ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Rustam Meraj]

Over all if we see so Sri Lanka A team is looking more strong as compare to the Afghanistan A team. While this match was limited to 30 overs but Afghanistan didn't play well they only made 121 runs. And the target wasn't high. When SriLanka A team started playing and they just near to their victory the rain started. We can see that they made 104 runs in half of the given overs. So they could win the in next 2 to 3 overs because the target was not high. By the way Sri Lanka A won the match by DLS method. And I hope they will continue their performance in next matches and I think they can win this series with 5-0 easily. So let's see what they will do in next matches.

I think Sri Lanka A team is stronger than Afghanistan A team based on their recent matches. In a short 30 over match Afghanistan had trouble scoring runs and only made 121. Sri Lanka A team was easily winning scoring 104 runs in almost 15 overs when rain stopped the game. They were close to winning. Sri Lanka A won match using a special rule called DLS. Since they played so well and I also think they might keep winning and take the whole series 5-0. It will be exciting to see if they can keep playing well and will win series.

Nepal once again lost to West Indies A, at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground. Despite winning the first match they are now trailing the series 1-2. And today they went down by a bug margin. Batting first, West Indies set up a strong target of 228, after Johnson Charles
made 119 from just 61 balls. Everyone except Gulsan Jha went for more than 10 runs per over. And in return none of the Nepal batsmen could get to 30, as they were bowled out for just 151.

This West Indian side which is here in Nepal for the practice of their players having too many big names which already have mark in international cricket and things are also well under control lost their first game this was surprising, but now they are doing good job and having comeback with mostly players are here as they are looking for their best possible players those will be available for the selection of next world cup and this is good chance for them to give their best. For me most surprising thing is Nepal were able to chase 200+ runs into first game which is really impressive job from them now we have two more games so most chances now West Indies will be not allowed them to have anything positive.

Sri Lanka A versus Afghanistan A

This was the 2 unofficial match and played between Afghanistan A and Sri Lanka A. Afghanistan won the toss and elected batting. Afghanistan batsman makes 4 run in 2 over and Sri Lanka bowler no any wicket against Afghanistan batsman. This is the bad started for Afghanistan batsman. Sri Lanka bowler out the Afghanistan batsman in the fivth ball of the 4 over. This is the first achievement for Sri Lanka bowler. Once time again Sri Lanka bowler out the Afghanistan batsman in the last ball of the 5 over. This is the second achievement for Sri Lanka bowler. Afghanistan batsman makes 29 run in 10 over and 5 outs. Afghanistan batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Afghanistan batsman makes 121 run in 27.2 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Sri Lanka batsman. This is the easy target for Sri Lanka batsman. Sri Lanka batsman can complete this target and won the match.

Yesterday unofficial series which was played between Sri Lanka a team vs Afghanistan a team and this series yesterday 2 nd game was ended. Afghanistan A team won toss in this game and their team chose bat line first and this decision was not in favour of Afghanistan a team. Afghanistan A team set 121 runs target due to DLS Method overs were reduced to 30 and Afghanistan a team only played 27.3 overs. Sri Lanka a team easily chased down all target in 15.2 overs and won this game by 8 wickets. K.Mishara chased almost 45 runs in 45 balls and he hitted six 4s. L.Udara also scored 20 runs and played good in batting line. In bowling line, M.Shiraz took down 2 wickets of Afghanistan a team batsman in 7 overs same two more bowler also bowled out same 2 wickets each. Afghanistan A team already lost 1 st and now their team add one more lost in their table and but they still have chance to win this series but in next games their improve their mistakes and do more practice in their lineups.

2nd match between Afghanistan A and Sri Lanka A was done. And once again Sri Lanka won the match but this time Afghanistan team did worst performance. Because in 1st match, they did decent amount of runs which was 277, while Sri Lanka had 304 scored. But this time Afghanistan all out within 121 runs only. Their top players out with lower runs while their all rounders Farmanullah(37) and Qais Ahmad (43) makes runs for their team. Otherwise it could be worst. I must say Sri Lankan bowling line was so perfect. Even they also have done well in batting. At beginning they lost their two openers but Kamil Mishara(45) played brilliantly and had a great contribution behind this achievement of Sri Lanka team

I think Afghanistan team is not playing this match with interest.  Due to which they are not able to perform well in the match.  Their batsmen are targeting 100 or 150.  If they worked hard and struggled in the match they would have hit the target with good runs like last time.  Now their batsman Riyaz Hasan who did not make any runs in 22 balls and got out.  This was the case with their batsmen.Darvish batsman scores 2 runs off 2 balls and is out.  If he and Riyaz Hasan had scored 50 runs, the target would have been over 200.  And Shahid Fate would have supported him and could have won the match.His team needs to perform very well.  If these things are not emphasized then they will lose such matches and the success will go to the Sri Lankan team.  They have to play hard and struggle and win matches.

I don't think so that the interest is mattering here. They are playing with interest but they have lack of practice and theu are not focusing on mistakes. They have some mistakes which they are making. Their top tier batsmen are not holding wickets. When the first players got out earlier it always put a pressure on rest of the team.
By the way tomorrow is the third match. And let's see what will the Afghanistan A team will do in this match. I hope they will make a good comeback and fight well with Sri Lanka A team.

By the way tomorrow is the third match. And let's see what will the Afghanistan A team will do in this match. I hope they will make a good comeback and fight well with Sri Lanka A team.

Yes you are right tomorrow is the third ODI Match between Sri Lanka A team and Afghanistan A team. And we saw that how Sri Lanka A team is good in their performance in both batting and bowling. They already won previous two matches. I also hope that Afghanistan team will make a comeback but chances are not good. I think again Sri Lanka A team will play well and can win this match again. I am saying that just due to their previous stats. They played really well in previous two matches so they can continue this performance. I also think Afghanistan will fight well but can't say that they will win the match.

Yes so finally today is the third unofficial ODI match between Srilanka A and Afghanistan A teams. The match will start almost in 2 hours. And we know that hpw Srilanka A performed in previous 2 matches. There were the rain inthe last two matches and we can't say anything that what will happen today. But I think there should not be rain today. So both teams will show their performance. And we will see that which is more strong. Because previous two matches Srilanka won the matches due to DLS method. I know Srilanka is good but if they will play the full 50 overs so this will show the clear performance. So let's see who will win.

Agreed! In any game, you have to stick to the end. The game can turn even before the end of the game. It is complicated to decide who will win or will not win until the end of the game. Although Sri Lanka won the last two matches due to the DLS system that is not the solution I think. So one can understand who is strong in the game, after watching the whole. As far as I think Afghanistan this team also plays very well. Hope today's game will be enjoyable.

Yes, one more match was finished today of unofficial ODI competition which was clashed among Afghanistan A squad against Sri Lanka A sqaud. It is true that Afghanistan A squad against faced a bad defeat and this was third time Afghanistan A squad played very worst inning in this competition. Afghanistan A team has begun this fight first with batting Inning and their squad member did not display good batting skills so far. At end of their first bat inning, Afghanistan A squad has managed to collect 185 scores with lost of all batter wickets. Afghanistan A sqaud lost lost their batter wickets very fastly with low scores.

In today's match of Afghanistan A team vs Sri Lanka A team, if Afghanistan A team could have batted responsibly, if they could have tried to play the whole over, it would have been very easy to win the match against Sri Lanka A team. If the Afghanistan team could have given the Sri Lanka team a target of 250 runs, then the Afghanistan team would have won today's match. The main reason why Afghanistan team lost today's match is their weak batting. Of course, if they could have focused their batting, if they could have batted responsibly, maybe Sri Lanka would have had a chance to win against this team. In Afghanistan, the Sri Lankan team did not have much problem to win after going down to bat against the target of 186 runs given by this team. Sri Lanka won very easily.

[ThemePen]

Agreed! In any game, you have to stick to the end. The game can turn even before the end of the game. It is complicated to decide who will win or will not win until the end of the game. Although Sri Lanka won the last two matches due to the DLS system that is not the solution I think. So one can understand who is strong in the game, after watching the whole. As far as I think Afghanistan this team also plays very well. Hope today's game will be enjoyable.

So finally the match has been played. And as usual Sri Lanka A won the match easily. Afghanistan played first turn. And they collected only 185 runs with all team out. And that was not enough runs to make pressure on Srilanka A team. Here I appreciate the bowling of Mohamed Shiraz who collected 3 wickets.
After that Srilanka A started their turn. When they lost 2 wickets at 27 runs. So I was thinking that it will make pressure on Srilanka team but there was Pasindu Sooriyabandara who played really well and he made 84 runs. One more interesting thing is that Mohammad Saleem collected 3 wickets. He was bowling well but unfortunately he bowled his overs means he completed his 10 overs. If he has more overs to bowl so he can turn the situation of the match. But unfortunately Afghanistan A lost the match.

Sri Lanka A was really good in bowling and batting and I was expecting that Sri Lanka will win this match. So as you mentioned everything. Afghanistan A batting line not good they need much practice more to come up. I also think 186 runs target was not a good target. Here we can say the bowling line of Sri Lankan A team is good because they out the whole team of Afghanistan A before 50 overs completion. Surprising thing was that SriLanka A team also lost 6 wickets. But Pasindu Sooriyabandara take over the match and he made 84 runs. And only his contribution led the team to win. And now they have played 3 matches of the series and two matches are left and the series is at 3-0. I hope Afghanistan will make a good comeback. So let's see.

you are right Sri Lanka A team outstanding batting and bowling performance in this series. In third odi Sri Lanka A team chase down the target 186 runs in a loss of 6 wickets in 37.5 over of the Match. Pasindu Sooriyabandara batting well scored 84 runs from 109 balls and remain unbeaten in the match. Afghanistan team lost the series due to disappointing performance in the match they all out in just 185 runs and Sri Lanka A easily chase the target.

The Sri Lanka bowlers bowled very well from the start with aggressive bowling due to which the Afghanistan batsmen could not score a good run as the Afghanistan team was bowled out for just 186 runs. Afghanistan's batsmen should have batted responsibly as they came to play against Sri Lanka, Afghanistan's batsmen should have performed responsibly to win against Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan bowlers and batsmen gave a responsible performance against Afghanistan due to which Sri Lankan team did not have much problem to win against Afghanistan. The Sri Lankan team got off to a great start after going into bat against a target of 167 runs given by Afghanistan and won very easily. If Afghanistan's batsmen could have played the entire over, they could have given a big target to the Sri Lankan team. If Afghanistan's bowlers could have attacked, the game would certainly have been contested.

Sri Lanka has already won the series and they are leading by 3-0. So even if Afghanistan wins the remaining two matches, they would still be unable to win the series.
