ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Afghanistan already have done a good job in world cup as they have won 3 games. There only mistake is that they lost to weakest side of this tournament i.e Bangladesh. For Afghanistan it's like winning the World Cup. NZ already know that rest of there games are very crucial to qualify for semis. Pakistan have not secured any win so far against strong teams so there chances are less for semis.

Afghanistan is already a full member and therefore they should strive to enter the semi-finals. For a team like Netherlands (being an associate member) it will be great news just to defeat 2-3 full members. But that is not the case with Afghanistan. If they can't enter the semi-final stage this time as well, then questions will be raised about their test status (similar to the ones that are being raised for full members who failed to qualify this time - West Indies, Ireland and Zimbabwe). Defeating Netherlands today should move them close to a semi-final slot, but two more tough matches await them in group phase.

Afghanistan players are in very good form now. They won 3 out of 6 matches. They have defeated teams like Sri Lanka, Pakistan and England. I don't think Netherlands will be a tough opponent for Afghanistan. Because Afghanistan players are more confident now. Moreover, the Netherlands team is not very experienced. It will not be easy for Netherlands batsmen to stay at the crease against Afghanistan's bowling lineup. But Afghanistan's weakness is the erratic performance of their batsmen. Afghanistan cannot collect big unless the top order players perform well.

Any event can happen at any time. For example, in the 15th match of Netherlands vs South Africa, Netherlands won the match by defeating South Africa, the strongest team in this World Cup. Although today's match is a win for Afghanistan, I am not saying anything about this match because if Afghanistan's top order batsmen concede defeat too quickly, I think Afghanistan will be very weak in this match. On the other hand, Netherlands is not very strong in this World Cup, their batting line-up is a bit better, if they can throw Afghanistan in a difficult moment with good balls, then maybe it will be good for Netherlands in this match. Let's see in today's match which team can win match well.

Even if Afghanistan wins today's match, it will not guarantee their place in the semi finals. After that Afghanistan has other two matches with Australia and South Africa, and they will have to win both these matches against tough opposition in order to secure their place in the semi final of the world cup.

Let's check the odds for today's match and see how bookies feel about the result of this match. Clearly, if you are to bet on this match, go with the Afghanistan team and be safe.

Afghanistan is strong side because of their batting and bowling unit. Netherlands is new and not so much experience in world cup cricket. Afghanistan played 6 matches so far in this world cup and they have win 3 match against world champions team England, Pakistan and Srilanka with 8 points and 6th postion on points tables. Netherlands aslo played 6 matches in this world cup they win only 2 match one against Top team South Africa and Second is against Bangladesh, they are 8th Positions in point tables. Winner of this match between Afghanistan and Netherlands will have more chances to qualify for Champion trophy.

In terms of experience, both the teams are at the same level. Netherlands was part of the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League (scrapped for the second season), and as a part of this tournament they played 24 ODI matches against full member nations. And they do have very experienced players such as Wesley Barresi, Logan van Beek and Roloef van der Merwe. So it is not actually correct to label the Netherlands as an inexperienced team. They maybe an associate nation, but there is no dearth of international experience for sure.

That was an accidental win. That was a rainy day. Or you can say the luck was favouring Netherlands. Otherwise they were not able to win that match. You have seen the batting of the South Africa in whole world cup matches. And today I think Afghanistan is more strong as compare to the Netherlands team. So let's hope the Afghanistan's win and Afghanistan will climb up with 8 points. And the next match of Afghanistan with Australia so that will be a tough match for Afghanistan.

I would say Afghanistan players are more experienced on Indian pitch than Netherlands. Because Afghanistan squad has several players who are playing regularly in IPL. However, Afghanistan team is in better form than Netherlands. Afghanistan team managed to defeat Sri Lanka Pakistan and England team. They are playing very well. Lucknow's pitch helps the bowlers a lot. If Afghanistan's bowlers are able to perform their duties properly then they have a chance to win.
Netherlands lost the wicket of opener Barresi in the first over. But at the end of 8 overs their collection is 51/1. O'Dowd and Colin are batting very responsibly. They managed to score more than 6 runs per over.

Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackermann put on an excellent partnership of 70 runs. But Max O'Dowd was just run out. Max O'Dowd was unlucky. He got out after collecting 42 runs off 40 balls. Azmatullah Omarzai fielded well. Netherlands managed to collect 74 runs in 12 overs. Although the run rate is quite good, I doubt whether Netherlands will be able to bat 50 overs. If the Netherlands can deliver a target of more than 280 today, they have a chance of winning. But if the target is less than 280 then Afghanistan team will win. Netherlands bowlers are not experienced enough. So the batsmen have to try to give big targets.

[Popkon6]

Although the Netherlands team is at the 8th position in the points table, Afghanistan is far ahead if we consider this. But in today's match, Afghanistan team is not doing good bowling performance, although Netherlands team lost one wicket in the beginning of the match (currently 2 wickets down), there is no danger of further wickets falling later. If the Netherlands team can defend the wicket and stay on the field until the end, then surely they can gift the Afghanistan team with a big score of runs. If Netherlands team can score 270 plus runs today then there is definitely a chance to win. The current score of the Netherlands team is 74 runs down by 2 wickets.

[jasonjm]

After losing the first wicket, the Netherlands batters built a good partnership, but unfortunately, the direct hit concluded that partnership. Then there were two back-to-back run-outs. How many of you have seen 3 run-outs out of 4 wickets? Ordinary from the Netherlands. Now, the Afghanistan team is in full control of the match and from here on, only a big partnership will help the Netherlands to get a respectable total.
As I was typing, another wicket went down. The Netherlands are now 97/5, and the wickets are continuously tumbling.
I think the Netherlands will give a target of less than 200 to Afghanistan. This should be a walk in the park for Afghanistan.

The Netherlands team did not do well in the first twenty overs and I think that they will play the other overs as they played the last twenty overs. They lost five main wickets and their main batsman otherwise they are scored average but they couldn’t do a good score because they lost the batsman who played well now middle order batsman were started to come early which is not good.

The players of the Netherlands were out because of running between the wickets, which means running out. Max O'Dowd played very well but unfortunately, he lost his wicket, He could have done something but he was out so the Netherlands’ chances to win this match went on low.

After losing the second wicket for 73 runs,  Netherlands lost 5 batsmen to collect  100 runs. The interesting thing is that out of 5 batsmen, 3 batsmen have run out. I would say 3 Dutch batsmen got  run out today due to inexperience. Probably Netherlands will lose all wickets before 150 runs. Netherlands just lost another wicket. Netherlands lost 6 batsmen f or 113 runs. Netherlands collected 66 runs in the  first 10 overs. And in the next 15 overs, Netherlands mustered just 46 runs. Maybe the team will lose the remaining  four wickets before 150. The  performance of Afghanistan's bowlers is very controlled.

After losing the second wicket for 73 runs,  Netherlands lost 5 batsmen to collect  100 runs. The interesting thing is that out of 5 batsmen, 3 batsmen have run out. I would say 3 Dutch batsmen got  run out today due to inexperience. Probably Netherlands will lose all wickets before 150 runs. Netherlands just lost another wicket.

Maybe the team will lose the remaining  four wickets before 150. The  performance of Afghanistan's bowlers is very controlled.

Netherlands' current score is 142 runs for 7 wickets in 30 overs. Netherlands batsmen are playing too fast because they have to play patiently if they play like this they will be all out in very short time. Netherlands have been run out for three of their five wickets. If Afghanistan can restrict Netherlands to 200 runs then they will win this match very easily. If Afghanistan can win today's match, they will be very close to the semi-finals. As a new team, Afghanistan is performing well in the 2023 World Cup. While reigning champions England were eliminated from the semi-finals. There are also doubts about whether Bangladesh and England will be able to play in the upcoming championship.

Once again the Dutch top order and middle order collapses. But this time the collapse occurred after they got a good start. Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackermann took them to 73/1 at one point and then they lost quick wickets to be at 134/7. The way some of the Dutch batsmen got themselves out was just shocking (example is Scott Edwards). Sybrand Engelbrecht is batting along with Roelof van der Merwe, but I don't expect them to get to 200. And in order to have any chance of winning, they need to get to at least 250.

Currently, Netherlands squad batting inning is still alive and they is batting in the crease. Saqib Zulifiqar batter and Logan van Beek batter are batting at the crease and recently Netherlands squad has lost one wicket of Bas de Leede now they lost total 6 batters from the crease. Saqib Zulifiqar made 57 scores off 84 balls and Sybrand Engelbrecht made 2 scores off 15 balls with not out. When Netherlands lost their first wickets at start of match and their performance seems very poor but next batters Max O'Dowd and Colin Ackermann perform good and support their squad. At this time, Netherlands squad made 151 scores off 34 overs and their squad lost 7 wickets and 16 overs were left for batting.

[God bless u]

There is a match today between the team of Netherlands and Afghanistan, so the first inning has been done in which Netherlands obtain 179 scores. The target is not so high as Netherlands performance was not good. If Performance of Afghanistan remains good then there is a possibility that they will win this match easily. The team of Netherlands become out very quickly and four players become run out with bad luck. If Netherlands wants to become Victorious in this match then they will have to show good balling and fielding otherwise match will be tough for them. In second inning batting of Afghanistan has been started and they scored 13 runs in 2 overs.

Defeating Netherlands today should move them close to a semi-final slot, but two more tough matches await them in group phase.

I think it's early to expect such things from Afghanistan, they have already done justice with there performance. They have won 3 games and looks like wining another game today. This WC is confined around 4 teams aka Aus, NZ, SA and India there is hardly anything left for others. This World Cup is a nightmare for SL as they have faced huge defeats this time.

Afghanistan need only 180 to chase against the Dutch to ensure their 4th win in this World Cup. Another excellent display of bowling by the Afghans, Sybrand Engelbrecht was the only batter to score a fifty today. 4 run outs among the top-5 batters. They just made the bowling team job way easier Credit goes to fielders. Mohammad Nabi with all his experience Picked up 3 wickets for his team, maintained a brilliant economy rate 28/3 in his 10th over.

[Swordsoffreedom]

After losing the second wicket for 73 runs,  Netherlands lost 5 batsmen to collect  100 runs. The interesting thing is that out of 5 batsmen, 3 batsmen have run out.

Netherlands team managed to collect 179 runs even after losing 5 wickets of Top Orad for only 97 runs. I'd say it's a good enough collection for the Netherlands. After losing 5 top order wickets so quickly I thought they won't even score 150 runs. But it may not be possible to defeat Afghanistan by giving a target of 180 runs. However, the Netherlands have a slim chance of victory if they can get Afghanistan's top order out quickly. Afghanistan managed to collect 66 runs in 12 overs and they lost two wickets. If Rahmat Shah and Hashmatullah Shahidi at the crease don't play big innings, bat responsibly, it will be difficult for Afghanistan to win. The team still needs 114 runs to win.

Dutch player should blame their selves. after a very descent start , the time when they put lot of pressure on Afghanistan bowlers they makes lot of mistakes. In big match like today you couldn't bear 4 top order batsmen run out. Edward is very good players of spin ball and he has 50 above average against spin but he also run out. Afghanistan is now favorite in the match and this win will give them hope to qualify for semifinal too.

I think it's early to expect such things from Afghanistan, they have already done justice with there performance. They have won 3 games and looks like wining another game today. This WC is confined around 4 teams aka Aus, NZ, SA and India there is hardly anything left for others. This World Cup is a nightmare for SL as they have faced huge defeats this time.

So far it looks like Afghanistan are playing very well. Currently 13 over is running they are lose only they are two wicket and there is 71. If this continues if Afghanistan can keep their wicket and play without rushing then I think Afghanistan will win today. But Netherlands can't be taken too lightly because they too have come up with a fairly good performance, now if their bowling performance can be improved then Afghanistan can lose Afghanistan has many records of losing such matches. But today I will pick Afghanistan team as for my betting.

As the target is very low, there is no pressure on the Afghanistan batsmen today. Had the target been bigger, it might have been a bit more difficult for Afghanistan to win. Gurbaz scored 10 runs and Zadran got out with 20 runs. Rahmat Shah is batting very responsibly. He is already unbeaten with 46 runs off 45 balls. Besides, Hashmatullah scored 19 runs unbeaten. Afghanistan collected 104 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. Afghanistan need only 76 runs to win. As Afghanistan have lost just 2 wickets, scoring 76 runs is not a difficult task for Afghanistan at the moment. Also we are not seeing any good bowling from Netherlands bowlers.
