ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Swordsoffreedom]

Soumya Sarkar may gift a victory to Bangladesh today. But the interesting thing is that he hardly got any support from the other batsmen. Apart from his 169, the next top score was 45 from the no.6 batsman Mushfiqur Rahim. And it's not like the New Zealand bowlers were wayward. They bowled with tight line and length, especially Adam Milne, Jacob Duffy and William O’Rourke. Adithya Ashok, on his ODI debut did a decent job as well. Still, a Bangladesh win is not confirmed yet. The pitch looks good for batting.

Despite Soumyo Sarker's massive collection of 169, Bangladesh failed to give away the 300+ target. I do not see any improvement in Bangladesh's batting order. Soumyo played well today. But Bangladesh's top order is weak as usual. Anamul Haque 2, Shanto and Liton returned to the dressing room with 6 runs each. If these 3 experienced top order batsmen could bat well, Bangladesh could have given a target of more than 350 in today's match. I don't think 291 is enough to beat New Zealand.

Bangladesh teams top orders are always failing to collect good start, it’s their common weakness for the long time. Yeah, only 2 batsman taken good runs Soumyo Sarkar 169 (151) & Musfiqur Rahim 45 (57), it was surprised to BAN team Soumyo got century after 5 years it’s a brilliant come back. Without top orders batsmans runs they will never reach 300 runs, so it’s not a fighting scored to New Zealand, they will win because they have strong batting line up.

Bangladesh team should have given 300+ target today. The main weakness of the Bangladesh team was that 2/1 players in the squad performed well, the rest of the players performed below average. In today's match, if one more top order batsman could have batted well with Soumyo Sarker, or if Miraz had been able to bat well, then Bangladesh team could have given 320+ target very easily. The performance of every Bangladeshi player is very erratic. This is why Bangladesh's overall performance is poor despite having a lot of talented players in the squad.

While I agree with you that in 50 over format, anything above 300 runs is a good target. That does not mean that 291 runs were not defendable by the Bangladesh team. The lack of experienced and effective bowlers has been an issue with the side, and it will continue to haunt them. New Zealand were always a good batting side, and they proved today once again that they can chase runs. Two more games left in this series and I am not expecting much from the Bangladesh side.

2nd ODI, Bangladesh tour of New Zealand. We watched the performance of Soumya Sarkar. His performance became unbelievable. His outstanding score is 169 from 151 balls including 2 sixes and 22 fours. If his best performance the match was beaten by New Zealand's all of the top order batsmen named Will Young  (89), Rachin Ravindra (45), Henry Nicholls (95), Tom Latham (34), and Tom Blundell (24). Congratulations to the entire New Zealand team.

In the second one-day match of Bangladesh, despite Soumya Sarkar's extraordinary performance, Bangladesh team could not win. Bangladesh set a target of 292 runs to New Zealand but Bangladesh batsmen could not bowl very well. If Bangladesh's batsmen could have bowled well, then maybe we would have seen the victory of Bangladesh in this match today. Because New Zealand played very well. New Zealand team won by seven wickets against Bangladesh. Congratulations to the New Zealand team.

Soumya Sarkar is an excellent player who has talent but has repeatedly failed to show his talent.Soumya Sarkar was the auto choice of the Bangladesh coaching staff and selectors because of her different game.Soumya Sarkar's cricket playing shots are so spectacular that even the coaches and selectors had faith in her that Soumya Sarkar would play well.He proved that by scoring 169 runs in the second match against New Zealand.We would like Soumya Sarkar to keep up this run-scoring streak in every match and play well.

We should write with some caution. However, we did not see good performance from the Bangladeshi bowlers in this match. But it cannot be said that the batsmen also played very well. Apart from Soumyo and Mushfiq, no player could stay at the crease for long.

We have seen the condition of Bangladesh team is weak for the last few years. They perform very well on spin friendly pitches in home matches. And wins against big teams. But Bangladesh's performance on the pitch of Australia, England or New Zealand is very weak and erratic. I have noticed that winning on a pace friendly pitch is much more challenging for the Bangladesh team. Bangladesh lost most of the matches.

Every New Zealand batsman is batting well, especially Will Young (89), Rachin Ravindra (45), Henry Nicholls (95), Tom Latham (22*) none of them bats badly. However, except Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim of Bangladesh, none of the remaining 9 batsmen have collected good runs from the bat. So how will Bangladesh perform well as a team? The top order batsmen in the Bangladesh squad need to be given temporary rest at times so that they can prepare themselves and perform well in the next matches.

In Bangladesh tour to New Zealand competition, today was last opportunity for Bangladesh squad to tie this competition by emerging victory because Bangladesh squad had already lost first match of competition and total four matches in this competition. Bangladesh squad lost this today second match but Bangladesh squad performance in this match was very impressive because they made a decent target and due to bowling performance they faced defeat. Every batters of New Zealand squad played very great and total they lost 3 batters only first starter batters collected high runs when they got out then next batters defend remaining target and get victory when 22 deliveries remained.

New Zealand won this match by 7 wickets and lead the series by 2-0. New Zealand chase down the target 296 runs in loss of 3 wickets in 46.2 overs. New Zealand batting performance is well especially Henry Nicholls who scored 95 runs in just 99 balls, unfortunately miss his well deserved century by 5 run short. will young also score well 89 runs in 94 balls and played an important role of NewZealand victory. The player of the match is Soumya Sarkar for his outstanding batting 169 runs in just 151 balls that helped Bangladesh to scored a decent total 291 runs for Bangladesh.

To be honest, I criticized BCB for taking Soumya Sarkar in the squad. He did not perform anywhere and did nothing which could be a reason for his inclusions. He failed in the first match and he took the 2nd opportunity to prove himself. Nice to see he got himself back but the problem is, that Bangladeshi batters are unable to continue their performance. I know that Soumya sarkar is now confirmed for the next ten ODI matches by soring 169 runs. I won't be surprised if I see he is not able to score 30+ runs in the next ten matches. Bangladesh Playing with a very young team and I wasn't expecting win from them. But, the overall performance wasn't good at all except for Soumya.

Soumya Sarkar's innings of 169 runs is undoubtedly an achievement for Bangladesh but only Soumya Sarkar, the rest of the Bangladeshi batsmen could not do anything for Bangladesh. Today's New Zealand pitch was a fully batting assisted pitch but the Bangladeshi batsmen batted in a manner that looked like a fully bowling assisted pitch. In fact, Bangladeshi batsmen have not learned to play cricket but they are so used to playing on the spinner pitch of Bangladesh that when they travel abroad, they fail completely on other pitches. In this case, I will blame the domestic cricket pitch of Bangladesh. Bangladeshi batsmen will not be able to perform well on foreign tours as long as the fast ball pitch is not helpful in the domestic cricket of Bangladesh.

At home, Bangladeshi curators prepare minefields against visiting teams, that give the home team an unfair advantage. Now the issue comes when they play matches in green pitches abroad. As you can see, none of the batsmen apart from Soumya were able to score even a half-century. And that too against a relatively inexperienced bowling lineup that featured players such as Jacob Duffy, William O’Rourke, Josh Clarkson and Adithya Ashok. And in return, the Bangladeshi pacers failed to make use of the conditions.

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.

The match of India and South Africa was finished yesterday and in this match, South Africa was won against India with a beauty.

Indian team can win if they have a good squad, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma are resting so maybe we will see him only at the World Cups.

They don't have any interest in playing series, and maybe Virat Kohli will not play in the T20 World Cup because, in the recent, a meeting was held between Virat and the some big BCCI people, and according to that meeting, Virat can't able to make his place in the T20 World Cup and they Iwshan Kishan to Virat.

But Bangladesh's top order is weak as usual. Anamul Haque 2, Shanto and Liton returned to the dressing room with 6 runs each. If these 3 experienced top order batsmen could bat well, Bangladesh could have given a target of more than 350 in today's match. I don't think 291 is enough to beat New Zealand.

Bangladesh has been looking very weak since the Cricket World Cup and it is not clear when Bangladesh's weakness will end.  This is the failure of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.  They could not form a good team.  On the other hand, I saw in a news that Shakib Al Hasan, the all-rounder player of the Bangladesh team, is going to vote for parliament, so my question is, if a player is busy with politics, when will he pay attention to the game lol... This is how Bangladesh is ruining the reputation of the cricket game.  Bangladesh had a very good reputation in the game of cricket but they are not able to maintain it

After seeing the batting performance of the Bangladesh team in the first innings of the last match, it seemed that Bangladesh might be able to win that match but it did not happen. New Zealand team performed better than Bangladesh as they managed to score their target for just losing 3 wickets. But those who were Bangladeshi supporters were completely impressed by Soumya Sarkar's batting. Soumya Sarkar regained form after a long time. He was able to score 169 runs in the last match. On the other hand, no one from New Zealand could score a hundred, but they performed consistently. Because of which they were able to chase 291 very easily.

op I agree with you. Because they have not been able to get out of the batting failure that Bangladesh has been suffering from since the 2023 World Cup. Bangladesh had a fairly good run in the second ODI against New Zealand. Soumya Sarkar came into the field after five long years and scored a brilliant century. But Soumya Sarkar's 169 could not give victory to Bangladesh. But as the reason why Bangladesh lost in today's match, I will see that the batting was fair. But Bangladesh could not bowl well due to which Bangladesh team lost today.

There is no doubt that the Bangladesh team at home is very strong. Invariably they produce spin friendly pitches. It is possible to win if you can collect like 200-250 on such a pitch. I would say this is one of the reasons for Bangladesh's bad batting. We have seen Bangladeshi batsmen score 300+ runs in very few matches. This team can't play well against big collections either. Bangladesh should change their batting strategy. Finding hard hitting batsmen. The population of Bangladesh is very large and the people of Bangladesh are also very interested in cricket. Still I don't know why this team is in such bad condition.

I would say that you have caught the main problem of the Bangladesh team.There is no question that Bangladesh team cannot play well against any country on foreign soil especially if that pitch is pace bowling friendly.
The few series that Bangladesh have won against big teams have been on Bangladeshi soil and on spin friendly pitches.Playing on spin friendly pitch Bangladeshi players are deteriorating their batting day by day even they can not play pace bowling well.
If Bangladeshi cricket wants to improve, then they have to constantly gain experience playing on pace-friendly pitches.

[roksana.hee]

Bangladeshi batsmen will not be able to perform well on foreign tours as long as the fast ball pitch is not helpful in the domestic cricket of Bangladesh.

It is disheartening to see the overall performance of the Bangladeshi batsmen not meeting expectations. The criticism of their struggle on foreign pitches is attributed to their familiarity with spinner-friendly conditions in Bangladesh during domestic cricket.

Bangladesh needed to have an experienced pace bowler in the squad on such a pitch. Shariful or Hasan are talented but not experienced enough. If Taskin was in the squad, maybe we would have seen the bowling of Bangladesh a little better. The target was not big. And so New Zealand's batsmen batted in a pressure free manner. A win with a target of 291 runs is certainly possible if the team's bowling attack is strong. Bangladesh's bowling attack is not strong. So it is much more difficult to win on a pitch that offers a target of less than 300.

If Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed were there, then things could have been a bit different. But that doesn't change the fact that Bangladesh doesn't have any world class pace bowlers. They have minefields at home which offer disproportionate support for the spin bowlers. This in turn discourages the pace bowlers. I would rather say that after the retirement of Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Bangladesh never had a world class pacer in their squad. Well, that will work when playing in the subcontinent. But while playing in SENA nations, it will come back to bite you.

South Africa Women vs Bangladesh Women

Today is the second ODI match between SA and BAN. In the first match Bangladesh Women team played really well gave the target of 251 runs. After that with excellent bowling Bangladesh Women team out the whole team of South Africa on 131 runs.
The match will start after 2 minutes. South Africa won the toss and chose to field first. Means again they are giving a chance to Bangladesh to make good runs and if Bangladesh again make 250+ runs so it will be difficult for South Africa to chase.
