ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

England set a target of 247 runs. As the Indian team was in great form, this match should have been won by them easily. But India's top order has broken down badly today. The first 4 batsmen managed to collect a total of 25 runs. None of the experienced batsmen like Rohit, Shikhar Dhawan, Kohli, and Pant have played well. They lost 6 wickets in 33 overs and scored 136 runs. Jadeja is still at the crease. If Jadeja gets out, it won't take long for India's innings to end. India needs 111 runs from 102 balls to win.

The batting lineup completely collapsed, and they lost this match easily by big margin of 100 runs which is surely big setback for them after having big win just two days back and now suddenly they fall like crap, and it happens just because they bring Kohli who is not surely having his bad impact on Team India as well.

While when we have end of English batting I was surely today Team India is going to do same like they have done in last match because all batting lineup is in good touch but as Rohit Sharma got out on duck we have all things out of hands and other batsmen play like lower club level cricket before start of match England was looking for answers as they faced humiliations, but now it's time for Team India to search replies of these questions from England.

New Zealand  VS Ireland

The third ODI between New Zealand and Ireland is going on now. Despite fielding first in the first two matches, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat in the match. New Zealand's collection is 126/2 in 19 overs. They are scoring over than 6 runs in per over. If this continues, they will be able to give more than 300 targets. Though this is a batting-friendly pitch. So New Zealand will not be able to win if the target is below 300. In previous matches we have seen the extraordinary batting of the Irish players.

Newzealand already scored 316 runs and lost only 5 wickets. They still have 4 overs more and it is possible they might cross the 350 marks. I am surprised we are discussing this match as we all know the result will be not so different. This is just a practice match for them and a real test for the Irish team. I doubt they will be able to chase such a huge score.

Bangladesh played very badly in T20 but did very well in ODI. Bangladesh is very perfect for playing ODIs.I don't think they understand the situation on the field well in T20.We got proof of that in the ODI match.

It seems to me that Bangladesh tends to give a lot more importance to the ODI format than to the test and T20 formats. So, the performance of Bangladesh is also better in the ODI format, compared to any other format.

But, I really think that ability should think about improving in the shorter formats of cricket. The formats will be getting shorter day by day, because that is what the audience wants to see, a good amount of action in a limited amount of time.

There is no doubt Bangladesh performance in last two ODI's is shocking for me and many other fans because they were playing the worst game in last two test matches and then in t20 games but suddenly in ODI they are outclassing host West Indies which is amazing from them with this all now I am feeling they are having some good affair with this format or West Indies is doing some experiment which is giving them these worst defeats in last two matches.

Now all eyes on Bangladesh can they whitewash home team or no because West Indies is having poor form in this format they already lost ODI series against Ireland as well and now losing against Bangladesh is more terrible for them with this they could be out of top eight in qualifiers.

A big comeback from England, not of the win but the way they played. Lost opening order 5 wickets for just 102 runs. Further the team have managed to score 247 runs. This is really good Cricket, because most could've imagined a match similar to the first ODI. When it comes to chasing the target, India wasn't able to find a way. From the very beginning of the match Topley started to shine same as Bumrah changed the first ODI. Anyhow this win have made the third ODI to be more interesting, because it is the final that decides who win the series.

Here in both ODI England top order badly fail to give any solid foundation but both time their lower order were on ride, and they give them some runs which were key for their stay in match specially in second ODI there were no hopes they will touch figure like this 246 as their all top order batsmen were again out cheaply and Ali was again man with his duty but this time Indian batting line up play like crap, and they give this match very cheaply with this win now series is level and third ODI is going to be decider where no England will play fearlessly because this win is going to give them good confidence and surely now India could be under pressure with their crap batting, and they need to bring back S Iyer for this match instead of Kohli.

The brilliant knock of Martin Guptill comes to an end, scored 115 runs! New Zealand's batting performance was almost perfect, as they scored 360 on the scoreboard. It is not something I like to take lightly when it comes to Irish batters. It is possible for some of them to chase this down since they are T20I specialists. Their only problem is a lack of consistency and a lack of a proper plan. I'm looking forward to an exciting contest! So far, only two wickets have been lost.

England vs India 2nd ODI
Congratulations to the England team.Winning today's match is huge for them. India gave a very poor performance in the second ODI match. And in that opportunity, England gave a better win today. England scored 246 runs for 10 wickets in 49 overs to win. And India scored 146 off 38.5 balls. England won by 100 runs.

I didn't think that England will play so much. I thought that England won't win this match.  But what I was thinking was a complete mistake.  I could not have imagined England would play so well.  Anyway, my best wishes to England.

What a turnaround by England in this match. They beat India by 100 runs while in the last match they lost the match by 10 wickets.  This leaves us to the final match which is to be played between these two countries at 17 July in Manchester.
This was one of the worst collapse by the Indian batting team. How strange that Virat Kohli made 16 runs and he was the top scorer in top 4 Indian batsmen.

Yes, Virat Kohli of India is playing a very bad game. Now I think his game is much worse than before. I don't think Virat Kohli will play such a bad game.  If Virat Kohli plays such a game, he will be in a very bad situation.

The credit for the England victory goes to Reece Topley who took 6 wickets and gave only 24 runs in 9.5 overs. The rest of the bowlers also chipped in and collectively it was a good effort by them. I am also looking forward to the final match to be played on Sunday.

Which team do you think is the favorite to win this last match. I think it's difficult to decide before the match, the one who played better on the day will be the winner.

KL Rahul got injured during South Africa series, i guess he had surgery recently and recovering now that's why he's sitting out from this tour.

Damn. He can single-handedly change the results of some of the recent matches. New players aren't performing well further proving that IPL performances don't provide the complete picture.

Which team do you think is the favorite to win this last match. I think it's difficult to decide before the match, the one who played better on the day will be the winner.

Agreed. Both teams are volatile as BTC price these days which is why it's not easy to predict who will win the final. I would bet on India though since they usually bounce back well from big losses.

Ireland needs 43 runs from 30 balls and this seems to be really possible. They have four wickets left and that could be a problem for Ireland. If it was any other team I would have said that they have enough wickets in hand but this is Ireland. We are talking about And That’s why it feels really difficult.

New Zealand  VS Ireland
Ireland are on the brink of victory. Just a few more runs needed and if they can do that then they have nothing to lose here. Ireland have lost two ODIs in a row. Now they need 25 runs off 18 balls. This is a really enjoyable match. Let's see what happens here. Win against New Zealand would naturally be considered a big achievement for Ireland.

New Zealand vs. Ireland
Congratulations New Zealand for gifting such a bone-chilling game. I have never enjoyed a match won by just one run as much as I enjoyed it today.However, this match was enjoyed by the crowd with only 1 run being enough for New Zealand to win.New Zealand 360 for 6 wickets in 50 overs. Ireland played 50 overs losing 9 wickets for 369 runs. New Zealand won by 1 run.

Ireland's win against New Zealand is not easy. Ireland have lost two matches in a row before this and this match was against New Zealand by just one run.New Zealand is a very good team for ODIs.And yes indeed the match was very enjoyable I enjoyed this game very much.

I thought maybe Ireland would win today's match as there were only a few runs to spare but ended up losing by just one run. There will be wounds in the heart of Ireland cricket lovers. But undoubtedly, Iceland played well. Though Ireland didn't win but I think they get success in the match.

Ireland lost two matches by narrow margin, matches where they could have won and the never die attitude of Ireland players was a change because at the start of the tournament i thought New Zealand will have an easy victory but Ireland proved otherwise and even in this chase they needed to get 360 runs and i never thought Ireland would reach anywhere there but they almost reached the total and lost by a single run which will be disappointing for them but they showed their fighting spirit in the series.

For me, this was one of the most entertaining and thrilling series in recent times, and I am feeling great for Ireland how they have done this all even lost all matches and series by margin of 3 - 0 but still this was amazing fight from them in all three matches. In today match this is a new record for losing purpose with two centuries and having the highest partnership but still lost match.

While Paul Stirling and Harry Tector on crease I was sure today they will break record and will give first win to their country in this series but still fail just by one run but still a good win for these both and their country. New Zealand won the first match by 1 wicket with 1 ball remaining. Second match won by 3 wickets and third won by 1 run, amazing result.

England were really splendid in this match. They really took all the revenge of the T20 series from India. Our batting was obviously no where near the class we were having in T20 may be it was just because of the pitches that we were doing so good in the T20 series same couldn't be done im this match as pitch favoured the bowlers.

New Zealand had to fight to win the first two matches. After winning the toss and batting first, New Zealand managed to score 360 ​​runs after losing 6 wickets in 50 overs.After that everyone thought that Ireland would win by playing very well. But they reached a stage where they could not win the match by a single run.Today's match is a real heartbreak for Ireland.

Ireland is very unlucky. Even after scoring 300 runs in the first match, they were defeated. Because they conceded more than 20 runs in the last over. And in today's match too, despite the target being 361, but they were defeated by just 1 run. Although they lost all three matches, their performance in each match was impressive. This team has made tremendous progress. I would say within a few days they will overtake teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

England was badly beaten in the first match of the ODI format. The series is now tied at 1-1. So we can't yet say that England has avenged the bad defeat in the T20 format. We cannot say for sure that England will win the last match. Both teams are strong here. And there is no consistency in the performance of the players of both the teams. And so both teams have equal chances of winning in the last match.

You are right no one thought this match would turn out like this but Ireland would turn out like this I think it's a very bad situation but if they didn't they would have faced a lot of problems

[Sithara007]

Everyone praising the effort of Ireland, but I still need to remind that they need to actually win matches. What matters is the point in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Ireland lose all three matches in the series and got 0 points from 3 matches. Now they have just 68 points from 21 matches. Just three matches remain, and they need two wins to secure direct qualification to the next ODI world cup. It doesn't matter if they lose the match by 1 run or 100 runs. In the end, they need points to advance their position in the Super League.

[GigaBit]

They definitely need points to play in the World Cup. But everyone is praising them for playing a strong team and losing by just one run. Since the game is against New Zealand, regret remains in everyone's mind. Ireland supporters think that if they had played a little better, Ireland would have won the match. We have also seen them play relatively well against England as well. Even if they did not win the match, it is certain that their cricket has improved.
