ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Patrol69]

India has done a great batting performance today and already they have batted brilliantly and collected a good score. India have already lost 4 wickets where they have scored 280 runs in 43 overs, have scored better runs today than in the previous two matches, and now there is a chance of more runs in the remaining overs. The two Indian batsmen who scored the highest runs for the team especially Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan had outstanding batting performances. Currently in the batting stage there are two great batsmen Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya who can bat brilliantly and if they stay at the crease they will score 300 plus runs today. With only seven overs to go they must score a good run and India have batted brilliantly to win today, hopefully they can win the series today.

After a long time I saw a big run in the Indian opening pair. In the third ODI match against West Indies, India managed to put together a huge partnership of 162 runs in the opening pair. Building on a big partnership of 162 runs by the opening pair, India are now at 295 after 45 overs where they have lost four wickets to make 295 runs. 
Today's match can be India's as India are batting well from the start. If India can do well in bowling as well as batting, India will definitely win this match.

Still with 5 overs left to play in the first innings as Hardik Pandya and SKY are on the wicket, I think 70 to 80 runs can be scored in the last five overs. If India can score 70 runs in the last five overs, the target for West Indies will be 380 plus.

Team India set a huge target of 352. Today we don't see bad batting from Indian batsmen like last two matches. Every batsman in India batted very responsibly today. Every batsman in the squad except Raturaj Gaikwad batted well today. But no batsman can score a century today. Ishan Kishan had 77 runs, Shubman Gill had 85 runs and Hardik Pandya played an excellent innings of 70 runs off 52 balls. There is no possibility of the Indian team losing in this match. West Indies batting line-up is not very experienced right now. They will not be able to collect 352 runs against experienced Indian bowlers.

[JSRAW]

Big total for sure but i feel the Indian approach between 30-40-ish overs was kinda timid.

They were quite conservative with their shots, especially the set batter like Gill (It would be suicidal against big teams). Hardik did his thing but not sure if he fits in the anchor role, we already have Koach for this.

India mustered perhaps only 49 runs in the 30-40 overs. These 10 overs were very important. The team should have averaged at least 6 per over. However, they have given a huge target of 352.

West Indies are going to concede a humiliating defeat today. My guess is that West Indies are going to lose today's match by at least 150 runs. They lost the wicket of Brandon King in the first over. Brandon King was unable to collect any runs from the 5 balls he faced. Mukesh Kumar took the first wicket.

India vs West Indies

In the third and final match of the series, the Indian team is going to face the West Indies shortly after. I decided to bet on India to win even if they lost the last match.
Although India won the first match, their batsmen's performance was not good. They lost 5 batsmen to collect only 115 runs. And in the second match, the Indian team had to lose due to bad batting. However, they did not have two experienced batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in their squad. Kohli and Rohit may be kept in the squad instead of Axar Patel and Samson in today's match. I expect India to win today. They will definitely not want to lose the series.

Indian openers Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are destroying the West Indies bowlers today. We will not see the target of low score in this match as in the last two matches. And the way the two Indian openers are batting now, no doubt India will set a target of at least 350 runs today. India did not lose any wicket in 19 overs. And they collected 141 runs. The team is collecting an average of 7.2 runs per over. Ishan Kishan remained unbeaten with 76 runs and Shubman Gill 54 runs. I expect Team India to give more than 350 target today. But in the past matches, we have seen that even though the two Indian openers batted well, the other batsmen could not maintain consistency. I hope we will not see that today.

England's two openers managed to get off to a good start. But the subsequent batsmen are not able to maintain consistency. Ishan Kishan returned to the fold with a 64-ball 77. Raturaj Gaikwad was then dismissed for just 8 runs off 14 balls. He could not play well. But Shubman Gill is still at the crease. Sanju Samson has already collected 18 runs off 8 balls. And Gill remained unbeaten on 61 off 64 balls. India collected 175 runs in 25 overs. Quite a good collection. But the batsmen must try to stay at the crease. India's team will not be able to collect 300 runs if they lose wickets very quickly.

India added Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to the squad for today's match as well. They relied on the squad for the second match. And the Indian players did not let us down today. They scored 351 runs with great batting. The two openers got off to an excellent start. And all the batsmen in the squad tried to bat well.

Apart from the batsmen, Indian bowlers are also bowling very well today. In three overs, they sent the two West Indies openers Brandon King and Kyle Mayers to the dressing room. And within 7 overs, West Indies lost three of their key batsmen. Shai Hope is out after collecting 5 runs. West Indies collected 17 runs in 7 overs. They are not able to collect even 3 runs per over.

Looks like you mistyped, you mentioned about the India's match that is ongoing and not England's  .
After some terrible batting performance from India, they looked set for a huge total in the series decider. The openers gave a century run partnership and Shubman Gill is still in the crease and looks like he is going to score another century and Sanju Samson is playing with full freedom as he smacked 3 sixes in his short innings and hopefully he will go on to score a big one.

I definitely think @Minor Miner was talking about India and he must have mistyped.

India performed really well in the first innings. They have put on a very big score of 351/5. West Indies, he’s going to need more than seven runs per over from the start of the match. This is going to be a tough job for the West Indies to actually do. There is a big chance that India is going to win this match. India should not lose to be honest after giving such a big target. The batting performance from India was really good today. Looks like they have learned their lesson from the second match.

West Indies already started the chase. They have scored only 17 runs in seven overs. They have also lost three wickets already. So I don’t see how they are going to make a comeback in this match. This is definitely going to be a win for India.

West indie would be happy that they have atleast won one ODI and are not whitewashed in ODI series. No Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli today but Indian batting was well prepared for today's game. An opening stand of 143 in just 20 overs led the foundation of huge target. WI have already lost 3 wikcets at a score of 29 runs in 10 overs. An easy win for India today that will also let them win the series.

West Indies need to play better. Being the leader of cricket in the past and now they're completely different. India played very carefully and it is good that each and every player contributed good other than Gaikwad. Big win to win the ODI series. Shardul Thakur and Mukesh Kumar have bowled well and restricted West Indies team by 151 runs. West Indies used to be good in T20 cricket and lets see if they can play good in the 5 match series.

[ZAINmalik75]

Yeh it's necessary win for India because due to recent defeat everyone pointing out figure on them for thier one of the worst defeat against a recent bad performer team, today from first ball they were confident stick with thier play and some long significant start partnership which set a rythm which Carrey out by upcoming batters after every dismissal, most of indian batter give those best but unfortunately none of them able to score his century,
While during target defend the new boy Kumar done some majestic performance by taking out early first wickets which definitely executed pressure on upcoming batters which unfortunately they can't manage and lose so quick wickets before some significant runs but it's good for westindies to save himself from whitewash and it's good for India too to beat their opponents brutally in order to shut the hatters mouth

India's team showed its power show in the last ODI match. They gave a huge target to West Indies team with its excellent performance. And now they have won the series. And tomorrow they will enter in the new phase means these two teams will start its T20 series. And we can't say what will happen? West Indies looks better in T20 matches but don't say anything now.

It does not look like India is playing an away series, and also, it does not look like West Indies is playing in their home ground. The games are not even competitive enough. Both teams play with young players. West Indies won the 2nd game because of India's batting failure. But they came back strongly in the 3rd game and scored 350.

350 is the highest score in this series so far. Rest two games were low scoring. India won both the Test and ODI series comfortably. The T20I series is ahead, but I believe West Indies is a strong side in T20I. I hope we will see some competitive cricket there.

You are right. This match does not look like a West Indies home match. West Indies lost the home match by 200 runs. Indian players are getting facilities at the West Indies pitch. When the Indian batsmen batted it felt like a batting-friendly pitch. On the other hand, when the batsmen of West Indies batted, it seemed that the pitch was bowling friendly. We saw the strange batting of the West Indies players.

After a poor performance in the previous two matches, such a comeback was much needed for India. India won this match by 200 runs. As a result, the confidence of the players increased. The team will perform in the Asia Cup after a few days. It will then play the ODI World Cup later this year. Continuity in the ODI format is very important for the Indian players right now.

@BALIK this was indeed a great comeback by the young Indian team after they had faced a humiliating defeat in the second ODI but I hope that they don’t get carried away by this victory because defeat in the second ODI showed that they yet have to improve a lot if they wish to beat big team’s like Australia and England. Lastly this match also showed that the team can do well without Kohli and Rohit and I believe that their time is almost up and soon they’ll be dropped from the ODI format permanently.

[Sithara007]

The selectors will be confused, especially w.r.t the batsmen. Samson scored a fifty after so many chances and now his fans would demand his inclusion in the playing XI for the next two years. But there is no spot available for him. If Samson need to be included, then Suryakumar Yadav need to be dropped. A lot of people want the selectors to take this decision, but personally I believe that SKY is much more consistent when compared to Samson. BTW, Pant may struggle to get back to the XI, once he completely recovers from injury.

Sky's average is 24 after playing 26 matches and Sanju's 55 after featuring in 13 matches.

Despite that Sanju would be lucky if he makes it into the WC squad because there are too many WK batters. Kishan seems to be doing okay and if KL Rahul is fit then he will easily walk in the team as a middle order WK batter. His T-20/Test form is gone for good but he performed fairly well in ODI (middle order).

It was the opportunity availed for the young Indian team. It looked like the team gonna mess up, based on the poor performance coming from the players in the first two matches. In the final ODI, everyone played in a much responsible manner. This is a must win series to hold the confidence before the Asia Cup, World Cup and the series against Ireland and Australia in the upcoming months.

A significant victory! Third ODI win was a true example of teamwork, as every department contributing their part. In the third ODI, India achieved their highest total ever without any player scoring a century individually. This series win will surely give a boost for their upcoming tournaments. However, I am concerned about West Indies' performance. They are simply not up to par in terms of competitiveness and going through a tough phase, as they are winless fifth consecutive ODI series.

West Indies is also out of the world cup. That's why I said that it never looked like they were playing on their home grounds. West Indies is a good side in T20Is. I hope they will try to win the series against India. But India is one of the champions as well. I heard one thing that West Indies players don't want to play for their country.

Most of the players prefer playing T20I tournaments and leagues like IPL, LPL, BPL etc. There is a reason behind it. I heard that the West Indies cricket board is full of corrupted people. They don't want to give proper salaries to their players. Who knows the truth? I heard those things from our local media.

India's victory in the third ODI was quite likely before going into the field but we didn't think that India would win so quickly and by such a margin against the West Indies. Team India secured a big win by 200 runs with 15 overs in hand against West Indies. After losing the toss against West Indies, India came into bat where they were able to score 351 runs for 5 wickets in the allotted fifty overs, India scored 351 runs in the first innings and the target level for West Indies stood at 352 runs. Set to bat with a target of 352 runs, the West Indies lost wickets from the start and as a result, wickets fell at regular intervals, they managed to stay on the wicket for 35 overs and managed to score only 151 runs against India as India secured an easy 200-run victory. Shubman Gill was selected as Man of the Match and Ishan Kishan was selected as Man of the Series.
