ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Bangladesh showing resistance and putting up a fight against the English team, it's not an easy feat as IMO Poms are the best white ball team in the world.
England still might win the match but I believe Bongbros are going to be a tough nut to crack in the ODI WC and if somehow pitches are slow then they might produce some upsets as well.

World 11 team will also find it difficult to win against Bangladesh in Mirpur Stadium. Bangladesh always plays well there in the ODI format. Anyway, Bangladesh would have won the match if the target was above 240 runs. Still they made the game competitive by giving the target of 209 runs only. Dawid Malan deserve the credit for his batting performance. He played slowly, but it was enough for the low target.

[Minecache]

Liton Das lost his wicket early today with just seven runs for which Bangladesh finished the game in tougher conditions. Even though Bangladesh played badly, their run rate was not lower than England.  If Bangladesh could have played the remaining 16 balls, England would have been under a lot of pressure and maybe England would not have beaten Bangladesh today, but because of the loss of every wicket in Bangladesh, England had a huge opportunity to beat Bangladesh and they took advantage of their chances.

Today could have been a winning day for Bangladesh if a few cricketers could have scored a few more runs. Especially those who are expected to do well like Litton Das, Sakib Al Hasan, Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz none of them could reach double figures. Which was really a big disaster for them. However, David Malan, the player of the England team, has to be praised. who returned from injury and played a key role to win against the opposition in Bangladesh. Although the team lost 7 wickets, he remained unbeaten. He gave a glorious innings for the England team.

David Malan was the only player who was able to play decently in this match. Apart from him alone, it was a match of bowlers. Both England and Bangladesh bowlers did very well. But I have to say I was disappointed with the batting performance of Bangladesh.

At certain times it really felt like Bangladesh give their wickets away for nothing. Shanto is often trolled for bad performance. Today he had a good chance of proving everyone wrong by getting a century. He was also looking good to get a century. But then he played a really bad shot. Overall, good performance from David Malan, and congratulations to England.

Bangladesh tried hard to win the match but the target was too low for the fight , if they had made 250 something may be they could have won the match .
England played really good and sensible specially David Malan his century is brilliant.

1st match of ODI series between Bangladesh and England, England cricket team won by 3 wickets against Bangladesh cricket team. Bangladesh team Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, many famous players. But they did not play well in this match. If the batsmen of the Bangladesh team could have played a little better, they would have given England a much bigger target and there would have been a chance of winning the match. England batsman Dawid Malan has performed well. Dawid Malan's century set England on course for victory

I was actually disappointed with the batting performance of senior Bangladesh cricketers I thought Tamim and Shakib Al Hasan Mahmudullah Hasan Mushfiqur Rahim were there and the pitch was Mirpur home ground.  So seeing the opening game, I thought that the run can take 250 plus.
But after ten overs, the situation completely changed as the run rate per over and the strike rate of the batsmen started to decrease gradually and consistently loosing did not allow Bangladesh to go above 210 runs. Although Nazmul Hossain tried with a calm bat and managed to score 58 runs but his strike rate was only 70. England's batsmen, on the other hand, did a complete team work and David Malan scored a brilliant century. If we talk about the reason behind Bangladesh's loss today, I would say weakness in their batting performance. If you look at the chart below, you will understand the reason for their loss.

LOL. That's where they are king but that's not permanent.
You never know what would happen if the target was 240 or above. David Malan was all set and confident. He would be more aggressive if they would be required to chase a bigger score. He played well. You already have realized that I guess. Malan played slowly because the score wasn't high.

I did place a bet for England today and won though it wasn't that easy LOL.

Based on the target the performance from the players will vary. From the beginning of the match the team will make plans accordingly. If I'm not wrong there will be increased pressure, but the runrate will differ and surely the batting team will go for big shots that can bring score as well as loss wickets. Even with 209 runs Bangladesh have given their best, and with the form David Malan would reach any big target.

As of now, Litton Das remains as the backbone of Bangladesh batting. His dismissal early on was a blow for Bangladesh and they never recovered from it. The total of 209 was never going to be enough. But at the same time, credit should be given for the lower order batsmen for chipping in with useful contributions (especially Taskin Ahmed and Taijul Islam). Lots of negatives for both the teams, but more for Bangladesh. They were playing at home, and the pitch was tailor made for their bowlers. And yet they lost the match.

Even with 209 runs Bangladesh have given their best, and with the form David Malan would reach any big target.

Bangladesh's three batsmen, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Afif Hossain were in very bad form yesterday, if these three batsmen had performed a little better then it could be said that the first ODI match would have gone in favor of Bangladesh. From my personal analysis, Bangladesh's Afif Hossain has been in very poor form for quite some time and if he could be replaced by someone else, the batting line would be quite strong for Bangladesh. Moreover, the bowling lines are fine, Bangladesh should arrange the squad with more spinners on the pitch.
Looking at the batting of Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed, it seemed that if David Malan could have batted in a defensive mood tomorrow, Bangladesh could have given a target of more than 250 runs without going all out. But due to the failure of the top order batsmen, they were bowled out for 209 runs and were forced to lose the match.

If Bangladesh were able to give a target like 240, maybe they could have won. Despite being given a target of 210 runs, the way Bangladesh fought back, and made the match competitive, is truly commendable. We don't see good performances from Bangladeshi batsmen. As the pitch was spin friendly. I expected a little better batting from responsible batsmen like Shakib, Afifa and Miraz on this pitch. But these three batsmen cannot play well. Liton Das's performance was also not good. But apart from Dawid Malan, the performance of England's other batsmen was also poor. Even if Bangladesh does not win the series, it will be challenging for England to win this series.

Maybe there are chances,but we can't be sure of it. If the wicket of Dawid Malan have fallen, maybe things could've changed. Because the highest score of 114* runs have come from him. Next is 26 runs from Jacks, 17* runs from Adil and 14 runs from Moeen Ali. Without the contribution from Malan it would've been a losing match for England. Being in the home ground Bangladesh is able to perform even better and the same could be highly challenging for England. For Bangladesh Shanto and Mahmudullah helped in reaching 200+ target.

If Dawid Malan did not play well, England would have been defeated for sure. England was able to win because he was at the crease. Otherwise, they would have lost all the wickets to collect 150 runs. Only one player's responsible batting gave England victory. In this match, I was annoyed by Mustafiz's bowling. Mustafiz's bowling is deteriorating day by day. Taskin has now become a much better bowler than Mustafiz. Mustafiz may have to leave the team soon if he can't change his performance.

England  :  Bangladesh

After some time Bangladesh vs England match is going to start in Mirpur. The home ground of Bangladesh. And the Bangladesh team is always strong in Mirpur. Undoubtedly, today's pitch will be spin-bowling friendly. We have seen earlier that Mirpur's pitch is more supportive of spin bowlers. As a result, batsmen are not able to score big. Bangladesh's squad is good
There are some talented spin bowlers. England should focus on their spin bowlers and batsmen in this match. The outcome of this match will mainly depend on the performance of the batsmen and spin bowlers. Hopefully, we will get a chance to enjoy a competitive match.

Bangladesh is now 33 run and got one wicket I think Liton das will be a big wicket for England. In the beginning, Bangladesh played very well in the first five overs with a run rate above six, but now it seems that their aggressive attitude will gradually decrease. Anyway still there are more  strong batsmen for perform , Shanto ,Sakhib al hasan , Musfikur Rahman and also Mahmudullah.
I think there is no need for Bangladesh to play aggressively now, if they go aggressive towards the last with an average run I think it will be good for them. As the match is taking place at Bangladesh's home ground,and  Bangladesh is always best at their home ground, so I think the chances of Bangladesh winning this match are high.

If Mushfiqur Rahim holds one side and Najmul Hossain Shanto can plays according to the current strike rate then the partnership will be big one. Moreover, Mushfiqur Rahim acts as another dependable symbol in the Bangladesh team. On the other all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is also in good form. Hope Bangladesh team is going to give their best today. If the score reached above 250 on this pitch I think it will be a fighting score.

Najmul Hossain doing good with his bat and run rate was also going good . However, to win, they should not only bat well, although it is still not possible to say how their batting performance is going to be until the last. Because two big wicket is already gone. England is also in good form now and their percentage of winning with Bangladesh is more  and in Mirpur Home ground . So the match is still unpredictable but I will put England ahead in the percentage winning ratio. I am gonna also take England for my betting.

We know that Bangladesh's batting is weak. They tried hard but could not stabilize the batting line-up. There is no reliable batsman on the team. No batsman is consistently playing well. And so we saw Bangladesh's weak batting in the first match as well. If Bangladesh could have collected more than 250 they could have controlled the match. But they collected only 209 runs. It is very difficult to win against England with such a low target. Because every batsman in England is experienced enough. However, England has to rely on Dawid Malan to win this match. Bangladesh could have won the match if Malan's wicket could have been taken.

Very crucial match between United Arab Emirates and Nepal has started now. Both the teams have 7 matches remaining (including this one) in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Out of the 7 matches, 4 matches are between these two teams. UAE is in a slightly better position right now, with 29 points. Nepal is at 28 points. A win today will allow Nepal to overtake UAE. On the other hand, in case the United Arab Emirates wins the match, then they will further widen the lead over Nepal and may end up at the 4th position in points table.

In world cricket Bangladesh team performance is not satisfactory and it is known to all. Prior to their last ODI series win against India, they had a higher number of losses in all the countries they played. The number of reliable players among them is really less. However, they usually play well at their home ground and had a strong bowling line-up in yesterday's match as well. But unfortunately for them their collected score were comparatively less. But if they were able to get the wicket of Dawid Malan early in that match then it was not impossible for them to win.

This match is important for both teams. Both teams will play to win. If they do not win, they cannot be among the first 4 teams in the table. UAE collected 90 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 26 overs. If they score more than 200 runs, UAE has a high chance of winning. But Nepal is in good form now. They have won the last 5 matches. They were also able to beat a strong team like Scotland. And so if UAE fails to give a big target today then the chances of UAE winning this match is low.

In this crucial match united Arab emirates batting lineup is disastrous except Asif Khan whose 72 runs brought his team to 151 runs in 41 overs . 5 wickets already gone and 9 overs left , UAE can give target of maximum 200 runs with the run rate .

The UAE team set a target of 208 runs. And I think it's a good enough collection to win. Rohan Mustafa and Asif Khan batted well. Asif Khan scored 72 runs. And Rohan Mustafa scored an unbeaten 52. UAE will win today if the bowlers do their part properly. And the interesting thing is that the Nepal team lost three wickets in 2.5 overs. And their collection is only 17 runs. UAE will win today if they bowl in a controlled way.

Already Nepal have lost 7 wickets and it looks like an confirmed win for UAE. In one of Nepal's previous match against Scotland lost its 5^th wicket at 61 runs and then reached the target of 213 runs. That was really an unexpected match and this time it looks like no more chance as the batting line-up is no more left. Nepal needs 109 runs in 30 overs with three wickets left.

UAE look better they score 207 in 50 over with a two half centuries which is not a bad performance for team like this, while on the other hand Nepal are completely off color because during chasing only single player of them Kushal Malla score half century no other batter help them while chasing and due to that reason they just score139 before all dismissal, it show that cricket is a team game if you didn't perform like a team then defeat is confirmed. In my view UAE are far better than them from any angle because if they can beat a team like Afghanistan who has world class batter and bowler then Nepal is not a big problem for them to deal

Nepal got all out on 139 runs in 31 overs , although target was very normal 207 runs given by UAE.  But they failed to achieve,  so UAE maintained their position in ICC rankings and improved their points.
