India's team has scored 118 runs in 24 overs with the loss of just 2 wickets, if they can collect this amount, India will definitely win. But Bangladesh's poor performance has also been in terms of batting and bowling and fielding. There was a possibility of being run out some time ago but it could not be done, because missing such a run out means taking the Indian team towards victory.
 The captain of the Bangladesh team needs more experience, because of his lack of proper control, the Bangladesh team is not able to perform well in this match. If India could have put the batsmen under pressure from the beginning, then Bangladesh could have played a competitive match.

India vs Bangladesh game, today 2 nd game of Championship trophy was played today and ended now. Bangladesh team won toss and elected to batting first and gave chance bowling to India team. Bangladesh team set 228 runs target in 50 overs by losing all wickets. I already predicted that Bangladesh team lost this game and this game was totally one sided. India team won game by 6 wickets and 21 balls remaining. Shami showed great help in bowling and he took down 5 wickets in 10 overs and gave 53 runs. Harshit also played good and bowled out 3 wickets in 7.4 overs and Giving 31 runs. India won this game easily and Gill made a brilliant century 101 runs in 129 balls and hitted nine 4s and two 6s. Congratulations India team to win the easy game.

The winner of this match was clearly seen as Bangladesh is not a strong team due to which India beat them with their strong play.  Bangladesh batsmen have played well, if their target had been higher then Indian batsmen could have achieved this target as well.  If the Bangladeshi bowlers had played well, they would have benefited more because India's bowlers are strong, but their bowlers are focus more on stopping runs and taking wickets.  If the Bangladeshi bowlers put their efforts there, they might have been able to defeat India.  Your prediction was absolutely correct and you have predicted wisely because the way Bangladesh played it was telling that they will not win this match.  Bangladesh batsmen scored very few runs in the beginning due to which their target could not be so big.

Bangladesh's batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing 5 wickets in less than 8 overs. However, if Bangladesh had managed to hold on to their momentum from the start and not lose so many wickets, they could have given India a good score today. If Bangladesh had been able to score 280 to 300 runs today, the game would have been very competitive. However, on the playing field, one team wins and one team loses, that is the rule of the game.

India could have been more aggressive in this match if Bangladesh could have given a higher target. Look at how India played, they performed for a long time but kept the wickets under control. Only four wickets fell, this can happen towards the end of the game but every player has performed well from their place.
So I think it will be difficult to stop a strong team like India with such a weak performance like Bangladesh. Where the top batsmen have been out early, I definitely see a natural chance for India to win.

Bangladesh team is not equal to India. That is why Bangladesh team was likely to lose. Although Bangladesh is capable of defeating India, the performance in today's match was very bad. Except for Touhid Hridoy and Zaker Ali, everyone played poorly. Bangladesh team is already much weaker than India and could not start well. That is why the result was not as expected. Those who were supporters of Bangladesh could have been a little relieved if they could have competed in the match. But they did well with their target of 228. The team fell by 4 wickets of India. Shubman Gill gave a century innings without losing because of which India was able to win the match easily. If Bangladesh could have brought him back quickly, they could have taken some more wickets.

India should have finished the match way earlier thanks to the small target. Bangladesh going from 50/5 to 228 stunned me considering how they were struggling in the initial overs. Bumrah would have made sure they didn't cross 200.

Anyway, I wonder how much longer Kohli will continue being a burden to the entire team. Just glad that Rohit is playing consistently well again after ages.

The target of 229 runs was enough for India, so they easily defeated Bangladesh and secured victory. After Bangladesh's batting disaster at the beginning, Tanjid Hasan and Zaker Ali were able to take the team to a target of 229 runs. In this case, if the top batsmen had not failed, perhaps Bangladesh could have done better.‌

Rohit Sharma starts every match with an aggressive batting style. Rohit Sharma's aggressive and destructive batting style helps the team overcome the initial pressure and thus, they can easily score against any big target.

Still, Indian batsmen struggled at times. They won with just 3.3 overs to spare, which is not something that we would expect from India, especially when they play at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer got out without making an impact, followed by Axar Patel. In the end, it was left to KL Rahul to provide support to Shubman Gill. For the Bangladeshis, Taskin Ahmed looked good, while the spinners (Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Rishad Hossain) also did their job well.

Bangladesh did not play well especially since we know they can do better. They have beaten India before but this time they did not play well. It was clear that team was having trouble except for Touhid Hridoy and Zaker Ali who played little better. India started strong and Shubman Gill played very good game which helped India to win easily. If Bangladesh had gotten Gill out sooner things might have turned out differently. But it was clear that India was better team in this match and Bangladesh needs to work together and improve for their next games.

Bangladesh has to be the weakest team in this edition of the Champions Trophy. Their recent form is not good, and also Shakib al Hasan is not part of the team anymore. Apart from Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali, the next highest score was 25 from Tanzid Hasan. Three of their top-order batsmen (Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim) got out for ducks. They struggled against both the pacers and spinners. Given their performance in this match, I don't think that they will be able to win even one match in this tournament.

[As-Soon-As]

Today, a highly competitive match will be held between Afghanistan vs South Africa, today's match is a competition for both teams. Because the players of the Afghanistan team are already performing well this season based on the playing experience of each of their players, but the players of the South African team are quite skilled in this match.

However, I am deprived of betting in this game. I cannot think which team will win, and I could not determine much difference between these two teams, which is why I did not bet. But what are your opinions and which team should you bet on?

Today finally we will see the first match in the second group B that will be played  between South Africa and Afghanistan. Both teams are equally good. This third match also set to play at Karachi Stadium.

If we look head to head both teams, Afghanistan is looking more stronger as they both played their last one day series in 2024, the month was September. In three ODI games, Afghanistan were winning the two matches, so who wins today ?  I am pretty sure Rahmanullah Gurbaz would not be lightly for South Africa and in the bowling side, they have Rashid Khan.

[virasog]

Bumrah would have made sure they didn't cross 200.

Bangladesh wouldn't even able to cross 100 runs if Bumrah was available to play. Mohammed Shami has bowled quite well today. It will be good for India if he can perform in the same way like he did it in the last ODI world cup. He has taken some important wickets today. I thought Shami would get the man of the match award, but it was given to Shubman Gill for his responsible batting performance.

Thankfully, India did not miss Bumrah, he was not playing as he was not a part of squad due to injury. However, Muhammad Shami entertained us well with his magical bowling spell. A new player is in the playing XI, Harshit Rana. Yesterday, he was playing his third one day match for India International team, the way he performed was very good, he was not as powerful or strong as Bumrah but still impactful. He took two wickets.

Axar Patel also took two wickets. In short the Indian bowling line up did not disappointed us. Muhammad Shami was the nightmare for Bangladesh Batsmen. He got five wickets.

In the Tri-Nation series, we did not see South Africa playing well against New Zealand and Pakistan. Even after giving a big target in the match against Pakistan, South Africa lost. A few days ago, South Africa also lost the ODI series against Afghanistan.

The performance of South Africa's players is quite erratic. Afghanistan seems to be stronger than South Africa. Afghanistan's bowlers are capable of doing well now, and there are several talented batsmen in the Afghanistan squad. Even then, I would say that both Afghanistan and South Africa have the potential to win this match. Because South Africa is quite experienced.

No matter how much Bangladesh improves in the Champions Trophy, the next matches are against New Zealand and Pakistan, whether it is in Karachi or Dubai, it will be tough for Bangladesh to beat these two teams in the Champions Trophy. If Bangladesh's Tanjid Hasan and Zaker Ali had not performed well yesterday, Bangladesh's score would have been even lower and it would have been easier for India to win. However, at the moment, New Zealand is very strong, but Bangladesh may play well against a weak Pakistan, but the extent to which it will be possible to win will depend on Bangladesh's overall performance.

Today's third match of the Champions Trophy is Afghanistan vs South Africa, I think it will definitely be an amazing and exciting game between these two teams. Although the players of both teams are very strong in this match and they have a lot of experience in batting and bowling, it is impossible to be sure who will win today. However, if the batting performance of the South African team plays strongly, then they will definitely be able to defeat Afghanistan. Moreover, Afghanistan is also strong enough and they have prepared their squad very well for the Champions Trophy, so today's match will definitely be amazing.

You can definitely bet on this match and predict the match correctly Afghanistan team players are very good and experienced batting and batting.  The batting line of Hasmatullah Sahidi, Ibrahim Jordan and wicket keeper Rahmatullah Gurbaz played a major role in Afghanistan's victory.  Seeing this, there are many bowlers in the bowling line including Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan whose performance is very good.
 But between these two teams, Afghanistan team is far ahead in the current season because of the victory against South Africa team in the previous ODI series.

India should have finished the match way earlier thanks to the small target. Bangladesh going from 50/5 to 228 stunned me considering how they were struggling in the initial overs. Bumrah would have made sure they didn't cross 200.

Even if we leave Bumrah alone, two absolute dollies were dropped, had they been caught BAN would have gotten finished far more earlier. Anyhow, Bumrah is injured so can't do much, but Arshdeep who's benched should be in XI as he's better than Rana.

Mohammad Shami had completely upset the Bangladesh squad, meaning how much worse they could play after falling five wickets for 35 runs. If Bumrah and Arshdeep had been in the Indian squad, Bangladesh might have been all out earlier, but proportionally, India should have finished the target of 229 runs long ago, but India failed to do that, and the game ended with just 21 balls remaining.

If desi comms are to be believed then those were the toughest chances. 

At one time, likes of Atherton etc were talking about Kiwi's fielding and how good fielding played its parts against Pakistan but Sunny G had to jump with his obivous biased comments on Indian fielding.

[Lidger]

Bangladesh's batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing 5 wickets in less than 8 overs. However, if Bangladesh had managed to hold on to their momentum from the start and not lose so many wickets, they could have given India a good score today. If Bangladesh had been able to score 280 to 300 runs today, the game would have been very competitive. However, on the playing field, one team wins and one team loses, that is the rule of the game.

India could have been more aggressive in this match if Bangladesh could have given a higher target. Look at how India played, they performed for a long time but kept the wickets under control. Only four wickets fell, this can happen towards the end of the game but every player has performed well from their place.
So I think it will be difficult to stop a strong team like India with such a weak performance like Bangladesh. Where the top batsmen have been out early, I definitely see a natural chance for India to win.

Seeing the fact that India won the match after 40 overs, many may think that India was under a lot of pressure and if Bangladesh could have added 30 or 40 more runs to the score board, Bangladesh would have won the match. For those who are thinking like this, I would say that if Bangladesh had scored 320 plus runs in this match, Team India would have chased that run and won. Basically the score was very low so no batsman was in a hurry to get runs but they batted by looking and hearing in this case they took out the match very easily just like they had batting practice. When Rohit Sharma was asked about this Bangladesh match after winning the match, he directly said that he did not have any extra plans for this match or that they did not care much about the score because it was a very easy matter for them. Rohit Sharma said one more thing if they had not missed the catch then Bangladesh's innings would have ended much earlier. Bangladesh should focus on playing good cricket without making these predictions.

South Africa vs Afghanistan underway. Nabi got one pretty quickly in the initial overs itself. If the proteas post a total over 250, I feel that the Afghans are in trouble though they are capable of chasing down big totals.

On the other hand, if RSA posts a total below 250, advantage Afghanistan who are potentially the dark horse of this particular tournament.

South Africa got a good start today. Scoring 83 run in 15 overs is a very nice start when you know that they have lost only a single wicket. Ryan Rickelton has made 50 on 48 balls and is still batting. Temba Bavuma is also supporting him and seems like South Africa will make a total beyond 300. If they doesn’t lose many wickets till 30 overs, we can even expect 350 runs too. Afghanistan bowlers yet to make an impact in this match.
