ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Compromise me]

Yes, Afghanistan team came in the pitch for batting because they gave a opportunity to India team for bowl first in the pitch. Afghanistan repeating same mistake as they decided to take first batting in previous match against Bangladesh team. Their performance was not highly good and they set low and small target. Perhaps this time, they have any strategy and fully prepared themselves for this match to get victory but we are all know that India has a strong and dangerous team on cricket world. Afghanistan made 50 runs by playing 10 overs and also they lost Ibrahim Zardan after he making 22 scores. Hopefully, both teams give a challenging time to each other and India has lot of chance to win this match but anything can happen in cricket.

I don't think Afghanistan made the wrong decision to bat first, the Delhi pitch is a good batting pitch. What I am curious to see is whether they can give a good target to India. They have already lost two wickets, Gurbaz got out because of a clever catch taken by Thakur. The current run rate is below 5 which is bad on a batting track. They need to up their tempo otherwise they won't be able to get a decent score on the scoreboard. I believe anything above 280 by Afghanistan will not be that easy to chase for the Indian batters.

It's really hard to predict with this team whether they can score big or not. Because they are the kind of team that can break down at any time, some one think that they will be able to score 250 runs but it may be difficult for them to score even 200 runs they are totally unpredictable. It is difficult to trust the team. So far they have managed to score 118 runs so today's match has the potential to turn into a big score as they still lost only 3 wickets. If they can somehow give a target of more than 350 runs then Afghanistan can be expected to win the match. We will be able to see a lot of drama before we get to that position so it will be very difficult to expect a win even though Afghanistan are in a good position at the moment.

Afghanistan scored  272 runs against India. lndia is super power in Cricket. India will easily because batting of India is very strong  and India iS performing well in last matches and Indian batsmans are in form. Rohit Sharma is performing well and he is not out on  88 score for facing  52 balls. Ishan Kishan  is also on the crease by making  30 runs in 32 balls. And Indian team score is 125 with fall of no wicket. This is not a big total for India, India will chase this score under 40 overs. Indian batters are in form, especially Pandya is very dangerous player and has ability to bend match to their side. Jasprit Bumrah took 4 wickets by giving  39 runs in 10 overs and Hardik Pandya took  2 wickets by giving 43 runs in  7 overs. From Afghanistan side, Hashmatullah shahidi  performed excellent inning and  made brilliant 80 runs with just 88 balls.

2nd highest total for Afghanistan in Cricket World Cups 272/8 in 50 Overs. Two excellent knocks from Shahidi and Omarzai helped their team to reach 270, which is undoubetly a fighting total for Afg. After a solid hundred-run partnership between Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai, India successfully restricted the Afghanistan innings under 300 with the help of Jasprit Bumrah four-fer and Hardik Pandya excellent spell 2/43 in 7 overs. India restricted Afghanistan to 272 runs, with Jasprit Bumrah claiming four wickets and Hardik Pandya securing two wickets.

According to the current situation India is playing really well and they have made 75 runs without any lost. The opening partnership is playing well. Rohit Sharma already made 60 runs on 33 balls. Rohit is playing decently. If this partnership will remain on pitch so in 25 overs India will chase the target. By the way no one can say anything at this time. But the situation is saying that India will win this match.

All stage is set for the huge match which is going to play on Saturday so both teams currently doing good job with India against Australia have some early trouble but now in this game they are back in bang which is good for this competition.

Today as Rohit hitting Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman I am really surprised because I was no expecting poor bowling like this from these quality spinners. Now after 25 overs we have 205 runs with the lost of one wicket as Ishan Kishan gone after having century partnership with his captain Rohit Sharma with most chances he is going to have another opening stand on Saturday with Rohit Sharma Shubman Gill is still not full fit for the game after recovering from the Dengue.

Edit: Rohit Sharma got out by Rashid Khan in 26th over after securing his hundred on 84 balls.

Batting early in the game, the Afghanistan team managed to complete the full 50 overs, but failed to score big. Afghanistan finished the first innings with 272 runs in 50 overs. Afghanistan team did not do well in top order and last order batting. The fear of falling wickets was the most active among the players of the Afghanistan team. That's why the batsmen of the Afghanistan team could not take the risk of playing shots. But the Afghanistan team batting for the entire 50 overs against the Indian bowlers is a big success for the Afghanistan team. I think, with this bit of success, Afghanistan team should be satisfied with today's match. Moreover, there is no hope for the Afghanistan team. Because 273 runs are very few runs for the skilled batsmen of Indian team.

At this time, Rohit Sharma did very well score so we can see that Afghanistan is clearly losing today’s match, and India has too many chances to win this match. Ishan Kishan also did a very good score, he plays like an ODI match and this is a match but Rohit Sharma plays like a T20, not even T20 he plays like a T10. India needs just 100+ in 27+ over. I don’t know how India could not chased this target from here on in.

I know that the match is in the progress but I know that India can easily chase this target. This is a very sad thing for Afghanistan people. If Rohit Sharma will out so India also have Virat Kholi, Hardik Pandeya, and other best players who can come and bat, so there is hardly any chance for Afghanistan.

Rohit Sharma showed his ability and power by achieving one of the fastest hundreds at the men's ODI World Cup, living up to his 'Hitman' nickname. As the captain, he led the team from the front, making batting look effortless when he's in full swing. Whenever Afghanistan players face India, they often seem to struggle and appear exhausted. The Afghan bowlers had a tough time against the Indian batting line-up today. They managed to get Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma's wickets, but it wasn't sufficient. Currently, Kohli and Iyer are at the crease and looks like confident in chasing the target.

In today's match of India vs Afghanistan team, Afghanistan team came out to bat first and gave a target of 272 runs in 50 overs. Now India team came out to bat. They scored 223 runs in 28.3 overs. Till now India team has lost 2 wickets.  Team India will win very easily. Team India needs 39 runs to win. Rohit Sharma is out for 131 runs in 84 balls. Ishan Kishan is out for 47 runs in 47 balls. Team India has started a good performance in batting.

[cozytrade]

The Indian cricket team's batting performance is making Indian fans happy. India is going to win the match very easily against Afghanistan in this match. India need only 62 more runs to win this match.  India played 26.1 overs, losing only 2 wickets. The Indian team still has enough wickets and overs in hand. India's win against Afghanistan by a huge margin, we will see in no time. The mesmerizing batting of Indian cricket team's batsmen has won the hearts of cricket lovers. I am waiting to see the victory of India in this match today. Hope it will be successful soon

Now this time, R.Sharma dismissed from R.Khan hands he is a good bowler from Afghanistan side. But his bowling performance was not enough for whole Afghan team to win this ninth match from powerful Indian team. Right now, Indian team needs 31 runs in 18 overs (equal to 108 balls) and 6 wickets remaining. Rohit Sharma batting performence was outstanding and alone nearly he chase down half runs which whole team of Afghan could be scored. He scored 131 runs in 84 balls and hitted sixteen 4s and five 6s. Kishan was dismissed when he was near to achieve his half runs century but unfortunately R.Khan dismissed from the batting lineup. Advance Congratulations Indian team and now you have won two matches one from Australia and other one from Afghanistan.

Afghanistan set a target of just 272 runs to India, where India put in a superb batting performance to meet that target. Rohit Sharma put in a brilliant batting performance to help India reach the target, scoring a century of 131 runs. Virat Kohli came in at the last moment and scored a half century to win the match India won today's match in a remarkable manner and by a huge margin.

The Indian team reached the target of victory in just 35 overs. My guess is Hill will win in 40-41 overs. But with Rohit Sharma's brilliant batting, they reached the goal of victory very easily. He played a brilliant innings of 131 runs off just 84 balls. I thought he would do 150+. It would have been easy for Rohit Sharma to collect 150+ if he batted carefully and batted a bit slower. However, apart from Rohit Sharma, the performances of Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli and Iyer were quite good. Every player in the Indian top order is in very good form. And if they can maintain such form in the entire World Cup, then the Indian team has the possibility of becoming the world champion this time.

Every player in Indian team played so well which is really amazing. Rohit Sharma scored 131 runs off just 84 balls with 16 fours and five sixes. And other players also played very well and that's why India won the match by surpassing the target of 272 runs in just 35 overs.  India is always a hero in the game of cricket. India plays very well against all teams and never cares how strong the team is against them.  India always have a lot of confidence in themselves and playing with confidence gives them more motivation in the game. And this is why they win most of the matches

Calm down! It's pretty clear that you are a hardcore India fan, but you are exaggerating way too much. If India was really crazy strong, their last big tournament win wouldn't have happened way back in 2011.

They are always strong, but they keep choking at crucial points in international tournaments which is their biggest weakness and they need to fix that.

I just hope that Rohit will bat in a similar way against stronger teams, such as England, South Africa and New Zealand. We all saw what happened during the match against Australia, when they got reduced to 12/3. Even in pitches that offers hardly any support for the pace bowlers, the Indian top and middle order struggle against quality pacers. And some of the SENA pacers have plenty of experience of playing in Indian pitches, thanks to their role in the IPL. I am talking about bowlers such as Trent Boult, Mark Wood and Marco Jansen.

Afghanistan were under the pressure of India's bowling from the start, which led to them scoring more runs. And due to the lack of endurance of the Afghanistan players, they did not last long on the field. But the players of the Indian team gave a befitting reply as this match proved that the Indian team is strong. Rohit Sharma scored a single century which is the biggest for the team. And I thank the Indian team because Afghanistan did not score big runs, so India managed to secure it very easily.

India was able to easily reach the target that Afghanistan gave them, the target was 273. I thought that it was going to be easy for India to chase. But I did not think that they are going to reach the total so easily. The Afghanistan bowlers were not successful at all. Rashid Khan did get to wake up. But it was just not enough for them to actually beat India. No one was actually economical. Not even Rashid Khan. And probably nobody actually thought that Afghanistan was capable of winning this match. And that’s exactly what happened. India was able to chase the target in only 35 overs. This is going to give a good boost for India in the net run rate.

India's Team wanted to up their run rate, as they succeeded in winning the match in just 35 overs because they knew at the end of the World Cup, maybe a stage comes in which they should need a run rate for that. So, they always try to reach their target steadily. Also, the Afghanistan Team didn't provide the cricket that they needed to play. The fans of the Afghanistan Team are very disappointed

I have a friend there who was not supporting India, when the first innings ended, he was laughing and saying that India would lose today. When India's batting started he put himself in a blanket and said now India will win haha . So, that was a drama there. Although India played well. Round of applause for them.

[Sithara007]

Among the weaker teams, I believe that Afghanistan has performed the worst so far in the world cup (in the first match, they were bowled out for 156 runs by the Bangladeshis). Others like Netherlands and Bangladesh have so far performed much better than them. But there is enough time for them to bounce back, as each team will be playing 9 matches each in the group phase. For Afghanistan, the next match is going to be against England, where we have once again the possibility of a lop-sided contest.

People can support whoever they want. In the end, it is going to be the players who are playing in the middle. Anyway, the performance from India was great. It is also good to see the century from Rohit Sharma. Also really good to see that Virat Kohli is performing well in big tournaments. he had a really rough time in his career recently. These performances are going to boost his mentality a lot. Kishan probably should have reached his half-century. He definitely missed out on that chance. So right now, India is in the second position of the standing and they really have a healthy net run rate.

You are indeed right, because Afghanistan's performance has been such that they are at the bottom of the points table of this ICC men's Worldcup. If the two weaker teams are named this time, the number one position for me would be the Netherlands and then Afghanistan, although the Netherlands are one step ahead of Afghanistan in the points table.
But if I talk about today's performance of Afghanistan, then I will say that the batsmen have improved from their previous match in this tournament, they have been able to set a target of 274 runs against a strong team like India. But the problem is that they could not do anything better today in their bowling performance. Although I think that everyone will say in advance that India would have won this match. And you are right that it is going to be a one-sided competition with England too because England is one of the favorite teams for this year's World Cup.
However, the game between Australia and South Africa is going to be played tomorrow, which team do you think will win? Share your analysis

In today's match of India vs Afghanistan team, Afghanistan team came out to bat first and gave a target of 272 runs in 50 overs. Now India team came out to bat. They scored 223 runs in 28.3 overs. Till now India team has lost 2 wickets.  Team India will win very easily. Team India needs 39 runs to win. Rohit Sharma is out for 131 runs in 84 balls. Ishan Kishan is out for 47 runs in 47 balls. Team India has started a good performance in batting.

It's the best ever performance from Indian captain Rohit Sharma I'm this world cup because his performance were quite off colour from start of the tournament, but now he comes back right before the important match and in my mind such brilliant knock will give him extra piece of confidence to face Pakistan, no doubt he has class but against Pakistan bowling from recent time he failed a lot, but it's part of the game. Afghanistan bat sensibly and already scored a big number target but their bowling unable to defend against a strong batting line-up, Rashid try his best and took important match, but they have 50 to 70 extra runs then definitely they will give a tough time to India. At the end many many congratulations to team India for his consecutive two victors of the world cup

Afghanistan team is very weak as compared to India as they are the champions and countable among the great teams of the world but it's not a warm-up match they did a very small target to the Indian team which makes it very easy for the Indian team to chase them. In the Afghan team, just two players did a good performance: Shahidi who made 88 runs on 88 balls and Omarzai made 62 runs on 69 balls also the bowler Rashid khan took 2 wickets and did 8 overs, these are the players who did a good performance and rest are did very badly. The man of the match is awarded to Rohit Sharma who did the highest number of runs in this match and Kohli as well but he also did a little score.

The Hitman had answer to their criticising person by his duck out in the match against the Australia.The social media had roasted the Rohit Sharma by his irresponsible performance in the First ODI of the World Cup to team India.By this knock,Rohit had won many records by today innings.He had crossed the Chris Gayle record of number of sixes in the ODI.He was the first Indian to score the fastest hundred in the World Cup.He had crossed the Sachin record of highest hundred in the World Cup.Today the Afghanistan also played his good batting,specially the 100 run partnership by the captain.Today both team Captain had played the responsible batting.
