ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Instead of getting under pressure from such big fan followings, someone needs to teach them to take this love and affection in a way to further increases and boom up your spirits to perform even better.

The fear of losing should be overcomed by the will of winning.

They know all of this stuff already since this isn't their first time playing an ODI World Cup on home soil. They need to focus less on emotional stuff and more on practical stuff by thinking logically if you ask me.

This is something captains like MSD, Ponting etc mastered which is why their teams almost always crossed the critical line successfully.

Today is the day beginning of the first ODI match between New Zealand vs Bangladesh. Stats says that, New Zealand hasn't defeated Bangladesh in men's ODIs at their home ground for 13 years. Regardless of the opponent's strength, Bangladesh has often managed to come out on top. However, the NZ bowling line-up is quite strong and has the potential to destroy any batting lineup with a strong and short spell.

The New Zealand captain admitted that Bangladesh is a very tough opponent on Bangladesh soil so this series will not be easy for New Zealand at all. Bangladesh captain Liton Das is very optimistic about this series. 
Tamim Iqbal is returning to the team after a long injury and Mahmudullah or Soumya Sarkar are likely to be in the XI. Shakib Al Hasan has been rested in this series. Basically, new players who have been given a chance in the XI after a long time can be tested through this series and given a place in the World Cup squad. 

Right now, Bangladeshi fans will be more than happy if Mahmudullah remains in the Riyad XI. In case New Zealand did not tour Bangladesh with their main team in this series, I will keep Bangladesh in this series.

This is the last series for both teams before the World Cup.  So the series is very important for both the teams. Both Bangladesh and New Zealand will be looking to win . Also Bangladesh team is very strong at home ground. And the Bangladesh team at home is capable of challenging any big team.

Mahmudullah is one of the most experienced players in the Bangladesh squad.  But due to his lack of form, the team management is not interested in keeping Mahmudullah in the World Cup squad. If mahmudullah performs well in this series,  he will get a chance to play in this World Cup as well.

The match is being delayed due to rain. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field. They bowled very well. New Zealand collected only 9 runs in 4.3 overs. Today's weather is not good. There is also a possibility that the match will be abandoned.

South Africa's Anrich Nortje, Sisanda Magala ruled out of ODI World Cup 2023
A news has come out that South African side two main pacer Nortje, Magala will likely to ruled out of the upcoming ODI world Cup due to injury, while thier board has decided that due to thier insufficient available for such a big event a two new young performer will likely to replace them who has done some good job in previous series against Australia, these names are Andile Phelukwayo and  Lizaad Williams which has been clearly mentioned by thier official twitter today,
Look like such injuryies will runied the entire joy and entertainment of such a big event, rather than India and England most of team has single or twice main player injury. I think thier board should manage thier work load because they had played several league which really make them tired and injured.

The first ODI match between Bangladesh vs New Zealand was stopped for a while due to rain. The good news is that the rain has now completely stopped and the outfield is fully ready for play and players from both teams may soon take to the field. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field first against New Zealand. I think wicket spin bowling is helpful because Bangladesh have taken only two fast bowlers and all the rest are spin bowlers. The way the ball was swinging at the beginning of the match I feel this match will be a low scoring match. As the game will be played on the soil of Bangladesh, the amount of bets will be more in favor of Bangladesh. I have refrained from betting on the first match, after seeing the performance of the first match I will bet on the next two matches.

The 1st ODI Match between New Zealand and Bangladesh is Resumed after Rain. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first. New Zealand current score is 9 without any loss of wickets in 4.3 overs. Both openers are looking good Finn Allen scored 5 runs in 18 balls and will young score 3 runs in 9 balls. Bangladesh has home advantages especially when matches are played at Sher Bangla Stadium at mirpur. While Shakib ul hassan is rested in this series. Bangladesh is the favourite team to win this match but New Zealand also has strong batting and bowling line that a big challenge for Bangladesh. Let see what happened in the match after the Rain stopped and play will begin in some time.

The decision to field after winning the toss seems to have been correct. Bangladeshi bowlers are bowling great today. Batting of New Zealand batsmen is very slow. They managed to collect only 26 runs in 10 overs. However, New Zealand lost two important wickets. And Mustafizur Rahman took both the wickets. Also Nasum and Shakib's bowling is very controlled. No bowler has given an average of more than 3 runs an over so far.

The interesting part is that Will Young scored 5 runs off 31 balls. He is probably considering today's match as a test match  . Young is a talented opener. And should perform slightly better. Young's strike rate is only 16.

NZ score is 41/2 after 13 overs, it looks like they have increased the scoring rate a bit in the last 2 to 3 overs. Both the wickets were taken by Mustafizur. And I agree with your point of view that the Bangladesh team is dangerous on their home grounds. They have whitewashed the best teams in the recent past in the home series. Let's see how NZ build their inning in these challenging condition. Bangladesh is the favourite to win this match.

The first ODI match between New Zealand and Bangladesh had started but this match was delayed due to rain now start again. Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bowl first. Bangladesh's team looks quite strong and they perform well. New Zealand scored 62 runs with 2 wickets lost in 17.3 overs and their performance has not been great possibly due to the rain delay. W. Young and H. Nicholls are currently batting with Young scored 27 run in 59 balls and Nicholls scoring 22 runs in 26 ball. If their partnership continues for a while New Zealand might set a great target for Bangladesh. On the other hand Bangladesh bowling performance especially from M. Rahman has been commendable as he has taken 2 wickets in 5 overs. The match is still ongoing and it seems Bangladesh has a good chance of winning if they can take a few more wickets in next overs.

[Haunebu]

The match is still ongoing and it seems Bangladesh has a good chance of winning if they can take a few more wickets in next overs.

Yeah. They need to keep taking wickets at regular intervals in order to restrict NZ under 200 which is a losing total. Rahman is the only one who bowled well so far while the NZ batsmen are playing well currently.

Expected Williamson to return in this match, but it seems that he is trying hard to be fit before the showpiece event.

After the early fall of wickets, New Zealand is in a good position with 107 runs in a loss of 2 wickets in 27 overs. Will Young played a responsible inning half century 51 runs unbeaten in 85 balls he is playing strike rate of 60 which is not so good. Henry Nicholls also played a very sensible knock of 39 runs unbeaten in 54 balls. Nasum Ahmed Bangladesh spinner bowled well his economy rate is 3.40 but didn't get any wickets, Both players are well set against Bangladesh bowlers. I think if the partnership is continued between Will Young and Nicholls then New Zealand will set a 250-plus target for Bangladesh. The 250 target is enough for this group to win the match but it is a challenging task for New Zealand.

I think 250 is tough enough from here for New Zealand to score .They have lost another wicket now .Mustafizur Rahman took Nichollas wicket and 29th over end .Isn’t it tough for New Zeland to reach 250 .I thibk Bangladesh are really doing well on bowling to tight New Zealand to score rapidly .As expected the pitch is spinning supported nevertheless soinner fail to pick any wicket .I think New Zeland need speed up and take some quick runs to get good total .I think they have good batting unit and they are really capable to do that .Hope we will have a fighting match.Let's enjoy  !

The match is looking good, Bangladesh is dominating the match with excellent bowling. The current run rate is below 5 but one big partnership can change the game completely. If Bangladesh wants to win the match then they would need to restrict the New Zealand side under 250 runs. The way they are playing now it looks like they might be able to do that. Mustafizur Rahman has taken 3 wickets and after this over he would be left with only three overs. I think after he completes this spell, NZ would start forming a partnership as he is the only bowler looking good now.

Bangladesh squad today is good because it is surrounded by experienced players. Mostafizur Rahman single-handedly took three wickets in the bowling line which is a massive performance for the Bangladesh team as New Zealand's wickets fell from the power play. In this way, if Bangladesh team can improve bowling line performance then surely they can beat New Zealand team because Bangladesh team has strong batting line. Tamim, Mahmudullah Riyad these two players are very experienced because according to their advice if the match goes on then definitely there is a chance for Bangladesh team to do something good. Let's all enjoy the game.

Due to the rain, the bowling on the pitch is getting an added benefit which is not helping the New Zealand batsmen. Moreover, the New Zealand batsmen batted at a very slow pace in the beginning of the match and they probably did not score any runs in 10 overs but only scored 28 runs. Here New Zealand kept the score low as a team which would be a major hurdle in their 200 run collection. On the other hand, the bowling department of Bangladesh has performed well and if the batting department can perform well then the first ODI match can go in favor of Bangladesh.

[Fuso.hp]

Let's all enjoy the game.

When I don't want to enjoy the match, it starts raining, I can't enjoy the Bangladesh-New Zealand match properly because of the continuous rain. 

Right now Bangladesh is in the driving position of this match. The 50-over match was reduced by eight overs to 42 overs when rain came in the first leg. 33.3 overs have been played so far due to intermittent rain. It would be wrong to say ongoing because right now the game is off for a while due to rain. We may be able to go live again shortly. 
You have mentioned the experienced players of Bangladesh here, as experienced players I can only see Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah Riyad (although these two experienced cricketers have been out of cricket for a long time), Liton Das, Mustafizur Rahman and the rest of the players are all from cricket.

If they score 200 runs from 180, it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to win this match because the batsmen are not able to bat well on this wicket.

The way New Zealand are playing, it is difficult for them to collect 200 runs. However, the rain stopped the game for a while.  Bangladesh is batting very well. Bangladesh can play such matches well but in any serious match they lose the match badly. In the Asia Cup, Bangladesh lost the easy matches very badly but beat India in the last match and left the Asia Cup. Therefore, it is very difficult to predict the game of Bangladesh in advance. But Bangladesh is not bad at playing cricket.  But many of them have the record of losing easy matches

[Shishir99]

It seems Mirpur stadium is back in action. The ODI World Cup is ahead, and Bangladesh again tried to make a slow wicket rather than trying a sporting wicket at this moment. I could be wrong but the pitch does not look batting-friendly at all. I am not sure who performing well today. Is it Bangladeshi bowlers or is it the Mirpur cricket ground?

If it's Bangladeshi bowlers, good to see them back in action. Nasum Ahmed did very well. I was expecting some good bowling from the new bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib. I cannot blame him for not getting a wicket but he did well so far.

Rain starts again .Its true that Bangladesh are now on the driving seat but still New Zeland are on the game .We all know cricket is a game of fund ,The situation can be changed any time .However we may loose over once again and DLS will be apply .Its a good news for Bangladesh bench cause Mahmudullah Riyadh and Tamim Iqbal the two senior player are with them.So it is very good planning to back the once again.Remind it always that experience has a value .The youngstar can share their lack and they alsobshare their experince .New Zealand are surviving hope they will recover and we can see a good cricket game .

In Bangladesh vs New Zealand 1st ODI match today New Zealand team came to bat and scored 136 runs in 33.4 overs.Bangladesh team started with good bowling performance.But the match is stopped due to rain.Hopefully rain will end the game soon.  The two teams will start again. New Zealand team is under a lot of pressure with the loss of 5 wickets so far. Finn Allen of New Zealand team is out for 9 runs from 20 balls. Will Young is out for 58 runs from 91 balls. Henry Nicholls is out for 44 runs from 57 balls.  On the other hand Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh team has started performing very well. Mustafizur Rahman has taken 3 wickets with 27 runs in 7 overs. Nasum Ahmed has taken 2 wickets in 8 overs with 21 runs.

[Vaskiy]

It seems Mirpur stadium is back in action. The ODI World Cup is ahead, and Bangladesh again tried to make a slow wicket rather than trying a sporting wicket at this moment. I could be wrong but the pitch does not look batting-friendly at all. I am not sure who performing well today. Is it Bangladeshi bowlers or is it the Mirpur cricket ground?

If it's Bangladeshi bowlers, good to see them back in action. Nasum Ahmed did very well. I was expecting some good bowling from the new bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib. I cannot blame him for not getting a wicket but he did well so far.

Most of the tournament these days have got disturbed by the rain. Even the matches played on the western nations were also interrupted. The recent update from the Bangladesh vs New Zealand match, the covers were removed as the rain stopped and soon after that once again the ground staff have covered the ground as rain arrived.

The match is in favour of Bangladesh as New Zealand have lost 5 wickets scoring 136 runs in 33.4 overs. Home ground favour Bangladesh and can chase targets with confidence. Lets see if this is going to be a winning match for Bangladesh or ends with no result due to rain.
