South Afica vs West Indies

I am enjoying the West Indies vs South Africa match now. The performance of the West Indies batsmen was quite good. And they scored 335 runs. Although the pitch is flat pitch. 335 runs on this pitch cannot be said to be too difficult. However, West Indies had a chance of winning if they could do controlled bowling.
The performance of the West Indies bowlers is very poor. After 24 overs, South Africa managed to collect 182 runs, they lost only two wickets. Africa needs 156 runs in 24 overs to win. So far, Africa's chances of victory seem high.

Bangladesh won the first ODI match against Ireland by a huge margin. Bangladesh cricket team batted in the first innings and gave Ireland a target of 339 runs. The Ireland cricket team went into bat in the second innings and collected 155 runs for the loss of all wickets in 30.5 overs. The bowling lineup of Bangladesh cricket team was very strong. Bangladesh cricket team bowlers managed to chase Ireland off the field in 30.5 overs. Bangladesh cricket team is playing much better now than before. I hope Bangladesh will give better game in future too

Okay, i might be a bit biased when it comes to Shakib but I seriously don't understand how come Towhid Hridoy got the man of the match award.

Shakib scored 93 runs with the ST of 104-ish and picked up 1 wicket, on the other hand, Towhid Hridoy scored 92 runs with an SR of 108. Hardly a big difference in SR IMO.

And considering Shakib all round role in this win, i believe he was the suitable candidate unless they wanted to hand out an award to the debutant.

After having first washed out things were looking good for the visitors first time in this series because West Indies after winning toss elected bat first and have very good target on board with Shai Hope is the best batsman for this format as he scored big hundred even no other batsman able to give him company he single-handedly plays and have few small partnerships now South Africa is chasing this target which was looking good in start but captain Bavuma leading from front 92 on 86 balls with now we are in 27 over 190/3 mean all set for the home side to take lead in this series after winning test series by 2 - 0.

West Indies having good batting in this match but sadly now their bowling is completely useless and not able to handle this all with this all now South Africa need 131 runs from 21 overs.

This kind of performance of the Bangladesh team at home is not new. Bangladesh did not win the ODI series against England due to batting disaster. But today Bangladesh managed to make a big score against Ireland. Bangladesh set a big target of 338 runs. Where almost everyone contributes less and more. Especially Shakib Al Hasan and Towhid Hridoy both scored above 90. In this match, Bangladesh won by 183 runs. Maybe Bangladesh will win this series very easily.

And considering Shakib all round role in this win, i believe he was the suitable candidate unless they wanted to hand out an award to the debutant.

Just because Hridoy is debutant in ODI for Bangladesh the man of the match is being awarded to him. He have got good track record in BPL and with this he have made the record of debutant to score the highest run. Earlier it was during the year 2011, Nasir Hossain scored 63 runs. Shakib Al Hasan being an experienced player, he understands well and he's the one who gave suggestions and advice to score in the deep. After the match, Hridoy mentioned playing along with Shakib Al Hasan is really enjoyable and he gives good advice and encouraged to perform well.

Yeah I agree, because I also feel there is no way to give MOM award in this all situation clearly Shakib was better in both batting and bowling which give him edge for winning this award, but we can't talk about ground realities because persons sitting on ground always feel different from us which is big difference about this, so we have to accept their decision about this all even still this is shocking decision to give him award.

But here I want to give one point as Towhid was playing his first ODI and give best from him which allow his side for having this big target and big win this is going into his favour because all time applauding youngsters is good thing in every sport.

Temba is having what a match as he is still on crease with last man standing completed his fourth hundred in ODI and having 1000 runs as well but his team fails and now West Indies back in this match thanks to Akeal Hosein with the figure of 3 for 59 at crucial time with now South Africa is still in hunt as they are 260 for 8 in chase of 338 Temba and Ngidi on crease with run rate is still achievable, but wickets are the problem 79 runs required Tabraiz Shamsi in dressing room waiting for his inning things looking balanced but West Indies is hot favourite for the win of this ODI good fight back from them in this match.

Alzarri Joseph, Jason Holder and Kyle Mayer's can give win to their team in this match, all viewers looking for answers here after having massive target on board from batting side.

South Africa lost by 48 runs. Even after West Indies set a huge target of 336 runs, I expected South Africa to win. And their top-order players performed well. The match was completely under the control of South Africa till 30 overs. They lost wickets very quickly. South Africa would have won the match if they had not lost a wicket. The two openers started well but neither player in the middle order played well. South Africa could have won if they got some support from the middle order.

Doesn't matter if he had a great domestic season or not. Current match performance matters the most for the man of the match award.

Normally commentators decide the result so my guess is there might be some bias with the award or maybe Shakib voluntarily gave up the award for a debutant.

Bangladesh got a good win against Ireland. Bangladesh has won the highest number of runs against Ireland in ODI cricket. They defeated Ireland by 183 runs in this match.  After winning the toss against Bangladesh, the captain of the Ireland team decided to bowl first. When Bangladesh batted against Ireland, Tamim got out early. After Tamim's dismissal, Debutant Tawheed Hriday 92(45), and Shakib Al Hasan 93(89) led the team. Both of them narrowly failed to bring up their century. Shakib Al Hasan Tawheed Hriday and Mushfiqur Rahim's storming innings saw Bangladesh's score reach 338. When Ireland came to bat against Bangladesh with a target of 339 runs, the Bangladeshi bowlers put a lot of pressure from the beginning. However, Ibadat Hossain (4 wickets), Nasum Ahmed (3 wickets), and Taskin Ahmed (2 wickets), with their superb bowling skills, gave Bangladesh a huge victory by 128 runs. Congratulations to Team Tigers.

Bangladesh was looking strong as I mentioned in my previous post. And also Bangladesh surprised me more than my think. Means Bangladesh won the match with a great margin. In Bangladesh team the team leader was on fire and made 93 runs. And if we look at other team players so the Towhid Hridoy was also good in this match with 92 runs.
On the other hand Ireland performance was really bad. No one even touched the 50 runs. George Dockrell  just go to the 45 runs. Otherwise all the team players didn't played well.

I am very happy to enjoy such a game of Bangladesh team.Bangladesh team has started the match with very good performance in several matches.Bangladesh team has been performing very well in almost every match.Shaqib Al Hasan has been performing very well in every match.  Bangladesh team is so strong because of many great performances from bowling line to batting.  If the Bangladeshi team had a few more players like Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh team could have gone much further.

Bangladesh's performance in the last few matches has impressed me. This team is now very strong in both batting and bowling. Shakib, Hridoy, Liton and Shanto are in excellent form. And they are able to play well in almost every match. Also the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers Taskin and Mustafiz has improved compared to earlier. This group cannot be considered weak now. The Bangladesh team is capable of defeating any big team. But players must maintain consistency of performance. Bangladesh hopes to qualify for the semi-finals in the next World Cup.

Either Shakib gave up the award voluntarily or it was done to encourage the young lad. I am also feel Shakib was kept in loop if this award was given for encouragement.

In the end it is just an award with some financial benefits. With one single award there is zero gurantee that he would be consistent with his performance & have sealed his place in international cricket.

The second ODI between India and Australia would be played today. While everyone nwas talking about KL Rahul's comeback after the first ODI. I went ahead and looked into the performance of Sir Jadeja after his comeback from injury. . Man of the Match in the first test, Man of the match in the second test, Joint Man of the series for BGT & Man of the Match in first ODI. Sir Jadeja is the reason why I feel the Indian side can become ODIWC winner of 2023.

South Africa lost by 48 runs. Even after West Indies set a huge target of 336 runs, I expected South Africa to win. And their top-order players performed well. The match was completely under the control of South Africa till 30 overs. They lost wickets very quickly. South Africa would have won the match if they had not lost a wicket. The two openers started well but neither player in the middle order played well. South Africa could have won if they got some support from the middle order.

You are not alone who was expecting South Africa to win this match even after conceding 335 runs from team like West Indies there were many others also having same expectations from them and until 30 overs inning there was chance for them to win this match, but suddenly we have mini collapse from the South African side and then fail to recover from this collapse even Temba done good job until end and scored his career best with complete his 1000 runs as well but his batting and all effort gone into vain with this defeat Akeal Hosein and Alzarri Joseph play a vital role for the win of their team.

Shai Hope is currently the best player for the West Indies in White ball format as he has done good job with 128 runs without any support from other side where we have all gone quickly now on 21st March we will have last ODI at Potchefstroom.

After winning the T20 series against England, the Bangladesh team has regained some of its old power. Almost everyone in the cricket world now knows how much they can roar on their own ground. A big win for Bangladesh against Ireland yesterday naturally signals that Bangladesh will dominate the upcoming matches. If the cricketers of Bangladesh can show such performance outside the home field then they will be able to show a very respectable game in the upcoming World Cup. Ireland's tour of Bangladesh will end with 3 ODIs and 3 T20 series in this tour.

There is no doubt that Bangladesh has always been a strong team in ODI cricket. Since 2015, Bangladesh's ODI cricket has started to improve till now, Bangladesh has continued that improvement trend. But recently, Bangladesh's performance is truly remarkable. Especially in the England series and Ireland series, their performance is truly remarkable. They got a huge 188-run win against Ireland in Sylhet. We all know that ODI World Cup is going to be held in India this year. If Bangladesh can perform like this then Bangladesh will have a chance to win the World Cup.

Congratulations to Team Tigers.

There are several reasons behind this remarkable performance of Bangladesh. Earlier, Bangladesh used to rely on the selected few players, if any of the selected players did badly, Bangladesh could not come back in that match, but now Bangladesh can rely on all the players.  And the mentality of every player is made in such a way that anyone can take out the match if they want. Bangladesh needed this mindset. Hope to perform well regularly from now on.

Bangladesh won the first ODI match against Ireland by a huge margin. Bangladesh cricket team batted in the first innings and gave Ireland a target of 339 runs. The Ireland cricket team went into bat in the second innings and collected 155 runs for the loss of all wickets in 30.5 overs. The bowling lineup of Bangladesh cricket team was very strong. Bangladesh cricket team bowlers managed to chase Ireland off the field in 30.5 overs. Bangladesh cricket team is playing much better now than before. I hope Bangladesh will give better game in future too

Quality and experience is big difference between these two teams with Bangladesh is relatively better team at home, and recently they whitewashed England in T20i series which is big achievement for them after losing ODI series at home against England even right now Bangladesh is at the 7th and Ireland is at 11th spot in ICC rankings but still we can give big advantage to home side in this series for having another whitewash.

Bangladesh hammered 338 as veteran Shakib and debutant Towhid 90s with both fail to score their hundred but still this was big target for the minor Ireland and with the experienced bowling of Bangladesh they down and out of this very quickly and able to scored only 155 in 31 overs which was lesser than expectations but big win for the Bangla Tigers.

The batsmen of the Bangladesh team failed to score several runs in the first innings and lost some wickets. But later, with the wonderful partnership of Touhid Hriday and Shakib Al Hasan, Ireland was able to take the target of massive runs in Bangladesh. Later, the outstanding performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers ensured a comprehensive victory for Bangladesh.
