I think more upsets can be expected from Sri Lankan team than Afghanistan. I don't think strong teams will have any problem playing against these two teams, because these two teams do not have any special performance, which can give a tough time to a strong team. Of course, Asian pitches always favor spin bowlers, and both of these teams have good spinners, but no team can compete against a strong team with spinners alone.

 To win a match against any strong team you have to perform well in all three areas of the match. Rashid Khan is a good player but no team gets much benefit from any one bowler or batsman in their team, rather good bowlers sometimes face a lot of trouble against good batsmen on Asian pitches.

Currently, quality difference is widening between top six teams and others which is surely not ideal because we have small community in this sport with recently things which are hurting badly it's another talk but right now in this world cup most chances we will have few clear things with India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand and Pakistan clearly going into top with other four are will be stayed at the bottom with this all situation we need good work from the ICC for the improvement of this game, and they also need to work on few things as well as bring just two formats and have more teams in T20I which play more and have experience which helps them for the game.

No doubt we have few quality players in these lower rank teams but here we have to understand it's 11 player game which need good effort from all for the win and having better results just going with one or two players now can't bring positive results.

Today is the third and last match of Women International tournament South Africa-W against New Zealand-W. South Africa-W already won previous two matches and leads by 2 victories this match is quite thrilling and now South Africa-W batting live and they played almost 45 overs and give 209 runs target which seems not good and low target for New Zealand-W. Lea Tahulu took 3 wickets and also Sophia Devine took 3 wickets of South Africa-W batsman. I only like Marizanne Kapp performance because they scored high runs from whole team. I feel that New Zealand-W would chase this target I almost 40 overs if they save their wickets then highly possible to win this match

Rain has continuously affected matches since the Asia Cup. Although these are warm-up matches, rain is still spoiling the mood of the World Cup.
Let's hope these rain spells will be over, and we will see a complete 100-over game in the World Cup.
Any of my friends from India please tell us about the weather forecast in India for the next couple of months.

One more thing which annoyed me today is that there is no warm up match scheduled for today. Why ?

Today is Sunday, a holiday in most parts of the world and people would be free today and would be wanting to see some live cricket in action, but the schedule is no match on this Sunday, making it a bit boring day.

Still can't figure out the reason for this

The ssouth african women's team has already won the series by winning the first two matches . And so today's match is not a very important match for south africa.  In the last two matches  we saw very good batting from the batsmen  of the south african women's team . But today their batting was very weak.  The team lost all the wickets to collect only 209 runs . It is very difficult to beat new zealand womens team with such a low target.  However  South Africa women's bowlers have a chance to win if they perform well...

The top order of the south africa women's team did not play well in this match . South africa would have lost all wickets before 150 had it not been for middle order Marizanne Kapp's brilliant innings of 72 runs.

New Zealand Women's batsmen are batting with responsibility. The target is not too high. The New Zealand women's team will easily win this match if they can survive at the crease.
Opener Suzie Bates returned to the fold with just 9 runs off 25 balls. But Amelia Kerr is batting very well in today's match. He scored 30 runs off 37 balls unbeaten. The New Zealand women's team collected 54 runs in 11 overs. 156 runs in 34 overs will not be a difficult task unless the team loses wickets very quickly. However, it is very difficult to make predictions about women's cricket matches. The performance of almost all teams in women's cricket is very erratic.

You are expecting the impossible. It's currently monsoon season in India which implies that these are seasonal rains and they will definitely affect a good portion of the upcoming World Cup.

Well, it seems thar New Zealand women team is keen to win this one day match to have a positive end to the series. They need almost 90 more runs in the remaining 18 overs and this is indeed very much possible. The required run rate is only 4.85 and with 7 wickets in hand, there is no way that New Zealand can lose this match.

Well, if you were betting on the match, you would have chosen South Africa women's team as they have won the first two matches. But you will lose the bet today as New Zealand may win. I usually bet on the weak team if the series results have already been declared and the current match results are no longer important.

[Shishir99]

However, India is a very big country and a rain forecast in one city may not mean that the other city will also have the same weather conditions.

This is a fact to keep an eye on. Because India's weather has too many variations in the same season. For example, it's kind of hot in Mumbai at this moment while it's cold in Himachal Pradesh where Bangladesh will play their first match against Afghanistan. So, Bangladesh had to get extra jackets to keep them warm.

I am getting the feeling that several matches might end up with no result because of the rain. Warm-up matches already got washed out without even a ball bowled. But I am hoping for the best.

NZ women team has won the third ODI quite comfortably today and avoided a whitewash. SA women has already won the three match ODI series by winning two opening games of the series. Amelia Kerr scored an unbeaten 100 runs and was the prime reason for NZ success today. From south africa side Marizanne Kapp was top scorer with 72 runs.

After losing the first two ODI matches against South Africa, New Zealand bounced back in the third match. New Zealand sealed a big six-wicket win over South Africa Women in the third ODI. We expected such a comeback from the New Zealand women's team. New Zealand could have made a comeback from the second match but they came back in the third match which did not save them from a series defeat but rather the shame of a whitewash. 

After losing the ODI series in South Africa surely New Zealand will now plan for the T20 series and I believe New Zealand will not lose the T20 series.

The first match of every series is very important, if you can do well in the first match then it is very easy to do well in the next matches so hopefully New Zealand will try to win the first match.

[ZAINmalik75]

NZ women team has won the third ODI quite comfortably today and avoided a whitewash. SA women has already won the three match ODI series by winning two opening games of the series.

South African women team performance were bad Compared to thier opening two matches of the series and I think they were 40 to 50 runs shorter to score. but I think the main responsible for such situation were rain because due to rain interpretation 50 over turn down to 45 which really impact them and will not allow them to score such critical runs. While on the other hand thier bowler delivered some bad deliveries which really help Thier opponent to set his position catch momentum and build some significant partnership which will reduce as much as possible pressure on them and thus single magnificent innings of A. Kerr turn entire match and safe them from brutal whitewash series

[noormcs5]

After losing the ODI series in South Africa surely New Zealand will now plan for the T20 series and I believe New Zealand will not lose the T20 series.

Well, we should know that South Africa women's team lost today's match because at the back of mind they knew that they had won the series and even if they lost this match, it would have no impact. If this was a series decider, the South African women's team approach would be much different toward this match.

So SA women's team is more stronger and they have more chances of winning the T20 series as well.

The first match of every series is very important, if you can do well in the first match then it is very easy to do well in the next matches so hopefully New Zealand will try to win the first match.

Again this is not the right logic. How many times we have seen teams losing the first match of the series but still coming back and winning the series? Yes, you do get an advantage by winning the first match of the series but nothing is certain as to who can win the series.

I usually bet on the weak team if the series results have already been declared and the current match results are no longer important.

In the end the New Zealand women's team won a match. New Zealand's bowlers did not perform well in the first two matches. This is the reason why the New Zealand women's team could not win even after giving a descent target. But in today's match New Zealand bowlers bowled very well. And this is why South Africa women lost all their wickets to score 209 runs. New Zealand team reached the target of victory by losing only 4 wickets today. Amelia Kerr was unbeaten with 100 from 117 balls. He batted very responsibly from the beginning of the innings.

I don't usually bet on women's cricket. Because the performance of most teams in women's cricket is very erratic. Betting on women's cricket is very risky.

So SA women's team is more stronger and they have more chances of winning the T20 series as well.

South Africa is a very strong team as you said, I think South Africa is a very strong team but you can't easily take the teams that are against them. If one team plays against another team and if one team is a bit stronger than the other team then the weaker team but never expect them to lose, if South Africa is the stronger team in this series then New Zealand will fight against South Africa.

The first match of every series is very important, if you can do well in the first match then it is very easy to do well in the next matches so hopefully New Zealand will try to win the first match.

Again this is not the right logic. How many times we have seen teams losing the first match of the series but still coming back and winning the series? Yes, you do get an advantage by winning the first match of the series but nothing is certain as to who can win the series.

Where do I write that if they win the first match they will win the series. Be it ODI or T20 format, if a team wins the first match out of three matches, they have two chances to win the series but the losing team has no chance. The team that loses first will be under pressure to win both of the next two matches because if they lose any match then they will not only lose this match but also lose the series. I must not have spoken without logic.

Good performance from New Zealand women. Even though they lost the first week at early, they were able to make important partnerships all along. But I think the target from South Africa women team was not very good in the first place. If the target was anything near 270/280 I think they might have had a genuine chance of winning. But with such a small target, they had to perform really well in the second innings. But they were not able to do that. New Zealand was able to perform really well and win the match quite easily in the end. Nice century from Amelia Kerr. She also stayed in the middle to make sure that New Zealand won the match.

Along with New Zealand, South Africa also played very well.  and scored almost equally. However, the New Zealand women's team won the match on the DLS method. The standard of play of both the teams was very good but since New Zealand won the match they can definitely be said to be more better performance. The women's team rarely plays like this. So this match was very enjoyable. New Zealand is doing very well in the game of cricket as their men's team as well as the women's team is seen performing very well

[GigaBit]

The match ended without any result. Netherlands is no way a team that can beat Australia in ODI contest. Netherlands have lost this game if its evaluated by DLS Method. There were only two Netherlands batsmen that were able to make it to double figures i.e. Colin Ackermann and Scott Edwards. From this performance it looks very clear that Netherlands is there to give 2 points to every team.

Netherlands are 84 runs in lost of 6 wickets in 14.2 Overs while chasing 167 runs in 23 overs. Mitchell Starc took a hat-trick against the Netherlands in the warm-up match. Netherlands very poor performance three bastmen gone for duck Max Dowd is out for duck, Wesley Barresi also score zero and Bas De Leede Score 0 at 1 ball. What a bowling performance by Australia especially Mitchell Starc picked up 3 wickets in just 3 over and Sean Abbott also bowling well picked up 1 wicket. Netherlands bastmen Colin Ackermann batting well score 31 runs unbeaten in 37 balls and Scott Edwards score 14 runs in just 10 balls.

Australia is strong posting to win this match but Rain intercepted and match was washed out. Three out of 5 warm-up matches so far have been interrupted by rain in ICC World Cup 2023. First Sirlinka and Afghanistan match called off due to Rain, India vs England and Australia vs Netherland are also washed out due to Rain. I though ICC should move the World Cup to the United Emirates because it is rainy season in India. Entire World Cup should be washed out due to rain wrong time chosen for World Cup in India. I think world cup will be scheduled in November or December month. But i hope Rain will not interpreted futher matches of World Cup in India.

If a full innings had been played, Australia would have almost certainly won. Because they have the best bowlers and they are also good at fielding. It can be said that Australia's position is after India in cricket in this time especially in terms of performance. However, Australia is currently ranked 3rd. Although Pakistan is leading in terms of points but there are many criticisms in the cricket circles about how far they can ahead in this World Cup, their consistency is questionable.

Netherlands in 14th place in ranking who had almost a 99 percent chance of losing against Australia. The Australian team will get another chance against Pakistan on October 3. Hopefully they will be able to get an early idea of the team's performance before the World Cup.

Good performance from New Zealand women. Even though they lost the first week at early, they were able to make important partnerships all along. But I think the target from South Africa women team was not very good in the first place. If the target was anything near 270/280 I think they might have had a genuine chance of winning.

New Zealand was able to perform really well and win the match quite easily in the end. Nice century from Amelia Kerr. She also stayed in the middle to make sure that New Zealand won the match.

This was dead rubber match with series already won by South Africa after having wins in first two ODI's recently South African performance is impressive because they won their second series in last few weeks first won against Pakistan in Pakistan and now having New Zealand at home which is good for them.

First two matches were completely one-sided affair as home side won without any problem but in third ODI they were not good as they needed so New Zealand having consolation win which is also good for them, but recently they are going down in quality and South African are having good time which is giving them third rank in Women's ODI ranking behind Australia and England.
