ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[HelliumZ]

The biggest match starts in a few hours, Pakistan vs India. The people are so excited about this match, until not the final. If the rain comes so ACC decides to give a reserve day on 11th September. This is good but the rain prediction is also on the 10th and 11th of September, This is so bad. Anyways, Jasprit Bumrah playing today's match. But, Pakistan also had Baber Azam.

India and Pakistan's first match in the Asia Cup was tied for points due to rain, but today's exciting match between India and Pakistan has the crowd excited. As a Pakistan supporter I can't predict which team will win today's match. Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Imam ul Haq these three batsmen are performing very well in this year's Asia Cup. Again, Shahan Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rouf created a lot of discussion in Pakistan's bowling line.

Well, to your disappointment, the India team as usual is the favorite to win this match too. And you can check it yourself when you see the stakes for both teams. India has the odds of 1.60 while the bookies have given odds to Pakistan in excess of 2.0 which shows that they are not the favorites today.



I can understand your love for your country, but if you bet on the match be careful to see the ground realities and then wisely choose the team.

By looking at betting site odds you cannot consider the quality of the game as this bet usually depends on the win-loss statistics of the previous matches. India is considered favorite in today's match as India has more wins than Pakistan considering the previous matches. However, even if India is considered as favorite in today's statistics, Pakistan is more favorite than India. However, if we consider the recent matches in India, there would not have been so much variation in betting on gambling sites. 
Although there is only a short time left for the match between the two teams, it will be clear which team is the real favorite when the game starts.

Glad to see that Australia finally gave a place in the team for Marnus Labuschagne in the ODI team and he scored another match changing century along with David Warner and a century from Warner proved that he will be a fixture till the World Cup. South African bowlers we taken apart as the target for them is 392 and this is going to be another huge loss for them before the World Cup.

Thanks for the concussion substitute rule. His performance will give a headache to the selectors.

Their batting was flawless but the big talking point should be their bowling card. There were no Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood in the playing XI.  Nathan Ellis, Sean Abbott and Aaron Hardie all are new, it tells us about their domestic setup.

Although there is only a short time left for the match between the two teams, it will be clear which team is the real favorite when the game starts.

Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first, and Rohit Sharma said if we won the toss, we would choose to bat first. India's batting is good and bowling is not good.

So, I think that's why India wants to bat first and Pakistan's bowling is amazing and batting is also amazing but bowling first was a good decision from Babar Azam because, in the previous match, bowling was lucky for Pakistan. Let's see what happens in this time.

Australia new players are playing well , They proved their selves in both bowl and bat. In the previous match Marnus Labuschagne 124 of 99 was special one and now he will be given more opportunities and probably I think that he will be given opportunity to play in world cup.
Australia new domestic bowlers are also doing well job especially Ellis which is diamond for Australia team, taking wickets in every match to put pressure on opponent team. Generally it's not easy to go with new players but Australia players proved that they could beat any time with new team also

Indian batsmen's performance is good, but bowlers' performance is not good. On the other hand, it would not be wrong to say that Pakistan's current bowling line-up is the best bowling line-up in the world. Bowlers like Haris Rouf, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled brilliantly. However, Indian batsmen are very experienced. They have the ability to deliver big targets if they stay at the crease.

India's two openers Gill and Rohit Sharma have started well. While Rohit Sharma batted with more responsibility, Gill was brutal from the start of the innings. India collected 23 runs in 3 overs. Rohit Sharma scored 10 runs off 11 balls and Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 13 runs off 7 balls. Let's see how many runs India's innings stops.

India is playing very aggressively and positively today and both the openers are looking to score runs quickly. Due to the positive start from both openers, they are able to survive the spell from Shaheen Shah Afridi.

38-0 after the end of 6th over, is a very good score and seeing the wicket today, it seems that India will be able to score over 300+ runs. No bowler from the Pakistan team is able to put any impact on the match. Also, there have been some bad fielding by the Pakistan players today which have helped the Indian cause.

India's opening pair is playing great. Shubman Gill is resisting Pakistan's experienced bowlers very well. He scored 41 runs off just 30 balls. And Rohit Sharma collected only 10 runs off 24 balls. Shubman Gill's strike rate is more than 130. He is batting well. India collected 53 runs without losing any wicket in 9 overs.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam used all his 3 pace bowlers in this 9 overs. But still can't take any wicket. Pakistani bowlers are bowling well but they are not succeeding. Also Pakistan's fielding is not good today. They missed several easy fieldings. A fielding miss is very risky in such an important match.

The way India are batting, the team will set a target of at least 350 runs today. I am very disappointed with Pakistan's performance. Bowlers are giving lots of runs. Fielders are missing a lot of fielding. At the same time the bowler is giving a lot of extra runs. India's two openers collected 103 runs in 14 overs. They scored an average of 7.35 runs per over. There is no doubt that Pakistan's bowlers are very talented. But the way Indian batsmen are batting is really impressive. Rohit Sharma batted very carefully at the beginning of the innings. His strike rate was between 55-70. But now Rohit Sharma's strike rate is like 120. India's captain is batting brilliantly. It will be much more difficult for Pakistan to win this match if the target goes beyond 300. India will set a target of more than 350 today if Pakistan fails to take wickets.

Shadab Khan have broken the opening partnership between Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. India lost its first wicket at 121 runs. Rohit Sharma started slow and blasted in between scoring half century and went for an long off short which didn't go as predicted. Ball being caught by Faheem Ashraf and his innings came to an end at 56 runs(49). Virat Kohli have come to the crease and a 100 runs from him will make him reach a new milestone of 13k runs to his career. Soon after the wicket of Rohit Sharma, the wicket of Shubman Gill have fallen to the ball of Shaheen Afridi. Anyhow the contribution from Shubman Gill 58 runs have helped good. Actually Shaheen Afridi was brought into the spell to pressurise Virat and Shubman have fallen to it.

At the start of the match Pakistan bowlers did not get any wickets because the pitch is support to batsmen and pace bowling in favour of India. India had full control of the match in the 16th over score 118 runs. Pakistan bowlers also brilliant comeback against India loss in 2 sets of bastmen Rohit Sharma who scored 56 runs in just 49 balls and Shubman Gill played a brilliant innings and well deserved fifty.

Shadab khan is expensive in first 2 overs concided 30 runs but in 3rd over he get wicket of Rohit Sharma by a brilliant catch from Faheem Ashraf. After that over Shaheen Shah got the wicket of Shubman Gill. The current score of India is 140 runs in loss of 2 wickets in 23 overs. Virat Kholi and Kl Rahul are playing these two batters partnership is very important If India sets a good total of 300 plus then it's difficult for Pakistan

Rain have interrupted. India have scored 147/2 after 24.1 overs. The weather condition was perfect at the start and all of tha sudden rain have showered. The pitch have been covered by the ground staff. Till now India is doing good, and things could change as the nature of the ground could vary. As of now the intensity of the rain have increased and the delay could last for little time.

Pakistan bowlers were predicted to take early wickets. Things didn't work as predicted and the Indian batsmen batting well  have increased the pressure on the bowlers.

Well, we have full one day reserve for the match, so i am sure both teams will get to play 50 overs in two days' time and there will be a result. So this time, no team should think that if their performance was not good, the rain may save them.  This is not going to happen in this India Pakistan match.

Till now, i think India has an upper hand in the match but they need to keep scoring without losing wickets. The moment the Indian start losing more wickets, there will be a dent on the scoring and Pakistan can take advantage of the situation. Ideally, India will want to score over 300 runs today in order for them to bowl freely in the 2nd innings.

Rain is not backing down whenever there is a match between India and Pakistan. The best attraction of cricket in the Asia Cup is when these two teams compete against each other. The last match was abandoned due to rain and this time the situation does not seem favorable. But Pakistan had a good advantage in the last match but they are far behind in this match. On the other hand, India already have scored 147 runs with the loss of just 2 wickets. If they can play the whole innings they have a chance of a big score and I think India will win today's match. But the main question is whether the streak will end or today's match will also be finished with no result.

Rain interrupted Pakistan vs India match. India batting very well they scored 147 runs in a loss of 2 wickets in 24.1 overs. If no more play is possible today India batting will start from 24.1 overs tomorrow. I think the 20-over chase is possible tonight India won't bat again and Pakistan will be given a target in 20 overs to chase because The reserve day is only applicable when it rains for the whole day and 20 overs can't be possible. The time of rain will decide the reserve targets if it lasts for 3 hours then the reserves targets will be 181 in 20 overs or 206 in 24 overs for Pakistan. I think The umpires will do their best to finish the match tonight.

The match was delayed due to rain, That is very disappointing news for Pakistan and India. Now, the rain has stopped so, the match starts in a few moments. The reserve day is also had for this match.

Anyway, the start of the Indian team is very good for India. What an amazing of Rohit Sharma and Shabum Gill. But, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Shadab Khan broke their partnership.

[synchronym]

India-Pakistan face to face once again in the fight for supremacy in Asia with the fear of rain in mind.  After the toss, the high voltage match started on the field. However, during the 25th over of India's innings, torrential rain came to a standstill. As a result, the umpires were forced to stop the game. If India does not get a chance to bat after the rain, then Pakistan should be given a minimum of 20 overs to determine the result of the DL method match. In this case Babar Azam's target will be 181 runs.

[rojan]

Today 2nd ODI match of England vs New Zealand team has started. The game will be played in 34 overs today due to rain. England team now come out to bat. England scored 28 runs in 7.2 overs. Now England team is under a lot of pressure after losing 4 wickets. New  The batsmen of the Zealand team started to perform well in the match. England team batsman Ben Stokes was dismissed for 1 run in 10 balls. Ben Stokes batted very badly in today's match. Joe Root was dismissed for 0 runs in 2 balls. England may not score more than 150 runs today.
