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.

Batting for 314 runs, Pakistan had the ability to win. But for this it was necessary to build the partnership of Babar Azam's Rizwan. Rizwan did not play well today. In such important matches, the team has high expectations from Babar Azam and Rizwan. However, even if they lose the first ODI badly, they will try to play better in the second match.

For Pakistan team, chasing this big total is always going to be a challenge, and they need to improve their bowling and batting performance. Babar Azam and Imam Ul Haq are the only players to make an impact for the Pakistan team. Otherwise, what a disappointing performance by Pakistan in the match against Australia. Even without their main players, the Aussies were able to beat Pakistan at home. A 88-run win gives Australia a 1-0 series lead. Pakistan's loss of both the test and one-day series to Australia is considered 'hospitality'?

Anyone watching the semi-finals between Australia and West Indies (Women's ODI world cup)? Australia seems to be comfortably placed and they are at 203/0 after 31.2 overs. Looks like a total of 350-360 is in the cards here. To be honest, this time there was hardly any competition for the Australians. They just steamrolled their opponents. India failed to qualify for the semi-finals and it was not surprising for me after years of neglect from the BCCI. Teams like Australia need to win trophies, because the cricket board treats women's cricket as a priority.

@Sithara007 it’s been a one side match so far with Australia women completely dominating the West Indies team, and currently they have scored 305 runs for the loss of 3 wickets, hence I’m too expecting them to score 350 - 375 runs as the end target. Furthermore I believe that West Indies women team will crumble under the pressure of chasing this mammoth score, hence I’m predicting an easy victory for the Australian women team.

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.

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.

So far BCCI policy clearly indicate that Women's cricket is not their priority and treat them as second class citizen.

Having said that recent announcement regarding WIPL suggest that there might be a some hope for the BCCI and their attitude towards Women's cricket in India. This would help these girls tremendously and we'll see drastic improvement in future. I just hope that BCCI go ahead with their plan this time.

Australia Women vs West Indies Women

The first semi-final match of the Women's World Cup is being held now. Australia Women is playing against West Indies Women. And Australia was able to deliver a huge target of 306 runs. Interestingly, Australia scored 305 runs for the loss of just 3 wickets and in just 45 overs. Australia is an experienced team. After giving a target of 306 runs, Australia should win easily.

West Indies collected 67/2 at the end of 17 overs. Their run rate is very low. They need 239 runs in 28 overs to win. The West Indies probably need more than 8.5 runs per over to win. I don't see any chance of West Indies winning now.

Both Australia men and women team are having good time in cricket. Yesterday its there men team who won against Pakistan quite comprehensively while today its there Women team who did same in semis against WI. WI Women made couple of upset in Group stage by beating England and New Zealand to make it to semi finals. Its a good journey for WI Women team in this WC.

In the second ODI Australia are the underdogs according to the bookmakers and if you think Australia will win the match you can place a bet on them .

 When it comes to the World Cup, Australian woman is a really strong team and they are on the way to win the World Cup until there is an upset and the only team that is capable of doing that right now is South African Woman as they have won a few matches chasing down targets. So it is going to an really interesting match.

A great match for the Australian women's team as they absolutely outclass the West Indies women's team in the ODI match.

The Australian team did everything right in that match. They posted a really big total of 305 in 45 overs and the West Indies team was all out for only 148 runs in 37 overs. A great century from Alyssa Healy. And a patient half-century from Rachael. A pretty one-sided match. And this was another hint about how strong the Australian women's team is.

It was expected that australia will outperform other teams in this women world cup as their performces is far better then the other teams in the tornament. However, in the 2nd semi final, england team are on top against the south african team. I am really surprised by the come back by the england team. We can hope the final match between australia and england will be one of the most entertaineing one.

SA after doing so good in initial stage of tournament is about to be eliminated and one of big three aka australia, england and New Zealand will grab the women WC once more. We have to wait for 4 more years to see if any new country can also win this tournament or not. SA need 168 runs in 16 overs with only three wickets in hands.

England women team got a huge victory in the second semi final. The final will be played between Australia and England women team. Australia women team has played very well during the whole world cup. They have won all of the matches. While England women team started with 3 consecutive lose. But they didn't play badly at all. And it is true that the comeback of England women team is really surprising. I believe that the final match will be competitive between them. However, Australia women team will remain favourite in the match.

England women won by 137 runs today, SA has only lost one match in group stage but now they are out. Credit for this victory goes to Danni Wyatt and Sophia Dunkley whose knock help England giving target of 293. Meanwhile in England bowling Sophie Ecclestone took 6 wickets. SA who were favourite for today's match failed to come up to expectations.

England's performance in the first matches on the group stage was also very poor. And it was very challenging for them to be in the first 4 teams of the table. They lost the first 3 matches. They have corrected their mistakes. And won the next 4 matches. They have been able to maintain this continuity. England completely dominated the match against South Africa. The bowlers have been able to perform their duties well. And that's why they got a huge 137 run win against South Africa.

ICC Women's World Cup Final
AustraliaWomen vs England Women


Australia women's team and England women's team have qualified for the Women's World Cup final. The Australian women's team is very strong. And they have not lost a single match of the tournament yet. However, the England women's team is not weak either. Despite losing the first three matches of the group stage, they have dominated and won the next five matches. And so the match in the final will be very competitive. Although the Australian team is the favorite,  But, think both teams have equal chances to win the title.

Pakistan vs Australia Second ODI.

Australia has made another positive start, Travis Head and Ben McDermott  both not out on 59 while Australia total score is 130/1 in 20 overs. Pakistan did same mistake as they did in first ODI of bowling second after winning the toss. Australia will definitely score 300+ runs which won't be easy to chase under lights.

Never understand why they need to bat second after winning the toss especially when they have faced the music in the 1st ODI 

In this 2nd ODI, Pakistan already lost this match as I don't think we have the batting strength to chase down the 350 target. So far both the openers are looking solid but I doubt they can continue with the same pace through the 50 overs.

Choosing the right team is definitely a challenge. After losing three in a row, the England women's team began to receive criticism, but what an amazing turnaround. It looks like they may win the title this year. They need to keep this winning streak going to be a champion or the Australians will win the cup.  ICC Women's ODI World Cup champions England women are defending champions. However, if they are going back to back, they better put full effort into it because the Australians are untouchable so far.

I suppose you are miscalculating the strength of the Pakistan team. How is the score of 214/1 in 31 overs a bad start for the team?
Right now Pakistan teams looking favorite to win this match unless there is any batting collapse by them.
Imam ulhaq made a century and proved wrong to everyone who was pointing fingers on his performance. Babar Azam would like to win this match in order to keep the series alive.

So now you must have idea of why they batted second. Its highest successful run chase by Pakistan in ODI. Pakistan have lost 10 consecutive ODI to Australia. Last time they won ODI against Australia was in 2017. Pakistan proved once again that they are unpredictable.
