ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

It was quite an easy match for the South Africa women's team against India and they won comfortably by 8 wickets. In my opinion, India should have put a lot more runs on the board to defend against a team like South Africa. India it was just not enough runs on the board and South Africa had an easy match. It will be really interesting to see an Australia versus South Africa final in my opinion.

I don't know which match you were referring to as lat match between India and SA was a nail biter. Indian team gave a good target of 274 runs and SA on very last ball was able to chase it down. A no ball in the very last over from India did the job for SA. Overall its a good performance fom Indian team in this WC.

Australians have been dealt another serious blow. Another bad report on Australia's squad as the ODI against Pakistan approaches. Following Steve Smith's withdrawal from the upcoming white-ball match vs Pakistan, Mitchell Marsh is also expected to withdraw following a hip injury suffered during training. Green has been an excellent replacement for Mitchell Marsh, I rate him higher than Marsh. This series represents a golden opportunity for Pakistan, and they will definitely find a way to win it. Unless Pakistan play rubbish cricket, there is no reason Pakistan cannot win 3-0!

This match is heart breaking for India team and supporters. That no ball in crucial time changed the entire situation. Well done to South Africa on a thrilling win. A breathtaking triumph for South Africa on the last ball, this implies devastated as well as satisfaction. South Africa's outcome affirmed West Indies place in the World Cup semi-finals. West Indies express profound gratitude to Indian women. There is a decent opportunity Australia will win this cup.

Another defeat for Indian Woman and now their World Cup dreams are over. The final over was really interesting and the no ball in the last over was crucial and turned the tides around. Full credits to South African woman for a wonderful chase, even when they were loosing wickets Mignon du Preez stood at one end to make sure she will be there till the end and a fully deserved victory and a lucky inclusion for West Indies woman in the semis .

I would call India unlucky not to qualify for the semi finals as they started the tournament with good performances. However, later they lose their momentum. On the other hand, England women's team started the tournament with losses in their initial matches but they bounced back well in the later matches and finally qualified for the semi finals.

Nice observation bro. India and England women's team both have apposite reflection so far in the tournament. England women's team turn over those losing days and qualified in the semi-finals but Indian women's team lost their momentum in the middle despite brilliant start. I should say it's truly hard to lose by small margins. Indian women's team is by far best team in Asia, it's a curse on India that they didn't win any ICC tournament since ages. Luck didn't favor them although they played good cricket. Better luck next time.

You can't use same excuse again n again, hearing this excuse since 2017 when they lost the finals against the England.

Point is our girls are not learning anything from their mistakes, they keep choking on key moments and virtually no consistency. Less we talk about their fitness level and fielding the better. Yes they are talented, no doubt about that but this is also true they are far behind on fitness level when comparing to SENA countries. Then they also have unnecessary rift between senior players.

yahh, Women's cricket is already not big enough. And among these teams, India is a very promising team in my opinion. But it's been long and we have seen what promises are worth. Now the promises are just not enough and they have to start delivering. I know they are a little bit neglected when it comes to BCCI but even the board is not going to give them what they want unless they are not bringing good enough results.

Netherlands tour of New Zealand. New Zealand won by 119 run Their last match in 1996 against Netherlands. Netherlands  improve their cricket now but New Zealand big opponent for Netherlands. But New Zealand some good player don't play this series. I hope this match will be good fight with both.New Zealand vs Netherlands 1st ODI tomorrow, I hope this match will be interesting.

Now with some good experience in international matches but fail to adopt some good tactics and approach is main reason I watch few matches and feeling sorry for these ladies as they have no good strategy against top-notch countries even New Zealand match was also lost is shocking for me these ladies can do some better but fail same happened in matches against South Africa and England.

I was few matches from Australian women's as well and these was best from their side a good and aggressive approach give them 100% result in all league matches now we have Australia vs West Indies and South Africa vs England here most chances we will watch Australia vs England final because England improve their performance very good in last matches and South African already done their best for this tournament.

Netherlands tour of New Zealand. New Zealand won by 119 run Their last match in 1996 against Netherlands. Netherlands  improve their cricket now but New Zealand big opponent for Netherlands. But New Zealand some good player don't play this series. I hope this match will be good fight with both.New Zealand vs Netherlands 1st ODI tomorrow, I hope this match will be interesting.

This is a one-sided series. New Zealand will easily win all the matches of the series. However, I am happy that this series has been organized. Because, if the relatively small teams get a chance to play against a renowned team, they will become more experienced. They will understand their own mistakes. There will be opportunities to learn from experienced players. Although the Netherlands lost this series, they will be inspired by this series. Will try to perform better in future.

I think that England is making a good comeback in this tournament and I have always said from the start that the two teams that are the best in this tournament are Australia and England,
and it will be really great to see these two teams in the final.
But I think Australia is just one step ahead of England and they should lift the trophy of this tournament.

After a power packed test series Australia and Pakistan are into the ODI series. The three match ODI series begins today. Pakistan with its players are in good form once after the Pakistan Super League. Australia on the other side is with much eager to make the first Win. Few of the regular players of Australia are into the IPL, so there is more changes in the squad. Same as the test series this will be big, because both are in good form. All the three ODI matches will be in the same Gadaffi Stadium, so depending on the first match we can expect changes in the squad.

I was watching the ODI between Netherlands and New Zealand. At one point, the Netherlands were in trouble, at 45/5, but a partnership between Michael Rippon and Pieter Seelaar took them to a decent position. However, there is a rain delay ongoing right now. I hope that play may resume soon, else New Zealand may lose a few valuable points in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Right now they are at the 12th position in the points table (although it is due to the fact that they have played far less matches when compared to other teams).

This means apart from Australia, New Zealand players will also miss start of IPL. Netherlands were 45/5 but they ended up scoring 202 runs in 49.4 overs. New teams must try to play there quota of 50 overs this will give them confidence and with time they will develop experience and also score runs. At the moment NZ need 66 runs in 25 overs.

The performance of the Netherlands was very good. Even after losing 5 wickets for 45 runs, no one thinks that they will be able to give more than 200 targets. Top-order players need to be more responsible. Winning or losing a match depends a lot on the top-order batsmen's performance. Match winning is easier when top-order players play well. We did not expect the Netherlands to win the match or the match to be competitive. New Zealand easily won the match. However, the match would have been competitive if the Dutch players had batted responsibly.

Netherlands top order batting was a total disaster today. If there top 4 players had contributed there part Netherlands would end up giving target of 250+. Nonetheless its a good effort from them since they are not a test playing country. Netherlands are playing  T20I and ODIs very often now which must be giving them a good experience.

ODI action between Australia and Pakistan has started. Following the first ODI Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first. A power packed test series win for Australia, they're going to dominate Pakistan in the ODI series as well. Pakistan's bowling is bit week today, as Shaheen and Shadab is missing. But, will Hasan Ali take the lead of their bowling attack? Pakistan should restrict them under 300. Aussies current RR more than 7 runs, that stands 300 will be a min score.

Australia are in full control of today's match. They are 190/ in 29 overs, Pakistani bowlers are helpless today in front of mighty Australian batting. Travis Head score 101 runs on 72 balls. Not much success for Pakistani bowlers today. Seems like Australian will score 400 runs.

Pakistani bowler did well and Australia scored 313+ run.Pakistani bowler Haris Rauf bowling was great and he did well today.But Australian batsman didn’t finished properly. Pakistani ODI team very strong site.I hope Pakistan can chess this run and i hope Pakistan will win This ODI.

Pakistani bowlers did well job that's why Australia scored 313 runs. Australia is dominating now in bowling also. They have got 3 key wickets and Pakistan still need 166 runs in 20 overs. Dew factor is not much seen till now due to which Pakistan bowled first. I think they made a mistake of bowling first.

I did not expect Pakistan to win even after Australia set a target of 314 runs. Pakistan has an experienced ODI squad though. However, it is very difficult to win by batting for 314 runs. Moreover, the opponent here is experienced Australia. Pakistan bowlers should have bowled better. If they could have stopped the Australians by 280, Pakistan would have had a chance to win.
