ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Sithara007]

The third and final ODI between India and Sri Lanka will be played tomorrow. Sri Lanka is ahead by a margin of 1-0, after they managed to tie the first match and win the second one. So the momentum is with them. And what makes the match interesting tomorrow is that rain interruption is being predicted. This is the worst possible outcome for India, since they will lose the series if the 3rd match gets washed out. I would have suggested a few changes to the Indian XI, but from what I heard they will be going with an unchanged XI from the second match.

[noormcs5]

They would want to go in the ground for the 3rd ODI but they still have to wait for another day. I don't understand why there is so much gap between the ODIs. All ODIs are to be played in Colombo, so there is no such thing as the team having to travel between cities etc. Anyway, all eyes are on tomorrow's final ODI match of this series.

There was 1 day rest period between first two and in latter 2 is 2 day rest period, I don't think it's that long, rather I feel they should have kept 2 day rest between first two too.

Why do the teams need two days rest period after playing an ODI match? It is not that hectic and all the players should have the fitness to play back to back ODI matches. One day of rest between each match is enough in today's world.
Yeah if there is any upcoming weekend, then the match can be scheduled in a way that it happens on Sunday or on holiday to get more crowds in, but even after the 2 day break, we will have the match on Wednesday, a working day.

Pakistan A vs Bangladesh A

Anyone here to watch this unofficial ODI match among Pakistan A sqaud against Bangladesh A sqaud. This ODi match was finished today among these squads. In this match we see very interesting and epic moments with great bowling inning performance of Pakistan A sqaud against batter of Bangladesh A sqaud. Bangladesh A sqaud has begun this match first with batting Inning by losing toss task and Pakistan A sqaud bowlers displayed significant performance and restricted the batters of Bangladesh A sqaud at just 78 scores in 50 overs inning. Allah batters of Bangladesh A sqaud played very badly with low quality defeating target they set. Pakistan A sqaud has good talented players in bowling like Muhammad Imran, he wiped out 3 wickets of batter, Khurram Shahzad cleared out 2 wickets, Mubasir Khan picked up 2 wickets, Mubasir Khan also wiped out 2 and last one Arafat Minhas also picked one wicket. This was the easy victory for Pakistan A sqaud to achieve low score target.

The Pakistan A team has easily won the match against the Bangladesh A team. Once again, we have seen no good performance by Sahibzada Farhan as he was out on the zero score, without making any runs. 

In the last test match both innigs, he has not performed well as he has to do. Yes, in the first match first innings, he made good score between 70 and 80 in good balls according to the test format but now he is not playing well. The middle order of the Pakistan A team is very good and strong and they manage to win hard matches before and today too but today’s, there was easy match for them.

I think the in tomorrow’s match too, the Sri Lanka team will win as they are leading the series and will enter with full confidence in the ground tomorrow. The Indian team has all the players, those who have the ability to change the game momentum but still they are losing against Sri Lanka.



Tomorrow the Sri Lanka team could take revenge for the T20 series being washed out against India because if they win tomorrow's match then they wash out to India in ODI as well. Yes, in the first match of the ODI series, there was rain but except for that match Sri Lanka can whitewash India tomorrow.

I think India lost the ODI match after three years against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won an ODI match after 2021. The final match of the series is played tomorrow at Premadasa Stadium. According to the weather report rain prediction is more than 50% on the final match of the series. If rain abounded the match, then Sri Lanka won the series. Sri Lanka wins the series after 27 runs. last time in 1997, Sri Lanka won the series against India. If rain didn't disturb the match, then India had a strong chance of winning the match because they have ability to come back strongly and level the series. Sri Lanka has quality spin bowling that will help him to win the last match of the series.

[jostorres]

I think Sri Lanka could not bring much change in their performance rather India performed very badly that's why Sri Lanka's performance is highlighted. If you notice, you will see that the runs that India managed to score in one innings in the T20 series, the batsmen of Team India failed to score in the second T20 match in the ODI series. I would have agreed with you if Sri Lanka could have set a big target but they were stuck in limited runs and India failed to win chasing that easy target. We did not notice a good performance from India in the first ODI match even though they managed to draw that match now Indian fans and Indian cricketers have to look forward to the third and final ODI match. If the third ODI match is a draw or India lose for any reason then they will lose the series so the third ODI match must be taken seriously.

Yeah I agree, Sri Lankan are playing with their quality and things are on same level, but sadly we are having drop into Indian performance as their batting order is having some disturbance just because of this we are having things like these in last two games where they are suffering badly.

Change of format is also having impact on few player's performance but here we are also having some experiment form the selectors as their main target is Champions Trophy which is coming after few months so they are having some changes, but sadly things are not working as they were expecting so hopefully after this series we will have few more changes from them and team’s moral will be back, and they will be able to perform as we have from them in last ODI World Cup where India lost final against Australia.

What was this trash performance from Bangladesh as a team? They should have and probably could have done better. Because this kind of performance is absolutely unacceptable. How did they manage to not even cross a hundred marks is absolutely beyond me. Bangladesh was only able to score 78. And of course, Pakistan was able to reach the target in no time.

I think the problem that was going on in Bangladesh had to do something with it. We all know that a big protest was going on in Bangladesh. The police literally killed people by shooting. A lot of people lost their loved ones. Maybe that was at the back of the minds of the players.

[Nanga Parbat]

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill performed well in the second match but the latter failed to turn around. That's why the Indian team failed but the Sri Lankan team performed well in two consecutive matches. Now in only the third ODI match Sri Lanka can win but it will be the most competitive. Because in this case the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team have been patient, but the players of the Indian team have been surprised in two consecutive one-way matches.

That was surprising time for me because we expected that Indian team will win this match because Indian team won the World Cup. But we were wrong because recently Indian team played T20 cricket matches and they have no practice if ODI cricket. In ODI cricket, Partnership plays crucial role in win, Indian team played well in the start but after that they started losing wickets and they lose back to back wickets and after that we saw lose of India and won Of Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan team won due to their bowling only because they had no power in cricket and they didn't give good target. In next match. , Sri Lankan team should take batting first and should give target of 310 runs and if they gave 310 runs then we will get win of Sri Lanka team.Sri Lanka is not big team but luck is playing big role in their win . Sri Lanka player's should work  slightly on their batting because next match will be more difficult for Sri Lanka batters.

[ZAINmalik75]

Both the Netherlands women's team and the Papua New Guinea team are quite weak. And that's why we don't see much discussion about this match. But I checked the scoreboard of the match. It was not a very exciting match.

To be honest I don't watch the match or any kind of highlights but just checked out scoreboard and find out that just like everyone exception first Papua New Guinea women's team  lose against Netherlands and then after that Carrey in his defeat streak and lose again Scotland women team too which is shocking for anyone because everyone know they are new in cricketing world and things will be really tough for them to mange in thier earlies, but they way they shown thier dedication and hard work I am damn sure soon they will get some young start which will took their team to the new highes of women cricketing history, anyway then main concern for them is thier weak batting lineup they should work really hard on thier that department in order to make his name in such tough competition

[Rustam Meraj]

Pakistan A vs Bangladesh A

Yes they played there 2nd unofficial ODI match. In which we can see that how Pakistan A performed. There performance was excellent.
Bangladesh A team was looking much weaker as compare to Pakistan A team. Bangladesh A team took the first turn in batting and they made only 78 runs because Pakistan A bowling was very good. Mohammad Imran destroyed 3 Players of Bangladesh A team. Khurram Shahzad, Jahandad Khan and Mubasir Khan destroyed 2,2,2 players and at the end Arafat Minhas collected 1 wicket. Means the whole team contributed in team win.
Well Pakistan A started their turn in batting and they chased the target in 17 overs with the lost of 2 wickets. Congratulations to Pakistan A team.

Srilanka vs India 3rd ODI

So today is the 3rd and the final match between India and Srilanka. So this will be very interesting match because first match was tied. And the second match was also interesting and the Srilanka comeback surprised everyone and they won the last match. So today match will be tough because India will try to tie the series and Srilanka will try to win the series so this match is really important for both teams. My best wishes are with Srilanka because India has won the T20 series and Srilanka deserves to win this.

So today match will be tough because India will try to tie the series and Srilanka will try to win the series so this match is really important for both teams. My best wishes are with Srilanka because India has won the T20 series and Srilanka deserves to win this.

Yes you are right this is really important match for both teams because the series is now at 1-0. And SriLanka won the 2nd match and first was tied. So according to the current situation this is an important match for both teams. Especially for SriLankan team because they take revenge of the T20I series. If SriLankan team will win so they will also white wash the Indian team just like T20I series.
I hope SriLanka will do their best to win this match. And they have ability to win this match because they have already proven it and I hope they will win today match too.

[Out of mind]

The third and final ODI between India and Sri Lanka will be played tomorrow. Sri Lanka is ahead by a margin of 1-0, after they managed to tie the first match and win the second one. So the momentum is with them. And what makes the match interesting tomorrow is that rain interruption is being predicted. This is the worst possible outcome for India, since they will lose the series if the 3rd match gets washed out. I would have suggested a few changes to the Indian XI, but from what I heard they will be going with an unchanged XI from the second match.

I think the in tomorrow’s match too, the Sri Lanka team will win as they are leading the series and will enter with full confidence in the ground tomorrow. The Indian team has all the players, those who have the ability to change the game momentum but still they are losing against Sri Lanka.

I think India lost the ODI match after three years against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won an ODI match after 2021. The final match of the series is played tomorrow at Premadasa Stadium. According to the weather report rain prediction is more than 50% on the final match of the series. If rain abounded the match, then Sri Lanka won the series. Sri Lanka wins the series after 27 runs. last time in 1997, Sri Lanka won the series against India. If rain didn't disturb the match, then India had a strong chance of winning the match because they have ability to come back strongly and level the series. Sri Lanka has quality spin bowling that will help him to win the last match of the series.

India was the strongest team but Sri Lanka team showed their great performance to win the ODI match after three years which is the most gratifying for Sri Lanka. But if India can't win today's match then Sri Lanka will definitely win the series and if the match is delayed due to rain then Sri Lanka will win the series.  But currently the weather conditions are not very good due to which the chances of rain are very high and if it starts raining then it is very good for the Sri Lankan team. If rain doesn't play the game till the end then definitely India has a chance to win the match as India will try to play their best in today's match against Sri Lanka.

[Fuso.hp]

Team India is going to play the third and final ODI match of the series against Sri Lanka today. Although there are many achievements in the T20 series, there is no achievement in the ODI series so far for Team India. The third ODI match is their last chance if they win this match then maybe the series will be tied but if for some reason they lose this match then India will lose the series to Sri Lanka without winning any match in this series. 

The toss is very important for India in the first two matches as they did not succeed by batting later. If Team India wins the toss then they have to decide to bat first without thinking and try to set a good target by batting first. If they can put up 280 plus runs on the scoreboard then Team India will be in a much safer position in terms of wickets.

 The onus is on Rohit Sharma today as he hasn't got many runs with the bat in the last two ODIs and it will surely put pressure on him to deliver runs in the third match.

Srilanka vs India 3rd ODI

So today is the 3rd and the final match between India and Srilanka. So this will be very interesting match because first match was tied. And the second match was also interesting and the Srilanka comeback surprised everyone and they won the last match. So today match will be tough because India will try to tie the series and Srilanka will try to win the series so this match is really important for both teams. My best wishes are with Srilanka because India has won the T20 series and Srilanka deserves to win this.

Yes, today will be the 3rd match of India vs Sri Lanka moderate ODI series. Indian batsmen have performed poorly in the last two matches due to which India could not win the last 2 matches. Today is an important match for both the teams, but more important for India. Because if India loses today then this series will be lost, so India has to win today to tie the series. On the other hand, Sri Lanka is leading the series with 1 match tied and 1 match won, if Sri Lanka wins today they will win the series. But I was disappointed with India's performance, a team with a strong batting line-up like India can't chase a small run target. Today we hope Indian batsmen will bat patiently and perform well. Today it is difficult to predict which team will win the match. I can see the possibility of victory for both the teams. Let's see which team can win today.

[libert19]

I was hoping for some changes in Indian XI today, but looking at 15 men squad, not too sure anymore, the most I expect is Riyan to play at spot of Iyer, having seen Riyan's bowling sucesss in prior T20, coach/captain might feel like playing him.

I'm expecting Kohli to play good knock today, because he's known to do so in crucial matches.

Virat Kohli is best batter and he is big match player. Sri Lankan team is dominant in this series but we expected easy win by Indian team but now there are no chances of win of this series by Indian team . If Indian team has to chase the score,then there are less chances of Indian team win but If Indian team will play first inning and will score 300 runs then match will be one sided. Indian bowling attack is perfect so they should play first inning and they should set 250 + runs and if they became successful to score 250+ runs then Indian team will win next match easily. Indian middle order is not performing well and that's why they lose last match and first match was draw.If middle order and lower middle order took the responsibility of this match then we will see easy win. Great performance by Sri Lankan team.

[Minor Miner]

Pakistan A vs Bangladesh A

Yes they played there 2nd unofficial ODI match. In which we can see that how Pakistan A performed. There performance was excellent.
Bangladesh A team was looking much weaker as compare to Pakistan A team. Bangladesh A team took the first turn in batting and they made only 78 runs because Pakistan A bowling was very good. Mohammad Imran destroyed 3 Players of Bangladesh A team. Khurram Shahzad, Jahandad Khan and Mubasir Khan destroyed 2,2,2 players and at the end Arafat Minhas collected 1 wicket. Means the whole team contributed in team win.
Well Pakistan A started their turn in batting and they chased the target in 17 overs with the lost of 2 wickets. Congratulations to Pakistan A team.

The batsmen of Bangladesh have batted like fools. I am very upset to see such erratic and bad batting from this team. It was unofficial match. However, there were several players of the Bangladesh national team in the squad. Even then, the Bangladesh team managed to collect only 78 runs. Tanzim Shakib, Emon, Afif and Shamim perform in the Bangladesh national team. Even then they collected only 78 runs in the 50 over match. Bangladesh needs to bat more responsibly.

There was no chance that Pakistan would be defeated on a target of just 78 runs. I thought Pakistan would win without losing any wicket. But Pakistan lost two wickets to collect 79 runs. Pakistan team collected 79 runs in just 17 overs. Usman Khan was unbeaten with 39 runs. But Sahibzada Farhan could not add any runs to the scoreboard.

[Popkon6]

Abhishek Fernando and Pathum Nishanka entered the field as opening batsmen. They performed well in the power play although wickets did not fall but the Sri Lankan team could not go ahead in terms of runs. Scored 41 runs in 10 overs, but if the Sri Lankan team performs like this, they will not be able to score more runs in the end.

 Maybe can score 180 runs, should never compete with Indian team with 180 runs target. currently India team must have good batting performance and bowling performance to win this match. In terms of bowling, the Indian team has put a lot of pressure on the Sri Lankan team in this match, but so far the bowlers of the India teams have not been able to collect wickets.

In terms of bowling, the Indian team has put a lot of pressure on the Sri Lankan team in this match, but so far the bowlers of the India teams have not been able to collect wickets.

Sri Lanka managed to get off to a good start in today's match. Although the two openers of Sri Lanka could not bat well in the last two matches, the Sri Lankan team collected 89 runs from the opening pair in today's match. Pathum Nissanka was dismissed with 45 runs and Abhishek Fernando remained unbeaten with 43 runs. At the end of 20 overs, Sri Lanka team's collection is 89/1.

Today's match is also being held in Colombo. So if the Sri Lankan team can set a target of around 250 then their chances of winning are high. It is very difficult to win by batting against a big target on this pitch in the second innings. And right now the Sri Lankan batsmen are batting very responsibly. Looks like Sri Lanka team will collect more than 250 today.
