when Nasum Ahmed bowled well outside the leg stump umpire refused to call it as wide. IMO, he did the right thing. In all probability the Bangladesh bowlers were trying to prevent Kohli from scoring his hundred. But in the end, none of these tactics worked, as Kohli hit a six and ended up with unbeaten 103. Credit needs to be given to KL Rahul at the other end. He was patient and refused to take singles in order to keep Kohli in strike.

The way India started batting today, it seemed that India could not be stopped even by 350 runs. The day started well but Bangladesh lost quick wickets at crucial moments and the score went down a lot. Bangladesh were under a lot of pressure due to rapid loss of wickets, under pressure Bangladesh managed to score 256 for 8 in the allotted 50 overs. Although I initially predicted India to win, being a Bangladeshi I expected Bangladesh to win. Here I know that Bangladesh can't expect to achieve such a big dream but I hope if Bangladesh can bowl well then India can be restricted to 256 runs. Because I responded by defeating India in the Asia Cup. With their fourth win in a row, India are now second in the points table. Meanwhile, New Zealand has won the fourth match in a row and is at the top of the points table at number 1. I also hope that in this 2023 World Cup New Zealand and India will participate in the final game.

[3kpk3]

Virat 'King' Kohli! This wasn't his best century by a mile, but it was an entertaining one for sure since Bangladesh literally gave up on winning and only focused on trying to stop him from reaching his century at the end.

Miraz was the only great bowler while the rest were mediocre. All teams barring Sri Lanka still have a chance at qualifying for the top-4 spots.

His face and that expression when the wide was deliberately bowled was of sheer frustration. The umpire did the right thinking in not calling it a wide. If he did called it a wide still there were few runs left for Kohli to hit a 4 or a 6 to complete his century.

The Indian team is so different in this ICC contest than they were in the past. Not only the atting but in bowling and fielding they have been way above an average Indian player. Not to forget Rohit's captaincy has been very calculative, agressive and to the point.

India defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets to secure their fourth consecutive win Chase down the target 261/3 and remain unbeaten in World Cup. A comfortable victory for India in world cup. Virat Kohli batted well scored century 103 not out in just 97 balls Shubman Gill shine with the bat scored 53 runs for India against Bangladesh in Pune. Virat Kohli was named the player of the match for his outstanding knock against Bangladesh in Pune. Jasprit Bumrah 2/60 and Mohammed Siraj 2/41 each picked up two wickets which helped India to restricted Bangladesh innings.

Virat Kohli's 100 like century ensured India a great victory. Bangladesh started well, but needed 300+ runs to secure victory against India. India won this match very easily. Hope the team will be able to win the World Cup title.

It's really good days going on for team India after long time in ODI world Cup, first most of thier injured player recovered (like bumrah and Rahul) and make entry with really good form which give them extra confidence at thier home grounds. Anyway they deserve victory because thier preparation and dedication for world cup is at any level that why they are unbeaten even against one of thier top rival paksitan.
If we look at thier squad each and every player are delivering thier best, I am especially really impressed by bumrah so it will be really difficult challenge for any top team to beat them at thier home ground and broke thier momentum. If we have a look at score board they way Bangladesh start I taught they will be scored 350 around but again middle order collapse broke thier rythm and thus they just scored an easy chaseable target for India.

New Zealand and India are on top in terms of performance in this World Cup. Here I was optimistic about South Africa. But their performance did not seem consistent. Because they lost against a normal team. Defeats against any team in cricket are not unusual but losing to Netherlands doesn't give me confidence to go far with them. Still I know why I think either of these two teams South Africa and Pakistan can come. There are still several games left. But your assumption definitely rational because India and New Zealand are yet to lose a single match. So they have the highest chance of winning the World Cup.

I was also optimistic about South Africa. But now I am looking more strong New Zealand team. I am thinking that the India and New Zealand will play the final match. But I may be wrong. But there are the chances of Pakistan team too. But like South Africa they also don't have consistency. So I think New Zealand can win the world cup.

Despite South Africa being in great form, they lost against the Netherlands. I think they considered the Netherlands team very weak, neglected. They do their homework properly about the Netherlands players. South Africa were overconfident. This is why they lost. Still, I'd say they'll be back in the truck next game. South Africa will win against a mighty team like England. If they can beat England, I'd say they'll qualify for the semi-finals.

Pakistan has a strong squad. However, the performance of their batting order is erratic. Because of this, it is difficult to make predictions about the performance of this team. Tomorrow they will play against Australia. Australian players are not in form. I consider Pakistan team as favorite in this match. I hope the team will not disappoint me in this match.

Nothing final can be expected from Australia and Pakistan in this World Cup. However, the reliability of Australia's batsmen is more than that of Pakistan because the only reliable batsman among Pakistan's batsmen is Mohammad Rizwan, the rest of the batsmen are able to contribute a lot for Pakistan. The way Mohammad Rizwan is performing, if 2-4 more Pakistani batsmen can perform well with him, it will not be difficult for Pakistan to beat Australia in today's match. If Babar Azam, who is number one in ODI format, is in good form then today's match can be a positive for Pakistan. As for Australia, there is an imbalance in the entire Australian team. Along with bad captaincy, there is a lack of good performance from the batsmen and bowlers, so the fact that a strong team like Australia was bowled out for less than 200+ runs is proof of that bad captaincy.

The batsmen of Bangladesh team performed well from the power play but performed very poorly towards the end of the game. Liton Das and Tanzid Hasan have done enough to take the Bangladesh team to a high level of runs since the beginning of the game. But the subsequent players could not hold the game and the fall of wickets destroyed the Bangladesh team. But in today's match, if the Indian team would have given more scores, the Indian team would still have won. Because only three wickets fell for the Indian team. India team has won 4 out of 4 matches so I think New Zealand team is at the same top of the points table. Definitely I think India team and New Zealand team will play the final match and quite reasonable.

South Africa took it seriously, but they never expected the lower order to perform and contribute. Netherlands were 50/4 in 15 overs. Further wickets continued to fall at regular interval, but the score came gradually at a higher runrate. This made them reach good score of 245 runs in 43 overs. While chasing there'll pressure when the opening order collapse and the same happened here. None were able to stand wicket and perform under the pressure.

Australia and Pakistan were at the best, but things weren't going in favour of them in the previous matches. This time both the teams playing against each other will be more interesting. Earlier in the warm-up match both the teams played and it was kind of levelled game as both the teams didn't mind the winning as Australia had set a target of 350 runs and Pakistan reached 337 runs.

South Africa had Netherlands down to 140/7 (when Logan van Beek got out). At this point they became careless and allowed Scott Edwards and Roelof van der Merwe to build a 8th wicket partnership of 64 runs. Even after Roelof got out, Aryan Dutt came to the crease and lit up some fireworks. The 9th wicket partnership added 41 runs from just 3 overs, with most of the runs being sored by Dutt. The South African captain made a few blunders as well. He allowed the wayward Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi to complete 9 overs, but the best bowler (Marco Jansen) got just 8 overs.

Both teams are almost equal in performance so today match will be interesting. There will be high chances of winning of Australia if Australia will play first turn and will set a target of 300+ runs. So it will make difficulties and a little pressure on Pakistani team. By the way we can't say anything at this time anything can happen.
