ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Mujeeb dropped an easy catch of Maxwell yesterday when he was batting on 33. We have seen such critical mistakes from teams like Afghanistan for quite sometimes. The story of yesterday match would be different if Mujeeb had taken that easy catch. Anyways Afghanistan were not able to achieve both there targets of beating Pakistan and Australia but they will be happy that finally they have won against Pakistan.

Not just mujeeb drop Maxwell catch but thier captain hashmatullah Shahidi too, I mean they really give alot chances to Maxwell or like we can say it's his good luck because none of thier other player can even hold his wickets for a while they were Just coming and departure to pavilion. Yeh also they beat paksitan for a first time in ODI world Cup and to be honest they did a good job I mean if we have a look at match then they don't even hesitate or feel himself in trouble against a best Paksitani bowlers while chasing.
Tomorrow we have a really demanded Match because here will be decided whom will qualify for semifinals because if NewZeland won then there chances will be really high and paksitan has to won his game with big margin against England but if NewZeland lose or abounded due to rain then paksitan will be straight away to semifinals against india

In New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka match,  there will be some tough situation for the Pakistan Team,  if the New Zealand Team wins then slightly low chances will be for the Pakistan. But there are two more possibilities that will be good for the side of Pakistan,  first if the Sri Lanka Team wins and Pakistan win their match England then They will qualify for the Next Round. And Second if The rains hits then it will also be a probability for the Pakistan. So let's see who will be in the Top 4 teams and who will qualify for the Semi's.

The New Zealand team is not in good form. They have lost all four matches in a row. And that's why it's difficult for the team to even qualify for the semi-finals now. If New Zealand want to qualify for the semi-finals, they will definitely need to win today's match by a big margin. New Zealand's chances of qualifying for the semi-finals are slim unless they beat Sri Lanka by a big margin. Pakistan and New Zealand's points are now equal. So New Zealand should be ahead in net run rate. I expect New Zealand to win today's match. The performance of the Sri Lankan bowlers is not very good. At the same time, the performance of the batsmen is also erratic.

NZ vs SL, a crucial game for New Zealand and Pakistan. Afghanistan are in with a slimmest chance to make it but its very unlikely.

In New Zealand Vs Sri Lanka match,  there will be some tough situation for the Pakistan Team,  if the New Zealand Team wins then slightly low chances will be for the Pakistan. But there are two more possibilities that will be good for the side of Pakistan,  first if the Sri Lanka Team wins and Pakistan win their match England then They will qualify for the Next Round. And Second if The rains hits then it will also be a probability for the Pakistan. So let's see who will be in the Top 4 teams and who will qualify for the Semi's.

Among the three teams Afghanistan and Pakistan and New Zealand, New Zealand is leading in net run rate. Although Afghanistan won't win against South Africa but if Afghanistan win it won't win by much margin. In this respect, it can be said that Afghanistan is behind to reach the semi-finals among the 3 teams. If New Zealand wins today then NRR will be more +. Sri Lanka are not in good form, New Zealand scored 401 runs in the last match, New Zealand is back in form. On the other hand, if Pakistan wants to reach the semi-finals, it will have to win against England by a large margin. England has performed well in the last match, it doesn't seem like Pakistan can win by a big margin. The upcoming Pakistan vs England match will be an important match for both the teams. Today's match is going to be a do or die match for both teams. If New Zealand lose today, their hopes of making the semi-finals are over, and if Sri Lanka lose, they will not be able to play in the Champions Trophy. But in today's match I think New Zealand will win. I think New Zealand will make it to the semi-finals.

But in today's match I think New Zealand will win. I think New Zealand will make it to the semi-finals.

The good thing about today's match will be that both the teams have the personal interest in winning the match and it is not like one team is out of the World Cup and hence the win or loss does not matter. Yes, Sri Lanka is out of the World Cup already but they will be playing for a win so that they may not be the team not qualifying for the champions trophy. New Zealand on the other hand will want to win this match and thus increase their chances of moving ahead in this tournament.

If we look at the odds of this match at stake.com, for Srilanka you will get 3.25 odds while for the New Zealand the odds are only 1.25 before the start of the match. We can clearly see that New Zealand is the favorite team and for Sri Lanka to win this one, they would be needing an upset.

Today match is very important match for New Zealand and also for Pakistan and Afghanistan. We know Srilanka has a bad performance in this ICC world cup but Sri Lanka can make a bridge for Pakistan to go in Semifinal. New Zealand will plat with interest and will try much to win this match. If New Zealand will win this match so New Zealand will qualify for semifinal and they have a good run rate so if Pakistan will win from England so it is not difficult to win in net run rate from New Zealand. So let's see what will happen.. 

[Patrol69]

If New Zealand can win against Sri Lanka today, they will almost certainly qualify for the semi-finals. A win against Sri Lanka today will not officially guarantee the semi-final but New Zealand will have a much better chance of making it to the semi-finals. Pakistan's next match is against England, even if Pakistan wins against England, Pakistan's chances will be low as Pakistan's net run rate is very low compared to New Zealand. Pakistan's only chance is if New Zealand loses today against Sri Lanka and they win the next match against England or they have another equation which is if New Zealand wins against Sri Lanka today then Pakistan must win against England by a huge margin. If these equations go in Pakistan's favour, Pakistan will be the fourth team to qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup.

In my opinion I think Pakistan have a little chance to go in the next round. Even then they seems like more stronger team from the England team but I have a doubt on that match result who's gonna won that match. But in today's match I think New Zealand team going to win even then New Zealand team passing a bad time but I think they have ability to win against Sri Lanka. So for today I am going to take New Zealand team for winning.

[MusaPk]

Tomorrow we have a really demanded Match because here will be decided whom will qualify for semifinals because if NewZeland won then there chances will be really high and paksitan has to won his game with big margin against England but if NewZeland lose or abounded due to rain then paksitan will be straight away to semifinals against india

Not only today's game is important for New Zealand and Pakistan but for Sri Lanka also. Sri Lanka is currently at number 9th position and if they lose today's game then they will also be eliminated from Champions trophy to be held in 2025. Pakistan can only qualify for next round if Sri Lanka win today's game otherwise it will be difficult for Pakistan to qualify for next round.

I think they have pretty good chance and they could very much get in despite so much shithousery because luck is kinda favoring them. They needed couple of other teams results going in their favor and it did happen with Aus vs Afg. They also needed a win against NZ and surprisingly Rain and Fakhar managed to secure a win despite the first 400 score of the 2023 WC.

Pakistan can only qualify for next round if Sri Lanka win today's game otherwise it will be difficult for Pakistan to qualify for next round.

Although Pakistan's performance is not up to the mark, I would say that at this point they are a much better team when compared to Sri Lanka. Without Hasaranga, Sri Lanka is a shit team. Even the addition of Angelo Mathews hasn't helped them. Out of the three teams in contention for the semi-final slot as the 4th placed team (Pakistan, Afghanistan and New Zealand), I would say that Pakistan has the maximum probability. New Zealand would come in next, despite their recent downturn in form and Afghanistan only has a remote possibility.

The good or bad thing about Pakistan team is that you cant predict how they will play on next fine morning. Pakistan chances of making to semis are rear if NZ won its game against SL. If NZ beat SL by one run then Pakistan has to beat England by 130 runs and to be precise if NZ beat SL by Z runs then Pakistan has to beat England by 130 x Z runs. As a Pakistani fan I don't wanna see Pakistan in semis as they have to face India and we have terrible record against India in WC.

Even if you see Pakistan's chances, I don't see Pakistan's chances to qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup. New Zealand beating Sri Lanka is more likely than Pakistan beating England so considering that, I think New Zealand will be the fourth team to play in the semi-finals. Pakistan should not only win against England but win by a huge margin. Pakistan is one point behind in terms of net run rate compared to New Zealand and recovering this 1 point is not an easy task. I initially assumed England to be defeated by Pakistan but not only defeating is not enough to get full points but also they need to achieve a net run rate of more than 1 then Pakistan can dream of playing semi-final. Pakistan's equation to play semi-final is tough but New Zealand's equation is easy so I think New Zealand will play semi-final as fourth team.

The New Zealand vs Sri Lanka match is very important for both the teams.  If New Zealand wins today's match, their hopes of playing in the semi-finals will be very much alive. So New Zealand will try hard to win this match today. Meanwhile, today's match is very important for Sri Lanka. Because if they lose today's match, they will not be able to participate in the Champions Trophy. Very aware of New Zealand's batting line, they batting well. If New Zealand bats first today, New Zealand can give Sri Lanka a target of 370 runs. Then it will be very difficult for Sri Lanka to win this match.

New Zealand hasn't won a match ever since they defeated Afghanistan on 18th October. They were unfortunate to loss the last match though. DLS defeated them despite batting first and scoring a massive 401. And for today's match the Kiwis have won the toss and decided to field first. They believe that Sri Lankan batsmen are out of form and they can bundle them out cheaply. Lockie Ferguson has been included in the playing XI and he replaces Ish Sodhi. Other pacers are unchanged from the last match - Tim Southee and Trent Boult.

Exactly they are thinking that SriLankan batsman are not able to score much therefore they have chosen the field first. And New Zealand believe that if they will restrict the SriLankan team under the 300 runs so they will easily won the match. But no one know about that Sri Lanka can also perform well in both batting and bowling line. But there are 70 to 80% chance that the New Zealand will win this match.

The New Zealand team will have to put in a lot of effort to win today if they want to go into the qualifiers. Because New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan have equal points for the three teams going into the qualifiers, New Zealand is ranked higher. So we must secure the qualifier match by winning against the Sri Lankan team today. If the New Zealand team loses then the chances of relegation are definitely high as their place in the points table will drop to the bottom. Today is New Zealand team's last match so Sri Lanka team will try hard to win the match and it would be better if they decide to bat early. However, if Sri Lanka can keep the team under pressure from the bowling side in the target game, then surely New Zealand's victory can be assured today.

Yes this match is very crucial for both squad but for Sri Lanka squad this match do not crucial for this tournament because they already eliminate from this contest, winning this match for Sri Lanka squad is very necessary for Champion Trophy, maintain their run rate is also essential. On other side, this match also important for New Zealand squad, of they lose this match there chance will be vanish to qualify in semi final. Now this match has started on the field. First Sri Lanka start this match by batting inning. Sri Lanka has been lost important wickets Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka.

Match has been started and the situation of Sri Lanka is really weak. They already lost 4 wickets in 8 overs and made only 70 runs. Kasal Parra is on pitch and trying to pulling score but only one man can't do anything.

 😁😁😁 While typing Kusal Parera is now out. They will not win this match even New Zealand will maintain its Net Run Rate much better and Pakistan will not qualify for the Semifinal.
