Third ODI is going on in Sydney between women team of Pakistan and Australia. Australians have scored 336/9 in 50 overs. There is 160 runs partnership between Beth and Meg otherwise there is no noticeable performance from any Australia bats women. It will be very tough to chase such a huge target and that too against Australia.

If you see scoreboard of Indian team in 2st ODI just Shubman Gill scored double century rest of the players were not good rohit and Suryakumar scored in 30's that's it .
So should we say Indian batting was not good .

It is true that India were over-dependent on Gill in that match, but you are forgetting the fact that he is a top order batsman due to which the pressure on other batsmen was low which is why they didn't really need to contribute much.

Same could be said about India's innings tho. For India, the second and third highest scores were 34 and 31 respectively. Kiwis saw 57 and 40 scorelines for the same.

Both teams had a fair chance of winning the match because the pitch was easy to bat on but a majority of batters from both teams didn't apply themselves properly and lost the wickets.  

It isn't a fair comparison. New Zealand lost 6 wickets for 130 something before Bracewell almost saved them while the Indian team were comfortable with low scores thanks to Gill who was hammering the bowlers on the other end.

New Zealand need to improve in all areas asap if they wish to win at least one match in this series.

Just 2 hours and 45 minutes, the second ODI match between India and New Zealand will begin. In the first match, India cricket team defeated New Zealand by 12 runs. India's young cricketer Shubman Gill was selected as Man of the Match in that match. He opened with Rohit Sharma and managed to score 208 runs off 139 balls. His innings of 208 runs included a total of nine sixes and 19 boundaries. All cricket lovers will be expecting him to pick up where he left off that day. Both the teams may go into the field with unchanged squads today. Of course the New Zealand team will want to win this match today to level the series at 1-1 Hopefully today's match will be a very fighting match

In the first ODI, India were able to give a good target of 349 runs because Gill got his first double century otherwise the target could have been different for the Kiwis. Both team have unreliable middle order. In today's match this middle order would be tested. If Bracewell hadn't played well in the first ODI then the Kiwis would have lost by a huge margin. It is the first ever ODI being played in Raipur so not many information about the pitch can be found. That means the team that wins the toss would have an upper edge.

Today India and Newzealand ODI match is going to start shortly.  Newzealand have lost by a few runs in the past but will enter the field with some experience in the current position.  Meanwhile, India's player is strong enough to attack a team like Newzealand.  Last match was lost by just runs but Newzealand can win today's match if they are careful about the wicket.  Newzealand team could not stand in front of India in the past.  But in today's match, Newzealand will have to be careful of the wicket side and if they survive till the last, they will definitely have a chance to win today.

There is 160 runs partnership between Beth and Meg otherwise there is no noticeable performance from any Australia bats women. It will be very tough to chase such a huge target and that too against Australia.

Below are the results of multiple ODI series between Pakistan Women and Australia Women which on analysis shows that out of 16 matches Australia won 16 and Pakistan failed to win any match.  From this it is easy to understand that it will be very difficult for Pakistan to win against Australia no matter where the game is played at the Australian venue or any other venue.  In the last match, Australia women defeated Pakistan women by a huge margin of 101 runs.

After the loss in the first match, I thought New Zealand would make a comeback in the second ODI. But my assumption was wrong. India won the toss and decided to bowl. And their decision was completely correct. New Zealand suffered a nasty batting disaster. Their collection was only 15 runs in 10.3 overs. And they lost 5 wickets. I don't imagine they will face such a bad batting disaster. They lost the first 5 batsmen of the top order. They collected only 33 runs in 15 overs. It looks like they will lose all the wickets within 100 runs.
Indian batsmen are in very good form now. A win against India now seems impossible given the low run target. India will win today's match very easily and win the series.

New Zealand cricket team batted in the first innings in the 2nd ODI match. The New Zealand cricket team has been a batting disaster since the beginning of the game. New Zealand cricket team is very weak after losing five wickets in the beginning of the game. The game of 14 overs is already over. New Zealand cricket team's run rate score (2.41) is in low position. On the other hand, the bowling of the Indian cricket team's bowlers is spectacular. India is performing well in bowling

Glenn Phillips is batting with responsibility. He remains unbeaten with 26 runs off 38 balls. In 25 overs New Zealand batsmen managed to collect 73 runs and they lost 6 wickets. Now Phillips and Santner are batting. Both are quite experienced batsmen. If they build a partnership I guess New Zealand will collect around 170-180. Otherwise New Zealand's innings will stop between 120-130. Indian bowlers are bowling very well today. Mohammad Swami in particular bowled well. He managed to pick up three wickets with 18 runs in 6 overs.

Very bad start from Newzealand,  lost all important wickets in early overs . Now Glenn Phillips is batting and stayed long on pitch , 6 wickets gone 90 runs and 27 overs played .
This is some bad performance by Newzealand and good one from Indian balling side .

^^ After a competitive first ODI, New Zealand batting failed completely as they lost their 8th wicket for just 103 runs. Did not expect such a one sided match and the Indian fast bowlers were tearing the batsman and if the pitch gives the same returns when India comes to bat and if they are able to pick some early wickets then the match can be dragged for a little longer.

[pakhitheboss]

Extremely disappointed with the performance of Newzealand batters. Indian bowlers were in attack mode from the beginning of the powerplay. Mohammad Shami taking the lead followed by Hardik and Shiraz. Pacers have been getting more wickets than the spinners it seems. Another dominating series by the Indian team. 109 is an easy target to chase which will also ensure the win of this series.

108 all out , what a disastrous performance by Newzealand  no one stayed on crease . Indian balling was excellent today  they attacked perfectly and as a result they didn't let Kiwis stay on pitch .
A very small target to chase , this is Indians win today.

[JSRAW]

A little bit of movement and voila.....

On second thought, these nice kiwis keep going down in bilateral and making our team overconfident. The very same team will kick out the Indian team in the semis or finals lol

For once I want to see this kind of performance in knockouts

The second ODI will take place tomorrow, at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. I don't know much about this venue, but I guess it is just another India track which provides zero support for the bowlers. Morale will be high for both the teams - India after their win in the first ODI, and New Zealand after their incredible fightback with Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner. And toss will once agai have a big impact, with the team winning the toss very likely to electing to bat first under batsmen friendly conditions.

In this series of 3 ODI matches India is leading by 1-0. Both teams are strong and will play the second match tomorrow. New Zealand will try to its best to win that match because they will try to make the series by 1-1 and the third match will be the final. If India wins than the series will go in favor or India team.

India 1 and New Zealand 0, New Zealand's chances of winning is slightly higher in this aspect. The next game could be more difficult for both of the team. Whatever the number of winnings in the series. The competition between such good teams always at the highest level. India has performed brilliantly so far. In the previous series Sri Lanka was defeated by far distacne. In this series New Zealand have no chance but to win the next match to save the series. Will they be able to snatch victory from India?

Yes it is quite clear that New Zealand cricket team, to win this series New Zealand cricket team against Indian cricket team, need to win two matches in a row. On the other hand, one more match is enough for the Indian cricket team to win the series. Because India has won the first match against New Zealand and is ahead. But all in all, it is assumed that the upcoming matches are going to be tougher and tougher

Indian team bowlers have shown great skill. They managed to take wickets of the New Zealand batsmen. New Zealand batsmen have not been able to give a big target as 50 overs. India is expected to win this match easily.

Many did not think that New Zealand would be able to give a target of such low runs. This short run is not enough to defeat India, the Indian team is currently performing brilliantly. I am very sure that India will win this match.

[teosanru]

Nothing much to say about the match today New Zealand top order and middle order both struggled in previous match too and they did in this as well. This time it was a big collapse instead and no one could save them. I think it's an fairly easy chance that India might make a clean sweep here and you'll then see India on top of icv odi rankings soon as well.

New Zealand batsmen have really performed very poorly in this match. It is never possible to beat a team like India on this small run target, where India is currently performing very well. India's bowlers have performed exceptionally well in the match. In view of which India secured a nice victory.

Tom Latham express they have failed miserably today. They did not get results in what they did whereas India was successful in all aspects. New Zealand did not get a good start. It was said that if the top order fails then it will be very difficult for them to win the match. That is happened in today's match. No one could have expected such a way New Zealand's collapse in international matches. Everyone knows that it is rare in their cricket. But i have to praise  I can definitely praise India for today's match. A continuation of India's excellent performances will take them to the top of the ODI rankings.

This team is pretty new and they don't have a lot of veteran players in thier squad. Obviously not much to expect from them as only some of them would be part of the playing 11 in the world cup. What I am excited though is that the Indian batters like Rohit, Kohli & Rahul are getting confidence that they need to perform in the world cup.
