ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

260 was not bad target, but these youths are lacking some quality which is also important because they are coming from good roots, and they need to give their best which is important in these events, but sadly bowling were really poor, and they were completely unable to have something positive which surely helps Pakistani batsmen to settle and having easy runs specially Azan was impressive as he completes his century and Saad captain also give him good support for the win cause.

After lost of first wicket we have strong match winning partnership between Shahzaib and Azan which change the match momentum and bring Pakistan in better position and after lost of Shahzaib we have another good partnership which helps to end the match on high note for the Pakistan.

Pakistan has played some good cricketing hits, also they were at their best. Azan played a good innings and that will also be remarkable innings of the Azan for him and also for the Pakistan Team.

Pakistan in these matches of the U19 plays almost outclass and they have clarified that they have the ability and the spirit of winning the match at every stage as which they have been shown us today and they can also have great bowling attack.

After watching the stats of Pakistan U19 team, I was thinking that U19 team is better than the International team. Pakistan U19 team played two of the matches and won both of the matches. In the first match they played with Nepal and they out the whole team of Nepal at 152 runs. And they chased the target with in 27 overs. That was amazing.

The second match was with India and India made 259 runs and lost 9 wickets. But if you will see the Pakistan so they only lost 2 wickets and chased the target in 47 overs. In this match I really appreciate the performance of the Azan Awais who made century and remained not out. After that Saad Baig and Shahzaib Khan also played well. And in bowling we can see Mohammad Zeeshan was great who out 4 players of Indian team. Congratulations to Pakistan.

Historically, Pakistan has performed quite well at the U-19 level. And a big reason for this is the presence of large number of teenagers in the first class system of Pakistan. If you check county cricket in England or the Sheffield Shield of Australia, you will not find many teenage players. But that is not the case in Pakistan, as they have a good cricket structure at the colleges and schools. Players progress from schools and colleges to first-class teams, unlike the case in England and Australia where the players for first class teams are mostly sourced from feeder clubs.

Two matches are in progress in Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup. In Group B, Japan is batting after they loss the toss and they have another disappointing batting. Japanese team are 89/7 in 43 overs and looks like they will be able to score 100 runs this time. In there last game they were all out on just 75 runs. Seeing performance of Japanese team its evident that there is not much scope of cricket in Japan. Meanwhile its a game where Bangladeshi bowlers can improve there stats.

Japan is already all out for 99. Right now the innings break is going on. I am pretty sure that Bangladesh is going to be able to score this pretty easily. The target is definitely not big for Bangladesh under 19. I believe Bangladesh is going to be able to score this in no time. I will also not be surprised if Bangladesh somehow is able to win without closing a single wicket.

But just because of this performance, I would not say that Japan does not have any chance in cricket. They will just have to improve and be determined to improve quickly.

Not really surprised because Japan is not one of the strongest teams from this region. Bangladesh are now 71/0 after 7.4 and looks like they will win within the first 10 overs. Even then, Japan should be proud of the fact that they managed to qualify ahead of strong teams such as Singapore, Malaysia, Oman, Hong Kong and Kuwait, by finishing within the top-3 of 2023 ACC Men's Under-19 Premier Cup.

Bangladesh already won the match losing 1 wicket. I appreciate that 99 runs are not a big fate for Bangladesh Team. Ashiqur Rahman Shibli played well and got his fifty with 8 fours. His total runs is 55 from 45 balls. We can see the strict rate is 122.22. It's well performed U19. Best of luck U19 Bangladesh Cricket Team.

In previous match of Japanese,Japanese played very poor. In my opinion, they are not interested in playing cricket and they are focused on only technology but they should also focus on cricket because cricket changes the World. No player of Japan is like U19 cricket player. They look like a club player and they have low confidence and did not play openly. Japan U19 cricket team was all team out by making only 99 and they gave a target of only 100 runs and Bangladeshi U19 cricket team Chased the target in 11.2 overs by falling only 1 wicket. Bangladeshi U19 cricket team played very well . Ashiqur Rehman was a top scorer of the match and he made excellent 55 runs in just 45 balls and Jishan Alam also played very well and he performed brilliant 29 runs in just 16 balls. Bangladeshi U19 cricket team is improving their performance.

Today match is the between Bangladesh and Japan. Bangladesh won the toss and first decided bowling. Japan batsman makes 14 run in 3 over and Bangladesh no any wicket against Japan. Bangladesh bowler out the Japan batsman in the fourth ball of the 10 over. This is the first achievement for Bangladesh team. Japan batsman makes 23 run in 13 over and 1 out. Japan batsman could not worked hard and struggle and effort. Once time again Bangladesh bowler out the Japan batsman in the first ball of the 14 over. This is the second achievement for Bangladesh team. Japan batsman makes 99 run in 48 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Bangladesh team. This is very easy target. The Japanese batsmen could not create a difficult target for Bangladesh. Bangladesh batsman complete this target and won the match. Bangladesh batsman makes 100 run in 12 over and won the match.

Travis freaking Head has been named the player of the month by ICC for Nov 2023 and he truly deserves the honor for his epic performances throughout the recently concluded ODI World Cup.

He beat Maxwell and Shami to claim the honor and it seems that Warner was the last Australian to claim it way back in 2021.

In today era, ODI cricket has become very fast, and the targets are also made very big. The way the Japanese players were playing did not look like they were playing an ODI match. If we look at their run-rate, Japan batsmen were very slow from the start, and in almost all 50 overs they did not attempt more than 2 runs per over.

Bangladesh bowlers have bowled 13 maidens overs, including four overs by one bowler. I think such slow batting is not done even in Test cricket. Japan 99 runs included 15 extra runs. Bangladesh openers provided a brilliant opening of 71 runs, after which there was no difficulty in the target of 100 runs. However, Japan still needs to work hard in all areas, so that it can do something in international cricket.

Travis Head 137 off 120 balls.
Based on that innings in the final match of the World Cup, Travis Head became the man of the month. When India were bowled out for 240 runs on that very pitch, Australia fell into disarray early on. In the face of that disaster, Australia was able to win the glory of becoming champions for the sixth time by defeating India in that match based on Travis Head's innings of 137 runs. Maybe that's why Travis Head has been Man of the Month in ODI format in cricket.

I would day still it's unfair that Maxwell haven't been awarded that honor because what we saw on that day may never gonna happen in the history of cricket, and he did it even with cramps all over his body and he couldn't do anything than just swing the bat only with hand action not the body along with it.

Anyway, Head also joined an elite record club too by making it to player of the match on semi-final and final of world cup matches.

Japan playing cricket that is really a big win for cricket. The Japanese have a pre-existing aversion to cricket. They are not very fond of any game for a long time. But at present they have moved away from that position even if slightly. Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup 2023 they scored 99 runs against Bangladesh. This score is small against Bangladesh team but not less for the Japanese team. In this match I like that Japan batted till 47 overs which is a big achievement for them. Also one of their players Nihar Parmar who scored highest run of the team by scoring 18 from 80 balls. This score is small in ODI cricket but he will be quite ahead in the fight to survive with wickets on the pitch. As they are new they need time to build a cricket position.

The Japan team is completely new to cricket. And this was the first time I saw the Japanese team playing cricket. I am very happy that teams like Japan and USA are getting interested in cricket now. This will further spread cricket.

It is true that Japan played badly. There was very little chance that Japan would play well against Bangladesh's No. 19 team. And as usual they lost. But if this team is diligent then hopefully they can do well in future. We have seen the Japanese team play well in the Olympics and football. But this team is completely new to cricket. They just need more time to get used to cricket.

I agree with you. It is good news that countries like Japan are playing cricket. Also in the squads of teams like USA and UAE I have seen most of the players are foreigners. They don't have many nativ players. But the Japan U19 team I have seen most of the players are nativ from Japan. They need time to improve in cricket. Bangladesh has been associated with cricket for a long time. And cricket is very popular in their country. Cricket is still not popular in Japan. I think many people in Japan are still not aware of cricket. This team needs a long time to do well. In future maybe Japan team will play against teams like Nepal, Bhutan and Malaysia. If Japan hosts a series against these teams, the matches are likely to be competitive.

I don't think this is unfair because Travis Head deserve this award as he was really impressive in his last two and crucial games of the world cup and both times he has done good job which help his team for winning this world cup again after 8 years and sixth time which is now record in ODI history.

There is no doubt about impressive performance from Glenn Maxwell and Mohammad Shami but as we are already had this for the Travis Head we have to appreciate his performance and work for his team in this big event where things were not ideal for the many other world-class players, and they were badly down and out of the game which hurt their teams as well and few were good in early matches but sadly fail to give their best in last important games as well.

Well, I actually thought that the performance from Glen Maxwell was actually more important for Australia. Because if he was unable to pull off that performance, Australia might have never actually reached the final.  And I think the way he performed in that match was incredible. He literally stood on one leg and smashed every other ball to the boundary.  Yes I understand that the performance from Travis Head was also very important. But the thing is Australia was actually able to reach that situation because of Glenn Maxwell.
