ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

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.

The match swung wildly at different stages. Australia were initially ahead in the chase until 15-year old pacer Ali Raza removed Tom Straker and Mahli Beardman in the same over. They were 164/7 and then ended at 164/9. At this point, they needed another 16 runs to win, with Raf MacMillan and no.11 batsman Callum Vidler at crease. Vidler did a great job by saving his wicket, and MacMillan took over the scoring. Anyway, bad luck for Pakistan. Always happen to them during the knockout stages of major ICC tournaments.

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.

The performance of South Africa women's batsmen in this series was not good. They only collected 105 runs in the first match. Good batting by Marizanne Kapp and Bosch in the second match enabled the team to set a target of 230 runs. Kapp's excellent bowling helped the South Africa women's team win the match. Australia lost all wickets to collect only 149 runs.

In the last match we again saw the poor performance of the South African team. Kapp and Klaas bowled somewhat well as Australia set a big target of 278 runs. The South African team does not have the ability to win by batting against such a big target. Because the performance of their batsmen is very erratic and weak. Even so, if Kapp could have batted well, the match might have been competitive. But Kapp could not collect any runs in this match.

Ubaid Shah was good with bowl through out this tournament but in semi final it was Ali Raza who dominated with the bowl by picking 4 wickets. Clearly there is nothing to discuss in Pakistan batting, Awais and Minhas are the lonely warrior in entire the batting lineup. Pakistan clearly had a chance when they picked up wicket of Mahli Beardman but Raf MacMillan scored precious 19 runs that took Aussies U19 to final.

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.

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.

The Canada batsmen put up a target of 285 after working hard and struggle. Which is a huge target.  But the Nepal batsmen worked hard and struggled more than them and achieved the victory.Yes indeed Nepal bowlers have not worked as hard and struggle as their batsmen have.  I think the Canada team must be thinking that 285 is a big target.  But their batsmen fulfilled their given target.My congratulations to the Nepalese team for their win and may they continue to play like this and keep winning matches.

The semi final match was enjoyable between Australia U19 and Pakistan U19. The match was so unpredictable cause Australia U19 didn't have any single wickets in hand but they had to scored decent runs for win. And finally they won by 1 wickets only and i think they deserver it cause Australian bowlers gave so much effort while they had to runs as batsman. Well India U19 vs Australia U19 final Matche is going to start tomorrow at 8:00 AM GMT in Willowmoore Park, Benoni, South Africa. Can't guess what will happen. Just waiting for start

Nepal cricket is improving day by day, they have now also won three ODI series with one game still to be played. 285 was a good target but the experienced Nepali team don't find it hard to chase that big total. Nepali team chase the target with 29 balls still remaining. There is a match winning 150 runs partnership between the skipper Rohit Paudel and Dev Khannal. Canadian team need to improve there bowling in next match to avoid a 3-0 defeat.

2 nd game of this series was also won by Nepal team and 1 st game was also won Nepal team and this series total contain 3 game and Nepal team lead with 2 games from Canada team. In both games, Nepal Team chased down target of Canada team and today Canada team set 285 runs target and this was a good target but Canadian team bowling effort was weak and they did not stop Nepal team for chasing their target. Nepal team chased down this target by 4 wickets and 29 balls remaining. R.Paudel helped a lot of Nepal team for chasing target and he scored 87 runs in 101 balls and he hitted eight 4s and four 6s. D.Khanal also played well and scored 76 runs. Let's see next game of this series who will get win.

The performance of the Australia U19 team in the last semi-final made it very unlikely that the Australia U19 team would win the final. If you can bat well and control your bowling, India has a chance to win the final. India's bowling attack can bowl much harder and controlled balls than Australia's bowling attack. But in terms of batting, if they decide to bat before the toss, then Australia U19 must be all out before 200 runs or if they bat later, Australia must be given a target of over 250 runs. But today's match will be a revenge for India, can actually take revenge for the World Cup?

I think it's not fair to say that the Australia U19 team is bad just because they didn't do well in the last semifinal. They might have had a hard time in that game but it doesn't mean they can't do well in the final. By the way we can't say anything thing at this time.

They will play the final match today and their performance will show everything. And Regarding the revenge so that can be happened. India U19 can take revenge of the main World Cup in today's match but not sure. Australia U19 can also win this match.

They are a very young team. Most of the players are in their early 20s. The captain Rohit Paudel is just 21 years old. Kushal Malla and Gulshan Jha are still in their teens. From here onwards, they can only get better. And most importantly, their team is 100% native, unlike the case with Canada which doesn't have a single non-immigrant origin player (in the past they had a few, such as John Davison and Ian Bilcliff). Nepal has won the first two ODI matches in this series. The third and final match will be played tomorrow at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground.

India U-19. vs  AUstralia U-19

The Indian team is going  to face the  Australian team today  in the final of the Under-19 World Cup. We  know that the Australian  national team is very lucky for  the semi-final and final matches. I am looking forward to see how the Australia U19 team will play.

It was not easy for Australia to  win against Pakistan U19 in the semi-final. Their  batsmen are not playing well. But the first semi-final match between India vs South  Africa was also very  competitive. Both India and  Australia are very strong  teams. So it is impossible to predict with  certainty which  team will win. Both teams have chances to win. I am  my favorite team Australia.

After watching the semifinal match between Australia and Pakistan one thing is clear that Australia has a weak batting line. They are not good against spin bowling and good pace attack. Both teams have not lost any of their games in the tournament. But, India has a good batting depth and has a quality spin attack. India is the favourite to win the finals as they were in the ODI World Cup, whereas they choked and lost the World Cup. The team Indian team is high in confidence after the semifinal win and the players are in good form.  I don't want the U19 team to go through the same problem and I hope they win again today.

That's right, both teams are very strong and competitive teams. In my opinion, if Australia U19 can win the toss and choose to bowl first after winning the toss, then Australia U19 can create a chance to win this final match. Because Australia U19 team has much stronger and skilled bowlers than India U19 team. Australia u19 team bowlers Tom Straker, charle anderson, callum vidler can stop India u19 team players very easily with their tactics. I am betting on Australia U19 team in this final match today. Hope Australia U19 team win against India U19 team in the final match of ICC U19 World Cup today and get recognized as the champion team.

It's always difficult to predict the out come of finals. Aussies were very lucky to win the tight contest in semi finals. Today's final will also be a tough contest as both teams are best of the tournaments. Aussies U19 have won the toss and they have decided to bat first. To be in safe zone Aussies must score 250, anything less then 200 will make India favorite for this contest.

The Nepal team won the match and everyone thought that they won that match due to their batting but this is not like this, in this victory, the bowlers had also a very good character.

Yes, but at the same time, they picked a lot of runs but they also picked wickets. If you say their bowling is extremely good, you are lying and if you say that their bowling was so poor, you also lie. Their bowling was good but not extremely. However, let's come to the bowlers who picked wickets. Kushal Malla picked 2 wickets, it is good and you like their bowling overview but when you check that he picked bowlers' wickets so you understand that he is good but bowlers' wickets everyone can be picked. Rohit Paudel is the man of the match and he picked up two early wickets.

So it is impossible to predict with  certainty which  team will win. Both teams have chances to win. I am  my favorite team Australia.

This will be an interesting final as both teams are in full confidence at the moment. The way the Australian team snatched the win from the Pakistan team, it must have boosted their confidence a lot. On the other hand, the Indian team is also unbeaten in this tournament so you can understand the level of confidence they will be having on the ground today.

The Indian team took the wicket of Sam Konstas by Limbani, but after that wicket, the Australian team made a partnership and according to the current situation, India can win this match but firstly, the Australian team calms down and then they will start to hit. This wicket hit early and now the batsmen should start to hit because if they think that 30 overs left we will do so it will not because they should have a mind set to power hitting. We will see the revenge that the Indian small team took Australia off the World Cup but the original World Cup has more importance than this Under 19 World Cup. Let's see what happens, this Sunday will go intense.

[noormcs5]

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.

Rohit Paudel is the man of the match but I don't think so that he deserves this because I know he picked 2 wickets and gave less score than the other bowlers but if you see that he only did 8 overs while the other bowlers did 10 overs and of course when you did 2 overs more so on these 12 balls batsmen should make runs.

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.

Kushal Malla also picked 2 wickets but he did 2 overs more and if you say that before 2 overs he also crossed 32 runs so it's right but there is not only bowlers, they can also give this award to any batsmen for example Anil Sah played like T20, and Dev Khanal who scored 76 runs in only 81 balls. Yes i am not forgetting the Nepal captain, Rohit Paudel who made highest score in this match, that is 87 runs in 101 balls.

[elevates]

Australia-U19 won the toss and chose to bat, they had a good start until Tiwari took 2 wickets. The runs have dried, and both batters are now trying to assess the pitch. The run rate has now gone down with 120 runs on the scoreboard, 3 wickets gone and 28th over is being bowled. India was not looking good in the early stage of cricket and now the new batters have started attacking the bowlers. India-U19 needs another wicket to stop this batting pair from increasing the run rate.

[Haunebu]

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan second ODI is underway and the Lankans have already lost 2 wickets quite early putting them in the dangerzone giving the Afghans an upper hand in this particular contest.

I hope Afghanistan wins this one especially after their epic fightback in the first match so that the series becomes a lot more entertaining.

India U-19. vs  AUstralia U-19

The Indian team is going  to face the  Australian team today  in the final of the Under-19 World Cup. We  know that the Australian  national team is very lucky for  the semi-final and final matches. I am looking forward to see how the Australia U19 team will play.

It was not easy for Australia to  win against Pakistan U19 in the semi-final. Their  batsmen are not playing well. But the first semi-final match between India vs South  Africa was also very  competitive. Both India and  Australia are very strong  teams. So it is impossible to predict with  certainty which  team will win. Both teams have chances to win. I am  my favorite team Australia.

AUS Under 19 won the toss in final match and chose to bat first. Their current score is 141/3 in just 31 over of the match they are very strong positions in this match if they set a target of 300 runs then they have high chances to win this final of under 19 world cup. Indian under 19 team N. Tiwari took 2 wickets from 38 runs in first spell of his bowling. AUS under 19 batting is very well H. Singh: 33 runs unbeaten and R. Hicks played at 18 runs not out.
