Considering this dodgy bowling lineup of India and the kind of start windies got here.

It would be criminal from windies' side if they don't touch a minimum 350 score. Belter wicket to bat on so better if it's around 375 ish.

WI openers started pretty well, I didn't expect them to play with this much patience and also being aggressive, after then 15 overs or so, I thought Indian bowling is completely messed up especially if they uses Nithish as the opening pacer.

But this is another match practice game to score some runs for their career. Hitman missed it, but Virat did exactly what he had to.

There were few good shots from the windies openers but we bowled absolute filth to them and any decent opener would say thank you very much for such gifts.

Don't know what they are trying to do with reddy by giving him new cheery. Could've been massacre in the first inning if windies had played kuldeep carefully.

Gill keep struggling with his usual cramps and then there's a GOAT.

It is not going to be an easy match for Sri Lanka, but if they win this match, they will indeed win the series. There are injury concerns in the England side as Jos Buttler was injured in the last match, and whether he will be fit to play in the decider is still unknown. For Sri Lanka to stand a chance of winning the match and the series, they will completely rely on Kusal Mendis and Dunith Wellalage.

The third ODI match between Sri Lanka and England has already ended where England defeated Sri Lanka by a huge margin of 223 runs. To be honest, England's batting was great today. After the first wicket fell for 6 runs, another opening batsman of the team, Tom Banton, gave a great century, along with the order batsman Captain Harry Brook scored 77 runs and another wicketkeeper batsman Jordan Cox scored 76 runs. And England set a huge target of 355 runs after losing 7 wickets in the allotted 50 overs.
When Sri Lanka came out to bat in the second innings, they lost their first wicket within a run. In the end, they could only collect 132 runs after losing all their wickets. Captain Kusal Mendis scored the highest score of 35 runs for the Sri Lankan team.
England's Liam Dawson took 3 wickets as bowler.
With Sri Lanka losing the third ODI match, England won the three-match ODI series.

IND / WI

The One Day International series is being played by almost every team and it has been suggested that the teams will now start playing One Day Internationals. We all know what will the results of the series that has started today, which starts with WI and IND. WI can never come first in this series, but we can see a nice atmosphere in the game from their performing. As long as IND is limited with their coach and their practice, they have weight on everyone, so IND will be first in this series too. WI players are defending themselves very nice  and have not shown any futility in 8 overs and are also increasing their runs. Greaves has added 41 runs with nice performing and if he continues to play with intelligence, one side of the aim will be based on the tight work of this player. The WI players will not let any incompetence in the aim, this is the power with which they will make this wins.

India is strong in the ODI format and they can beat any team. today india beating West Indies quite easily by 8 wickets and lead the ODI Series with 1-0. West Indies openers played well they didn’t lose any wicket before the 20th over but they didn’t cross 300 runs. Justin Greaves played a wonderful innings scoring a well-deserved century but their bowlers didn’t defend the total. indian team easily chased down this huge total with only the loss of two wickets. Virat Kohli remained unbeaten throughout the innings and won the match for india single handly. I think West Indies needs to work hard on their bowling because if their bowlers don’t break big partnerships, then they are losing all matches in this Series.

West Indies team, although their batting performance was relatively good by collecting 295 runs, but they were very weak in the bowling line against India. The Indian team took only 2 wickets. If the West Indies team could have bowled well, then of course if they could have put pressure on the Indian team, the match could have been more exciting. But we saw India's great batting. The batting they did in the opening was really interesting. Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli were very good, which helped the team to win quickly. India won by a huge margin of 8 wickets today. They won the first match of the ODI series by a big margin and went ahead in the series. We were really surprised by Virat Kohli's performance in today's match, especially the way he batted was worth watching, he scored so many runs so quickly. But anyway, India is ready to win the next match and they will win this ODI series, as can be seen from their performance.

Gill keep struggling with his usual cramps and then there's a GOAT.

Look at the form Kohli is in, as if he is again in his prime. More than 15K ODI runs done. A carnage after he got his 50 runs there is nothing stopping this guy from breaking Tendulkar's record if he continues to play. I was thoroughly entertained by seeing him bat again, as he used to do 10 years back. Gill has been struggling with his cramps for quite some time now. I am not sure why the physio has not sorted this out for him. Well, it also seems that the Captain's pressure is not disrupting his performance with the bat.

Virat Kohli is now the fastest player to score 15000 runs in ODIs in 303 innings, going past Tendulkar's 377 innings. West Indies were 50 runs short of giving a tough target to India because if you are playing against India at there home then target must be around 350 otherwise it won't be easy for the bowlers to win the game. Virat Kohli remain not out on 139 runs while Gill is also a centurion today. I was a bit surprised that Kuldeep was given man of the match award because to me Kohli deserve that award more today for his 139 runs innings.

With Sri Lanka losing the third ODI match, England won the three-match ODI series.

When England gave Sri Lanka a target of 355 runs, it seemed that Sri Lanka was going to lose the match. When the run target becomes over 300 runs, it becomes difficult for a team to meet that target because on one hand the target and on the other hand the nerves work, so it is not easy to meet the target. In today's match, Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Pathum Nishanka in the beginning and then Sri Lanka lost by a big run margin after losing the series. In other words, Sri Lanka could not bring them back to their performance like in the second match, due to which the series was lost and in the last match they were also defeated by a big margin of 223 runs.

Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill scored quite well in this match because the target their team had to chase was 295 runs which was given to their team by West Indies and this was the first match between India and West Indies. The West Indies players also looked quite active in this match because this first and this match was quite important for both of them due to which the West Indies players showed a very good performance in this match. Justin Greaves scored 101 runs and the rest of the batsmen also played well but when their opponent Team India started batting, the first player scored only 32 runs but only two of their players and almost two players completed the target which is mentioned above and this match was won by eight wickets and 50 balls. West Indies tried their best but failed.

We are comparing different eras here, but Kohli is always a delight to watch after he gets past those outside-edge dismissals in the first few balls. Even if they scored another 50 or 60 runs, India would have chased that comfortably because they still had 9 overs left while chasing this 295.

Jaddu isn't the same anymore, he is on his worst run. Took one wicket in the last 10 or 11 innings with avg of 350 or something.

Virat Kohli always continue his career like a goat and being inspiration for rest of young generation for sure he should be on top to set standard for youth. Moreover Kohli runs milestone were truly extraordinary like being the only player to score 10k as a fastest then with time  11k , 12k and now 15k with fastest innings show how consistent he remained in his late 30 where most star player slow down and his performance graph start to face downfall.

Anyway that was truly an exciting match to watch and I do believe momentum are with blue shirt and even if windies are able to score above 350 still the magic man will chase it down singlehandedly and may be completed his 200 too, while regarding MOM so Kuldeep Yadav departure each and every possible big threat to them and truly play the difference maker in the context of the game.

[Nanga Parbat]

West Indies emerge as a strong than previous games. Their target of 295 runs is quite nice and modest or we have seen improvement in the performance of their batsman. While on the otherside it is clear that India is very strong team with all aspects. The pair of Virat Kohli and Shabman Gill played master class innings. They took the responsibility of the their team and help their team for the chase. By looking the overall performance it is definitely clear that India will clinched the win but we here cannot ignore the improvement of West Indies players.

In this match, their batsmen have given a very good target, although they were working hard for this target from the beginning and they succeeded in it, but their poor bowling, which made it easy for India to victory, became a defeat for them. The Indian team is very skilled in both batting and bowling and they victory by working hard and efforts in this. Whenever these two batsmen play, the chances of the team success go up to the sky. Kohli is a very strong player and is a very important batsman in the Indian team. It can be seen from this that India succeeded by scoring 300 runs in just 41 overs, which seems enough easy, but it takes hard work and playing together. West Indies are strong, but they will be defeated due to their somewhat careless bowling.
