ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Group phase matches have been completed in Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup 2024/25, and four teams have qualified for the knockout phase - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan is the only full member who missed out on qualification. In the first semi-final, Bangladesh Under-19s will play against Pakistan Under-19s, while in the second match India Under-19s will take on Sri Lanka Under-19s. Given the performance of all these four teams so far, I would say that Pakistan will be the strong favorites.

In today's 11th match of Pakistan U19 vs Japan U19 team, Pakistan U19 team came out to bat and set a target of 243 runs in 50 overs for the loss of 6 wickets. Pakistan U19 team has to do well in the bowling line to win the match with this target. Then Pakistan U19 team will be able to win this match. Japan U19 team will come out to bat in a very short time. We are waiting to see how well Japan U19 team can do in this match.

Pakistan u19 team are looking in a great touch from start of tournament, first they beat one of high standard team of the tournament India with a decent margin they they beat the emerging top team UAE which has done ordinary in recent tournament and now they continue thier winning streak by securing victory against Japan which wasn't enough difficult for them and they get an points which will help them to build thier confidence and continue thier momentum for upcoming elimination stage strong clashes. Anyway the new talented boy Huzaifa show their dominance and get a five wicket hawl through amazing spells. Hope soon thier guys will be proud of Pakistan national team.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka's U-19 teams stand undefeated and top the points table after the group stage matches. India is to face Sri Lanka, and Pakistan is to play against Bangladesh. These are going to be two good matches. All four teams are strong, while Pakistan takes a little above hand to win the title. Even the Bangladesh team is strong, as they were able to give a tight fight against a team that is better in position. Let's see who's going to win in the upcoming important semifinals and finals in the coming days.

In the 1st ODI match of South Africa Women vs England Women, England Women team has come out to bat. England Women team batsmen have scored 30 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 6.5 overs. England Women team is under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets so far. If South Africa Women team can bowl out England Women team within 200 runs in this match, it will be easy for South Africa Women team to win the match.

The series between South Africa Women and England Women has started again in which South Africa Women lost earlier in this series.  I also hope in this series that England Women will definitely win this series. But in the first match of this series, England Women's batsmen are not playing so well, their batsmen are not scoring so many runs, due to which I think it will not be such a big and difficult target.  If South Africa Women's bowlers continue to play like this, they will find the target easy.  More importantly, South Africa Women's bowler has taken 7 wickets in 30 overs. England Women's batsmen have scored 144 runs in 31 overs, their batsmen will be able to score a maximum of 230 runs, this will not be an easy target for South Africa Women.England Women's batsmen should also score maximum runs as they are such a good and strong team to win this series as well.

ODI tournament start and today second game between Ireland and South Africa women was took place at Diamond Oval stadium. England women team was won toss and opted batting Inning first. South Africa first secured a amazing 6 wickets and 70 balls victory in this big lead game. South Africa showed amazing gameplay and amazing strength and skill with Marizanne Kapp standing out as a talented player with a brilliant playing style. Watching their energetic performance of south Africa was really enjoyable. Fans are hopeful that their team will continue to show such exciting matches  with amazing performance and maintaining their form. England posted a record runs for 186 runs but South Africa chased out record runs for 189 and won the game. Marizanne Kapp showed best bowling/batting performance for South Africa and she conceding 24 runs and 5 overs and took 3 wickets and she scored 22 runs off 22 balls hitting 3 fours and 1 sixs. Congratulations to South Africa and best wishes for their upcoming matches.

England Women team is under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets so far. If South Africa Women team can bowl out England Women team within 200 runs in this match, it will be easy for South Africa Women team to win the match.

In today's match, South Africa had enough chances to win and they won only Laura Wolvaardt, she played well enough from the opening to the end, she was a stranger. Laura Wolvaardt's partnership was with Nadine de Klerk, these two played the most in winning today's match. They are very experienced players due to which they fought hard to ensure victory in this match and in the end they were ready to win by a large margin.

I thought I would see a big innings from the Pakistan Under-19 team today. In the previous match, Pakistan Under-19 team scored 314 runs against UAE. Pakistan scored 314 runs for the loss of only 3 wickets. Shahzaib Khan scored 132 runs and Riazullah scored 106 runs against UAE.

Pakistan's batting is very slow today. After 39 overs, Pakistan team scored 154 runs. Pakistani batsmen could not score even at an average of 4 runs per over. Every batsman's batting is very slow. Pakistan coach is probably experimenting with the players in his squad. Shahzib Khan we saw as an opener in the previous two matches. But today after the fall of 4 wickets Shahzib Khan came to the crease. Now Shahzib and Riazullah are at the crease. Both are very talented batsmen and capable of playing big innings.

In the end, Pakistan managed to score 243 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. None of the top order batsmen could play a big innings. So even though the opponent was weak, the Pakistan team could not score big. Pakistan lost 5 wickets to score 100 runs. Even then, Pakistan was able to score 243 runs.

Pakistan was able to find two young batsmen. Shahzaib Khan is a great batsman. We have seen great batting from Shahzaib Khan in the last three matches. Shahzaib Khan scored centuries in the previous two matches. And in today's match, he scored 45 runs. Riazullah was unbeaten on 66 runs.

Pakistan U19 players could not give a big target today. I expected Pakistan to collect 300+ in this match too. Because in the last match we saw the batsmen of Pakistan squad batting very well. Moreover, Japan U19 bowling order was weak. So Pakistan had a chance to give a big target. At the beginning of the innings, Pakistan players batted very slowly. Pakistan collected only 118 runs in 30 overs.

Despite not being able to give a big target, Pakistan U19 team was able to win by a big margin. The bowlers were able to do their duty properly. As a result, Japan U19 team's innings was stopped for just 63 runs. Pakistan team won this match by a big margin of 180 runs. Mohammad Huzaifa took 5 wickets in this match.

In today's 11th match of Pakistan U19 vs Japan U19 team, Pakistan U19 team came out to bat and set a target of 243 runs in 50 overs for the loss of 6 wickets. Pakistan U19 team has to do well in the bowling line to win the match with this target. Then Pakistan U19 team will be able to win this match. Japan U19 team will come out to bat in a very short time. We are waiting to see how well Japan U19 team can do in this match.

Pakistan U19 team was won this game easily and their opponent was not much strong and they beated their strong opponent in past games and unbeaten in this series at this moment hope we see great game between Sri Lanka U19 team and Pakistan U19 team. In India U19 team vs UAE U19 team, UAE U19 team lost game by big margin and they made 137 runs target in 50 overs by losing all wickets. Guha stopped Batsman of UAE team by taking 3 wickets in 7 overs and have 15 runs. Sharma and Hardik also performed well in bowling and total both took wickets. In batting Ayush and Vaibhav performed great and chasing all runs for UAE team. Aysh made 67 runs and Vaibhav scored 76 runs. Congratulations Indian U19 team to win game.

Rohit Sharma recently made a statement claiming that he wants to participate in the 2027 ODI World Cup. Now his childhood coach (Dinesh Lad) has made a statement confirming that. Rohit is almost 38 years now, and he will be 40 plus by the time of the next world cup. For comparison, Mahendra Singh Dhoni retired from international cricket when he was 39 years old. So there is nothing unusual in Rohit keeping on playing for another 3 years. But indications are that he will retire from other formats, such as test and T20I.

This match was a very easy win for South Africa Women in which they played very well and completed the match in 39 overs.  But I thought that South Africa Women team is weak, they cannot win against England Women. But South Africa women have proved that they were defeated in the series before this series but in this series they can play well and win the series. South Africa Women batsmen have saved their wickets due to which they have won the match.  If this wicket was not saved, England Women bowlers could weaken South Africa Women with their strength.

So there is nothing unusual in Rohit keeping on playing for another 3 years. But indications are that he will retire from other formats, such as test and T20I.

I think it would be good for him and the Indian cricket team if he retires in a year. It would be good for him because even then he was a great player. I think even if he goes in with the mental intention of playing well, his age and health will won't let him from playing well, which would be disrespectful to him. And I think no player wants a disrespectful retirement.

And it will be good for the Indian team if a new young player can build his career in his place and at the same time when Ruhit Sharma performs poorly in matches due to his age, then obviously it will not be good for the Indian team. 

And I will not compare Rohit Sharma with Dhoni because I think Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a legendary person and a person with a very good sense of humor and he took the right decision at the right time.

Newly one day competition has successfully arrived today and this competition was begun among Indian women sqaud against Australia women squad. First match of this competition was finished today and I did not see any interesting moments in this match because this match was fully one sided from starting to ending. Indian women squad has begun this match first with Batting Inning by winning toss task. Their batters were fully destroyed in first match and did not face the Great performance of Australia women bowlers. Their squad has managed to collect 100 scores just as a defend and this was one day competition not T10 and T20. Megan Schutt bowlers expressed their amazing performance and bowling style quite amazing. This bowlers wiped out half squad wickets total 5 which includes Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur. Australia top order batters Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield delivered their strong performance and their partnership was amazing with managing 35 and 46 scores.

The two semi-finals of the Under-19 Asia Cup are being held today. India Under-19 is playing against Sri Lanka. And Pakistan Under-19 will play against Bangladesh.

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat against India. But Sri Lanka Under-19 faced a batting disaster right from the start. I don't think Sri Lanka is very strong. Sri Lanka's chances of winning against India are very slim. Sri Lanka has scored only 28 runs in 10 overs, but Sri Lanka has already lost three batsmen. It is difficult for Sri Lanka to score up to 150.

Bangladesh vs Pakistan match is likely to be competitive. Both these teams are very strong. However, both have been performing a bit erratically. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field. And the bowlers are able to bowl quite controlled. Pakistan lost two wickets for just 7 runs. Shahzaib Khan, who batted brilliantly in the last few matches, could not score any runs in today's match.

And the bowlers are able to bowl quite controlled. Pakistan lost two wickets for just 7 runs. Shahzaib Khan, who batted brilliantly in the last few matches, could not score any runs in today's match.

I cannot consider Sri Lanka U19 team as weak. We have seen Sri Lanka U19 team win all three matches in the group stage. Sri Lanka won against Afghanistan U19 by a big margin of 131 runs. Sri Lanka team played quite well against Bangladesh. Although Sri Lanka won by only 7 runs. It was not easy for Sri Lanka to win against Bangladesh. Even then, Sri Lanka was able to defeat Bangladesh till the end.

On the other hand, India U19 team is strong but India team lost against Pakistan in the group stage match. Even then, I consider India as favorite against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka team managed to collect 46 runs in 17 overs. Sri Lanka players have collected an average of 2.7 runs per over.

On the other hand, even if pakistan could not start well against Bangladesh, I believe Pakistan will be able to win till the end. Pakistan's young players are very talented.

Your guess is not correct. In the group stage matches, we have seen that Shahzaib Khan and Muhammad Riazullah played big innings in most of the matches. As a result, the Pakistan team was able to collect big scores. But in today's match, Shahzaib could not collect any runs. Muhammad Riazullah collected only 28 runs from 65 balls. These two batsmen could not play well. As a result, Pakistan also failed to collect big scores. Pakistan's innings stopped at only 116 runs. I do not think it is possible to win such a small target. Bangladeshi bowler Iqbal Hossain Emon took 4 wickets in 7 overs.

Bangladesh is batting at a small target. Bangladesh has collected 20 runs in 6 overs. Bangladesh has not lost a single wicket yet. Zawad Abrar collected 17 runs. And captain Azizul Hakim has not collected any runs from 13 balls yet.

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat against India. But Sri Lanka Under-19 faced a batting disaster right from the start. I don't think Sri Lanka is very strong. Sri Lanka's chances of winning against India are very slim. Sri Lanka has scored only 28 runs in 10 overs, but Sri Lanka has already lost three batsmen. It is difficult for Sri Lanka to score up to 150.

Sri Lanka Under 19 team will be defeated badly in today's match. Sri Lankan batsmen were able to collect 173 runs. Due to the failure of the top order, Sri Lanka's batting was very slow. Even then, the team was able to collect 173 runs. But it was not enough to win against a team like India. Sri Lanka Under 19 team should have collected at least 250 in today's match. Then the match would have been competitive.

India will have no problem winning this match. Indian batsmen are batting very aggressively. Ayush Mhatre is out after collecting 34 runs from 28 balls. However, India's total at the end of 10 overs is 103/1. Vaibhav Suryavanshi made a fifty in just 24 balls.

Sri Lanka team played quite well against Bangladesh. Although Sri Lanka won by only 7 runs. It was not easy for Sri Lanka to win against Bangladesh. Even then, Sri Lanka was able to defeat Bangladesh till the end.

On the other hand, India U19 team is strong but India team lost against Pakistan in the group stage match. Even then, I consider India as favorite against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka team managed to collect 46 runs in 17 overs. Sri Lanka players have collected an average of 2.7 runs per over.

On the other hand, even if pakistan could not start well against Bangladesh, I believe Pakistan will be able to win till the end. Pakistan's young players are very talented.

The first semi final match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is in progress. Pakistan had such a good and amazing performance in the group stages matches but now they are losing it after getting so close.

Pakistan gave the target of 116 runs and lost all their wickets in the 37th over. No one looked like playing well today for Pakistan U19. The top order failed. Farhan Yousaf and Muhammad Riazullah got out after making around 30 runs each and none was able to play a long innings.

On the other hand, the Bangladesh team are chasing it very quickly with no hurry and did not take the pressure of the target because they knew they were ready to win. They have made 76 runs, the required run rate is now only 1.16 and with eight wickets in hand, I think Bangladesh will find a place in the finals.

They have made 76 runs, the required run rate is now only 1.16 and with eight wickets in hand, I think Bangladesh will find a place in the finals.

It seems like India and Bangladesh Under 19 teams are going to play the final match, it is not finalized yet but according to the current situation of both of the Semi finals, it looks like they both will be the qualifiers. Both the semi finals are one sided one and the results are very clear. And if you ask me, then my prediction will come true that no one can stop India U19 from winning the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup this season.

India needs just about 15 runs to win the match while on the other side, Bangladesh needs to 41 runs and both have many overs to make this score. Vaibhav Suryavanshi from India made 67 runs, Although he could not complete his century but he will be the player of this match (in case India wins).

They have made 76 runs, the required run rate is now only 1.16 and with eight wickets in hand, I think Bangladesh will find a place in the finals.

Yes, The first semi final between Pakistan Under 19 and Bangladesh Under 19 is also one sided match. Pakistan under 19 team only managed to score 116 runs all out. Bangladesh outstanding bowling performance especially Md Iqbal Hasan Emon picked 4 important wickets by just giving only 24 runs and restricted Pakistan under 19 team under 120 runs. Bangladesh is chasing the target and looks very comfortable current score is 88 runs in a loss of three wickets. Bangladesh Under 19 team needs just 29 runs from 32 overs i think Bangladesh under 19 will easily win the first semi final because required run rate is under 1 runs and they have seven wickets in hand.
