ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[impulse709]

The way Zimbabwe started their innings I thought Zimbabwe could score 200 runs. But they batted well enough. 249 runs were collected by the players of Zimbabwe. Even then they did not win. Zimbabwe would have won this match if the bowlers of Zimbabwe bowled in a controlled manner. Teja Nidamanuru batted brilliantly today. He scored 110 runs off just 96 balls. And because of his extraordinary innings, the Netherlands team was able to win.

Zimbabwe played well towards the end otherwise such a big score would not have been possible in their favor. But whatever their collection was, if they could have kept the Dutch batsmen under pressure from the start, it would have been difficult for them to make this run. Although they were taken 7 wickets. But I think Zimbabwe will definitely do well in the next matches. Because the top players could not perform well in today's match.

The Netherlands were simply able to win the game because of the last two partnerships that they formed. Otherwise, the Netherlands would have been doomed. As far as the century from Teja is concerned, it was a great one. And of course, the innings from Van Meekran were the nail in the coffin for Zimbabwe. I think after Zimbabwe got six wickets, they actually took it easy. As a result, they certainly underestimated their opponent. This is the reason why they lost this match.

It is true that, no matter how weak the opposing team is, it is kind of foolish to look down and underestimate them. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to underestimate anyone in the moment of competition on the field of play. Because every party expects to give something good. But I think Zimbabwe lost the match because of bowling weakness. Not a single member of the Zimbabwean team bowled well. Netherlands batsmen have been able to play the balls of the bowlers of the Zimbabwe team very easily. Netherlands batsman Teja Nidamanuru performed brilliantly. I would say this match was a match of brilliance and fullness. I am very happy to enjoy this match

Australia vs India.
They played two ODI matches before Australia and India. India won the first match and Australia won the second match. But I am very conflicted about this match today. I am analyzing for betting but here I am having a little dilemma. Because the two teams that will participate today are very strong. I cannot analyze which team will win. But I am seeking advice from experienced people here which team is more likely to win. Australia or India?

India is more likely to win today. Because the match is in his own country. So I think you can feel free to bet on India.Currently India team is very strong.  Especially Virat Kohli is in great form.

It is. But if you take a look on the last match so you will see that Australia won the match with big margin they won the match with remaining 234 balls and didn't gave any wicket to India. And India got out on 117 runs.
And now there is third ODI between these two teams. And the match will start after 2hours and both teams are looking strong. And according to me. Australia will win the match. (Others may disagree)

Even if India lost to Australia by a big margin, we have to keep in mind that India has the ability to bounce back. I think it would be great for Australia to win the series on Indian soil Top point. India can always take the important matches out of the bag. I think today India will not want them to lose the series, they are going into the field today with a plan in mind.

The schedule for 2023 ODI World Cup is out finally. We still don't know who are the last 3 teams participating in this event. As per the rankings in ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, 7 of the teams have qualified: England, New Zealand, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Australia and Afghanistan. The last two spots will be decided on the basis of performance in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.     

The tournament will start by 5th October 2023, and will go on until 19th November. A total of 48 matches will be played across 46 days. For this event, the normal semi-final format will be used (1st placed team vs 4th, and 2nd vs 3rd), rather than the eliminator/qualifier format that is popular across most of the franchise leagues. The venues are yet to be finalized and this is going to be challenging given the slight overlap with the monsoon season. BTW, there is still no clarity on the tax issue. ICC has been asked to pay $116.47 million in taxes by the Indian government.

I cannot analyze which team will win. But I am seeking advice from experienced people here which team is more likely to win. Australia or India?

Australia won the toss and decided to bat. Already scored 92 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 16 overs. Their run rate is very good, but they have lost 3 important wickets. They are very pressured. Hardik Pandya alone took 3 wickets.

India lost a humiliating match in the last match. We didn't expect that kind of performance from them playing at their home ground. Today in the match, India will play with understanding. If they can put Australia under pressure and complete the over. Then it will be easy for India to win the match.

It is. But if you take a look on the last match so you will see that Australia won the match with big margin they won the match with remaining 234 balls and didn't gave any wicket to India. And India got out on 117 runs.

While the result of the previous match may provide some indication of each team current form and momentum it is important to remember that each game is unique and the result may be influenced by a variety of factors. As I mentioned earlier predicting the outcome of a cricket match is not a straightforward task and depends on several variables. So I cannot confirm or deny your prediction. Both teams have excellent players and the match can swing either way. It is better to watch the matches without bias and appreciate the skill of the players.

India lost a humiliating match in the last match. We didn't expect that kind of performance from them playing at their home ground. Today in the match, India will play with understanding. If they can put Australia under pressure and complete the over. Then it will be easy for India to win the match.

It is important to remember that cricket is a game where anything can happen, and the outcome of a match can be unpredictable. It is also important to respect sportsmanship and the opposing team regardless of the outcome.

It will be interesting to see whether Pakistan join this world cup or not. So far, there is no confirmation about that. Meanwhile there is no confirmation about India regarding they are coming to Pakistan for Asia Cup or not? Major chances are that India won't travel to Pakistan atleast in BJP govt. This must be a good gambling topic

India Is bowling pretty good today specially Hardik Pandya who took major wickets,  Australia batting is struggling after 40 overs they have scored 210 runs and 7 wickets loss .
Australia can give target of maximum 250 today as they don't have wickets left and India can win this game there are higher chances.

At last a score of 200+, I was getting fed up with these below 200 run target matches. As expected the last ODI between India & Australia will bring some entertainment. I hope the openers as well as the middle order of the Indian team perform like they used to in the past. 

The way Australia started I was expecting a target of 300+ on the board. But, Hardik Pandya and Yadav took all the load and delivered what India wanted which was a low target. Already 8 wickets are gone without Australia reaching 250. Still, 4 overs are left, and if the tail-enders want to go after the bowlers now then with luck they might reach 280 or might not.

So as expected Australia lost all wickets on 269 runs in 49 overs , the target is ok as far as they ball good .
Target is an easy one for team like India whose batting order is diverse and long so you can expect their openers and middle order to chase easily.

[Patrol69]

In the series deciding match against India, Australia managed to score 269 runs by batting first. The visiting Australia managed to score 269 runs after losing all the wickets in 49 overs. Team India has already started batting with a target of 270 runs. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma will open the series against Australia today. Hope India batsmen will be successful by batting the target of 270 runs. There is a lot of pressure on India's batsmen as they were bowled out for 117 runs in the second ODI. But I hope India will do well today. But for India to win this match, Australia's world-class bowlers must face the world-class batsmen, but India can win this match.

Australia has been all out for 269/10 in just 49 overs. It's hard to believe that they went from 138/5 to 200/7 and then managed to reach a total of 269 runs. The tailenders really stepped up and contributed over 70 runs, which is quite impressive.

Hardik Pandya and Yadav were the shining stars for India bowling line-up today, taking three wickets each and restricted the Australian batters. For the Indian batters it shouldn't be too difficult  to chase down. It's definitely an interesting series and match decider. I can't wait to see who will step up and take the victory.

269 for the Indian side is a huge score considering most of their top notched batter are struggling against the Australian bowlers. India was once a team wherein batters were known to win matches but after watching a few matches with Australia playing in India I think that myth has been broken. Neither do they have one of the best batting lineups nor they would be able to get it unless they give more opportunities to new talent.

Yes, today is the third ODI between India and Australia In this match, Australia scored 269 runs by batting first. Batting on a target of 270 runs, India collected 23 runs for no wicket in 4 overs.We know that Australia's bowling line-up is quite strong whereas India's batting line-up is also very strong.Today maybe there will be a tough fight between the two teams.Let's see which team wins today.But cricket is a game of glorious uncertainty.

India's 3rd ODI match on tour of Australia has started today. Australia batted first and set a target of 269 runs in 49 overs. India did not perform very well in bowling in the beginning but in the end they performed very well. Hardik Pandya bowled very well. 44 runs in 8 overs.  took 3 wickets with Australia batsman not able to score more than 47 runs all got out with very few runs. India batting now. 82 runs in 14.1 overs. But India lost 2 strong wickets. The game looks very tight now.

Already 8 wickets are gone without Australia reaching 250. Still, 4 overs are left, and if the tail-enders want to go after the bowlers now then with luck they might reach 280 or might not.

At the start of the match it looked like 300+ runs. Once the wickets started to fall, the scoring got disturbed and there were consecutive fall of wickets at regular interval. Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav had a good bowling contribution. Every Australian player contributed to the score, but there is no big score coming out of any player. If any of the player have scored century target score might've gone 300+ runs.

India started the endings and had a good opening partnership. Soon after the wickets of Rohit Sharma the second wicket(Shubman Gill) fell. Right now India is in good position, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul on the crease have made good partnership. This partnership need to continue till 200+ runs for an easy winning.

[elevates]

As usual the openers are gone too early. Considering the pitch I was expecting them to get thier individual 50s. To an extent it was my fault expecting from the early batters. Looks like Kholi is again in his agressive mode. He is currently striking at 88+, which he was used to before 2019. I reckon he is basically trying to get that back. The condition are okay for a class batter like him and if he succeeds he will score a century today.

India's 3rd ODI match on tour of Australia has started today. Australia batted first and set a target of 269 runs in 49 overs. India did not perform very well in bowling in the beginning but in the end they performed very well.

It is not entirely true that India has bowled badly, now Australia is bowling but compared to India's bowling, Australia is not performing well. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are setting themselves up brilliantly on the wicket and India are performing well as a team. Both Rohit Sharma and Gill started brilliantly. Now both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul remain unbeaten on the wicket with 36 and 15 respectively. At the moment the team collection is 120/2 runs.

India batting now. 82 runs in 14.1 overs. But India lost 2 strong wickets. The game looks very tight now.

India is now batting against Australia's target of 270 runs.  So far India have collected 146 runs for two wickets (27.4 overs) now with Virat Kohli (45) and Lokesh Rahul (32) at the wicket.  India need just 124 runs to win with eight valuable wickets and 22 overs to spare. If Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul can put up a good score then it can be said that India will win the series deciding match between Australia vs India in Chennai.

[impulse709]

3rd ODI match is India Cricket Team vs Australia Cricket Team.  Australia cricket team won the toss and batted first. Australia cricket team gave India cricket team a target of 270 runs.  The Indian cricket team is batting in the second innings to achieve the target.  Two batsmen of Indian cricket team fell at the beginning of the game.  The Indian cricket team needs to play with utmost responsibility remaining batsmen to win the match.  Having played two matches previously, Australia and India have  1-1.  The team that wins today's match will win the series.  Nothing can be said about which team will win until the end of the game

If Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul can put up a good score then it can be said that India will win the series deciding match between Australia vs India in Chennai.

Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul settled for the wicket but could not last as Lokesh Rahul was dismissed and returned to the pavilion. Not only Lokesh Rahul but also Aksar Patel was run out in two balls and made his way to the pavilion. But still Virat Kohli is steady on the wicket. Hardik Pandya comes to the crease to form a partnership with Virat Kohli. India can win this match against Australia only if Virat Kohli can bat responsibly and if the rest of the team can support Virat Kohli. However, losing two wickets in a row, India is under a lot of pressure. Till now India had the match in hand. But hopefully Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya will overcome this batting disaster.
