ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[As-Soon-As]

Afghanistan's batting performance today is really commendable as they batted so well and won against England. Ibrahim Zadran's batting performance was outstanding which inspired the audience a lot. He scored 177 runs but just missed out on a double century. He was the highest scorer for the team. Afghanistan gave England a target of 325 runs which they failed to achieve. They tried hard to beat Afghanistan in this match but they were bowled out in the end. England lost by just 8 runs which was very painful for them. England lost today's match and they were eliminated from the Champions Trophy.

Azmatullah Omarzai took five wickets alone, and almost every bowler got a wicket and they performed well from their place. Today's victory was the most needed by the Afghanistan team, because this is how you have to perform against strong teams. England was able to defeat the team after attacking from both the bowling and batting sides, but I would say that Ibrahim Jordan, and Azamullah Omarzai from the bowling side played the most important role in this match.
 The England team was running out of time and was facing pressure quickly, in the end, the England team lost due to the pressure of wickets due to the high wicket fall.

Joe Root played responsibly, but he couldn't lead it to victory as the bowling is quite good. England hadn't expected such a performance from the Afghanistan team. As said, the team is performing extraordinarily in ICC matches. Now the Champions Trophy is getting heated up, as the England team has left the Champions Trophy. Now it's time for the three teams, South Africa, Australia, and Afghanistan, to decide the team to reach semifinals.

Afghanistan team will have to give another tough test, which will be organized with the match against Australia team. Afghanistan team will have to perform very seriously in this match, Afghanistan team will have to move towards the semi-finals only through difficult situation.
Afghanistan team won in this match by putting a lot of pressure on England team, Afghanistan team performed well in this match from both bowling and batting aspects and won the team. It was very tough and challenging for Afghanistan team, they will have to perform exactly like that against Australia team.

Now it's time for the three teams, South Africa, Australia, and Afghanistan, to decide the team to reach semifinals. Today another important match is scheduled between the host nation and Bangladesh. The team that loses leaves the tournament without a win.

It was a close match, nevertheless. England bowlers leaked too many runs towards the depth overs. A total of 113 runs were scored by Afghanistan from overs 41 to 50, which gave them the advantage in the match. Liam Livingstone was the only bowler who had an economy of less than 6, and he was under-utilized (bowling only 5 overs). And within the initial powerplay, two of England's batsmen (Phil Salt and Jamie Smith) were back in pavilion. Joe Root tried his best, and Jamie Overton made some big hits towards the end. But it was Afghanistan's match in the end.

Afghanistan cricket team is getting ready for another tough game against Australia. To move forward to semifinals they need to play their best and handle pressure very well. Their recent win against England was great with team doing well in both bowling and batting. But doing as well against Australia will be very hard. Australia is strong team and Afghanistan needs to try very hard and use same skills and determination they used against England if they want to win. And we have seen what they did in the ICC World Cup with Australia. Both gave tough time each other. So I think this match will be very interesting. So let's see what they both will do?

It will not happen that England will be defeated easily. In the match against Australia, we saw that England lost the first two wickets for just 43 runs. But England collected 158 runs from the duckket-root pair. Root and duckett are batting well in today's match too. After 13 overs, England have collected 80 runs. Root is at the crease with 23 runs and duckett 31 runs. If these two batsmen can survive at the crease, England will win this match. England is able to collect 6+ on an average per over. Root and duckett are batting at a decent strike rate.

In the end, England was defeated. England also lost against Afghanistan by 8 runs. If players like Salt, Smith and Livingstone could have batted well, England had a chance to win. But England could not bat well against Afghanistan bowlers at the beginning of the match. England has lost two consecutive matches. England has no chance of going to the next round.


Bangladesh vs Pakistan match will be held today. Both these teams are in a weak position. The performance of the batsmen is very irregular. Bangladesh and Pakistan have not been able to win a single match yet. It is difficult to predict which team will win today's match. However, the overall condition of Pakistan seems to be stronger than Bangladesh.

Watching the game, I initially thought that Afghanistan might not be able to score much today and win against England but in the end Afghanistan played very well and in a short span of time gave England a target of 325 runs. When England was given a target of 325 runs, I thought today's match would be very tough and exciting. But the game was very exciting because England came close to achieving Afghanistan's target. Anyway, congratulations to the hero of the victory, Afghanistan, for defeating England and winning today's match.

Afghanistan won the game. It was so intense as in the last over England needed 13 runs in the last over. On 49.5 over, the England team had the loss of another wicket and they have been all out. Such a nail biting game and now for the next match of Afghanistan it will be super intense as if next time Australia wins Australia qualify for the semi final and if Afghanistan wins, they will qualify for the semi finals, the teams are depended on themselves. Such a big drama here is in the group B, next match will play today in between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

England's cricket has been in a bad state since the ICC ODI World Cup. After losing to Afghanistan in the World Cup, they lost to Afghanistan again in the Champions Trophy. However, Afghanistan is considered a truly strong team, having shown a strong example by defeating one of the teams, England, by 8 runs yesterday. Best wishes to Afghanistan as they beat Australia in their next match and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy.

As New Zealand and India have already qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League, today's match between Bangladesh and Pakistan is only a regulation match. Whichever team wins this match between Bangladesh and Pakistan, this win or loss will have no bearing on their progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Since Pakistan is the host country, Pakistan will definitely want to beat Bangladesh and win at least one match in the Champions Trophy. Actually, I consider Bangladesh and Pakistan in the same category considering the performance of Pakistan and Bangladesh in two separate matches against India and New Zealand. As both teams are in the same category, this match might be a tough fight and one of the teams who fight hard might win this match. Since the opening batsmen of Bangladesh are not able to provide good support to Bangladesh, I think that Pakistan will be ahead in terms of the possibility of winning.

[3kpk3]

Felt really great to see Afghanistan topple England to stay alive in the competition despite being the clear underdogs. England crashing out like this isn't surprising at all considering how trash their form has been in recent times.

Australia is probably nervous now considering how they were almost defeated by the Afghans in the recent ODI World Cup.

England were at top in 40 overs of their bowling, but sadly their bowlers lost their rhythm in last 9 overs which cost them 110 runs and this was huge difference here Ibrahim Zardan and Mohammad Nabi done amazing job and hit all around no English bowler were able to stop this flow of runs.



Specially batting from Ibrahim Zardan give good advantage to Afghanistan, and they were able to score 325 runs after this England's top order also fall badly down and give wickets easily to Afghanistan bowlers here Azmatullah Omarzai have career best figures while in death overs they keep nerves which helps them for having win in this important game and keep their hopes alive for last four which could be huge advantage for them in coming game against Australia.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh is going to be the last match today and the toss in this match was not completed due to rain. Both the teams have been eliminated from the Champions Trophy, their performance was not good and they lost every match and were eliminated. However, if today's match is held after the rain, then maybe Pakistan will have more chances of winning than Bangladesh. And since today's rain is not that important for any team, it does not seem like it will be a very exciting game.

The match between Pakistan and Bangladesh has been abandoned due to rain. Its raining in Rawalpindi for last 2 to 3 days. There is nothing interesting in this match, both teams will be happy to get one point and that's the only point they were able  to get in this trophy. Pakistan cricket at its worst, even as host nation they finished last in the group below Bangladesh. Group A is dominated by India and New Zealand, they both will play the semi-finals. Situation in Goup B has become interesting after Afghanistan got victory against England last night.

The match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is being watch with a lot of hopes but due to rain the match has not start yet because in this match with Pakistan it is hope that if they beat Bangladesh badly then they can play for the next match.  Bangladesh is getting to play well in this match as Pakistan game is not that strong so we don't expect much from Pakistan to win this match.  Most of the matches in all ICC are not becoming interesting due to rain due to which some teams are not playing well with their original form and lose the match.  Pakistan will have to play well in this match and beat Bangladesh because if Bangladesh win this match then it will be difficult for Pakistan to win this trophy.  If this match does not start in a short time then this match will also not be play like 7 matches.

It is not surprising that Pakistan Bangladesh match was cancelled because of rain  considering weather in Rawalpindi. It is disappointing result but neither team is too upset because they have both had tough time in tournament. Pakistan performance has been especially disappointing especially since they are host country. They came in last in their group even behind Bangladesh. On the other hand India and New Zealand have been doing very well in Group A and will probably play each other in semi-finals. But Group B has become more interesting because Afghanistan beat England last night which was big surprise.

However, the match between Bangladesh and Pakistan was abandoned today due to rain and both teams were awarded one point each. However, it was good for Bangladesh and Pakistan that each team finished this year's Champions Trophy with one point. Of course, both teams have long since been eliminated from the Champions Trophy qualification list. Today's match was a very disciplined match between the two teams.

It was a normal match for both teams, because although both teams performed, we could not feel the competition and excitement between the two teams. Because the opening matches were full of competition and excitement, where we were able to observe the performance and experience of each player. Because the weather conditions are not yet under proper control, the weather in the sky has gone out of control.

This ICC Champions Trophy match between Bangladesh and Pakistan has not been held in any way and there is no possibility of it ever being held. We saw today that the match between Bangladesh and Pakistan was not held at all due to heavy rain. This match would not have had a significant impact on Bangladesh and Pakistan, but the team that could have won would have probably earned points. Just as the Bangladesh cricket team played poorly in this Champions Trophy, the Pakistan cricket team played poorly in this Champions Trophy. The Bangladesh team might have lost to Pakistan today but they didn't have to lose because of the rain.

Today, I might have seen an exciting match between Bangladesh and Pakistan because both teams are equally strong. However, Pakistan, although they were supposed to perform well at their own venue, failed to do so, but in today's match, we could have definitely seen a competitive match between Bangladesh and Pakistan. But the rain changed the picture of that competitive match.

This ICC Champions Trophy match between Bangladesh and Pakistan has not been held in any way and there is no possibility of it ever being held. In fact this match was declared abandoned due to excessive rain on the field. This match might not have had a significant impact on the two teams, but the team that could have won would have probably earned points. Just as the Bangladesh cricket team played poorly in this Champions Trophy, the Pakistan cricket team played poorly in this Champions Trophy. The Bangladesh team might have lost to Pakistan today but they didn't have to lose because of the rain.

That is sad to know, in fact it is the 2nd match of the champions trophy that is abandoned due to rain. This match was to be played at Rawalpindi Stadium and the other match that was abandoned between Australia and South Africa at the same venue. However this was the last match at this venue and therefore hopefully we won't see any more matches abandoned. Both teams got one point each and it wasn't any important match as both teams are already out of this competition.

Yes, It is rainy season in Pakistan today, it is raining everywhere and there is a possibility of rain in the morning, after that the weather is fine. This match of Pakistan against Bangladesh has ended without any result due to the rain, the ground staff was having a hard time in draining the water. Pakistan had a very disappointing performance in the Champions Trophy, we finished last in the group with -2 run rate. Bangladesh also did not win any match in the champion Trophy. If Pakistan had played this match, there would have been more chances of winning it, but it was of no use. I think the selector had wrongly selected the team from the beginning. The important match of Champions Trophy will be played between Afghanistan and Australia, the winning team will qualify for the semi-finals.

The last match of the Champions Trophy between Bangladesh and Pakistan was abandoned due to rain due to which the fans of both the teams might say that the rain resulted in the two teams gaining a point each. If there are two worst performing teams in this Champions Trophy tournament then they are Pakistan and Bangladesh. Whereas Pakistan hosted this Champions Trophy so expectations from them were high at the start of the season. We have seen great excitement in the group stage matches this season of the Champions Trophy and hopefully we will see more competition in the semi-finals from all the teams that will qualify for the semi-finals.
