I think this squad is one of the best squad for this World Cup. Naseem Sha is injured that's why Hassan Ali is back on the team. I think if Naseem Shah hadn't been injured in the Asia Cup so Hassan Ali wouldn't come back to the team because he dropped a catch in the semi-final of 2021, and this catch stopped his career for 2 years.

By the way, Hassan Ali is one of the best bowler ever and the squad is very powerful.

I also think this squad is good for ICC World Cup. But there is a problem with the Pakistani team they just go under pressure when they face any big team or near to final or semifinal.
Of course Hassan Ali is the best bowler ever. He can give a tough time on pitch to the opposite team. At this time the Squad is looking good but in performance, what they will do no one knows about that.

PCB announced squad for ODI world cup. The squad is same as that in Asia Cup, the only replacement is Hassan Ali replacing injured Naseem Shah. The good thing is Haris Rauf is available for ODI worldcup. Pakistan performance in Asia Cup was not very much satisfactory and there batsmen need to improve there strategy.

Yes, you are right but this squad is very good. I know this squad is almost similar to the Asia Cup, and in Asia Cup, Pakistan's performance was not good in the last matches because in the last matches Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf were injured, and then Pakistan didn't have a wicket-taker bowler. Naseem Shah is also injured at this time but Hassan Ali is coming back in the team.

Pakistan squad is very strong. Their batsmen are talented, and the squad has some excellent pace bowlers. But the main problem in the Pakistan squad is the erratic performance of their batsmen. Every batsman has the ability to play long innings. But they don't have reliable batsmen to perform well consistently. Also their batsmen do not play well under extra pressure. Babar and Rizwan's performances have also become very erratic. If Pakistan's batsmen are in good form in the World Cup, and the performance is somewhat consistent, then they will do well in the World Cup this season.

Today, Bangladesh bowled brilliantly from the start. Like the first match, Mustafizur Rahman bowled brilliantly today. So far Mustafizur Rahman has taken 2 wickets with 19 after bowling 5 overs. Bangladesh squad has been changed in today's match. Khaled Ahmed made his ODI debut today, picking up 1 wicket in the first over. Bangladesh's pace bowling is getting better today. So far New Zealand has scored 56 runs in 12 overs losing 3 wickets. Bangladesh will be far ahead to win the match today if they can get New Zealand all out before 250 runs.  Let's see how many runs New Zealand is able to give the target in the end.

That is true my friend,  especially for the 10 first over  was really  hard for New Zealand in today's match.  They are opener batsman can't do a little performance today,  and if we talk about Mustafizur Rahman bowling then  all ready New Zealand said that Mustafizur bowling  looks dangerous  for them,  and today's  its also proved.
But  we can't take New Zealand team lightly still because  they have more 7 wicket to go  and I am seeing that they are recovering slowly.  However  I think their run rate was good  still for ODI match. But with the weather condition I doubt if the match goes to nil result today too, looking at the weather I think it will rain anytime.

Bangladesh started bowling in the second ODI of the series with the fear of rain in mind. With the ball in hand, the Kiwi batters are washing the Tiger pace ball. The Kiwi batsmen are struggling to handle the balls of Mostafizur Rahman and Khaled Ahmed. At the end of 21 overs, the Kiwis achieved 104 runs at the cost of three wickets.

Mostafizur Rahman got success in the third over of the innings. The left-handed pacer bowled Will Eng with a brilliant bouncer. He had to leave the field before opening the run book.

New Zealand is playing well after losing the first three batsmen of the top order for just 36 runs. At the end of 20 overs, the team collected 98 runs after losing 3 wickets. Henry Nicholls and Tom Blundell are batting responsibly. However, they cannot score too much. The team collected an average of 5 runs per over. That is a good enough collection on this pitch. New Zealand in the phase to provide a target of 260 even if the batsmen can survive at the crease. Losing the wickets of Blundell and Henry will make it impossible for New Zealand to set a big target. At the moment they are doing their best to stay at the top of the crease.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand

After rain intercepted the play in the first ODI, New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first in the second ODI. In 1st Odi New Zealand scored 136 runs in a loss of 5 wickets in 34 overs. Bangladesh are favourites to win this match but Rain spoiled the play. Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah are making a comeback for Bangladesh. The current score of New Zealand is 10 without losing any wickets in 2 overs. Finn Allen is playing aggressive cricket 10 runs unbeaten in just 5 balls. Bangladesh has quality fast bowlers and a good spin attack but they need early wickets and restrict New Zealand to under 250 runs then they have a good chance to win this match.

Match looks quite interesting to watch and based on both teams performances in the second ODI I think Bangladesh performance better than New Zealand at this moment. New Zealand managed to score 106 run in 22 overs and losing 3 wickets. New Zealand is slowly moving ahead in the match. H. Nicholls and T. Blundell are currently at batting. H. Nicholls scored 38 runs in 51 ball and not out while T. Blundell also scored 37 run in 42 balls also not out. If this partnership continues for a long duration then New Zealand will successfully set a challenging target for Bangladesh team and also putting a lot of pressure on them. Let's see if the Bangladesh team can stop this partnership or not.

In 1st Innings New Zealand current score is 130 runs in a loss of 3 wickets in 26 overs. New Zealand current Run rate is 5.00. Nuchols 49 playing well in 60 balls and  Blundell played an outstanding fifty of 50 runs in 54 balls. Bangladesh are bowling performance is outstanding especially Khalel Ahamd debt in Odi and bowel amazing picking wicket of Chad Bowes in 14 scores in 1st over of his spell. What an amazing telent Khalil Ahamd found by Bangladesh. Mustafizur Rahman also bowled well and picked up 2 wickets by just giving 21 runs in 5 overs. If this partnership continues New Zealand will go to 260 plus target for Bangladesh. In this pitch, 250 runs is a good score but it's challenging for New Zealand to score 250 runs against Bangladesh best bowling line.

Bangladeshi bowlers are doing great job here. happy to see that Mustafizur is proving wickets taking bowlers in powerplay for Bangladesh which will be helpful to put early pressure. This type of consistency needed in world cup too. In previous match bangladesh bowling performance was good , now the main thing is to check the batting because NZ has also quality pace bowling and the main thing is how Bangladeshi batsmens chase target.

4 wickets down and NZ is now in trouble, only 31 over remaining and NZ score is just above 150. Tom Blundell is playing aggressively and made his fifty. Ban captain should do something for this player otherwise target may goes up above 250.

[cozytrade]

The second match of ODI series is New Zealand Cricket Team vs Bangladesh Cricket Team. New Zealand cricket team won the toss and elected to bat first, New Zealand lost three wickets at the start of the game. New Zealand team batsman Finn Allen, Will Young, Chad Bowes none of them could play well.  These three players of the New Zealand team could not last long in the face of the Bangladesh cricket team's bowlers. But now Tom Blundell and Henry Nicholls at the crease have formed a great partnership between these two players. New Zealand cricket team's team score so far, 130 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 26 overs. If the pair of these two batsmen of the New Zealand team cannot be broken by the bowlers of the Bangladesh team, it is expected that New Zealand will be able to score big. But right now the weather in Bangladesh is very bad. Clouds are in the sky anytime rain can hamper this match as well. Now let's see what happens in the end

ireland vs England

The second ODI between Ireland and England has started. Ireland won the toss and decided to bowl first in the second ODI. Sam Hain, Jamie Smith, Tom Hartley and George Scrimshaw are making their debut for England in ODIs. England current score is 72 runs in a loss of 2 wickets after the first 10 over of powerplay. Will Jacks is playing at 38 runs not out in 31 balls. From England, 2 batters and two bowlers are making their ODI debuts for England in the second ODI against Ireland. Ireland bowlers bowled well and maintained pressure on England's batters especially Craig Young bowling outstanding picked 2 wickets by just giving 9 runs in 3 overs. Phil Salt scored 28 runs in 21 balls and Zak Crawley was out for a duck both wickets took by Craig Young. Ireland has a chance to win this match if they take 2 more wickets and restricted England under 200 runs.

NZ tail-enders are performing really well at the moment which could prove to be a big problem for Bongs who should have bundled them within 220 itself after breaking the Nicholls-Blundell partnership earlier.

Sodhi and Jamieson are stitching together what could possibly be a match-winning partnership.

[Popkon6]

New Zealand is not performing well in this ODI match today. Because of the bowling pressure of the players in the Bangladesh team, the fall of three wickets in the power play has kept the New Zealand team under pressure. With three wickets falling for 36 runs with the opening batsman, two New Zealand batsmen, Henry Nicholls and Tom Blundell, gave the New Zealand team a couple of runs. The New Zealand team is much ahead in this, but the Bangladesh team has performed very well in terms of bowling. If the Bangladesh team can protect the wicket and survive till the end, then there is definitely a chance to win. There are many experienced players in the squad for today's game which will surely get a win from the New Zealand team.

Bangladeshi bowler really improve much more than our expectations, they done magnificent job in recent tournament like Asia Cup and still continue his moments here too, first they took quick early on important wickets which really bend the NewZeland batting line-up and due to bad start they unable to manage a good partnership which really effect thier Total target. Later some middle order batter mange a decent partnership but unable to hold it long.
Now NewZeland lose his 9 wickets by scoring 240 and we can expect they will score around 250 or above because still they have two over left while still Sodhi on a crease who can make something good for his team, at one stage NewZeland struggle alot because they lose much wicket below 200 but some significant partnership of Sodhi and Jamieson make things better. Hope Bangladesh will scored the required target if they hold wickets in hands in early starting overs.

The contribution from the tail end have made New Zealand reach 254 runs. Looking at the scorecard of New Zealand, almost every player have scored little runs except few players who lost their wickets scoring single digit runs. Considering the average score on the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, today's score from New Zealand is good to defend. However Bangladesh being the home team have got its advantage. There is not much of difference on the result based on the team batting first and second. On a small difference batting second have won Matches out of the 128 matches played. Lets see what Bangladesh gonna do.

Bangladesh bowlers really did bowl well .They have tight though the score was so fast at the beginning .The bowling coach Allan Donald was working on seam and and finally he got the result .We have seen in Asia cup now on New Zealand series as well .Now they have only one weak point which batting and if i specific the point is opening .Now they have Tamim Iqbal and Litton .I think they are now more stronger than Asia cup team .I think score isn’t so tough to chase .We know New Zealand also have strong bowling line up Trent Boult are there and also quicky Luckie Ferguson .We can see a good battle on 2nd innings .So let's enjoy the match.

For a moment it looked like New Zealand will not score anything above 200 runs as they were struggling with the bat and not able to build partnership but the lower order batsman helped them reach a decent total to defend against Bangladesh. Hopefully rain will not interrupt in this match and Bangladesh will be missing the service of Shakib Al Hasan, if not it is not an impossible total for Bangladesh to chase in their home ground.

[onecall123]

Bangladesh has bowled out New Zealand for 254 in the second ODI. Now, Bangladesh needs 254 runs to win and take the lead in the series. It's a good fighting total for this Mirpur pitch. Credit goes to the 95-run partnership between Tom Blundell and Henry Nicholls. Chasing won't be easy as New Zealand's bowling line-up is strong. Bangladeshi batters need to be careful.

After rain intercepted the play in the first ODI, New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first in the second ODI. In 1st Odi New Zealand scored 136 runs in a loss of 5 wickets in 34 overs.

Today, Bangladesh bowled brilliantly from the start. Like the first match, Mustafizur Rahman bowled brilliantly today. So far Mustafizur Rahman has taken 2 wickets with 19 after bowling 5 overs. Bangladesh squad has been changed in today's match. Khaled Ahmed made his ODI debut today, picking up 1 wicket in the first over. Bangladesh's pace bowling is getting better today. So far New Zealand has scored 56 runs in 12 overs losing 3 wickets. Bangladesh will be far ahead to win the match today if they can get New Zealand all out before 250 runs.  Let's see how many runs New Zealand is able to give the target in the end.

New Zealand posted 254 runs in the loss of all wickets in 49.2 overs. A fighting knock from Tom Blundell comes to an end in 68 runs in 66 balls.I think Its a good total in this bowling support pitch. New Zealand.167 loss of 6 wickets in 34 overs after 254 runs tail-ender partnership between Ish Sodhu and Kyle Jamieson who scored 20 runs in 28 balls. Khaled Ahmed Bangladesh debt bowler bowled well picked 3 important wickets by giving 60 runs in 9.2 overs. Ish Sodhi was run out 17 runs at the non strikers end by Hasan Mahmud. The third umpire checked and gave OUT when Sodhi started walking out but Bangladesh skipper Litton Das and Hasan Mahmud called him back again. Sodhi hugged Hasan at the end and played a Crusial innings of 35 runs for New Zealand and helped him to cross 250 runs

[Sithara007]

Anyone watching the England vs Ireland match at Nottingham? England is looking very comfortable at 220/4 after 34.5 overs. Will Jacks missed his century, as he got out for 94, but still there is a chance that England may end up with somewhere around 360-380 after 50 overs. Josh Little has been proven expensive once again, as he has gone for close to 8 runs per over. Craig Young on the other hand was more than decent so far, with figures of 7-0-38-2. George Dockrell has been the best bowler for Ireland, picking up 3 wickets.
