ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Have anyone watched the today semi finals of the under 19 Asia cup ?
India and Srilanka have defeated Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively in the semi finals. Now we would have the final between India and Srilanka tomorrow.

India would be favorites to lift the title of this Under-19 Asia Cup.

As it is just Asia level U19 tournament, I guess no one showed any interest on discussing and betting on it but at least from knock out stage I guess people might have started to watch this. I remember that India U19 was defeated by Pakistan U19 in league matches but now Sri Lanka managed to defeat Pakistan to enter the final. I am just seeing some new sprit among Sri Lanka cricket these days.

Not sure who is going to win the title, still India seems stronger than Sri Lanka and let's see what is going to happen tomorrow? Do you find any major crypto sportsbetting platform covering these matches?

I am following the score card on espncricinfo.com. SL shattered Pakistan dream of winning Asia U19 Cup today. It was low scoring game where SL only scored 147 runs. Pakistan must have chased it easily but its Mathew and Wellalaga bowling from SL that crushed Pakistan.

Pakistan against BCCI  , why you think so because it was a under 19 India Pakistan match . So you think that a loss in a T20 match will weaken the Indian team and what do you think about the current tour of South Africa, will they show the same weakness in Test matches or just in T20 and ODI  .

Well, Yes the loss in the world cup T20 match is the start of the downfall for Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Hope its is clear now  

Well, as you asked the Performance of India of their current tour of South Africa, I think India may win the first test but it will not be a convincing win. Remember South Africa is a weakest team and India should have won by an innings. But as I said, downfall started for them.

Mate, no one will remember how they win, but this will record their win against South Africa even they are very weak side it's not Indian problem it's their own internal problem which need to settled, but they fail due to have some investigations going on for what white players and commissions are having their own impact because now many players not feeling good with this all, and they are leaving cricket or this country for having some better future.

Losing just one match is never been downfall for any team or board, it's normal now please go ahead instead of talking about event which is already ended and now all need to look into future for better results.

I think south africa board is doing fine by including black players in the team. Its south africa team which is controlled mostly by white people, blacks were not included due to discrimination. In start it will create some problems but in the long run it will be good for south Africa cricket as majority will control the cricket board.

A very good competition between rising stars from Asia in early matches all teams done very good job and Pakistan was favourite after beating Afghanistan and India, but they were completely overconfident after beating India so Sri Lanka done very good timely job and beat them in very low scoring match by 22 runs now we have final between India vs Sri Lanka where India is favorite and have very good chance for winning this title.

Very shocking news from South Africa as De Kock suddenly announces retirement from test cricket after losing first test against India; the reason he mentions he wants to spend more time with family.

Bangladesh U-19 team lost to India by almost 100 runs. However, the Bangladesh team did not lack talented players. Yet they lost by a huge margin only because of the remarkable bowling prowess of the Indian bowlers. Ravindra, Raj, Ravi Kumar and Vicky both took wickets. The Bangladesh team players needed to do some more homework because they went down to play against the best team in the tournament.

India and Sri Lanka will meet in the final. Sri Lanka is weaker than India. India will win the title.

No surprise there. Among the Asian nations, only Pakistan is able to offer some sort of challenge to India. Other teams like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan are going down the drain. And as far as I know, Sri Lanka doesn't even have a proper domestic setup for the U-19 players. They are mostly dependent on the schools and colleges to mentor their age group players. Given this, it is a big achievement that they have reached the finals of the U-19 Asia Cup. But at the same time, I don't think that they have any serious chance of a win against India.

The final match between the two countries have started in Dubai.  SriLanka  won the toss and chose to bat. They scored only 15 runs in the first 10 overs. That's only 1.5 runs per over.
Are they playing the one day final or playing a test match

Keeping wickets in hand does not mean that you stop scoring runs.

Bangladesh under 19 team is good enough. I have seen their past match performances. The boys play well. Unfortunately, they have lost by a huge margin to India. But I would say that this young team from Bangladesh is better than Sri Lanka under 19 and Pakistan's under 19 teams.
However, India's match against Sri Lanka is an easy one. I am looking forward to watching a one-sided match. Undoubtedly, India will win this match.

Completely one-sided in a match. Sri Lanka batted first and scored only 106 runs. They scored 106 runs in 36 overs. Very weak batting. India won easily. They lost just one wicket. Raghuvangshi was unbeaten on 56 runs.

Looking at the players of the Sri Lankan Under-19 team, it seems that the future of the Sri Lankan national team is not very good. Because many players from the Under-19 team get a chance in the national team. If a team is formed with such players, they will not be able to win against Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

We can't judge future from these matches because too many changes going to happen in coming years with many new players will be in, and we will have new faces from domestic sources and academies. Many countries need to do some aggressive decisions for having better results for future, but they have no enough funds for these things.

In semi-finals Bangladesh vs India was completely one-sided match and in other overconfident Pakistan lost against very weak side Sri Lanka even target was also not good enough but still it's good for them as now they will have their lesson for future matches. India won very easily, good for them and congrats to all players, but they need to keep things normal and have lesson from Pakistan lost.

Indian U-19 team played really well with a disciplined bowling effort followed by Raghuvanshi's half-century helped India win this tournament. SL was struggling from the beginning and it was a completely one-sided match. Bangladesh match was also not that different they, what can you expect from these two teams they are governed by the same board whose International teams performance has been deteriorating every year.

If the future of Sri Lankan cricket is looking bad... then what do you say about that of teams like Pakistan and Bangladesh? At least Sri Lanka managed to reach the finals. But the one sided nature of matches is a cause for worry. The gap between pig-3 (India in this case) and the rest is widening. Cricket is dying outside the tier-1 test nations. And even among the lower ranking test nations, the future is not looking very bright. I won't be surprised if India ends up like the US in basketball, in 5-10 years from now.

Nobody knows the future, we haven't predicted the Indian team will undergo such tough times toward last quarter of 2021. SL team is undergoing tough times because 4 of there key players left at the same time. Cricket is still one of the most popular game in SL and very soon we will see quality players joining in.

Such performance was not expected from SL after they beat strong Pakistan team in Semi finals. India was favorite for this match but some fight from SL was expected which sadly they didn't show. Still its good for struggling SL cricket that there U19 manage to reach finals. Even rain was not able to help SL since they have too low score.

NBA in The USA and IPL in India is completely different, and I am not agreed with you here that India could on this level in next few years because we have 3 different formats and all need some good quality and skills for having good form which is not possible for them with just IPL their other domestic set up is not good enough for producing good players and Australia having very good record in this with their strong domestic system now New Zealand is also improving quality after having some good intention from youths and better results in last two ODI world cups with WTC win is bonus for them.

England requires some good changes, then surely they will also back in form with some better quality. With all difficulties and dirty politics, Pakistan is also doing good in cricket for many years.

BCCI is everything but delusional and bloody damn good when it comes to money printing scheme so they would focus on IPL only. BCCI will continue to play bilateral series tho but if things go really south then worst case scenario would be PIG 3 playing each other and in longer run Pakistan too.

If i'm not wrong then Sithara is pointing fingers towards IPL only, after all that's where BCCI earns money and if everything goes well with India's overall economy in next 10 years then i would say IPL going to explode real good. BCCI will add more teams for sure and will add more billions of dollars in their piggy bank, IPL media rights in value already surpassed the all ICC tournament rights combined. Watch out for upcoming media bidding, according to my reading its going break all previous records.

Apart from the IPL, the state-level leagues such as the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), T20 Mumbai League and the Karnataka Premier League also have the potential to bring big bucks for the BCCI. So far they have ignored this sector, and have imposed a lot of restrictions (ban on foreign players and even players from other state associations for example). Another new revenue source could be the WIPL. We have debated about this a lot, so I am going to skip. A third proposal is to start a second-division league, comprising of tier-2 and tier-3 cities (such as Raipur, Jammu, Guwahati.etc).

I think the big 3 will continue playing amount themselves they have already been doing. They would not include Pakistan as then they won't be able to absorb the Pakistani victories. 

We have PSL and KPL to take some breath away from IPL and in the midterm, you will see PSL gaining more popularity.

We should think and focus on some matches and series between Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Afghanistan. We have enough talent to attract the media / advertisers and money.

May be that is the reason Pakistan needs to play Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and they can tour West Indies because we can see competitive matches. They is no way Pakistan are going to tour England Australia or South Africa and expect any competition  .

If every Cricket board and franchise could attract huge advertisement, let them make the money they aspire and if that can be used to improve cricket so be it.
