ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Out of mind]

South Africa team had failed completely. Other than Bavuma the top scorer is Jansen scoring 32 runs. Somehow South Africa have reached 200 runs, and I expect Ngidi to give support as Bavuma have come close to century. Already South Africa have lost the T20 series badly and now once again the ODI series going to be a big struggle for the South Africa team. With the best batting order Australia can easily win the match,

After losing the T20 series badly, South Africa are continues their struggle in the first ODI against Australia. This isn't the ideal start for their preparations for the World Cup. However, Bavuma showed his leadership qualities by fighting alongside the tail-end batsmen. He remained unbeaten with an impressive 114 runs!  Bavuma's brilliant innings helped South Africa reach a total of 222-10.

South Africa lost badly in the T20 against Australia, and they could not improve their game. The way South Africa played the first ODI match against Australia today, I feel that they will not be able to win today's match. With so few runs, South Africa will not be able to put pressure on the Australian batsmen, the Australian batsmen are likely to win today's match very easily. However, the batting performance of the South African batsmen today was not very good due to which we scored 222 runs with the loss of all wickets. However, if South Africa could score 300 runs in today's match, then there was a possibility of catching up with Australia. But due to their poor performance in the first ODI match, South Africa may lose this match against Australia as well.

South Africa VS Australia

South Africa batted first in today's match and set a target of 222 runs in 49 overs. South Africa does not think they can win today with the runs they have scored today. If Australia team can perform well in batting then they can win easily by crossing this run.  Australia team now come out to bat. 42 runs in 6.2 overs. So far Australia lost 2 wickets. Australia lost 2 wickets and now under a lot of pressure. I don't know which team will win today's match between the two teams.

Temba Bavuma is the only batsman scoring runs for South Africa and even after he went on to score a century South Africa manage to score 222 runs only, granted the pitch is not that great for batting, it is not a competitive total unless South African bowlers pick wickets at regular intervals and stifle the Australian batting lineup.

Australia already lost 2 wickets and on top of that Cameron Green is back in the pavilion for treatment as the ball hit the helmet, looks like South Africa will take the match close with the way they are bowling.

Even South Africa fail to have any solid target but resistance from Bavuma is impressive and his century going to help South Africa for having good chance in this match because while Australia chasing this target 223 already lost their four top order batsmen with Cameroon Green is not available due to retired hurt, so things are looking good for the South Africa Rabada and Ngidi both destroy Australian in their early overs.

Right now, we have Alex Carey and Marcus Stoinis at crease with after 9 overs Australia having 60 for 4 it's very interesting situation can South Africa won their first game on this Australian tour or Australia will keep their winning streak all is going on right now in this interesting match.

Absolutely loved it. In the first ODI match, Bavuma was the standout for South Africa. His performance was nothing short of fabulous. It felt like a one-man show against Australia, and Bavuma's innings today held great significance in setting a competitive total.

Australia has already lost four wickets while chasing 222, and it seems like the South African bowlers won't make it easy for them to take this match away.

In today's match batting performance of the South African team was not too brilliant because they set only a 222 runs target This was too low and any team in the Asia Cup can easily chase down this target. Now its batting was already over and T. Bavum's performance was brilliant and he scored 114 runs in 142 balls. Due to his performance South Africa was able to set a target of 222 runs otherwise all teams would have been out below 150 runs. But the Australia team is also under a lot of pressure because they lost 5 wickets at 80 runs only. I think this match will be intense so let's see at the end of this match who will win.

Although 222 is easily chasible in ODI especially when team like Australia batting which has ability to chase even in t20 but today match is looking in the favor of South africian team. All top Australian batsmens are out without scoring big and now full pressure on the Aussie. In 12 overs Australia made 72 runs. The run rate is good enough but they lost 5 wickets which is big trouble for Australian team and now if they lost two more wickets then very low for Australia win. If Australia make partnership here then match will become tough because score is not big, only problem is wickets and Aus should not take any risk here in this stage .

[Compromise me]

South Africa VS Australia

I am very interested in today's South Africa vs Australia ODI match. I haven't seen a better performance from South Africa in the T20 series. South Africa lost all three matches in the series. Not that South Africa played too badly. Australia's players are in very good form right now because of South Africa's defeat.

The series is important for Australia. Australia will play a series against India after this series before the World Cup. As Australia aim to become world champions, they need to continue their good performance in the ODI format from now on. Players have to come up with consistency of performance. Otherwise, it will not be easy to maintain consistency in every match of the World Cup. I think Australia will start the series with a win against South Africa today.

The Match between south Africa and Australia has started. Australia win the toss and decided bowling Australia did very well to decide the bowling as night fielders can have difficulty fielding. This match is very important for both team so both will try their best to win the match but Australia has more chance to win. And if we look at the previous matches of  south Africa, they did not perform well in any of the matches . Australia is A very strong team and David Warner and Cameron Green are back in the team to make their team even stronger.

South Africa's performance is not looking good they scored 70 runs in 18 overs but lost 3 wickets. So looking at their game, it seems that they will not be able to give Australia a target of more than 200 runs. However, as Australia is good at cricket, if South Africa set a target of 250 runs, I think they are capable of surpassing that. none of the South African players seem to be playing well. So South Africa is very likely to lose today's match

You were expecting 250 score, I had assumed they  would not even make 200 score.But T .Bavanm played a long inning and scored 114 runs.If he had not continued his innings  south Africa would have struggled to reach 200 runas well.

Australia opened the batting scoring 80 runs in 12 overs with the loss of five wickets.If you look at the score ratio, Australia needs five runs in every over which Australia can  make easily score, but the South African bowlers are putting a lot of pressure on Australia batsmen.Due to which this match can be reserved at any time .

Australia is at its worst situation losing the 6^th wicket. As of now Australia have scored 97 runs in 14 overs. As said the run rate is well maintained, but the loss of wickets keeps the team at the edge of losing the match. Cameron Green had retired hurt, and his comeback might help in scoring little runs. Anyhow South Africa's winning probability have reached 70% from 15%

Wao what a drama is going on, I can't believe that it's Australian real team, I taught south Africa were playing with a junior street boys. I am really shocked how south Africa comeback stronger like this after a brutal bad defeat from them in T20 series. Now Australia lose most of his important batter wickets before done something significant during such a crucial situation where team really need them.
Any way Australian side lose 7th wicket while the only hope from them just Marnus Labuschagne who can be the game changer and can turn the entire match but currently the important things that they should follow is to just stick on the ground and don't lose wickets because they have tons of over left but to score just 130, which can be done if they hold thier nerves make a significant partnership.

I am very surprised by Australia's batting today. I saw Australia's performance in the T20 series, Australian batsmen have batted well in all three matches, and the team won all three. I think this is why Australia decided to field today after winning the toss, however Australia batted very badly today. South Africa has given a target of only 223 runs, although Australia's run rate is more than 6.5, the team has lost wickets very quickly. The team lost 6 wickets before collecting 100 runs, lol. After 22 overs, Australia's collection is 149/7, they still needs 74 runs to win, it doesn't look like they will win miracally. Labuschagne remains unbeaten on 38 off 29 balls, and Aston Agar scored 20 runs. The way the South African bowlers are bowling, Australia is probably going to lose today.

look like SA will loss today match too. They lost all three t20 games. Today at one time it was looking that SA will win thid match easily when 5 wickets gone for 74 but Marnus Labuschagne fifty and Ashton Agar contract 28 runs contribution change the momentum of the game. 51 runs now required in 22 overs. SA have only one chance to book their first win, takes a wicket of both these two well set batsmen otherwise match is already now in the hand of Australia team. I am not seeing any top bowler to put some pressure. They took wickets but gives so many runs. Will there be any drame or Australia will win easily?

It should not be said that Australia has no chance of winning. Labuschagne is batting very well. And Labuschagne is assisted by Ashton agar. Australia has already collected 80 runs from this pair. Labuschagne was unbeaten on 53, and Ashton Agar made 27. Ashton Agar is batting very carefully. Australia need 50 more runs to win in 21 overs. Australia will win this match if they are able to stay at the crease. Labuschagne is batting very well. If Labuschagne does not take the wicket of South Africa, there is no chance of victory. South Africa is going to lose the match after bowling well at the beginning of the innings. The match turned out to be very exciting. Right now I think both teams have equal chances to win.

South Africa is truly unlucky. Based on the performance at the beginning of the innings, now Australia could've ended the innings losing all the wickets. Labuschagne withstands wicket and scored 52* runs and Ashton Agar is giving good support scoring 27* runs. If the scoring continues this way Australia will win the match before 35 overs, because Australia have the run rate of 6 rpo whereas the requirement is 2.38 rpo. Lets see if South Africa can make it their match or Australia wins the match.

The South African bowlers were deadly from the start of the second innings. The batsmen of the Australian team could not stand in front of the South African bowlers. It seemed that the entire game was taken over by South Africa. But later Australian team batsmen Labuschagne and Aston Agar came and turned the tide of the game a bit. Now the victory of the Australian team depends on these 2 players. Now if Labuschagne and Aston Agar can hold on to the innings. Then Australia will have a chance to win this match.

Labuschagne Ashton Agar is batting responsibly and Australia are slowly building their way to victory. Australia need only 15 more runs to win in 13 overs. Australia lost 7 wickets and collected 208 runs. Labuschagne remained unbeaten with 76 runs and Ashton Agar with 35 runs. Australia will be able to build such a wonderful partnership in the eighth wicket pair that the South African players probably never imagined. Australia will probably face no more problems in winning the match. After winning the T20 series, Australia will dominate and win the ODI series as well.

From Australia Marnus Labuschagne scored unbeaten 80 runs contributions for this victory. South Africa just short 50 runs in target they should improve their batting performance

[Haunebu]

Who knows? It might be the opposite. Bangladesh may win the match against Sri Lanka as Bangladesh is under pressure at this moment.

Yeah. It's completely possible because Bangladesh is one of those teams which regularly upsets the favorites. Sri Lanka is primarily depending on Pathirana and Theekshana to restrict the opposing team's total.

On the other hand, Bangladesh continues depending on Shakib who keeps performing consistently in the ODI format. Let's see who wins!

One of the main contributors to Australia's win today was Marnus Labuschange(80*) who came on as a substitute for Cameron Green. However, he was supported by Aston Ager's 48* which was the highest run of his ODI career. Today, Labuschange and Agar led the team to the port of victory by playing a Test-like style of play in colorful clothes. However, when the Australian team, which lost seven wickets for 113 runs, was facing a huge disaster, if this long partnership had not played in the Test style and played in an aggressive manner, Australia might have been all out before 200 runs. However, Australia won by 3 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.
