ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

These surprises are in terms of teams lowering their performances when something good was expected of them. Srilanka, England and West Indies (could not qualify) were just disappointed but we can say that the Netherlands and Afghanistan showed some good performances like Afghanistan beating Pakistan and England while the Netherlands team beat South Africa and Bangladesh.

Coming to today's first match at Pune, Australia won the toss and rightly decided to bowl first. Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan started the innings slowly but carefully and they have made 20 runs in 5 overs but did not lose any wickets. Being the last match of Bangladesh they would really like to go home with a win against a big team Australia. Let's see how they play these 50 overs and if they can manage to score 300+ runs giving their bowlers something to defend at this ground.

Bangladesh going good so far. After 14 overs they are 96/1 and there predicted target is 300 at the moment. Tanzid Hasan is the only batsmen getting out this morning. If Bangladesh not lose quick wickets then there is very much possibility that they can give a target of 300 runs. Bangladesh top priority will be to finish 8th in this table so that they can play next champions trophy.

Both the openers were dismissed after scoring 36 runs. Bangladesh's two openers have been able to perform well. Often we don't even see 50 runs from Bangladesh's opening pair.

Apart from the two openers, Shanto and Hridoy's batting is also quite good today. Bangladesh collected 147 runs after losing two wickets in 24 overs. Nazmul Hasan Shanto remained unbeaten on 38 off 44 balls and Towhid Hridoy on 23 off 22 balls. Today we can see more responsible batting from Hridoy. Then there are experienced batsmen like Mushfiq, Mahmudullah and Miraz. If Bangladesh don't lose any more wickets today before 35 overs then they will give a target of more than 320 today. I will not be surprised if Bangladesh wins today's match.

[Cheema02]

Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first. Bangladesh current score is 201 runs in loss of only 3 wickets in 32 overs. T. Hridoy is playing at 41 runs not out in just 43 balls and Mahmudullah is playing at 24 runs. This partnership between Hridoy and Mahmudullah is very Crusial for Bangladesh to set a big total for Australia. Bangladesh batters performance was outstanding especially Shanto who scored 45 runs 57 balls and run out by Marnus Labuschagne and missed his half century by 5 runs short. Australia bowling performance is not good they only picked 3 wickets Abbott picked only 1 wickets by giving 36 runs in 6 over and Adam zampa also picked 1 wickets by 21 runs only in 7 overs. Bangladesh now looking to cross 300 plus total

Knee jerk reaction from the sports ministry so it surely does look ugly but this problem should be resolved soon and we have a good 6-7 months window for T-20 WC.

The main issue would be WTC matches. SL only played 2 test matches so far and if they are scheduled to play some matches in the next 1-2 months then those fixtures might face cancellation.

I don't really care about Sri Lanka. They are a team in decline. IMO, providing 30x more funds to teams like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and West Indies when compared to stronger associate nations such as Netherlands and Scotland doesn't make sense. Hopefully the ICC will re-distribute funds to smaller nations and it will create a level playing field. Back in 2016, the ICC suspended CAN (Cricket Association of Nepal) and for a period from 2016 to 2019 Nepal didn't received any sort of ICC funding. The same criteria should be applied to Sri Lanka as well.   

I am not so sure about any major decline with the Srilankan team. Some fine young cricketers are in line and they looked promising in the Asia Cup, then disaster happened in the finals against India because the team was more or less inexperienced due to an injury fiasco in the squad. IMO with a little more experience they will do fine.

I am all in for the growth of associates but crippling SL cricket or existing test nations in return is not the right decision.

Bangladesh now looking to cross 300 plus total

If Bangladesh can score 300 plus runs then definitely the Australian team will be under a lot of pressure. Because Bangladesh has been in very good batting form since the beginning although they have shown the best performance of this season today. Especially if Bangladesh had done such a performance from the beginning of this season, then there was definitely a possibility of being selected in the qualifier match. However, since the Australian team has been selected for the qualifiers, they will not play under much pressure today. However, Australia team is better than Bangladesh team in terms of batting performance. And today's ground is famous for its batting pitch because of which any team can score good runs whenever the game is played.

[Bitcoin_people]

The Bangladesh team is batting in the first innings against Bangladesh. Bangladesh have been able to produce a great score so far with the loss of 8 wickets. Bangladesh team has collected 306 runs in today's match if Bangladesh can perform well in the next innings against Australia then it will be possible to keep Australian batsmen under pressure. Although today's match we know Bangladesh will be very tough against Australia, probably Australia will win today. But unfortunately if the Bangladesh team can bowl well then maybe it will be possible to beat Australia. And if Australia loses the match today, it will not hurt them because they have already been selected for the semi-finals.

Australia vs Bangladesh match Australia won the toss and decided to field first. Bangladeshi batsmen have done a great performance today. Bangladesh has given a target of 307 runs to Australia with their excellent batting. 2023 World Cup Bangladesh was a batting disaster. Today is their last match. Bangladesh batted brilliantly in today's match. Bangladesh's high score of 306 runs in this World Cup. The target of 307 runs will not be very difficult for Australia. But if Bangladesh bowlers can bowl well then Bangladesh can win today's match. We know Australia have great batsmen, David Warner is a great batsman. Still, as a Bangladeshi cricket fan, I want Bangladesh to win today. Best wishes for the Bangladesh team.

Bangladesh has scored the highest score in this World Cup today. Bangladesh scored 306 runs with a great performance against a strong team like Australia. Today is their best performance in all the matches Bangladesh has played in this World Cup. Today Bangladesh's top order batting did well and middle order batsmen performed very well. Towhid Hridoy had a very good performance today scoring 74 off 79 balls. Australia need to score 307 runs from 300 balls to win. Bangladesh has been able to give enough targets today. If Bangladesh can get Australia's top order batsmen out quickly, Bangladesh will have a chance to win. But Australia is in great form, Australia's chances of winning today are slightly higher.

Bangladesh batting performance outstanding scored 306 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs. T. Hridoy batting amazingly scored 74 runs by 79 balls and Najmul Hossain Shanto also batting well scored 45 runs. Hridoy miss his century by 26 runs short. Australia poor bowling performance only adam Zampa picked up 2 wickets by giving 32 runs in 10 overs and Sean Abbott also pick 2 important wicktes by giving 61 runs in 10 overs. Stoinis only picked 1 wickets by give so many runs 45 runs in 5 overs and Bangladesh reached 300 plus total against Australia in world cup and now favourites to win this match.

[Publictalk792]

So today there are two matches. First is between Bangladesh and Australia. Bangladesh took the first turn and made 306 with the lost of 8 wickets. Australia is now playing and made 36 runs in 5 overs and lost one wicket.
Second match is between England and Pakistan. England won the toss and chose to bat first and made 91 runs in 15 overs and lost only one wicket. Jonny Bairstow is playing well and made 50 runs on 50 balls with 1 six and 6 fours.

[Sithara007]

Surprising fight from Bangladesh. They got to a total of 306/8 after batting first, which itself is a big achievement for them. But Australia looks quite solid in their innings. They are at 110/1, with David Warner and Mitchell Marsh at the crease. These two have added 98 runs so far for the second innings (Taskin Ahmed got Travis Head out when the total was just 12 runs). Anyway, this match is irrelevant, as the semi-final positions are already confirmed. Anyway, the second match is getting interesting. England, quite predictably chose to bat first. And that erased whatever small chance that Pakistan had, to qualify for the semi-finals.

Stoinis only picked 1 wickets by give so many runs 45 runs in 5 overs and Bangladesh reached 300 plus total against Australia in world cup and now favourites to win this match.

Batting inning of Bangladesh squad was thrilling but in this match this performance has no benefit now because Bangladesh squad already eliminate from this cup and Australia squad also reached in semi final match with 12 points if they will get victory from Bangladesh squad they points increase to 14 points that's enough for semi final qualification. If Bangladesh squad perform lik this in previous matches then they obviously get a chance for playing of semi final match against other squad. Bangladesh squad set a good defending target of 306 scores for Australia squad. But their bowling inning was not commendable, they are not stopping Australia squad from defending target. At this moment, Australia squad defend almost 293 scores and they need 15 scores off 42 balls.

[synchronym]

England set Pakistan a target of 338 runs. Pakistan's hopes of playing in the semi-finals were over. If England could have been bowled out within 200 runs, it would have been good for Pakistan. England did not perform well in this World Cup. Today they turned around and gave Pakistan a target of 338 runs by batting brilliantly. Pakistan has to bat very responsibly in the target of 338 runs. The equation that ICC has put in front of Pakistan for the semi-finals. It is also a matter of concern whether Pakistan will win today's match against England if it is not possible for Pakistan to go to the semi-finals. If Pakistan's opening pair starts well, they can win by 338 runs.

[Bitcoin_people]

Australia team collected a huge win against Bangladesh by 8 wickets. Australia team batted brilliantly to score 307 runs against Bangladesh which was truly remarkable. Although this was the last match of this 2023 World Cup for Bangladesh, today the Bangladesh team has to leave the ICC. The Australian team has already been selected for the semi-final and they will play the semi-final match against South Africa. However in today's match Mitchell Marsh had a great batting performance against Bangladesh scoring 177 runs off 132 balls to score a double century, but this target was not achieved and the unbeaten win the match. His batting was superb and he held the game from the start, for which they got a huge win. However, Bangladesh's bowling performance was not very good due to which they conceded a lot of runs due to which they lost the match. Anyway Australia has a strong team in the current World Cup, we have seen Maxwell single handedly beat the team against Afghanistan earlier, Mitchell Marsh single handedly beat the team today too. Due to their excellent batting performance, they have won every match and secured the World Cup semi-final.

[Suzume]

Bangladesh played a great innings today. Australia won the toss and decided to ball first. Bangladeshi has made 306 run in 50 overs. Towhid Hridoy played 75 runs great innings. Today's batting performance is satisfied of Bangladesh cricket. The improve their batting but they have to improve their fielding sector. Today we lost the match but the batting performance of Bangladesh cricket team is improve from previous. Satisfied maths from Bangladesh cricket team.

Yeah. Their batsmen performed pretty well against a strong Australian bowling lineup which surprised me. Their bowling unit continues to under-perform as usual which is primarily why Bangladesh lost so many matches.

On the other hand, Australian batsmen are on fire, but their bowling unit excluding Zampa are under-performing too frankly speaking.

[Suzume]

England vs  Pakistan

England win the toss and played a great innings of 337 runs in 9 wickets. A great batting innings gifted by England team cricket team player. The England batsman played a great innings high strength has done by Ben stocks. Ben stocks 84 runs in 76 balls.

The bowlers of Pakistan played well Haris Rafu take 3 wickets by given 64 runs in 10 overs. Shahid Afridi get 2 wickets buy giving 72 runs in 10 overs. Mohammed wasim Jr takes 2 wickets by giving 74 runs in 10 over.

The winning possibility is goes on England cricket team because the batting sector is not too much good chasing 337 runs. I think England will won the match.

[HelliumZ]

Pakistan target 6.4 over 338 runs
Accomplishing the target in front of Pakistan is a rare event in cricket as 338 runs in six overs is unreal. Therefore, Pakistan's dream of qualifying for the semi-finals is never realized. But I hope that Pakistan will play well and win today's match for now.

Today match is the Bangladesh and Australia. Australia won the toss and elected batting.Bangladesh batsman makes 11 run in 2 over and Australia no any wicket against Bangladesh. Bangladesh batsman makes 62 run in 10 over and 0 outs. The Australian bowler got the first win by bowling the Bangladesh opener in the first ball of the 11th over.Bangladesh batsman makes 136 run in 23 over and 2 outs. Bangladesh batsman makes 239 run in 40 over and 4 outs.Bangladesh batsman 206 target for Australia team.Australia complete the target And won the match.

Pakistan target 6.4 over 338 runs
Accomplishing the target in front of Pakistan is a rare event in cricket as 338 runs in six overs is unreal. Therefore, Pakistan's dream of qualifying for the semi-finals is never realized. But I hope that Pakistan will play well and win today's match for now.

It is not only difficult for Pakistan to make it to the semi-finals, but it also seems very difficult to achieve the target of 338 runs.To score 338 runs in six overs is really difficult and impossible, but here it seems that Pakistan will not be able to score 338 runs even in 50 overs.So far, Pakistan has scored 61 runs in 14 overs and 3 of its players have been dismissed.

Both the openers have returned to the pavilion at 10 runs. Fakhar Zaman for one run and Abdullah Shafiq for no runs have been dismissed. After England's good performance in batting, they continued their good performance in bowling. David willey sent both openers back to the pavilion with 16 runs in five overs. I think Pakistan will not be able to win this match as their top three batsmen are out for 61 runs and their run rate is just 4.36.It seems that Pakistan wants to end its World Cup journey with a bad performance.
