ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Iranus]

England won the toss and elected to bowl first. After 2 quiet overs, Rohit Sharma changed gears and made his intentions very clear to the English bowlers. There is a lack of pace on this pitch, and batsmen will take time before get going. In the meantime, Gill departed by a beautiful inswinger after making 9 runs.
India is the favourite to win this match as they are in good form, and their two experienced batsmen are continuously scoring runs for them. England does have the potential to chase down big totals, but their batters are not in good nick, and they might struggle against Indian spinners. It will be an interesting contest.

The Indian team did not start the innings well today. India collected only 4 runs in the first two overs. At the end of 3 overs, India's collection was 22 runs. And now at the end of 7 overs, India's collection is 28 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. After the loss of Shubman Gill's wicket, India's batting slowed down. Although Kohli has batted brilliantly in the previous matches, today he returned to the dressing room without scoring any runs. Team India is now under pressure. Now if England's bowlers can bowl controlled then maybe India team will not be able to collect big. Today's match looks to be a competitive one. England team is confident today. However, their performance in the previous matches was very bad.

The pitch of Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is not batting friendly. It is bowling friendly pitch. Indian batsmen should have batted carefully. The Indian batsmen were  very well informed about the pitch. Yet they batted like fools. And lost wickets very quickly. After 15 overs, India's total is 50/3. India are now under a lot of pressure after losing three important top-order batsmen. If Rohit Sharma is not able to play big innings then it will be very difficult for India to collect 200 runs. If India can deliver a target of 260-280 on this pitch, it will be a good enough target to fight for. But I think England will win today's match.

[Suzume]

India vs England,

England is playing well it's look like it's too hard to cross 250 runs for India. The current situation of the match 80 in 3 wicket. Virat Kohli didn't play well he do 0 run in 9 balls. Let's see what's going to happen I think India will won the match.  

The scorecard is,
Rohit Sharma* 48(61)
KL Rahul 18(29)

India did not start the match well today and lost three early wickets cheaply. Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer all of these batsmen got out without troubling and making any scores. However, as you said this wicket at  Lucknow is not batting friendly, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul   are looking to stabilize the innings and both of them have taken the score to 100 runs.

If India can manage to keep wickets for last 10 overs, they can still reach a score near to 300 and it will be a match winning score on this pitch. Indian middle order is being tested today and so far KL Rahul along with Sharma are looking good.

At one time, the match was looking in England's favor but now the game is in balance and anyone can win this from here on in. If you get a good score on a bowling wicket, the chances increases for the team batting first.

India team is not performing so well in terms of batting today, they are under a lot of pressure against England team, India team lost three wickets. India team has collected 125 runs in 29 overs after losing wicket in power play. If England team can put pressure on the bowling side like this then India team has a chance to win today. Although the England team is the lowest in terms of performance, they will surely try hard today to save their reputation. Chris woakes has been the best bowling performer as two wickets have fallen. If the Indian team continues to accumulate runs like this, I think they will not be able to score more than 270 runs.

you are right. The pitch is not batting friendly. So if India is able to set a target like 280 then their chances of winning are high. On the other hand, England's batsmen are not in form. We have seen very poor batting from England in each of the previous matches. The last England team managed to collect only 156 runs against Sri Lanka. Such a poor batting order is unlikely to perform well against the Indian bowlers. However, England's players are all talented and experienced. They have the potential to have big collections if they bat responsibly.
At the end of 34 overs, India's collection was 147/4. Rohit Sharma is batting a bit slow now. Rohit Sharma needs only 15 more runs to score a century.

India is recovering well with right now they are having 154 for 4 Rohit on 85 and SKY 20 mean things are under control with England is doing impressive after losing many easy games most chances if Rohit and SKY stay few more overs than we can have 250 which could be good target to chase for the English side which is having not good time in batting.
Today from the start England done good bowling and having Gill and Kohli early which helps them for keeping things under control Rohit having very good time with captaincy and as batsman which is good sign, but now it's crucial time for them, they need to stay positive if they want to have good control in this event and want to win this world cup third time.

[Cheema02]

England need to play for their pride. Even though they cannot qualify for the next stage (semi finals) but they should try to win the remaining matches and try to climb up on the points table. It does not look good that the former world champion England team is among the low teams in this WC.

I checked the odds and India will win this match one sided.  The difference between the odds is too much. I think it is good to bet on India today and get 1.44 winning odds.

England decided to bowl first against Indian that a good decision in Lucknow. Shubman Gill out for just 9 runs and Virat kholi is out for duck against England. Shubman and Kohli Gone Rohit Stays For India Good, Rohit should be out cheaply as well and then the rest should do it for India today This is the only problem India has to cover in this World Cup, Their elimination in knockouts have been due to the failure of top order after a successful campaign.

 The middle and lower order are not subjected to pressure mostly india current score is 163 runs in loss of 4 wickets in 36 overs. Rohit Sharma is playing on 87 runs unbeaten in 99 balls and Suryakumar Yadav is playing at 24 not out in 21 balls. If the partnership between Rohit Sharma ans Suryakumar Yadav is continued till 45 overs then india will go to 280 plus total for England. If England bowlers successfully restricted India in under 250 then they have strong chances to win this match.

[Patrol69]

India vs England,

England need 230 runs from 300 balls to win this crucial match against India. Keeping a team like India below 250 runs is not an easy task. England have lost a few matches in a row and they are trying to recover and maybe they will get back to winning ways with the India match. Chasing 230 runs, there is nothing not to win then opponents England. With enough balls in hand and enough runs on the wicket, England's batsmen should not be so aggressive early on. England's batsmen have tried to attack too much from the beginning in all the matches and because of this they have lost most of the matches. England must be patient today and leave the field after winning this match today.

With good batting order this is going to be an easy win for England team. Today England bowlers were awesome to break partnerships. In most of the Matches of India strong opening partnership gets built. In today's match early wickets of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer made it a low scoring match. Rohit Sharma stood strong, but he missed his century. Rahul also contributed good, but went for the wrong shot and lost his wicket. Team batting first have got higher win based on the past matches played in Lucknow.

England had started good and Bumrah have come to form taking back to back wickets of Malan and Root. This is completely unexpected from the England team and there'll be pressure then onwards. If I'm not wrong England will move towards slow scoring as wickets have begun to fall.

Bumrah on fire 🔥🔥🔥!
England got off to a great start but J Bumrah managed to put pressure on England's batting line by taking Joe Root LBW on the first ball as well as breaking the opening pair. If England can't deal with defensive mood then today's match will be very difficult for England.

The Indian team looked under pressure for the first time. Often their openers provide a good partnership. Due to which the middle order players are able to get the score to a good target without any pressure, but today shubman Gill 9 runs and Virat Kohli dismissal for no runs caused pressure for the middle order players.India three best players had returned to the pavilion for just 40 runs. Rohit Sharma played an excellent responsible innings and none of the players could stay at the crease for long.

 However, all England's bowlers performed well. A target of 230 runs is a low target that can only be defended if the Indian bowlers manage to get all the England players out. At this time 6 overs have been played and the England team has scored 33 runs for the loss of two players which is definitely a good sign for India.

I understand that India did not bat well but I think they did a good job playing the full 50 overs and did not lose all their wickets before 50 overs and managed to score 229 runs. At that time we felt that it may not be enough runs but as soon as the Indian team started bowling and took 5 quick wickets, all of sudden this total may seem adequate for the Indian team.

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami took 2 wickets each and one wicket was taken by Kuldeep Yadav. With England, only 5 wickets remaining and the way the Indian bowlers are dominating at the moment, it is easy to predict that India may win this match even though they scored a mere of 229 runs.

Edit: Shami took another wicket just now,  Moeen Ali gone. England was 6 down now.

England bowled beautifully to the Indian batters. It seems that they have a plan against the Indian top order. Rohit Sharma was exceptional in his inning. Initially, the target of 230 looked below par even at a two-paced wicket, but Indian bowlers started building pressure on English batters from bowl one. England is 81/6 in 23.1 overs, and they are looking for a miracle. I am of the opinion that this game is almost over for England; from now on, they will only be consuming deliveries and time.

[Out of mind]

India vs England,

England is playing well it's look like it's too hard to cross 250 runs for India. The current situation of the match 80 in 3 wicket. Virat Kohli didn't play well he do 0 run in 9 balls. Let's see what's going to happen I think India will won the match.  

The scorecard is,
Rohit Sharma* 48(61)
KL Rahul 18(29)

India team is not performing so well in terms of batting today, they are under a lot of pressure against England team, India team lost three wickets. India team has collected 125 runs in 29 overs after losing wicket in power play. If England team can put pressure on the bowling side like this then India team has a chance to win today. Although the England team is the lowest in terms of performance, they will surely try hard today to save their reputation. Chris woakes has been the best bowling performer as two wickets have fallen. If the Indian team continues to accumulate runs like this, I think they will not be able to score more than 270 runs.

Comparatively, you can see that India scored good runs today against England, although the score is lower than other matches. India team was under a bit of pressure losing wickets in the power play but at the end of the game they scored 229 runs, I think it's a huge score for the team in England. Moreover, in today's match, England batting in the second innings can score very good runs and losing their wicket they are batting in desperation. England team has lost 6 wickets at the moment, which I think it will not be possible for the team to reach the target of victory at all. England may not be able to survive in the end, as soon as they get all out and lose the match to India. Moreover, India have been batting brilliantly at home and have won every match so far. India has not lost a match so far in ICC but have won every match and this World Cup may be taken by India.

[2Pizza410000BTC]

India is unbeaten so far and seems like they will remain unbeaten at least before Semis. England don't have much chance today against mighty India, they have just won one game so far and that'sagainst Bangladesh. If you are betting then its very risky to bet against India. India already in semis and England out from tournament. So it won't matter what will be outcome of today's game.

Today is the 29th match of this ODI World Cup, which is India vs England. Today’s match was played in Lucknow and I can bet that today the stadium of Lucknow will full with a full crowd because today is the match where the hosts India is playing and also today is Sunday means a holiday so many people in India will come to watch this match, which motivates Indian players to win this match.

Anyway, India has more chances to win because India is in the first position and England is in the last position, which is a very bad position in the point table even the Netherlands is upper than England in the point table (at least at the current date).

op you are right that Lucknow Stadium will be full of spectators and there will be spectators in the stadium of India. After winning the Asia Cup, India's confidence has increased manifold. India played very well in the Asia Cup matches. They maintained their consistency in the World Cup and won five of the five matches they played. India take to the field against England today as they get to bat first I think they will score above 350. If India can score above 350 then England cannot win this match. Their bowling line is very good, I think India has more chances to win this match. Finally let's see who the match will be. Because cricket is a game of uncertainty, any team can burn on the field at any time.

When the match started, it looked like India would lose by a big margin to England today. India went into bat early and collected 229 runs in the allotted 50 overs for the loss of 9 wickets. When 6 wickets were lost before 160 runs I thought India would be all out before they could even score 200 runs today. However, in the end Tao managed to score 229 runs in 50 overs with the loss of 9 wickets. Batting with a target of 230 runs, England are under a lot of pressure at the moment as England managed just 84 runs for 6 wickets. England now need to score 146 runs in 25 overs to win. England's current performance looks like they are going to lose to India today. I could never have imagined that England, who won the World Cup, would perform so poorly in this World Cup.

Of course they can win this match from England's current position but India's win is more likely than England's win in this match. In the wicket are Liam Livingston and Chris Woakes, these two are very important for England as England have already lost 6 wickets so if this wicket pair can't form a good partnership then it is impossible for England to win this match.

India scored 219 runs in the first innings so initially I thought that a team like England would easily chase down the target of 230 runs and win. England's dream of this World Cup is over but if they fail to finish this World Cup tournament in the bottom eight of the points table, they will not have the opportunity to play the Champions Trophy.

Shubman Gill got out very quickly today India played full 50 overs but could not collect a big run. But anyway their bowling performance looks very good. England scored 98 runs but they have already lost 7 wickets and in the condition England are in now they will lose their remaining wickets very quickly. so India seems to win the match very easily. And as per their performance, England will lose the match against India by more than 100 runs today. Meanwhile, although South Africa and India are on equal points in the points table, South Africa is in the number one position, but after the end of this match, India will move to the number one position in the points table.

Game is very much over as India just need 2 more wickets to wrap up this match. England bowlers did a good job to restrict India to 229 but there batsmen failed to play Indian bowling. India is still unbeatable after there 6 matches. England had a great chance to win today's game but they missed that golden opportunity.

England's current performance looks like they are going to lose to India today. I could never have imagined that England, who won the World Cup, would perform so poorly in this World Cup.

I actually thought like you after seeing the performance of the first innings, I thought maybe England will come back a little in this match. But I was completely wrong. India is the only unbeatable team in this ICC World Cup so far, and I don't think any team can beat India. In the beginning, three wickets were lost for only 40 runs in 12 overs. Virat Kohli Shubman Gill's performance disappointed me today.
However, although India's batting performance was bad today, they did not do bad in bowling performance. Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav are all bowling brilliantly. England already lost their 8 wickets and they are only 101 runs whereas their target is 230 runs, I don't think England can win this match with two more wickets. I think this World Cup will be considered as a worse World Cup for England. They have managed to win just one match out of the last five matches and this match will add another match to their tally of losses.
