I said they were a bit lucky because of the slow over rate they had to bring the fielder up in the circle as they were penalized, and Macmillian utilized that opportunity to hit the winning 4 to the boundary.

MacMilllan didn't utilize anything, it was pure luck, ball took an edge and went for a boundary, it was not intentional shot that you could say he utilized the field.

When fine leg was brought up in the circle, commentator said, is it a good thing in this situation? Because with tailenders, fours usually go through fine leg or third man, yes they were penalized and were forced to bring one player inside but I'd say it was amateurish decision from Pakistan's side that they brought fine leg inside the circle.

You can say that too, it is just another way to put forward his intent to win.

I disagree and I repeat, It was accidental edge that's why it went for four at fine leg, how can you say he utilized the opportunity of Pakistan having no fielder at fine leg when MacMilllan had no intention to play there in first place? Without the edge, it was likely a dot ball or at most a single if it didn't went directly to fielder, certainly wouldn't have went for four as it appeared to be a soft handed hit.

Sri Lanka team and Afghanistan team match match today I am betting in favor of Sri Lanka team. I am worried about which team will win today's match. Sri Lanka team is batting now. 152 runs in 23.4 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka scored 41 runs in 61 balls.  .Avishka Fernando scored 73 runs off 67 balls.Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando two batsmen started batting well.

Yesterday we witnessed an incredible match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.It can be said without a doubt that yesterday's match was a battle between tigers and lions.Sri Lanka batting first, their team batsmen have done an outstanding performance especially their opening pair has batted very well. Pathum Nishanka played his career best innings yesterday with a brilliant innings of 210.Similarly, his other teammate Avishka Fernando also batted exceptionally well, he got out by scoring 88 runs. Afghanistan were unable to get off to a good batting start under pressure as Sri Lanka scored too many runs which resulted in their first wicket falling in the fifth over.But one thing must be said is that Afghanistan's sixth wicket was very good with Mohammad Nabi scoring a century and Azmatullah scoring a century.

Canada seems to be suffering from yet another batting collapse in the second ODI against Nepal. They were 94/0, and then 179/2 in 31 overs. Now they are at 227/7. Instead of 300-320 that was projected a few overs back, they will end up with a sub-par total of 240-250 at the most. And impressed with Nepal so far. I thought that the entire team would collapse due to the absence of Sandeep Lamichhane. But young bowlers such as Kushal Malla, Surya Tamang and Rohit Paudel have taken over the burden. Lalit Rajbanshi is also absent for this match, and he was one of the most experienced bowlers for Nepal.

[ThemePen]

The final match of the ODI series between South Africa and Australia has started. Today's match is expected to be a very exciting one. Because in the previous two matches, both teams have won one match each. Today's match is equal for both teams. The team that can perform well in this match will win the series today. In today's match Australia team won the toss and started batting first. Opening the batting, Australia's two openers are trying to settle into the batting and have collected 16 runs so far in 4.5 overs. I bet for South Africa in today's match. Hope I can win today's match bet. Now let's see what happens in the last stage

The match between South Africa Women and Australia Women team already started and at this time Australia is playing its turn and playing well the have made 272 runs in 49 overs and they are playing the last over. They lost 8 wickets. I hope they will make 280+ runs. And this target will be a goor target. And this is the final match so this match is important. Which team will win they also win the series too. So let's see which team will win.

Lalit Rajbanshi is also absent for this match, and he was one of the most experienced bowlers for Nepal.

Canada played really well. They have played their inning at this time. They have made 285 runs in 50 overs. They lost 9 wickets. Nepal team is little bit strong as compare to Canada team. Nepal team already won the first match. In the last match Nepal made only 224 runs. So this is is really hard to predict that which team will win the match. If we see the stats of the last match so this is showing that today match target is good.
While typing Nepal has started their inning and have made 12 runs in 1.3 overs.

[Haunebu]

Maybe we shouldn't blame the bowlers today, 720 runs have been scored today by the two teams in 100 overs. There was a collapse in the batting lineup of Afghanistan at the start, but they had made a great comeback. From 55/5 to 339/6 is an epic innings when a team is trying to chase the big target. It wasn't enough for the victory though.

I guess I was being a bit too hard on their bowlers considering the fact that this was a batting track as you mentioned. Nissanka, Nabi and Omarzai stood out among all players in this particular match.

I knew Afghanistan wouldn't be able to chase down such a big target, but it was a valiant effort as I mentioned in my previous post. Great match overall!

While typing Nepal has started their inning and have made 12 runs in 1.3 overs.

This time Canadian team batting first against Nepal. Canada's team made 285 while they lost 9 wickets and they made it all in 50 overs. In this inning, Aaron Johnson made too high runs from his team and these runs helped for Canada to reach the target, he made 65 runs, and he also used balls 62 but he also didn't waste balls like Navneet Dhaliwal.

The other team didn't waste the ball but they weren't able to make runs and after doing a lot of struggling they were able to make 285 runs. Let's see if can Nepal complete this target or not, and I think that today is not a day for Nepal because in the previous match when Nepal gave the target so on that time, they couldn't cross 250.

[noormcs5]

Sri Lanka has set a huge target. It is very difficult for any big team to win this target. I have yet to see a match where a team has scored more than 382 runs in the second innings. However, even then Afghanistan players batted very well. Had Afghanistan's top order played well, they might have won. Afghanistan team lost wickets very quickly.
Afghanistan lost 5 of their batsmen to collect only 55 runs. I thought Afghanistan would probably lose by more than 200 in today's match. But due to the responsible batting of Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi, Afghanistan managed to collect 339 runs after 50 overs. Afghanistan was defeated by just 42 runs. Omarzai remained unbeaten with 149 runs.

Unbelievable!
The Sri Lankan team won yesterday's match with Miracle. Pathum Nissanka made 200 in the ODI, and he made it in just 139 balls. He is a new Gleen Maxwell, Maxwell made 201 in 129 balls while he made 210 on 139 balls, and it is also like a Maxwell, by the way, he can make more runs because he was not out but the inning was finished, maybe we will see 250 by him in yesterday's match. If it was a test match so we would see his 250 maybe but 210 is also very good, and not only in batting, he played excellently in bowling.

The pitch was batting friendly that's why we saw 339 runs also being made by the Afghanistan team and we see total of 700+ runs in this ODI which is something extraordinary. We should also appreciate Azmatullah Omarzai who made 149 runs and Mohammad Nabi who made 136 runs. Some awesome batting performances by the both teams.

Hope I can win today's match bet. Now let's see what happens in the last stage

Bro, the match is between South Africa and Australia women team. It would be easier for everyone to understand if it is mentioned.

Australia women's batsmen batted very well today. They managed to set a target of 278 runs. And that's a big enough target. We haven't seen such a big score in the last two matches in this series. In the first match, South Africa women's team mustered only 105 runs. And so the possibility that South Africa will win today's match by collecting 278 runs is very low.
The match is now being delayed due to rain. After 14 overs, South Africa managed to collect only 63 runs and they lost 4 wickets. South Africa will not win. However, the match is likely to be abandoned.

I think more than Srilanka we should praise the Afghanistan team as they tried to chase the big target. They lost by a small margin and that means Srilanka would face some fierce competition in the next game. Nissanka became the only batter from Srilanka who became the first to score 200 runs in ODI. It was only because of his double century that Srilanka had put on 350 plus runs on the scoreboard. The rest is now history and many records were made because of this game.

South Africa women's team was defeated by a big margin of 110 runs. The match was delayed due to rain. South Africa needed 238 runs to win in 31 overs in DLS method. But the South African batsmen batted very badly. In 24.3 overs, South Africa women's team mustered only 127 runs. Tazmin Brits scored 31 runs and Luss scored 34 runs. Also, no other batsman batted well.
Kim Grath and McGrath picked up 3 wickets. And Alana King took 4 wickets. Kim Grath conceded just 14 runs in 5.3 overs. Australian bowlers bowled very controlled way.

You can say that too, it is just another way to put forward his intent to win. Pakistan team was good with thier bowling attack, throughout the tournament they dominated. The problem with Pakistan was that they were dependent in the batting performance of thier openers. That back fired them big time as they waisted so many balls. If they had a 200 runs on the scoreboard they would have won yesterday and we would have been waiting for Sunday to watch the finals.

Inside edges are considered risky affairs because such edges come when batters have no idea about the delivery, there is no such thing as a good inside edge shot.

Sometimes it crashes onto the timber and when the batter is lucky it goes to boundaries and the latter happened in the Semis so in that case libert is not wrong. It was just pure bad luck or blame Pak's slow over rate which resulted in an extra fielder inside the 30-yard circle.

Tomorrow's match will undoubtedly be a memorable match for Afghanistan if they won the match tomorrow. A mammoth 242 for the sixth wicket pair reduced Afghanistan's margin of defeat after Afghanistan fell 5 for 55 in yesterday's match. If Pathum Nissanka had not played the innings of 210 runs in yesterday's match, it was doubtful whether Sri Lanka would have collected 300 runs. But Afghanistan's collection was undoubtedly worthy of praise, and especially Afghanistan's 339 at the crunch time.

This is a great achievement for the Australia women team. That they have won the match by a huge margin and also won the ODI series.  Their bowler has worked and struggled the most.  And with his hard work and struggle he stopped the runs and got the wickets and won the match and won the victory.The South African bowler also toiled and struggled and ended up with 9 wickets and a target of 277.  But they could not fulfill and will lose the match.And lost the series.My congratulations to Australia for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.South Africa needs more hard work and struggle.  Improve your team performance.

I am a little disappointed to be honest. This was the decided of the series and South African women should have done better in this match. Now I understand that Australian women had given a big total for South Africa and Australia women had played really well in the first innings. But South African women were literally unable to do anything in the second half of the match. They could do better in my opinion.  They were unable to form any kind of serious partnership, and that's why they have failed so terribly.

[noormcs5]

Canada seems to be suffering from yet another batting collapse in the second ODI against Nepal. They were 94/0, and then 179/2 in 31 overs. Now they are at 227/7. Instead of 300-320 that was projected a few overs back, they will end up with a sub-par total of 240-250 at the most. And impressed with Nepal so far. I thought that the entire team would collapse due to the absence of Sandeep Lamichhane. But young bowlers such as Kushal Malla, Surya Tamang and Rohit Paudel have taken over the burden. Lalit Rajbanshi is also absent for this match, and he was one of the most experienced bowlers for Nepal.

Again Nepal won the match by Canada. The team of Canada plays no matter how much good but at the end of the day, the Nepal team won this match, and by the way, these matches are also played in Nepal, but in these matches, no one wants to come even their own country didn't want to become audience. Nepal had an interest in some Football and volleyball while Canada is famous for Soccer, Ice Hockey, and basketball but not in cricket. Anyway, let's back to the topic, Although Canada lost the match again while they played, their luck was not with them.

Canada scored 285 runs and they must have fancy their chances by Nepal batting was way to good. They chased the target in 45/1 overs thus making it a one sided chase in the end. Anyways, Canada should be feeling proud of their batting and hope to do well in bowling too in the next matches.

I disagree and I repeat, It was accidental edge that's why it went for four at fine leg, how can you say he utilized the opportunity of Pakistan having no fielder at fine leg when MacMilllan had no intention to play there in first place? Without the edge, it was likely a dot ball or at most a single if it didn't went directly to fielder, certainly wouldn't have went for four as it appeared to be a soft handed hit.

You can watch highlights on Hotstar to fact check.

On that day, Pakistan U19 team was unlucky because despite hundred attempts, the last wicket failed to fall. The ball that went EDGE to fine leg for four could have hit the wicket directly, which happened to Bangladesh in the previous match. Moreover, on the day of the second semi-final, nine wickets fell at regular intervals from one to nine of the Australia U19 team, but the last wicket ensured the final for Australia. There is nothing to say, but I will give importance to the fortunes of the Australia U19 team and the misfortunes of the Pakistan team.

[Unknown Op]

South Africa women's team was defeated by a big margin of 110 runs. The match was delayed due to rain. South Africa needed 238 runs to win in 31 overs in DLS method. But the South African batsmen batted very badly. In 24.3 overs, South Africa women's team mustered only 127 runs. Tazmin Brits scored 31 runs and Luss scored 34 runs. Also, no other batsman batted well.
Kim Grath and McGrath picked up 3 wickets. And Alana King took 4 wickets. Kim Grath conceded just 14 runs in 5.3 overs. Australian bowlers bowled very controlled way.

At last this match was finished now and today was the final match of this competition in between Australia women squad against South Africa women sqaud. Both these squads already fought two match previously in this competition and both emerged victory in each match and tied this competition but today match, Australia women squad emerged victory and defeated South Africa women squad very badly with huge difference of scores. Total Australia women squad collected 277 scores after playing 50 overs with lost of 9 batter wickets which seem that this defeating target was very challenging and big one. But Australian Women bowler performance was much reliable and they fastly picked wickets of South Africa women squad batter like Laura Wolvaardt was wiped out at 3 scores, Anneke Bosch collected only 4 scores, Masabata Klaas, Sinalo Jafta and Marizanne Kapp these batter was out at 0 score, Ayanda Hlubi batter was cleared out from crease at 4 scores. Every single batter from South Africa women squad side displayed worst performance and just defeat 127 scores and finished this match.

On that day, Pakistan U19 team was unlucky because despite hundred attempts, the last wicket failed to fall. The ball that went EDGE to fine leg for four could have hit the wicket directly, which happened to Bangladesh in the previous match. Moreover, on the day of the second semi-final, nine wickets fell at regular intervals from one to nine of the Australia U19 team, but the last wicket ensured the final for Australia. There is nothing to say, but I will give importance to the fortunes of the Australia U19 team and the misfortunes of the Pakistan team.

That is not history, Pakistan Under 19 didn't play all that well in the Semi finals and therefore they were out of it. On the other hand, the Australia Under 19 team performed brilliantly and they deserved to be in the finals. The way the Australian team bowled and restricted Pakistan batsmen was remarkable. No other thoughts from my side on this.

Tomorrow is the match of India vs Australia, and if you know about the World Cup 2023 final match so you remember that At first, Australia's condition was not good, and even a time we thought that Australia would be out of the World Cup but they won World Cup, and at this time again in the early Australia performance was not good if you remember so you know that in the first match of Australia against Namibia was almost lost and by chance, they made 92 runs and win against Namibia with struggle and India also won their all matches on World Cup, and in this Under 19 World Cup so let's see will history repeat.

[MusaPk]

That is not history, Pakistan Under 19 didn't play all that well in the Semi finals and therefore they were out of it. On the other hand, the Australia Under 19 team performed brilliantly and they deserved to be in the finals. The way the Australian team bowled and restricted Pakistan batsmen was remarkable. No other thoughts from my side on this.

The reason Pakistan-U19 lost the game is there batting, they bowled brilliantly and that's why game was decided in very last over of the game. Aussies lost 9 wickets while chasing the small target, that tells us how good Pakistani bowling was in yesterday game. Pakistan team was 20 to 30 runs of short of wht could be a winning target in semi final. Pakistan-U19 lost 5 wickets for just 79 runs in 28 overs, not a responsible batting in such a crucial game.
