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.

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.

In the 1st and 2nd matches of the series, South Africa won the toss and decided to chase. They have won the chase twice in a row, if the New Zealand team had won the toss they might have done better in the chase. After all South Africa's playing conditions were quite good. Looking at the playing conditions, one can naturally conclude that the South African women's team is quite strong. Their winning streak will continue in the coming matches as well and New Zealand team may be ahead in the T20 matches.

Yes also in the second match of this series, South Africa Women's team beat New Zealand Women's team by 7 wickets. However, in the first and second matches of this series, both the teams played a competitive game. Cricket lovers love to enjoy such exciting matches. South Africa Women's team has gained a lot of reputation by winning two consecutive matches in this series against Australia Women's team. In today's second match, Australia Women's batsmen played very well. However, Australia women's team players did not do well in bowling. If the bowlers of the Australian women's team could have shown a good bowling performance in this match today, the New Zealand women's team would not have been defeated in this match against the South Africa women's team.

[Haunebu]

Looks like Axar won't be returning thanks to his injury which sucks, but his replacement is Ashwin(The Man) who performed well in recent matches and is an invaluable asset to the Indian team.

I have no idea who they are going to choose between Iyer and Sky which is a crazy tough decision. Personally, I would choose Mr.360!

The South Africa team is back in the truck after the T20 series defeat against the Pakistan Women's team. South Africa Women's team won both the ODI matches against Pakistan Women's team by huge margins. And they are playing very well against the New Zealand women's team. South Africa Women won the first two of the 3-match ODI series. I would say that both the matches were dominated by the South African players. The performance of the New Zealand batsmen was quite good. They provided descent targets. However, it was not difficult for the South African women's team to win the two matches. New Zealand women's team set a target of 254 runs in today's match. South Africa women's team reached the target of victory with the loss of only 3 wickets. Opener Laura was unbeaten on 124 runs.

[Insanity]

South Africa women's player Laura's 124 runs helped the South Africa women's team win. Laura, the opener of the South African women's team, played the entire match. In today's match, New Zealand women's bowlers failed to take the wicket of opener Laura. I am very impressed by the performance of the South African women's team. South Africa won both matches in the ODI series between New Zealand Women's team and South Africa Women's team. Hope the South Africa women team will win the last match of this series as well. Congratulations to the South African Women's Cricket Team. I am really happy to enjoy this match today

The way South African women chased the score was remarkable. They chased down the target of 253 runs losing only 3 wickets. Their captain and opener Laura Wolvaardt alone scored 124 runs. Although i thought that earlier Amelia Kerr also played a good innings of 88 runs but this innings by Laura was even better.

As the South African team won the first ODI too, this is the series win for these girls. The third and final match will be played at Durban on this Sunday and I am pretty sure that SA will win that too.

[Patrol69]

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.

The third match could have been a bit better for India as in the third match India fielded six players from their original XI which included players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Siraj but still they unfortunately lost the match by 66 runs. I hope this defeat for India will be taken well by the Indian fans because what KL Rahul has done in the first two matches. Some of the top batsmen have batted well but unfortunately the batsmen from the lower order down have not supported the team well and the bowlers are too much in this match.  Expansive was the reason why India suffered a big defeat against Australia in this match.

South Africa women's team performed really well in today's match, and they won the match by 7 wickets. While opening batting, South Africa played in the last minute and scored 257 runs for the loss of 3 wickets, which was really interesting. South African batsman Laura Wolvaardt played a sensational batting that caught everyone's eye as she scored 124 runs off her stomach. However, the New Zealand women's team did not have a good bowling performance due to which wickets fell, and they lost today's match. South Africa women's team has won the two matches of the ODI series in an impressive manner, moreover, the next match and their form is sure to win the series. In today's match South Africa women team against New Zealand women team batting and bowling was the most exciting for which New Zealand women team lost, congratulations for South Africa women team gave an interesting game to all.

Here's the deal with the Indian team these days. They either play really well and destroy the opponent or they play like crap and lose by decent margins which implies that their performances are inconsistent.

This is alright in the regular matches of the World Cup, but they should be way more consistent during the critical matches of the marquee event.

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.

Yes, there is no one left to understand that this victory is convincing match. Because Australia lost the last two matches in a delicate situation. But Australia tried hard in the match. The ODI World Cup is just around the corner and the first match of the World Cup cricket will begin on October 5 with the match between England and New Zealand. India and Australia, the two big teams of the present time, will meet on the 8th. Meanwhile, India team is in good form but Australia have also recovered from their confusion. Due to the injury of Australian cricketer Aston Agar, one of the best players of the present time, Marnus Labuschagne, is getting a place in the team. Hopefully we will see a good match between these two teams in the world cup.

Team India is in good form before the start of World Cup and 15 players out of 15 players in the squad are in great form so Team India will be hot favorite in this World Cup.  

In the second match we saw India finish the way we did in the third match but we didn't see that at all. In the third match against Australia, India got all out they could not bat 50 overs.  
India need to ensure batting first 50 overs as well as make some changes in batting plan towards the end. I know in the third match it was difficult for the lower order batsmen to get the match out but if they could have done this tough job then we would not have noticed any flaws in their team.  

India must focus on finishing and those who play in the number seven to eight position must bat according to their position.

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.

Marnus Labuschagne has been called up to the Australia ODI World Cup squad, replacing the injured Ashton Agar. Marnus Labuschagne is Class batesmann replacing class spin Ashton Agar. I Think its a big loss for Australia. Beacuse It's hard Australia to win in chennai now for Australia. Especially when India are going to play spin trio to decimate your batters. But i would never write aussies in world Cup. Let see how they gonna handle it. After this win Australia bowlers and batters confidence will boost and they will enter in world cup for winning.

No doubt in his performance. Best out of Labuschagne is taking responsibility and playing when there is continuous fall of wickets. In many matches he had contributed good and saved the team from losing the matches. When it comes to spin bowling we can't be sure that India will dominate and Australia will be down. Aston Agar is a good bowler. Look at the previous match kuldeep Yadav had the economy of 8 rpo. At times spinners used to be dominant and I'm sure weather conditions were gonna be a big trouble throughout the tournament.

[noormcs5]

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.

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.

Well, I understand that lifting the World Cup for both Afghanistan and Srilanka teams is out of the question but both of these teams are capable of doing the upsets and that too not just once but multiple times.

When any of the strong teams is playing a match against them, they will have in the back of their mind that these are not easy teams and they need to fight hard to get a win from them.

Also another thing is this world cup is taking place in India, and the Asian region pitches support the Afghanistan and Srilanka spinners, Rashid khan may have a big role in this World Cup.

At times spinners used to be dominant and I'm sure weather conditions were gonna be a big trouble throughout the tournament.

Marnus Labuschagne is scoring runs, but he has been unable to convert the good starts that he got to 50s and 100s. Look at his performance during the series against India and South Africa. He has only one hundred to his name, although he made double digit scores in all the 8 matches (3 against India, 5 against South Africa). Anyway, he is a crucial player for the Australians in this world cup and if they want to lift the trophy then Marnus need to step up his game. One positive aspect is that he seems to have got adjusted to the weather and pitch conditions in India.

Some of the top batsmen have batted well but unfortunately the batsmen from the lower order down have not supported the team well and the bowlers are too much in this match.

India make a big change in world cup squad after the defeat from Australia, Ravichandran Ashwin is back in India ODI World Cup squad 2023. I think this is good addition in team india spin bowling attack. Ashwin is a thinking bowler and a very useful batsman, and in Indian conditions he will be very effective. He replaced the injured Axar Patel in the team. Its a good decision by Indian Cricket Board, Ravindra Jadeja and Aksar Patel are bowlers alike but the World Cup is being held in India an experienced cricketer like Ravichandran Ashwin will certainly benefit Team India and hopefully india has good chance to win world Cup.

Ravichandran Ashwin can be very lethal in Indian conditions (although he has recently improved his performance in the SENA pitches). But it needs to be seen whether he will get a chance to play in the ODI World Cup. For India, the first choice spinner will be Kuldeep Yadav, with Ravindra Jadeja backing him up. Ashwin will get a chance only if India decides to go with 3 spinners. But if they do that, then either one among the pace trio needs to be dropped (Mohammed Siraj-Mohammed Shami-Jasprit Bumrah) or Shardul needs to warm the bench.

BCCI has taken a good decision. Ravichandran Ashwin will play an important role for the Indian team considering the Indian conditions.  With Ravindra Jadeja as a left-arm all-rounder, a right-arm spin all-rounder was definitely needed for India. If Ravichandran Ashwin is in the XI, he will definitely be considered as a bowler, the batting performance he can expect may not be expected by the team management or the captain. 
We generally know that spinners thrive in Asian conditions, if spinners get four to five degrees of trun and can bowl a bit harder with it, that bowler will definitely make the most impact like Ravichandran Ashwin can. In addition to getting good bowling support, India may have valued the experience.

Australia beat India by 66 runs in the third match of the ODI series. Although the Australian team did not win the previous two matches against India but in the third match the Australian team performed well against India. In today's last match, Australia team managed to save some honor by winning against India. In today's match, India, a strong team, failed in both batting and bowling. The middle order and last order batting performance of the Indian team was very poor. If the Indian team could have improved their middle order and last order batting performance, India could have won today's match against Australia.

The Indian team performed well in the beginning but the worst performance came towards the end of the match. Although the opening first pair stayed on the field for a long time, the fall of wickets was high later due to which the Indian team lost by a wide margin. Meanwhile Australia team's batting performance was very good. I thank Maxwell. He has done the best bowling performance. He took 4 wickets with 40 runs in 10 overs which is the biggest achievement for the Australian team. It was because of this performance that the Indian team faced the toughest time and was forced to lose.
