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.

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.

India were experimenting with both their batting and bowling lineups. The bowlers really did exceptional, especially the spinners. But yes the batters disappointed us a bit. Rohit and Virat didn’t came to bat early, as they wanted to give Ishan, Surya and Hardik some game time and to test their capabilities as world cup is nearby. Ishan really did well, but Surya and Gill needs to prove their capabilities for the team. KL Rahul will be fit very soon, so it’s obvious he will be keeping in world cup. Now for 4th position either they will consider Ishan, Surya or Samson. This match was just to try various players, Rohit Sharma the Indian skipper said himself before the match.

India have been struggling with their batting line-up for a long time now. The squad has a lot of talented and experienced batsmen. However, the performance of any batsman in the squad is not regular. India batted very well against West Indies in the Test format. I thought maybe the Indian batsmen are back in form. But in yesterday's match, India lost 5 wickets despite batting for only 115 runs. We do not expect such bad batting from the players of a big team like India. And if the batsmen's erratic performance continues, it will be challenging for India to even qualify for the semi-finals in the upcoming ODI World Cup.

The current performance of the West Indies team looks like the West Indies team will disappear from cricket or they have forgotten the game of cricket. West Indies were bowled out for just 114 in the last ODI against India where West Indies qualified to bat in 23 overs. I don't see any similarities between the current West Indies team and the previous West Indies. This is the status of the West Indies team where the stars of the West Indies team play in various franchise cricket tournaments around the world. Can't they try to re-form the team with those players who are in common with the cricket board on various issues? If West Indies' performance continues like this, they may not be seen participating in any major tournament.

[JSRAW]

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.

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.

Tbh it turned out to be a warm up match that's why so many changes in the batting order. At times it felt like Rohit and Kohli didn't want to bat at all.

Hope they get some resistance or some shock in the next matches because this tour was supposed to be a preparation for WC.

The situation in West Indies is very bad now. And that's what their management is all about. Players have only taken the T20 format seriously. This is why West Indies' performance in Tests and ODIs was so poor. And the team could not qualify for the World Cup. West Indies management had no long-term plan. And so West Indies have not been able to find experienced talented players after the senior players of the team retired. This is why the performance of the West Indies is so bad now. And I don't expect any good performance from this team in the next two or three years.

Australia Women   :   Ireland Women

The third and final ODI match of the series between Australia Women vs Ireland Women is taking place. Australia Women's team will win the toss and take the fielding decision. I am sure the Australian women's team will win easily if there is no mishap.
In the second match, we saw a great performance from the Australian women's team. Australian women's team set a huge target of 322 runs. And they won the match by 153 runs. The Ireland women's team is relatively weak.

Ireland women's team scored 31 runs in 8 overs in today's match. And they lost two wickets. Ireland women's players are not experienced enough. I guess the team will not be able to collect even 200 in today's match.

[rojan]

Today's 3rd ODI match of Ireland Women vs Australia Women team has started. Australia Women won the toss and decided to bowl. If Australia Women can perform well in bowling, the bats of Ireland Women team will be under a lot of pressure. Ireland Women came out to bat. 38 in 10.2 overs.  Runs. Ireland Women under a lot of pressure after losing 2 strong wickets so far. I don't know which team will win today's match. Leah Paul is out for 3 runs from 4 balls. Amy Hunter is out for 9 runs from 7 balls.

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.

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.

West Indies batsmen were disoriented by India's Spain bowlers. Kuldeep Yadav bowled three overs where he picked up four wickets for six runs with two maidens. I think if this spinner could have been bowled for a bit longer then he would have taken all the wickets of West Indies single handedly. However, only Ishan Kishan could perform well in India's second innings. In the India vs West Indies match we expected a high scoring match but we got a very low scoring match. As fast as the first match ended, I hope the next match will not end so quickly.

I have no idea why the Indian management changed their dark blue jersey which looked kick-ass while the current jersey looks so average and boring. Why try to fix what's great in the first place?

Also, this entire series between India and West Indies was expected to be one-sided and that's what is happening. Boring series overall!

I mean seriously, are the Indians happy on this win against the babies WI ?

That had to chase only 114 runs, there was no pressure whatsoever, and India still lost 5 wickets in the process. Shocking, isn't 

This should be an eye opener for the Indian cricket board and if they only see this as an Indian win, then I am afraid, there are going to be tough times ahead when you have matches with Australia, England, and Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup.

India is one of the best cricket teams in the world. West Indies can never match India. Because the Indian team plays full quality cricket, Indian players are ahead of West Indies in all aspects of bowling, batsman, fielding.

Ireland women's team have given a target of 217 runs to Aussies team. Orla Prendergast was the highest run scorer from Ireland side as she scored 71 runs on 109 balls. Ashleigh Gardner and Kim Grath both took 3 wickets. Australians have started batting and so far they have scored 38 runs in 6 overs without losing any wicket. Looks like an easy win for Australia Women.

BCCI is simply messed up as of my understanding until now. I am still critical to evaluate who in the team management decided Brohit to come at number 7 in the batting order. Either they as in the team management have totally lost or the captain believes he can bat in any order. There is another possibility they as in the BCCI are experimenting with the batting order. Regardless of what they are trying who in the team management thought of a fierce opner with many records to bat at the lowest  order. This is really shit management.

This was one of those matches where the Indian team could experiment as much as they can and they did just that. In modern day cricket, you will not get international matches where you have too much room to experiment.

Indian bowlers did a great job, dismissing the Indian team at 114 runs and now the Indian batsmen have all the freedom to shuffle themselves and do some experiments.

Let's see how they go about in the 2nd ODI to be played tomorrow at Bridgetown. Lets us see how they go about their batting order.

Looks like an easy win for Australia Women.

I would say Ireland's batsmen batted well enough. Collecting 217 runs against this Australian team was not an easy task. Orla Pendargast's performance in particular was quite good. He managed to play an excellent innings of 71 runs. Also the performances of Lewis, Delany and Stokell were quite good. Stokell was unbeaten on 27 runs. However, the performance of Ireland's bowlers was not good. Ireland's bowlers were not able to take any wickets of Australia. The team reached the target of victory in just 36 overs without losing any wicket. Both the openers managed to score centuries. And the Australia women's team won the series 2-0 with the great performance of the two openers.

Australian women did not face any major challenges in this women’s international one day match against Ireland. Australian women won the toss and decided to bowl first. That was a wise decision. From Ireland, only Orla Prendergast was able to score a good amount of runs. She was the only one having a good score beside her name. No one else was actually able to have a good score.

On the other hand, Australian women did not even lose one we get to chase down the target of 218. Both the Australian openers got a century each. A very dominating win for Australian women.

This series is a training session for the entire team in preparation for the World Cup and hence they can experiment as much as they want and the total they need to chase was not that huge either. So everyone does get the opportunity and build their confidence moving forward and perform so that they can book a place in the team for the World Cup, if not there is a strong bench of players that would happily replace them.

It's not actually BCCI's problem but team management (Coach and Skipper only) minus selectors.

BCCI did their job by scheduling this series before the ODI WC so that team can have some game time but Windies cricketing setup messed up big time with their performance in WC qualifiers and so far doing the same in bilateral. Selectors also did an okay job by resting some players (Bowlers) and sending new kids with the squad.

In every match the Australian Women team keeps proving they're the strongest with their performance. In the match against Ireland Women the score isn't big for them and the team had managed to win without losing a wicket. Both the openers Litchfield and Sutherland have scored century and won it for the team in the 36^th over. For Ireland it is a better experience and they'll get to know where they need to concentrate more. The team is somehow getting good with batting and now they need to focus much on bowling.

West Indies vs India

Today is the second ODI match between these two teams and will be played in Bridgetown. In the last match both teams played badly but fortunately India won that match. Let's see what they will do this match.? By the way India is looking strong but we can't underestimate West Indies team too. Because this team has ability to defeat India.
