ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

This Wellalage dude came out of nowhere and is playing brilliantly. He performed well with the ball and the bat, but I still think India will win this one since the remaining tail-enders can't really bat.
Sri Lanka messed up this chase pretty badly. They have enough balls, but not enough wickets currently.

Indian team really done a good job, at start of match I taught India Gona lose this match because they lose important wickets in early on overs and unable to score a huge runs like they done against Pakistan, but again the same guy from indian bowling Lineup done some extra ordinary performance which really help India to defend a small target, it's not just victory for India but it's an another live opportunity for Pakistan To be in Asia Cup otherwise they will win by huge margin which was quite difficult to be done where opponent team has home ground edge.
From sirilankan side credit goes to thier young talented spinners who departure the most important players of indian batting line-up who has ability to change the entire game, Although he done good job from bat too by scoring 42*. But anyway now upcoming match will be really important for Pakistan and sirilanka too because winner will be quiality for next stage

The Sri Lankan team could not fulfill the target of this small run of India. This is now the most dangerous wicket fall for Sri Lanka due to the bowling pressure of Indian team Sri Lanka team has lost a lot of wickets. Although the Indian team started losing wickets in the beginning but even in the last phase they managed to score only 213 runs with the same loss of wickets.
But the Sri Lankan team failed to meet this small run target as the ground was famous for its bowling pieces so no batsman could stay on the pitch for long. Dunith Wellalage today, if any batsman could have made a pair from the reverse, there was a possibility of the match being played in the last over. Because Dunith Wellalage this batsman wanted to hold the game tight in the last stage and he is able to score 42 runs.

South Africa vs Australia match South Africa are batting first innings and they have already scored 224 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. If South Africa can't win in this third ODI match today, it might not be possible for them to win the series. Because South Africa lost against Australia in the previous two matches and if no one can win today's match against South Africa Australia then the ODI series will be lost.

South Africa clinched the 3rd ODI against Australia with a commanding 111-run victory. South Africa stay alive in the series with an impressive win. South Africa posted a formidable 338/6 on the board while batting first, and Australia was bowled out for 227. Notably Australia had a blazing start, scoring 140 runs in just 14 overs in their chase but they lost their second wicket Mitchel Marsh, in the 14th over, with Warner already reaching a quick 50 off 27 balls. Despite their aggressive start, Australia run rate was 6.57 and they couldn't sustain the momentum leading to their downfall in the match.

Well, you can't blame the lower order and tailend batsmen when the top and middle order failed to do the job. It is true that Dhananjaya de Silva and Dunith Wellalage added some respectability to the innings after the Indian bowlers reduced Sri Lanka to 99/6. From a two digit total, de Silva and Wellalage took Sri Lanka to 162/6. Victory looked possible for Sri Lanka, but then Ravindra Jadeja struck and removed de Silva. And after that the Lankan tail collapsed like a peck of cards and India was able to win the match and secure 2 points.

This is South Africa's first win on this tour. The team lost all three matches of the T20 series. And was defeated by a large margin. In the first two ODIs as well, we saw a very poor performance from the South African players. Australia won the two matches very easily.

A huge target of 339 for 50 was set by the South African team. The top order batsmen batted well. De Kock and Markram in particular played brilliantly. Markram was unbeaten on 102 off just 74 balls. The batsmen as well as the bowlers were able to bowl very responsibly. Gerald Coetzee took 4 wickets in just 6.3 overs. Australia's innings stopped in just 34.3 overs. Their run rate was very good, but losing wickets quickly resulted in Australia being defeated by a large margin.

South Africa made a strong comeback in the series with a convincing 111-run win over Australia in the third ODI. Australia faced a batting collapse, which led to their defeat. Also two great stumpings and excellent bowling, along with pressure from South African spinners, made a significant difference and turned the game in South Africa's favor.

Also two great stumpings and excellent bowling, along with pressure from South African spinners, made a significant difference and turned the game in South Africa's favor.

They are still trailing the series by 1-2. Good for them that they managed this massive win against Australia, but let's not forget the fact that it came after two heavy defeats. Australia now needs to win just one of the two remaining matches, to win the series. Australian bowlers were wayward yesterday, especially Josh Hazlewood, Sean Abbott and Tanveer Sangha. And while batting, they failed to capitalize on the good start given by David Warner and Travis Head. No one in the middle order scored more than 20 runs.

It's an easy target for Sri Lanka to chase but they fail to do because of their bating. Just look at their openers both were out on just 6 and 2 runs they did not hold the partnership and just imagine Dimuth Karunaratne used 18 balls in power play and did only 2 runs on the other hand the Indian team is very good as compared to them their openers did 53 and 19 which is good and yeah they hold their wickets for some time, But I was hurt to saw that Virat was out ōn only 3 runs. Somehow the Srilankan bowlers did wonderful bowling but their batsmen did not have that much guts to face the Indian bowlers.

Although India set a target of only 214 runs, I was sure that India would win this match. Because the Indian squad is much more experienced than the Sri Lankan team. They also bowled brilliantly against Pakistan. They stopped an experienced squad like Pakistan for just 128 runs. And so the Indian bowlers were confident against Sri Lanka. The Indian bowlers were able to break the Sri Lankan top order very quickly. Hardik Pandya should definitely be thanked. Pandya's bowling was very controlled when Silva and Wellalage formed an excellent partnership for the seventh wicket. As a result, two Sri Lankan batsmen were under pressure. After Jadeja picked up the wicket of de Silva, Sri Lanka quickly lost the remaining wickets. Jadeja, Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav bowled brilliantly in this match.

Sirlinka at the End of 37 overs scored 157 in a loss of 6 wickets at this stage and is very close to winning. While two set batsmen are on Carees de slive are playing at 41 runs and D Wellalage are playing at 30 runs. But after that Ravindra Jadeja picked up de Slive wicket by 41 runs in 66 balls. Sirlinka only managed to score 172 and lost by 41 runs. Dunith Wellalage is unbeaten at 42 runs while no other bastmen support him. Wellalage all all-around performance was amazing Pick 5 wickets hall. From India Kuldeep Yadav pick 4 wickets, Jasprit Bumrah picked up 2 wickets and Ravindra Jadeja also picked up 2 wickets by just giving 33 runs in 10 overs. India now officially qualified for the Final of the Asia Cup

Somehow the Srilankan bowlers did wonderful bowling but their batsmen did not have that much guts to face the Indian bowlers.

Sri Lanka's match against India was very easy to win but the match was lost due to poor performance by Sri Lankan batsmen. But if the two Sri Lankan batsmen could have batted well in the beginning then the match would have been possible but unfortunately the match has been due to this poor performance of Sri Lanka. Accordingly, India's batsmen were brilliant in the first two opening batsmen and scored good runs, Sri Lanka could have won the match if they had played but they luckily lost the match. Sri Lanka's bowling performance was excellent which put the Indian batsmen under a lot of pressure and they easily bowled out the Indian team. If they win this match, Sri Lanka can go to the final but now Pakistan has a chance to go to the final if Pakistan can beat Sri Lanka by a huge margin in the next match.

[Sithara007]

Tomorrow's match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan is going to be very crucial. It is a direct knockout match in order to determine which team will enter the final apart from India. Going with the current momentum, Sri Lanka has an upper hand. But let's not forget the fact that Pakistan was the most favored team when this tournament started. They performed well in their first two matches - against India and Nepal. But their last match was very disappointing, as they lost to India by such a big margin (228 runs). But they are unpredictable. It is very much possible that they will make a comeback tomorrow.

India has already qualified for the finals from the Super Four of the Asia Cup, now the competition is only between Pakistan and Sri Lanka as Bangladesh crashed out of the Asia Cup tournament after losing the first two matches. The team that wins the match that will be held tomorrow will confirm the final. Since Sri Lanka will take some home advantage when playing at Sri Lanka's ground, Sri Lanka's home advantage will not be of much use against a team of Pakistan's size. Pakistan are more likely to win tomorrow's match and I will bet for Pakistan. As tomorrow's match is a do or die match, both the teams will be under pressure to perform well, but Sri Lankan batsmen may not be able to do much against Pakistan's bowling line-up.

[Shumyl]

Yesterday was the match of Sri Lanka vs India and India won the match against Sri Lanka. There are two pieces of good news one for India and one for Pakistan, The first is India qualified for the final and the second is if India lost yesterday's match so Pakistan can't qualify for the final, and now, if Pakistan won today's match so Pakistan can qualify for the final.  


We can see again the match of Pakistan vs India in the final.

We can see again the match of Pakistan vs India in the final.

Basically in my point of view ICC generate a good revenue from Pakistan vs India match. Therefore they always try to create that kind of situation. But the Today match will decide that Pakistan will go in final or not? And I hope Pakistan will win the today match and will go in final and will play with India team. Don't know who will win but I hope that if Pakistan will go in final so Pakistan will win the match.

India has already qualified for the finals from the Super Four of the Asia Cup, now the competition is only between Pakistan and Sri Lanka as Bangladesh crashed out of the Asia Cup tournament after losing the first two matches. The team that wins the match that will be held tomorrow will confirm the final. Since Sri Lanka will take some home advantage when playing at Sri Lanka's ground, Sri Lanka's home advantage will not be of much use against a team of Pakistan's size. Pakistan are more likely to win tomorrow's match and I will bet for Pakistan. As tomorrow's match is a do or die match, both the teams will be under pressure to perform well, but Sri Lankan batsmen may not be able to do much against Pakistan's bowling line-up.

I guess the Lankans will ask the curator to create a dust-bowl, which will suit their spinners. Pakistani batsmen struggled against Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja during the match against India, and their own spinners performed pathetically. This is good news for Sri Lanka, as they can unleash their spin brigade - Dunith Wellalage, Charith Asalanka, Maheesh Theekshana and Dhananjaya de Silva against the Pakistani batsmen. However, two factors can play a crucial role during this match - rain interruptions (there is no reserve day for this match), and toss.

[Shumyl]

The match starts in a few minutes between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and also toss starts in 5 minutes. I think if Pakistan wins the toss so Pakistan decide to bowl first because Pakistan's best bowlers are injured so Pakistan tries to test their backup and new bowlers.

The country that won today's match they can qualify for the final and they play the final against India.

South Africa vs Australia match South Africa are batting first innings and they have already scored 224 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. If South Africa can't win in this third ODI match today, it might not be possible for them to win the series. Because South Africa lost against Australia in the previous two matches and if no one can win today's match against South Africa Australia then the ODI series will be lost. However, if the South African batsmen can perform well in today's match then it will definitely be possible for them to win the match, they have already managed to collect 224 runs in 35 overs. If the two batsmen who are present at the crease can hold on, maybe 300+ runs can be scored. And if South Africa can score 300 plus runs against Australia then it will definitely be possible to win the match.

Yesterday match between Australia and South Africa was very interesting, especially South Africa's batting performance. Australia won the toss and selected to bowl first but this is not right for Australia. South Africa gave a target of 336 runs in 50 overs and lost 6 wickets which is good. A. Markam and Q de Kock's batting was unbelievable. Markam made a brilliant century and scored 102 runs in 74 balls also not out in the match and Q de Kock scored 82 runs in 77 balls and then out by Travis Head. If we saw the bowling performance of South Africa then G Coetzee took 4 wickets against the Australia team. In this match, Australia's performance was not good except for one David Warner who made 78 runs off 56 runs. South Africa gave a very huge target and also they played well in the batting lineup and bowling line. So congratulations South Africa team for this gorgeous victory and now they lead 1-2.
