Bangladesh vs. WI

WI will bat first following the first ODI between WI and BAN. There will be 41 overs played due to rain interrupting the game initially. Due to their good history in ODI format, they are hoping to win this series after losing both Tests and T20Is. Let's hope it won't be an easy win for either team.

Bangladesh choose the field after winning the toss. Shai Hope was bowled by Mustafizur Rahman on very first ball he faced. Its very hard to predict anything so early but seeing the performance of Bangladesh in test and T20I its very evident that Bangladesh will lose that too.

Looking at the Tests and T20 series, you can never guess that Bangladesh will play badly in ODIs. I think Bangladesh will play much better in the ODI series against West Indies and will win.  The game was given up in 41 overs due to rain. Where West Indies lost 9 wickets and scored 149 runs.  Winning by 149 runs will not be too complicated for Bangladesh. With a little attention, they will be able to win the first match of today's ODI

In ODI Bangladesh have managed to make a good start, but we don't know how far this gets continued. West Indies have played really bad and here the weather seems to be a reason. West Indies have turned to depend on specific players and if they didn't perform then the match is getting out of hands. A big relief for Bangladesh to experience a win.

I too predicted that Bangladesh will lost this first ODI based on there test and T20I performance but they proved me wrong. Good bowling from Shoriful Islam and Hasan mirza that restricted WI to 149 runs and Bangladeshi batsmen this time played sensibly which is a positive thing.

Bangladesh is always good in ODI format. And their bowling in yesterday’s match surprised me. With just 149 runs, they were able to take all the wickets in the West Indies. However, the batting of Bangladesh players was not good. Since the target was very low, Bangladeshi players should have batted more responsibly. But Bangladesh lost 4 wickets. But I think Bangladesh will win the ODI series.

Bangladesh is not good in any format. They won yesterday odi doesn't make them a good odi side. The problem is not in Bangladeshi bowling its there batting that always struggle. They won yesterday game just because there batsmen played with responsibility. Najmul Hossain Shanto , Tamim and Mahmudullah showed responsibility.

I watched the match of Ireland vs New Zealand. Ireland's boys have played tremendously. Yet they have been unfortunately defeated. I would say it was due to inexperience. If the Irish players were experienced they could have won this match. Ireland gave a huge target of 301 runs. New Zealand won by scoring 24 runs in the last over. Hopefully Ireland will play better in the next match and beat New Zealand.

Thanks for highlighting that match also. Newzealand won the match just by one wicket and one hall to spare, that clearly tells the story that how well Ireland played yesterday. From Ireland side Harry Tector and campher were two batman due to which Ireland scored 300 runs. It's Michael Bracewell 127 runs innings that saved the match for Newzealand.

I think a big weakness of Bangladesh is that they can't take much pressure. And their batting site cannot be relied upon. Although the bowling is relatively good, their defeat in batting is inevitable in most of the matches. If they can strengthen their batting then their position can rise much higher in all formats.

Actually, Bangladesh is a team that whenever they play against opponents that are relatively weaker or at the same level as them, it feels like they are playing really well. But whenever they are playing against bigger teams they really don’t look like playing well at all. I think lack of confidence is a big factor here. Bangladesh has a lot of capable players but the main problem in Bangladesh is that they are not consistent performers. And it is true that Bangladesh is better in the ODI format compared to the other formats of cricket. So, for me, Bangladesh winning against West Indies in ODI match is not a big surprise at all.

And undoubtedly New Zealand will win all the matches. The Irish team is not strong. There are no experienced players in the team. But there are some talented batsmen in Ireland. So New Zealand's bowlers must play well. Only then will New Zealand be able to dominate and win all the matches.

I was having the same thoughts but when Ireland started to pile up runs in the final few overs i knew it is going to be a good match but then what surprised me is that Ireland was able to pick wickets at the top order and New Zealand was struggling as they already lost their 7th wicket chasing a huge target of 301 runs and with 3 wickets left, i would be surprised if New Zealand can win the match from this situation  .

Edit:
Michael Bracewell played the game single handedly and took the game away from Ireland, one hell of an innings.

Surely this was one of best ODI in recent time with team like doing 300 runs against New Zealand has never been easy but still they have done good job with the help of 113 from Harry Tector a very good target was set for them but still Kiwis can do things when they want to do so in last over they needed 20 runs and Michael Bracewell achieve target for his team what an inning and what a match for this youngster which came t number 7 and done 127 on 82 balls surely a memorable inning for him and big achievement for his team.

Michael Bracewell is from a well famous cricketing family in New Zealand and at the age of 31 playing his fourth ODI he has done a magical inning, hopefully this can turn his fortune for any franchise league.

Suddenly with the one win peoples changing their views about Bangladesh, but they are ignoring yesterday we have some rain before start of the match and then toss was won by Bangladesh captain having some good impact on this which give them early success with West Indian team was overconfidence after winning test matches and T-20, but they completely lost their all success in this ODI where just 149 runs was not enough for Bangladesh, so they achieve this target with the lost of 5 wickets but still need good work to done because they need to improve their batting which is weak point and giving them the worst defeats in recent matches.

Have you checked the recent ODI matches history of Bangladesh? You wouldn't say that if you have seen it. Bangladesh is quite strong in ODI format. They have the ability to win against any team in ODI. But they are weak in test and T20 format. Bangladesh is at the second position in the ‘ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League’ point table. However, this ODI series matches won't be considered for the point table. But Bangladesh has shown their ability yesterday. Don't be surprised if Bangladesh win the next two ODI matches too.

Bangladesh is a very strong team in ODI format. They are especially scary at home for any opponent. Bangladesh players have the ability to beat any team in the home match. The Bangladesh squad also has experienced players like Shakib, Tamim and Mushfiqur. Those who perform very well in the ODI format. As long as the senior players of Bangladesh do not retire, the Bangladesh team will continue to perform well in the ODI format.

New Zealand won only for Michael Bracewell's great performance. Apart from Guptil and Bracewell, I did not like the performance of any other player in the team. Bracewll played a great innings of 127 off 82 balls. At the same time I would say that the fate of Ireland is very bad. The entire match was dominated by the Irish players but they could not win.

New Zealand is having few very exciting players but still falling behind in test matches and now ODI's is wired performance from them their bowling department is still one of best in cricketing world and with this they have few very exciting batsmen those can change matches very frequently, but recently they all are going down after winning WTC last year against India now they are at bottom of league table and now having trouble in ODI as well which is giving some wrong signal about their mental strength hopefully they will settle things before T20 world cup otherwise they are going down and out very badly which is never been good for any team.

Ireland's Simi Singh dropped an easy chance of Bracewell, and that cost them the match. In international cricket, you can't drop such chances. Ireland is proving again and again that they are not fit for top tier cricket. If they can't win at home, and that too against a below strength New Zealand squad, then how they are going to perform against top sides in hostile conditions? Ireland fielding needs to improve. At least in the case of the first ODI, dropped catches (there were 2-3 of them) proved to be very expensive.

England vs India

The first ODI match between England and India will be played today. I am so excited to enjoy this match. Because in the Test format we have seen the extraordinary performance of England. But they played badly in the T20, as important players like Bairstow and Stokes were not present in the squad. But players like Root, Bairstow and Stokes will perform in ODI format. And so it will be more difficult for India to win the ODI match now. But I am worried enough that, will Kohli get a chance to be in the squad for this match?

Ireland vs New Zealand
The game has begun. Ireland is batting now. Ireland took 2 wickets at the beginning of the game. Paul Stirling 4 says he is out by 0.  Andrew Balbirnie, however, has scored 2 runs off 12 balls.

IND chose to bowl first in the first ODI between England and India. Kohli drops this match! It has been a year since Root, Stokes, and Bairstow last played in an ODI. It has been a long time since England had a better batting line-up than they have today. Bumrah and Shami have a good pace bowling attack, so we're excited to see them in this ODI series. They strike early, resulting in the loss of four quick wickets for Eng. It's a struggle situation for Eng..

@onecall123 Bumrah has ripped apart the England batting lineup, and now it’s up to Buttler to play a heroic innings otherwise England will suffer an humiliating defeat. Furthermore Kohli misses out due to an injury and I feel that’s it’s a blessing in disguise for him as he’s going through a lean patch, but I’m also hoping that he’s back for the second ODI.
