ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

So far good cricket from both sides. The Aussies are building good partnerships and then the Indians keep chipping wickets by removing dangerous looking batter.

Australia should fancy their chance of touching or even crossing the 260 mark in the last 12 overs. That should be enough to put pressure on the Indians in the finals.

Oh well, 6th wicket down. They are not touching the 260 mark now.

[Insanity]

In the 2nd ODI match of Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan team Sri Lanka batted for 112 runs in 23 overs. Pathum Nissanka got out for 18 runs in 17 balls. Avishka Fernando got out for 5 runs in 23 balls. Avishka Fernando did not bat well in today's match.  .Sri Lanka team can give a target of 250 runs if they perform well in batting.Kusal Mendis started a good performance in batting.He scored 54 runs in 56 balls.

Good work from Indian bowlers and now it seems that Aussies might be able to make 250 in 9 overs that are left for batting. If Indians can restrict Aussies before 250 then they have a bright chance to win the game. Indian bowlers have regularly picked up wickets and doesn't allowed any Aussie batter to settle on the crease. Oliver Peake is well set Aussie batsmen at the moment and he need to stay on the crease if they want to make sure they make 250.

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan second ODI is underway and the Lankans have already lost 2 wickets quite early putting them in the dangerzone giving the Afghans an upper hand in this particular contest.

I hope Afghanistan wins this one especially after their epic fightback in the first match so that the series becomes a lot more entertaining.

This time Pathum Nissanka didn't play much time but it didn't matter because whenever a new batsman performs extremely well in a match so in the next matches, he is confused but after some time, he will back in foam as Jaiswal performed well in the early matches and after that performance some time he didn't perform well but now he again performed very good in a test match and another example is Saim Ayub, I don't need to explain you know.

I think the Sri Lankan team will lose today's match because their best player Pathum Nissanka lost his wicket but they had also the most experienced player.

Australia Under 19 team is likely to provide a target of around 250. They are batting well enough. And if they can score 250 runs on this pitch they will have a chance to win.

Australia managed to collect after 44 overs. 207 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Oliver Peake and Anderson are now batting. Oliver Peake is quite a talented batsman. If he stays at the crease, it will not be difficult for Australia to score 250 runs. However, Australia may not be able to muster up to 250 if they lose the wicket of Peake.

India U-19. vs  AUstralia U-19
[....]

Today is the big match of ICC Men Under 19s World competition which is fighting India U19 sqaud against Australia U19 squad. Both these squads previously defeated very big and tough squads and reach in final match for fighting with each other. This final match is ongoing on crease and Australia squad was begun this match first batting inning by winning tops from India squad. Whether this is right decision of Australia squad or not will only be evident at the end of match but Australia U19 squad batting Inning performance is ongoing very fantastic and almost reached for finishing almost 1 over remained. In 49 overs, Australia U19 squad collected 245 scores with lost of 7 batters wicket. Sam Konstas batter was unable to display impressive performance but he wiped out at 0 score and Raf MacMillan batter also wiped out at 2 scores and not showing Superb performance. Now let's see the performance of India U19 sqaud batter they will defeat this target or not.

India U-19. vs  AUstralia U-19

The Indian team is going  to face the  Australian team today  in the final of the Under-19 World Cup. We  know that the Australian  national team is very lucky for  the semi-final and final matches. I am looking forward to see how the Australia U19 team will play.

It was not easy for Australia to  win against Pakistan U19 in the semi-final. Their  batsmen are not playing well. But the first semi-final match between India vs South  Africa was also very  competitive. Both India and  Australia are very strong  teams. So it is impossible to predict with  certainty which  team will win. Both teams have chances to win. I am  my favorite team Australia.

It's always difficult to predict the out come of finals. Aussies were very lucky to win the tight contest in semi finals. Today's final will also be a tough contest as both teams are best of the tournaments. Aussies U19 have won the toss and they have decided to bat first. To be in safe zone Aussies must score 250, anything less then 200 will make India favorite for this contest.

After winning the toss, Australia under-19 captain decided to bat. A target of 253 runs in 50 overs they managed to deliver. If the bowlers perform well, Australia will win.

Opener Harry Dixon batted well. He got out after collecting 42 runs from 56 balls. Captain Weibgen scored 48 and Harjas Singh scored 55 runs. Oliver Peake played a brilliant innings of 46 runs from 43 balls at the crucial moment. It is not going to be easy for the Indian team to win by batting at a target of 254. I would say that the chances of winning the title are now more than the Australian team.

In the 2nd ODI match of Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan team Sri Lanka batted for 112 runs in 23 overs. Pathum Nissanka got out for 18 runs in 17 balls. Avishka Fernando got out for 5 runs in 23 balls. Avishka Fernando did not bat well in today's match.  .Sri Lanka team can give a target of 250 runs if they perform well in batting.Kusal Mendis started a good performance in batting.He scored 54 runs in 56 balls.

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected batting. Sri Lanka batsman makes 5 run in 1 over and Afghanistan no any wicket against Sri Lanka batsman. Afghanistan bowler out the Sri Lanka batsman in the last ball of the 4 over. This is the first achievement for Afghanistan team. This is the bad started for Sri Lanka batsman. Once time again Afghanistan bowler out the Sri Lanka batsman in the third ball of the 8 over. This is the second achievement for Afghanistan team. Sri Lanka batsman makes 40 run in 10 over and 2 outs. Sri Lanka batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Sri Lanka batsman makes 212 run in 40 over and 4 outs. Now let's see how difficult the Sri Lanka batsmen give Afghanistan a target and whether the Afghanistan batsmen can meet the target or not.

India U-19. vs  AUstralia U-19

The Indian team is going  to face the  Australian team today  in the final of the Under-19 World Cup. We  know that the Australian  national team is very lucky for  the semi-final and final matches. I am looking forward to see how the Australia U19 team will play.

It was not easy for Australia to  win against Pakistan U19 in the semi-final. Their  batsmen are not playing well. But the first semi-final match between India vs South  Africa was also very  competitive. Both India and  Australia are very strong  teams. So it is impossible to predict with  certainty which  team will win. Both teams have chances to win. I am  my favorite team Australia.

To be in safe zone Aussies must score 250, anything less then 200 will make India favorite for this contest.

After winning the toss, Australia under-19 captain decided to bat. A target of 253 runs in 50 overs they managed to deliver. If the bowlers perform well, Australia will win.

Opener Harry Dixon batted well. He got out after collecting 42 runs from 56 balls. Captain Weibgen scored 48 and Harjas Singh scored 55 runs. Oliver Peake played a brilliant innings of 46 runs from 43 balls at the crucial moment. It is not going to be easy for the Indian team to win by batting at a target of 254. I would say that the chances of winning the title are now more than the Australian team.

A target of 254 runs can be considered a big target on this pitch at Willowmoore Park. The average score of the first innings of this pitch is 233 runs and the average score of the second innings is only 179 runs. So a collection of 253 runs is enough to win if the bowlers can bowl well.

After losing the first wicket for just 16 runs, Dixon and Weibgen built a fine partnership. This pair collected 78 runs. And finally with the help of Peake's 46 runs, the team managed to give the target of 254 runs.
India's two openers are batting very carefully. India collected only 1 run in 2 overs. It is very difficult to win a big target if the opening pair is not good.

Sir Lanka are playing now and they have scored 200 runs in 43 overs  with the lose of 4 wickets .

And now C Asalanka and J liyanage playing. Both of them are playing their innings very well and both have almost completed their half centuries.C Asalanka made 64 run in 54 balls with continue their inning and J liyanage made 44 runs in 45 balls . I hope if they both continue his inning they give a run target 300 run plus .

The Australian Under 19 team gave a very good target to the Indian team in the Final and the two overs were gone in these 2 overs Indian team made 0 runs, A run was hit but it was also from a wide ball and if they made this thing into the at least 10, meanwhile they able to Indian team to make just 15 runs at the first 10 overs so it will very good. From Indian prospective, they need to score and also not lose wickets.

Harjas Singh played well in the middle, but India gained control when Australia were 187-6. Then, Oliver Peake played a crucial knock, taking them to 253/7! Australia has a strong pace attack against India's good batting. It's going to be an exciting chase or defense. Best of luck to Team India in the chase as it's a tough target. But Australia is always dominant in the final stretch.

Now let's see the performance of India U19 sqaud batter they will defeat this target or not.

Wow, what a beauty. Just the game is starting and the Australian bowlers couldn't wait and they picked a wicket. Three runs were made by batsmen and the batsman who made these runs was been out by a very good youngster from Australia Callum Vidler.

Arshin Kulkarni has gone, making runs against Australian bowlers got expensive, and after seeing this wicket Musheer Khan came and he was also scared and every single bowl that he played he left it or tipped on it. Now, Adarsh Singh making runs but I hope later he will also go as his partner Arshin Kulkarni wet to the dressing room. Indian team is loved to win all the matches and looking a bit shaking in the final match.

[BitcoinsGreat]

Just they need to have a mindset in which they only need to pass the overs and nothing else. If this time, Australian bowlers did a good bowling so the could become man of the match in this final. Anything thing can happen in this Sunday's final and its still anyone's game.
I would fancy both teams can win at the moment.

[noormcs5]

Sir Lanka are playing now and they have scored 200 runs in 43 overs  with the lose of 4 wickets .

And now C Asalanka and J liyanage playing. Both of them are playing their innings very well and both have almost completed their half centuries.C Asalanka made 64 run in 54 balls with continue their inning and J liyanage made 44 runs in 45 balls . I hope if they both continue his inning they give a run target 300 run plus .

What if Pathum Nissanka didn't make runs when you have Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Sadeera Samarawickrama, and the last Kusal Mendis here. These are all the players who make 300 runs for their team.

At this time, three hundred runs are not hit but I think when you see this post so maybe 300 runs hit or innings was also finished for Sri Lanka. At this time, I think this series is good for the Sri Lankan team. Charith Asalanka needed some more runs to completed his century and in this match, we will again see a century by any Sri Lankan player. In tour match, an Afghanistan player hit a century but after that match we see only Sri Lanka players everywhere.

[BitcoinsGreat]

Australia has a strong pace attack against India's good batting. It's going to be an exciting chase or defense. Best of luck to Team India in the chase as it's a tough target. But Australia is always dominant in the final stretch.

Now, slowly Indian team is slowly catching up with the score and maybe they can win this World Cup but if the Australian team starts to pick wickets and bowls to their pacers so it will be good because in the previous match, their pacers helped them very much so I hope that they will not leave their team hopeless in this critical match situation.

If Mushir Khan from here plays a big inning, and more importantly India wins the game, Australia will have a huge regret for him dropping him easy. Also, Adarsh Singh is defending so good.

India is at 28-1 at 10 overs, I'd say, India is still in good position, and my bet is still on India to win this one, India has huge batting depth, plus how Saharan played in semi-final against SA after India losing 4 quick wickets also bolsters my confidence.

I'd say atm they are playing too defensively and the scoreboard is not moving much.

A couple of quick wickets and Australia will tighten the noose, scorecard pressure does wonders in the finals so this batting pair needs to find 20-30 quick runs for pressure release.

An early wicket helped them (the Australian team), but now the Indian team pressure slowly calmed down and if this keeps going like this so it will be dangerous for the Australian team because maybe the Australian team will lose it but I think that the Australian pacers will pick another wicket again.
One good partnership for the Indian team and the match belongs to them.

Sri Lanka has been able to get 308 runs in the allotted 50 overs and they have lost 6 wickets while doing so. Right now the middle of innings-break is going on. I don't think Afghanistan will be able to chase the target successfully because the target is definitely very huge. But Afghanistan will also have to do everything to win this match at the same time because if they lose this match they will lose the series because Sri Lanka is already leading by one-zero. But looking at the target it definitely looks very hard.
