ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

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.

It is pure stupidity from the ACC. They scheduled the match in Sri Lanka, during peak monsoon season. India was demanding that matches should be held outside Pakistan and in the end we got in to this mess. A more appropriate venue was either Oman or the United Arab Emirates, but then again the BCCI and other full member boards wanted the matches to be hosted in Sri Lanka so that they could get the maximum gate collection. No consideration was given to the fans, who need to travel between Pakistan and Sri Lanka so many times in between two weeks.

There is yet another rain delay at Colombo. I am not sure when the match will start again.

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.

The match was supposed to start one hour back and now I feel they would reduce the number of overs. It is really a bad decision by the ACC to host the Asia Cup 2023 in Srilanka. They should have thought about the weather in this time of the year in Srilanka first. A few matches in the UAE would have been a brilliant idea. I have a feeling that the rain only interrupts whenever Pakistan and India are playing. All other matches where the rain interrupted did end on the same day.

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.

In 2nd ODI Between Pakistan women and South Africa women has started. Pakistan women won the toss and elected to bat first that is a good decision because under pressure Pakistan women didn't perform well. In previous match South Africa Posted a high total 292 runs in 50 overs. While chasing down the target Pakistan women only managed to score 165 runs all out in 36 overs. South Africa women showed extraordinary performance in the ODI format and won the first match by 127 runs. The current score of Pakistan women is 2 runs in 1 over if Pakistan wins this match then the target will be more than 300 runs.

With the available technology it is possible to know the weather condition weeks back itself. They should've made prior arrangements and scheduled the matches accordingly. The match is scheduled to start one and half hours ago and now it had begun. Everyone are hoping for a complete 50 over played by both the teams. Harish Rauf isn't going to bowl due to side strain. This could be advantage for India team.

The match already started, and it will be a full 50-over match. India started exactly where they were. They did not lose momentum and played extremely well against the Pakistani Pace attack. Pakistan has a good bowling side, but unfortunately, they did not do well against India yet. Pakistan will Haris Rauf. According to Crickbuzz,^[1] Morne Morkel | Pakistan Bowling Coach: He (Haris Rauf) started feeling his oblique muscle last night. He had a scan, and it revealed some inflammation. With the World Cup around the corner, it is precautionary, and we'll have to use the other boys to fill the overs. About yesterday's bowling, I felt that we weren't on the money from the get-go, and that's why we were hit for a few runs.

The official broadcasters have just put out a Tickr saying Haris Rauf will not be bowling today as a precautionary measure. That could be a big blow for Pakistan. Haris Rauf seems to be carrying what seems like a water bag heater concealed under his shirt, close to his abdomen and side. It might be a side strain.

The current score of Pakistan women is 2 runs in 1 over if Pakistan wins this match then the target will be more than 300 runs.

In the T20 format, Pakistan won against South Africa but started the series with a loss in the ODI series. Chasing a target of 292 runs in the first ODI, Pakistan Women lost all their wickets for just 165 runs and losing the first match by 127 runs. But there is no change for them in the 2nd ODI match. Their current condition is not good. Pakistan Women won the toss and elected to bat but lost 6 wickets in just 24 overs. It will be very difficult for the team to recover from this condition. Normally if they lose this match today, they will lose the series.

According to present condition the team of India has 307 runs in 46 overs and the betters are Rahul and Virat Kohli now and both these players are near to attain the century.
There is a great chance that India will target upto 360 to 370 runs so it's not an easy for Pakistan to chase such a huge target. Kohli have 88 runs whereas that of Rahul attain 97 runs and two overs of Naseem Shah and one over of Shaheen Afridi are remaining so if they play in a better way then they can stop the team of India to target higher runs.

Today, the second one day international match between New Zealand and England team was played.We know that both these teams are among the best teams in the world of cricket. In this match, England batted first and they collected 226 runs and lost 7 wickets.Livingston scored a maximum of 95 runs for the England team. When New Zealand came down to bat, they scored only 147 runs and were all out, so England defeated New Zealand by 79 runs in this match.

Indian team present a wonderful match. Lost 2 wickets last day and that game turned into reserve day but interestingly India didn't lose any wicket today. What a good performance by India team? Amazing performance presented by KL Rahul and Virat Kohli in today's match. A performance like this really shows how reliable the team's position is for the World Cup cricket. India and Pakistan are two arch-rivals whose match was eagerly awaited by the audience. Can the Pakistan team snatch victory against India by making 356 by chasing? The question that is being arisen in everyone's mind.

[Popkon6]

Team India has performed very well today and is most likely to win.  India managed to score 356 runs in the end by protecting the wicket. Only two wickets fell from the opening batsmen and the opening two batsmen scored half centuries and the remaining two batsmen Kohli and Rahul both scored centuries.
Pakistan team could not put any pressure on the bowling side, so today India team scored a lot of runs. Haris Rouf had a good low performance but only bowled five overs but did not take any wickets but conceded only 27 runs. Shaheen afridi picked up just 1 wicket as he conceded 79 runs in 10 overs at an over rate of 7.9.
Shaheen afridi did not perform well today as unique day. If the Pakistan team wants to win then they have to defend the wicket like the Indian team and stay on the field until the end then there is a chance of winning.

[TheSpiral]

First inning has done and India target 356 runs, Rahul and Virat Kohli make a great partnerships of 233 runs. Pakistan will achieve this target by making their partnerships well too because this achievement will take more efforts.

Today it is necessary for fakhar zaman, babar azam and Muhammad rizwan to play good and if they play better then there is a  chances for Pakistan to win the match.
Shaheen afridi, faheem ashraf and shadab khan overs was not good because they allow more than 70 runs in their overs.

[rojan]

In the Pakistan vs India match, India team has set a target of 356 runs in 50 overs. The performance of India team batsmen has been amazing today. Virat Kohli scored 122 runs in 94 balls today. KL Rahul scored 111 runs in 106 balls. Shaheen Afridi of Pakistan team said to bowl well in this match.  Couldn't for which India team has given so many runs target. Shaheen Afridi took 1 wicket with 79 runs in 10 overs. I think if there was no rain in this match India could not have performed so well.

[Shishir99]

I think if there was no rain in this match India could not have performed so well.

I don't think so. The match continued from the same position, and they had the same number of wickets in hand. It's true that they had a day to plan more better but Pakistan also has the same time to think about this match. The difference is Pakistan missed one of their pace bowler Haris Rauf due to his injury and I believe this is one of the advantage India had today.

Other than Haris Rauf, everything remains same. India were playing good yesterday and they continued with the same vibe. Who thought India will score that much runs against such a bowling line up? Wasn't Pakistani bowlers showing their skills all over the tournament?

India has put on a very big score in front of Pakistan. Right now the break between two innings is going on. Pakistan has a big task ahead of them. The target is 357 and Pakistan is going to need more than seven runs per over. They will need 7.12 runs to be exact per over. That is a very big task. Pakistan will have to make big partnerships and also score at a good rate from the start of the innings. This does look like a good track to bat on. So I think Pakistan is very much capable of achieving the target.

It's a huge target in mind for a Pakistani team to chase because they will not only chase required target but will face blowing pressure on each an every dot balls, most of time Pakistani bowler safe his team during difficult situation, now it's totally off day for them so it's time for Pakistani batter to show some magic and make good as much as possible, it's not an impossible target to chase but difficult which can be done if any starting batter of Pakistan stay long done some good runs and make a significant partnership which will really blow them up, fakhre has some good number (statistics) against India so we can hope that tonight he will repeat his performance and will fulfill Pakistani fans expectations

India's score of 356 for 2 is the highest they've ever scored against Pakistan, as far as I can remember. Pakistan will have to achieve their highest-ever successful ODI chase to surpass India's total. It's a massive target, not easy, but not impossible either. Let's see if Pakistan can manage to chase down this total. Unfortunately, Pakistan has already lost their captain, Babar Azam, and Imam-ul-Huq. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the team steps up in this situation.

oh! rail again here to play his role.

Don't worry about the high score of the Indian Team and a bad start by the Pakistan team in this 2-day rain-affected game. The prayers of the Pakistan nation come in handy as the match is again stopped and believe me or not, rain is getting heavier and heavier.

I think we will not see the match resume now and it will be a draw with one point to each team. Bad luck for the Indian team but you can only be powerful on the ground by refusing to come to Pakistan but you can't win against nature, that is RAIN.

It's just because of hard stance of BCCI that whole Asia Cup got messed up. India has no objection in playing with Pakistan on its own soil since its giving them revenue but had issues in playing in Pakistan. Next year champions trophy is coming up and we will see same drama at tbat time also.

Well, the Indian team did a massive score of 356 which is huge and a little bit impossible to cross. Pakistan team startup is not impressive which shows that they may not chase the target but hope is always here, The captain is also down which is another big loss for Pakistan but we can't ignore the bowlers of the Pak team as they always did some unpredictable things and maybe if they are willing to win the at every cost then I think they will are definitely chased, Let's see what happens next, The all we will do is just praying.

One thing that needs to be understood is why the climate change authority does not know the weather Why they do not schedule the match to some other day when the possibility of rain is low?

India batting managed to build a huge score due to which today's match is expected to be very tough for Pakistan. However, Pakistan have already lost two wickets when they came to bat, which weakened the Pakistan team a lot. Although the match is stopped due to rain at the moment and if the rain does not finally start in today's match then it may be better for Pakistan if the match is postponed altogether. India scored 356 to give highest score to Pakistan which is really high if Pakistan can't bat well it will never reach this target.  Although Pakistan have lost two batsmen it is difficult to say how well Pakistan can perform in the next round but as far as possible Pakistan is under pressure now. Pakistan are now in deep despair after losing two great batsmen like Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq, however today Pakistan will try hard to reach the target of winning this game, but how well they will perform will be seen when the game starts. If there is no rain in today's match then maybe DL method can be used or the match can be postponed, not sure yet about this.
