ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[justdimin]

In my personal opinion, I think ICC is obviously going to want India versus Pakistan matches a lot more. Because these matches bring ICC the most amount of money. So, I think ICC is going to want to see India versus Pakistan match in the Asia cup as well as in the world cup.

But with the recent statement that India has made, it seems hard to see an India versus Pakistan match in the Asia cup. However, I think India is actually not going to do something like that. I believe India is going to play in the Asia cup even though it is going to be played in Pakistan.

Simply here situation is not going to change with the wish of ICC because here things are completely different and no one want to talk on table; mostly here decisions are taking by politicians on big gatherings  for their own vote bank which is more important than ICC and per their wishes.

No doubt, with the matches between India and Pakistan ICC is getting record earning and these two countries can also make good profit from this all but sadly things are not favourable for this all, and we have to miss out this all for long time even many wants this never happen in near future just because of this they are trying their best for changing venue from Pakistan to any other neutral place and also wants to Pakistan boycott the next world cup because it's all about politics and not for the sports.

I will also agree with you a lot because India will be the host of ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and currently India is leading in numbers and I also think that they are going to be the most favorite team in the upcoming World Cup .
But I think other South Asian teams can also take the benefit of playing in India because the weather conditions are almost same. Especially for India, Babar Azam's team Pakistan could be a strong competitor in the upcoming World Cup

Last year we have T20 WC in Australia and now we have ODI WC in India. ICC should stick with few World cup events else it will lose its charm. Pakistan participation in ODI world cup is linked with Indian participation in Asia cup to be hosted by Pakistan before World cup. I don't think India will come to Pakistan and it will be interesting to see what decision Pakistan will make.

I don't thing so that India will visit for this upcoming ODI Asia Cup in Pakistan, due to bad relationship of them with each other. I am also confirmed that Pakistan will not visit this upcoming ODI world cup which will be held in India from same reason. Hopefully both Asia Cup and ICC World cup will be played on neutral venue like UAE, because both team will be agree to face each other in neutral venue rather than visiting each other country

The World Cup is the biggest event in cricket. If India does not agree to play in Pakistan for the Asia Cup then Pakistan will do the same for the world cup. If no country doesn't play then negative impact will fall on cricket. I think two president of the cricket should solve this issue as soon as possible, otherwise World Cup and the Asia Cup may be face various questions. ICC must consider these issues before incurring big losses.

Both countries should keep their political drama aside from the cricket game. Cricket is for entertainment and representing the country in front of the world. We know that they have political issues. But, both countries tried to counter, while Pakistan said they would visit India if India visited Pakistan. The world cup and Asia cup are both world-class tournaments. There are only a few teams participating in the world cup. It's not big like football. Suppose any team left the world cup. It won't be suitable for cricket lovers.

Yes you are right this will put many questions on ICC. ICC should resolve the issues as soon as possible. India should agree to play in Pakistan or ICC should revise some rules for that or should fine those boards which will not agree to play in any country. This is my opinion others may disagree.

India have started well performance towards the World Cup. Virat Kohli has also regained his old form. He has been a reliable player for ODI cricket in the Indian national team. All in all, India will be leading country and be champion in the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup.

India's performance has started to improve since the last World Cup. And now the Indian team is performing very well in any format. Batting and bowling are no weakness for them now. However, if the batsmen lose form, the Indian team will be in trouble again. Indian batsmen are in very good form now. The top order players are batting very well. As a result, India won the last two series very easily.

The Indian team is already been very good and they always have the greatest batsman and bowlers who play well and win the matches and series for the Indian nation.

Yes the good and bad patch comes with every team , the up and downs are the part of the game but overall if you see the Indian team is one of the best team in world cricket. If you analysis the Indian team have produced the world's best batsmen and bowlers over the last two decades.

[ZAINmalik75]

I think the same. If Bumrah is fit and picks up form before the world cup there is definitely no one who can stop us from taking the world cup. Playing in Indian conditions is heavenly for our players. Also the team this year has a lot of odi matches to play before the world cup itself so, there will be a lot of trial and testing to find the best combination. And even as of now 8-9 months before the cup i feel we have almost the winning combination just 3-4 spots need to be finalized.

I will also agree with you a lot because India will be the host of ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and currently India is leading in numbers and I also think that they are going to be the most favorite team in the upcoming World Cup .

Yeh absolutely I am agree with you because due to recent performance India are well prepared for any ODI format competition and that the reason they are favorite for them. and absolutely the Pakistan has a edge than any other due to same weather condition but Same time Pakistan has no experience on indian ground, because they had play a bilateral series'on Thier home ground long time ago and also Pakistani didn't participate in IPL long time ago, so we can't predict anything but due to performance of Baber Azam in ODI is phenomenal so we can expect that he can be the performer no doubt.

[pakhitheboss]

The Indian team's performance in a bilateral series played on the home ground has been an exception as they have not lost one since 2015. That does not mean they have won all ICC tournaments since 2015. We all know India's bad has played post-2011 in most ICC tournaments.



I know this team is doing well at the moment but, when they play in a tournament they break up as a team and most players start working on their individual performance starting with the veterans who are still in the playing 11.

Congratulation to KL Rahul who got married to Athiya Shetty today! Another cricketer who has been struggling for quite some time now. Still, he would get a berth in the playing 11 for all formats and now would have a big PR team ensuring he becomes a legend on social media and mainstream media.

[coinerer]

Zimbabwe vs Ireland 3rd ODI match started today at Harare Sports Club, Harare. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat. Scored 49 runs in 12 overs. Zimbabwe lost 1 wicket so far. Zimbabwe batsman Chamu Chibhabha was dismissed for 16 off 28 balls.  Done. If Zimbabwe can play the complete over in this way then they can score like 250 runs.

Yes Zimbabwe can score 250 runs if they play full 50 overs but 250 runs is not a big score in an ODI match. But it is not possible to do more for Zimbabwe.  But Ireland will overcome this score.  In the 2nd match too, Ireland scored 294 runs but Zimbabwe lost all wickets for 248 runs. But in today's match, Zimbabwe batted first.  Let's see how many runs they can give the target

Currently, India is a great ODI team. I believe that India is a great contender for the one day international world cup coming up this year. But I believe that India still has a few problems to fix. Like they need to stop causing problems with Pakistan. And I think the captaincy position is also something that might need fixing. Other than that India is certainly one of the favorites to win the world cup this year.

Also, congratulations to KL Rahul as well. But if we talk about cricket, I think he is someone who has been getting a lot of chances, and now it is high time that he proves that he's worth it.

Now finally India and Pakistan is coming face to face on 4th of February over this Asia Cup issue and that meeting is extremely important for future of cricket in both countries and ICC too. Let's see what will be the result, hoping it to be a positive one for cricket fans and both countries future relations.

Most teams seem to perform well at their home ground.  If you see Australia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Pakistan they are also ahead in winning ratio at their home ground. But to be honest, India is currently the most favorite team in the ODI format.  Their batting line-up is excellent, their young stars have been performing very well recently and they have also improved in bowling. And the ICC World Cup is at their home ground, so they will have extra benefits.  Hopefully, good things are in store for India in this year's ICC ODI World Cup.

LOL.. last time India won the ICC world cup was more than a decade ago, when Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain. 12 years have passed and despite dominating weaker teams in flat tracks, Kohli's baboons have failed to achieve anywhere near what MSD did. And I am damn sure that as long as the woke brigade remains on top (Kohli, Rohit, Hardick.etc), India will never win another major ICC event. MSD was graceful and modest. Kohli and his monkeys are exact opposite. Unless someone from the younger generation such as Shreyas Iyer or Rishabh Pant becomes the captain, I don't think that India will ever win another world cup.

Yes you are right. India needs many changes. And I think they should go through the whole country and should select more best players and should give them chance or select them on regional basis trial matches. Because the older players are not giving that progress much. India's team needs many changes which should be applied before ICC world cup.

India VS Newzealand

The last and final ODI between these two teams will be played today. Already India has won the series and they would try to win the last one too for a complete whitewash. Newzealand on the other hand would try to avoid a complete whitewash. They have been struggling with their batting and I hope today they do not do the same mistake that they did in the previous games. I hope Rohit & team management gives a chance to these three players in today's game, Rajat Patidar, Shahbaz Ahmed & Srikar Bharat.

IMO, the captain needs to be changed first. Kohli was unable to win any world cup, and I don't think that Rohit is any better. And worse still, they are intervening in the selection process and forcing the selectors to pick players who are close to them. When Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain, I didn't liked him that much. But nowadays I am realizing how good he was back then. There was never any allegation of nepotism or bias being made against MSD. He always picked players based on merit and nothing else mattered.

It's true that a long decade ago that India won the world cup, but now due to recent performance of entire India team is just like they will repeating Thier history In this world cup due to favorite weather condition as well as much experience of pitch due to playing too matches in IPL on same pitches. While Kohli is the one who put India in top of every  competition list after Sachin , also hardit do too much but Rohit is quite worrying. So main point is that giving chance of captaincy to younger will be good option but removing such kind of Legendary player like Hardik and Kohli will not be good in favor of india

@pakhittheboss it seems that team India doesn’t wishes to experiment too much, because they have named a very strong lineup instead of giving the player’s on the bench a chance to get some valuable experience. Furthermore all three player’s mentioned by you are on the bench, and seeing team India’s lineup I feel that we can expect another defeat for New Zealand.

What is the point of selecting these players and not allowing them to play? This is the same mistake Rohit Sharma did in the T20 world cup. He does not want to experiment at all. India has already won this series these poor guys could have been given a chance today. They could have been replaced by Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan and Surya Kumar Yadav. There is no point in selecting new guys as the Indian captain does not have confidence in them. 

[Vaskiy]

New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl. India have begun the innings, and not much of change in the Indian squad. Everyone believed that India will play with new squad as they have already won the ODI series. Holkar venue is a lucky ground for India, as they've won every ODI played in this ground. New Zealand will try to restrict India within 250 runs which increase the winning probability for New Zealand.
