Pakistan Women vs South Africa Women

Today is the first ODI match between these two teams they will play in Karachi, Pakistan. In both of teams we can't predict who will win because this the first ODI match. But if we took a look on T20 match series so we will see that Pakistan won 3 out of 3 matches. And Pakistan preform really well. In the Today match I hope Pakistan will perform well again. And will try to win this series too.

Of course, both teams try to win the series. Pakistan won all the T20 matches so, South Africa women try to improve their batting, bowling, and fielding. In the previous matches, Pakistan women's ODI record was not good, and also South Africa women's record was not good. Pakistan women's T20 performances are very nice but, the ODI was not good.

Disappointing performance continues from SA team after giving away t20 series 3-0. Temba Bavuma gave SA a respectable defeat otherwise it was a disaster from batting line up. Aussies do struggle to chase the target as they were 7 down for just 113 runs but then Marnus Labuschagne and Ashton Agar saved the game for Australia. Aussies have this beauty that even there number 9 can bat.

I must admit that I was stunned to see Australia win this one when it looked like they would lose by a decent margin at one point. Sending Marnus so low down the order was a crazy twist to be honest, but it worked wonders.

A team with capable tail-enders who can bat well is extremely  tough to beat.

The match will start in 4 hours between England vs New Zealand. In T20 New Zealand won 2 matches and England also won two matches. The T20 series was draw. The bad news for New Zealand is that Kane Williamson is injured so that's why they don't play this series.

This is one of the biggest advantages for England. But, the other players from New Zealand are good.

What a lovely win!
I've noticed that Australian players never give up; they keep fighting till the end, and this is the result. Marnus Labuschagne once again showcased his value as a concussion substitute. He played a brilliant innings under immense pressure, and Ashton Agar made a handy contribution too. Congratulations to the Aussies! Marnus and Agar's innings were truly magical. Keep it up.

Of course, the Australian team won an incredible match and they faced many difficulties in the match because they lost 5 wickets at 80 runs only and their chances were less to win this match and after taking 2 wickets a lot of pressure built on them. But this match would be won due to the great batting partnership between Ashton Agar and Marnus Labuschagne. Obviously player of the match goes to Marnus Labuschagne. He scored 80 runs in 93 balls.

Read some weird news about the Asia Cup remaining matches (Super 4 group).

Pakistan vs India match has a reserve day now, in case the Sunday fixture witnesses another washout. The weird part is it's the only match to get reserve day not every Super 4 fixture, not even final.

England vs New Zealand

Match will start in 2 hours. Both teams are same in performance. Because they played Four matches T20 series and both win 2 2 matches means both are on same position. Both will try to win the match. No one can say anything that who will win the match or series it all depends on the performance and the team which will try best will win the match.

They could have just shifted the matches to Hambantota or Dambulla. Hosting this tournament in Sri Lanka, and that too at peak monsoon season was a big mistake. And having no reserve days is even bigger mistake. Good that they added reserve day for the India vs Pakistan match. But even from the beginning, there was not much hype regarding this match. And if there is rain interruption, then the crowd response would be even more lukewarm. One thing is for sure. The TV and OTT rights holders are not going to be happy about all this drama.

The way i see it, it looks like extremely discriminating behavior.

They are basically saying to the rest of the Super 4 qualifiers (SL and Ban) to fuck off and we don't care about you as it's all about India and Pakistan. Just because this particular encounter bring food to the table, it doesn't mean that ACC has to act like this.

It's all about money at the end of the day. Cricket is just business for them which is why this is a smart move financially even if it ends up ticking off some fans in the wrong way.

Personally, I'm just happy that the upcoming India vs Pak encounter has a reserve day after the washout disaster last time around.

No doubt Pakistani women team performance were phenomenal during T20 series as they almost white wash south African team, now it's ODI series so things got change they will get more time to set back and put his team on a track, start of Pakistan were really good as because they took first three important wickets because scoring something significant, but now thier middle order batter set thier position and debit of losing Quick important wicket they maintain thier Run rate which is quite impressive, now they scored 129 but if these batter stay long then we can expect 250+ otherwise they will scored around 200 which will be an easy chase for Pakistani women team if they hold thier nerves at starting over during chase and hold wicket in hands.

England vs New Zealand

......SNIP

1st ODI match already started between England and New Zealand. The match looked so interesting New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl first. New Zealand is trying to check out the batting performance of the England team. If we look at the previous matches of the T20 series both teams had won 2 2 matches and the series ended in a tie. This shows that both teams had similar performance and potential. England team scored 76 runs in 13 overs without losing any wickets. If both batsmen Harry Brook and Dawid Malan continue to perform well and maintain such partnerships England will likely succeed in setting a good target. I think the England team will give 250 or 300 runs in this match

Pakistan Women vs South Africa Women

Today is the first ODI match between these two teams they will play in Karachi, Pakistan. In both of teams we can't predict who will win because this the first ODI match. But if we took a look on T20 match series so we will see that Pakistan won 3 out of 3 matches. And Pakistan preform really well. In the Today match I hope Pakistan will perform well again. And will try to win this series too.

Pakistani women team is more confident because they recently whitewashed South Africa women in the T20 series. Now ODI Series of 3 match start Today at 3:30 Pm. I think Pakistani women perform well some quality players like Nida Dar, Bismaah Maroof and Saida Iqbal have great form if they continue  Pakistan women surely will win this series. South African women tried to win this series because they already lost the T20. South African women team has some great in form players Laura Wolvaardt who Scored well against Pakistani women bowlers

Generally we know South Africa team to be stronger than Pakistan women's team. But Pakistan women team players have shown excellent dominance this season. They played well in the T20 series. And they won the series 3-0. This was a big achievement for the Pakistan Women's team. The 3-0 T20 series win against South Africa was tough. And the Pakistan Women's team will definitely want to continue this dominance in the ODI series as well. However, South Africa women's team is very strong in ODI format. South Africa is currently ranked third in the women's cricket rankings, while Pakistan is ranked tenth. That's why I think the chances of Pakistan Women's team dominating the ODI series is a bit less.

Just like the South African men's team has been losing a lot of their performance, I guess their women's team is also going under such circumstances and we have seen how badly they lost to the Pakistan women's team who are considered to be the weakest in the women's cricket teams.

Anyway in the first ODI, the South Africa team is playing surprisingly well. Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp both have scored 80+ runs and this at the moment seems to be a match winning partnership.

Pakistan women team is no doubt weakest team and no way near to there male team. The main reason for this is that women cricket is not popular and main focus of PCB is on male crikcet only. Its good to see Pakistan women cricket showing some good performance againest a strong south african side. This will be major break through if pak won this series.

[Compromise me]

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.

Australia won the 1st ODI match by 3 wickets and leads the 5 match series by 1-0. South Africa had a poor performance in batting they only scored 222 runs in the loss of all wickets in 49 overs. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma played well inning and scored a century 114 runs unbeaten in 142 balls. Australia chased down the 225 runs target in a loss of 7 wickets in 40.2 overs. 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

South Africa were down too much and the batsmen couldn't score any runs. Only one batsman scored a century and he ended up staying on the field by entering the field as an opening batsman. Vabuma of the South African team scored 114 runs alone but no batsman partnership with him could survive. If Vabuma could have been supported by other batsmen, then the fall of wickets would have been less, so if they could have collected more, the Australian team would have faced a lot of pressure. However, due to the strong Australia team, the South African team was under a lot of pressure in terms of bowling.

South Africa batsman and bowlers did their best but failed because everyone lines that South Africa is a very weak team compared to Australia.At the beginning, it seemed that the south Africa bowler were doing well and putting pressure on the Australian batsmen when the Australian was five out in 80 run .

But it was not like that because David Warner and C.green were back in the team and they would be out first ball, so everyone thought that the south African bowlers were doing very well but it was not like that .

The first ODI match of England vs New Zealand has started and England are batting now. In today's match New Zealand opted to field and England opted to bat and they have already lost 3 wickets. England's batsmen are batting well although they have lost three wickets at the moment but they still have enough wickets in hand. And currently the two batsmen who are at the crease are both batting well especially Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes if they can survive then the team can score well in England. If England can score 270 plus runs in today's match, it will be very difficult for New Zealand to win the match. And England will do well to win today's first match and as England batsmen have scored 165 runs now, they can expect to score more runs in the next round. If England can bat well and improve their performances in today's match then there will be a chance to win the match against New Zealand.

He did what is being suggested by Labuschagne and a solid 100+ partnership between the two have come after Australia's pathetic situation of 113/7. Once again Australia have started its win count.

If not for the new category of super substitute, i really do not think that Australia will be able to recover from 113 for 7, It is one of the worst pitches for any batsman to score freely and if not for the incredible innings from Marnus Labuschagne, there is no way Australia had any chance of winning the match and these substitute will mess up the betting plans and odds, is this option included in the upcoming world cup as well ?

Personally, I'm just happy that the upcoming India vs Pak encounter has a reserve day after the washout disaster last time around.

The financial point is understandable but in such a situation, you don't have to be so obvious that other teams feel left out and start feeling that their existence in the Asia Cup is completely irrelevant.

Reserve days are fine if it's happening for all remaining matches, atm it's too distasteful and tbh i won't feel bad even, if reserve day faces a washout.

New Zealand won the toss they decided to field but so sad they are not able to benefit much. I can see England lost their first wicket by 80 runs and lost 3 wickets in just 101 runs, hell! !

The problem is after that New Zealand bowler could not bowl well, at the end of 46 overs England lost 4 wickets and collected 257 runs. I think they will probably provide a target of 290/300 runs, so it's really a good enough target to fight. Actually Zealand will not be able to win this match if english bowlers can bowl in a controlled manner. Yes I know their batsmen are in good form so the match suerly will be competitive, both teams have equal chances of winning.

New zealand won the toss and decided to field.  But they are not able to benefit much.  England lost their first wicket by 80 runs and lost 3 wickets in 101 runs . But after that the bowlers of new zealand could not bowl well. At the end of 46 overs,  England lost 4 wickets and collected 257 runs. England team will probably provide a target of 290-300 runs. And it's a good enough target to fight. New zealand will not be able to win this match if England's bowlers can bowl in a controlled manner. However  New zealand's batsmen are in good form. The match will be competitive. Both teams have equal chances of winning.

Your guess is correct. England team has given a target of 292 runs. England collected 291 runs losing 6 wickets. Jos Buttler scored the highest for the team, 72 runs. Dawid Malan, Stokes and Livingstone also collected more than 50. Willy's innings of 21 runs off 11 balls was also quite effective. A collection of 291 runs can be considered as a good collection on this pitch. The pitch cannot be said to be conducive to batting. Bowlers are also getting a lot of benefits from this pitch. So both teams still have a chance to win. New Zealand's batsmen have played very well in the last two matches of the T20 series. If New Zealand can put up a similar performance today, they will win today's match.

Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone have all contributed well with the batting with average score above 50. 291 runs is certainly a competitive score. This score will not be easy for the New Zealand team. But if they can perform in accordance with the last T20 match then chasing this score is not difficult. Basically, we can make a prediction depending on the position of the opening batsmen. This is the first match of ODI series as England team lost the T20 series so they must plan to do well in this series. However, the New Zealand bowlers could not make much effect on their bowling they got six wickets. In that contrast England's bowling action is relatively good. But they have to wait for their performance on the field.
