Afghanistan vs Ireland third ODI match

The final and series-deciding match of the ODI series between Afghanistan and Ireland will be played at Sarjah Stadium tomorrow. In the first one-day match of this one-day series Afghanistan team beat Ireland cricket team to take a One-nill lead in the one-day series. The second ODI match between them was abandoned due to rain and neither team got a chance to toss in the second match. The third ODI match between Afghanistan and Ireland is going to be much more fighting and exciting. If Afghanistan win the third ODI match, they will be able to win the series and if Ireland win, the series will be tied. The third match is the most important for Afghanistan as they have a chance to win the series.

Today is a very important match for both Afghanistan and Ireland. Afghanistan will win the series if they win today. On the other hand, if Ireland lose, the series will be lost. Today both teams will try to win the match, hope today's match will be competitive. We saw in the first match that the top order batsmen did not do well in Ireland, if the top order batsmen did well then the match could have gone in favor of Ireland. To win this match today, Ireland will need to do well in both the batting and bowling lines. However today I will predict Afghanistan to win this match. Because Afghanistan's batsmen are back in form, Afghanistan's bowling line is also quite good. Let's see which team wins today.

Ireland lost to Afghanistan in the first match of the three-match ODI series. Today is the second match of the series where today's match is very important for both teams especially if Ireland wants to survive in the series there is no option to win this match today. In the last match we saw that Ireland's bowlers and batsmen did not perform well due to which Afghanistan managed to score 310 runs while Ireland managed to score only 275 runs. Economic bowling and responsible batting are needed to defeat Afghanistan in today's match. If they can bowl economically and bat responsibly, they can win today's match and if they win today's match we have to wait for the third match because then the third match will be the final match for both the teams.

Sorry, your information was incorrect. Today is the third match in Matcity ODI series. Afghanistan won the first ODI match by 35 runs. And the second match was abandoned. If Ireland win today's match, the series will be drawn, and if Ireland lose, they will lose the series 2-0.

In the test match, we saw an excellent performance from the Ireland players. Ireland also played well in the first ODI. However, the performance of Ireland's bowlers needs to be improved. A win against Afghanistan will not be impossible if the bowlers do not perform well. Afghanistan squad has a lot of talented batsmen. That's why if Ireland's bowlers don't do well, I think Ireland will lose.

In the third and final ODI match, Afghanistan defeated Ireland by a huge margin of 117 runs to seal the ODI series with one match in hand. Ireland's bowlers bowled well and managed to restrict Afghanistan to 250 runs but Ireland's batsmen did not bat responsibly at all. Poor batting prevented Ireland from chasing down this easy target. If Ireland had won they might have had a chance to win the series as they had no chance but now they only have one chance to rid themselves of the shame of a whitewash. That is, if Ireland wins the third ODI match, they will not be whitewashed against Afghanistan.

That is, if Ireland wins the third ODI match, they will not be whitewashed against Afghanistan.

I was very surprised to see the scoreboard of this match. Ireland got off to a great start. Still I never imagined the batsmen batting so stupidly.
Ireland team lost the wicket of opener Balbirne for just 4 runs. Still, Stirling and Campher put on a fine 73-run partnership. Ireland lost their second wicket by 77 runs. Stirling returned to the dressing room with 50 runs. However, no batsman can stay at the crease for long. They performed very badly. All 8 batsmen of the squad could not add even 5 runs on the scoreboard. It was unimaginable to lose by such a large margin after such an excellent start. Mohammad Nabi and Kharote bowled well. Nabi managed to pick up 5 wickets and Kharote 4 wickets.

[Sithara007]

Ireland batsmen were pathetic yesterday. The bowlers actually did a great job and restricted Afghanistan to a measly score of 236/9. Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy were exceptional. But in return, 9 out of the 11 Irish batsmen got out for single digits. Andy Balbirnie got out in the third over, and after a strong partnership between Paul Stirling and Curtis Campher, the middle and lower order collapsed like a peck of cards. The Irish batsmen had no answer to quality Afghan spin bowling, led by Mohammad Nabi and Nangeyalia Kharote. 

[Swordsoffreedom]

The first ODI match of the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka series is going to be played shortly. Bangladesh lost the T20 series 2-1. And in both the matches, Bangladesh lost because the top order batsmen performed like fools. The top order batsmen of Bangladesh performed very badly.

It is difficult to say which team will win the ODI match. Both teams have potential. On the other hand, the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very irregular. It is not possible to make any prediction about when Bangladeshi batsmen will perform well and when they will play badly. But I will say if the Bangladeshi top order batsmen play well, Bangladesh will win. It will be difficult to beat Sri Lanka if the top order does not play well. Sri Lankan players are in good form now. And Sri Lanka will want to win the ODI series as well as the T20 series.

The Afghanistan team performed very well in the two ODI matches, although the Ireland team lost the first ODI match by a narrow margin. But in this third ODI match, a huge margin was created as Ireland lost by 117 runs. Curtis Chaphun and Stirling performed well but all the other batsmen got out with very few runs. And the performance of all the batsmen is very bad, no batsman could give a good batting performance. Mohammad Nabi and Nangayl Kharoti have been the best bowling performance of the Afghanistan team and they have taken a total of 9 wickets. So Afghanistan team performed best in terms of bowling and batting due to which they secured victory very easily.

[JSRAW]

Cheers to couple of posters to give update on Rashid.

Anyway, just forget the  unnecessary series like the Ashes, BGT or overhyped India vs Pakistan rivalry because it's time for big dogs and fierce rivals to face each others. Stop everything as Its nagin dance and timeout session ladies.

Yes you are right Afghanistan played really well in the ODI series against Ireland. They were looking strong in both batting and bowling and they won the third match with big Margin means 117 runs. Mohammad Nabi and Nangayl Kharoti did great job in bowling they tried really to stop Ireland batters and getting wickets. Ireland Curtis Chaphun and Stirling tried hard but their team batting was not as good. Afghanistan did better overall. And congratulations we have made 1000 pages of this thread.

The first ODI match of the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka series is going to be played shortly. Bangladesh lost the T20 series 2-1. And in both the matches, Bangladesh lost because the top order batsmen performed like fools. The top order batsmen of Bangladesh performed very badly.

It is difficult to say which team will win the ODI match. Both teams have potential. On the other hand, the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very irregular. It is not possible to make any prediction about when Bangladeshi batsmen will perform well and when they will play badly. But I will say if the Bangladeshi top order batsmen play well, Bangladesh will win. It will be difficult to beat Sri Lanka if the top order does not play well. Sri Lankan players are in good form now. And Sri Lanka will want to win the ODI series as well as the T20 series.

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat. The batting average of 223 runs in the first innings on this pitch of Chittagong. So winning the toss and taking the decision to bat seems to me to be the right decision.

Sri Lanka have performed well in the T20 format. Although the series is held in Bangladesh, the Bangladesh team cannot take any home advantage. The team lost the T20 series because of bad batting. However, it is difficult to say how the Bangladeshi players will perform on the pitch of Chittagong. Today's squad consists of Mushfiqur, Mahmudullah and Miraz. Three experienced enough players. However, if the top order batsmen Liton, Shanto and Soumyo do not play well, the chances of Bangladesh winning are low.

Only 8 minutes left for the first ODI match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. We want Bangladesh to forget their T20 series failure and bounce back well in the ODI series and give their best performance to win the ODI series. The Bangladesh team is much more consistent and a bit stronger in the ODI format compared to the Test and T20 formats. Looking at the squad of the Bangladesh team today, it seems that they will take the field with a strong batting lineup in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. Today in the Bangladesh team there are 7 famous batsmen who are very experienced, maybe they will squeeze their batting experience in today's match.

However, the Bangladesh team is feeling the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, one of the best all-rounders in the world, and Tamim Iqbal, the best batsman of Bangladesh.Maybe Shakib Al Hasan will join Bangladesh team squad very soon then Bangladesh team will be much stronger.

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first in the first ODI match against Bangladesh. Sri Lanka current score is 74 runs in a loss of 2 wickets in the 12th over of the match. Tanzim Shakib bowing outstanding picked the 2 important wickets by just giving only 14 runs. Sri Lanka needs a good partnership to score a big total for Bangladesh. But Bangladesh needs to restrict Sri Linka to Under 250 runs to win this match. If Sri Lanka scored a target of 300 or plus then it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to chase down the target.

The first ODI match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka has started. The Sri Lankan team has won the first toss and decided to bat. Sri Lankan openers Avishka Fernando and Pathum Nissanka got off to a great start with Avishka Fernando scoring 33 runs off 33 balls and Pathum Nissanka getting out with 36 runs off 28 balls. The current score of the Sri Lankan team is 84 runs for three wickets in 13 overs. Bangladesh bowlers should put pressure on the Sri Lankan batsmen so that Bangladesh can restrict Sri Lanka to 250 runs. If Bangladesh can restrict Sri Lanka to 250 runs and Bangladesh batsmen can bat responsibly then maybe Bangladesh can start with a win in the first ODI.

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat. In the beginning, the way Sri Lanka started to bat, they managed to collect up to fifty runs in T20 style. But Bangladeshi bowler Tanzim Hasan Shakib has been bowling hard today and has succeeded in dismissing three batsmen from Sri Lanka's top order. If Tanjim Hasan Shakib could not have dismissed all three batsmen in this attack, then Sri Lanka's collection would have exceeded 150 plus at the moment. If they can keep Lanka within 250 runs today, maybe Bangladesh can do something good in today's match. But if the target is above 300 runs, it will be very tough for Bangladesh to win today's match.

After having bat first Sri Lanka started aggressively and their openers hits all around the ground with having 68 runs from 9 overs is good start for them but in 10th and 12th over we have good comeback by Bangladesh with Tanzim Hasan Sakib took two quick wickets both openers gone back to pavilion now we will have good chance for the Bangladesh to control the things around and try to restricted Sri Lankan batsmen from playing freely.

Now as I am writing this we have third wicket down of Sri Lanka medium pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib took third wicket in his fourth over which is good bowling and now good chance for the Bangladesh good contest between ball and bat going on hopefully we will have interesting end of this match after Sri Lanka clinch the T20i series.

[FinePoine0]

Tanjid Hasan Shakib has been the best bowling performance today, he has collected three wickets in consecutive starts which three wickets is the strongest batsman in Sri Lanka team. Therefore, losing these three wickets, the Sri Lankan team is currently facing a lot of pressure. So if in this way Sri Lanka can keep the team under the pressure of the wicket, then definitely the Bangladesh team can ensure victory in this match. Because Bangladesh team's bowling performance is very good today, so far Sri Lanka team has collected 95 runs for three wickets in 18 overs.

Sri Lanka's two opening batsmen batting has really been a bit like T20 style. Both of Sri Lanka's opening batsmen should have batted patiently, Pathum Nissanka was dismissed for 36 off 28 balls and Avishka Fernando was dismissed for 33 off 33 balls. Sri Lanka got off to a good start but are under pressure at the moment with the loss of three wickets. Sri Lanka have so far collected 103 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 20 overs. Yes Bangladesh bowlers should bowl more responsibly. You are right, Sri Lanka have to be stopped before 250 runs, if Sri Lanka can target 300 plus then it will be difficult for Bangladesh to win the match. But let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can give the target in the end.

[JSRAW]

Things were looking quite good for the Lankans but out of nowhere Tanzim manufactured a mini collapse and brought his team back into the contest.  

Tbh, I was expecting some dramatic celebration due to the ongoing tussle between both teams. Both teams will throw punches, but I hope they provide some meme content for shitposters as well.

The Bangladesh team had a good bowling performance in the beginning but after the fall of three wickets, no more wickets were likely to fall. Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Soumya Sarkar in particular gave a good bowling performance, they gave only few runs but did not look likely to get any wickets. Patience batsmen Kushal Mendis and Asalanka have formed a very strong partnership.  If these two batsmen Bangladesh players can get out then surely Sri Lanka team will not be able to give Bangladesh team a big run target. If the Bangladesh team wants to win, they must get out two reliable batsmen, Kushal Mendis and Asalanka.

[synchronym]

Tanjid Hasan Shakib has been the best bowling performance today, he has collected three wickets in consecutive starts which three wickets is the strongest batsman in Sri Lanka team. Therefore, losing these three wickets, the Sri Lankan team is currently facing a lot of pressure. So if in this way Sri Lanka can keep the team under the pressure of the wicket, then definitely the Bangladesh team can ensure victory in this match. Because Bangladesh team's bowling performance is very good today, so far Sri Lanka team has collected 95 runs for three wickets in 18 overs.

Tanzim Shakib bowling very well against Sri Lanka TanzimShakib took three wickets for 24 runs in 6 overs. Sri Lankan batsman Kusal Mendis is batting brilliantly. Bangladesh bowlers should take Kusal Mendis wicket very quickly so that Srilankan team is under a lot of pressure. Kusal Mendis can be dangerous for Bangladesh if Kusal Mendis plays well so Kusal Mendis should be dismissed very quickly. The Sri Lankan team is very confident after winning the ladder by 2-1 and they will try their best to win today's match. Meanwhile, Bangladesh will definitely want to start the first ODI match with a win after the T20 series loss. Now let's see how much Bangladesh bowlers can limit Sri Lanka to few runs.

Yeah tanzim sakib did a great performance today even then still he has to play more because it still some of our yet to play. But hats off to this yong star. Anyway Sri Lanka looks they are out of pressure as they have taken 215 after 38 overs and they have five more wickets left. The way they are going with the run rate now, I think Sri Lanka will be able to take over 270 today.  But if they go above 280 I think Bangladesh will face little difficulty to win. But since the match is being held in Bangladesh and it is in Chittagong and the winning percentage of Bangladesh in this Chittagong stadium is above 60 so I think Bangladesh has more chances to win this match.

The Afghanistan team performed very well in the two ODI matches, although the Ireland team lost the first ODI match by a narrow margin. But in this third ODI match, a huge margin was created as Ireland lost by 117 runs. Curtis Chaphun and Stirling performed well but all the other batsmen got out with very few runs. And the performance of all the batsmen is very bad, no batsman could give a good batting performance. Mohammad Nabi and Nangayl Kharoti have been the best bowling performance of the Afghanistan team and they have taken a total of 9 wickets. So Afghanistan team performed best in terms of bowling and batting due to which they secured victory very easily.

Yes you are right Afghanistan played really well in the ODI series against Ireland. They were looking strong in both batting and bowling and they won the third match with big Margin means 117 runs. Mohammad Nabi and Nangayl Kharoti did great job in bowling they tried really to stop Ireland batters and getting wickets. Ireland Curtis Chaphun and Stirling tried hard but their team batting was not as good. Afghanistan did better overall. And congratulations we have made 1000 pages of this thread.

The Irish batters were going very well and started gaining momentum when Paul Stirling got out. When Chaphun and Stirling were batting, I thought Ireland was in a good position to chase down this total, as their bowlers had done their job nicely. Muhammad Nabi and Nangeyalia Kharote destroyed their batting lineup. Disappointed to see such a performance from Ireland's batters, they should have done better. Kudos to the AFG spinners, they bowled in the right line and length and were almost unplayable in those middle overs.
Looking forward to the T20I series between the two teams. Hopefully, they will perform well in the T20I series.

Tanjid Hasan Shakib has been the best bowling performance today, he has collected three wickets in consecutive starts which three wickets is the strongest batsman in Sri Lanka team.

Bangladesh bowlers have done well thus far. They made scoring difficult. Tanzim is bowling beautifully and took 3 wickets in his 8 overs. Sri Lanka will be looking at a target of over 300 from here. Sri Lanka batters got the start but were unable to convert it into a big score. Wanindu Hasaranga's cameo will help SL to achieve this total. Bangladesh bowlers need to get rid of Hasaranga as soon as possible because everyone knows his scoring ability in a limited time. A couple of wickets here will restrict SL under 300. At the moment, Sri Lanka is 220/5 in 40 overs.
