South Africa  vs  India

South Africa won the toss and decided to field today against India. In the first match we saw that the South African team faced a batting disaster by batting earlier. The team lost all wickets for just 116 runs. Indian team reached the target of victory very easily. And so the decision to take the fielding in today's match seems right to me.

Raturaj Gaikwad opened the innings with a boundary on the first ball. But Gaikwad got out on the second ball and returned to the dressing room. Openers should bat responsibly. One should not bat aggressively in the opening overs in the ODI format.

Indian team is performing very patiently in today's match. Since it is an ODI match, they will try to protect the wicket and play till the end. If the Indian team continues to collect runs like this then they will be able to collect 300 plus runs in the end.  If India team can collect 300 then definitely win. Meanwhile, South Africa has not been able to put much pressure on the Indian team in terms of bowling because the run rate is high so far. So far India team has collected 91 runs 2 wickets in 22 overs.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh

In the first match between Bangladesh and New Zealand, due to rain, both teams got a chance to play 30 overs.
Batting first, New Zealand scored 239 runs in 30 overs.
Batting against the target of 239 runs given by the New Zealand team, Aisa Bangladesh was bowled out for just 200 runs.In this match, Bangladesh was miserably defeated by New Zealand. The second ODI between Bangladesh and New Zealand will be held on December 20.Maybe Bangladesh will turn around in this match and try their best to win the match against New Zealand.

New Zealand won the first match against Bangladesh by 44 runs in rain-rule. New Zealand and Bangladesh will once again play the second ODI match on the 20th. In the first ODI against New Zealand, Bangladesh fielded some young cricketers in the XI, the second ODI might be similar so we will see the XI. 
In the first ODI match, the bowling weakness, batting weakness and especially the captaincy weakness were clearly exposed. In the first ODI match, I feel that Shant is still not the right choice for the Bangladesh Cricket Board as captain. Shanto needs to practice his captaincy a lot because he made many wrong decisions which are not usually seen in this type of professional cricket. In the second ODI match, we will definitely expect Shanth to captain better than the first ODI match because if the captaincy is not good then there is no chance of winning that match.

South Africa  vs  India

South Africa won the toss and decided to field today against India.

Hahaha!
They think India done with us in the previous match and now they have chosen to field first. They will see the batting of India team first.
But South Africa just surprising me and they have collected first wicket on the second ball of the match. Ruturaj Gaikwad  made only 4 runs. Now Tilak Varma and Sai Sudharsan are facing the South African team. And they are playing wisely. And not trying to give them wicket. I hope that India will perform in this match too. But there are the chances that South Africa can make a comeback.

In the second ODI against South Africa vs India, South Africa won the toss and elected to field first. South Africa opted to bowl first. India's opener Ruturaj Gaikwad got out after just two balls. India's current score is 55 for two in 15 overs. India's current playing situation seems if their next batsmen can run in a good partnership then maybe India can score some good runs. With the Indian batsmen playing well, we can definitely expect them to score some good runs and target South Africa. Let's see how many runs India can give to South Africa.

Indian squad already lead with one winning match from South Africa squad and in first match, South Africa squad lost this match very badly and their batting inning performance was too low quality and South Africa squad just made 116 scores as defending target by batting 50 overs. But in current match, south Africa squad bowling inning performance was shown significant improvement and so far, Indian squad has played half obera of this match they did not collect decent scores only 112 scores with loss of 2 batters. Sai Sudharsan a d KL Rahul both these batters made good dual batting partnership and almost 100 scores if they will not out then they made 250 scores target.

India are currently under a lot of pressure in today's second ODI as they have amassed 141 for four in 33 overs. Sai Sudarshan played an innings of 60 runs on which he scored 141 runs. KL Rahul and Rinku Singh remained unbeaten on wickets. Although after these two all the other batsmen are basically bowling all-rounders nothing defensive can be expected from them. If Rinku Singh and KL Rahul can bat till forty overs then India's collection will go above 250 runs. And if the all-out is quick then India may score below 250 runs.

After winning of toss South Africa decide to bowl first which was good decision and now their bowlers are dominating on this pitch and India is having deep trouble after 36 overs they are having just 168 runs and their all top order batsmen back to pavilion with Sai Sudharsan and captain K Rahul done good job even they lost their wickets on wrong time but still these both manage fifties which allow India to have some decent runs on board now we have Rinku Singh and Axar Patel on crease so these both needs to stay for some more overs because if they keep hitting then can lose wickets and bring more pressure on next batsmen but now time for staying and having some good target for the South Africa which is trying to bounce back after first worst defeat.

Edit: Rinku gone, so look like now they are going to have trouble for good target.

[fullhdpixel]

The way Bangladesh team started the game against New Zealand in the first match was not possible for them, but due to the fall of wickets it was not possible. But I think Bangladesh has a chance to win against New Zealand if the next match is not rained and DL system is not used. And the second ODI match is most important for Bangladesh because if they don't win one match then they will not win the series. So Bangladesh have to play accordingly and beat New Zealand or else they cannot win this third ODI series.

New Zealand conditions are never been easy for the subcontinent teams with after having early wickets Bangladesh team fail to keep pressure and allow them for having better target which give them win at the end here they need to have some aggressive approach which is important while you are playing in SENA countries without aggression you can't win or even give them tough challenge Will Young and Tom Latham play good game after fallen of two wickets which make good difference in this game and Bangladesh were not able to recover this all their middle order fail to give any stance for this target just because of this at the end they fall short of 44 runs which was revised target after rain interruption hopefully now in next game we will have better performance from them.

The Indian team is under a lot of pressure in the second ODI of India vs South Africa. If we look at the first ODI, South Africa lost badly to India in that match. But in today's match, the way South Africa put the Indian batsmen under pressure. Indian batsmen are not scoring good runs. The way the Indian batsmen are batting, it seems that India can score a maximum of 270 runs. And if South Africa can restrict India to 270 runs and if South Africa bats well then maybe this match can be won by South Africa today. But the South African bowlers are bowling well as the Indian batsmen are very strong especially Rinku Singh who is in great form. But in today's match, Rinku Shing was out after scoring only 17 runs.

India has been bowled out for 211 runs, with Sai Sudharsan being the top scorer. The Proteas displayed an excellent bowling performance to limit India. While India could have done better, but their bowlers lead all the way. Credit goes to Nandre Burger with 3 wickets, impressed me a lot. Burger showed good rhythm and pace in his bowling.
Now, South Africa needs 212 runs to win. It's a competitive score at Saint George's Park, and South African batters will need to focus and adhere to a proper game plan. Let's see how they fare in the chase.

[Webetcoins]

Their batting lineup was not very experienced. Quinton de Kock has retired from ODI format to focus more on T20. And during last match the inexperienced pair of Reeza Hendricks and Tony de Zorzi opened the batting for them. The middle order was quite experienced, with players such as Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller. But none of them scored runs during the last match. And then their pace bowlers were completely new to international cricket, including Nandre Burger and Wiaan Mulder. 

I don't really understand where South Africa's problem lies, although they did fairly well in the ICC World Cup 2023 a few days ago and managed to reach the semi-finals. Yes it is true that, Indian team is more stronger from the both side batting and bowling from current South African team. But, actually, I didn't expect that they did the performance in previous match, they show a very poor performance specially in the side of batting.  I don't think any different thing will happen today other than that, India will win this match.

You need to understand ground realities about South African cricket which is going down day by day due to their poor management and too much political influence; after retirement of the few players again they are facing problems because their bench power is never been strong to give them good chance for giving best in games and their system is also not good which have positive impact after world cup now they are again on back foot which is surely disappointing for their fans and players as well.

Indian long-term strategy now giving them good reward, and they are having strong bench power which is capable of giving them good success as they are doing after world cup against quality teams like Australia and South Africa even their many main players are on rotation but still things are working as they wanted which is big achievement for them and future of the in this country.

South Africa won the toss today and decided to field. After losing 2 wickets after India's 50 runs, India was under some pressure and tried to pull the team out from there, Sudharsan and Rahul.sai. Sudharsan and Rahul performed fairly well. Sudharsan scored 62 runs from 83 balls and Rahul scored 56 runs from 64 balls. Apart from India's Sai Sudharsan and Rahul, no one has scored a good run. Finally, South Africa bowled India out for 211 runs. South Africa will bat at a target of 212 runs if the South African batsmen can bat well then today's match will be easily won by South Africa. If the Indian team wants to win today's match, they must bowl well. Let's see how well the Indian team can bowl.

In fact, as I expected a poor performance, South Africa performed a little better than that in the bowling line-up. Before the start of the match, I thought that India might win today's match, but now I want to see that South Africa also has a chance to win. Require runrate is very low, but seeing the low require runrate, you can't be batting hot, if they keep their cool and bat today, I think this match will be very easy for South Africa to win.

Nandre Burger was good in this match. He collect 3 wickets in whole match.
Overall South Africa is playing really well at this time and making a great comeback. The target is not quite high I think South Africa will chase this target easily.
So the current situation is that the target is 212 and Tony de Zorzi and Reeza Hendricks are facing the Indian bowlers and they made 17 runs in 5 overs. They are playing little bit slow because they don't want to give a wicket. Let's see they will chase the target or not.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh

In the first match between Bangladesh and New Zealand, due to rain, both teams got a chance to play 30 overs.
Batting first, New Zealand scored 239 runs in 30 overs.
Batting against the target of 239 runs given by the New Zealand team, Aisa Bangladesh was bowled out for just 200 runs.In this match, Bangladesh was miserably defeated by New Zealand. The second ODI between Bangladesh and New Zealand will be held on December 20.Maybe Bangladesh will turn around in this match and try their best to win the match against New Zealand.

The second ODI is playing between New Zealand and Bangladesh is played Tomorrow at Oval. In 1st Odi New Zealand won by 44 runs by dls method and lead the series by 1-0. New Zealand is favourite to win this match. New Zealand scored 239 runs in loss of 7 wickets in 30 overs. New Zealand batters perform well especially Will Young who scored brilliant century 105 runs in 84 balls and Tom Layham also scored well in this match scored 92 runs in just 77 balls, but unfortunately miss his well deserved century bu 8 runs short. Bangladesh only fast bowlers Shoriful Islam perform well picked 2 important wicktes by giving 28 runs in 6 overs and Mehidy Hasan Miraz also pick  1 wicket but didn't restrict New Zealand in low runs target.

South Africa will bat at a target of 212 runs if the South African batsmen can bat well then today's match will be easily won by South Africa. If the Indian team wants to win today's match, they must bowl well. Let's see how well the Indian team can bowl.

This time South Africa bowled very well and bowled out the entire Indian team in 46 overs. India made only 211 run .But this score is too low to win, South Africa has a chance to win this match very easily. Now south Africa has been playing Hendricks and  De Zorzi partnership on pitch. De Zorzi is batting very carefully and has scored 16 runs in 20 ball and Hendricks made 7 run in 20 balls .If talking about bowling side performance of south Africa player Burger and Hendricks play very well Burger took 3 wickets by giving 30 run in 10 overs Hendricks took 2 wickets by giving 34 run in 9 overs .

Both batsmen of Indian team performed very well but the latter only had more fall of wickets. Due to which, despite starting well, the Indian team got all out under the pressure of the wicket towards the last. Both Sudarshan and Rahul scored half-centuries, but the opening batsmen and subsequent batsmen did not perform well. And managed to score 211 runs in the last minute, Nandre Burger has been the best bowling performance of the South African team. He picked up three wickets in ten overs for just 30 runs. South Africa will surely win as the powerplay has yet to see the fall of any wicket.

South Africa Needs 174 runs in 40 overs to win this match. South Africa scored 39 runs without loss of any wicket in 10 overs. India didn't perform well only manage to scored 211 runs all out in just 46.2 overs. Inda bastmen didn't bat well only Sai Sudharsan batt welled scored 62 runs in 82 balls and KL Rahul scored a fifty runs that helped India to cross 200 runs total. South Africa bowling performance in this match is amazing especially Nandre Burger who picked 3 important wicktes by giving 30 runs in 10 overs.

[FinePoine0]

The South African team has so far collected 105 runs without a wicket in 23 overs. South Africa team has been performing very well as they have not lost any wicket yet. But the Indian team was forced to go all out at the last minute due to the high fall of wickets. It appears now that the Indian team could not put any pressure on the South African team in terms of bowling. So today West Indies team opening batsman pair is very strong and they will take the team to win without wicket.

After scoring 211 runs Indian bowlers are also doing casual stuff which is not helping them and South African openers are doing their job easily which is really frustrating now after 24 overs we have 118 runs without any lost and both openers are already settled which mean we can expect 10 wickets lost as well which could be really embarrassing for them after having impressive win into their first game of this ODI series.

Kuldeep Yadav and Avesh Khan both have punishment from both openers and new batsman Tony de Zorz is doing good job look like he is going to be second Chris Gayle in coming days with his style but for performance it's never been easy because it needs good time and experience as well.

South Africa may not be able to win by 10 wickets as they have already lost one wicket in 152 runs. South Africa is playing very well in the second ODI match against India. South Africa need only 60 runs to win.Maybe in this match South Africa will beat India by a huge margin of nine wickets to settle the series 1-1.
Apart from Lokesh Rahul and Sai Sudarshan, none of the Indian team batted well today.Based on the batting of these two, India scored 211 runs today which is a very small run.

[cozytrade]

In today's second match of the ODI series against South Africa, India lost all wickets in the first innings game and collected 211 runs and now are bowling in the second innings. The bowling line-up of Indian bowlers in today's match is very bad. They are yet to take any wicket of the South African team in the game of 27 overs. It is a big failure for Indian bowlers. I never imagined that India's bowling side will be so weak in today's match. On the other hand, the two openers of the South African team have been in great form in batting since the beginning. The South African team has collected 129 runs without a wicket after playing 27 overs so far. Looking at the trend of the game, it seems that the Indian team is likely to lose in today's match. I bet for India team in this match. Now if the Indian team loses this match. Then my bet today will go down the drain
