ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

The performance of Pakistan players is always very erratic. It is impossible to predict the performance of this team. I am very surprised to see Pakistan's performance in today's match.

South Africa has given a huge target of 353 runs. Even then, it does not seem that South Africa will be able to win the match. After 42 overs, Pakistan has managed to collect 283 runs for the loss of only 3 wickets. Rizwan scored 94 runs and Agha Salman scored 97 runs and remained unbeaten. Pakistan needs to collect 70 runs from 48 balls to win.

If any team can perform even more inconsistently than the Pakistanis, then it has to be the South Africans. Their batsmen worked really hard, and got them to a total of 352/5 in 50 overs. And despite this mammoth total, now they are going to lose this match, as the 4th wicket partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha is treating the Protean bowlers with disdain. The three spinners (Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi and Senuran Muthusamy) all went for less than 6 runs per over. But the pacers leaked too many runs.

India absolutely humiliated England in the T20 and ODI series though I wouldn't be surprised if we see a reversal in their performances in the Champions Trophy based on their historical performances in big ICC tournaments.

The three spinners (Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi and Senuran Muthusamy) all went for less than 6 runs per over. But the pacers leaked too many runs.

They are missing their frontline bowlers like Rabada and Anrich though which is why they aren't really playing with their full strength team.

[N.O]

Sri Lanka have given a small target of 215 runs. We thought Australia would win easily. Because in the Test format we have seen good batting from the Australian batsmen. The Australian batsmen have played very well in both the matches. But today the Australian top order collapsed quickly. Australia lost their fourth wicket for 31 runs.

I expected to see responsible performances from Jake Fraser-McGurk and Smith. The three batsmen in the top order have a combined total of only 5. However, it cannot be said that Australia has no chance of winning. Marnus Labuschagne , Alex Carey ,Aaron Hardie and Sean Abbot are all capable of batting well. Australia have scored 52 runs in 13 overs. Australia need 163 runs to win.

Australia International ODI cricket team could not chase small target in this match . Sri Lankan International cricket team gave small target but they won due to their bowling because they took wickets early in this match and after they gave back to back wickets and Australia all team out by making only 165 runs in this match. Sri Lankan team won the match by 49 runs and that is series of two matches in which Sri Lankan team is leading by 1-0 but we didn't expect that kind of result because we know that Australian batting is top class of the World but they underestimate the Sri Lankan team and they have to face lose in this match.Charith Asalanka was awarded as player of the match because he made century in this match and he made 127 runs in this match and he also took 1 wicket in this match.

Australia is a strong team but today they lost and Sri Lanka wine the game. Sei lanka man played a good match their performance was very good. Charith Asalanka is a very talented player for Sri Lanka team and he showed very good performance. I hope  Australia they will play better in the next match. This time they proved themselves by playing a good match. The 1st match between Sri Lanka  and Australia was played R Premadasa Stadium. Sri lanka won the game by total runs for 214. Australia team did not chased record total runs for 165 and lost the match. Sri lanka won by 49 runs. The  best batting performance in Sri Lanka man team was by Charith Asalanka scored 127 runs and 126 balls hitting 14 fours and 5 sixs. Congratulations to Sri lanka for their upcoming matches.

We have to admit that Sri Lanka played very well today. I will give the credit for Sri Lanka's victory to Sri Lanka's captain Charith Asalanka and Sri Lanka's bowlers. Charith Asalanka's innings of 127 runs helped Sri Lanka reach 200+. Also, the bowling of Sri Lanka's bowlers was very controlled. Especially Maheesh Theekshana was able to take 4 wickets. Also, Asitha Fernando and Wellalage took two wickets each. Due to the controlled bowling of Sri Lanka's bowlers, Australia's innings was limited to 165 runs.

I wasn't expecting this type of batting performance by the Pakistan team. If you ask anyone that can Pakistan chased the 350+ runs in an ODI, the answer would be No. But Pakistan did the impossible today.

Mohammad Rizwan played a captain knock, scoring 122 runs and remained not out. Salman Agha batted even better and made 134 runs. Seems like Pakistan batsmen got their form back right before the final match. After seeing this batting performance, many people would be betting on Pakistan in the final match. If they can win the final too, it will be a big moment for the home team.

Pakistan has made the pitch friendly for batting. Usually, the second team batting line-up collapse in front of a big target. But it hasn't happened in this tri-nation series. All the matches were high scoring matches. Seems like the champions trophy matches are going to be high scoring in this time. The bowlers will have a difficult time in such pitch condition. The partnership between Rizwan and Salman Agha was extraordinary today. Pakistan has won the match easily for their big partnership.

Rizwan and Agha made record from Pakistan side, there 260 runs partnership is now have the highest 4th wicket partnership for Pakistan in ODI format. Pakistan has won the game but worrying thing for them is that there main pacers Naseem and Shaheen are giving too much runs. Pakistani selectors have given too many chances to Shaheen and Babar, it's time for them to take rest and play domestic cricket to improve there performance. Heinrich Klaasen make a come back in ODI cricket today with stunning 87 runs innings but South African bowlers were too inefficient to defend such a huge target.

We also saw Pakistan's poor performance in the match against newzealand. The New zealand team gave a target of 331 runs and Pakistan managed to collect 252 runs. In today's match, South Africa gave a huge target of 353  runs. Even then  Pakistan won easily today. Agha Salman and Rizwan both scored centuries. The Rizwan-Salman partnership made pakistan  collect 260 runs. And because of this partnership, Pakistan was able to win the match very easily. Pakistan and New Zealand are going to face each other in the final. I think New Zealand will win the final match.

Really Pakistan team played very good and won the big game with opponent South Africa team.  South Africa team won toss and they elected to bat first and gave a bowl chance to Pakistan team. South Africa team set a target of 352 runs in 50 overs and losing 5 wickets. Shaheen helped team to win the game and he took down 2 wickets in 10 overs and gave 66 runs. Rizwan and Salman both made a brilliant century and Rizwan made 122 runs in 128 balls and hitted nine 4s and three 6s. Salman also made 134 runs in 103 balls and hitting sixteen 4s and two 6s. Congratulations Pakistan to win the game and Pakistan team chased down all runs in 49 runs and lose 4 wickets.

Pakistan and New Zealand are going to face each other in the final. I think New Zealand will win the final match.

To be honest this is one of the big reason also for me that I wasn't expected this much good batting performance from the Pakistan team at least in this series. Although we are seeing that the pitch were batting friendly in the previous matches but Pakistan couldn't make anything good in the first match of their.
And this is also true that into this maths when I see that Babar Azam got out in only 23 run I assumed that Pakistan will gonna lose this match. But fortunately Pakistani batting squad give a good sign of not depending only one players. Anyway hatsoff to these two man Salman Agha(134) and Mohammad Rizwan(122)

Yes, Pakistan performed badly against New Zealand, Pakistan could not bat and bowl well in that match. However, in today's match, Pakistan batted exceptionally well against South Africa, easily achieving the target of 353 runs. Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan played the biggest role in achieving this huge target set by South Africa, their partnership was excellent. These two players were able to defeat South Africa due to their brilliant centuries, due to which Pakistan won by 6 wickets today.

It is not that Pakistan will not be in the series at home. Chasing the target of 352, the team lost 3 wickets before scoring 100 runs. But they did not despair. They turned around in the fourth and fifth wickets in such a way that they came back with a victory. I do not know how happy the day was for the Pakistan fans today. The way they came back, if they can play the final against New Zealand, then there is a big possibility. If Pakistan wins today's match, they will not only win the match but they will be far ahead in deciding the series. Although New Zealand is very strong, anything is possible.

The Pakistan team has played really well. Players Salman Agha (134) and Mohammad Rizwan (122*) have made a strong partnership when the team is 91/3. However, from the beginning, the Pakistan players kept the run rate strong. This has given additional strength to the players Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan to stand at the wicket and score slower. Even now I believe that the Pakistan team is depending much on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Maybe if Mohammad Rizwan had lost his wicket earlier, surely this could've been a fighting match at the end overs or a loss for the Pakistan team. The England vs India 3^rd ODI has a similar situation. England started well, chasing the target of 356 runs. At one point England was 126/3 in 18 overs, but they weren't able to reach the target and ended the innings for 214 runs, losing every wicket.

[ZAINmalik75]

Only Fakhar Zaman can save the game now, Pakistan started well but I just hope Pakistan will go with this flow of runs while not losing too many wickets. Babar Azam made 23 before he was LBW by Mulder. Fakhar Zaman is still playing in a good style, Pakistan have to win this game at any cost, they can't afford to lose, no excuses for them. It is their home ground Karachi and the next final match of the tri nation series which also set to be played in Karachi as well. Let's see if Pakistan can qualify for it.

What a surprising results from pakistani team they simply nailed it in last match of the tri series against south African before heading to the final match again new Zealand, honestly just like any other I wasn't sure about Pakistan to chased such a big Target like 350 because we have seen in recent match where they unable to Even touch 300 figure against new Zealand, but surprisingly they turn things into 360° and out of no where make a comeback even lose wicket of baber one of his main player fakhar and Shakeel before even scored a total of 100 but then agha and Rizwan brutally punished rest of south African bowlers and thus with 250 partnership they divert a losing match in thier favor which is phenomenal. Hope so they will continue things like that in final too

Pakistan doesn't play well against strong teams so they can't win this series.  Pakistan have achieved this target with ease as they completed the target before the end of innings and lost only 4 wickets which very few teams do but Pakistan have done it against a weak team.  The South African batsman is hardworking as he is setting up a target of 300 plus and his bowlers are faltering due to lack of support.  This could have been happier if they had won against New Zealand as it wouldn't have dented their points and wins.  I am surprised that Pakistan has won this match and I am also happy because if they had lost this match, they would have been the weakest team in this series.  But New Zealand will beat them in this final match as well because Pakistan bowlers are very weak which makes them such a big target.  Pakistan cannot be considered as weak, but seeing their conditions, they will be considered weak.

The partnership between Rizwan and Salman Agha was extraordinary today. Pakistan has won the match easily for their big partnership.

In the first match between Pakistan and New Zealand, Pakistan was able to control the innings for about 40 overs but could not control the last 10 overs. Glenn Phillips' 106 off 74 balls helped New Zealand to post a final score of 330. However, in the Pakistan vs South Africa match, South Africa gave a good target but two impeccable centuries by Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha helped Pakistan to win today's match. However, Pakistan's batting performance today will greatly worry New Zealand in the final.

The first ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia today was completely unexpected, Sri Lanka proved everyone's predictions wrong today. They came back very well and were able to win against Australia in the first ODI match. Naturally many people bet on Australia in today's match, but due to Sri Lanka's unexpected victory in this match most people lost their bets.

I think Sri Lankan player Charith Asalanka deserves full credit for this match. There was probably no way Sri Lanka could win against Australia like this, but they were able to do that. At one point it could even be said that Sri Lanka put the Australian team under a lot of pressure in this match.

Sri Lanka displayed very bad performance in Test format competition and completely failed in both matches to defeat Australia squad but their squad made a strong comeback in One day format competition and today first One day match was finished among Australia squad and Sri Lanka squad. Sri lanka squad was begun match first with batting Inning and their members managed to collect 214 scores just after playing 50 overs with lost of all wickets. No doubt performance Sri Lanka batters was quite shit and just posted 214 scores as a defend. However, Sri Lanka bowlers supported their squad with amazing performance and put high burden in start of Australia's inning and first three important batter wickets picked up early Cooper Connolly, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short. Aaron Hardie and Alex Carey tried to build partnership but both unable after collecting 41 and 32 scores respectively. All wickets of Australia squad was cleared out at 164 scores just and their batters faced a defeat with 49 scores. Charith Asalanka performance was superb and he collected 127 scores and completed super century.

[LDL]

The performance in today's match between Sri Lanka and Australia can be called an achievement for Sri Lanka. It was a memorable match for Sri Lanka, as they bowled out Australia for 165 after being all out for 214, to win by 49 runs.

There was a 700+ run match between South Africa and Pakistan where South Africa batted first and managed to score a good number of runs. Achieving 352 runs for the loss of five wickets is a tough target in an ODI match, but Pakistan won easily with a big partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha. Congratulations to the Pakistan team for defeating South Africa by 6 wickets and facing New Zealand in the final.

[Glen Hoddle]

I never imagined that the England team would lose so low, but their bowling and batting performances have been poor.  Second match third match lost by biggest margin, England team was stronger than last time but this time they lost badly against Indian team.  But I think the performance of the England team should be improved both in terms of bowling and batting.
