ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

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

Bro, the match is between South Africa and Australia women team. It would be easier for everyone to understand if it is mentioned.

Australia women's batsmen batted very well today. They managed to set a target of 278 runs. And that's a big enough target. We haven't seen such a big score in the last two matches in this series. In the first match, South Africa women's team mustered only 105 runs. And so the possibility that South Africa will win today's match by collecting 278 runs is very low.
The match is now being delayed due to rain. After 14 overs, South Africa managed to collect only 63 runs and they lost 4 wickets. South Africa will not win. However, the match is likely to be abandoned.

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.

I think more than Srilanka we should praise the Afghanistan team as they tried to chase the big target. They lost by a small margin and that means Srilanka would face some fierce competition in the next game. Nissanka became the only batter from Srilanka who became the first to score 200 runs in ODI. It was only because of his double century that Srilanka had put on 350 plus runs on the scoreboard. The rest is now history and many records were made because of this game.

South Africa women's team was defeated by a big margin of 110 runs. The match was delayed due to rain. South Africa needed 238 runs to win in 31 overs in DLS method. But the South African batsmen batted very badly. In 24.3 overs, South Africa women's team mustered only 127 runs. Tazmin Brits scored 31 runs and Luss scored 34 runs. Also, no other batsman batted well.
Kim Grath and McGrath picked up 3 wickets. And Alana King took 4 wickets. Kim Grath conceded just 14 runs in 5.3 overs. Australian bowlers bowled very controlled way.

[JSRAW]

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. Pakistan team was good with thier bowling attack, throughout the tournament they dominated. The problem with Pakistan was that they were dependent in the batting performance of thier openers. That back fired them big time as they waisted so many balls. If they had a 200 runs on the scoreboard they would have won yesterday and we would have been waiting for Sunday to watch the finals.

Inside edges are considered risky affairs because such edges come when batters have no idea about the delivery, there is no such thing as a good inside edge shot.

Sometimes it crashes onto the timber and when the batter is lucky it goes to boundaries and the latter happened in the Semis so in that case libert is not wrong. It was just pure bad luck or blame Pak's slow over rate which resulted in an extra fielder inside the 30-yard circle.

Tomorrow's match will undoubtedly be a memorable match for Afghanistan if they won the match tomorrow. A mammoth 242 for the sixth wicket pair reduced Afghanistan's margin of defeat after Afghanistan fell 5 for 55 in yesterday's match. If Pathum Nissanka had not played the innings of 210 runs in yesterday's match, it was doubtful whether Sri Lanka would have collected 300 runs. But Afghanistan's collection was undoubtedly worthy of praise, and especially Afghanistan's 339 at the crunch time.

This is a great achievement for the Australia women team. That they have won the match by a huge margin and also won the ODI series.  Their bowler has worked and struggled the most.  And with his hard work and struggle he stopped the runs and got the wickets and won the match and won the victory.The South African bowler also toiled and struggled and ended up with 9 wickets and a target of 277.  But they could not fulfill and will lose the match.And lost the series.My congratulations to Australia for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.South Africa needs more hard work and struggle.  Improve your team performance.

I am a little disappointed to be honest. This was the decided of the series and South African women should have done better in this match. Now I understand that Australian women had given a big total for South Africa and Australia women had played really well in the first innings. But South African women were literally unable to do anything in the second half of the match. They could do better in my opinion.  They were unable to form any kind of serious partnership, and that's why they have failed so terribly.

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.

Again Nepal won the match by Canada. The team of Canada plays no matter how much good but at the end of the day, the Nepal team won this match, and by the way, these matches are also played in Nepal, but in these matches, no one wants to come even their own country didn't want to become audience. Nepal had an interest in some Football and volleyball while Canada is famous for Soccer, Ice Hockey, and basketball but not in cricket. Anyway, let's back to the topic, Although Canada lost the match again while they played, their luck was not with them.

Canada scored 285 runs and they must have fancy their chances by Nepal batting was way to good. They chased the target in 45/1 overs thus making it a one sided chase in the end. Anyways, Canada should be feeling proud of their batting and hope to do well in bowling too in the next matches.

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.

On that day, Pakistan U19 team was unlucky because despite hundred attempts, the last wicket failed to fall. The ball that went EDGE to fine leg for four could have hit the wicket directly, which happened to Bangladesh in the previous match. Moreover, on the day of the second semi-final, nine wickets fell at regular intervals from one to nine of the Australia U19 team, but the last wicket ensured the final for Australia. There is nothing to say, but I will give importance to the fortunes of the Australia U19 team and the misfortunes of the Pakistan team.

South Africa women's team was defeated by a big margin of 110 runs. The match was delayed due to rain. South Africa needed 238 runs to win in 31 overs in DLS method. But the South African batsmen batted very badly. In 24.3 overs, South Africa women's team mustered only 127 runs. Tazmin Brits scored 31 runs and Luss scored 34 runs.

At last this match was finished now and today was the final match of this competition in between Australia women squad against South Africa women sqaud. Both these squads already fought two match previously in this competition and both emerged victory in each match and tied this competition but today match, Australia women squad emerged victory and defeated South Africa women squad very badly with huge difference of scores. Total Australia women squad collected 277 scores after playing 50 overs with lost of 9 batter wickets which seem that this defeating target was very challenging and big one. But Australian Women bowler performance was much reliable and they fastly picked wickets of South Africa women squad batter like Laura Wolvaardt was wiped out at 3 scores, Anneke Bosch collected only 4 scores, Masabata Klaas, Sinalo Jafta and Marizanne Kapp these batter was out at 0 score, Ayanda Hlubi batter was cleared out from crease at 4 scores. Every single batter from South Africa women squad side displayed worst performance and just defeat 127 scores and finished this match.

There is nothing to say, but I will give importance to the fortunes of the Australia U19 team and the misfortunes of the Pakistan team.

That is not history, Pakistan Under 19 didn't play all that well in the Semi finals and therefore they were out of it. On the other hand, the Australia Under 19 team performed brilliantly and they deserved to be in the finals. The way the Australian team bowled and restricted Pakistan batsmen was remarkable. No other thoughts from my side on this.

Tomorrow is the match of India vs Australia, and if you know about the World Cup 2023 final match so you remember that At first, Australia's condition was not good, and even a time we thought that Australia would be out of the World Cup but they won World Cup, and at this time again in the early Australia performance was not good if you remember so you know that in the first match of Australia against Namibia was almost lost and by chance, they made 92 runs and win against Namibia with struggle and India also won their all matches on World Cup, and in this Under 19 World Cup so let's see will history repeat.

The reason Pakistan-U19 lost the game is there batting, they bowled brilliantly and that's why game was decided in very last over of the game. Aussies lost 9 wickets while chasing the small target, that tells us how good Pakistani bowling was in yesterday game. Pakistan team was 20 to 30 runs of short of wht could be a winning target in semi final. Pakistan-U19 lost 5 wickets for just 79 runs in 28 overs, not a responsible batting in such a crucial game.

The match swung wildly at different stages. Australia were initially ahead in the chase until 15-year old pacer Ali Raza removed Tom Straker and Mahli Beardman in the same over. They were 164/7 and then ended at 164/9. At this point, they needed another 16 runs to win, with Raf MacMillan and no.11 batsman Callum Vidler at crease. Vidler did a great job by saving his wicket, and MacMillan took over the scoring. Anyway, bad luck for Pakistan. Always happen to them during the knockout stages of major ICC tournaments.

Every single batter from South Africa women squad side displayed worst performance and just defeat 127 scores and finished this match.

The performance of South Africa women's batsmen in this series was not good. They only collected 105 runs in the first match. Good batting by Marizanne Kapp and Bosch in the second match enabled the team to set a target of 230 runs. Kapp's excellent bowling helped the South Africa women's team win the match. Australia lost all wickets to collect only 149 runs.

In the last match we again saw the poor performance of the South African team. Kapp and Klaas bowled somewhat well as Australia set a big target of 278 runs. The South African team does not have the ability to win by batting against such a big target. Because the performance of their batsmen is very erratic and weak. Even so, if Kapp could have batted well, the match might have been competitive. But Kapp could not collect any runs in this match.

Ubaid Shah was good with bowl through out this tournament but in semi final it was Ali Raza who dominated with the bowl by picking 4 wickets. Clearly there is nothing to discuss in Pakistan batting, Awais and Minhas are the lonely warrior in entire the batting lineup. Pakistan clearly had a chance when they picked up wicket of Mahli Beardman but Raf MacMillan scored precious 19 runs that took Aussies U19 to final.

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.

The Canada batsmen put up a target of 285 after working hard and struggle. Which is a huge target.  But the Nepal batsmen worked hard and struggled more than them and achieved the victory.Yes indeed Nepal bowlers have not worked as hard and struggle as their batsmen have.  I think the Canada team must be thinking that 285 is a big target.  But their batsmen fulfilled their given target.My congratulations to the Nepalese team for their win and may they continue to play like this and keep winning matches.

[Justin999]

The semi final match was enjoyable between Australia U19 and Pakistan U19. The match was so unpredictable cause Australia U19 didn't have any single wickets in hand but they had to scored decent runs for win. And finally they won by 1 wickets only and i think they deserver it cause Australian bowlers gave so much effort while they had to runs as batsman. Well India U19 vs Australia U19 final Matche is going to start tomorrow at 8:00 AM GMT in Willowmoore Park, Benoni, South Africa. Can't guess what will happen. Just waiting for start

Nepal cricket is improving day by day, they have now also won three ODI series with one game still to be played. 285 was a good target but the experienced Nepali team don't find it hard to chase that big total. Nepali team chase the target with 29 balls still remaining. There is a match winning 150 runs partnership between the skipper Rohit Paudel and Dev Khannal. Canadian team need to improve there bowling in next match to avoid a 3-0 defeat.

2 nd game of this series was also won by Nepal team and 1 st game was also won Nepal team and this series total contain 3 game and Nepal team lead with 2 games from Canada team. In both games, Nepal Team chased down target of Canada team and today Canada team set 285 runs target and this was a good target but Canadian team bowling effort was weak and they did not stop Nepal team for chasing their target. Nepal team chased down this target by 4 wickets and 29 balls remaining. R.Paudel helped a lot of Nepal team for chasing target and he scored 87 runs in 101 balls and he hitted eight 4s and four 6s. D.Khanal also played well and scored 76 runs. Let's see next game of this series who will get win.

The performance of the Australia U19 team in the last semi-final made it very unlikely that the Australia U19 team would win the final. If you can bat well and control your bowling, India has a chance to win the final. India's bowling attack can bowl much harder and controlled balls than Australia's bowling attack. But in terms of batting, if they decide to bat before the toss, then Australia U19 must be all out before 200 runs or if they bat later, Australia must be given a target of over 250 runs. But today's match will be a revenge for India, can actually take revenge for the World Cup?
