ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Sithara007]

In South Asia now there are four women cricket teams even just India is having quality all other three need time for having better quality and experience which is important for competing in International matches so if ICC encouraging them which is good signal from them for Women cricket.

Recently we have news now commonwealth is also allowing women teams for their games as they play against other quality teams this will help them now after WBBL and W100 BCCI announces it's going to start WIPL which is also big plus point which will help local women's for better opportunities even still long way to go, but something happening is better than nothing in this area for this game of cricket.

I still haven't heard much about the details of the WIPL. There was an announcement from the BCCI, and that was it. They provided no additional details, such as the quota on overseas players, salary cap.etc. For the BBL, both the men's and women's competitions take place at the same time (WBBL matches during the day-time, while BBL matches are usually D/N). From what I understand, WIPL will follow a different format with the matches taking place a couple of months before the main tournament (IPL 2023).

As mentioned above - Sri lanka lost all the matches when they toured Pakistan and now again they are losing against India.
Sri Lanka is going through political and economic turmoil - winning matches can bring to the nation a joy which are longing. Hope Sri Lanka will strike back soon. 

There is no doubt win is enjoyable in any condition and with current situation in Sri Lanka they are surely looking for some better news which already happen against Australia in men ODI series they completely outclass then and win series with the score of 3 - 2, but now things are completely different in women's matches because India is quality team in Women section, and they have few very exciting players those are experienced and very strong in skills and quality, so it's not easy for home team Sri Lanka win against them.

In last match India outclass them with 10 wickets which was one off worst results now forget about this lost and try to win against them in next match more important for them.

I am still doubtful about if women’s IPL is going to be played or not. BCCI is already not interested in women's IPL from the start and they also did not share any information except for the only announcement that was made. I still don’t think the BCCI is actually interested in WIPL. I suspect they might actually Not put good enough work for the WIPL and if that eventually does not succeed they are not going to play another WIPL tournament for a long time. My point is I don’t think the point of view of BCCI On the WIPL is positive.

I have to say it was a bad performance by Sri Lanka. India won the match really easily. It was not even a competition for India. And I think this match shows how much improvement has been done in Indian women’s cricket. This should also give an indication data W IPL is possible right now. And through the WIPL a lot of Indian women cricketers are going to come forward. It will be also interesting to see how Indian women have developed their cricketing skills. And is it actually any better than what it was before.

There is reluctance from the part of the BCCI and that is understandable. But at this point, it is not possible for them to delay this tournament any further. They received $6.2 billion from the IPL media rights auction, and they can't now give the excuse that there is a shortage of funds. And also, they made the announcement that the tournament will be held sometime in the first quarter of 2023. If they cancel or postpone the tournament, there will be a lot of criticism. And I am sure that Jay Shah and Sourav Ganguly are not stupid enough to take that route.

@minairia3 why do you feel that BCCI will back out now?, because this is a historic step and they’ll get lots of support from the government and I’m sure that sponsors will definitely be interested in this. Furthermore if they were not interested why would they announce it, hence I’m pretty sure that they have a plan in mind and we’ll soon see more developments regarding women IPL as we head closer to 2023.

[JSRAW]

Now White ball cricket will take over all the attention as WC are coming up. First T-20 and then ODI.

BCCI has announced ODI squad for series (22 NOV) against Windies . Some rotation and experiment is going on every format, be it captaincy, vice captaincy etc. I guess many of em might play their 1st ODI game in this series.

That is a good point because if they delay this tournament further they will have to be held accountable for the money that they received. There will be a lot of criticism if they postpone but BCCI is really good at giving reasons. It is quite easy for them to make up some reason why they will not be doing it and the world will have to accept that. But as you said I also don’t think that they are not so stupid to do something like that.

There could be a reason that they are actually not very interested in arranging a tournament like that and they just did the announcement because they want some money. But the chances of that happening is really low. Because BCCI is a cricket board that always tries to keep its promise. Now obviously the whole amount which was given is not going to be used for the tournament and some amount doesn’t matter how minimal it is obviously gonna go to the pocket of certain people.

Coming back to your question, my reason for saying that BCCI might back out is because we have not heard anything for a long time which ensures that necessary steps are being taken.

India Women vs Sri Lanka Women

The Sri Lankan women's team is now playing their second ODI against the Indian women's team. Sri Lanka lost all their wickets for just 171 runs in the first match. In the second match too, the performance of the Sri Lankan batsmen did not improve. They lost all their wickets in just 173 runs. At the end of 14 overs, the Indian women's team collected 80 runs. They did not lose any wickets. India will easily win this match too.

India won the match between Sri Lanka Women and India Women. It is easy to say that they have won without any kind of Adverse conditions. Sri Lanka's run-scoring total was 173 in 50 overs while India finished the game in 25 overs. No Sri Lankan batsman was able to score 50 runs. Where India Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana has won the match without losing any wicket. This is really a good cricket form India Women.

As mentioned above - Sri lanka lost all the matches when they toured Pakistan and now again they are losing against India.
Sri Lanka is going through political and economic turmoil - winning matches can bring to the nation a joy which are longing. Hope Sri Lanka will strike back soon. 

Maybe it can make a comeback, but as per the present scenario Sri Lanka needs time to build themselves. Because, they are not in a situation to enjoy and make performances. Several things will be running in their mind, just because of the economic collapse in the country.

During the same match the highest target run chase without losing a wicket in women's ODI is recorded. Earlier this record was set by Australian cricketer Joanne Broadbent and Belinda Clark against South Africa chasing 164 runs in the year 1997.

I don’t mind a team like India trying some things out against a team like West Indies. India is multiple levels above of West Indies in any format of cricket. So, it is not going to be a big problem for India to win against West Indies even if they don’t play with their main squad. It is obvious that they are going to try some things out before the World Cup. And the series against West Indies seems to be a good place to try things out for India right now. Cricket is going to get a boost in popularity because of these tournaments in my opinion. Especially if the WIPL takes place it is going to be a revolutionary step in cricket.

The WIPL should have been scheduled long time back. The BCCI delayed it by giving all sort of silly excuses. Their first argument was that not enough women players are available in the country. That is a laughable claim, because there are 38 first class teams in India and all of them have women's teams. Forming 3-4 franchises from the best domestic players will be quite easy. I don't know why the fans are keeping silent about all this BS. I haven't seen much reaction in the social media, regarding the delay on WIPL.

India Women vs Sri Lanka Women Indian women are batting now but they are playing a great game.  India women scored 60 runs in 13 overs.  They lost 1 wicket.  I hope the Indian women will win this match today but we have to see what happens till the end of the game.

Good to see Dhawan getting to captain the Indian side in this tour. By the way the series starts from 22 July and November. It is will not be that easy for the Indian side to play against the WI as all matches will be played in Port of Spain. Home ground advantage cannot be ignored for the WI side. Why did they ignore Umran Malik for this seris is questionable as generally pitches in WI are favourable for fast bowlers like him.

If Sri Lankan Women's team make some effort it could win this match. In 20 overs India women have scored 98 runs losing 4 wickets. Maybe fall of two more wickets could restrict the team's score within 200. Even 200 looks a big score for Sri Lanka Women taking into account their previous match scores of 171 & 173 runs.

Harmanpreet Kaur she has duly fulfilled her duties as the captain of the team. Shafali Verma on the other hand has a good score. In the end she did not complete her half century for just 1 run. However, India's run count has been comparatively much less. In this case, I think Sri Lanka has done well enough. They limited India to 182 runs. Provably Sri Lanka win today's match.

As we all know Selectors are now doing some experiments which are going to be helpful for them in the long run and having three different captains for all formats is also very good because this will give some good help for growing leadership in system and having rotation policy is also impressive because with this we can use some good number of players in all formats and can give rest to main bowlers which will help them for staying fit and having long term play time.

I am feeling they are no ignoring Umran Malik but right now having him only in T-20 format is better and after sometime bringing him to this format could be helpful with this now too many bowling options available so giving chance to all is also having impressive track record for others.

The performance of the Sri Lankan players in today's match was better than the previous two matches. The bowlers bowled well enough. In the previous two matches, they scored 171 and 173 runs respectively. In today's match, they were able to collect 216 runs. Throughout the series we have seen the reign of Indian players. The Sri Lankan women's team is very weak. They need to practice more.

There is no competition between these two teams because Indians are very experienced and having few quality players those can perform in any condition for them and their ranking is also impressive in both formats ODI and T-20. On other hand Sri Lankan women's are looking for some good experience and with this series these women's can learn some good things because win or lost is part of game but good thing they are able to play against quality team and having their lesson.

In first session of this ODI Sri Lankan bowlers done good job and take few early wickets but 7th wicket partnership between captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Pooja Vastrakar bring back India into the match, and they achieve good target which give them clean sweep against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is going through a lot of internal turmoil and that definitely is having a negative impact on the players. But still, the matches are being hosted by Sri Lanka and therefore I expected them to perform better. Just hope that their women's team won't go the same way as the men's team. At this point, they are heavily dependent on Chamari Athapaththu. BTW, Renuka Singh Thakur is emerging as a good find for India in this series. She got a really nice bowling action and troubled the Sri Lankan batters quite frequently.
