ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[onecall123]

Now the match is officially called off without a ball being bowled. Sri Lanka needs to play the qualifier in Zimbabwe for the World Cup 2023. One point given to each team and the point of Sri Lanka have reached 88 points. It looks like big difference between the points of Sri Lanka and West Indies.

You are looking at the ICC ODI rankings table, and not at the points table for the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. Qualification for the 2023 ODI World Cup will be decided by the latter. If Sri Lanka wins the next match, then there is still a chance that they may qualify directly. They have 81 points now, and West Indies is at 88. If they win the next match, then they will be at 92 points. But still, there is no guarantee. If South Africa wins both of their matches against Netherlands, then they will get to 98 points.

The competition for the direct qualification spot in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League standings is really starting to heat up. Unfortunately, Sri Lanka - World Cup winner team are having a tough time securing their place in the main stage. It's really surprising to see how both Sri Lanka and South Africa known as top-tier cricket teams have fallen down this stage. It's really disappointing to witness their struggles in the present day.

The performances of Sri Lanka and the West Indies are now very poor. After the team's star players retire, they cannot find suitable replacements. This is why their performance is so erratic. There are several talented players on the team. But they don't have the players in their squad to perform responsibly. This is the reason why West Indies cannot win the match despite given a huge target of 258 runs against South Africa in the T20 format. However, compared to these two teams, the performance of the Bangladesh team is extraordinary at the moment. I have high expectations from this team in the next World Cup.

The match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka is getting delayed by rain. This is one of the two remaining matches for Sri Lanka in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. If both these matches gets washed out, they will end up with 87 points (one point behind West Indies) and therefore they may need to play the qualifier tournament for the 2023 ODI World Cup. South Africa will have two matches against Netherlands this week, and if they win those matches then they are through (irrespective of the outcome from NZ vs SL matches).

So sad to hear that the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka has been delayed due to rain. This match is of utmost importance for SriLanka as it is one of the remaining two matches for them in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. If they do not get the chance to play this match they could have 87 points one point behind West Indies. They still have a chance to make it to the 2023 ODI World Cup qualifier tournament. Let's hope the weather clears up and the match takes place soon.

Sri Lanka's last match in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League will be played on Friday. Their chances are very slim, even if they win this match. Because in order for them to qualify directly to the next ODI World Cup, South Africa should lose one one of their remaining two matches against Netherlands. That is very improbable, and recently the Dutch lost the ODI series to a below strength Zimbabwe side by a margin of 1-2. And in case the match gets washed out on 31st, then Sri Lanka's chances will also get washed away.

After the abandoned match and point deduction I feel Srilanka is pretty much out of the contention for a direct qualify and so is WI. SA would easily qualify for the world cup as they will be playing against Netherlands.

WI, Srilanka and Zimbabwe will be part of the qualifier tournament that is scheduled to happen in June. If I am correct only two teams from this qualifier would end up being part of the world cup. If you are a Srilankan fan then your team still can qualify for the cup.

Well.. let's wait until 31st March. It is still too early to make assumptions. In case Sri Lanka wins the match on Friday, then there is a small chance. Netherlands is the team that defeated England multiple times in the past, during ICC tournaments. The two matches against South Africa are their last matches in the ODI super league, and I am sure that they will put maximum effort to win these matches. And the Super League has been shelved by the ICC from next season onwards. Therefore the Dutch knows that it is now or never.

The next match between Srilanka & Newzealand will be happening in Hamilton. According to weather prediction report on Friday it will be cloudy with no rain but on Saturday it would rain. If the prediction remains then the Kiwis will be playing for a series win and Srilankan would be playing to draw the series plus getting an additional points.

The match surely would entertaining but Srilanka would be in immense pressure. If they are able to handle pressure and play exceptionally well then I am sure they will win the match. Still it won't be easy for them to directly qualify as the South African team only need to win one match against Netherland.

@Sithara007 there’s a very slim chance of your predictions coming through, but then upsets happen all the time so maybe Srilanka will stun the Kiwis and Netherland will stun SA. @pakhittheboss what odds are you seeing for Srilanka, because I’m expecting really good odds for them as New Zealand will obviously be the favourites and thus was thinking of taking a risk and wagering on Srilanka if the odds are decent.

In this tour Sri Lanka didn't show any positive attitude towards the performance. They have not shown their dominance in either the Test or ODI formats and there is confusion about whether they will be able to do well in the coming days as well. In the 3rd and last ODI of the series, if their match is called off due to rain, they will still lose the series and if they come back with a good performance in that match and win, the series will end with a draw. But I am not expecting anything good from Sri Lanka in this ODI series.

The Sri Lankan team conceded a humiliating defeat in the first match. Setting the New Zealand team a target of 275, the Sri Lankan team lost all wickets in just 19.5 overs and managed to muster just 76 runs. New Zealand won by 198 runs. The second match was abandoned due to rain. The third match is also likely to be abandoned. The match will be held in Hamilton. And the weather is not very good. Perhaps this match may also be declared abandoned. But even if the match takes place, I think Sri Lanka will lose badly. Because the state of their party is very bad now. Batsmen are not in good form. They do not have the ability to win against a team like New Zealand.

Sirlankan performance is towards downfall , last year they were really good in Asia cup intact they won the trophy .
After that they didn't maintain the game and lost all important ones , there is great capability in their players if the work on their skills .

Canada vs USA

Canada is playing now and the performance is really bad Canada has lost 6 wickets and made only 98 runs in 27 overs. And the Current Run Rate is 3.62. And if we see the progress so I am little bit sure that the Canadian team will not cross the 150 runs. And this will not a big target for USA team. If they will play wisely. By the way let see what will happen?

Canada collected 146 runs at the end of 40 overs. Giving a target like 220 will make the match competitive. The USA team cannot be called weak. Their batting was good enough against Namibia. The USA scored 232 runs. If Canada sets a target of less than 200 in today's match, the USA will have a better chance of winning.

Namibia's batting against PNG surprised me. Namibian batsmen managed to collect 309 runs in 45 overs. Nikolaas Davin scored 90 runs off 79 balls and Erasmus was able to score 125 runs. Perhaps today Namibia will be able to deliver a target of 330. This is enough collection to win against PNG. The Namibia team will win today by a big margin.

I will say that as Sri Lanka lost the first match horribly, the second match not being played at all has been actually good for them. Because going into the third match, Sri Lanka will actually be able to potentially get a draw from this series if they win the third match. I personally don't think they will actually be able to win the third match.

But it still potentially gives them a good chance. Sri Lanka will have to do a lot better in the batting department if they want to actually win the last match. But as you said, the weather does not look good. So there is a chance of that match being abandoned.

@pakhittheboss what odds are you seeing for Srilanka, because I’m expecting really good odds for them as New Zealand will obviously be the favourites and thus was thinking of taking a risk and wagering on Srilanka if the odds are decent.

Kiwis are favourite to win the last ODI. I do not think Srilankan team would be able to defeat them. Almost every kiwi batter is back in form and since it is thier homeground it is natural for bowlers to perform well.

If you still want to take that odd risk then I think you should. As in the past Srilanka did some extra ordinary bowling and batting if I keep in my mind the last Asia cup. Although the format and the ground was different still they might outperform their performance in Newzealand

Perhaps today Namibia will be able to deliver a target of 330. This is enough collection to win against PNG. The Namibia team will win today by a big margin.

Namibia set a target of 382 runs. I would say it was a totally unexpected score. I never imagined that a team like Namibia would score 381 runs. In the last match, the Namibia team scored only 151 runs against the USA. They lost the match by 80 runs. Namibia batted brilliantly in the last 5 overs in today's match. Their collection was 72 runs in the last 5 overs. Thus if Namibia is able to perform in the earlier matches then they can be at the top of the table. In today's match, I predict Namibia to win by at least 150 runs.

Canada scored 198 runs against USA. Predictions cannot be made about this match. Because USA's batting line-up is not very strong but 198 runs is not a big collection. If the USA batsmen can stay at the crease, their chances of victory are high.

That is really a great move with only remaining 4 wickets. Now Canada has made 198 runs and gave the target of 199 runs to USA team. And I think this target is also little bit difficult to chase by the USA team. Because Canada team will try to their best to bowl well and try to collect more wickets. And by doing this the Canadian team can win the match easily.  But USA will also try best we can't underestimate the both teams at this time.

Although the target was low, the match turned out to be competitive. Because they lost wickets very quickly. They lost the first wicket by just 1 run. And they lost their second wicket by 20 runs. So USA's batting has become slow. At the end of 20 overs, USA's collection was only 65/3. The USA still need 134 runs to win. The pitch does not look batting friendly. It is very difficult for batsmen to survive at the crease. And so it became challenging for the USA to score 134 runs to win the match. I think Team Canada will win today. Because their bowling is very controlled today.

Canada batting was not up to the mark USA is chasing target very smoothly,  at 33 overs they have made 117 runs on loss of 5 wickets .
Now they just need 80 runs in 17 overs which is easy one  USA I'd going to win this match.

The game between Canada vs United States players is quite intense. Canada batted first and set a target of 198 runs in 49.2 balls. Canada batsman Aaron Johnson was out for 47 runs off 52 balls. If Aaron Johnson could have scored 3 more runs, his 50  Run would have been completed. United States is now batting.  110 runs scored in 32.4 overs. United States has lost 5 wickets so far. United States team needs 89 runs to win.
