India VS England
The last match of this ODI series has started. India won the toss and choose to bowl first. England have already lost 2 wickets and have scored just 29 runs. Bad start for the English side. This is an important match of the series as it decides who wins the series.  

England
  Now there is too much pressure.  Let's see what England play now after 5 wickets.  Now if they can play keeping the wickets at a level then there will not be much pressure on them.  And if the wicket falls now, they will be under more pressure.

It would be interesting to watch Kohli's batting performance today. I think the English side should be able to score more than 200 runs. They have lost 5 wickets but they have already scored 160 plus runs. I am not expecting much from Kohli in this match and I think this match will pretty much end up his career.

It would be interesting to watch Kohli's batting performance today.

Would be amazing tbh.

Babar made a century and now it's only fair if Kohli score some runs too (not a big target so may be 40-50-ish would be enough) as nowadays there is some sort of bromance going on in between both of them.

Edit

Oh well Dhawan is gone so that's a beautiful platform for Kohli.

71st loading? Fingers crossed.

West Indies played this series like an associate team. They should have performed well against a weak team like Bangladesh. In third ODI only Nicholas Pooran scored 73 runs, rest of the batting collapsed and gave Bangladesh another easy win.

The concluded series just demonstrated who was the weaker team. This is the worst performance by West Indies in a tri series in their history and the lowest scores they had in history. So who was the weaker team ? Bangladesh played brilliantly and i am not sure why the West Indies cricket board created pitches that helped spinners a lot and Bangladesh took full advantage of that situation even in the absence of Shakib Al Hasan they were able to dominate in all the matches and white washed West Indies.

India is chasing a total of 260 runs and they already lost their top three, it is going to be a difficult chase, If England is able to pick a couple of wickets then the pressure will do the rest and England will win the series.

The last IPL season is going to have great impact on HP career because before this IPL no one was having good feeling about him but now suddenly he is amazing all-rounder a big change is happened and this is going to be turning point for this player.

Now we can compare him with Kapil Dev he is having amazing skills for changing games frequently as today he has done in his first over two good wickets and now in second spell when Team India needs he brings down England's two settle batsmen. Buttler, Moeen and Livingstone were on good touch, but suddenly introduction of HP bring back Team India in this game after end of 40 overs they are 214 for 7 is ideal situation for Team India hopefully now bowlers will not allow them to cross 250+ target because if they achieve this then surely it's going to be tricky for team batting second here.

that's a beautiful platform for Kohli.

It's poor from Kohli again as he falls down on 17 and India was under pressure but now Hardik Pandya and Pant both doing good job for their team with very responsible inning from both players and run rate is also good with this all now they only need to stay at crease until we have some better figures because today Indian tail enders list is long, and they can't do something better with this all if these two can play like this then surely match is going to be had entertaining end with today again Topley hero for England with three top order batsmen's wickets.

In this game, Kohli was unable to score more than 17 runs. Don't lose hope, Virat Kohli, you'll always come back stronger than before. When 3 wickets have already fallen, they don't seem to have the patience to stick around, but Pant and Pandya are forming a solid partnership now. Furthermore I don't see any obstacle that will prevent them from reaching the winning total and winning the ODI series.

Interesting to see the partnership between Pant and Pandya, it's good to see both these players in form before the world cup. I wish even Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli could come back in form so that the whole team looks good for the world cup. These 2 senior players have to be in form if India wants to win the world cup, because you cannot remove these players from playing 11 and if they remain in this form it is just hurting the batting line up.

India now need less than 50 runs with 12 overs remaining.

It is because of Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya that India is now in a winning position. The openers along with Virat Kholi again failed.
Its time that Virat Kohli should take some rest from international cricket as his presence with no form puts extra pressure on the Indian batting lineup.

I think you are talking about Hardik Pandya and wow, comparing him with Kapil Dev certainly seems to be an over-exaggeration of his abilities. And we are also not taking the fact into consideration that Kapil Dev was playing a whole different format. But I have to say Hardik Pandya played really well in the last IPL. And that is certainly enough to have a positive effect on his career. Because in my opinion, he will be an invaluable part of the Indian team moving into the next T-20 World Cup. And about comparing him with Kapil Dev, I really couldn’t tell if you were being sarcastic or not.

But I am not sure if India will actually try to give him the captaincy because he did so well as the captain of his team in the IPL. And another reason for me to think that is because the current captains of the Indian team are not doing very well. India have tried changing the captaincy a lot in recent times.

Bangladesh vs West Indies 3rd ODI
Batting first, West Indies scored 178 runs in 48.4 overs.They managed to score 178 runs losing ten wickets.Right now Bangladesh need 105 runs to win in 31.1 overs.Bangladesh have won two out of three ODI matches and winning today's match will be Bangladesh's biggest win.However, I have 100% confidence that Bangladesh will win today's match.

In the end, Bangladesh did not have to return empty-handed. They performed brilliantly to win the ODI series. West Indies, on the other hand, did not do well in their last three ODI. When I was watching west indies batting in the last match in a crowed place, they were 15 run for 3 wickets. A supporter of West Indies said that they should bat like T20 matches. Why they are trying to play 50 overs. I just deserve, normally that the supporter could not bear it due to their bad performance.

Bangladesh performed terribly in the Test and T20 formats. But in the ODI format, we got to see a new Bangladesh team. Bangladesh has dominated every match in the ODI format. Despite a batting disaster in the last match, Bangladesh won the match in the end. On the other hand, the West Indies team is very strong in the T20 format. They often collect more than 180 in 20 overs. But it became difficult for them to score more than 200 runs in the ODI format. They need to practice more if they want to do well in the ODI format.

Indeed, Bangladesh is a perfect team for ODI matches.They played three consecutive matches beating the West Indies by huge margins in each match This proves that Bangladesh is far ahead in the ODI game.But they are very weak in T20 and Test series. West Indies is a very perfect team in T20. But they are most vulnerable in ODIs.

Bangladesh is a bit weak in T20 and Tests. West Indies is a very strong team to play T20. But they are not very strong team for ODI series Congratulations to Bangladesh as they have won three out of three ODIs in a row.In this they have proved that Bangladesh is a powerful team to play ODI.

One of the best all round performance from Hardik Pandya and Maiden 100 by Pant give England third ODI series lost at home an amazing win to Team India in a difficult condition which is surely best from them. Topley started in a good way like he has done in second ODI, but today both aggressive players were in good form, and they play few amazing shots which give timely recovery to them after losing four early wickets.

Kohli again fail to give any positive impression which is surely now headache for selectors as World Cup is coming in just three months, and now they are going to West Indies for another ODI and T-20 series. India's need to have few top order batsmen in good form if they want to perform good in mega event but sadly right now Dhawan, Sharma and Kohli all out of form.

[Haunebu]

As expected, India defeated England despite initial issues during their innings. England are over-dependent as usual on certain players which keeps screwing them again and again.

Pant and Pandya were amazing and totally took the game away from England. Why the heck does Kohli keep getting so many chances? I love his batting, but he needs to embrace the fact that he needs a long break to help recover his form.

Smith has also had a lean patch in recent years, but he still scores centuries now and then. This is the best way to support him in my opinion.

Three important and experienced batsmen in India's top order are out of form. The coming world will not be good for India. If Rohit, Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan don't play well, India won't even make it to the semi-finals of the World Cup. But I'm worried aboutKohli. He is likely to be dropped from the team if he fails to return to form. He was a complete failure in this.

Kholii is under pressure and he has gone through enough criticism already
I think it is an end of career for Kholi - once the player is this much under pressure - they barely come back.

India's top order is out of form, but the team have got players who take responsibility and perform according to the match situation. One such is the third ODI against England. According to the scoring pattern of India, it looked like an easy win for England. Later things changed when Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant joined and made good partnership.

[pakhitheboss]

After the recent IPL win as a captain of Gujrat Titans, Hardik Pandya as player has changed a lot. Now he can not only bat but bowl too. Yesterday's match proved that India can rely on him. Rishab Panth perfomance as batter and as a wicket keeper cannot be overlooked. Kohli did it once again got just 17 runs in the match repeating his previous performance. How logn will the selectors keep selecting him?

I think it is an end of career for Kholi - once the player is this much under pressure - they barely come back.

With the all criticism surely now he is also feeling some serious pressure because time is running out quickly for him with the World Cup is just coming and selectors feelings are also coming in few days about this all even he is experienced, but his form is concern for all just because of this they are giving him another chance in West Indies ODI series for me this is going to be vital for his career if he can't do anything positive here then surely he is going out of game, or maybe they give him long break but if he is able to perform in well then surely it's going to be big relief for all even Captain Rohit Sharma will also feel good about him.

India won the three match series 2/1, in last ODI England batsmen were too shy to face Indian bowling and got out on just 259 runs. Indian selectors have dropped kohli from next tour seeing his performance. Kohli scored 17 runs in his last ODI and definitely need rest. He will come back strong
