LOL... Tony Ura was playing so well, but he got out immediately after getting to 50. Now Sese Bau has joined Kiplin Doriga at crease. The PNG run-rate is still above 6 runs per over, and they are nearing the 100 mark (98/1 after 16.2 overs). They have the momentum with them and should try to get to a total of around 300. United Arab Emirates do have some very experienced batsmen with first-class experience in India and Pakistan, and it will be a tough task for the PNG bowlers to defend any total which is less than this level.

PNG is sitting on very last position in this league. They have won only two matches so far one against USA and second against UAE. I don't know the reason why UAE has made a team that is almost 100% from south asia. Its now very clear that there is zero interest of cricket in UAE and no resident of UAE is interested in cricket, still they have a team of imported players.   
At the moment PNG is in good position and if they can give a target of over 270 then surely they have a chance to win there second game against UAE.

United Arab Emirates vs Papua New Guinea
United Arab Emirates and Papua New Guinea started 2nd match where United Arab Emirates opted to bowl first. Papua New Guinea already score 34 runs in 3 overs without losing any wicket. This is really a good start for them. Between these two teams, we usually refers to United Arab Emirates who will be front. I think they will have some advantage by winning the toss. But if Papua New Guinea can set a big target then the result of the match can be change even though the United Arab Emirates has enough power to chase it down. If Papua New Guinea won the toss and decided to bowl in the same way, then there could have been some doubt about the result of the match. After all in today's match Papua New Guinea will try to give good gifts.

PNG is still going well. They played 10 overs and they didn't give any wicket to United Arab Emirates. And the Current run rate is also good at 6.00.  And Tony Ura is playing well and is near to 49 runs and soon he will make 50 runs. If they will play like this so I think they can give 300+ target to United Arab Emirates. And I hope the PNG can with.

Yes I would agree with you so far I also find that Guinea are doing well with their batting performance in today's match. Compared to other matches, we could see that the Papua New Guinea batting lineup is performing much better today. Especially talking about the last match, they lost badly to Nepal.  Let's see how they can do bowling performance in today's match. Batting performance was going pretty good. If this continues, as there is more to go, I think they can easily touch 270 runs.

Maybe the ICC has allowed the cricket team to be arranged in order to create their interest in cricket. When their country reach in a better stage, they will gradually be able to pay attention to the cricket.

The collapse of the two wickets, United Arab Emirates has greatly stressed. This time if Papua New Guinea can pick up 2 wickets through a few good deliveries, the match will go towards them. It is said that this time is very important for both of the two teams. One side Papua New Guinea needs early wickets another side United Arab Emirates have to stay in the pitch.

This is the 3rd win for PNG in this league and 2nd against UAE. PNG were bowled out in 50th over for 262 runs, and in reply, UAE were restricted to 131 in 35 over. Chad Soper was the man because of which PNG was able to win the game as he picked up 5 wikcets in his 10 overs spell. He is also man of the match because of his magnificent spell. This is an indication that PNG has the potential.

I was actually surprised that United Arab Emirates lost this badly against Papua New Guinea. No one in their batting lineup could stand up to Papua New Guinea's bowling line-up today.  They lost four wickets in just 10 overs while Papua New Guinea had zero wickets till about 15 overs. Behind the win I will give full credit to Papua New Guinea bowler Chad Soper for getting them the win with taking 5 wicket+ 2.5 econ.
However, in this match, I think Nepal has gained more than Papua New Guinea and if they get just one point, they can overtake United Arab Emirates in the ranking.

UAE was in good position. The match going completely one sided have made it disappointing. Papua New Guinea need to have consistency in the performance. Papua New Guinea used to score 200+ runs in most of the matches. However it losses most of the matches. UAE on the other side have good number of players, as it is a team combined from players of different countries.

Nepal will probably reach the place of USA, as it have more matches and the team is in better position with good consistency in performance over the last few matches. The next matches were for UAE vs Nepal and Papua New Guinea vs Nepal.

England  :  Bangladesh

After some time Bangladesh vs England match is going to start in Mirpur. The home ground of Bangladesh. And the Bangladesh team is always strong in Mirpur. Undoubtedly, today's pitch will be spin-bowling friendly. We have seen earlier that Mirpur's pitch is more supportive of spin bowlers. As a result, batsmen are not able to score big. Bangladesh's squad is good
There are some talented spin bowlers. England should focus on their spin bowlers and batsmen in this match. The outcome of this match will mainly depend on the performance of the batsmen and spin bowlers. Hopefully, we will get a chance to enjoy a competitive match.

It is very difficult to win against Bangladesh on the Mirpur pitch. The Bangladesh team is always the favorite on this pitch. Bangladesh team won the series against mighty India in the last such home series. Bangladesh managed to win the series by winning the first two matches in the 3-match series. And if England considers the Bangladesh team weak in this series, then they will make a big mistake. I know that the Bangladesh team still can't win the series against England. Even then I would say Bangladesh is the favorite in this series. Bangladesh has more chances to win the series.

Almost everyone knows about Mirpur pitch. This usually works more in favor of the bowlers. If you follow the average result of the match in this stadium of Bangladesh team, you will definitely get good results. Bangladesh can create a big barrier against any big team. In the last international match at this ground, Bangladesh won by 5 runs against India. Where the surprising performance was Mehidy Hasan Miraz, a young player of the Bangladesh team. He led the Bangladesh team to victory with 83 runs off 100 balls. Bangladesh is likely to do well in the first match of this ODI series.

Bangladesh is now 33 run and got one wicket I think Liton das will be a big wicket for England. In the beginning, Bangladesh played very well in the first five overs with a run rate above six, but now it seems that their aggressive attitude will gradually decrease. Anyway still there are more  strong batsmen for perform , Shanto ,Sakhib al hasan , Musfikur Rahman and also Mahmudullah.
I think there is no need for Bangladesh to play aggressively now, if they go aggressive towards the last with an average run I think it will be good for them. As the match is taking place at Bangladesh's home ground,and  Bangladesh is always best at their home ground, so I think the chances of Bangladesh winning this match are high.

[Sithara007]

Tamim Iqbal is gone now. Match looks evenly posed for me. BTW, I am glad to see Mark Wood back in action, after three months of absence due to injury. He seems to have recovered completely and in his first over, he topped 150 kmph. If he bowls at such pace, life will be unbearable for the Bangladeshi batsmen. So far he has picked one wicket, while Chris Woakes got the other one. Jofra Archer, meanwhile was disappointing today and conceded a lot of boundaries. In sometime we will get to watch Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid in action as well.

If Mushfiqur Rahim holds one side and Najmul Hossain Shanto can plays according to the current strike rate then the partnership will be big one. Moreover, Mushfiqur Rahim acts as another dependable symbol in the Bangladesh team. On the other all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is also in good form. Hope Bangladesh team is going to give their best today. If the score reached above 250 on this pitch I think it will be a fighting score.

Najmul Hossain doing good with his bat and run rate was also going good . However, to win, they should not only bat well, although it is still not possible to say how their batting performance is going to be until the last. Because two big wicket is already gone. England is also in good form now and their percentage of winning with Bangladesh is more  and in Mirpur Home ground . So the match is still unpredictable but I will put England ahead in the percentage winning ratio. I am gonna also take England for my betting.

[Sithara007]

After a decent start from Bangladesh, now it looks as if they may struggle to get to a total of above 200. The spinners (Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid) have come to bowl and they have already picked up 2 wickets. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan are gone, and now it is up to Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudullah Riyad to get them to a decent total. As of now, England has an edge. But enough overs remain for Bangladesh to make a comeback. This is a 3-match series and losing the first match may come back to bite Bangladesh.

Few moments ago, those who were dreaming big but they left the field early. Whom I did not expect much he is standing quietly at one side of the Bangladesh team. Najmul Hossain Shanto is on the pitch with 40 runs off 46 balls. His current strike rate is 87.23 which is very appreciable at the moment. Even there are still two good batsmen Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz left to bat on favor of Bangladesh team. They are well suited to bring the team to a reliable position from any difficult situations. But cricket is a game of uncertainty where good thing is expected from some good players but most of the times that doesn't happen.

At the starting 250+ seems to be an easy score. Slowly the run rate have fallen as wickets began to fall. Najmul Shanto nearing his half century. Someone needs to support him to score better. For now Mahmudullah is playing good and the game being played in Bangladesh gives an edge. 20 more overs left and Bangladesh have reached 129 runs. If they start scoring at a rate of 6rpo, surely 250+ is reachable. Wicket fall shouldn't continue as the previous session.

Bangladesh were in a very good position at the start but the two spinners Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid took two wickets in a row to keep the Bangladesh team under some pressure but Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Mahmudullah Riyad pretty much took Bangladesh to a respectable score. At the end of 35 overs, Bangladesh collected 158 runs and lost four wickets. But if Bangladesh can play like this in the end then the collection of Bangladesh can be like 270 at the end of 50 overs. Targeting between 270 will make it quite difficult for England on the Bangladesh pitch.

At the end of 46 overs, Bangladesh collected 207 runs. And they lost 8 wickets. If Taskin and Taijul are at the crease, the Bangladesh team will be able to give a target of 235-240. And given the pitch conditions it is a good enough collection to fight. However, if this pair is broken, it will be difficult for Bangladesh to collect 220 runs.
The pitch is a spin bowling-friendly pitch. Bangladesh has several experienced spin bowlers like Taijul, Miraj, and Shakib. And so, if Bangladesh is able to collect more than 230, I think the chances of Bangladesh winning are high.

Today's pitch is completely bowling-friendly, I don't think England's bowling. Moeen Ali bowled just 7.2 overs and Adil Rashid bowled 9 overs. I wouldn't say their bowling was very good. Jorfa Archer and Woakes' bowling was good enough. And therefore England's experienced batsmen may not face too many problems in batting against Bangladesh's target of 210 runs. If the target was more than 250, the match would have been more competitive. Even then, if Shakib and Meraj can bowl well, Bangladesh has a chance to win.
