ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Sithara007]

New Zealand had decided to show off their revenge to the England in the first match itself.It was the biggest reason for the England to bowl first.Since the ground favour for the batting,the Root and Butler made his good strike today.The New Zealand made the complete target in 36.2 overs and made the England to feel guilty on the first game itself.We all know the game of Conway was unique in the New Zealand team,but no one thought the Rachin will made his hundred in the game against the England and occupy the heart of cricket fans all around the world.

Well.. this match was special. It was more like payback for the stolen match in 2019 (world cup final between England and New Zealand). Anyway, this edition of the world cup got the best possible start. No one actually expected New Zealand to win, especially after it was known that Tim Southee and Kane Williamson will not be playing due to injury. It came as a surprise that Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra were able to put up an unbeaten 273 run partnership for the 2nd wicket, and that too at almost 8 runs per over.

It is going to be tough on Netherlands. They haven't played an ODI against a full member team, ever since the world cup qualifiers in June. They played two warmup matches against one of the first-class teams (Karnataka) and lost both the matches. And then they had a warmup against Australia, where the top order batsmen were dismissed cheaply by Mitchell Starc and company. BTW, they had a few close matches against Pakistan in recent times. Last year, they played against Pakistan for a 3-match ODI series. Pakistan won all the matches, but two of them were really close.

In the Pakistan vs Netherlands team match, the Netherlands team has won the toss and decided to bowl. Now the Pakistan team has come to the field to bat. They have scored 48 runs in 10.3 overs. Now the Pakistan team batsmen are under pressure after losing 3 wickets.  In this match Pakistan team's batsmen will be under a lot of pressure. However, Pakistan team can give a target of 250 runs if they play with wickets now. Netherlands team is far behind Pakistan in batting. So Pakistan team has more chances to win this match.

Netherlands had a good start today, they picked 3 quick wickets. Now Rizwan and Saud doing repair works for Pakistan, they both have a partnership of 43 runs between them. Lot much depends on how this pair score runs. Netherlands must try to pick few more wikcets quickly otherwise all good work done in the start will be undone.

Netherlands won the toss and decided to bowl first that a good decision.  Netherlands bowling wery well and get wicket of Top order bastmen of Pakistan. Fakhar Zaman score only 12 runs in 15 balls, Babar Azam also score not only made 5 runs and  Imam ul haq is also score 15 runs in 19 balls. Pakistan lost his 3 wickets by just scoring 38 runs in 9 overs. Netherlands bowling well Colin Ackermann picked big wickets of Babar Azam. Now current score of Pakistan is 100 plus runs in 19.3 over. Muhammad Rizwan and Soud Shakeel is playing outstanding.

Pakistan is batting right now in the first innings. They have lost three wickets so far and they have scored 101 in the 20 overs that have been played so far. Pakistan did not start very well. They actually lost three wickets pretty early. They lost the third wicket on 38. Right now, Rizwan and Shakeel are in the middle and they are playing sensible cricket. A very good partnership is forming between them. But I have to say I expected a better performance from Babar Azam.

Anyway, I am still pretty sure that Pakistan is going to end up winning this match. Still, a long way to go in this match.

Second match of Icc world cup already started a little while ago between Pakistan and Netherlands team. I really enjoyed first match of this world cup. Now Pakistan team batters doing batting and they scored 135 runs in 24 overs by losing 3 wickets. At present, M.Rizwan and S.Shakeel show great performance and both made good partnership. M.Rizwan scored 48 runs in 56 balls with not out and he hitted six 4s and S.Shakeel made half century and scored 58 runs in 41 runs also not out and he hitted eight 4s and one 6s. If Pakistan these batters will not out at the end of match then they set a tough target to Netherlands. Captain of Pakistan (B.Azam) not perform great and out at 5 runs.

[Popkon6]

Pakistan team's Babar Azam is quite angry because the game of cricket has to start with patience. The ball that got Babar Azam out should have been free, he could have stayed on the field for a long time. And the current pair of Rizwan and Saud Shakeel have been scoring good runs for Pakistan. But if they can stay on the field for a long time, then surely the Netherlands can give the team a big score. If Pakistan team wants to present a competitive game to the visitors in this ODI match, then they must protect the wicket and stay on the field till the end. Because meanwhile the Netherlands team is quite strong as they are already ready to fight. Pakistan must score big runs to win.

[MusaPk]

Pakistan team in deep trouble. They have lost 6 wickets so far and net score is just 188. It looks like that Pakistan won't be able to play there full 50 overs quota today. Saud Shakeel and Rizwan are the top scorer with 68 runs each. This is not a good start of the tournament from Pakistani side, with this batting they won't be able to progress much further in the tournament.

Since the Asia Cup, we have been seeing Pakistan's poor performance. And I stopped watching the game after watching the first 10 overs of today's match. I don't expect such poor performance from an experienced team like Pakistan. Their opponents are relatively weak. The Netherlands team can be considered weak compared to other teams in the World Cup.

Pakistan collected 219 runs after losing 6 wickets in 39 overs. If Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan survive at the crease, maybe the team will collect 280 runs. But I was disappointed by the performance of Pakistan's top order. This is Fakhar Zaman. Babar, Imam and Iftikhar are not playing well. Pakistan has more chances to win this match so far. Even so, their performance is that of an average team.

They have made good recovery. Shadab Khan and Shadab Khan have added 45 runs for the 7th wicket and Pakistan are now 233/6. It looks as if they will end up with a total of somewhere around 320 (they have 9 overs remaining). But Pakistan should be careful not to lose another wicket. Bas de Leede will be bowling 5 of the remaining overs and he is quite capable of taking wickets during depth overs. And if they lose another wicket, then they are down to the tail, with Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf to come next.

Pakistan will set a target of 280-300. They collected 250 runs in 43 overs. There is no way to call it a bad collection. The Pakistan team scored an average of 5.8 runs per over. But the problem is that the opponent here is the Netherlands. It would not be wrong to say that Netherlands' bowling line-up is the most inexperienced bowling line-up of the World Cup. Pakistan's top order failed against such bowlers. I am worried about what they will do against the bowlers of India, England and New Zealand. Pakistan were favorites in today's match. Even if a target of 260 is given, I think the chances of Pakistan winning this match are high. But in the first match, such a start against a weak team is risky for Pakistan.

[JohnBitCo]

Pakistan's performance was not good in today's match. Pakistan lost 9 wickets against the Netherlands. Pakistan is one of the best team of cricket, especially in the ODI. In the warm-up matches, Pakistan's batting performance was amazing but not in the actual match. The Netherlands is not a good team but they play a very well in today's match. Netherlands' bowling was good, they took too 9 wickets of the Pakistani's best batsman.

Pakistan team bowled out for 286 runs in 49 overs. They must be be pleased to give a target of 287 to Netherlands under current circumstances. Babar Azam has so many records to his name but never seen him performing when required. If Netherlands can bowl out Pakistani batting lineup then what they will do against teams like Australia and England.

What you are saying about Babar Azam is unfair, the Pakistan team should not be dependent on one single player. Today we saw most of the batter after Babar contributed to the target of 287. Even the tail-enders did their level best to get Pakistan to the expected score. The Netherlands did bowl and fielded well, they did their homework but they lost the advantage that they had initially. Now we will see some of the best bowling by Pakistan in order to win the match.

ICC World Cup
And I hope that Pakistan will win today match. Pakistan will perform well in today match. But we can't underestimate the Netherlands team too. So let's see what will happen? My best wishes with Pakistan.

Our expectations were same as we taught that paksitan is well balanced team and the most important things is they have favorable Asian conditions but thier performance really disappoint us because again opening out form batter failed to scored a decent runs which ultimately execute pressure on lower order as a result just small mistake of baber trashed them. No doubt he is a class player but not everytime it's duty to score decent, the rest of the player should contribute too because most of time teams won by the dedicating and hardwork of entire team not just single player. 280 around is not a target to defend on such flat pitches against any team. I think it will be a confirmed defeat for team paksitan if thier bowler didn't took early on important wickets

[3kpk3]

Pakistan put themselves in a great position after giving a target of 286 runs after losing 3 quick wickets at the beginning and middle phases. The partnership that saved them was between Shakeel and Rizwan.

Leede bowled really well. Netherlands have a couple of good batsmen, but I don't think they will score above 250.

Why not? of course i also think cricket fans especially Pakistani cricket fans expect a lot from Babar Azam because he is a key player (batsman) in the team, so definitely it’s unexpected, top ordered played very worst. Just for a big partnership at the end they collected a good score. I think if Netherlands can play 50 overs than may be they can win, but it will be difficult to face Pakistani bowlers you know they have strong bowling line u, so NED can lost all wickets and lost this match, already 1 wicket down in Netherlands, let's see what happened.

Pakistan, batting first after the toss, got bowled out in 49 overs due to disciplined bowling from the Netherlands.

This Netherland teams had a close call against Pakistan in a recent series. Now, they have a good chance to beat them. However, the outcome might not be in their favor. It's not that they are a weak team, but they lack experience in big-ticket tournaments. Anyway it would be great to see them win, but that's gonna happen today.
