Sri Lanka A vs Afghanistan A 5th ODI Match

What a great bowling by Naveed Zadran and Nangeyalia Kharote. They both bowled really well as we can see Naveed Zadran collected 4 wickets and Nangeyalia Kharote collected 3 wickets. Afghanistan lost the series but they make a great comeback in last two matches. Not even in bowling they also played really well in batting too. Sri Lanka A set a target of 198 runs. But Afghanistan has Riaz Hassan who played really and remained not out till end and he made 74 runs. In total Afghanistan Lost 5 wickets and chased the target. Excellent performance Afghanistan A team. And congratulations on your win.

As I said in my previous post. I was thinking that Afghanistan A will continue there performance so they did it. First of all Sri Lanka A performance was not good. They tried really well but they didn't go above 200+ runs. If they go above 200 so they could win. But unfortunately they didn't make that score. As you mentioned Riaz Hassan. He is really good in batting. He made 75 runs. By the Congratulations to Afghanistan on their winning.

I actually did not think that Afghanistan will actually be able to win any matches in this series. Afghanistan A team winning against the Sri Lanka A is an indication that they are improving rapidly. And one thing to notice is that the bowlers that are being generated from Afghanistan are really good. There was a time when we all knew that Afghanistan was really good at generating spin bowlers but now we all can see that Afghanistan is actually being able to generate fast and Spin bowlers. The future is really bright for Afghanistan. I hope Afghanistan will be able to continue this improvement.

Afghanistan is having one of the team which is having talented players but sadly due to their domestic issues they are not able to do things as they required so right now they are doing good even they lost this series just after 3 matches but still they were committed, and they fight back for the win and at the end we have series ended on score of 3–2 which is obliged result for these Afghan youngsters which are looking for the experience and better opportunities in this game cricket.
Hopefully few other boards will also invite them for the tours, and they will be having good practice and experience for the big game which is important for quality of the game and spirit of the game even few boards are having problems with their domestic policies but still things can take positive change in long run.

Afghanistan do have tons of talent. A large number of Afghan players are participating in the Indian Premier League, and the numbers seem to go up with every year. After Australia, South Africa and West Indies, perhaps Afghanistan is the country that contributes to the largest number of foreign players to the IPL. On the other hand, players from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are decreasing in number. They maybe a war torn country, but the Afghan Cricket Board seems to be very efficient.

South African stars will play in IPL Caribbean stars will play in IPL Australian stars will play in IPL It is a normal thing but this season about 7 to 8 Afghan players have participated in the IPL auction and got the team but it is not a small matter. To get 7 players place in a tournament like IPL means to assume that their cricket has gone to another level and they have been able to improve a lot in this short span of time.  You look at Bangladesh or Srilanka these teams have been playing cricket for a long time but out of 1 to 2 players in IPL auction but all these countries don't get chance to play IPL. If the Afghan government gives more importance to cricket then there is no doubt that this team will do better in a short time.

Afghanistan A vs Sri Lanka A team both teams face each other but in the fifth ODI match the bowlers of Afghanistan A team bowled brilliantly from the beginning and bowled aggressively due to which the batsmen of this team could not score a good run in Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka A team was bowled out for only 197 runs. However, the players of the Afghanistan team have performed really admirably in the first two matches, Afghanistan lost against Sri Lanka very badly. From there, the Afghanistan A team managed to restrict the Sri Lankan team to very few runs due to their excellent performance. Afghanistan A did not have much trouble getting off to a great start after going into bat against a target of 198 runs given by Sri Lanka A team. Although Sri Lanka won the series but Afghanistan performed very well.

thats true. We can see the speedy development in Afghanistan cricket sector where most of players are very talented. Dangerous bowlers and batsmans are belongs to Afghanistan, Probably 10 Afghanistan cricketers got hired in IPL.
And if its about Sri Lanka A vs Afghanistan A 5th ODI Match, i must say the development of Afghanistan which is clearly seen in the match cause at first Sri Lanka was leading and continuely won 3 matches but when Afghanistan becomes to serious and dedicated, they won the last 2 matches including the 5th one. Sri Lanka didn't bat well in the last match except Sooriyabandara(70). Maybe Afghanistan bowlers like Naveed Zadran, were too good at their bowling performance. Afghanistan batting wasn't too much good. But Riaz Hassan(74) and Shahidullah Kamal (47) made good runs. And all-rounder Nangeyalia Kharote did great contribution to finished the match with good runs including best bowling

They have still one Test match which they will play tomorrow. I know there is a big difference between ODI format and Test match. But Test match also show the grace of the team. We saw that how Afghanistan A team make a great comeback after losing 3 matches from Srilanka A team. That's is the thing which makes Cricket game fair. If the team is playing good and every player is doing his job so definitely the team will win. Practice is another factor which effect on the team performance. By the way let's see what will Afghanistan do in Test match.

Yes, their bowler has really bowled very well. If they don't succeed in this, it would be the biggest problem for their batsmen and they could lose this match as well.  But the target of 197 has become easy for them.  And their batsmen are fulfilling this target.  And I hope they can achieve this goal.  Because they have 2-3 matches in which their performance has been very good.  If the Sri Lankan batsmen performed well, they could have set a target of 250 and it was going to be difficult for Afghanistan and the chances of losing the match could be high.  But their batsmen scored 198 runs in 45 overs and won the match.  They need more hard work and struggle to perform well in every match.  Their batsmen have also worked hard and interested.Congratulations to them on their win and may they continue to play like this.

The Test match of Sri Lanka team vs Afghanistan team has already started and Sri Lanka team is batting very responsibly, it seems that Afghanistan will give a big lead to this team. In Afghanistan, this team should quickly put pressure on the team's batsmen with wickets in Sri Lanka. However, the way this Sri Lankan team is batting is really admirable. Looking at their current state of play, it seems that if they can bat like this, they can give a lead of 400 plus runs to the Afghanistan team.

Sri Lanka A vs Afghanistan A 5th ODI Match

We know that the series is at 3-1. And Srilanka A already won the first three matches mean they have won the series. They were dominant but in the previous match means in 4th ODI Match Afghanistan A made a great comeback and took revenge of previous 3 matches. So in 2 hours the 5th ODI match will be played and I think Afghanistan A team will perform well like they performed in the previous match. And we can't predict about today match because due to winning of Afghanistan in the last match. Both teams are looking at same position so its really hard to predict so let's see who will win today match.

In final match of series Afghanistan A team win match due to the bowling performance of Afghan Bowler. Sri Lanka A batting first and scored 197 runs all out. Afghanistan A all-round outstanding performance in bowling they restricted the Sri Lanka A team to under 200 runs and chased down the target of 198 runs in a loss of 5 wickets. from Afghanistan A team Riaz Hassan batting well scored 74 runs unbeaten helped his team to easily chase down the target.

Currently, Afghanistan government is having many challenges which are not easy for them to settle just because of these sports is not into their priority but still they are doing good things and having good results specially in cricket and soccer their teams are producing good results with kick-boxing, wrestling and few other sports are also having good development but sadly them having better things in security and finances are their first priority because with these things can't take positive changes.
Afghanistan players are doing impressive job in T20i so just because of this now they are having good money from the IPL which is helping their game and increasing popularity of the game in this country as well but still it needs decades to have all things settled here.

Pakistan Women vs England Women ODI Series

As we know that Pakistan Women and England Women both are playing T20I series at this time and today is the last match of this series. And we know that England Women team is much stronger as compare to the Pakistan women team. And they have won two matches and the series too.
So after this series they will play the ODI series. Which will start from 23rd May. So the format eill br changed do may be Pakistan will perform well. But we can't say anything at this time. So let's wait for the 23rd.

Well.. this is surprising. Cricket is a priority for the current Afghan government. It brings in a lot of revenue for them. And in terms of popularity, cricket and football are at almost equal level. Cricket is more popular among the Pashtuns who reside in Eastern and Southern regions, while football dominates among other ethnic groups such as Hazaras, Tadzhiks, Uzbeks and Pashayis. But in recent times cricket has expanded into Western and Northern Afghanistan where non-Pashtun ethic groups reside.

Two matches in a row against England Women's team were badly beaten Pakistan Women's team only because of their bone I would blame their poor batting in both the matches Pakistan Women's team were badly beaten due to their poor batting. Let's see how well Pakistan women team can bat in today's match if they want to win today's match they must bat responsibly. 23rd May First ODI will be England vs Pakistan Women T20 match as Pakistan women team is not doing very well they must bat responsibly as Pakistan women team lost very badly against West Indies and also against England. Not performing very well. Let's see how well the Pakistan Women's team can perform in the ODI series at the end.

Right Odi series will start very soon and today is last match of series and hopefully pakistan women will come back in this match and win it. There is no doubt Pakistan women is week team in ODI format but if they improve their batting line then they will win this match but also series. I think the Pakistan women team make some changing in the playing XI in this series and tried to bat first and score a good total for the England women.

The Sri Lanka team did not perform well in the match.  Even their batsmen could not make a good target and their bowlers did not stop the run.  Due to their performance they have lost these matches.  If their batsmen play at good pace the target could have been good.  Had the Sri Lanka bowlers picked up wickets the match could have gone to them.  But luck also did not support him and he could not bowl well and would lose the match.Congratulations to the Afghanistan team for the win.  Sri Lankan batsmen could have won the match if they were able to become the target.

Right Odi series will start very soon and today is last match of series and hopefully pakistan women will come back in this match and win it. There is no doubt Pakistan women is week team in ODI format but if they improve their batting line then they will win this match but also series. I think the Pakistan women team make some changing in the playing XI in this series and tried to bat first and score a good total for the England women.

1 st ODI series game between Pakistan-W team vs England-W team will be play after 3 days exact date is 23 rd may. All T20i games between those teams already concluded and the results of all these games England-W team did not lose any game and they beated Pakistan-W team in every game very poorly. Id their team will be play in ODi series with same effort their team definitely lose this ODI so far. Pakistan-W team improved their batting lineup especially because their player did play fast and did not make good runs and they block too many balls with no runs. In future, these things could prove to be very detrimental for Pakistan women team. In remaining days, they made good strategy like when they won toss choose first bat, change opener batsman, also made some improvement in batting line if they want to make odi series successful and win this series with good stats.

Pakistan women really need to improve there game if they want to win matches. In last ODI and T20 series against West Indies Women they manage to win only one game and now they have yet to win a game against England. England women team is much stronger then West Indies Women team and if Pakistan struggle to win a match against West Indies then it be really tough for them to beat England women team at there home ground.

I think Pakistani Women International ODI cricket team can't improve because in Pakistani, mostly parents didn't want her daughter to play cricket. They want her daughter in the house where she will serve her husband and family. Pakistani Women International ODI cricket team is not much stronger to play against big teams like England, Australia and India. If Pakistan wants change in cricket history,they should give freedom to the women in Pakistan. In England, Europe and in many other countries, women can practice easily and no one will demotivate her but in Pakistan that is opposite and that's why Pakistani International Women cricket team is unsuccessful in cricket.

Pakistan women's team is showing failure in every match they are losing one match after another and losing the series. I have been seeing for days not only Pakistan Women's team but also Bangladesh Women's team and the country losing the series because of playing badly.
The status of Pakistan and Bangladesh teams in women's cricket arena is similar as these two teams have played series against few teams at their home ground and they have lost each series.
Few days ago Pakistan women team lost series against West Indies now they lost ODI series 3-0 against England women team. The Bangladesh team played a series against Australia and India at home a few days ago. These two side by side countries and even their conditions are almost the same. Moreover, the culture of Bangladesh and Pakistan is similar. Women in these two countries are given less freedom in everything be it cricket or anything else.

Now, it is officially announced that once again that Nida Dar will lead the Pakistan team in the ODI series as she led the team in T20 series and lost them all. She did not played good and even sometimes poor, but here is not that she is the alone worrier of the team, there are also good players but they didn’t perform as well as we needed.

However, for this poor captaincy, the PCB talks that the captain could be replaced and today is the day when the PCB announced that nothing surprises, Nida Dar will lead the team in ODI series. That was just the rumours that the captain would be changed. I think that the Pakistan women's team doesn't have any player who is more experienced than here.

The T20I series in which three T20Is were played by Pakistan against England and of course the team of Pakistan didn’t win at least a single match and lost all three matches in a very bad way which proves that the the Pakistan women's team and players are very low performers.  All these matches were played in different cities but still, they could not judge at least one pitch. The first match was played at Leeds, and the second match was played at Northampton, while the third match was played at Birmingham, but still they cannot judge any pitch from them. Also now the next ODI series also have same situation, every match will be played in different cities. I don't think the Pakistan women's team will get any time to settle down.
