ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Out of the total of 5 ODI's the Pakistan team has won 2 and 3 more matches are left. As usual, the start is always good but the end always results in disappointment. What they did in the T20 series was a complete mess. I hope they do not do the same in the currency ODI as it would be a big disappointment for Pakistani fans. No one expects a team playing on the home ground to draw a series or lose it.

The trust that the audience built on the Pakistan team at the start of the T20 series was completely lost at the end. I believe that the same incident won't happen with the ODI series. If Pakistan team get the same result in the ODI series at home ground, there will be definitely negative criticism about their cricket. Even after winning the first two matches, Pakistan could not win the last series which will not be a good message for Pakistan cricket. I strongly believe that Pakistan won't repeat the same incident in the ODI series and provably Pakistan can win the series by 4-1.

The Pakistani team played well in the first two matches of the T20 series. And they won. After winning the first two matches, the Pakistan team could not win the series. One month was abandoned and they lost the remaining two matches. But Pakistan is still very strong in the ODI format. But I would say that the performance of their bowlers is good. Pakistan won both matches only because of the good performance of three batsmen. Babar Azam, opener Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan have performed brilliantly in all three matches. If these three players don't perform well in any match I am sure the Pakistan team will face a bad batting disaster and lose. Pakistan should now think about how to strengthen their bowling line-up.

These three heroes in yesterday's match played very well. Fakhar Zaman, in particular, deliver his outstanding performance on the field.

It's true top three batters of the Pakistani team have been performing so well in their recent matches, and it's a treat to watch them play. The consistency of their batting that we've not seen before. However, their middle order remains an area of concern, and team needs to address. I'm optimistic about Pakistan's chances of winning the series. Let's be honest, when the wicket is flat and offers nothing for the bowlers, it's going to be a tough ask for them to make any impact. So, the expectations from the bowlers are quite low, and it's up to the batsmen to carry the team forward.

In last year Pakistan has won only one home series and that is ODI series against Australia last year. Since then all series played in country are either draw or lost by Pakistan. Pakistan was even not able to win T20 series against second tier new zealand team. This is a great opportunity to break there losing streak and win series. 3 more ODIs still to be played and Pakistan need to win just one to grab the series. Seeing the performance of Pakistan its difficult to predict outcome of this series.

The second ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand was absolutely unbelievable. Pakistan was actually lucky to have a good opener who can actually score like that.
Fakhar Zaman alone scored 180. That was huge. That contributed a lot to the win for Pakistan.

Pakistan is leading two-zero right now. This is of course a great opportunity for them to actually win a series.
After all, Pakistan is being able to get win in those matches which are actually tough.
At the same time, all of these matches also show that Pakistan is being able to overcome the batting problems that they had.

It shows the ability of Pakistan batting well in the ODI matches. This win really matters and helps the team improve and place the players at the right position before the ODI world cup scheduled for the year. Both the matches were really good and there is combined efforts from the teams. However it was Fakhar Zaman who made Pakistan win the matches. This is really good that when someone fails the other player performing and recover the team. Same time this shouldn't turn to be dependence over the particular player.

If Pakistan can maintain their consistency then they will be able to win the series. But it is doubtful whether they will be able to do so in the end. In the upcoming match, New Zealand will try their best to win the match and save the series. But this might be Pakistan's last chance otherwise they might lose again. If the series is drawn or lost after 2 consecutive wins in the 5 match series then it is a big failure for the team which is not expected by the Pakistan team.

We shouldn't downgrade a team. Even before the second ODI match there were more discussion that New Zealand will do its best. Same as that New Zealand did it's best, and Pakistan outperformed with their performance. Both the matches weren't an easy chase. The targets were really good and in the second match once after the innings of New Zealand it is said Pakistan will win the match. What happened at the last, comfortable win. In the upcoming matches too we can expect similar results.

Pakistan set an amazing record with their last win, fakahr zaman run chase was phenomenal,  but we can't ignore Newzealand performances with bat they have been amazing in both matches.
Their balling is a bit weak that's it.

Tens of thousands of Nepal cricket fans at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur staying on behind heavy rain. The final match of the ACC Men's Premier Cup is currently ongoing between Nepal and the United Arab Emirates. You will never find any fans for United Arab Emirates, because they don't have any nationals in their team.

It will be a great injustice to the Nepal fans in case this match gets washed out. Because right now, UAE is at 106/9 after 27.3 overs. Without the rains, Nepal would have won already.

Nepal is clearly in stronger position as UAE already lost 9 wickets on just 106 runs , hopefully rain stops in time and Nepal get to bat to chase this tiny target and wins the Premier Cup. 
That's right really unfair for Nepal fans they were eagerly waiting for their team to win this cup.

Yes you are right. Nepal is looking much stronger as compare to the United Arab Emirates. At this time Rain is taking interest in this match. Otherwise 90% chances are in the favor of Nepal's team because the score is only 106 and the UAE lost 9 wickets. By the way let see when the rain will stop and the match will start.

UAE scored 109 runs in 27.3 overs and lost 9 wickets before rain come in to resuce them. Play has been called off because of rain and don't know whether there is another reserve day for final or not.
Asif Khan saved UAE from humiliation by scoring 46 runs otherwise UAE would be all out under 75 runs in the final. Nepal with this performance deserves a chance to play icc ODI world cup.

Good to see a full ground but not all of them would be Nepali. I am sure there would be a few from Bihar & UP states of India that are bordering Nepal. Obviously, you won't find fans from UAE because they are crazy about Football and not Cricket. Give it some time and you will find them in the stadium next time.

It will be a great injustice to the Nepal fans in case this match gets washed out. Because right now, UAE is at 106/9 after 27.3 overs. Without the rains, Nepal would have won already.

So what happened? Did the match happen or got canceled?

Nipal has an 80% chance to win UAE lost 9 wickets with a score of 106 runs in 27 overs. From Nipal L. Rajbanshi picks up 3 wickets just giving 5 runs in 4.5 overs and Karan Kc also picks up 2 wickets brilliant performance with the ball. Despite persistent rain leading to the Grand Final being called off for the day Nepal must feel confident after their dominant performance in the first innings. Winning the toss and reducing UAE to 106/9 in 27.3 overs was an impressive feat. It will be exciting to see if Nepal can continue their bright form tomorrow and secure their spot in the ICC ODI world cup

The match is with Nepal team. Nowhere it is possible to see such a level of support from the audience. Even at the heavy rain thousands of audience with umbrella in hands shows how good is their support to the national team. Seeing this scenario surely the Nepal team players will get much more confidence and the spirit to win the finals. I'm sure there won't be injustice sharing the trophy.

Today's match between United Arab Emirates and Nepal was stopped by 2 umpire decisions due to rain and it was decided to restart tomorrow. In today's match, Nepal cricket team had a chance to easily win against United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates cricket team started batting in the first innings and collected 106 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 27.3 overs. United Arab Emirates Cricket Team has one more wicket remaining. The bowling line-up of Nepal cricket team is very strong in today's match. United Arab Emirates cricket team was in batting disaster from the start of the game. Unfortunately the weather turned bad after 27.3 overs of play and the match had to be called off. It is expected that Nepal will perform well in tomorrow's match

Today Nepal has greater chances of winning with UAE disastrous batting . Nepal balling was brilliant and they didn't let UAE stand on crease for long .
Match will continue from where it stopped or it will start all over again ?

If the series is drawn or lost after 2 consecutive wins in the 5 match series then it is a big failure for the team which is not expected by the Pakistan team.

Pakistan has a great chance here. They really should look forward to keeping the momentum strong. I honestly feel like if they don't keep performing well they will actually lose the momentum and consistency. And New Zealand might be able to take advantage of that.

We shouldn't downgrade a team. Even before the second ODI match there were more discussion that New Zealand will do its best. Same as that New Zealand did it's best, and Pakistan outperformed with their performance. Both the matches weren't an easy chase.

In the upcoming matches too we can expect similar results.

There is no reason for anyone to say that New Zealand is not going to be able to win. And I absolutely agree that there is no reason to underestimate New Zealand because after all it is New Zealand we are talking about. They can beat any team at any given time. And Pakistan can really lose the match and probably also the series if there start underestimating New Zealand
