ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

The World Cup will come to an end this Sunday. How it’s started people were very excited about this Cup but slowly when the World Cup started many teams exceeded or fell behind expectations.

Anyway, the final match is near, and India and Australia are in the final so let’s see who will win. I think only Australia can take India to the loss because Australia has amazing players, as you have seen in the semi-final. Australia's bowling line-up is one of the best line-ups because they bowl all South African batsman in just 212 runs so they can do anything, this is fear to the Indian team, only Australia can beat India in the final.

The Australian team are hard to beat when they reach the finals. Fingers crossed for the Sunday's final.

For sure it is going to be an exciting match. Australia is one of the few teams who can give effective competition to India within Indian conditions. And you might have noticed another thing during all these years. Australia always get to their peak form during the closing stages in different ICC tournaments. They may start poorly (this time they lost the first two matches), but as time progresses they get better and better. Even now they will start as the underdogs for the final match, but it is not going to be cakewalk for the Indians.

It is true, at the end of the tournaments Australia team used to be in its best form. In this world cup same thing happened. Started with a loss against India, followed by the loss against South Africa. Then onwards it begun to dominate and at the end had a critical experience against Afghanistan. Atlast in the semi-final match every player performed well. Particularly the fielding from the Australian players is very good and the same saved them lot many runs. Final match is going to be tough fight between the two. The home crowd serves to be a support for India team, however the match is predicted to be dominated by Australia.

I think we will see the dominance of Indian players in this match like in previous matches. India is not willing to let this World Cup go outside India in any way. They want to be world champions by any means. We saw in the first match against Australia, that Australia batted very badly against the Indian bowlers. Jadeja in particular bowled brilliantly. On the other hand, the pitch of Narendra Modi Stadium is spin friendly. Looking forward to seeing how the Australian batsmen perform against Jadeja. But if Australia's two openers get off to a good start, the team has the potential to score big against India as Travis Head and David Warner are very experienced players. And since they perform regularly in the IPL, they are very familiar with the pitches in India.

The final match is here and people are very excited about the match, especially Indian players and people are so excited about the match because India hosts the World Cup and they are in the final, and if you want some bounce, the match set to play on Sunday and the ground is Ahmedabad Modi stadium, that is a great stadium of cricket in India, and Indian team is more than confident because they won against Pakistan on that pitch.

The wonderful battle is coming soon, Also remember that both teams were met in the 2003 World Cup final and in that time Australia won the match and also won the trophy so the situation is the same.

Home team India is definitely strong on home ground as India played Pakistan at Narendra Modi Stadium. The Indian team won against Pakistan by a huge margin so the final match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium. So, of course, the chances of India winning this final match are very high. Although the Indian team and the Australian team faced each other this season, the Indian team won by 6 wickets. So I think India can definitely win this final match as they will be considered as the best team if they can keep the wicket and stay on the field till the end.

India is an unbeaten team so far in this World Cup, India won all the matches in the first leg and also in the semi-final match by defeating New Zealand by a huge margin to secure the final from the semi-final. India will play the final against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium on the 19th. Even if a strong Australia plays the final against India, I would say India will win the final match. The way India is performing in this World Cup tournament, as far as I know, they have not been able to perform like this in any World Cup in the past. They will definitely win this World Cup tournament at their home ground. The spotlight will definitely be on Virat Kohli Mohammad Shami against Australia. India must field first if they win the toss in Ahmedabad.

South Africa had a very promising team this time and they were very likely to play the final match. But Australia is gradually overtaking South Africa as well and becoming a rival of India. Australia is trying to make a stronger entry in the final match. South Africa losing such a match today really surprises us. Australia played really well today. they have also shown great performances in bowling and they have done very well in batting as well. Australia were under a bit of pressure due to their quick loss of wickets but recovered quite easily

That was an excited match. In the beginning I thought that Australia will won this match very easily but after falling the fourth wicket. Australia team performance become little bit vernable. I see lots of catch dropped by South African fielders so this is one kind of bad luck for them. Anyway from the South African team David miller tried his best. At the end of the day Australia on this match by making little bit hard from the easy game. Even then I would like to congratulation to Australia team for qualifying final.

Against South Africa, Australia scored 90 plus runs in the first 13 overs, so it was a great start for Australia, but it was beyond our expectations that they would have such a poor performance towards the end. Australia lost a lot of wickets towards the end and they were under a lot of pressure but in the end Australia's late batsmen were able to overcome that pressure. I used to understand that a great fielding catch and a great wicket-keeping meant in South Africa, but that South Africa is now fielding very badly. In the semi-final match against Australia, South Africa fielded quite poorly as they dropped several catches and conceded too many extra runs.

Australia chase was no less dramatic because they lost main 7 bastmen but they successfully chase down target. South Africa very slow start and dropped catches from de Kock and other players are responsible of South Africa loss in this match. Shamsi crucial dismissals, including the top batsmen Glenn Maxwell and Labuschagne. Mitchell Starc and Josh Inglis late contributions reason of Australia to a thrilling victory. Travis Head player of match took 2 wickets and 2/21 and scored 62 for 48 balls a decisive role for reaching his team to the World Cup final

After two days, the day will come when we have the final match between Australia vs India, and the same teams qualified for the final in the 2003 ODI World Cup, which was won by Australia so maybe this time again Australia will win and the fact is that if Australia win the final so they don’t upset because their recent trophy title which is 2021 T20 World Cup and 2015 World Cup so, I am trying to say that Australia has too many trophies so if they lose final they don’t being upset, they usually get the ICC trophies after every 2 or 3 and maximum after 5 or 6 years.

I don't know about you guys, but I felt bad seeing both South Africa and New Zealand losing their golden chance to win the World Cup yet again. I expected at least one of them to reach the final, but that clearly didn't happen.

It's truly tough being fans of both of these teams who haven't won a single World Cup so far, but NZ at the very least won the WTC once.

Forgot Kuldeep and Jadeja? These two were responsible for India's win when the last time they played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad (vs Pakistan). The pace trio of Mohammed Shami-Mohammed Siraj-Jasprit Bumrah is on fire, but let's not forget the fact that the Ahmedabad pitch is more favorable for the spinners. Now for Australia, they don't have a world class spinner. Zampa has been inconsistent so far, and apart from him they have some part-timers such as Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell.

I would say Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja will play the most important role if India wants to win the final match. Because Narendra Modi Stadium's pitch is spin friendly. Spinners have a chance to do well. And Kudeep and Jadeja are very talented. If these two bowlers perform well, it will not be an easy task to score high on this pitch against the Australian team. Every batsman in India is in very good rhythm. So I am not worried at all about India's batting. Now India will have to think of exploiting the full advantage of this bowling friendly pitch and putting the Australian batsmen under pressure. I believe we will see Indian dominance in the final match.

Today we don’t have any match so I decided to talk about the journey of England's team in this World Cup.  England's performance in this World Cup is very poor, they should improve it.

They lost their important matches and that’s why they could not make their place in the Semi-final. Even though they lost to Sri Lanka, The Sri Lanka team is good but ICC suspended Sri Lanka due to their performances and England lost to that team which is suspended due to its performances. They also lost their World Cup’s first match against New Zealand (whom they beat in 2019 to lift the World Cup). This England's journey does not have a happy ending.

On the other side South Africa missed catches, maybe those catches could also changed the match. Anyhow the fight between India and Australia is expected to be a better one than this match.

South Africa missed a few catches which could have cost them the match as South African bowlers were able to trouble the Australian batsman with testing deliveries and then they missed some half chances and with a really small total to defend they needed to take all the opportunities to put pressure back on Australia but they somehow was able to score the winning runs and yet another final.

in 2nd Semi-Final of icc Cricket World Cup at Eden Gardens, Australia secured a excellent victory by 3 wickets win over South Africa, qualifying to the Cricket World Cup final against India. South Africa Score: 212 all out 48th overs of match. Top Scorer of match is David Miller 101 runs and  Key Contributions of Klaasen 47 runs. But Despite David Miller excellent century, and klaasen contribution the South Africa total of only 212 proved challenging to defend against Australia.

Obviously, the Australian team has worked hard. The South African batsmen would have scored more runs if they worked hard, but they did not work hard and will lose. Both those batsmen were working hard.But luck was not with the South African team.Other batsman could not with David Miller and klaasen. Due to which they lost this match.Obviously Australia team is very big team this target was very easy. Which they could easily complete.

Just before the World Cup, three to four players of the Indian team were injured but they were suddenly included in the squad and the BCCI's decision had many questioning how the players would perform well in the World Cup after coming back from injuries. All the players who were injured and who were discussed for inclusion in the team are performing well in this World Cup tournament. Kl Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bhomra have been performing at their best for India in this World Cup tournament and giving a fitting reply to those who criticized the inclusion of these players in the World Cup squad. Don't want to make the mistake of betting on the final match. Whether Rohit Sharma wins or loses the toss, I will be with India.

This is wrong because every team works hard enough to reach the final from the semi-finals. How hard South Africa worked against Australia but unfortunately they couldn't match Australia. Every team wants to collect a good score but if the opposition is bowling well then it becomes very difficult for the batsmen to increase the runs. South African batsman Miller tried hard enough to put up a big score but the other batsmen were under pressure and could not get out and score too many runs. But the Australian players were also under good pressure every batsman worked hard but no one could score a century but eventually they got the win. Anyway both teams tried to play semi-final to final in World Cup but unfortunately Australia went to final but South Africa could go. Basically here we can say that South Africa didn't really have a World Cup final in front of them due to which they lost against Australia.

[God bless u]

We are waiting for biggest match of the year. Both team are very strong and could score high runs. I think Australia batting is also good like India but bowling is not so great. Starc doesn't picking so many wickets this year. India will be happy with all three bowlers performance. Travis head and warner gas not score for some matches. Will we see historical win for Australia or 11 match Unbeaten India?

Well.. let's see. This is an ideal opportunity to win an ICC trophy, and so far they have won all the 10 matches in this tournament so far. And this time, the captain is leading from the front by going Bazball style from the first ball onwards. Another thing that I have noticed is that Rohit is winning toss very often, unlike the case with panauti Kohli. Anyway, all that said you can't simply underestimate the Aussies. If anyone stands between the World Cup and Indian team, it is the Australians. But it will be a big disappointment for India if they lose the finals after reaching so far.

Also Australia has some good bowlers though we can expect quite good Yorkers from the side of Australia which includes Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and pat Cummins if these three bowled 25 of their overs good and at better pace then they can easily restrict India to 300 and that they want to achieve if they select bowl first. Also, we have seen some good bowling even from the side of Australia, but in the previous matches they mostly won their matches through their bowling as well.

Also if we talk about the Indian side, India has achieved all the successes in their all matches of this World Cup which also shows that they may be unbeatable in this World Cup and its a sign of winning for them as they have a better team as compared to Australia. Let's wait for the final, we all are spectators we just want to enjoy the match and wants to see good and long sixes.

They lost their important matches and that’s why they could not make their place in the Semi-final. Even though they lost to Sri Lanka, The Sri Lanka team is good but ICC suspended Sri Lanka due to their performances and England lost to that team which is suspended due to its performances. They also lost their World Cup’s first match against New Zealand (whom they beat in 2019 to lift the World Cup). This England's journey does not have a happy ending.

The England Team didn't went better from the start of their World Cup, I have not even noticed that there single player have been in form since this World Cup. I have only watched them  beaten by other Team. From this World Cup I have never seen the England before even I have not seen them in a Series against any Team. They lost to those Team who don't have form also.
May be they practice on their week points and we can see them very fast in other matches they have in the coming year.

Mitchell Marsh made an insane prediction stating that Australia will score 450-2 while India will fold for 65 runs when the reality is that the chances of the opposite happening are higher.

It's a clever way to irritate the Indian crowd for sure. He needs to focus on being more consistent rather than making these outlandish statements.

It seems illogical to me too.  But it is true that Australia is a strong team as India's opponent team but 452 runs for just two wickets is very odd to hear. Because we have seen with South Africa team they have to lose seven wickets to chase the target of only 213 runs. There Indian team is in great form in both their batting and bowling formats.  Although I think if South Africa had won the semi-final then India would have had more chances to win the final.  Because Australia as a team is stronger than the South African team with the Indian team. Still,  I feel that Mitchell Marsh's predictions are going to go in vain in the finals.
