ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

I would like to highlight it was Pakistan Captain Babar Azam, who helped India reach this total of 266 runs. He did a poor captaincy that he bowled his spin bowlers from 15 to 35 over. How can you do that when your pace bowlers are doing the job so well for you? We saw this when the fast bowlers were bought back again, they took wickets again and put the break on the scoring but I think the damage was already done.

Yeah, it was poor captaincy. Pakistan could have finished the game early by taking at least one more wicket. Indian batters were in real pressure but introducing spin did all the trick.

That's where the game drifted a bit from Pakistan otherwise maximum total would've been 200 at best. Still. Having said that 266 is not a big total so there is a fine chance for Pakistan, unless they choke.

Right after a brilliant powerplay bowling spell early top order wickets of Rohit Sharam, Gill and Virat Kholi. Babar Azam Pakistani captain introduced a spinner that not a good decision because india played spin bowling very well. This is main wicket of India and the Partnership of 138 runs between Ishan Kishan and Hardic Pandya in 142 balls helps India to score more than 250 plus. At some time it seemed India crossed 300 but 2 main wickets taken by Shaheen Shah Afridi restricted India score. Now the rain is again started if the rain stops in the next 1 hour then the match will be 20 over and target 155 runs otherwise match time is over.

India managed to score 266 runs in the end so now Pakistan need 267 runs in 50 overs to win the match.  Meanwhile, rain has started on the field due to which Pakistan batting is delayed a bit. But today's match is very exciting but the rain has stopped the excitement a bit.  But how long this rain will last remains to be seen. The match is slowly getting boring now due to this rain. A target of 266 runs is not a bad score.  If India can bowl well, Pakistan will not be able to cross this target

266 runs in an ODI match is not a big score compared to the reputation India has in the game of cricket.  India were expected to give Pakistan a target of more than 300 runs. Pakistan is also not a team to be neglected, they also have a lot of reputation in the game of cricket.  So it will not be impossible for Pakistan to surpass this target. I think Pakistan may be able to surpass this target.  Because Pakistan team also has some good batsmen who will collect some good runs each

I don't think so. I saw the condition of the pitch. I don't think the batsmen have taken much advantage. But giving a target like 280 would have made it a smart target. I don't think they will be able to score 266 runs as bad as India's top order batted. Ishan Kisanevan Hardik Pandya batted well. Due to the good performance of these two, the team managed to collect 266 runs. Otherwise, India would have lost all the wickets before 200 runs. None of the experienced top-order batsmen can stay at the crease for long. However, we cannot see the result of the match due to rain. Had it not rained we would have enjoyed a competitive match.

[Haunebu]

Looks like @JSRAW was bang-on when he stated that this match was India vs Pakistan vs Rain and rain ultimately won at the end of the day. I wish odds were available for rain so that we could bet on it.

Another potentially cracker of a match got washed out. If it wasn't for rain, I think that this match would have gone right down to the wire.

[NomiPk]

The match between Pakistan and India was a draw. Both teams take 1-1 point, No one is the winner of this match. But, India gave a very low target just 267. So, Pakistan can easily chase this target, also People are so excited about the Pakistan vs India match but rain is coming and now people are very disappointed.

I can't understand when ACC knows Sri Lanka's weather so why they selected the host country, Sri Lanka, not for the normal match, The biggest of the cricket world PAK vs IND. Anyways, Pakistan's bowling performance is amazing and we can't see the batting of Pakistan.

[noormcs5]

Yeah, it was poor captaincy. Pakistan could have finished the game early by taking at least one more wicket. Indian batters were in real pressure but introducing spin did all the trick.

No I don't think it's a poor captaincy because there is no other option for him to use because they can maximum use any fast bowler for just 10 overs and if they use most of fast bowler at early stage then probility of smashing spinners in last overs will be very hight as because opponent batter will didn't feel frightened or under pressure to take a charge against them to boost this total score,

Well, how about if the pacers had kept on bowling from the 15th over onwards, they would have managed to take one or two more wickets and it would have been like 150 all out for the Indian team. When you have taken early wickets, you should be aggressive and not let the other team settle down and come back in this game. Believe me, India was going to make 300+ runs but again the fast bowling attack of Pakistan prevented it.

Anyway, its a never ending debate now as the match is drawn so each one of us can argue that we are right because we do not have a winner in this match 

[Minecache]

An innings should be remembered! Hardik Pandya played a solid innings, and it came at a crucial time when India was facing some trouble. He eventually left the crease after adding a solid score on score board. The way he and Ishan played against the Pakistani spin truly impressive. Pandya particularly dominating the Pakistani spinners. Let's see how long last two batsmen survive against Pakistani bowlers.

Losing the first 4 wickets in a hurry should have been a worry among the Indian fans, but from that situation captain Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan changed the picture of the entire match. Although India could not make 300, they dealt well with the Pakistani spinners. A better performance of some other players in the team would have given an early idea about the situation of this match. But in the current position, it cannot be said which team will be ahead. After watching Pakistan's 15 over batting performance, it may be possible to predict the result of the match.

If it was not for Pandya and Ishan Kishan today you would have seen a great Indian collapse once again like we saw in previous champions trophy, obviously if Pandya would have stayed for some more time it would have been a different total for India. Now Rain is going to be a major player again in this match, anything can change the odds of the game. Big breaks in batting can also affect the momentum.

This was definitely sad to see that this match ended in no results. I don’t know if you remember, but when the match started, there was already a rain interruption. From that time, I started thinking that this match might not have a result in the end.

After the fall of quick wickets at the start, India actually made a good score in the end. I think the match could have been really competitive. People are talking about Hardik Pandya, but people are not talking about Ishan Kishan enough. Both of them saved India from a bad and embarrassing situation. And I bet a lot of people are thinking that if this match was held in Pakistan, probably the match could have seen a result

Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya really saved the game for India. They have a partnership of over 138 runs in between and that made the game very much competitive. The target of 266 runs not easy to chase specially against Indian bowling lineup. We have to admit that Pakistan are not good chasers and if rain had not interrupted the game we could have seen a very intense match. Right now it's a win win situation for both teams.

No doubt hardik and Kishan partnership really put India on track rather than this I taught they will hardly score like around 200, but thier partnership really boost them which allow them to scored higher. At one stage of thier partnership I taught they will scored 300 they way they smashed top class bowler but unfortunately after Ishan dismissal things got changed automatically.
Everyone has this own mindset but just like other indian top journalist like vikrant and Akash we believe that it will be an easy victory for them because after rain trouble overs and runs will be turn down lower which really help Pakistan batter to chased it down and make a victory on his name..

[Compromise me]

India managed to score 266 runs in the end so now Pakistan need 267 runs in 50 overs to win the match.  Meanwhile, rain has started on the field due to which Pakistan batting is delayed a bit.

Your are right  India might not have scored so many run if Ishan Kisanevan Hardik and pandya had not mantaince their batting.But I think Pakistan will achieve this target because whenever Pakistan plays against India their style of playing and their enthusiasm increase alot.Due to which Pakistan bowlers also batting well when it their turn to bat.Pakistan batsmen will easily achieve this target but there is a fear that they will not get cold due to rain.

Both the Ishan Kishan and Hardic Pandiya had take responsibility of the team score,if they also out with low run like other players.The total score of India may not cross 150 runs,because the average score of other players was 10-15 runs.So the second half was played without rain,the Pakistan had a good chance of winning the match.From the Afghanistan matches,the Pakistan had a capacity to score the 300+ from 50 overs.So this 267 will not be the big target for the Pakistan.The team India had a good bowling in a recent days,we already see the India bowling in the WI series.To know the exact result we need to wait till the next India vs Pakistan match.

Your point is correct. If the batting partnership of Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan had not lasted for a long duration then Indian team might not have been as successful in scoring 266 runs. If I am correct it was difficult for Indian team for scoring above 200 runs. Their partnership made match at intense level and it was only when match continued without being suspended or delay by rain that we could have seen who will win the match. Considering Pakistan's strong bowling performance one would have expected same batting performence to be impressive. If we look at their previous performance they had out the whole Nepal of team for almost 160 runs.

In the match against Nepal, Pakistan have set a target of 342/6 runs. When Nepal starts their innings it'll be with big pressure which is the thing that made Nepal loss all its wickets for 104 runs. India had batted first and the scoring got to move on the right track when players stand wicket. Much expected match ending without result is really bad. At the critical situation Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya did an awesome job, if not Pakistan's chance of chasing the target could've got easier.

As India started playing and when they hold the wickets and set the run rate so I was thinking that India can easily go to near 350 runs. But after sometime they didn't able to stand on the pitch and have a lot of pressure from Pakistan and they were just able to reach 266 runs. I was thinking that India will playe the 50 overs but Pakistan has a really good bowling line. As you can see only 3 bowlers got all wickets. Like Haris Rauf and Naseem shah got 3 3 wickets and Shaheen Shah Afridi got 4 wickets.
But Unfortunately rain was interfering and match was abandoned.

India managed to score 266 runs in the end so now Pakistan need 267 runs in 50 overs to win the match.  Meanwhile, rain has started on the field due to which Pakistan batting is delayed a bit. But today's match is very exciting but the rain has stopped the excitement a bit.  But how long this rain will last remains to be seen. The match is slowly getting boring now due to this rain. A target of 266 runs is not a bad score.

For the first time in Asia Cup history, all 10 wickets were taken by Pakistani pacers Shaheen Afridi picked 4 wickets by giving 35 in 10 overs, Naseem Shah picked 3 wickets by giving 36 in 8.5 overs and Haris Rauf picked 3 wickets by giving 58 in 9 overs a little expensive haris rouf. India partnership between Ishan Kishan and Pandya is well Ishan scored 82 runs in 81 balls with the bits of help of 9 fours and 2 sixes and Rescue India after Rohit Sharma and Virat Kholi early departed.

Hardik Pandya scored well brilliant innings of 87 runs Unfortunately he missed his well-deserved century by 13 runs short and reached India's total of 267 runs. Rain not stopped after the first inning and Match ended Not a result the fans wanted but how beautiful it was to see Shaheen, Naseem and Haris 27.5 Overs 2 maiden 129 runs and 10 Wickets arguably the best fast bowling trio. No wickets were taken by any spin bowler Pakistan will work on Spin bowling.

Bangladesh has already placed themselves on the edge of the abyss as they started the Asia Cup with a loss against Sri Lanka. Even if we say the situation now, it will not be much wrong that Bangladesh has already fallen into the ditch. With a lot of difficulty, something is hanging on in the mission of the Asia Cup. All hope of Bangladesh ends when they lose their second match against Afghanistan. Despite a crushing defeat against the Afghans, the Tigers must be lost in the abyss. Have to take farewell from the Asia Cup. Standing in such a situation, the red-green representatives are going to go down on a mission to sustain their existence in the Asia Cup against Afghanistan on Sunday (September 3). The match will be played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore at 3:30 pm Bangladesh time. Due to the bad loss against Sri Lanka, there is no other way for Bangladesh to win against Afghanistan. Because Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will be confirmed for super four from B-group if they lose this match. Then the last match of the group stage against the Lankans and Afghans will become only a regulation match.

Yes, every year we miss out on many, many important matches due to rain interruptions. We all expected that the third match of the group stage of this year's Asia Cup between India and Pakistan would be a high voltage match. But that high voltage match was swept away by the rain in a flash, in an instant. Pakistan would have easily won this match against India had the rain not interfered with it. As much as the Pakistan team has performed brilliantly in bowling, there are more surprises in their batting. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we could not enjoy the spectacle

No doubt the match had a sad ending and it was anyone game from thereon had we played the 2nd innings of this match. Both teams could have won that match and hence we cannot say the the rain was lucky for one team or the other.

Coming to the bowling, Shaheen Afridi did display a marvellous and extraordinary bowling spell. I was reading on social media that no bowler in the world had dismissed both Virat Kholi and Rohit in the same innings before, Shaheen did it.

[Out of mind]

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Group B match will be interesting, both teams are good amount of strength. But today's match is Afghanistan's first match and Bangladesh's second match, Bangladesh lost their first match against Sri Lanka. However, according to how well Bangladesh can perform against Afghanistan today, they will be selected for the Asia Cup. And if Bangladesh can't perform well then they must be out of the Asia Cup because they lost the first match against Sri Lanka and if they lose the second match against Afghanistan they will definitely be eliminated. However, today's match will be likely to be won by Bangladesh as they will never want to drop out of the Asia Cup, and accordingly they will play well on the field.  And Bangladesh is likely to win against Afghanistan, but it is difficult to predict which team will win today's match as both teams are in good form at present.

You never know who will win the match, as Bangladesh did not perform well against Afghanistan recently. Of course, Bangladesh wants to win the match, but keep in mind that Bangladesh does not play well when they are under pressure. Toss is a key factors and Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first.

The pitch report says this is a batting-friendly pitch, so I would expect about three hundred runs from Bangladesh so they can compete with them. Anything below three hundred will be bad for Bangladesh. Only five more minutes to go. Let's see what happens.

[Nothingtodo]

Bangladesh has already placed themselves on the edge of the abyss as they started the Asia Cup with a loss against Sri Lanka. Even if we say the situation now, it will not be much wrong that Bangladesh has already fallen into the ditch. With a lot of difficulty, something is hanging on in the mission of the Asia Cup.

Then the last match of the group stage against the Lankans and Afghans will become only a regulation match.

Today's match is very important for Bangladesh and Bangladesh must win today's match even with more NRR. If Bangladesh can beat Afghanistan in today's match and if Sri Lanka can beat Afghanistan in the match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan then Bangladesh will have a chance to qualify. To say that the real task for Bangladesh is to win today's match. However, if Bangladesh's opening pair plays badly, then it becomes very difficult for Bangladesh to form a big partnership with the next batsmen.
