ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Both the teams have given the best. This is how West Indies give unexpected performance. The unlucky part, Shepherd and Hosein in the crease and unable to win the match. Why I say this? As the score is high there is pressure to maintain the required run rate. Failing at any over will make the team go for big shots in the falling over. In the last over 15 runs required, but they were able to score 11 runs. Other than the first ball, every ball has runs.

I was very surprised by the result of the South Africa vs England match. England set a target of 202 runs in 29 overs. No batsman could last long at the crease. However, the performance of the South African players was weaker. Although they managed to collect 333 runs in the first match, today they lost all wickets for just 83 runs. The first 4 batsmen of the top order collected only 5 runs. The series is now tied at 1-1. The series win will depend on the result of the last match.

India is very lucky. Otherwise, they could not have won this match. Their run rate was very good at the beginning of the match, that's why they were able to give a big target like 309. On the other hand, West Indies batsmen batting was slow from the beginning of the innings. They managed only 103 runs in 20 overs. This is how the West Indies gradually fell behind. And in the end, they were defeated by just 3 runs.

Streaming match on FANCODE app is really smooth and turning out to be nice experience. Way better than than Hotstar, guess these streams are on 50-60 FPS.

Anyway Windies looking good against this inexperienced bowling line up. Indian are looking quite flat tbh. Windies just need 64 runs in 40 balls, shouldn't be tough in modern cricket, just 1 big over and it's done.

Yes... Fancode has quality streams. They always have at least 4-5 live matches going on. I normally ignore matches involving "national" teams comprised entirely of foreigners, but domestic matches such as Pondicherry T20 league and Shpageeza Cricket Lague are interesting. And their fee is comparable with other streaming platforms such as Hotstar and Amazin Prime. But the catch is that they don't have anything other than sports. So Fancode maybe preferred only by hardcore sports fans (especially cricket fans).

India has really presented a very beautiful game.  I had a lot of fun watching the game.  But Shikhar Dhawan scored 97 runs off 99 balls.  If he could score 3 more runs, he would have scored a century.  I am very disappointed that he did not score a century.  But I hope all Indian players will play very well in future.

Best part is there is no ads there, watched only last 3-4 overs and it was weird experience to watch Indian fixtures with no ads breaks, kinda refreshing and almost felt like SKY coverage so 600-700rs for a year is not bad deal at all. Tbh i won't mind paying even 5000-6000 inr yearly for ad free + 50 FPS stream for Indian international fixtures +IPL + Ashes but it should be on single platform.

Jio TV also streams cricket without a single advertisement. The catch here is that they will stream only matches that are played in India or being played against India. The service is absolutely free if you are Jio prime member. I am not sure how many of you have tried it. They are far better than hotstar when it comes to IPL that is for sure.

Match is stuck at a very important junction here. With 4 overs left 47 runs to score. If this would have been any other team I would have said chances are slim for the batting side. But it's west Indies and slog batting is their strength, this is their main area so chances of them taking away this match looks slightly higher to me than India taking this. Only way is to take one wicket here and then only We'll be able to take away this match.

The odds were moving rapidly in the final few overs and Shikhar Dhawan kept his cool in picking the right bowlers and Mohammed Siraj bowled really well even though he conceded runs majority were edges to the boundary. It was a nerve biting match as i did not expect the match to be this close considering how badly they performed against Bangladesh not to far ago. If Nicholas Pooran stayed at the crease for some more time, they would have changed the situation.
It is better to place live bets in this series.

Man what a match it was ended with India winning just be 4 runs at once i thought this will be a cakewalk to win for India. But it eventually ended up being a very interesting match. West Indies clearly indicating that this series will not be a one sided one, if India gets defeated they will definitely regret sending the A-team for this tour instead of the first choice team.

Really? I thought the matches being streamed by star can't be streamed anywhere else infact all the star channels don't even come on Jio tv this series might be coming because star doesn't has the right for this series.

I do use Jio TV on laptop sometimes, catched some recent action of Pak vs SL test and couple of other tests too. In my limited experience they do take ad break from time to time, sometimes after 2-3 overs and sometimes according to usual ads slot which is after every over.

Okay guys if you peeps are using JIO tv on your phones and want to access JIO on your pc or laptop then i would suggest you to try this (some might already know this).

Download Bluestacks Android Emulator and download JIO TV app, after this sync your existing jio number. Pretty smooth experience on lappy with excellent quality (Yet to try on Smart TV).

Shikhar Dhawan batted very responsibly. Shibman Gill batted aggressively, but Shikhar Dhawan scored very slowly. If India's middle-order batsmen could have played better, the match would have been more enjoyable. And India could have given more than 350 targets. In the last 10 overs, we expect an aggressive performance from the batsmen. But the Indian batsmen managed to collect only 58 runs in the last 10 overs.

Never tried Jio TV, although I have a Jio mobile connection, till now I haven't taken the Jio Prime subscription. Is it worth the money spent? At this point, I am having subscription for Amazon Prime, Fancode, Sony LIV and Disney+Hotstar. Here in India new online streaming platforms are mushrooming really quick, and right now there are dozens of them available, including ZEE5, ALTBalaji and Voot. It is really difficult to make choice out of them. I took the SONY Liv subscription while the Olympics was going on.

There are other things to watch too apart from sports and most of them are absolutely free. So, it is a mix of everything like news, TV shows, movies and others. They do also stream other sports league matches. At the moment they are also streaming ISL if you love watching football. Yes, there are too many online streaming platforms in India now and it is hard to decide which one to choose. I took Disney+Hotstar for IPL but later found about Jio TV so cancelled the subscription.

Jio TV app comes free when you take any jio sim card, you can watch jio tv on phone, laptop, PC, smart tv freely without any cost (check my previous post). You don't even have to recharge your phone to use Jio tv or there is no need to subscribe to Jip prime plans, just download the app simply and use it.

India's two openers Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan are batting superbly. India did not lose any wicket even in 12 overs. And they managed to collect 87 runs. Shikhar Dhawan scored 33 runs off 36 balls and Shubman Gill scored 50 runs off 36 balls. If West Indies fails to take 2/3 of India's wickets before 20 overs then India will set a target of more than 350 in this match.

Shikhar Dhawan wanted to get a century with out any pressure but he didn't do it. I must say he batted responsibly. He is one of the reliable batsmen in team. But the match was at the heart of the excitement towards the end. Especially in West Indies cricket they can get this kind of victory. West Indies need 15 runs in last 6 balls, they finally managed to score 11 runs and lost the match. But Siraj in this case bowling very intelligently in the last delivery where West indies managed to take 1 run.

OK.. in that case I can try this app. Already have a Jio SIM with me, so it is not going to cost anything. But installing this app in laptop is a bit tricky. Since it is available only for Android and iOS, I need to first install Bluestacks Android Emulator in my PC. Anyway, first let me try in my mobile. Even if the matches are freely available, I don't want to cancel Amazon Prime, Hotstar or Sony Liv, because I have got used to them. Sony quality is really good, and PrimeVideo is free for those who have Amazon Prime membership.

On 97 out, Shikhar Dhawan is unfortunate! Despite playing well, he did not score a century. It was thrilling to watch India win the first ODI in a last-over thriller. While Nicholas Pooran's team was nearly able to chase down 309, Siraj bowled very intelligently in this case. Unfortunately, WI wasn't able to make it to the end. The team fought well until the very last ball. West Indies also suffered from dropped catches and misfielding.

The first ODI was a lucky excape for India. At one point I was in the impression that WI will easily win the match. Disappointed with the performance of Shubam Gill. He should have not taken his game casually. He started well but ended up only scoring 64 runs because of his casual running between the wickets. Shikhar Dhavan was unlucky yesterday I guess missing out on his century.

I think Shikhar Dhawan is a very good player.  He sometimes plays the game with a very cool head but Shikhar Dhawan does not play with a hot head.  I hope Shikhar Dhawan will give better performance.  If he plays well, I am interested to watch India play.  And if Shikhar Dhawan plays badly, I don't want to watch the game.

That is true. I expected Windies to lose, but I never thought that they would come so close and lose. Romero gave it everything at the end, but couldn't help his team cross the finish line sadly.

If he plays well, I am interested to watch India play.  And if Shikhar Dhawan plays badly, I don't want to watch the game.

You don't watch the Indian team play whenever Dhawan underperforms? Seriously? I guess you are his hardcore fan or something.
