ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[ZeshanRandhawa]

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.

Afghanistan A very sensible and mature knock by Rahmat Shah 52 off 54. Seems like he has worked on his strike rate as well. At present Afghanistan scored 136/3 wickets in 24th Over. Afghanistan are now so close to win this match they need 44 more runs in 26 overs and they have 7 wickets in hand. A brilliant innings of Rahamt Shah fueled with 8 fours has ended in Lucknow against Netherlands.

This is Afghanistan's fourth win, shortly we will see Afghanistan in the number five position in the World Cup tournament for the first time.  We have reached the end of the World Cup tournament where each team has played about seven matches. After playing seven matches, the Afghanistan team will be at number five, while the team below Afghanistan will be Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England, and Bangladesh. 

Those who claim their cricket board as very rich cricket board should learn from afghanistan because condition of afghanistan cricket board is very bad and have many staff who are not paid properly they don't have good ground to practice and their home ground is India. 

India, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, whichever team you call better, I would say that South Africa has performed best in this tournament.

Netherlands won the toss and elected to bat first. Afghanistan dismissed the Netherlands batsman in the fifth ball of the first over. And scored 3 runs. Naderland batsmen scored 18 runs in four overs.And let Afghanistan get one wicket.Netherlands batsmen scored 74 runs in 10 overs. Afghanistan got the second big win by dismissing the second Dutch batsman. Afghanistan also dismissed the third batsman of the 7 bowled out the entire Netherlands team.The Netherlands played very poorly. Thus, Netherland has given target to Afghanistan, it seems that Afghanistan will win the match.

Afghanistan vs Netherlands Netherlands team was not able to do a very good batting performance in today's match. For which the Netherlands team scored only 179 runs in the first innings, due to their poor performance, they will lose the match against the Afghans. However, if Afghanistan can win today's match against Netherlands, they will have a chance to qualify for the World Cup, but they must win the next matches against the opposition. However, today's match Netherlands will lose by a huge margin to Afghanistan, so far Afghanistan team has lost 3 wickets and scored 163 runs. For which they need only 17 more runs, since they have two experienced batsmen at the crease, they will easily win the match against Netherlands. Afghanistan scored 163 runs in 29 overs, I think they can win till 32 overs and need few runs to meet their target.

Afghanistan play best cricket till now if they win next 2 matches they will qualify easily.

Yes Afghanistan have done quite well today and they are also in a good position in the points table. It is difficult to say how likely Afghanistan are to win the trophy in this year's Cricket World Cup but it can be said that Afghanistan are trying to play well enough in each of their matches. South Africa and India might be a big hurdle for them as India and South Africa have played very well in each of their matches and won most of the matches.  They are also ahead of other teams by a good point margin in the points table

If the Afghanistan team can compete and win the upcoming matches, there is a good chance to play in the qualifiers. Afghanistan team's bowling line and batting line is much stronger compared to Netherlands team. Rahmat and Shahidi are two batsmen who have scored half-centuries, and Shahidi is still unknown. Even if the Netherlands team could have given a higher run target, the Afghanistan team could have met that run target. Because the Afghanistan team secured the victory by keeping the wickets and currently the Afghanistan team is at the fifth place in the points table.

South Africa and India have played very well since the beginning so they are ahead of these two teams so it will not be possible for a team like Afghanistan to overtake South Africa or India this time. However, Afghanistan's quality of play is good and it can be said that they can overtake New Zealand and Australia. Afghanistan have lost only 1 match in their last 5 matches which is a good point for them.  But they have lost several matches in the beginning and still lag behind Australia and New Zealand

The recent activities of Afghanistan is more better then Australia and new zealand too. But India and South Africa are challenging for them.  It is very doubtful whether it will be possible for Afghanistan to overcome them

Congratulations to Afghanistan for playing very well. I was very much surprised the first innings of the Netherlands in today's match was quite embarrassing as they lost four wickets only because of run outs. I don't know if there is any such history in cricket world. Also, I have seen everyone else from the 5th wicket have done poorly. However, van der Merwe and Aryan Dutt played well in their positions. We have seen them beat a strong team South Africa in this tournament so we can say that they are not too bad but today's match showed their immaturity.

Netherlands has been a fairly good team in this World Cup tournament. With Netherlands being a relatively good team, we expected the result of today's match to be played till the last ball, but Afghanistan forced the Dutch batsmen to end the innings quickly with their bowling spin. One of the worst things about this match for the Netherlands today was that they got three to four runs out. A run-out bonus for the opponent and the bonus given by the Netherlands. The match could have been interesting if the team with four batsmen out for 0 had not been in too much of a hurry to score runs and had tried to stay on the wicket. If the Netherlands could have kept Afghanistan between 270 and 280 runs, then the Netherlands would have avoided victory in this match.

Well played Afghanistan. First they restricted the Netherlands below 200 runs and their batting was really good and Afghanistan won the match easily. Mohammad Nabi bowled really well and got 3 wickets for 28 runs only. And after that Noor Ahmad is also an excellent bowler who got 2 wickets.
In batting line Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmat Shah both made fifties made 56 and 52 runs respectively.
Congratulations to Afghanistan.

[2Pizza410000BTC]

My favorite Netherlands game was the day they beat South Africa. I thought the Netherlands would do their best today and beat Afghanistan just like South Africa. But most of the Dutch players got out with three to four runs. As a result, Netherlands will not be able to give more runs to Afghanistan in today's match. Netherlands couldn't last long today due to spin assisted pitch which resulted in Netherlands target of 180 runs against Afghanistan today. But today Afghanistan completed the target of 180 runs and beat Netherlands easily. After defeating the Netherlands in today's match, Afghanistan climbed to the fifth place in the points table. Afghanistan played seven matches in this World Cup out of which they won 4 matches and lost 3 matches. Netherlands are eighth in the points table after losing to Afghanistan. The Netherlands have won only two of their seven matches and lost the remaining five matches. Here we can see very well that Netherlands is much stronger than Bangladesh and England.

Netherlands lost today's match because of their stupid batting. Top order batsmen do not get out by performing poorly. Four of the first 5 batsmen were run out. In such an important match, the Netherlands batsmen should have batted responsibly. But they played like fools. Had it not been for these four run outs, the Netherlands could easily have given away a target of 260+ today. And if Netherlands could have given a target of more than 260 on this pitch, they might have won the match. Giving a target of just 180 runs was impossible to win. Afghanistan batsmen batted very responsibly today. The team has won four out of seven matches and is now fifth in the points table.

[Cheema02]

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.

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.

Afghanistan won by 7 wickets against Netherlands. Netherlands won the toss and decided to bat first and scored only 179 runs all out in just 46.3 overs. From Netherlands Sybrand Engelbrecht batting amazingly scored 58 runs in 86 balls and Max O'Dowd scored 42 runs in 40 balls and reached the Netherlands total to 179 runs. Afghanistan batting performance is outstanding they chase down the target 180 runs in loss of 3 wickets in 31.3 overs.

The captain of Afghanistan team Hashmatullah Shahidi played amazing scored 56 runs unbeaten in 64 balls alongside with Rahmat Shah who scored fifty runs 52 in 54 balls. Netherlands bowling not very good Saqib Zulfiqar is pink 1 wickets only. The player of the match is Mohammad Nabi for his outstanding bowling performance picked up 3 Crusial wickets by giving 28 runs only in 9.3 overs and Noor Ahmad also bowl well and picked 2 wickets by giving 31 runs in 9 overs.

We have seen them beat a strong team South Africa in this tournament so we can say that they are not too bad but today's match showed their immaturity.

I don't think this was embarrassing because this was impressive fielding from the Afghanistan I was watching match while this all happen Netherlands having good start and Max O'Dowd was in good touch as he has 42 runs on just 40 balls but direct through from the Omarzai bring Afghanistan into match and then second run-out was just a wrong call from the Sybrand Engelbrecht which bring down Colin Ackermann with this out the Netherlands completely out of the match and have no other batsman who play against quality Afghani spinners which wrap them quickly and after having 179 runs things were completely in control of the Afghanistan which chase this in just 32 overs and now with this win things are having good turn for them as well.

This was fourth win for them in this event and their Champions League spot is also fixed which is also good, but now main target is last four with South Africa and Australia are waiting for them in coming matches.

[wiss19]

This is Afghanistan's fourth win, shortly we will see Afghanistan in the number five position in the World Cup tournament for the first time.  We have reached the end of the World Cup tournament where each team has played about seven matches. After playing seven matches, the Afghanistan team will be at number five, while the team below Afghanistan will be Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England, and Bangladesh. 

Those who claim their cricket board as very rich cricket board should learn from afghanistan because condition of afghanistan cricket board is very bad and have many staff who are not paid properly they don't have good ground to practice and their home ground is India. 

India, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, whichever team you call better, I would say that South Africa has performed best in this tournament.

Currently, all cricketing community is talking about who is going to win this world cup with India and South Africa are hot favorite with their performance and achievements in this event but still nothing is predictable because we have history of surprises and shocking results but as right now things are going I have feeling most chances we will have these two teams into final with anyone can win from here.

Tomorrow we are going to have two matches with first match is between Pakistan vs New Zealand and second match is Australia vs England both Australia are New Zealand are favorite with their performance, but recent injuries are going to hurt them Maxwell and Michael Marsh out for the Australia and New Zealand is also having worrying situation which can create problems for them after having impressive start.

Even most of the cricket pundits are already predicting about India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand are favorite but still any upset can happen which will allow Afghanistan or Pakistan for the fourth spot.

Afghanistan batsmen batted very responsibly today. The team has won four out of seven matches and is now fifth in the points table.

Afghanistan played some outclass bowling along with their batting as they are playing at their full covers and they have many skills now, at first the Afghanistan Team was not considered as good as they play the game today. So, I think they will be the better team in the coming matches if they are good at their capabilities. Mostly the Afghanistan Batsmen have good batting skills and they are also good at bowling. The Netherlands won many matches previously which also included an upset but we have seen they were completely disappointed today and seems that they were locked by the Afghanistan Bowlers. Better to work on their batting and they have to focus on their bowling side as they have some better bowlers if they make their length a little better.

[3kpk3]

Pakistan are in a do or die situation against New Zealand, but a win would still not get them closer to the semifinals because their NRR sucks and they need to keep winning while New Zealand and Afghanistan should keep losing.

On the other hand, we have Australia who could get into trouble if they lose against England who can play freely with zero pressure since they are out.

Tomorrow is the match of Pakistan vs New Zealand, and Pakistan has a great advantage because Kane Williamson is injured, and many other players of New Zealand are also injured but I don’t agree that they play tomorrow’s match or not. But I heard that New Zealand five players are injured in the squad so they aren’t available for tomorrow’s match then reserved players are coming to play tomorrow’s match.

I again say that I don’t know if it is real or fake as I just heard it on social media, If you have any idea about them please correct me,
but if this thing is real then in tomorrow's match clearly the advantage will be with Pakistan.
