The target that was given by the West Indies was definitely not big enough. I'm giving a team like Australia a target of 232 is never going to be enough when you do not have a very explosive bowling lineup. And right now Australia is absolutely finding it easy to chase the target. Right now Australia needs 29 from 100 balls. For a team like Australia that is really easy. And Australia also has eight wickets in hand. So there is no way Australia is losing.

After winning toss a good decision to bowl first helps Australia with they took few early wickets which helps them to bring under pressure West Indies which is having problems in batting after 4 early wickets I was not expecting we will have this figure but both batsmen done good job and having good partnership which bring them to this total which is still not ideal to defend on this pitch.

Australian top order in good touch as all done half centuries during this chase and have no problem to win this match without any problem, currently Australia needs only 11 runs with 15 overs left and both Green and Smith doing regular job to keep strike and hit all around for the another win.

The West Indies team is not performing well in comparison, their performance needs to be longer. Only the West Indies team scored 231 runs but all wickets fell. The Australian team is currently performing very well these seasons and ODIs are usually a game of survival for long periods of wicket keeping. Now Australia team batting performance is very good as they entered the field as opening batsman also performed very well. Now Green and Steven Smith are in the field as a partnership, if these two experienced batsmen can finally perform, then they can surely fulfill the target of 231 runs. Australia need only 65 more runs.

The toss was very important in today's match so Australia won the toss and decided to bowl. Australia managed to capitalize on the early bowling spell, especially as West Indies lost four wickets for 59 runs. Keacy Carty and Roston Chase made a partnership of 110 runs for the fifth wicket. Looking at the fifth wicket I thought the run would cross 250+. Roston Chase was dismissed for 59 and Keacy Carty was dismissed for 88 in the next wicket. Xavier Bartlett bowled brilliantly for Australia with a maiden over taking four wickets for just 17 runs in 9 overs. 231 run was not a fighting score for West Indies against Australia. Although Australia lost Travis Head in the first over to bat, Australia did not come under any pressure. Josh Inglis opened the batting in T20 style, scoring 65 off 43 balls. Green and Smith put on an unbeaten 149 for the third wicket and won by a huge margin of 8 wickets with 69 balls in hand.

We are currently having three matches in progress in ODI World Cup U19 while India is doing good job and have 180 runs after 34 over with the lost of 3 wickets most chances they will again touch 300+ which could be huge for the Nepal Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas both playing good and have fifties with 120 runs partnership.

Second Match where Australia is having some trouble while they are playing against West Indies with 130 runs lost of 5 wickets and things are looking interested because West Indies can fight back for third win and having chances for the last four.

In Third match South Africa is also having some problems while they are facing Sri Lanka with 155 for 6 they need some more runs if they want to have better chance for the last four with things are tense while West Indies is performing better right now.

India U19 vs Nepal U19

In the 33rd match of the 2024 U19 World Cup, the mighty India U19 team will face off against the Nepal U19 team.

Tackling such a small team like Nepal will not be a big problem for team India who already continued his winning streak from start of the tournament. Currently they are in good touch, no doubt thier top order lose quick his important wickets without adding any significant contribution but now things are in thier control and Thier captain a long with Thier middle order batter managing to build more than 100+ partnership now which will put thier team on track toward a big target like above 250 which will be fair target to defend as they have quality bowler too.
Anyway I will be more excited if India and paksitan continue his winning streak and kick out all rest of the team from tournament and we have a grand rivalry final again after long them and believe me this match will be the most viewed match of entire tournament

Australia vs West Indies
[....]

You are right friend, 231 scores defeating target was not very big target when facing squad is Australia squad and Australia is not a weak squad but in top ranking squad in Cricket world. The outcome of this match was Australia squad defeated West Indies squad very badly and emerged victory by 69 deliveries remaining and also 8 batters. In this first ODI match West Indies against Australia squad, West Indies squad was stated this match first batting inning by calling of Australia squad. Beginning of West Indies squad batting inning, both starter batter Justin Greaves and Alick Athanaze did not displayed their actual batting skills both got out at low scores. Next batter displayed very good performance Keacy Carty collected 88 scores off 108 deliveries. Kavem Hodge also collected 59 scores off 67 deliveries which displayed awesome performance. But this defeating target was not big for Australia squad and these three batters Steven Smith, Cameron Green and Josh Inglis were enough for 231 scores defeating target. Congrats Australia squad for 1st win in this ODI match.

We are currently having three matches in progress in ODI World Cup U19 while India is doing good job and have 180 runs after 34 over with the lost of 3 wickets most chances they will again touch 300+ which could be huge for the Nepal Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas both playing good and have fifties with 120 runs partnership.

I feel that out of the three matches today, apart from the India and Nepal matches, the remaining two matches will be fiercely fought. India will still bat 8 overs, their score is 236/3 over 42.3. Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas continue to bat to build a partnership of 174 runs. Hopefully, if these 4th wickets partnership at theirs last for a long time, they will easily score 300+ runs. And even if India scores 300+ or ​​less in this match, I think India will win, besides, India's big line is very strong.

Second Match where Australia is having some trouble while they are playing against West Indies with 130 runs lost of 5 wickets and things are looking interested because West Indies can fight back for third win and having chances for the last four.

Australia lost 5 wickets for 87 runs and is under a lot of pressure. Sam Konstas and Raf MacMillan try to put the team score for the sixth wicket. Australia score 158/5 over 41. Australia will need to bat well in the last nine overs otherwise  West Indies' run chase will be very easy.

In Third match South Africa is also having some problems while they are facing Sri Lanka with 155 for 6 they need some more runs if they want to have better chance for the last four with things are tense while West Indies is performing better right now.

Africa  Batsmen are under a lot of pressure as they get out frequently in Africa's middle order. Anyway South Africa score 182/6 over 42. If Africa want to fight against Sri Lanka, they have to get close to 250 runs.

[MusaPk]

Yes, a target of 232 runs in the ODI format is not enough to win against a strong team like Australia. Today, West Indies' batting line could not do well as a result of which they were all out before the allotted overs. Apart from Roston Chase and Keacy Carty, no other batsman could do better. The bowlers have nothing to do with such a small target.

Anyway, with a target of 132 runs, Australia came down to bat and so far collected 138 runs by taking 2 wickets in 22 overs. Josh Inglis batted in T20 style, getting out for 65 off 43 balls. Australia need just 94 runs to win. They have enough wickets, I think they will win before 35 overs.

This 231 was made possible because of 88 runs inning from Keacy Carty and 59 runs from Roston Chase. See scorecard of West Indies and its totally dominated by Australian bowling. Australians have easily chased target by losing just 2 wickets. There is not much WIndies bowlers can do while they are defending a low target of 232. Aussies were well prepared today and didn't took WIndies bowling for granted as they did in last test.

The West Indies cricket team did not only bowl badly but the batting side was also unpredictable. I think the collapse of the two openers of the West Indies cricket team broke the foundation of the batting of the West Indies cricket team. Due to which the players of the West Indies cricket team had some fear. If the batting of the two opening batsmen of the West Indies cricket team could have strengthened. Then even weak batsmen would get motivation for good batting. However, today's first match defeat against Australia, I am very disappointed. I hope the West Indies cricket team can return to their form in the next match

West Indies team to bat first. Losing two wickets for six runs, West Indies batsman was under a lot of pressure. Keacy Carty worked hard enough to take the team forward from there. But he could not make a good partnership with him and if any batsman could have made a good partnership with him, maybe the West Indies team would have given a bigger target to Australia. Keacy Carty did a great batting with 108 balls 88 Run out. In today's match West Indies team's batting was definitely weak. West Indies team's batsmen should have batted better. To win the match against Australia, Australia must give a big target otherwise they will never win the match against Australia. Australia won by 8 wickets. Congratulations to the Australian team.

It was a long game delayed the 2nd inning by poor weather, Nepal started fine and had a good runrate at the end of 11th over but their downfall started with the first wicket. None of the batsmen made any good effort except for the captain Dev Khanal. There was nothing impressing was presented by the Nepali team except for one of the longest last wicket partnership that led to Nepal batting the whole of 50 overs and not being all out. Nepali team can return home still satisfied, India has been the most impressive team of the whole tournament till date and it was not among the worst defeat from India. Pakistan vs Bangladesh would be one of the deceive match tomorrow.

-snip-

We have nothing special from these matches just Australia vs West Indies stopped due to rain and both teams having one point each which is not going to have problem for any team because Australia is going to stay at the top with South Africa after thrashing win now having second spot and West Indies will keep at the third spot. India done good job and now as expected Nepal is having just formality and huge defeat is waiting for them two centuries by Indian batsmen and now Saumy Pandey is increasing his tally of wickets

Now tomorrow we will have few more games but mostly as usual could be one-sided with just match can create some entertainment which is going to play between Pakistan vs Bangladesh even this is also not going to have any impact on league table.

Congrats Australia squad for 1st win in this ODI match.

Of course, Australia was not going to face any problems winning this match. Australia was able to win the match by 8 wickets and also had 69 balls in hand. This type of target is easy for Australia to chase. Now West Indies will have to win the next match if they want to stay alive in this series. But let alone winning this series, if West Indies can somehow win one match it is going to be an achievement for them in my opinion.

I am curious that why Shamar Joseph is not included in today's ODI. Is he injured or he was not part of ODI squad? No problem faced by Australians today in winning the game. First they bowled out West Indies team for 232 run and they chased it without any hassle. Australians were playing without Cummins but didn't feel his absence as debutant Xavier Colin Bartlett bowled brilliantly and took 4 wickets. There are two more games still to be played after that and West Indies need to improve there performance in upcoming matches to avoid whitewash.

[JunkieMiner]

Australia Team was too good during the First ODI between Australia and West Indies Team. Australia won the first match as they had already reached their target of 232 in just 39tth over and this was their positive victory for starting from the 1st ODI with a win. Mostly when a series between the team starts their is quite a huge impacts of the first ODI on all of the teams. When some team win the first match then their impact towards the other games will also be good.

[hafiztalha]

Today's 1st ODI match of Australia vs West Indies team has already started. West Indies team came out to bat and set a target of 231 runs for the loss of 10 wickets in 48.4 overs. West Indies team batsman Keacy Carty was out with 88 runs off 108 balls. Roston Chase 67 off 59 balls.  Australia bowler Xavier Bartlett took 4 wickets for 17 runs in 9 overs. Abbott took 2 wickets for 42 runs in 9.4 overs. Now Australia team came out to bat. 49 runs lost 1 wicket in 6 overs.  .

In 1 st ODI game, Australia team won toss and they took a opportunity to decide first bat or bowl and Australia team decided field first. West Indies team set 231 runs in 48.4 overs by losing all wickets. K.Carty scored 88 runs in 108 balls with six 4s and two 6s. R.Chase scored 59 runs in 67 balls with seven 4s. Their effort in batting was very brilliant but opponent Australia team was more powerful than West Indies team. Australia team easily chase down this all target in 38.3 overs by losing two wickets. X.Bartlett bowler took down 4 wickets in 9 overs with 17 runs also this player got a player of game award.

[JahriMeayer]

South Africa U19 won by 119 runs against Sri Lanka U19 today. SL won the toss and they decided RSA to go for batting first. Opening batsman Pretorius(71) started batting and leaded his team brilliantly . Steve Stolk(22) also tried his best for made some runs and Riley Norton(41) played extra ordinary from his place cause he managed to score decent runs as well as got 4wickts too. Although Kwena Maphaka hunted 6wickets behalf of team RSA which was highest. SL team start up was poor, they lost too many wickets in early stage. Mid orders players made some runs and bolwers also out with less runs. They can't even play the half of total over and loss the match with huge runs difference

[SATWAT]

Of course, Australia was not going to face any problems winning this match. Australia was able to win the match by 8 wickets and also had 69 balls in hand. This type of target is easy for Australia to chase. Now West Indies will have to win the next match if they want to stay alive in this series.

Australians were playing without Cummins but didn't feel his absence as debutant Xavier Colin Bartlett bowled brilliantly and took 4 wickets. There are two more games still to be played after that and West Indies need to improve there performance in upcoming matches to avoid whitewash.

Shamar Joseph is already back to West Indies as he is not fully fit due to his toe injury which happen due to sharp Yorker by Mitchel Starc with most chances he will be available for the PSL 2024 which is going to play after few weeks until then he is going to stay in West Indies due to his injury with he is also part of the ILT20 which is currently playing in the UAE as he was going to join Dubai Capitals but now due to injury he is not available with nothing official coming about his injury progress from WICB which is also happy and already announces about his international contract with them.
Now we have to wait about his availability in PSL 2024 as well because it's start of his career he doesn't need to rush about anything just wait and after fully recovery then join any league otherwise things can create more problems for fast young bowler like him.

[Justin999]

In India U19 vs Nepal U19 Match, India U19 won by 132 runs and this is huge runs. India went to bat first but things weren't happen as expected. Top batsman can't do well and leave the Field but after 4th and 5th player come to bat, they made the match more exciting to audience. Both of team Sachin Dhas and Uday Saharan hit century which was mind blowing and they were enough for india to score 297 which was pretty good amount as target. And then nepal came to bat. They hold the wickets but couldn't score runs. That was the problem. Their strike rate was too low and mid orders players out with a few runs like 0,1,5. I think indian bolwers were too good to bowl and Saumy Pandey got 4 wickets. I think due to good bowling, india able to won with Nepal with huge run. Although india's batting was also good
