Bangladesh team is performing worse than before. Bangladesh team has good batsmen and bowling, after that Bangladesh team cannot perform well

The performance of Bangladesh women's team is fairly good but Bangladesh women's team did not perform so well in the third ODI against South Africa women. If Bangladesh women team could have bowled well against South Africa women team then maybe the result of the match could have been different. Because South Africa women's team gave a target of 317 runs to Bangladesh women's team. Maybe the Bangladesh women's team could not take so much pressure on the target of 317 runs and the batsmen could not bat very well. Of course, best wishes to the Bangladesh women's team so that they can perform better in the future.

Tour match was finished now and UAE batting inning also ended now, at the end of their batting inning, UAE squad scored only 105 scores and UAE squad played almost 30.4 overs and all squad got out from crease. Afghanistan squad was not  made good scores but their bowling inning was wonderful and they break down all batters of UAE squad when 109 scores were remained for defend. Only this Dhruv Parashar  batter played good inning and he collected 38 scores off 61 deliveries.

This result was expected because Afghanistan team is much stronger then UAE. Yamin Ahmadzai took five wickets along with Bilal Sami who took two early wickets. Interestingly UAE were 66 for 9 in 19 overs and they finished there innings at 105. The last batting pair has highest partnership of UAE innings scoring 39 runs. Only two UAE batsmen were able to make it to double figures. Not much impressive batting from UAE today though they bowled well.

In first game, UAE won the toss and first decided bowling. Afghanistan batsman makes 17 run in 3 over and 1 out. Afghanistan batsman could not worked hard and struggle. Afghanistan batsman makes 42 run in 7 over and 1 out. UAE bowler out the Afghanistan batsman in the last ball of the 8 over. This is the second achievement for UAE team. Afghanistan batsman makes 61 run in 10 over and 2 outs. Afghanistan batsman could not make run. Afghanistan batsman makes 115 run in 20 over and 2 outs. Afghanistan batsman makes 214 run in 48 over and 10 outs. This is the target for UAE team.

Afghanistan won this match by 109 runs against UAE. Afghanistan batting first and scored 214 runs all out in first inning of match.While chasing down UAE scored 105 runs all out in just 30.4 overs. Dhruv Parashar batting well scored 38 runs unbeaten in just 61 balls. The bowling performance of Afghanistan team in this match very amazing and especially the batting performance of Yamin Ahmadzai is outstanding picked 5 important wicktes by giving 22 runs in 6.4 overs.

After Afghanistan set a target of just 215 runs, I thought the match was going to be competitive. 215 runs is not really a big target. But the match was not competitive. Afghanistan players dominated the match. We saw very bad batting by UAE players today.

None of the first 6 batsmen of the top order of the UAE squad could collect even 10 runs. The first 6 batsmen collected only 19 runs. Parashar's unbeaten 38 and Jawadullah's 24 helped the team score 100+ runs. Otherwise UAE would have lost all the wickets before 50. Yamin Ahmedzai picked up 5 wickets for just 22 runs. Bilal Sami also picked up two important top-order wickets.

[virasog]

The tour match was started from a long time and at this time, we cannot say which team will win but maybe I think that the Afghanistan team will win because UAE's batting is not like something to worry about and they cannot face the bowlers of Afghanistan like Abdul Rahman and many more, Rashid Khan and Fazal al Farooqi and Naveen Ul Haq didn't play this match. In this match, they gave a chance to youngsters to perform a particular performance.
Hashmatullah Shahidi is the captain of the team, and by the way, this is the only match that plays at Christmas.

Afghanistan last batting pair is on the crease. After 47 overs they have scored 214 runs and I think UAE has done a good job to restrict Afghans to such a low total. UAE team is made up of players from South Asia and they have tendency to chase such a small target. Though UAE recently finished second in U-19 Asia cup, it wont make any difference to there domestic setup as there is no interest of cricket in locals and there cricket team is entirely made up of expats.

Riaz Hassan made 13 runs in 12 balls. Mohammad Ishaq made 22 runs in 21 balls. Rahmat Shah made 38 runs in 54 balls. Bahir Shah made 44 runs and he used 64 balls.

The captain of Afghanistan Hashmatullah Shahidi made nine runs in eight balls. Darwish Rasooli made 3 runs in 10 balls. Gulbadin Naib made 42 runs in 51 balls. Sharafuddin Ashraf made 24 runs in 48 balls. Azmatullah Omarzai made 2 runs in 4 balls. Abdul Rahman is not out but all the teams have been out, and he made 2 runs in 6 balls. Zia-ur-Rehman  made 2 runs in 6 balls.

The bowling performance of Afghanistan team in this match very amazing and especially the batting performance of Yamin Ahmadzai is outstanding picked 5 important wicktes by giving 22 runs in 6.4 overs.

Afghanistan is definitely better team of these two and in this match UAE will be defeated that is pre calculated. Because they have already performed well in big events like the World Cup. On the other hand, the UAE could not advance much in terms of experience. They don't have much experience playing in any big event, even with big teams. As a result, I think the rate is normal. Although when Afghanistan first batted it looked like they might lose but when UAE started batting it looked like 214 runs were too much. From Yamin Ahmadzai bowling UAE lost 5 of their wickets and UAE lost the match. UAE lost all their wickets in just 30.4 overs.

UAE is not played enough international games to beat Afghanistan who beat Pakistan, Netherland,Srilanka and England. They were very close to won against Australia also if Maxwell doesn't help team to win the match. UAE is still new team but I think the match should not be one sided because UAE have some advantages with home pitches. Afghanistan is really going to strong every day. Rahmat shah is my favorite player. He is very experienced and using different different techniques. He fits for all format of cricket. UAE should show some effort in the next upcoming matches.

I actually also personally think that Afghanistan is going to win. Of course, Afghanistan is far better compared to the UAE. So it is probably better to actually not hope for too much from the UAE against Afghanistan. And of course that was definitely true. Even though Afghanistan has a lot of problems going on for them, they are still a very talented cricketing side. So there is no reason to believe that they are actually going to lose against the UAE.

Afghanistan makes far better than many teams in the less time even it was a new time that was playing with the teams like India, Pakistan, Australia, England and then they played many series with these teams. Making their bowling attack quite nice and then they started their batting attack to be on the better place. They have players like Rashid Khan and also Shehzad their keeper which is a good opener.

UAE is associate country but still they are having too many matches with just because of UAE influence in ICC, but this is not good as they are having no native players and their grass root sporting system is also not ideal for this game which is having not good chance of improved quality and performance with Afghanistan is surely one of the best rising teams in Asia and World with their few quality spinners and few good batsmen even they are also not able to play at home but still doing good development, and we can have good future of this game in this country their recent performance in World Cup is also impressive which is indicating things will be on positive side for the development.

Afghanistan 2023 ODI World Cup has been the biggest surprise as they have defeated two tough opponents like England and Pakistan. Moreover, Afghanistan's top order batsmen performed well as usual and lower order batsmen especially Rashid khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman could bowl well as well as bat fairly well. That's why Afghanistan's score is much higher than other teams. Moreover, most of the players of Afghanistan participate in Big Bash, IPL, PSL, Carribbean League, County League at various times. That's why they have some kind of experience working inside their batting and bowling which makes Afghanistan perform like an experienced team.

op i agree with you because 2023 world cup afghanistan performed great. Every player of Afghanistan has performed brilliantly in the 2023 World Cup as if the whole world has seen a new Afghanistan. Rashid Khan's team won the hearts of thousands of cricket fans in that match against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup in Afghanistan. The 2023 World Cup continued with Rashid Khan's team's excellent performance in that match. Bangladesh and England have batted very badly in the 2023 World Cup and on the other hand teams like Afghanistan have performed very well. I believe this Afghanistan will go far in the future.

There are more deserving associate nations out there, such as Nepal, Netherlands and Namibia. But it is the United Arab Emirates who always get matches against the full member nations, because of their fat pockets and dominance in the ICC. And even then, no one comes to watch their matches. Even their own players are not interested in the cricket team because all of them are citizens of either India or Pakistan and their moral support is for these teams. In the end, no one cares about these matches, and they are just for the record.

Yes you are right. They played well in the ICC World Cup. They was just near to the Semifinal Qualification. But Australia defeated them. Especially I remember the Maxwell batting.
By the way I was expecting that the Afghanistan will perform well. But they didn't make a higher target. I was expecting that they will make 250+ runs but they didn't do that. But their bowling was quite well. They restricted the United Arab Emirates team below 110 runs. They have one more tour match and I hope Afghanistan will win that match too. After that they will play T20 series. They will play 3 matches. And I hope Afghanistan will the series. So let's see.

Afghanistan currently is the best team among the associate nations and are presenting well in world stage. Provided we have a few more challenging teams, the very rule for the elite teams in cricket would be challenged. The problem with afghanistan is there's future is troublesome. With the national level ban on women cricket in Afghanistan, there has been rising pressure to ban the mens team as well. And even if they are not outright banned, they'll get less exposure and considering the economic situation, creating new talents would not get a priority.

WTF man? Afghanistan is not an associate nation. They got full member status back in 2019 and their funding from ICC also went up by 20x. Obviously the ICC bent rules for Afghanistan. The rules state that any full member nation needs to have a functional women's domestic setup. On the other hand, Afghanistan doesn't even have a women's national team. And a number of cricket boards, including CA and ECB objected to the reclassification because of this. But then, BCCI was in support of Afghanistan and that enabled the ICC to push ahead.

I have to agree with this all but now as we are heading for the professionalism in this game and franchise specially these Arabs are investing look like moral or dignity could be stayed in only books and no one will care about this all because money is going to change things, and surely we are going to this way with no one can stop this all as we all know checking how SPL is changing the way in soccer even they are currently able to bring old players but still their money is creating changes, and they are doing this all, so things like these will happen in cricket as well.

ICC is just a puppet organization which is having no worth and weak boards will also not able to survive just few strong enough boards will be survived and able to compete with this, all others have to be gone down and stay in dark age if ICC not able to bring any solid policy for this all.

This was bound to happen at some point. At present, Indian market is contributing to around 80% of the media rights revenue for the ICC. And countries such as United Arab Emirates are important, because it is where a lot of illicit money from India flows into. Considerable number of Indians, from all political ideologies have secret bank accounts and other assets in the UAE. On top of that, the headquarters of ICC is also located in that country. And this is the reason why UAE has become the blue eyed boys of the ICC, and a lower priority is given to teams with native players.

That is also a reason why the problem of playing a lot of foreign players is never going to be fixed because a lot of teams that are very close to the ICC and also bring the ICC a good amount of money have a lot of players that are foreigners.  They are basically playing whoever they want. Maybe at first they thought it would be actually an expansion of the game. But now we can see that it is not working. But even though it is not working ICC is actually not going to do anything because as you said those teams are actually the ‘blue eyed man’.

Exactly. Current eligibility laws for international cricket are ridiculous and exists in no other sport. As of now, it is possible to create a "national" team from 11 foreign players. And right now, almost two-thirds of all the member nations of ICC have "national" teams entirely comprised of foreigners. And this stupid eligibility rules were tailor made to help teams like the United Arab Emirates. If only natives are allowed to participate in international matches, then the GCC nations such as UAE and Oman will not have a national team.
