ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

There was a lot of doubt about this Asia Cup tournament and finally it seemed that Asia Cup tournament may not be held this season but finally Pakistan India came to an agreement and fixed this date of Asia Cup just before the World Cup. The organizers already knew that Sri Lanka has the highest rainfall this season, but they had no choice but to finish the Asia Cup tournament successfully. If all the matches were played by Pakistan, the organizers would not have faced the problem of rain. Regarding the loss you mentioned to the organizers, I would say that the first match between India and Pakistan was abandoned, not the organizers but the broadcasting channels. The organizers have already sold the broadcasting rights to a broadcasting channel and they have sold enough tickets before the start of the match so hopefully they don't have to refund the ticket money. One reserve day was kept for the India Pakistan match considering the loss to the broadcasting channels even if not the loss to the hosts.

England were under a lot of pressure early on when all four of England's top order batsmen were dismissed for just 9 runs. Livingston, Moen Ali, Josh Butler were able to get out of the pressure and England scored 226 after 34 overs but this target proved difficult for New Zealand and they were bowled out for just 147 runs. David Willey, Reece Topley, Moen, none of New Zealand could stand up to their bowling action, as a result of which New Zealand was all out for 147 runs in 27 overs and lost by 79 runs.

[Out of mind]

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'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.

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.

The match was reduced to 34 overs by the DLS method due to rain, and England made 226. Really the improvement in England's bowling and batting performance was great due to which England was able to win the match. Moreover, New Zealand tried hard but when the game started after the rain, their performance was disappointing, and they started performing poorly in the match. And going into the last minute, the New Zealand batsmen could stay at the crease, for which New Zealand were under pressure to lose wicket after wicket. And with New Zealand losing a complete wicket, they lost the match by a huge margin of 79 runs as England won.

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.

This was an excellent target for New Zealand because in 34 overs England made 226 runs and if they play 50 overs so I think they could cross 350+ runs.
On the other hand New Zealand performance was not good. They only made 147 runs in 27 overs and got all out in this session. David Willey and Reece Topley both of them bowled really well and they both got 3…3 wickets of New Zealand team. Congratulations to England team.

[Jateng]

In a thrilling match against New Zealand England has pulled off an amazing comeback to tie the series at 1-1. The match that was stopped by weather England easily defeated New Zealand and won by 79 Runs. New Zealand struggled to meet their target of 226 runs in 34 overs. England experienced a stunning collapse early on in the mach losing three wickets for only eight runs but Livingstone valiant 95* from 78 balls helped them to 226/7. With both teams now standing at one win apiece, this result signifies England solid preparation for the next World Cup 2023 and sets the way for some exciting following matches.

One can argue that no one can forecast the weather accurately and this is no cricket board's fault if the matches are being interrupted by rain but I really don't understand few things. They have reserved a day for this match but wouldn't it be more beneficial if this match was shifted to a day match, instead of a day-night match ?

The weather was clear the whole day and it started raining in the evening. Tomorrow weather prediction is the same. So why don't these so-called cricket officials think out of the box and can move the match/es to day matches.

You rightly said that it would be right to schedule the matches during the day .when the match started yesterday,it was predicted that there was an 80% chance of rain and it happened.If today India does not come out to bat,this match will become a T20.And Pakistan will get a target  of 181 run in 20 overs.
But everyone is hoping that there will be no rain today and India will resume paly and only  a 50 overs match will be seen.

The ACC should have seen all the options but i am afraid they did not think about a day game. Anyways, the weather forecast for today is the same as of the last day, so i don't think we are going to see a full day of cricket.

Anyways if Pakistan were given a target of 181 runs in 20 overs, this one would be a tough ask for them. By the Way, the Indian team is dominating in this match. I do not know the sentiments of both teams' dressing rooms, I am sure India would want this match to conclude so that they can secure 2 points. On the other Pakistan may want the rain to continue as they are not in a good position in this match.

Definitely India are favorite at this point and they want to conclude this game. Moving Asia Cup out of Pakistan and that too in rainy SL is a decision that has destroyed the Asia Cup completely. Right now there are three contesters for Asia Cup final i.e. India, Pakistan and SL. The winner of today's game will surely secure his slot in final.

England won the by 79 runs.  So now the series is level 1-1. The first match was won by New Zealand and this second match won by England made the series level.  Liam Livingstone scored 95 runs and it turned out to be match winning for them.

The 3rd match between the two teams now become very important for both teams. It will be played at Oval on 13 September.  Do you think the home ground pressure can be beneficial for the England team ?

[3kpk3]

NZ folded like a pack of cards after the middle order departed. Willey, Topley and Ali decimated them giving their team a big morale boost which they clearly needed after the manner in which they got screwed in the previous match.

Also, this new trend of sending top batsmen way down the order(Marnus, Liam etc) is pretty interesting and gutsy if I may say so.

If India set a target of 181 runs in 20 overs, it will be much more difficult for them to win this match. I can see the pitch is batting friendly, also Indian bowlers are not in good form now, their performance in the previous matches was quite poor.

On the other hand, you know Pakistan batsmen have batted very well in the previous matches. That is why India will definitely want to bat 50 overs today. The way India is progressing, I think they will be able to give a target of more than 300 in 50 overs. They lost just two wickets, but the problem is that the weather in Sri Lanka is not good even today. Chance of rain is high, if India's luck is very good, they will get a chance to bat 50 overs today.

Disappointing performance from NZ batting yesterday. NZ picked 6 quick wickets but they failed to break partnership between Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran, this was the major reason for there defeat. Both batsmen scored 112 runs and took the score to 226. The target was not much and should have been chased down but NZ batting totally was clueless in this game.

The performance of the two teams in this series is quite strange.  We have seen in the T20 series, England could not win the series after winning the first two matches by a huge margi n. In the last two matches they have lost unexpectedly. We are seeing the same thing in the odi format as well. After setting a target of 292 runs in the first match, the England team had to be badly defeated.

However  england's performance in the second odi match was surprising.  They lost 5 wickets for 55 runs. But still they managed to give a big target of 227 runs after losing 7 wickets in 34 overs. england's middle order performed well.  The performance of the batsmen as well as the bowlers was very controlled. This is the reason why they were able to defeat the New Zealand team by a big margin.

Pakistan Women vs South Africa Women

Pakistan Women's team and South Africa Women's team are going to face each other shortly in the DET ODI match of the series. The Pakistan Women's team showed great dominance in the T20 series. The South African women's team is very strong. However, South Africa women's team lost all three T20 matches of the series against Pakistan women's team. But the South African team is back on the truck in the ODI series.

Africa won the first ODI match by 127 runs. South Africa women's team set a huge target of 293 runs with the loss of just 4 wickets. And they won very easily. I guess the South African players will be able to show dominance in today's match as well. Pakistan women's team is relatively weak in ODI format.

Pakistan vs India cricket match stopped due to rain yesterday. But, this is the biggest match so ACC decided to give a reserve for this match. Now, today is the reserve day and the match will start in the next 10 to 20 minutes.


But, what is this stupid behavior from the ACC, Every match is stopped due to rain. We can't see any single match.

Even with the reserve day the match doesn't gonna get result. The scheduled time had passed and the ground inspection continues. According to the latest update from the ground inspection team. The skies aren't very clear at the moment, however everyone are hoping for the start of the match at the earliest. As the precautionary measures the ground have been covered earlier. This had kept the ground in a better situation and everyone waiting for the update from the big match.
