Today's 3rd ODI match of India vs Australia team has already started. Australia team came out to bat first and Australia team set a target of 352 runs in 50 overs.

It's really great and excited match to watch because both team show thier strength, unfortunately inform player of India shubman were not available may be due to rest factors but Australian side were really on fire, they were with thier classey complete strength starting XI which really punishment indian blower at starting over during bat first and thus it creat alot of pressure on indian batting Lineup, no doubt they have thier class player like Rohit and Kohli but unfortunately things were completely out of thier hands after few quick dismissal.
Anyway Australian side give a strong warning to all of those worldcup qualified team that don't underestimate them they are there for as a 6th time winner. Now let's just see how they survive 😉

This match was not an important match for India. And it's not even their World Cup squad. Many may think that losing like this before the World Cup is risky for India. But I don't think so. This is not India's World Cup squad. So India fans have no reason to worry.

Have you watched the 3rd ODI between India and Australia? Compared to the previous two match squad, India has played with a better squad today. Most of the players was from the world cup squad, except 2. The top order batsmen of Australia played very well today. Although I agree with the fact that India shouldn't worry about today's loss. Because, they have played very well in the ODI matches in this year.

Australia is played really cool today. Australia win 3rd ODI match against India by 66 runs. It's a fantastic win. Australia and India have gained a lot of reputation in the game of cricket and today those two strong teams played against each other and Australia played an incredible game. India played very well in the last 2 matches and beat Australia badly but in today's match Australia got their revenge ha ha.

I think India was actually going for a whitewash in this match. And I also believe they were on the right track to get it as well. But for some reason the middle order absolutely collapsed for them. And they were unable to do anything substantial with the middle and late order.

I think India was actually experimenting with Washington Sundar, they tried to play him as an opener. I don't think that has actually worked. And I also believe this was the only experiment they actually tried to do in this match. Otherwise India was definitely determined to win this match. Even though the match was not very important for this series. Australia was able to salvage something from this series. Of course, congratulations to Australia for that.

Opportunity needs to be well utilised, because the competence among the Indian players to be on the playing XI is really tough. Washington Sundar should have played good, but the performance from Rohit Sharma kept things in a better way. In today's match it was Glenn Maxwell who is the match turner. He was brought into bowling at the right time, and it looked like he kept taking wickets on every over. Everything looked like an unwanted one. Suryakumar Yadav and Rahul failed to perform when necessary. If they had contributed better, it could've been a winning match for India. Anyhow they won the series, but it should've been a win for India. Before the ODI World Cup good match to watch as the scores were 300+ runs.

Australia won the match by 66 runs. Australian cricket team played very well. Mitchell Marsh was the top scorer who scored 96 runs in 84 balls. Australia set a total of 352 runs. Bumrah took 3 wickets. And kuldeep took 2 wickets. From Indian side, Rohit Sharma Play excellent inning of 81 runs and Maxwell hunted him. Virat kohli made a half century for his country. Glenn Maxwell took 4 wickets by giving 40 runs in 10 overs. At the end, India lose by 66 runs.

Glenn Maxwell picked up 4 wickets and that surprised me. Shows how important the spinners are for this edition of the world cup. The good news for India is that apart from a few teams like Sri Lanka, the vast majority of their opponents (including Pakistan) doesn't have quality spinners. Afghanistan do have Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, but they are not in good form at this point. Adam Zampa, Adil Rashid, Mitchell Santner and Shadab Khan are not exactly world class material who can ensure the victory for their teams in Indian pitches.

Maxwell bowled brilliantly in the match. He picked up wickets at crucial points. His bowling does surprise me as well. Sri Lanka, I think, will miss the services of Hasaranga, who was exceptional in past tournaments. Still, they have quality spinners and can change the game single-handedly. Rashid and Mujeeb are good in T20s, but when it comes to ODIs, they are not performing up to their potential. I think, on the day, any spinner can change the game in the subcontinent conditions. In this World Cup, teams who are good against spinners can win the matches comfortably.

Well.. I agree on Rashid and Mujeeb. They are more suitable for T20 format, rather than ODI format. And regarding the absence of Hasaranga, it is going to be a big blow for Sri Lanka. But they do have quality spinner such as Maheesh Theekshana, Dhananjaya de Silva and Dunith Wellalage. On top of that, they have Matheesha Pathirana, who always perform well on Indian pitches. Sri Lanka's problem is not with their bowling anyway. For them, the main concern is with the batting (bowled out for 50 during the Asia Cup final match).

Bangladesh 15 Members Squad

Finally, after all the criticisms, the 15-member Bangladesh team is on the tour of India for the ODI World Cup. However, there are only three senior players and the remaining eight players have very little experience. There are some players who have no ODI experience but are included in the 15-man squad. Bangladesh's most favorite opening batsman Tamim Iqbal has been left out of this year's ODI World Cup squad, which is the most critical incident in the Bangladesh cricket arena at the moment. Although Mahmudullah Riyad has been given a place in the squad after much criticism, there has been a storm of criticism in the cricket management for not giving a place to Tamim Iqbal in the squad.

The three warmup matches that are scheduled for tomorrow will give an idea about the respective form of participating teams. India will not be in action tomorrow, as their first match is scheduled on 30th September. Today the most exciting match is going to be between New Zealand and Pakistan. Latter is not doing well at this point, while the Kiwis have won most of their recent matches. And they are boosted with the addition of Trent Boult and Tim Southee. The one between South Africa and Afghanistan is also going to be exciting, provided Afghanistan batting can offer some resistance.

The Afghanistan team is very strong, but only for the T20 format. Their performance in the ODI format has been very erratic. I don't expect much from this team in the World Cup as well. In the Asia Cup too, we saw a poor and erratic performance from Afghanistan. But the players of this team have the ability to play big innings.

It is unfortunate for Sri Lanka that Hasaranga is not in the squad. The group returned to the truck after a long period of poor performance. Sri Lanka has done well against Bangladesh and Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Sri Lanka's spin attack in particular was excellent. But the performance of their batsmen is very erratic. If the performance of the batsmen is not consistent, it is not possible to do anything good in the World Cup.

Afghanistan's progress in international cricket has been impressive, and they've consistently surprised us. Despite some inconsistency in the Asia Cup, I believe they will perform well in the upcoming World Cup.

Sri Lanka has finalized their World Cup squad, but it's disappointing that Dushan and Hasaranga won't be part of it. Simply performing well against teams like Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Nepal won't make them a quality side. Winning the World Cup requires a lot of hard work, also consistent performance. It won't be an easy task, and they need to focus on these aspects.

If we compare the rest of the teams in the World Cup, the Afghanistan team does not stand a chance in this tournament.In front of strong teams like India, Australia, South Africa and England, such weak teams will have a hard time in the world cup.Afghanistan still lacks the experience and talent to do well in any tournament.

There was a time when the Sri Lankan team was considered among the best teams in the world. The best performance could be expected from him in the World Cup, and he was often included in the favorite teams,but now their team is considered among the weaker teams.their performance is no longer the same as before.

I think these two teams cannot be expected to perform better in the World Cup. Weaker teams can pull off a single-match upset in the World Cup, but they cannot be expected to perform consistently well in the World Cup, because in the World Cup, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka will be pitted against the best teams in the world, who have It has the best bowlers and batsmen in the world.

Just read this article about how the Pakistan cricket team were treated when they entered India.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.livemint.com/sports/cricket-news/icc-world-cup-2023-pakistan-team-gets-warm-welcome-in-hyderabad-babar-azam-says-overwhelmed-with-love/amp-11695865341506.html

They were treated like superstars basically. This just goes to show how the beautiful game of cricket helped improve the relations between India and Pakistan over time despite their political issues.

Even in ODIs, Afghanistan performs well once in a while. Look at the match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka during Asia Cup. It was a very close match, and in the end Afghanistan lost the match by 2 runs. If you remember, during the previous edition also there was a very close match involving Afghanistan and Pakistan, which was again lost by Afghanistan. It looks like Afghanistan doesn't have enough experienced players to handle the pressure during close matches. And this may go against them during the ODI World Cup.

The match started between New Zealand women and South Africa women.
South Africa women decided to choose bowl first. I think this is nice to choose to bowl first for South Africa women because, in the last match, South Africa also bowl first and won the match with a good score.

I am not saying that Afghanistan cannot play well. They have good playing ability. They also have some excellent batsmen in the squad. Also their spin bowlers are doing pretty well. But the problem is that the performance of their players in ODI format is very erratic. This is why it is not certain whether the team will do well in the World Cup. They played very well in the Asia Cup against Sri Lanka. But even then the team lost the match till the end. However, I don't expect to see anything better than Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in this World Cup. The performance of these three teams is very erratic.

Australia winning by 66 runs a convincing victory in the third Odi against India. Given their past two series defeats, the Australia team recovery was impressive. They scored a respectable total of 352/7 in 50 overs, with M. Marsh scoring the most runs with 96. India performance in the match was poor as both their batting and bowling faltered. R. Sharma led India in scoring with 81 runs, while the middle and lower orders struggled the reason of loss of India. Ashton Agar, an all-rounder for Australia has been ruled out of the upcoming ODI World Cup. I think it is a significant setback for Australia.

Ashton Agar is not a regular member of the Australian team and he has limited experience of playing in Indian conditions. So I am not sure whether his absence will have a major impact. But the fact that Australia were able to secure a large win against India, that too while playing against them at their home turf should be a big morale booster. I am more concerned with Indian bowling, as some of the pacers were just too expensive. Jasprit Bumrah went for 8.1 runs per over, while Mohammed Siraj had economy rate of 7.55.

The match started between New Zealand women and South Africa women.
South Africa women decided to choose bowl first. I think this is nice to choose to bowl first for South Africa women because, in the last match, South Africa also bowl first and won the match with a good score.

If wee see current match situation this is favor to New Zealand women because they set a good target for SA women and give 253 runs by playing 49.5 overs and lost all wickets. A.kerr, M.Green and H.Rowe show good performance in batting inning and A.kerr scored 88 runs so close to century but unfortunately out by N.Mlaba player of SA women team. M.Green scored 43 runs in 50 balls and third one scored H.Rowe 40 runs in 57 balls. Now SA women team batting started and they scored 39 runs in 7 overs by losing 1 wickets now they need 213 runs in 43 overs. This match is going to be interesting and intense in both teams.

The New Zealand women's team batted first and collected 253. Performed well enough as the New Zealand women's players were under wicket pressure from the start. And in terms of bowling and performance, the players of the South African women's team have done very well. Some of the players in the New Zealand women's team performed very well including Amelia Kerr who scored 88 runs on her own. But now South Africa started batting 1 wicket fell in power play and 39 runs so far. If South Africa can defend their wickets and stay on the field till the end then they definitely have a chance to win this match today.

New Zealand woman put up a good performance and set a target of 253 runs but the target is too low to win as south Africa Woman have scored 203 runs for the loss of three wickets in 35 overs.South Africa Woman L.wolvaardt who are batting very well and continue their inning and complete the century by scoring 103 run 118 balls.Currently, South Africa women need 85 runs from 51 runs, which they will easily achieve and defeat New Zealand.

New Zealand Women's Team vs South Africa Women's Team. Batting first in today's match, New Zealand Women set a target of 254 runs to South Africa Women for the loss of all wickets in 49.5 overs. As we saw in the first match of this series, the base of the South Africa women's team is stronger than that of the New Zealand women's team. So with a target of 254 runs, against South Africa Women, New Zealand Women's chances of winning the match are very low. If the New Zealand women's team could score some more runs in today's match, New Zealand could have easily won against South Africa. I would say the New Zealand women's team played well enough. Now let's see how much fortune favors New Zealand to win the match
