English posted a big total of 368 runs and all out in 48.1 overs against New Zealand in the 3rd ODI. From England Ben Stokes played an unbelievable 182 runs knock and Dawid Malan brilliant innings of 96 runs helped England to post 368 runs on the board against New Zealand. Dawid Malan unfortunately missed his well deserved century by just 4 runs short. New Zealand bowlers give poor performances except Benjamin Lister picked up 3 wickets by just giving 69 runs in 10 overs. I think this total is different to chase down for New Zealand because English has a quality bowling line.

I don't see any chance of New Zealand winning this match. The team has come down to bat with a huge target of 369 runs. Naturally the batsmen are under a lot of pressure. And losing 3 top order batsmen now their pressure has increased. They lost the wickets of 3 experienced top order batsmen to collect only 28 runs. The team collected only 30 runs in 8 overs, New Zealand must collect 339 runs in 42 overs. New Zealand would have been able to collect more than 300 if they had not lost wickets so quickly. But the way they started the innings. Collecting 200 runs is much more difficult for this team. New Zealand will be defeated by a big margin of runs.

It is an impossible target to chase with the way they started losing their top 3 wickets and all they can do is to hang in their and try to build partnership and frustrate the England bowlers. Trent Boult bowled well in a run fest and picked up 5 wickets which is impressive and a lot of positives in the match for England after losing the first match and with this win they will lead the series .

I am very annoyed by New Zealand's batting. The pitch is batting friendly. England's top order batted brilliantly. But now New Zealand's batting looks like they have played on a bowling friendly pitch. They lost four batsmen to collect only 37 runs. Talented batsmen like Devon Conway, Will Young, Henry Nicholls and Tom Latham could not survive at the crease. Now New Zealand's last hope Daryl Mitchell and Flenn Phillips. If these two wickets fall quickly, then New Zealand will lose the remaining wickets very quickly. These two batsmen are the last experienced batsmen in New Zealand's squad. New Zealand collected 46/4 after 12 overs. They have no chance of winning. Now their only goal is to reduce the margin of defeat.

The match starts in a few minutes between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and also toss starts in 5 minutes.

I think you haven't any idea that Pakistan vs Sirilanka schedule tomorrow and you are expecting today, but it's true that it will be deciding match for both of team because winner will be quality for Asia Cup final against India and loser will be eliminated for the tournament, In my view paksitan are awake from long winning streak sleep and now they will be fully focused on the only decider match . No doubt some of quality pacer will be not available but I am quite sure that the new boy will fullfill too paksitan fan expectations. Now the only problem which will Pakistan face that thier main spinner performance were quite bad and currently they have none more quality spinner which utilize the situation completely and book a strong victory for his team

I usually look at the bookmaker's odds to further get the confluence of who has more chances of winning the matches. Pakistan with the odds of 1.5 is clearly the favorite for tomorrow's match. I personally will also be supporting Pakistan, because i would love to see the India Pakistan Asia Cup Final. This will no doubt be a big game if it happens.

Odds for both teams are here.

In today's 3rd ODI match between England vs New Zealand, England team batted first and set a target of 368 runs in 48.1 overs. Root did not bat well today. Root got out for 4 runs in 7 balls. But Ben Stokes batted very well. 182 off 124 balls.  Ben Stokes scored.Dawid Malan was dismissed for 96 runs off 95 balls.England team batsmen Ben Stokes and Dawid Malan performed very well in this match today.New Zealand team now came out to bat.They scored 58 runs in 43.3 overs.But so far  New Zealand has lost 4 wickets. In today's match, the batsmen of the New Zealand team are under a lot of pressure by losing wickets.

New Zealand would have been able to collect more than 300 if they had not lost wickets so quickly. But the way they started the innings. Collecting 200 runs is much more difficult for this team. New Zealand will be defeated by a big margin of runs.

It is an impossible target to chase with the way they started losing their top 3 wickets and all they can do is to hang in their and try to build partnership and frustrate the England bowlers. Trent Boult bowled well in a run fest and picked up 5 wickets which is impressive and a lot of positives in the match for England after losing the first match and with this win they will lead the series .

New Zealand were able to restrict England to 368 thanks to Boult's excellent bowling. The match would have become competitive only if the top order batted well. But I didn't think their batsmen would bat that badly. After losing the first wicket for 18 runs, they lost the fourth wicket for 37 runs. And they collected only 70 runs in 17 overs. New Zealand scored an average of 4.15 runs per over. New Zealand still need 299 runs to win. And they need to collect more than 9 runs per over. It seems impossible to me.

If England win this match, they will advance 2-1 in the series. England is likely to win the series. But they unexpectedly drew in the T20 series. England lost the last two matches of the series. Hopefully England won't let a repeat happen, and win the ODI series.

[Mahdirakib]

New Zealand need a big partnership now like Malan and Stokes have done for England. But there is no chance for them to make a comeback in this match as they have already lost their 5 top order batsmen. Anyway, I was expecting England team to score 400 runs. Surprisingly, their lower order batting lineup collapsed without being able to play the full 50 overs.

I usually look at the bookmaker's odds to further get the confluence of who has more chances of winning the matches. Pakistan with the odds of 1.5 is clearly the favorite for tomorrow's match.

Something against the odds may happen tomorrow. India and Pakistan have never met in the Asia Cup final until now.

After losing early wickets England done massive destruction to kiwi bowlers, and they have 368 which is surely one of the biggest target to achieve for the Kiwi's even they also have depth in their batting but in today chase Chris Woakes done early damage and have few quick wickets which bring down opponents down and out of the game right now after 19 overs we have 81 for 5 which is clearly indicating how things are going into match still 288 runs within 31 overs and all top order gone back to pavilion mean things are impossible for them to achieve this target, and now they could be down into this series by 2 - 1 after winning first ODI of this series.

Good batting from captain Ben Stokes and David Malan give good plate form for this target and now their bowling is completing this business before world cup for their best defend into this event.

I agreed with you specially after injuries to Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf can bring upset which can bring Sri Lanka vs India final.
I am feeling Pakistan needs to work on for playing against quality spinners as well which is brought them down badly and their own spin bowling attack is also having no depth to stop quality batsmen like we have in Sri Lanka vs India match yesterday.

Both teams know the importance of this match as the team who won today's match can't lose the series. So the winner of today's match will go to the fourth match with no pressure, noting to lose and play with confidence to win the match and series.

So far England is dominating this match. When they scored 368 runs in the first innings, it was obvious that there are too many runs and the other team (New Zealand ) would become under pressure.

This is exactly what happened and the New Zealand team are struggling at 99-5.

The match has become very boring. Mai thought the match would be competitive after England set a big target. New Zealand will bat to win. And I thought both teams would put up 600+ runs in the mile today. But we don't see anything like that. England's batsmen and bowlers are dominating this match. New Zealand just collected 129 runs. Now need 240 runs to win. New Zealand batsmen are batting very slowly. Glenn Phillips remains unbeaten with 46 runs. The T20 series between these two teams was also very boring. In the first two matches we saw the dominance of England and in the last two matches we saw the dominance of New Zealand.

[Haunebu]

Ben Stokes! Wow! This man is on fire lately in literally every format. What the heck would England do without him. It's tough to believe that they managed to score 368 even after Boult's brilliant bowling.

On the other hand, Woakes is decimating the NZ batting line-up who are pretty much out of the game now.

New Zealand team is in big trouble lost his 6 wickets in 151 runs in 31 overs. They Needed 218 runs in 19 overs to win this match while chasing down the 369 runs. England is now commanding position and needs only 4 wickets to defeat New Zealand by a big margin. England team set a very high target that seemed very difficult to chase down and the New Zealand team in under pressure and lost his 6 wickets by just 150 up runs. New Zealand bowling performance is very poor in this match but the Five-wicket haul for Boult has the most five-wicket hauls for New Zealand in ODI history. What a return he is back with a bang one of the greatest white-ball bowlers ever.

In the end the new zealand team could not collect even 200 runs. Such poor batting was unexpected from this team,  as it is a batting friendly pitch. England's two batsmen Stokes and dawid malan were able to collect runs very easily . Stoke's strike rate was 146. On the other hand  Phillips scored the highest runs for newzealand. Phillips' strike rate was less than 100. The performance of New zealand players is very erratic . There are a lot of talented players in the team,  but no one is playing well on a regular basis. Not much time left for the odi  world cup to begin. This team does not seem to do well in the World Cup..

England has won this match with 181 runs.England batsmen batted very well and gave New Zealand  a target of 368 runs.England  batsmen B .stokes and D. Malan  performed very well and scored  278 runs for their team alone.The  New Zealand team got out after making 189 runs in 39 overs.This time New Zealand had bad luck due to which batsman and bowlers  both of them did not perform well and lost the match.

[GbitG]

I agreed with you specially after injuries to Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf can bring upset which can bring Sri Lanka vs India final.

I think we should believed on any of our player and backed them because each and every player perform to get selection for national team, I am quite sure that Wasim jr and Zaman khan will completely settle on our expectations and one thing which I should remind you that we already faced same opponent with mostly same player on same ground few weeks before Asia and the best things is we dominate them, so most of our quality player are familiar with situation and with sirilankan side too, so I am quite sure that our boys will Handel situation and due to experience of LPL we have edge than any other team of Asiacup against sirilanka. So we will comback stronger and will defeat sirilanka and then India in final too

[ZAINmalik75]

English posted a big total of 368 runs and all out in 48.1 overs against New Zealand in the 3rd ODI.
From England Ben Stokes played an unbelievable 182 runs knock and Dawid Malan brilliant
innings of 96 runs helped England to post 368 runs on the board against New Zealand.

It's really disappointing moments for NewZeland because they took a good start in first ODI by chased down a huge target and just lose 2 wickets but now they consistently losing consecutive 2 match with decent margin, I think they should work on his batting line-up because soon there will be and ODI world Cup and if they have same situation
 then I am sure they will unable to qualify for even quarter finals.
Anyway let have a look on score card which is quite impressive especially in England side because there one of all time favourite all rounder ben stokes done a magnificent job during such a critical situation when they lose early on wicket before any decent runs, also credit goes to malan for supervb innings which really help his team to earn this victory

[JSRAW]

Ben Stokes! Wow! This man is on fire lately in literally every format. What the heck would England do without him. It's tough to believe that they managed to score 368 even after Boult's brilliant bowling.

On the other hand, Woakes is decimating the NZ batting line-up who are pretty much out of the game now.

He will do the same in the World Cup too. Treat for the spectators but a big headache for the opposition.

Noticing a pattern, almost all big names start scoring runs and making a statement before the WC. Aussies are also doing alright but some names are missing due to injuries.

[GbitG]

Ben Stokes had his career best in today's match, he was dismissed for 182 runs. If he could have scored 18 runs, it would have been the first double century in the ODI format.

I really enjoyed Ben stokes significant innings, he has a class and that why he perform most of the time, I think his decision to comback to his national team after retirement is now benifiting them, I think England took his revenge of first match defeat and now they left thier opponents one step behind them, I think current moral of England indicate how danger they will be in ODI World Cup India, seriously they will be be a very difficult challenge for any team to face them. Now they are ahead from NewZeland 2-1 hope so NewZeland will comback if not then one more victory will turned the series to his name.

I usually look at the bookmaker's odds to further get the confluence of who has more chances of winning the matches. Pakistan with the odds of 1.5 is clearly the favorite for tomorrow's match. I personally will also be supporting Pakistan, because i would love to see the India Pakistan Asia Cup Final. This will no doubt be a big game if it happens.

I am agree with you paksitan has bunch of chances to dominate sirilankan and believe me it will really a big fun and joy to watch India vs Pakistan in Asia cup finals, but first we should focused on tomorrow match because it will be do or die match, sirilankan will not allow them easily to get the victory they will definitely create barrier for them to broke thier moral.
