ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[leonair]

Is there anyone from Zimbabwe or Ireland? Do you guys support any of those cricket teams? Or do you guys write here just because you like watching cricket and sometimes gamble too? Or some people just write because they have to meet the post quota. I don't feel too interested in these matches. But, I see the scorecard because sometimes I check if there is any scope to place a bet.

The match between these teams was stopped due to rain and now it's declared as no result. I hate to see this result. I guess people lost their money whoever placed a bets. Or do they (Sportsbook) refund them for such case?

I don't specifically support any of these two teams in the game of cricket but only for today's match I support Ireland.  Because I can predict that Ireland's performance is much better than Zimbabwe's. A target of less than 300 runs in an ODI becomes a very weak target.  There Zimbabwe lost 6 wickets for 121 runs which means they will not be able to cross 200 runs in today's match.  And if the target is less than 200 runs, Ireland can win the match by crossing it. So I think the chances of Ireland winning today's match are very high

Japan managed to get to three digit score in their match against United Arab Emirates Under-19s at the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup. In return to UAE's score of 320/7, Japan are 140/4 after 39 overs. They are going to lose this match, but this time they have put up a decent performance. Obviously UAE is not one of the strongest teams, but they have a lot of players from India and Pakistan. And after suffering heavy defeats in the first two matches, the outcome is somewhat "encouraging" for the Japan U-19 team.

UAE19 gave a huge target to the JPN19 team. If we took a look on the UAE team batting line so we will see that the three players were good in batting. Dhruv Parashar Maroof Merchant And Aayan Afzal Khan. I really appreciate the batting of Aayan Afzal Khan he was playing really well he made 67 runs and hit 3 sixes. And important thing is that he remained not out in this match. Overall the UAE19 made 320 runs. Which I think was a good target for JPN19 team. And fortunately the Japan team didn't chase the target and UAE won the match.

Today was the match of Zimbabwe vs Ireland, but I think we cannot see that because the heavy rain came on the ground during the match so then they needed to stop and they stopped it, but we want to see this match because both series between them held after such a long time but weather doesn't want to see smiles on our faces and then they starting rain and match stopped, but maybe the match will continue after few time because the match is delayed not stopped, but I think that we can't see this match.

UAEU19 is actually a good team that were able to defeat Sri lanka U19 and reach the semi finals of the trophy though they might not stand a chance against India.
Sri Lankan junior team performed really bad and had a bad luck getting defeated from UAE. If it were a longer league. Things would have been different.
Japan is like a filler team to complete the set rather than an equal competitor. UAE's team is more comparable to that of Afghanistan and Nepal.
The semi that matters the most is Bangladesh vs Pakistan.

LOL.. Nepal has crawled to 52 against India at the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup. None of the batsmen could score in double digits and top-scorer was Hemant Dhami with 8 runs. Nepal had posted three digit totals against Pakistan and Afghanistan, so this match was a bit disappointing for them. Anyway, they should be proud that they managed to qualify for this tournament. Raj Limbani returned figures of 9.1-3-13-7 for India. India is already above Afghanistan in terms of net run rate, so they will easily qualify for the semi-finals after this match.

@Sithara007 I wasn’t expecting much from Nepal but this was a very poor performance and something the player’s won’t be proud off and I hope that they’ll work hard for future matches. Also team India definitely performed very well and who knows some of these player’s could go on to play in main Indian team in coming year’s as even Kohli was discovered when he used to play in the under 19s.

India won the match against Nepal with a huge and unbelievable performance. They completed the target in just seven overs, and they won by 10 wickets, and this match was played yesterday, and the Indian team had a great victory, only openers ended the game, and this victory led the Indian team to the Semi Final of this U19 Asia Cup.

India just lose their one match against Pakistan and when the Indian U19 team lose against Pakistan so that was such an embarrassing moment for them because they told before the match that their team could do anything, they can easily beat Pakistan that match but Pakistan team won.

Anyways there could be still a situation where Pakistan team can meet the India U19 team and believe me seeing them in the knockout of the matches, will be fun to watch.

Ireland VS Zimbabwe
Ireland vs Zimbabwe T20 series comes to an end, today the first match of the ODI series was abandoned due to rain. Zimbabwe lost the toss and went into bat and scored 121 runs for 6 wickets in 25.3 overs. If the match had been played at full, Ireland would have been more likely to win. Because Zimbabwe lost 6 wickets in 25 overs, it would not have been possible for Zimbabwe to set a target of enough runs. Zimbabwe benefited from rain today, otherwise Zimbabwe would have lost. Zimbabwe cannot perform as expected against a team like Ireland at home. As the ODI series will be a three-match series, the first match has unfortunately been abandoned due to rain. This series could be tied 1-1. To win this series either Ireland or Zimbabwe will have to win the next two matches. According to the current performance, I can see Ireland ahead of Zimbabwe to win the series. The second match of the series will be on December 15.

Zimbabwe team batting performance was very good opening, but 6 batsmen out of them. As one of the 6 batsmen failed to score a half-century, the highest score of 28 was scored by the three batsmen basically the batsmen were dismissed. The Zimbabwean team is under a lot of wicket pressure as they mustered only 121 runs for six wickets in 25 overs. Meanwhile, if wickets continue to fall like this, the Zimbabwean team will not be able to complete 200 runs. Ireland team is the best in terms of bowling performance so if they can protect the wickets and stay in the field then they will surely win. Currently the match has been postponed due to rain.

Japan did very decent job with the bat. In response to 320/7 made by the United Arab Emirates, they got to a total of 213/4. And this is very decent performance considering the fact that Japan is ranked #52 in ICC T20I rankings, while UAE is ranked at #17. Koji Abe made 69 not out, while Charles Hinze made 40 from just 36 balls. And in the end there was a little cameo from Kiefer Lake who made 31 from 27 balls. Charles Hinze returned exceptionally good bowling figures as well (10-1-42-2). Now Japan U-19 team can return home with their heads held high.

Ireland tour Zimbabwe to win the T20I series by 2/1 but are likely to win the ODI series. Zimbabwe was supposed to perform well at their home venue but their performance was not good at all so there is a possibility of defeat for Zimbabwe in the ODI series as well. As the first ODI match was abandoned only due to rain but the amount played suggests that it is difficult to say whether the 150 could have been scored as it most likely would have been had it not been for the rain. If the target was 150 or 200 runs, Ireland would have crossed the target very easily and Ireland would have won the first ODI match.

Banglandes U19  VS  Sri Lanka U19

Today, the Bangladesh Under 19 team will play against Sri Lanka Under 19 team. In this match, I consider the Bangladesh Under-19 team as my favourite. Bangladesh U19 team has several talented players. And the Bangladesh team won in 2 matches of the group stage. Bangladesh won by 61 runs against UAE and Bangladesh won by 9 wickets against Japan.

I don't think the Sri Lanka U19 team is very strong. I watched the match of UAE-19 vs Sri Lanka-19 team. Sri Lanka set a target of just 221 runs. And UAE team won the match. Sri Lanka's batting order is relatively weak. Bangladesh's Under 19 team will probably win today's match.

Bangladeshi U19 cricket team is improving their performance. So they have more chances to win but this is cricket. Any team can win match and the team will who will play good. It doesn't matter the favorite team will win match. If Sri Lankan U19 cricket team played excellent they can lose Bangladeshi U19 cricket team by a big margin. Bangladeshi U19 cricket team opener Ashiqur Rehman is excellent player and he will play excellent role in this match. Jishan Alam is also good batsman and he will play good in this match .

Bangladesh U19 won this match by 6 wickets and 55 balls left a great victory for Bangladesh U19 against Srilanka U19. Srilanka U19 poor performance and only scored 200 runs in loss of 9 wickets. Bangladesh U19 chasw down the target early 204 runs in just loss of 4 wickets in 40.5 overs. The batting and bowling performance of Bangladesh U19 is outstanding, Wasi Siddiquee bowling amazing picked 3 important wicktes by giving 31 runs in 10 pvers. Ashiqur Rahman Shibli batting performance is outstanding they scored century 116 runs unbeaten in 130.balls with help of 11 fours and 2 sixs and chase down the target easily.

Today was the first match of Zimbabwe and Ireland. Still, sadly we weren't able to see that match because rain was coming into the ground of Harare, the match was not stopped we could see the players playing after some minutes or hours, these all things was possible if rain had stopped and don't come again in this match but not to be.

Anyway, the 25 overs were passed and the Zimbabwe team played average if they had played like that so they would be able to give at least 250 runs target but they lost their wicket again and again, so I think they will fail to give a huge target.

Anyways, the rain the just ruined the dreams of both the teams and the crowd as well, as there was no result to this match.

[BitcoinsGreat]

Zimbabwe's first ODI tour of Ireland. Ireland won the toss and elected to bowl. Zimbabwe decided to bat and Zimbabwe lost 1 wicket in 9.1 overs and collected 46 runs. Earlier we saw a T20 series between these two teams where Ireland lost the first match and won the remaining 2 matches to winning the series. The two teams playing today's ODI I am not making any advance predictions here as both the participating teams are very strong. I will wait until the end of the match to see which team can perform well and win today's match. Let's see which team can win today's match.

Just a few days ago, in between Zimbabwe squad and Ireland squad T20 competition finished already with Zimbabwe squad win this competition by two matches. Now, ODI competition has begun between both these squads and today first match of this competition was playing on crease but sadly, this match was delay due to rain. Zimbabwe sqaud first came on crease started this match by batting inning and they already completed their half batting inning mean playing 25 overs and they collected 121 scores and which seems that this scores was not good in 25 overs and also they lost their six batters. If this match will continue then Zimbabwe sqaud collect almost 220 scores and below.

The match in between Zimbabwe and Ireland was delayed because of rain and I think that rain will never go from anywhere from the cricket ground of Harare according to the current situation.
Anyway, this was the first ODI between them and it ended with no result.

[Sithara007]

^^^ Although the match was washed out, once again Ireland's upper hand over Zimbabwe was clear. When rains struck, Zimbabwe was struggling at 121/6, with Graham Hume and Craig Young picking up two wickets apiece for Ireland. If there was no interruption, then Zimbabwe would have got bowled out for somewhere around 150 and Ireland would have won the match easily. Zimbabwe included a number of inexperienced players for this series, and this seems to have backfired on them. Not a single player managed to score more than 30 runs.

The match was abandoned dueto rain and save Zimbabwe from defeat from Ireland. Zimbabwe wcored 121 runs in koss of 6 wickets in 25.3 overs. Its very difficult for Zimbabwe to set a target of 200 plus runs beacuse they lost their top 6 wickets. Brandon Mavuta is playing good 28 runs not out in 22 balls. Ireland bowling performance in this match against Zimbabwe is outstanding Graham Hume bowl well picked 2 important wicktes by giving 7 runs in 4.3 overs and Craig Young also  bowl well picked 2 important wicktes by giving 33 runs.

That was a good score of 121 runs in just 25.3 over for the Team Zimbabwe. Because they have the ability to bowl well. Although the Team Ireland didn't perform well in their first overs. But the problem for the Zimbabwe team was that they have already been 6 wickets gone on the runs of 121. Although the rain which happened at the ground was better for them to save them for a big defeat against the Ireland.

If today's match had happened, Ireland would have won. After batting only 25 overs, Zimbabwe lost 6 wickets. I think they would have lost all wickets within 200 runs and Ireland could very well have won the match. Ireland bowlers Graham Hume and Craig Young both bowled brilliantly in the match. Joshua Little picked up the wicket of Sikandar Raza, the team captain and Zimbabwe's best scorer. Ireland won the last T20I series and hopefully the ODI series will also be in their control. The next two matches are crucial for both of the team.

In cricket such a batting score of 121/6 can be any time for any team but even with such a low score I have seen many teams winning with good bowling. However, Zimbabwe scored 121/6 in yesterday's match mainly because the wicket was slow and the pacers bowled well. The match was abandoned due to rain but Ireland would have been declared the winner as per DLS rules had the match not been abandoned. In this case, Ireland would have been leading 1/0 and could have secured the series victory only if they had won either of the two matches.

The 25 overs finished before the rain and in those overs, Zimbabwe didn't play well, The main players of Zimbabwe lost their wickets like Sikandar Raza the captain, and even one player was out on zero runs, and his name is Ryan Burl, and the other players of Zimbabwe team are equally played like him.

You forget to mention that they lost six wickets in order to make 121 runs. Had the rain did not come, they would have all out cheaply.

Japan managed to get to three digit score in their match against United Arab Emirates Under-19s at the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup. In return to UAE's score of 320/7, Japan are 140/4 after 39 overs. They are going to lose this match, but this time they have put up a decent performance. Obviously UAE is not one of the strongest teams, but they have a lot of players from India and Pakistan. And after suffering heavy defeats in the first two matches, the outcome is somewhat "encouraging" for the Japan U-19 team.

UAE19 gave a huge target to the JPN19 team. If we took a look on the UAE team batting line so we will see that the three players were good in batting. Dhruv Parashar Maroof Merchant And Aayan Afzal Khan. I really appreciate the batting of Aayan Afzal Khan he was playing really well he made 67 runs and hit 3 sixes. And important thing is that he remained not out in this match. Overall the UAE19 made 320 runs. Which I think was a good target for JPN19 team. And fortunately the Japan team didn't chase the target and UAE won the match.

UAE u19 team won this game from Japan u19 team with big margin of runs and this was the 12 th game of Asian Council Cricket series. UAE u19 team first get the opportunity to take first bowl or bat in today game and they decided bat first. UAE u19 set a 320 runs target in 50 overs by losing 7 wickets in today game and this was the big considering target in odi game. Japan u19 performance in today game was very poor and they did not chase down all target and they just chased 213 runs in 50 overs by losing 4 wickets. They batted very slow and did not score high runs in 50 overs. Few players of Japan u19 team was showed good performance like K.Abe scored 69 runs in 68 balls and he hitted five 4s and two 6s in pitch. If they performed well in batting lineup then they have a little more chance to win this game.

You forget to mention that they lost six wickets in order to make 121 runs. Had the rain did not come, they would have all out cheaply.

It was actually good in the end for Zimbabwe. Because the match was not played. I am pretty sure that if the match was actually played, they wouldn't have been able to win the match. Because they have already lost 6 wickets for not so much runs. And it was definitely going to be hard for them to even reach 200. And that was definitely going to be a very hard total to defend.

Anyway, I think there is a high chance that this series is going to turn out to be a draw. Because there are only two matches left and I don't think either of them are going to win both of the matches.
