ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Team India toured the West Indies with several new cricketers. Rohit Sharma's India will take the field in the first ODI match against the West Indies today. Along with the regular XI players, we can see some new players in the first ODI against the West Indies. Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik will lead the fast bowling line-up as India's bowling line-up relies heavily on their pace and line length. India should do well in this series if they play according to plan. The first two Tests have already been played between the two teams in which India won one Test and drew one Test. Today, these two teams are entering the field to play the first match of the three-match ODI series. The series is a great preparation opportunity for India ahead of the World Cup and Asia Cup.

India and West Indies teams are going to play a 3-match ODI series. The 1st match of which will start today. Both team will try their best. India has won the most matches between these two teams. Besides, almost everyone has an idea about this pitch of Kensington Oval. Here those who will chase have more chances to win. Batting first in this pitch West Indies scored the highest 360 in ODI cricket but they were also chasing defeated by England in that match. So it is very easy to understand that those who will chase have more chances of winning.

Today the 1st ODI match between West Indies vs India team has already started. India team won the toss and decided to bowl. India team is very strong we all know. In today's match India can perform well in the bowling line and put West Indies team batsmen under pressure.  Then the match will be in favor of India team. West Indies came to bat and scored 19 runs in 5 overs. So far West Indies have lost 1 wicket. Kyle Mayers is out for 2 runs in 9 balls. Hardik Pandya of Indian team has done a great bowling performance.  Took 1 wicket for 17 runs off 3 overs.

I can understand empty stands in test cricket as it happens with almost everyone but stands going empty in the limited overs format is not a good look IMO.

Maybe the Windies getting knocked out of the world cup race did some damage but it still looks bad overall. One potential argument would be is the ODI format is dying.

In my opinion India have come to West Indies to burn themselves with World Cup and Asia Cup ahead. Siraj has been fielded by Team India today. Mukesh Kumar is the new face in the team. Today Omran Malik, Mukesh Kumar, Sharadal Thakur and Hardik Pandya are leading the pace bowling. The spin department has Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja. India fielded with their strong batting line-up. West Indies have already lost 3 wickets for 45 runs. Pandya,Mukesh and Shardal Thakur took one wicket each. I think West Indies will be all out before 250 which will be an easy target for India. India will lead the series 1-0 today.

Even though India is actually experimenting, I still do not think that West Indies will actually be able to beat India. 3 ODI will be played in this series. Just because India is also experimenting with the team. I will give the benefit of the doubt that West Indies will be able to win one match. But West Indies is certainly not winning the series for sure. There is a huge chance that India is going to actually whitewash the West Indies team. Even though the bowling lineup is inexperienced, it is far better than the one West Indies have.

We don't know what is going to happen with the entire series except for assuming that India will win the series because they are the favorite team here. The first match has started. Even though West Indies' run rate is quite good at this moment, they lose some early wickets and they still lose wickets every few overs.

West Indies batters should show some patients and play accordingly. It's a 50-over match and you have a lot of up coming overs to hit the boundary. No need to rush scoring runs at this moment when you already lost some wickets.

West Indies continued their bad form in the first ODI at Bridgetown. They were all out at 114 runs and played only 23 overs. Seeing this form, you can easily say that they were rightly out of the world cup and deserve not to be part of this World Cup.  Kuldeep Yadav took 4 wickets while Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets.
India will easily win this match as there is no competition between the two teams.

A poor performance in the Test match was followed by a terrible performance in the ODIs by the West Indies team. West Indies' innings ended with just 114 runs. I didn't think West Indies team will play this bad in ODIs. I was sure that West Indies would lose against India. But it was beyond my imagination that they would give a target of only 115 runs. Shai Hope top scored with 43 runs. Besides, no batsman can stay at the crease for long.

India will win today's match very easily. But the pitch cannot be said to be batting friendly. The pitch is quite bowling friendly. This is why India's batsmen have to bat very carefully.

West Indies batted first and were all out for 114 runs in 23 overs. West Indies have performed very poorly. West Indies are not in good form at the moment. been eliminated from the World Cup qualifiers due to poor performances. India bowled well today, Kuldeep Yadav bowled well and took 4 wickets with 6 runs in 3 overs, Ravindra Jadeja bowled well and took 3 wickets. India went into bat with a target of 115 runs and scored 18 runs in 5 overs for 1 wicket. Shubman Gill was out for 7 runs off 16 balls. India will win today very easily, looks like it will win before 22 overs.

Troubled West Indies despite having many good cricket players. West Indies are no longer seen as a team. Sometimes a batsman scored a run in a match, sometimes a bowler took five wickets with the ball. But as a whole team, West Indies cannot be seen jumping on the opposition. The problem of team formation is suffering West Indies. They did not have a place in the ODI World Cup in 2023. A very disappointing 114 all out in the first ODI against India at home and India will win easily. Cricket lovers atleast don't expect this kind of performance from West Indies.

West Indies vs India, 1st ODI match West Indies batting in the first innings lost all their wickets and collected only 114 runs. West Indies were under a lot of pressure as their wickets fell and they couldn't score and were quickly bowled out for short runs. But West Indies have done very bad batting performance today due to which they will probably lose today's match against India. India are already batting brilliantly to reach their target of victory, they just need few more runs to clinch the match. Although India have lost two wickets at the moment, they have enough wickets in their hands to win this match for sure. Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan are the two batsmen at the crease right now they are batting brilliantly both of them might win the match. India don't need too many runs now just 47 runs to win will give India a huge win against West Indies.

[JSRAW]

That's a weird batting order, not sure what the Indian skipper and coach trying to achieve with this strange monkey balancing.

If they really wanted to experiment with the battling lineup then they could've rested Virat and Rohit. These guys are wasting 2 spots if experimenting is their main concern.

West Indies batted first and were all out for 114 runs in 23 overs. West Indies have performed very poorly. West Indies are not in good form at the moment. been eliminated from the World Cup qualifiers due to poor performances. India bowled well today, Kuldeep Yadav bowled well and took 4 wickets with 6 runs in 3 overs, Ravindra Jadeja bowled well and took 3 wickets. India went into bat with a target of 115 runs and scored 18 runs in 5 overs for 1 wicket. Shubman Gill was out for 7 runs off 16 balls. India will win today very easily, looks like it will win before 22 overs.

Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja destroyed the West Indies batting line-up. These two bowlers took 7 wickets. Kuldeep Yadav picked up four wickets in just 3 overs. However, India is slowly moving towards victory. I thought they would not lose too many wickets. But India lost three of their batsmen. Opener Ishan Kishan is still unbeaten. Kishan is unbeaten with 52 runs. India collected 93 runs in 16 overs. The team needs only 22 runs to win.

West Indies will play three ODI matches against India. And I think West Indies will lose all three. Their squad is in dire straits right now. However, the Indian squad was not in very good form. But Indian players are returning to form against West Indies. This is good news for India.

Bruh!
First of all, I have to say a brave decision taken by India to ball after winning the toss. And I believe India wanted to put the inexperienced lineup of bowlers under test. And I have to say they have been pretty successful. They bowled out West Indies for only 114. West Indies was unable to even play half of the overs. They were all out in 23 overs. Kuldeep Yadav got four wickets in only three overs. Ravindra Jadeja got three.

Now India is batting. India now only need 19 runs from 33.2 overs. India still has six wickets in hand. So it is not going to be any problem for them. At least west Indies picked up some wickets in this match.

Today's West Indies vs India match was played worse than T20.  Because even a T20 match is played for 200+ runs but in a match like ODI West Indies can manage only 114 runs where a team like India loses 5 wickets to cross this meager run target. really boring match. Such a match cannot be expected from India and West Indies. At least India should have won this match by 8-9 wickets, then they could have maintained their reputation as a strong team.

I had higher expectations from the West Indies batsmen. This group is now very weak. The team could not play well even against weak teams in the World Cup qualifiers. However, West Indies will lose all wickets for only 114 runs and such bad batting was not expected. On the other hand, we have not seen good batting from experienced Indian batsmen. As the target was only 115 runs. Indian batsmen should have batted more responsibly. Apart from opener Ishan Kishan, no other batsman could bat responsibly. It is still uncertain how the Indian team will perform in the upcoming ODI World Cup.

The ODI format isn't dying. The supporters and spectators of the West Indies cricket team have no more expectations from them. West Indies showed pathetic performance today, but India couldn't get an easy victory there for changing the batting lineup. India lost 5 wickets while they were chasing the small target of 115 runs.

You can literally say that ODI format is not that interesting now a days because T20 is providing more interesting matches and ODI looks like a stretch. There was a time when i used to watch every ball of an ODI match but now a days i rarely watch the matches and age might be a factor but with the abundance of T20 and the excitement you get from the shorter format, i used to get that rush in ODI two decades back but not anymore and people are living in a faster world and they are not having the time to spend 9 hours a match.

Both teams didn't played well as we were expecting. Because West Indies team made only 114 runs and lost all wickets. Both teams played 23 overs. And in these 23 overs West Indies lost all wickets and India lost half 5 wickets.
By the way Kuldeep Yadav performance was really good. He bowled 3 overs and got 4 wickets for 6 runs only. He is the player of the match too.

West Indies had no answer to the Indian spinners (Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja), and it surprises me that they didn't asked for a pace-friendly pitch. And apart from Ishan Kishan, none of the Indian batsmen could get settled in. And even in case of Kishan, after getting a good start, he got out to the spin of Gudakesh Motie. Without the main players such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the Indian batting is looking slightly shaky. And that should be a red flag for the selectors, ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup.

Especially due to such poor performance of West Indies, the match ended in a very short time. But the Indian team lost five wickets while chasing this small target of West Indies. I thought India would get an easy one but in that case the Indian team failed to score. Losing such wickets in ODI matches is rare, West Indies scored 114 runs in 23 overs losing all wickets. The T20 game was played like losing wickets. Yesterday's match was held mainly on the bowling piece ground due to which both the teams were under a lot of pressure while batting.
