ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[3kpk3]

As usual, another match looks like it might go down the drain literally all thanks to rainfall. Tiring! Sucks to see 2 clashes between these big teams get affected coincidentally in this manner.

I hope there won't be any rain issue on the reserve day at the very least. Let's see what happens.

[Learn Bitcoin]

India really are in good position at the moment. Indian openers have done what was required by giving a 100 runs stand. There is reserve day for this match also, which means this game will very likely to be completed. Rain today is blessing for Pakistan as Indians aiming to score somewhere around 300.

I do not see any reason to say it's a blessing for Pakistan, as the match will continue tomorrow from the same position. India will start batting 24.1 overs, and the match will start at 15:00 GMT. BTW, ACC did not gave anyone the reserve day for the super matches except for India-Pakistan match. What is the reason behind that? Business? Of course Business matters!

When it comes to a controlling board, they cannot do this injustice to other teams. There was no reserve days for other matches except for the final match. No board speaking about it. Bangladesh coach Hathu said it's not fair.

Nowadays everything becomes business and India vs Pakistan is big rivalry and the same is being marketed in all possible ways. Already a match missed and considering the same reserve day is allocated for today's match. If India had agreed to play on Pakistan, this problem couldn't have come. PCB might've got good income and the audience might've not suffered. Atleast then onwards while organising big tournaments, the organising committee should take prior analysis about the weather forecast. Already the weather condition might've been known and why they choose Sri Lanka.

If there was a final match then of course reserve day would have been fixed, but Super Four has no reserve day as per law. India and Pakistan are two very strong teams which is why the cricket board will not talk about them. As the match was stopped due to rain, the match will be restarted from next day. In the past matches between Pakistan and India were postponed only between these two teams.
However, with a one-day opportunity, the Indian team can take their run target higher.
Because the Indian team can gain experience by targeting Pakistan's bowling, but the victory in this match will be in favor of the Indian team. As the opening batsmen performed well the number of wickets lost was less. However, if Pakistan wants to win this match, then they must knock down the wickets of the Indian team.

The second match between India vs Pakistan was abandoned today due to rain. A reserve day was kept for the match between India and Pakistan in view of rain, since there was a reserve day arrangement, the match will resume on the next day from where it ended today from 24.1 overs tomorrow. India got off to a great start against Pakistan today. The opening pair batted brilliantly and after they got out, Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul took the lead. So far India is in a good position. Had it been a complete game today, India would have scored around 350 runs against Pakistan. Hopefully both India and Pakistan teams will start well tomorrow and we hope that the match will not be abandoned due to rain tomorrow.

[Cheema02]

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.

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.

India vs Pakistan Day 1 was called off due to rain. India will resume from 24.1 overs with a full 50 overs match. India scored 147 runs in the loss of 2 opener wickets Rohit Sharma at 56 runs and  Shabum Gill at 58 runs in 24.1 overs. India batters perform very well run rate is 6.08. Play resumes tomorrow and the Pakistan bowler bowl the remaining 25.5 overs. If India plays a complete over and sets a big total of 320 runs for Pakistan. Then India have a good chance to win this match but tomorrow is also raining predicted If play is not possible due to rain then both Pakistan and India team will give 1, 1 point.

New Zealand vs England
New Zealand won the toss and elected to ball first. England is performing very well, and made 181 runs  with fall of 6 wickets  in 29.4 overs. Joss butter and Moen Ali performed very well. Joss butter scored 30 runs by facing 25 balls and Moen Ali made 33 runs in 32 balls. Livingstone is top scorer in this inning. Trent boult got 3 wickets, Henry, sentner, and southee got 1 wicket. I hope that England will win at the end because it has attacking bowlers. And it top class team of World.

[Gladitorcomeback]

Another rain affected match, England and New Zealand reduced to 34 overs each and England is struggling at 103 for the loss of 6 wickets and looks like New Zealand will win the match here unless we see some extraordinary bowling performance from England. England lost the first match even they scored a substantial good total and New Zealand chased them with ease and with a struggling performance in this match, they will lead the series 2-0 after the match.

A match that seemed to be in New Zealand's hands was suddenly turned out to be a good match. look at the score board, 55 for 5 and then Moeen ali and butler carry team to hundred and then remarkable batting by Livingston and curan contribution help Eng team to set target of 226. Trent boult picked up early wickets to put pressure. Southe picked up important wicket of Moeen which is very dangerous in finishing overs.

NZ lost first wicket earlier but will young playing so aggressively. now 200 runs required in 29 overs which could be chased easy. England have to search for some quick wickets here to put pressure back on batsmens. If Nz win this match then high chances that they will win the ODI serious also.

India vs Pakistan Day 1 was called off due to rain. India will resume from 24.1 overs with a full 50 overs match. India scored 147 runs in the loss of 2 opener wickets Rohit Sharma at 56 runs and  Shabum Gill at 58 runs in 24.1 overs. India batters perform very well run rate is 6.08. Play resumes tomorrow and the Pakistan bowler bowl the remaining 25.5 overs. If India plays a complete over and sets a big total of 320 runs for Pakistan. Then India have a good chance to win this match but tomorrow is also raining predicted If play is not possible due to rain then both Pakistan and India team will give 1, 1 point.

Yes the score of India was good in the position where the match stopped. If second match resume tomorrow then if India perform well as they do today so they can target upto 350 runs and it will be hard for Pakistan to win the match.

Pakistan should then show better performance in order to achieve the target and they should take wickets at start with Good balling. So let's see that which team will perform better because those who play well will win the match.

This is really very frustrating, to be honest, When you know the whole weather forecast of the country shows rainy for a specific time, how can you schedule such an important trophy in that country at that particular time? If you see the stadium today it was almost at 40% occupancy, which is very frustrating for an India vs Pakistan match. You'll find these tickets going for black at exorbitant prices. I don't know how big of a loss is this for the organizers as well. People are saying this is only because BCCI was so adament on organizing it in Sri Lanka.

England vs New Zealand

After losing 3 wickets for 8 runs and 5 wickets for 55 runs, the performance of England's batsmen was unimaginable. They batted great. England set a target of 227 runs in 34 overs. After losing 5 top order wickets for just 55 runs I thought England would lose all wickets before they could get to 150 runs today. But this is not the case. England scored 226 runs with the loss of only 7 wickets. Livingstone was unbeaten on 95 off 79 balls. Besides Buttler 30, Moeen Ali 33 and Sam Curran collected 22 runs. A target of 227 runs in 34 overs is a very good target. England are more likely to win unless the New Zealand batsmen pull off another surprise.

So far the match is under the control of England. Like England, New Zealand's top order is not playing well. New Zealand lost Allen's wicket before scoring any runs. And they lost three important batsmen for 55 runs. Now the New Zealand batsmen are batting very carefully. New Zealand collected only 73 runs in 15 overs. New Zealand need 153 runs in just 19 overs to win. New Zealand need to collect more than 8 per over if they want to win. It is very difficult but not impossible. At the crease are Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham. If these two batsmen survive at the crease, maybe New Zealand will be able to collect 153 runs in 19 overs.

[ZAINmalik75]

Pakistan should then show better performance in order to achieve the target and they should take wickets at start with Good balling. So let's see that which team will perform better because those who play well will win the match.

Yeh Pakistan should show some good performance especially from bowling side because they way most of us expect from paksitani bowler they can't delivered due to which India took a good start in starting overs which really boost them mentality, but the things which we observed from pitch that was not quite friendly for bowler they have very small help from pitch but anyway we should praised India for phenomenal start, hope thier rest of their batter will done some good job too, but Pakistani bowler should take him before 350 because it will be a very very difficult challenge for Pakistani batter and we already know that Fakhar is out of form and the few batter like baber , Imam and Rizwan will be from whom we can expect to done something significant and make changes in results.

At the crease are Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham. If these two batsmen survive at the crease, maybe New Zealand will be able to collect 153 runs in 19 overs.

I can see Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell were playing very well, but the problem is New Zealand lost the wicket of Tom Latham in the 22nd over. On the other hand Latham returned to the dressing room after collecting 19 runs. Daryl Mitchell remains unbeaten with 40 runs.

You know Glenn Philips is a very good batsman that's why New Zealand still has a chance to win. New Zealand team must collect 114 runs in 13 overs, so if this pair plays well New Zealand team can win the match. If I recall correctly Mitchell played an unbeaten innings of 118 runs in the last match as well and he is playing very well in today's match too. If Mitchell's wicket is not picked up quickly by England it will become more difficult for them to win the match.

In the England vs New Zealand match, England scored 226 runs in the first innings, losing 7 wickets. But at the moment New Zealand is batting, they are batting well with the aim of winning, if New Zealand can perform well against England today's match, then there will be a chance to win. At the moment, New Zealand have collected 126 runs with the loss of six wickets and they do not have a very good wicket. But whether New Zealand might be able to win today's match remains to be seen as the match was postponed due to rain. Now England may win as the match has been reduced to 34 overs due to rain, and New Zealand are now struggling to win. Right now New Zealand need to score 99 runs from 60 balls which is really tough task as New Zealand have a good wicket in hand. That's why if England bowls well in today's match, New Zealand will be under more pressure and England will have a chance to win the match.

England have won the match by 79 runs. New Zealand had better opening than England team, but the pressure of scoring made them lose wickets at intervals. At some point New Zealand was 111/4 and finally ended the innings for 147 runs. In today's match the performance from England is really great, particularly Livingstone's 95* from 78 balls at the right time helped England reach 226/7 in 34 overs. The team that chased the target of 291 runs losing just two wickets, this time unable to reach target of 226 runs in 34 overs. Both teams have won one match each and this had increased competence on the upcoming matches.

England's performance in today's match was amazing. It was unimaginable that England would collect 226 runs in 34 overs after losing 5 wickets for just 55 runs. While the top order players performed poorly, every batsman in the middle order performed very well. This is why the team was able to collect a huge score of 226 runs. The performance of the batsmen as well as the bowlers was very good. New Zealand's innings stopped at just 147 runs. David Willy and Topley took 3 wickets each. Moeen Ali also managed to pick up two wickets. Topley's bowling was very controlled. This is why England's road to victory has become wider.

England just gave a small target of 228 runs today and that was possible only because of 112 runs partnership between Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran. This small target should have been chased by NZ side but they failed to do so. The series is levelled now and 2 more games to go. It was England bowling today that has done the job.

[ZAINmalik75]

England have won the match by 79 runs. New Zealand had better opening than England team, but the pressure of scoring made them lose wickets at intervals.

Wao what a surprising comback and win from England after a brutal defeat from same opponent in previous ODI match, I taught NewZeland has come out of his batting crisis but I think I was wrong because they way thier batting collapse against a small chasing target was really disappointing. But consistency of Mitchell were still seen in 2nd ODI too but no one partner stick with him for a long significant partnership which really chased down any difficult required target for him team.
But anyway it's start now still they has to play two remaining ODI of this series which will find out the real winner, Currently series is tie with 1-1 so any balance team from two of them can turn things down towards thier own so best of luck

I wasn't expecting such an amazing comeback from team England but they've really shown in this match that they are still the toughest opponent for most of the teams. I would say that Liam Livingstone is the man of the match from team England he has scored 95 runs which is really amazing score against a team that has won the previous match. I also believe that it was England's bowling team that really made the winning possible. Let's see who will win the other two matches! I'm sure that England won't allow New Zealand to win any more matches if they continue playing like this match.
