ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[noormcs5]

As you know, in the last post, we knew about New Zealand, and in this post, we will know about India. India is also a team that has the same conditions as New Zealand.

This is the last part and come to the Pakistan cricket team. In 2015, Ahmed Shehzad dropped the catch and we went out for the World Cup then in 2019 they lost against New Zealand which be caused them out from World Cup, and then in 2021 when the Pakistan team's peak time was started so on that time, Australia broke it on semi-final where Hassan Ali dropped a catch of Mattew Wade and then he finished the game by hitting a scope shot.

Then Pakistan's team lost the match by India when the umpire is not good and they did wrong no ball. After that, Pakistan by chance qualified for the semi-final and won it, then they played the final with England and Pakistan almost won it but Shaheen 2 overs left and at that time, he had a foot injury and Pakistan lost that match again, and on 2023 the last wicket of South Africa is on and Haris Rauf is on bowling, the match is playing in Chennai and Rauf did LBW and all team was out but the umpire didn't give it and Pakistan didn't have a review but after some balls, they told that it was out but Pakistan lose it, and out from World Cup.

Sri Lanka team and Afghanistan team match match today I am betting in favor of Sri Lanka team. I am worried about which team will win today's match. Sri Lanka team is batting now. 152 runs in 23.4 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka scored 41 runs in 61 balls.  .Avishka Fernando scored 73 runs off 67 balls.Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando two batsmen started batting well.

Sri Lanka team effort in this 1 st game was brilliant in batting lineup and they set 381 runs target which was very big target in 50 overs by losing 3 wickets only. P.Nissanka batsman of Sri Lanka team struggle was very commendable and with not dismissed P.Nissanka scored total 210 runs in 139 balls with twenty 4s and eight 6s. Now the game was overs and P.Nissanka also got a player of game award due batting effort. A.Fernando  also played well and scored 88 runs in 88 balls with eight 4s and three 6s. Afghanistan team effort was also good but target was very big and Afghanistan team failed to chase down this big target and Lost this game by 42 runs. A.Omarzai also got a century and total made 149 runs in 125 balls and M Nabi also played well and he scored 136 runs with fifteen 4s and  three 6s in 130 balls.

Sri Lanka has set a huge target. It is very difficult for any big team to win this target. I have yet to see a match where a team has scored more than 382 runs in the second innings. However, even then Afghanistan players batted very well. Had Afghanistan's top order played well, they might have won. Afghanistan team lost wickets very quickly.
Afghanistan lost 5 of their batsmen to collect only 55 runs. I thought Afghanistan would probably lose by more than 200 in today's match. But due to the responsible batting of Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi, Afghanistan managed to collect 339 runs after 50 overs. Afghanistan was defeated by just 42 runs. Omarzai remained unbeaten with 149 runs.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Nissanka : Wow! A double centurion from Sri Lanka after what feels like an eternity. What a knock! Afghanistan bowling keeps going down the drain recently. Nabi is playing a gem of an innings both with the bat and ball.

On the other hand, Omarzai is supporting him very nicely. I still feel that Afghanistan will come slightly close and lose. Great fightback!

AFG came very close to the Target and I see it is a positive sign for the future of Afghanistan because they have been continuously evolving in the recent past years and I believe they can be a good team before the next WC cycle.

Absolute run feast and over 700 runs scored in both the innings which we don't see very often. And 200 looks easy than previous era but still 200 is 200 and Nisanka will be a very happy man to be one among the very few players in that double ton list.

It was beyond my imagination that a team could collect 339 runs after losing 5 wickets for 55 runs. After a long time we saw great batting from both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. If Kushal Mendis had not batted at a strike rate of just 51, then Sri Lanka could have given a target of 400+ today, Mendis collected only 16 runs from 31 balls.

Azmatullah Omarzai remained unbeaten till the end of the innings. Omarzai was unbeaten with 149 runs. I would have been happy if Omarzai could have collected 150+. However, despite losing the first match, Afghanistan still has a chance to win the series. Looking forward to see how Afghanistan performs in the next two matches.

Conditions also matter. SENA conditions ideally suit Australia. While talking about the senior side, India has world class pacers such as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who neutralize any such advantage. But the U19 squad doesn't have any such edge. India's bowling attack is dominated by spinners, with Saumy Pandey being the top wicket taker in this tournament for them. On the other hand, for Australia Callum Vidler and Tom Straker have been exceptional and both of them are pace bowlers. It is going to be a tough challenge for the Indian batsmen. 

The Indian team was strong now and the pacer like Jasprit Bumrah who becomes the bowler who achieved the first place in all the format now.Because he was top 1 in ODI and T20 format before,with the current match they made the World record of the bowler first in all the three format.So this says the rest of the story,because he had a capacity to change the match at anytime.Mohammed Shami was the top order bowler who played the huge role in the World Cup 2023,This was the reason for the good bowling site from the team India now as compared to the team Australia.Most awaited U19 World Cup also with the team India and Australia.Most probably team India will win this Cup.

Sri Lankans have a record opening partnership of 182 runs that helped them in making 381 runs. Afghanistan lost 5 quick wickets but then there is 242 runs partnership between Azmatullah Omarzai and Muhammad Nabi. Azmatullah Omarzai remain unbeaten on 149 runs that included 6 sixes. Two more matches  still to be played and seeing the performance of Afghanistan in today's game SL must not take them lightly in next matches.

Pathum Nissanka (201*) alone managed to take Sri Lanka's score up to 381 runs. Afghanistan performed relatively well in today's match especially when 5 wickets fall at 55 runs it is eventually  for anyone to guess how a team will perform later but I see Afghanistan's partnership of 242 runs and defeat by just 42 runs to Afghanistan's credit. Here Mohammed Nabi (136) and Azmatullha Omarzai (149) definitely deserve credit for performing so well in the face of adversity.

Usually, this statement is true at the senior level and no one can deny this but I am not sure if it's applicable at the u-19 level as well because India has won twice in finals against Australia in SENA countries.

Both teams are high in confidence because of tight wins in the semis and i hope, no one will back down in the finals so it's 50-50 for me.

I am not agreed about this all as conditions are favourable to Australia as we are in SENA countries because India already beats South Africa and their batting is one of the best which is performing consistently, and their bowlers are also giving them good advantage which is helping to secure this spot and Australia is surely having advantage into bowling, but their batting is not good with in last game against Pakistan while they were chasing just 179 lost 9 wickets which is surely not good even they won and have now final but for me this is going to be good match but with India is going to have another title under their belt.

Tom Straker and Callum Vdler both are good and having good performance, but now they are going to face quality batting which is coming here with all good wins against their opponents.

[Mahdirakib]

Nissanka : Wow! A double centurion from Sri Lanka after what feels like an eternity. What a knock! Afghanistan bowling keeps going down the drain recently. Nabi is playing a gem of an innings both with the bat and ball.

Maybe we shouldn't blame the bowlers today, 720 runs have been scored today by the two teams in 100 overs. There was a collapse in the batting lineup of Afghanistan at the start, but they had made a great comeback. From 55/5 to 339/6 is an epic innings when a team is trying to chase the big target. It wasn't enough for the victory though.

To be honest Afghani are quite well but they have problem with other format rather than T20, they will threaten more and more heavy side and can smashed them but when it come to different format they collapse and lose their confident which definitely effect thier performance. Anyway your bet were right sirilankan side won after phenomenal opening partnership and magnificent single innings of 210 runs of nissanka set momentum for his team which Carrey on by rest of player and scored a decent target. While when it come to chased time for Afghanistan they lose their first wicket too quick as a result they got pressurized and hus lose 3 to 4 more quick wickets. While at last all-round omerzai and Nabi try hard but unable to divert things toward them and lose an important match.

[Unknown Op]

Afghanistan won the toss and invited Sri Lanka to bat in the first match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan today. In my opinion, it would have been better if the Afghanistan team had batted first in today's first match. We have seen the test match between these two teams where Sri Lanka team performed much better than Afghanistan team and won the match. Now it is waiting to see how well Afghanistan team players can prove themselves as good players in ODI. As today's first match has just started, the course of the game cannot be determined yet. The bowlers of the Afghanistan team have bowled 6.5 overs so far. But in between, the Afghanistan team has not yet shown a strong example of their bowling. Now let's see how well the Afghanistan team can bowl in today's ODI.

On ODI side, Afghanistan tour to Sri Lanka competition was begun today and in this match Sri Lanka squad was begun this match firstly batting Inning by calling of Afghanistan squad. In first match of this ODI competition, Afghanistan squad was lost this match from Sri Lanka squad. Afghanistan squad was not much stronger sqaud in Cricket sport they previously lost many competitions with other sqaud. Afghanistan squad need to improve their batting and bowling innings and some changing in bowling style. Afghanistan squad want to get victory in next remaining matches then they do something and improvement in some major mistakes they can do again and again. Let's come back in today match, Starter batter of Sri Lanka squad was displayed their intense performance Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando. Avishka Fernando Batter achieved 88 scores and Pathum Nissanka batter collected 210 scores.

[cozytrade]

The final match of the ODI series between South Africa and Australia has started. Today's match is expected to be a very exciting one. Because in the previous two matches, both teams have won one match each. Today's match is equal for both teams. The team that can perform well in this match will win the series today. In today's match Australia team won the toss and started batting first. Opening the batting, Australia's two openers are trying to settle into the batting and have collected 16 runs so far in 4.5 overs. I bet for South Africa in today's match. Hope I can win today's match bet. Now let's see what happens in the last stage

[libert19]

I said they were a bit lucky because of the slow over rate they had to bring the fielder up in the circle as they were penalized, and Macmillian utilized that opportunity to hit the winning 4 to the boundary.

MacMilllan didn't utilize anything, it was pure luck, ball took an edge and went for a boundary, it was not intentional shot that you could say he utilized the field.

When fine leg was brought up in the circle, commentator said, is it a good thing in this situation? Because with tailenders, fours usually go through fine leg or third man, yes they were penalized and were forced to bring one player inside but I'd say it was amateurish decision from Pakistan's side that they brought fine leg inside the circle.

You can say that too, it is just another way to put forward his intent to win.

I disagree and I repeat, It was accidental edge that's why it went for four at fine leg, how can you say he utilized the opportunity of Pakistan having no fielder at fine leg when MacMilllan had no intention to play there in first place? Without the edge, it was likely a dot ball or at most a single if it didn't went directly to fielder, certainly wouldn't have went for four as it appeared to be a soft handed hit.

You can watch highlights on Hotstar to fact check.

Sri Lanka team is batting now. 152 runs in 23.4 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka scored 41 runs in 61 balls.  .Avishka Fernando scored 73 runs off 67 balls.Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando two batsmen started batting well.

Yesterday we witnessed an incredible match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.It can be said without a doubt that yesterday's match was a battle between tigers and lions.Sri Lanka batting first, their team batsmen have done an outstanding performance especially their opening pair has batted very well. Pathum Nishanka played his career best innings yesterday with a brilliant innings of 210.Similarly, his other teammate Avishka Fernando also batted exceptionally well, he got out by scoring 88 runs. Afghanistan were unable to get off to a good batting start under pressure as Sri Lanka scored too many runs which resulted in their first wicket falling in the fifth over.But one thing must be said is that Afghanistan's sixth wicket was very good with Mohammad Nabi scoring a century and Azmatullah scoring a century.

Canada seems to be suffering from yet another batting collapse in the second ODI against Nepal. They were 94/0, and then 179/2 in 31 overs. Now they are at 227/7. Instead of 300-320 that was projected a few overs back, they will end up with a sub-par total of 240-250 at the most. And impressed with Nepal so far. I thought that the entire team would collapse due to the absence of Sandeep Lamichhane. But young bowlers such as Kushal Malla, Surya Tamang and Rohit Paudel have taken over the burden. Lalit Rajbanshi is also absent for this match, and he was one of the most experienced bowlers for Nepal.

Hope I can win today's match bet. Now let's see what happens in the last stage

The match between South Africa Women and Australia Women team already started and at this time Australia is playing its turn and playing well the have made 272 runs in 49 overs and they are playing the last over. They lost 8 wickets. I hope they will make 280+ runs. And this target will be a goor target. And this is the final match so this match is important. Which team will win they also win the series too. So let's see which team will win.

Lalit Rajbanshi is also absent for this match, and he was one of the most experienced bowlers for Nepal.

Canada played really well. They have played their inning at this time. They have made 285 runs in 50 overs. They lost 9 wickets. Nepal team is little bit strong as compare to Canada team. Nepal team already won the first match. In the last match Nepal made only 224 runs. So this is is really hard to predict that which team will win the match. If we see the stats of the last match so this is showing that today match target is good.
While typing Nepal has started their inning and have made 12 runs in 1.3 overs.

[Haunebu]

Maybe we shouldn't blame the bowlers today, 720 runs have been scored today by the two teams in 100 overs. There was a collapse in the batting lineup of Afghanistan at the start, but they had made a great comeback. From 55/5 to 339/6 is an epic innings when a team is trying to chase the big target. It wasn't enough for the victory though.

I guess I was being a bit too hard on their bowlers considering the fact that this was a batting track as you mentioned. Nissanka, Nabi and Omarzai stood out among all players in this particular match.

I knew Afghanistan wouldn't be able to chase down such a big target, but it was a valiant effort as I mentioned in my previous post. Great match overall!

While typing Nepal has started their inning and have made 12 runs in 1.3 overs.

This time Canadian team batting first against Nepal. Canada's team made 285 while they lost 9 wickets and they made it all in 50 overs. In this inning, Aaron Johnson made too high runs from his team and these runs helped for Canada to reach the target, he made 65 runs, and he also used balls 62 but he also didn't waste balls like Navneet Dhaliwal.

The other team didn't waste the ball but they weren't able to make runs and after doing a lot of struggling they were able to make 285 runs. Let's see if can Nepal complete this target or not, and I think that today is not a day for Nepal because in the previous match when Nepal gave the target so on that time, they couldn't cross 250.

[noormcs5]

Sri Lanka has set a huge target. It is very difficult for any big team to win this target. I have yet to see a match where a team has scored more than 382 runs in the second innings. However, even then Afghanistan players batted very well. Had Afghanistan's top order played well, they might have won. Afghanistan team lost wickets very quickly.
Afghanistan lost 5 of their batsmen to collect only 55 runs. I thought Afghanistan would probably lose by more than 200 in today's match. But due to the responsible batting of Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi, Afghanistan managed to collect 339 runs after 50 overs. Afghanistan was defeated by just 42 runs. Omarzai remained unbeaten with 149 runs.

Unbelievable!
The Sri Lankan team won yesterday's match with Miracle. Pathum Nissanka made 200 in the ODI, and he made it in just 139 balls. He is a new Gleen Maxwell, Maxwell made 201 in 129 balls while he made 210 on 139 balls, and it is also like a Maxwell, by the way, he can make more runs because he was not out but the inning was finished, maybe we will see 250 by him in yesterday's match. If it was a test match so we would see his 250 maybe but 210 is also very good, and not only in batting, he played excellently in bowling.

The pitch was batting friendly that's why we saw 339 runs also being made by the Afghanistan team and we see total of 700+ runs in this ODI which is something extraordinary. We should also appreciate Azmatullah Omarzai who made 149 runs and Mohammad Nabi who made 136 runs. Some awesome batting performances by the both teams.
