The current performance of the West Indies is very bad. On the other hand, the Indian team is much stronger and more experienced than the West Indies. In fact, West Indies do not seem to have any chance of winning this match. Because West Indies players have performed terribly in every previous match against India. But in cricket, it is not always the case that the favorite teams win. If one takes the risk of betting on West Indies to win, and if West Indies manage to win, he will get a return on India. But there are very few people who would be willing to take the risk of betting on the West Indies.

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.

Well if this is the case, then the series may do harm instead of good. Winning easy matches will make them feel a lot more comfortable. Ideally, a team needs to work on their weakness before the start of the world cup but here in this series, you will not get to know about your weakness or strengths.

The same thing is happening with Pakistan at the moment where they are getting some easy matches to play and win against srilanka. Perhaps both teams will get better matches to play at the Asia Cup.

Finally, they rested both Rohit and Kohli. It should have been done from the start but it's a good sign they accepted the reality of this tour and made the necessary changes.

Sanju Samson's fans will be happy to see his name, he'll surely get the last 2 matches and Axar also needed some match practice.

If they are not included in the team for rest then it is fine but if they are left out of the team based on performance then it is wrong decision. BCCI might not have included Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma because there are two big tournaments ahead which might be the main reason for not including these two players in the squad. Sanju Samson's inclusion in the squad is really exciting as the player has been consistently performing well in the domestic league as well as in the IPL but after one season he was left out of the national team.

The team formed by Hardik Pandya as the captain is witnessing the emergence of the youngest cricketers in this team. Hopefully Hardik Pandya will finish a great series with these young cricketers.

West Indies vs India, 2nd ODI match West Indies opt to bowl and India bat. India's two skilled batsmen are batting at the moment and if they can perform well at the crease then they can score a good score. The two Indian batsmen who are batting at the moment are both playing extremely well, especially Shubman Gill if he survives till the end, he will definitely score a century. If West Indies can't perform well in today's match, India will have a huge run gap. So a good bowling performance must be done in the match but West Indies can clash with India. India has already collected 10 runs in 3 overs, India may be able to collect 300 runs today. India can probably win against West Indies today if they perform well.

The latter part is out of the question atm as both have great numbers in ODI and probably ODI is their best format, for Virat is 100% true.

The only reason for their exclusion is to give other guys to have a crack and get a bit more exposure. We'll notice this trend in the T-20 series as well.

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.

Australia won the toss and decided to bat first, but in response, the girls of Ireland scored 169 runs in 19.4 overs, losing 7 wickets. Irish captain Laura Delaney scored the highest run for the team. He made 32 off 28 balls. Amy Hunter and Orla Prendergast scored 26 each. Lewis Little made 21. No cricketer from Ireland could cross the 50-run barrier. But more or less everyone made a run. That's why they overtook Australia.

I am very surprised to see batsmen of India batting. I don't expect such bad batting from experienced Indian players. India lost 8 wickets in 37.2 overs. And collected only 167 runs. India's two openers batted well. Ishan Kishan collected 55 runs and Shubman Gill collected 34 runs. But no other Indian batsman can bat well. India will probably lose all their wickets before 180 runs.
The pitch is bowling friendly. Even if India set a target of less than 200, it is not certain that West Indies will win. Because no West Indies batsman's performance is regular.

2nd ODI match delayed due to rain.
India has already lost eight wickets, while scoring only 167 runs.  Only bright sight of the Indian batting lineup today Ishan Kishan, who managed to score a fifty. It's unlikely India will be able to reach the 200-run at this stage. It looks like that the team may have been overconfident in their selection for today's match. If they wanted to experiment with the lineup, they could have done so in the third ODI after confirming the ODI series. It would have been wise to have either Virat or Rohit play in today's game.

The Indian team has given a target of only 182 runs. The pitch is not batting-friendly as it was predicted earlier. But after India scored 90 runs from the opening pair I thought India would be able to score at least 280 runs today. But after the dismissal of the two openers, no other Indian batsman could stay at the crease for long. Gudakesh Motie and Romario Shepherd bowled well today. Both managed to pick up three wickets each. If the West Indies' top order gets off to a good start, they will win.

After India set such a low run target, I think India have more chances to win the match, because India's bowling line-up is better than West Indies' bowling. But if the West Indies batsmen can build a great partnership then it will be possible to win the match.

Not having that much expectation that India would win again in a low scoring match, West Indies does tend to struggle against Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja but if they are able to overcome that shortcoming by going full defensive on them and then take the attack the rest of the bowlers, they could win the match as they only need 182 runs to win the match in 50 overs.

[Mahdirakib]

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.

Indian team management has kept Rohit and Kohli on the bench today. They are indeed taking the series very lightly now. But Indian team has performed badly today for their decision. They couldn't even add 100 more runs after losing their first wicket today. They got all out in just 181 runs from 90/1. There will be nothing to surprise if they get a shock today by losing the match.

Its a golden opportunity for West Indies to win an ODI against a strong team. This win will indicate that there is still some strength in West Indies team. West indies cricket is at its worst these days, they were knocked out of ODI world cup for the very first time in the history.

Indian batting was fine until they lost the opener Subman Gill and after that whole batting collapsed like a wall of sand. Sanju Samson and Axer Patel were given chance today but they were not able to play a big innings today. West indies are going fine with chase so far and they must not panic to chase this small target.

To my surprise, West Indies and Charlie did very well in this match. They have somehow got India all out for only 181. Kishan is the only player who had a respectable score. India lost we kept at a regular interval. And that’s why they were unable to even play out the whole 50 overs.

West Indies is chasing right now. they have scored 34 in six overs. West Indies just have to keep wickets in hand. If they do not lose quick wickets this is going to be easy for them. I highly doubt that India is actually going to be able to win this match because they do not have the proper bowling lineup that they probably would have needed to defend this type of total in my opinion.

West indies cricket is at its worst these days, they were knocked out of ODI world cup for the very first time in the history.

Yeh West Indies are going with some really bad time, they were eliminated from some important big competition recently, I heard really about thier legacy they were like monster and undefeatable but now they unable to beat small teams.
Now they have golden opportunity to get back into form because shockingly India were not even able to score a 200 in ODI format which is really disappointed and embarrassing. But any win/lose are part of game any can defeat any big team on current day best performance.
Now WestIndies lose his 4th wickets but they already scored important runs, now the current run rate is quite High compared to required run rate. Hope they will chased down yeh required small target easily as still they have strong power hitter pooran on a crease....

West Indies vs India, in the 2nd ODI India did not play as expected. They managed to play only 40 overs out of 50 overs. Although there was participation of Indian top order batsmen. Against181 West Indies' style of play does not look very good. I think this run is going to be a big target for them. Current run rate is less than the record run rate. Though any big score is not a problem for the West Indies team but they lose most of the matches due to the shortage of wickets. West Indies may be win today's match as the target is poor.

[JSRAW]

West Indies vs India, in the 2nd ODI India did not play as expected.

These kinds of defeats can be a blessing in disguise so i won't read much into it.

But my major worry is team balance. It looks way too messy, even if they win the match. Don't know how many matches India playing before the ODI WC and they are searching for a lot of answers.

Atm only Rohit, Virat, Jadeja and probably Shami are fixed for WC playing XI.

Wow, I really didn't imagine West Indies can back this ODI series. And to be honest, I am in disbelief that West Indies beat India like this this time. And it is also certain that most gamblers have lost in today's betting. Because the main event of this series has taken a complete opposite turn through this match.
Anyway, talking about the performance of the match, West Indies gave an amazing performance today. Specially their all of bowlers did a great role to win this match and The batsmen have also improved a bit from their earlier mistakes. However, West Indies' opening batsmen's weakness still remains, if they can't fix it completely, they will have to wear it in some uncertainty in the upcoming match.
But I did not expect such a performance from India, their two opening batsmen were able to take a partnership but the rest could not do anything in this match. The result of the match went against them today
However, even though I didn't take a bet in today's match, this match really confused me to catch the third ODI match. But I still believe that India can win the ODI series.
