Pakistan A vs Bangladesh A

As we know that they have two matches before and one was won by Pakistan and the second one was not played due to rain. And weather forecast is saying that the weather is not good in Pakistan and especially in Islamabad too. So there are the chances that they will not play the 3rd ODI too. But may be the weather can give a chance to them to play.
Well Pakistan A is still strong as compare to Bangladesh A team so there are the chances of winning of Pakistan A team. So I hope they will perform well and will win this match too and the series also.

Once again the ODI match between Bangladesh A and Pakistan A team was abandoned, that is, ODI series two matches between them were abandoned due to rain. We noticed yesterday that the first day's play of the second Test match between Bangladesh International Cricket Team and Pakistan International Cricket Team was abandoned due to rain.
Is it monsoon season in Pakistan or is it raining in every stadium in their country? However, the two unofficial Test matches between Pakistan A and Bangladesh A were drawn but Pakistan A won the first match of the unofficial ODI series between them. As a result, the second and third unofficial ODI matches were abandoned due to rain, but Pakistan A team won the unofficial ODI series by a nil margin.

Today 2 nd day of test game was started now between international teams Pakistan and Bangladesh team and 1 st day no single ball was played because weather condition was poor and two more ODI was abandoned due to rain and these games abandoned of this series which was played between Pakistan A team and Bangladesh A team and these games were also host in Pakistan at Islamabad Stadium. Only 1 st game was played and other two games was abandoned. According to 1 st game, Pakistan A team won the game with big margin of balls and wickets. Bangladesh entire team was dismissed and they gave 183 runs target to Pakistan a team but Bangladesh A bowlers were no showed good effort and they lost this game by 8 wickets and 133 balls. Also Bangladesh A team lost this ODi series and also they lost past series test format.

Great news. Good to see South Africa + Namibia + Zimbabwe host a World Cup. The South African team will probably be filled with mostly new players with a couple of old players by then. The newbies really need to improve their performances by then.

The ICC always manages to do something shitty everytime. And this time they have done so by giving automatic qualification to Zimbabwe. Either they should do that for Zimbabwe and Namibia, or not for both of them. Here they have given automatic entry for a team that is weaker than Namibia, and asked Namibia to play the qualifiers. And regarding South Africa, they do have some great players emerging from the ranks. But I need to see how many of them stay in South Africa. After all, they have this shitty race based selection criteria.

Sri Lanka A vs South Africa A

Is there anyone here who watched first ODI match among Sri Lanka squad against South Africa squad that was played today?

Outcome of this squad was totally unexpected because before the start of this match I feel that South Africa A was emerged victorious in this match simply because their squad have much caliber and also their teams experience. But their squad disappointed me also their fans members. Sri Lanka A squad has begun this match first with batting Inning by collecting 298 scores off 50 overs inning which seem that this Defeating target was very challenging and hard to achieve it. Both Nuwanidu Fernando and Kamil Mishara fully supported their squad to secure this victory by displaying amazing performance in batting and managed 97 and 71 scores respectively. Chamindu Wickramasinghe batters also showcased their impressive fifty after wiping out the wickets of these batter Nuwanidu Fernando and Kamil Mishara . South Africa A sqaud was unable today to achieve huge scores and faced defeat by 93 scores.

South Africa A sqaud was unable today to achieve huge scores and faced defeat by 93 scores.

I didn't watch the match but I looked at the stats of the match. So according to that Sri Lanka A team was really in good form in this match. First of all their batting was really impressive. There are three names which are looking visible in batting line. First is Nuwanidu Fernando who made 97 runs. Second is Kamil Mishara who out on 71 runs and third one is Chamindu Wickramasinghe who made 55 runs. Other then there is no player who played well. And Srilanka collectively made 298 runs.
South Africa was trying well to chase the target but they got out at 205 runs. Tony de Zorzi was the one who go above 50 runs. Otherwise there is no one who crossed 50 runs. Congratulations to Srilanka A on their win.

From the start of the Sri Lanka innings, they did wonderful innings. The Sri Lanka lost one wicket at the start but after that their two players Kamil Mishara and Nuwanidu Fernando reached almost through the 100 but couldn’t make it.

Nuwanidu Fernando out on the 97 score. Just missed his century by the three runs. On the other hand, his partner Kamil Mishara was far from the century, he was out on 71. When the both lost the wicket then SriLanka had not found any great player who can play similiar long innings but they still made a decent target of 298 that was not chased by the South African team.

Another thing that i noticed that in "A" teams there is no one who named as the player of the match but if there would be then it must be dedicated to Nuwanidu Fernando.

The South Africa A team middle order is not good. Their openers gave them good start, we can’t blame to them. David Bedingham has not played well but overall top order is good.

Tony de Zorzi made more than fifty and Matthew Breetzke., Yes, I know Matthew Breetzke was wasting balls but at the same time, he at least stand with Tony de Zorzi and allowed him to play more balls because he was hitting hard and Matthew Breetzke was not wanted to break that momentum. However, in the bowling the South African is also weak Andile Phehlukwayo played with good economy and picked wickets while the other bowlers were affording many runs.

Sri Lanka A Outstanding performance winning the match by 93 runs against South Africa A. The Player Of The Match is Nuwanidu Fernando for his amazing batting performance scored 97 runs from 101 balls, unfortunately missed a well deserved century by 3 runs short but reached the team total 290 plus runs. While chasing down the target South Africa A only manged to score 205 runs all out. Sri lanka A bowling performance out classed especially Wanuja Sahan picked 3 important wickets by just giving 41 runs and Dushan Hemantha also picked 3 crucial wickets by giving 35 runs and helped his team to win this match easily.

In ODI matches it is usually necessary to perform batting in a patient manner, because if you do not perform patiently, the team will lose more chances.  But in this case the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team are doing a very strong batting performance and they are patient.  However, South Africa could not move forward in terms of bowling performance, due to which the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team got the opportunity to score more runs.

Sri Lanka A won by 93 runs against South Africa A in the 1st Unofficial ODI match at Senwes Park Stadium, South Africa. South Africa A won the toss and they opt to Bowl. Sri Lanka A  openers did brilliant batting. Kamil Mishara(71) and Nuwanidu Fernando(97) showed legendary performance ever. Besides Chamindu(55) also did his half century and total they collected  298-9 runs. As a response, South Africa A  started their batting and their start up was good enough. Tony de Zorzi(53) did half century and Dewald Brevis(38) did decent runs. But afterward rest of players start showing poor performance, lost their wickets with lower runs. And anyhow they able to collect 205-10 runs which is a huge difference in comparison of Targeted runs what had done by Sri Lanka A team and finally Sri Lanka A  archived the victory against South Africa A team

First of all, they had given a very big total to the South Africa A team. Another thing I have to mention is that the South Africa A team had given away a lot of extras. That’s why the total looked way bigger than it should have been. The discipline was not there from them.

On the other hand, the Sri Lanka team performed really well. They did a very good job of bowling out the South African team so cheaply. Only Tony from the South African team was able to score a half-century. The other players were unable to do much. And he also did not have good support from the other end. And South Africa A team lost wickets at regular intervals. Especially the middle order of the South African team absolutely collapsed. Fernando must feel bad because of missing out on a century. But his contribution was very important for his team to win this match.

Sri Lanka A batsmen have play very well in the 50 over innings and they have work hard and struggle and develope their pace well.  And if you se they have also lost 9 wickets.  But this target would be good and big.  But South Africa A batsmen could not meet this target and will lose the match.  But they tried very well but their speed and effort was not so special that they could win the match.  If their bowlers stop the runs it would have been an advantage for them.  But they could not succeed in this and will lose the match. They should improve their pace and try to play matches as well. Congratulations to Sri Lanka A for their win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.  South Africa A batsmen could have won the match but their batsmen kept lose their wickets and ended the match in 36 overs and would lose the match.  If their batsmen play calmly they could have score runs and even won the match.

Srilanka A vs South Africa A

So today is the second match between South Africa A and Srilanka A. And we have seen that how the Srilanka A performed in the first ODI match. They made 298 runs in 50 overs and South Africa was not able to chase that target. Means South Africa A team is looking weaker as compare to the Srilanka A team. I hope Srilanka A team will continue their performance and they will try to win this match too. The match is important because Srilanka will try to win the series but on the other hand South Africa will try to tir the series. So let's see who will be the winner.

The match is important because Srilanka will try to win the series but on the other hand South Africa will try to tir the series. So let's see who will be the winner.

Currently, Sri Lanka A team is visiting South Africa to play three unofficial ODI matches and two unofficial test matches against South Africa A team. In the first ODI match between these two teams, Sri Lanka A team batted first and performed brilliantly. They managed to beat South Africa at their home ground by 93 runs which still leads them to a one-nil lead in the series. Today will be the second match between them, this match I think is important for both the teams. Because if Sri Lanka wins today, they will ensure the series win, on the other hand, if South Africa wins, the series will be tied.

But if the South African players perform in the same way today as in the first match then they may be defeated by the Sri Lankan team. Because we saw that South Africa lost by many runs to Sri Lanka in the first ODI. So they need to improve in today's match.

May have also seen today's second match between these two teams. Sri Lanka A won the match by 31 runs against South Africa A in today's second ODI match too. However, although Sri Lanka A team players Nuwanidu Fernando and Kamil Mishra showed excellent performance in the first match, these two batsmen batted shamefully in the second match today. In today's match, Kamil Mishara scored 10 runs off 13 balls and Nuwanidu Fernando got out after collecting 2 runs off 13 balls. If these two great batsmen could have contributed a bit in today's match then the fans of Sri Lanka A team could have seen a bigger margin of victory in today's match.

Is there anyone here who watched first ODI match among Sri Lanka squad against South Africa squad that was played today?

Outcome of this squad was totally unexpected because before the start of this match I feel that South Africa A was emerged victorious in this match simply because their squad have much caliber and also their teams experience. But their squad disappointed me also their fans members. Sri Lanka A squad has begun this match first with batting Inning by collecting 298 scores off 50 overs inning which seem that this Defeating target was very challenging and hard to achieve it.

Chamindu Wickramasinghe batters also showcased their impressive fifty after wiping out the wickets of these batter Nuwanidu Fernando and Kamil Mishara . South Africa A sqaud was unable today to achieve huge scores and faced defeat by 93 scores.

Sri Lanka A and South Africa A played a competitive match, Sri Lanka performed very well in most of the matches. However, most of the matches that they have played in the present time have been due to the batting and bowling efforts that they have been able to give in this match. But the South Africa team players have started to perform very badly, already there seems to be a control problem according to their performance, maybe the captain is failing to control them properly in the South Africa team.

But the South Africa team players have started to perform very badly, already there seems to be a control problem according to their performance, maybe the captain is failing to control them properly in the South Africa team.

Sri Lanka A really surprised me with their performance. At this point, they are leading the 50-over series by a margin of 2-0. And this is despite the fact that South Africa A team consisted of several well known names, such as Kyle Verreynne, Dewald Brevis, Tony de Zorzi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Senuran Muthusamy and David Bedingham. After the 3-match 50 over series, there is a 4-day series coming up, which will comprise of two matches. Neil Brand will be captaining the South African side for this series.
