ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Compromise me]

After winning the toss and deciding to bat first, the Australian team is still looking for a start. So far, the Indian opening bowling spell is accurate and has troubled the batters on almost every delivery. Australia is 16/1 after 6 overs. Smith seems in good touch. The wicket is not easy to bat on, and I think a score anywhere around 250 will be a par score. Indian middle order is strong and plays spin very well. This pitch will test their skills a lot.

That's right. Indian bowlers have kept Aussie batting lineup quite and score after 13 over is 59/1. The good thing for Australia is that they have wickets in hand and if they don't lose wickets till 30th overs then they have a platform ready for big score. Indian must keep this thing in mind that they also need wickets. Warner is going on with run a ball at the moment but he can be lethal if gets settle.

India destroyed middle order of Australia and India team bent match into their side in 16 - 30 overs. Now, this match is in control of  India and Maxwell and Cameron Green are on the crease . Both are new batsman and they will take a time to set on this wicket. India is performing good on this pitch and is home ground of India. Last World Cup which won by India was in India. Jadeja is bowling very well and he took 3 excellent wickets by giving 25 runs in 7 overs. Australian team is in struggle and if Maxwell sets on the wicket and he performs a century and both players build a partnership then match match can be interesting  but it is very difficult task for Australian batsmans because they lose 5 wickets in 30 overs.  300+ runs  are necessary to win against India in the home ground of India. Now, the score of Australia is 134 runs with fall of 5 wickets in 34 overs. Australia should score minimum 300 to win this match, otherwise
India is favorite.

Australia Cricket Team vs India Cricket Team. India is the favorite team in this match. In today's 5th edition of the World Cup, the Australia cricket team has won the toss and is batting first. Australia cricket team is trying to play by holding the wicket.  Because of this, the Australian cricket team is playing very slowly. Australia cricket team played 27 overs losing two wickets and collected 110 runs. Although the Australian cricket team continued to try to retain wickets, they could not make much headway in terms of scores. I think the Indian cricket team bowlers are continuing to bowl very well. But at the moment to weaken the Australian team. Stopping the wicket of Australian team batsman Steven Smith, is essential for Indian team bowlers. Now let's see how many scores the Australian team players can bat in the end

[Bd officer]

In the Australia vs India match, Australia won the toss and elected to bat. Australia should have won the toss and bowled, I don't know why today Australia chose to bat. Australia has batted very poorly today, so far Australia has scored 156 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 40 overs. Steven Smith and David Warner both played well, Steven Smith was dismissed for 47 runs, David Warner was dismissed for 41 runs. Today's match unfortunately did not see any batting half century from Australia. Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell both batted badly in today's match and Mitchell Marsh and Alex Carey both got out for 0 runs, if they could have performed well in today's match then Australia could have targeted more runs. Spin bowling has been better than India's pace bowling today, so far Ravindra Jadeja has bowled brilliantly and taken 3 wickets, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 2 wickets. India is ahead of victory over Australia in today's match. India will win today's match very easily.

Australia defiantly not in a good position at the moment. They have lost 9 wickets and score is just 194 runs. One over still to go and there is a possibility that Aussies may not be able to play there full 50 overs quota.
This gives a clear picture of how strong Indian bowling lineup is. Even Australians were not able to face them. This match will clearly give boost to India bowling for rest of the tournament.

The pitch turned out to be a nightmare for batters. In the first inning, Australia bowled out under 200, and now India is 3 down in 5 overs. The pitch might get a bit more difficult after a few overs, and will be interesting to see how AUS spinners bowl on this pitch. It will not be easy for India to chase down 200 on this pitch. Virat Kohli is the key here. If Australia gets the wicket of Kohli within 15 overs, India might not be able to chase this total. I am expecting a thriller today.

The way we stopped Australia before 200 runs, I thought India could easily win the match today. But according to Australia's runs and India's current runs, today's pitch can be confirmed as a bowling pitch. India lost 3 wickets for 0 runs to meet the target of 200 runs set by Australia on this bowling pitch. But India's position at the moment is not very easy. How much pressure India is under, can be understood by looking at their batting line. But yes if Australia can get Virat Kohli out before 15 overs then Australia will have more chances to win today. At this moment Australia has to lose wickets to win otherwise Australia can't win with such a low target.

[TakeItEasy]

Australia didn't play well in batting today, they all bowled for 199 runs, in which Steve Smith made 46 runs out of 71 deliveries consisting of 5 fours, and David Warner made 41 runs out of 52 deliveries, these two were the top scorers from the Australia Team. Except for these all failed to score more runs against India. Australia looking in trouble now. Will they resist India before 200?


On the other side, India 3 out on 40 runs in 14 overs. Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan Shreyas Iyer bowled out for 0 runs all. Virat Kohli is now on the crease with 23 runs in 45 deliveries which consists of only 1 four. Kl Rahul has also a score of 15 of 29 balls, consisting of 2 fours. They are also under pressure, but the target is not enough to defend on this pitch, as it is India's home ground. As well as Virat Kohli is on the crease it is difficult for Australia to defend the total.

At this moment Australia has to lose wickets to win otherwise Australia can't win with such a low target.

I think India will leave the field with a win today. India's three key batsmen returned to the dressing room without scoring any runs. However, the Kohli-Rahul duo has been able to build an excellent partnership. Two experienced Indian batsmen are batting with responsibility. India collected 49 runs at the end of 15 overs. India will win only if one of these two batsmen can survive at the crease. India also has some excellent batsmen like Souder Pandya, Jadeja and Ashwin. Ashwin and Jadeja are able to play well in the team. Despite losing 3 wickets very quickly, India still has a chance to win.

This gives a clear picture of how strong Indian bowling lineup is. Even Australians were not able to face them. This match will clearly give boost to India bowling for rest of the tournament.

In the first innings, Australia did not play spin bowling very well. It was a full bowling pitch. Finally they set a target of 200 runs. At first I thought that India will win easily. But in the first 2 overs of the 2nd innings, Australia is bowling brilliantly. Josh Hazlewood took 2 wickets and Mitchell Starc took 1 wicket down and turned the match upside down. However, if India wants to win the match, the partnership of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will have to be much better. Their main aim should be to play without losing wickets, then there is a possibility of winning the match. If this partnership breaks, then Australia has the highest chance of winning.

[cozytrade]

To reach the target of 200 runs set by Australia, India's batting was the source of frustration at the start of the second innings. The loss of 3 crucial wickets by the Indian team at the start of the game is, somewhat, a matter of concern. But I think the Indian team can overcome this disappointing batting very easily. India team still has many skilled players. I believe, India will easily reach the target of 200 runs once the batting comfort comes back. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli are now at the crease. A partnership is being observed between the two players. I think if the duo of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul can build, India will dominate the game in the second innings.  Despite Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan being very skilled players in the Indian team, it is a shame to get out without getting any runs in today's match.

After looking 200 target India faced a rough start with their top three batters getting dismissed for a duck. However, there's hope as both Kohli and KL Rahul are heading a solid partnership.

But, a significant moment arrived when Mitchell Marsh dropped Virat Kohli's catch. Australia's fielding took a hit. This could be a crucial point in the match. Kohli has been fortunate in this innings, and let's hope he capitalizes on this luck to steer India towards victory.

Australia are not in a very good position against India today and they managed only 199 runs losing all wickets. India's bowling line was very strong today due to which Australia couldn't score too many runs. But today's match is not good at all for Australia, they may not win today's match. As India have a good bowling line on their own ground and the batting line is currently doing well. Right now as Indian batsmen KL Rahul and Virat Kohli are at the crease they might both try to win the match. The batting performance of both of them is very good at the moment if they can sustain then surely it will be possible to win the match soon easily against Australia. Right now India need 120 runs off just 180 balls to complete the target set by Australia which I expect India to collect easily.

India  VS  Australia

I am very excited about the Australia vs India match tomorrow. The aim of both these teams is to become the champion of the World Cup this year. So the match is expected to be very competitive.

Australia team is not in very good form. They lost both the series before the World Cup against South Africa and India. The performance of their players is very erratic. Also, although the Australian batsmen performed well in the warm-up matches, the performance of their bowlers was not satisfactory. If the bowlers do not perform well against India, it will be difficult for Australia to win.

Today is a big match between the two giant teams. I would call them the two best teams of cricket will face each other today.
It is indeed very difficult to predict who will win today's match but it would be interesting to see how bookmakers think the outcome of the match.

I just checked Stake.com to get the odds and here we go ;

Australia All out in 119 runs in 49.3 Overs.Indian bowlers restrict Australia to below 200 runs in Chennai. India bowlers bowling very outstanding especially Ravindra Jadeja who picked 3 important wicktes by giving 28 runs only in 10 overs and Kuldeep Yadav also picked 2 wickets by giving 42 runs. Indian fast bowlers also picked wickets Jasprit Bumrah picked 2 wickets by giving 35 runs only in 10 overs, Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Siraj also picked 1, 1 wickets al Indian bowlers picked wickets and restricted Australia under 200. India current score is 82 runs in loss of 3 wickets in 20 overs they need 118 runs in 30 overs to win this match. Virat Kholi and Kl Rahul is playing very good if the partnership between Kholi and Rahul is more than 100 runs they will easly win this match.

Now let's see how many scores the Australian team players can bat in the end

In the first innings, Australia did struggle and, in this innings, India did struggle. India lost their best batsman but Virat Kholi and KL Rahul managed the score. Australia gave a very cheap target to India. KL Rahul and Virat Kholi just made 2 to 3 runs in every single over because they didn’t want to lose their wicket.

India can win this match, if KL Rahul and Virat Kholi stay on the crease. Otherwise, India can lose this match. I hope that Viral Kholi and KL Rahul don't disappoint their crowd.

I'd say Australia didn't struggle, gave a very poor performance, out of the top order batsmen, I haven't seen anyone batting responsibly except for S. Smith and D. Warner. Their performance as an ODI format was very bad today, looking at the bowling performance today I don't think Australia can win today. Moreover, due to being India's home ground, India will get extra benefits.
However, seeing the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer at the start, I thought Australia were going to improve their bowling performance today, but the way we are seeing the match now, it seems that Australia are currently under pressure. Virat Kohli and Rahul have already scored half-centuries, I think both of them might be able to touch the target today. So today I think India will won the match without any hesitation.

Even after losing 3 wickets for just 2 runs, India is playing well. And they are proving that they have a perfect squad to win the World Cup. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli both have collections of more than 50. And India collected 114 runs from this partnership. India collected 116 runs in 28 overs. At the moment it goes without saying that India are in control of the match. Australia's pace bowlers are not doing well. The pitch is spin-friendly, but Australia are using their pace bowlers.

India need 84 runs to win in 22 overs. It's not too difficult a task if they don't lose wickets. But since the pitch is bowling-friendly, if the bowlers do well, Australia still have a chance to win. Kohli and Rahul will need to pick up wickets quickly if Australia are to win.

[2Pizza410000BTC]

Own field, own environment. In this environment, India is moving forward with a different feeling in organizing the World Cup in their own ground. India bowled out Australia by 199 runs in the first match of the World Cup Australia. I was so surprised by India's bowling performance that India could easily win the match against Australia today. Then when India came into bat, Australia took three wickets for zero runs. After that India came under a lot of pressure. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul made a solid pair to overcome that pressure. At the moment, KL Rahul has collected 50 runs from 73 balls and Virat Kohli has collected 59 runs from 85 balls. India's victory was made much easier by these two beautiful batting. As much as I was scared at first, now it seems that India can easily beat Australia in today's match and start the first match of the World Cup with a good start.

What an amazing comeback by India after losing 3 wickets for 0 freaking runs. I applaud Kohli and Rahul for managing so well under crazy pressure. Their experience saved their team basically.

Australia are pretty much done in this match. Weird that Indian spinners bowled really well while the Australian spinners were not as good as them.

[TakeItEasy]

After looking 200 target India faced a rough start with their top three batters getting dismissed for a duck. However, there's hope as both Kohli and KL Rahul are heading a solid partnership.
But, a significant moment arrived when Mitchell Marsh dropped Virat Kohli's catch. Australia's fielding took a hit. This could be a crucial point in the match. Kohli has been fortunate in this innings, and let's hope he capitalizes on this luck to steer India towards victory.

Finally India won by 6 Wickets in just 41.2 overs. They achieved their target very smoothly, Virat Kohli scored 85 runs out of 116 balls consisting of 6 fours and no sixes has been involved in his innings. While Kl Rahul was the top scorer from the India Team today, scoring 97 runs in 115 balls consisting 8 fours and 2 sixes towards the boundary. Hardik Pandya came in and he scored 11 runs of 8 balls with a massive six.

Australia was not in the form, there bowlers and their batters hasn't play some impressive cricket today, although at the start the start of their bowling, they played really well by taking 3 wickets of India, and these 3 were all out for 0 runs, but then Virat Kohli and Kl Rahul gives a strong partnership to India. And finally after the good partnership between Virat Kohli And Kl Rahul leads India to win.

It was really shocking start from the Indian players, to be honest. They lost three wickets at two runs if I am not wrong.  After that it was Virat Kohli who actually saved them from that situation along with KL Rahul.  it was a little sad to see that KL Rahul did not get his century in the end, even though he was knocked out on 97.

In the end India actually was able to win this match pretty easily. But I definitely expected a better performance from Australia in both innings.  Australia actually showed a little disappointing performance, to be honest. I did expect India to perform well. After all the match is being played in India.  But I wanted this match to actually be a little closer.  it feels like the match was one-sided in the end.
