ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[LittleBitFunny]

At this time Bangladesh's Current Run Rate is really good they are at 7.0.  They have lost one wicket. And trying really to win this match and I hope that they will win the match.

Bangladesh played really well and I think that kind of performance the fans want form Bangladesh from start of this ICC competition but unfortunately Bangladesh performance were not up to the mark and that why they really disappoint this supporter. Anyway they done a good job tonight so we should appreciate them because everyone taught that sirilanka has strong balance team which has ability to got victory but Bangladesh captain and shanto phenomenal performance help Bangladesh to come out of this difficult situation later tale under batter played little bit aggressive innings and thus they won the important match.

Shakib and Shanto batted with a lot of confidence in today's match. The performance of these two batsmen really impressed me today. Both the batsmen batted very responsibly after losing the two openers in quick succession. And they were able to build a huge partnership of 169 runs. And because of this huge partnership, the Bangladesh team won. However, the performance of Bangladesh's middle-order players was poor. Bangladesh would not have lost 7 wickets if the middle-order players of Bangladesh could bat with more responsibility.
Taskin did not get a wicket today but he bowled brilliantly. On the other hand, Tanzid Shakib got 3 wickets but he gave 80 runs in 10 overs. The performance of the bowlers was quite controlled by Bangladesh today.

Mathews had to get out while changing the helmet, although it took a long time to change the helmet, that's why Shakib Al Hasan appealed to the umpire for which the umpire gave him out.

You are part of the minority defending Shakib here since the majority including me felt that Angelo clearly had issues with his helmet due to which he shouldn't have been given out in such a messed up manner.

Only a fool would defend petty Al Hasan here since he himself has been involved in plenty of controversies over time.

This is the first time in the history of cricket that a cricketer has been dismissed for such a time out. Angelo Mathews should have faced two or three balls and then changed his helmet but he didn't. Moreover Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan should not have appealed. However, I have no complaints about this dismissal as it is the first time cricket has experienced the fall of such a wicket.

The bowling performance of the Bangladesh team has been very good, as the Sri Lankan team has already lost three wickets. The Bangladesh team will be under a lot of pressure today because if they cannot occupy the 8th position in the points table, they will not be able to earn the right to play the championship later.

Both team has played thier the best cricket but at the end one has to win while the other has to lose, so I will not say that Mathews wicket really damage sirilankan team but they has scored a decent target, but their bowling were a bit off colour because if they get any of these two batter shanto and shakib wicket before they build a big partnership then may be sirilanka get thier track to the victory but unfortunately they were unable to done it and that's why they lose their grip and got defeated.
Tomorrow we have a tough fight between Australia and Afghanistan, I am early sure that Australia will be the winner but if Afghanistan does some magic then they will be surely very favourite for semifinals.

Bangladesh batsmen played the match with full confidence. Bangladesh's two batsmen, Shakib and Shantu , faced the Sri Lanka bowlers with vigor and did not let anyone down.Bangladesh faced the Sri Lankan bowlers in today match, if they had not faced their bowlers.Today would have lost the match.If the rest of the players of Bangladesh had played carefully, these wickets would not have been given.Shakib and Shantu supported each other and scored 169 runs and won everyone's heart.Shakib and Santu were two such batsmen who have scored 169 runs together in the match of today if both of them had got out earlier, they would not have scored so many runs.

Both teams tried well to win the match. If you see the Srilanka stats so you saw that Srilanka made only 279 runs in 50 overs and lost 9 wickets. But Bangladesh team played decently. They just cover the whole score in 41 overs and lost only 7 wickets. Shakib Al Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto both pull the runs to the winning line. Shakib Al Hasan is also the player of the match. He made 82 runs and Najmul Hossain Shanto 90 runs. Congratulations to Bangladesh team.

[Bd officer]

First of all I didn't expect this victory from Bangladesh. I thought Bangladesh would lose this match like the last six matches but the matter changed completely today with a big run partnership of Shanto and Shakib.

You are right, I also did not believe that Bangladesh will win. 2 wickets fell in 3rd and 7th overs, I thought Bangladesh might lose in the end so I stopped watching the game. Shakib and Nazmul Hossain both performed brilliantly as a result of which Bangladesh won in the end. But Bangladesh lost 5 wickets from 32 overs to 41 overs which was completely disappointing, I think if Shakib and Nazmul Shanto could not have made a big run partnership then it would have been difficult for Bangladesh to win. Do you think Bangladesh could have won if Shakib Nazmul didn't do well? However, Bangladesh lost 6 matches in a row and finally got victory. I feel very happy as a Bangladeshi supporter. Congratulations to the Bangladesh team, I hope they will do well against Australia in the next match.

Today's Afghanistan vs Australia match is going to be very interesting. If Afghanistan can win this one somehow, then they are almost confirmed of a semi-final spot. And worse, there is a good chance that Australia may not qualify for the semis. So this match is like do-or-die for the Australians. Australia is in good form BTW. They have won 5 consecutive matches till now. And one advantage for them is that even if they lose the match today, they have one more match remaining. And it is against one of the weaker teams (Bangladesh).

[Patrol69]

We are at the end of the World Cup tournament. Today is the 39th match of the World Cup tournament featuring Afghanistan and Australia as opponents. If Australia win this match against Afghanistan today they will confirm semi-final while if Afghanistan can win this match today then it will be a much easier equation for them to qualify for semi-final. Today's match is sure to be an interesting match as both teams will be fighting to qualify for the semi-finals. Overall, Australia will definitely be ahead in this match but with the recent performances of Afghanistan's batsmen and bowlers, Afghanistan can make a mess against Australia. This match will be played in Mumbai and of course Australia will field first if they win the toss, on the other hand Afghanistan can come to a similar decision.

This match is likely to be competitive. There is no doubt that the Australian team is in very good form right now. But it is a do or die match for Afghanistan. And the Afghanistan team cannot be underestimated at the moment. The team has several world class players. They have also beaten big teams like England and Pakistan. Afghanistan have won four out of seven matches. If they win today's match, the team has a chance to qualify for the semi-finals. So the players of Afghanistan will try to do well. But with the current form of the Australian players, the match will be competitive but the Australian team is likely to win.

In the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka team match, Sri Lanka batted first and the run target was easily exceeded by the Bangladesh team. The Bangladesh team did well in the bowling line for which the Sri Lanka team was under a lot of pressure.  Did not perform well. Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh team scored 90 runs from 101 balls. Shakib Al Hasan scored 82 runs from 65 balls. Bangladesh team did very well in bowling and batting.

[Webetcoins]

Bangladesh won match by 3 wickets and 53 balls left in the match against Srilanka. Shakib Al Hasan is player of the match for his all round performance picking 2 important wicktes and scored 82 runs in 65 balls, unfortunately miss his well deserved hundred by 18 run short. Bangladesh chase down the target 282 runs in loss of 7 wickets in 41.1 overs. Najmul Hossain Shanto also batting well score 90 runs in 101 and miss his century by 10 runs short. Srilanka bowling performance is not good they didn't pick ealry wickets after openior got out, Dilshan Madushanka picked 3 wickets but giving 69 runs in 10 over and Angelo Mathews also picked 2 Crusial wickets by giving only 35 rins in 7.1 but failed to defend 280 runs total.

In this match, Shakib lead from the front and done good job which bring second win for them in this world cup even still there is chance they can go down but now with this win some confidence is restored and players will also feel comfortable but incident which happen in this match is also big consequences which can create good controversies in future as well.

Bangladesh's bowlers done good job and not allowed any Sri Lankan to stay at the crease and create problems for them just Asalanka and Samarawickrama were who stay at crease for some time and bring their team at this target which was not enough to give them third win, and their bowlers were also not good enough as they need to have stop things for bringing down Bangladesh Shanto and Shakib change the situation done good job for their win.

This is the first time in the history of cricket that a cricketer has been dismissed for such a time out. Angelo Mathews should have faced two or three balls and then changed his helmet but he didn't. Moreover Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan should not have appealed. However, I have no complaints about this dismissal as it is the first time cricket has experienced the fall of such a wicket.

Wrong! Angelo was ahead of the timer and the Lankans had video evidence to prove that. Also, why would anyone want to bat with their helmet messed up? Al Hasan just took advantage of the situation since he is a crappy human being.

As I said, you are part of the small minority defending this idiot while the majority blamed him. Angelo getting his wicket was proper karma.

Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh team scored 90 runs from 101 balls. Shakib Al Hasan scored 82 runs from 65 balls. Bangladesh team did very well in bowling and batting.

These two (Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib al Hasan) ensured the win for Bangladesh. At one point, they were at 41/2 (this was when Litton Das got out), and Sri Lanka was having a 70% probability of win as per the predictor. But Shanto and Shakib took over and they slowly rebuilt the innings. 280 is not a small target, not even at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. So all credits to them for the win. And now coming to Sri Lanka, they have only themselves to blame. They got emotionally carried away, after the drama involving Angelo Matthews and Shakib al Hasan.

Well, if it is in the rule books, it's Legal, just like Mankad. We can debate whether it is ethical or not and whether it is against the sportsman spirit or not. I think Shakib should have withdrawn his appeal. Initially, even the umpire also thought that Shakib was joking about the "time-out" rule.
Bangladesh did play well against Sri Lanka apart from that Mathew incident. The partnership between Shakib and Shanto was the deciding factor in this match. Bowling from the Sri Lankan was not up to the mark.

Bangladesh W vs Pakistan W
The second match of the Bangladesh Women vs Pakistan Women ODI series has started. Bangladesh Women have won the T20I series, but have performed very poorly in the ODI series, losing the first match as well. Bangladesh women's team could not play relatively well at home. Bangladesh women were all out for 81 runs in the first match, Pakistan women finally managed to win 5 wickets. Bangladesh Women won the toss and scored 169 runs in today's match. Today if Bangladesh women can bowl well like in the first match then Bangladesh can win. But it is very easy to win by 170 runs but it cannot be said correctly that Pakistan will win because they lost 5 wickets to make 85 runs in the first match. If Pakistan women win today then the series will be won. If Bangladesh Women win the series will be tied 1-1 and the 3rd match will be the final match. Let's see which team can win in the end.

Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat first. It looks like a good batting surface, and a score of over 300 will be a par score for Afghanistan, as they have a very good spin-bowling attack. Afghanistan's strategy to go with 4 spinners on a flat wicket is interesting. I think it will backfire big time. Will they miss their pace bowlers in the powerplay and death overs? Is a big question.
The first powerplay will decide the pace of the match; if Australia get 2 or 3 wickets in the first powerplay, Afghanistan will look for a compatible score of around 250+.

Afghanistan's top order is batting very responsibly. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz was dismissed for 21 runs. After losing the first wicket for 38 runs, the team has not lost any wicket till now. After 20 overs, Afghanistan collected 99 runs. Ibrahim Zadran remained unbeaten with 56 runs and Rahmat Shah 17 runs. Since Afghanistan have lost only one wicket so far, it can be said that they are batting well enough. Batsmen are batting responsibly. However, if Afghanistan gives less than 320 target in today's match, then their chances of victory are low. Australia team is in very good form. It will be difficult to beat Australia with a target of less than 320.

Afghanistan bat first is good decision after winning the toss. Afghanistan current score is 96 runs in loss of 1 wickets in 19 overs. Ibrahim Zadran is playing outstanding made fifty his scored is 55 runs in 54 balls and Rahmat Shah is playing on 16 runs in 26 balls. This is very important partnership of Afghanistan between Ibrahim Zadran and Rehmat Shah. Afghanistan is playing very good  just lost only 1 wicket of Gurbaz. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is only scored 21 runs in 35 balls and get out by josh hazlewood. Australia bowling performance is not too good only fast bowlers josh Hazlewood picked 1 wicket by giving 16 runs in 4 overs. Afghanistan will looking to cross 260 plus runs.

Afghanistan have lost only one wicket but their run rate is very low. Afghanistan collected 117/1 in 24 overs. He is batting very slow despite not losing a wicket. Rahmat Shah's strike rate is 68 and Ibrahim Zadran's strike rate is 80. And Afghanistan are scoring less than 5 runs per over. And if this continues, the Afghanistan team can collect a maximum of 280. Australia scored 286 runs against England in their valiant match. But in the previous three matches, Australia scored 388, 399 and 367 runs respectively. It is easy to understand that the batsmen are in very good rhythm. So with a low target Afghanistan have no chance of winning this match unless they are very lucky.

Angelo Mathews should have faced two or three balls and then changed his helmet but he didn't. Moreover Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan should not have appealed. However, I have no complaints about this dismissal as it is the first time cricket has experienced the fall of such a wicket.

By the way, why the Bangladesh captain should not ask for it, if it is the rule? Does it ever happen that the umpire gives out and the third umpire overrules the decision, and the team players say that they do not want the out and let the opposing player keep playing? You get a wicket on a No ball, and the batsmen say that I am out and I forgive that it was a No ball. Cricket is a game played with rules and rules should be followed.

Rules are rules and it is the right of every captain to ask the umpire of a certain rule due to which the decision can be turned in their favor.
I have been watching cricket for so long but didn't know about this rule. I am sure this is the first time many cricketing fans come to know that these rules also exist in international cricket.
