ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Soumya Sarkar 169 on just 151 balls went useless today. Bangladesh had adequate runs on the board yet they lost the game. Mushfiqur Rahim was the second one after Sarkar to score some runs. Bangladesh could have easily scored 325 runs if rest of batsmen also made some contribution. With this win New Zealand now has also won the series and there won't be much interest left in last game.

325 would have been good, but the pitch was offering support for the batsmen as well as the bowlers. And New Zealand had experienced pacer in the form of Adam Milne (who went for 74 runs in his 10 overs). But it was the inexperienced duo of William O’Rourke and Jacob Duffy who broke the backbone of Bangladeshi batters. Soumya Sarkar was the lone player who offered resistance. If he had received some support form the other batsmen, then Bangladesh would have easily made a total of 300 or more.

New Zealand batsman played very well but scored only 291 runs and all out in just 49.5 overs. No doubt Soumya Sarkar playing well 169 runs in just 151 balls and Mushfiqur Rahim played a good inning of 45 runs in 57 balls but if these bastmen play fast cricket and set a total of 350 plus runs than they have good chance to win match. New Zealand batters especially Will O'Rourke picked 3 important wicktes by giving 47 runs in 9.5 overs and Jacob Duffy picked 3 Crusial wickets by giving 51 runs and restricted under 300 runs.

New Zealand certainly played very well and this was achieved due to the weakness of Bangladesh which made Bangladesh very weak in the game of cricket. But how long this weakness can be overcome depends on how well they are training.  Bangladesh was not that weak in the game of cricket but recently they have become very weak. But surely they can improve their performance again and they can go to a good position again in the cricket world. Bangladesh team has both good batsmen and bowlers. So they can do well again.  Just a bit of hard effort will be required

India vs South Africa in today's second ODI match, batting in the first innings, India collected 211 runs and got all out. In today's match, the Indian team did not bat very well due to which they did not score many runs. But today it can be safely said that South Africa is looking forward to a great win against India and in the end the result will be South Africa win. South Africa's batsman Tony de Zorzi's amazing batting form today led South Africa to win against India. Tony de Zorzi's brilliant batting performance of 122 off 119 runs saw us win a remarkable victory.

In today game, South Africa team get a chance by winning a toss and they elected bowl first in 2 nd game. India game showed worst effort in today game and they started first by batting lineup. India team scored total 211 runs in 46.2 overs after 46.2 overs entire team of India team dismissed from pitch. T. de Zorzi batsman effort very good in today game because he scored 119 runs in 122 balls with nine 4s and six 6s on pitch. T. de Zorzi was not dismissed from any bowler of Indian team and we know that India team is not a weak in cricket game. Now , both teams won one game each and equal chance to win 3 rd last game and win this series. South Africa won this game by 8 wickets and 45 balls high margin or wickets and balls.

Ruturaj Dashrat Gaikwad used 2 balls and able to made 4 runs. Sai Sudharsan made 62 runs and used 83 balls. Tilak Varma made 10 runs and used 30 balls. The captain KL Rahul made 56 runs and used 64 balls. Sanju Samson made 12 runs and he used 23 balls. Rinku Singh made 17 runs in 14 balls. Axar Patel made 7 runs in 23 balls. Kuldeep Yadav made 1 runs in 5 balls. Arshdeep Singh used 17 balls and he made 18 runs. Avesh Khan made 9 runs and he used 9 balls. Mukesh Kumar made 9 balls in 4 runs.

Short summary is that India's batsmen did not bat well and they were all out at 211 in 46.2 overs. There was no way, India could win this match unless they also bowled out South Africa, but it did not happen. South Africa achieved the target by losing only two wickets.

An easy win for SA today after they bowled out India at 211. Only two fifties in this match from India side and SA don't have to work hard to chase that small target. In first ODI we saw SA bowled out for just 116 runs and today SA was on top. Both teams are now equally popular for the last game and its not easy to predict who will win the last game.

The match of New Zealand vs Bangladesh was won by New Zealand as they did a wonderful performance. Strangely performance by Soumya Sarkar , he made 169 runs in 100 strike rate alone, the players who made these runs in the test match we thought that he is a very good player but Soumya Sarkar made 169 runs in ODI in 151 balls, he is an unbelievable player.

These 169 runs by him could not made possible this victory otherwise they couldn't have lost this match even worse, and he also hit 22 fours and 2 sixes. He is a very good player and if he play like that so he takes the place of Shubham Gill in the ranking. However, despite all this, Bangladesh end up on the losing side.

Soumya Sarkar 169 on just 151 balls went useless today. Bangladesh had adequate runs on the board yet they lost the game. Mushfiqur Rahim was the second one after Sarkar to score some runs. Bangladesh could have easily scored 325 runs if rest of batsmen also made some contribution. With this win New Zealand now has also won the series and there won't be much interest left in last game.

It is really unfortunate that the Bangladesh team lost the match despite playing so well. I will not blame the batsmen of the Bangladesh team for losing this match. Bangladesh team players played well enough. Bangladesh team's 291 runs against a strong team like New Zealand is truly amazing. Seeing the 291 runs scored by the Bangladesh team, I thought that the Bangladesh team will win this match very easily against New Zealand. But unfortunately it was not possible due to the weakness of the bowlers of the Bangladesh team. In this match Bangladesh team had enough chance to win. But that opportunity was missed due to the failure of the bowlers of the Bangladesh team.

South Africa Women Vs Bangladesh Women  2nd ODI
In the ICC Women's Championship, the South Africa Women's team won the toss and decided to bowl in the second ODI between Bangladesh Women's team vs South Africa Women's team. Bangladesh Women batted carefully in the power play but lost their first wicket pair for 48 runs in the 13th over. Shamima Sultana was dismissed for 28 runs but Fargana Haque continued the cycle of runs. Fargana Haque completed his second career century by playing a brilliant innings of 102 runs. Also, Fahima Khatun scored 46* runs and Bangladesh Women's team managed to post 222 runs for four wickets. Bangladesh Women won the first ODI by 119 runs. South Africa Women will be batting in the second innings shortly but it will be very interesting to see if South Africa Women can turn around in today's match.

This game coins continued in pitch and in this game, South Africa women won toss and they decided bowl first in pitch. Bangladesh-W team was completed their batting lineup and Bangladesh-W team was scored 222 runs in 50 overs by losing 4 wickets. F.Hoque scored 102 runs in 167 balls and he hitted Eleven 4s, he performed very good effort. F.Khatun scored 46 runs in 48 balls and he hitted three 4s. Now south Africa-W team bowling is started and they performed good and hope they will chase down this 222 runs target. South Africa-W team scored 141 runs in 33 overs and losing 2 wickets. South Africa-W team scored 82 runs in 16.5 overs and I think they will win this game because they have lot of wickets and overs for play.

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.

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.

New Zealand is a very strong team on New Zealand soil and it is not so easy that a team like Bangladesh will beat New Zealand on New Zealand soil. Bangladesh has gone to New Zealand to play many opposition series before and Bangladesh could not do well against New Zealand in any series. Bangladesh have lost two of the first two ODI matches and there is a good chance that Bangladesh will lose the third match. I can already say that 100% result of ODI series will go in favor of New Zealand and 100% T20 result will go in favor of New Zealand.

South Africa Women Vs Bangladesh Women  2nd ODI

Both teams played well in my point of view particularly I will appreciate Fargana Hoque from Bangladesh she made 102 runs. Fahima Khatun also made 46 runs(not out) and in total Bangladesh made 222 runs with the lost of 4 wickets.
South Africa Women team played well too. They chased the target in 45 overs. Anneke Bosch made 65 runs(not out). She is the player of the match too.
By the way in three matches series both teams won 1…1 match and now there is one match left which will be the final and the team which will win the last match will win the series too. So let's see what will happen in the last match.

New Zealand is a very strong team on New Zealand soil and it is not so easy that a team like Bangladesh will beat New Zealand on New Zealand soil. Bangladesh has gone to New Zealand to play many opposition series before and Bangladesh could not do well against New Zealand in any series. Bangladesh have lost two of the first two ODI matches and there is a good chance that Bangladesh will lose the third match. I can already say that 100% result of ODI series will go in favor of New Zealand and 100% T20 result will go in favor of New Zealand.

Bangladesh should be thankful that New Zealand has not done to them what they did during the Kiwi tour of Bangladesh. If they want, New Zealand could have prepared tracks that would give unfair advantage to their pacers. But they have refrained from doing that. And even then, Bangladesh is performing poorly. Honestly, I am not sure what is the future for Bangladesh. They got the test status almost 2.5 decades ago, and even now they perform pathetically whenever they play outside the subcontinent. And once players such as Shakib, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur retire, it will be even worse.

India VS South Africa 

Today is the last match of South Africa vs India ODI series. As both the teams have won one match each, today's match is an important match for both the teams. As the series is tied at 1-1, today's match is going to be the final match. South Africa batting first in the first match could not give the target enough runs. India easily won the first match. In the second match, South Africa turned around with a brilliant performance, and beat India easily. So we expect to see this match full of rivalry today. The team that wins today will win the series. Let's see which team can show great performance and win the series.

But it was the inexperienced duo of William O’Rourke and Jacob Duffy who broke the backbone of Bangladeshi batters. Soumya Sarkar was the lone player who offered resistance. If he had received some support form the other batsmen, then Bangladesh would have easily made a total of 300 or more.

New Zealand batsman played very well but scored only 291 runs and all out in just 49.5 overs. No doubt Soumya Sarkar playing well 169 runs in just 151 balls and Mushfiqur Rahim played a good inning of 45 runs in 57 balls but if these bastmen play fast cricket and set a total of 350 plus runs than they have good chance to win match. New Zealand batters especially Will O'Rourke picked 3 important wicktes by giving 47 runs in 9.5 overs and Jacob Duffy picked 3 Crusial wickets by giving 51 runs and restricted under 300 runs.

If the Bangladesh team could have batted the way they did in the first innings, they might have scored 300 plus runs. Since the players of Bangladesh team have played well, if any other player like Mushfiqur Rahim and Soumya Sarkar can do well then Bangladesh would have won. But the batting performance of all the other players was very weak and poor due to which they could not score 300 plus runs in the match, however both Bangladeshi batsmen played brilliantly. However, the New Zealand team players had a great batting performance due to which they held the wickets and did not lose any wickets. New Zealand team batsmen Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Henry Nicholls, Tom Latham, and Tom Blundell each batsman brought the victory with excellent batting. If the batsmen of Bangladesh had performed well like all these New Zealand batsmen, then Bangladesh would have won the match.

India VS South Africa 

Today is the last match of South Africa vs India ODI series. As both the teams have won one match each, today's match is an important match for both the teams. As the series is tied at 1-1, today's match is going to be the final match. South Africa batting first in the first match could not give the target enough runs. India easily won the first match. In the second match, South Africa turned around with a brilliant performance, and beat India easily. So we expect to see this match full of rivalry today. The team that wins today will win the series. Let's see which team can show great performance and win the series.

This South Africa vs India match is going to be really competitive. As both the teams are currently tied with one match each, if they win the third ODI match in today's match, either of the two teams will definitely win the series. If India can match the impressive performance they did in the first ODI against South Africa today, then it is definitely winnable. And if South Africa can perform as well as batting and bowling in the second match, then they will surely win a wonderful series in their own home ground.

[noormcs5]

An easy win for SA today after they bowled out India at 211. Only two fifties in this match from India side and SA don't have to work hard to chase that small target. In first ODI we saw SA bowled out for just 116 runs and today SA was on top. Both teams are now equally popular for the last game and its not easy to predict who will win the last game.   

India lost the match against South Africa. Ruturaj Gaikwad made just 4 runs in 2 balls and after that, he lost his wicket. He made 4 runs by hitting a four.

Sai Sudharsan played very well, he tried to save the Indian team in this match but the other team of India didn't stand with him. He used 83 balls and he was able to make 62. It is average runs, but at that time, these runs were very good because these runs produced confidence, and in these 62 runs he made 34 runs by using boundaries which in 7 fours and 1 six.

Regarding the final match, i reckon, India will bounce back and win the match and the series. However, nothing can be said with certainty unless we see the match results.

Today every team will want to give their best performance.India did not play well against South Africa in the second ODI as they were bowled out for just 211 runs as South Africa beat India by 7 wickets.
But it seems that India will play well against South Africa in today's match and they will be able to win.This is my thinking.But there is one truth about the game of cricket which is that cricket is a game of glorious uncertainty.The team that plays well on the field will win.

It's good SA won previous game, keeps excitement alive for the last. Hope to see change regarding Tilak Verma, he should be rested, didn't do anything in T20 series or in these ODIS.

If the batsmen of Bangladesh had performed well like all these New Zealand batsmen, then Bangladesh would have won the match.

There are no way to score over 300 runs to win against New Zealand team because the have strong batting order, you know in the last match they got easy win because 7 wickets was reserved in their hand. I will never expect Soumya Sarkar can make another big scored because he isn’t a regular scorer in the team, in BAN team if top order can't good perform then it’s pretty impossible to make a big target like as 300 runs. Liton Das, Tawhid Hridoy and Mushfiqur Rahim if show exceptional performs then we will see an exciting match otherwise it’s really difficult to make such big scored against in the big team.

[Bureau]

It's good SA won previous game, keeps excitement alive for the last. Hope to see change regarding Tilak Verma, he should be rested, didn't do anything in T20 series or in these ODIS.

Who do you think will be his replacement as a wicket-keeper and batter? Sanju Samson did not play well in the last game and I do not want him to be part of the team today. KL can do the keeping and Rajat Patidar should be given a chance same goes for Washington Sundar, they both are part of the team but are on the bench. The final match today is to decide which team will win the series, the chances of RSA winning today are better than the Indian team.

[coinerer]

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 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

Yes not only Shakib Al Hasan but one more cricketer of Bangladesh is already a member of parliament he is Mashrafe Bin Mortaza he was also a very good player of Bangladesh team like this slowly if all the good players join politics then Bangladesh will lag behind in the cricket game it is normal this is Bangladesh cricket  Board and Political Law Issues. Now Bangladesh almost lose most of the matches irrespective of the team they play against.  Such plight of Bangladesh is really destroying the reputation of Bangladesh day by day

Ops really Then the Bangladesh team is cutting politics.  Shakib Al Hasan was one of the best players in the Bangladesh team and he was an all-rounder who should not have joined the Rajinikanth. A lot of Bangladesh cricket team depends on him. He should have paid more attention to the game of cricket and made Bangladesh cricket team stronger by producing more players like him before he retires. Seeing their actions, it seems that the Bangladesh team will become weaker.  Because there is no guarantee how well other players can play

India VS South Africa 

Yes today is the last match between South Africa and India. Both teams has won, 1…1 Match. And today is the last match means the final match of the series. Arshdeep Singh tried well in second match but unfortunately he got only one wicket but in the first match he was excellent in his bowling.
I think if India will take first turn so India will win this match. Or if South Africa will take first turn so they will win this match. Means which team will play first will win the match.

[libert19]

It's good SA won previous game, keeps excitement alive for the last. Hope to see change regarding Tilak Verma, he should be rested, didn't do anything in T20 series or in these ODIS.

The final match today is to decide which team will win the series, the chances of RSA winning today are better than the Indian team.

Sanju Samson have only played one game, that being second, in first he didn't get chance to bat since score was low and early batters finished the job. Tilak verma has been given more chances and has failed, so he should be put on bench and any other should be given chance.

[elevates]

Sanju Samson have only played one game, that being second, in first he didn't get chance to bat since score was low and early batters finished the job. Tilak verma has been given more chances and has failed, so he should be put on bench and any other should be given chance.

Sanju Samson has got lot more opportunity than Tilak Verma in his career, still he's making the same mistake as he did earlier. He won't get such opportunity in the future and if he does not bat well today then it should be considered the end of his career. There are far better batter and WK who are eagerly waiting to get a chance. I agree Tilak Verma should be removed from the playing 11 and someone else should be given a chance today. He has been an utter failure behind the wicket and in front of the wicket, last game he faced 30 balls and scored only 10 runs. No one expect such kind of performance from a newcomer like him.
