Pakistan tour of Australia

Tomorow we will see the first ODI match between Australia and Pakistan. The three match series will be played at MCG and i think Australia will have an upper hand in this series not only that Pakistan is in bad shape but also that this match is being played at Aussies Home ground so they have an advantage.
This has been priced in by the bookies too and they are giving 1.18 odds to Australia and if anyone want to bet on Pakistan, they can get 4.6 odds. Another thing to note is that Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head aren't playing this match.

Yes, The first ODI match between Pakistan and Australia started and first powerpaly is competed. Pakistan lowest score 36 runs in power play against Australia in last 5 years. Australia are hot favorite's to win this ODI match because they are familiar to home condition and strong team in ODI format. Pakistan current score is 47 runs in a loss of just 2 wickets in first 13 over of the match. Abdullah Shafique gift his wicket in simple leaving ball to Mitchell Starc. from Australia Mitchell Starc bowl a outstanding first spell picked 2 crucial wickets by just giving 19 runs. Babar Azam is playing at 29 runs from 31 balls and New Captain of Pakistan team Muhammad Rizwan is playing at 5 runs. The Patnerhsip between Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan is very important for Pakistan if they want to score a good total on board.

If Shafique and Saim Ayub could have batted normally and added some more runs to the team, it would have been difficult for Australia to win this match. Also, Babar Azam and Rizwan's batting cannot be said to have been very good. Babar Azam batted with 84 and Rizwan 61 strike rates. We saw in the end that Australia lost 8 wickets in chasing down 203 runs setted by Pakistan, if they could have added 30 more runs, the outcome of the match could have been a little different.

I have no complaints about Pakistani bowlers in today's match as they bowled well enough. Due to the low score, Pakistan was able to create a chance in today's match but could not implement it. Pakistan's series started with a 1 loss in the 3-match series. Both teams will try to do well in the upcoming matches.

It was a very close match for both the team. Pakistan weren’t  put much runs on the scoreboard but the chase was challenging for team Australia. Pakistan were really close. However though we couldn’t have seen any big partnership except Babar and Rizwan. If they would add more few runs the result might be different. I have noticed Nasir Shah played really well at tail and scored 40 at the crucial time. After that Australia didn’t start well but Smith and Inglis were on few runs which took them close to the match. Finally Australia beat Pakistan by 2 wickets. Well played both the team and really bowled well by both the team.

[virasog]

I see bad luck for Pakistan in the match between these two teams because Pakistan is not a strong enough team to win the match against Australia.Australia is a hardworking team anyway, even if they don't play at their home ground, they still have the upper hand.  Pakistan has to prepare themselves and play because if they play for formality then they have no benefit.These two players are most of the strong wall of this team.  But others still they will play with the hope of losing Pakistan and they will be able to defeat it.  But I feel that Pakistan will win one match but they will have trouble in the series.If Pakistan plays well then this series will be watched with interest otherwise Australia will win all the matches and end the series.There is an opportunity for Pakistan which they should not waste so they have to play their best.

I think both the teams failed in thier batting line up but it was Australia who was the winner at the end of the day.

Pakistan played their first game in the captaincy of Muhammad Rizwan. Pakistan did very good, yes can't perform well in batting and has not made good score but in the bowling there was the magic by the Pakistan team. At the end, the Naseem Shah has gone injured and cannot play the game that is why Muhammad Husnain has came that time to bowl the remaining balls of the Naseem Shah.

The Pakistan bowlers were defending the score greatly. The fear was only for Pat Cummins otherwise Starc was doting the most of the balls but at the same time, fear was for all the players.

Pakistani batsmen clearly disappointed us but the Pakistani bowlers did not as they picked almost 8 wickets of the Australia bastmen and does not let the Australian players to make 50 indiviually.

I am pretty sure, if the Pakistan would have batted second then Pakistan would easily win the game. Because as we can see Pakistan missed the win by some of the runs, but I hope in the remaining two matches, here will be good effort by the Pakistan team and will win the next games. They were so close to win the game. Let;s see what will happen next time.

Australia vs Pakistan Today's first ODI match will see two teams face off, we know that Australia is a strong team and they play much better than Pakistan. Pakistan team is not playing very well lately, their game is not improving, so Pakistan has very little chance of winning against Australia in today's match. I think if you bet on Australia in today's match, it is definitely possible to win, but if you bet on Pakistan, you will definitely lose, although the odds of betting are much higher in favor of Pakistan. However, Pakistan defeated England in their home ground, but the ODI series will be held in Australia's ground, so they may not regain their confidence in this match. In that case, Australia's victory in today's match is pretty much certain, so if you bet, you need to bet on Australia.

There is no doubt that Australia is a strong team.  Pakistan can neither perform well nor play well in comparison.  In this match only Pakistan batsmen gave a target of 203 which consisted of 50 over innings.  Pakistan's batsmen should have set a target of 300-plus, which could prove difficult for Australia.  But the Australian batsmen won the match by achieving this target in 34 overs.  Nor was Pakistan's bowling good enough to stop the run and win the match.  I predicted in 3 matches that Pakistan will lose this series.  Because Australia will not give such a chance that they will be weak in front of Pakistan and lose the match.  Pakistan will have to work hard themselves to win the match in which they will apply pressure and win the match by giving a difficult target.  But one thing is certain that Pakistan cannot win this series.  Congratulations to Australia for this win and may they play with the same pressure and fear throughout the series and win the match.

The Australian cricket team has won most of the few ODI matches that Australia and Pakistan have faced each other so far. Accordingly we thought Pakistan might lose to Australia in the first match as Australia is very strong at home. Australia cricket team won the ODI series against England before the series against Pakistan. Australia team players also performed well in the series against England. Maybe the series win against England gave the Australian cricketers a lot of confidence which led them to perform well in the first match against Pakistan.

Pakistan cricket team is batting first in the first ODI match between Australia and Pakistan. Despite deciding to bat first, the Pakistanis could not score many runs in this match as they scored only 203 runs for 10 wickets. With a target of 204 runs to bat, the Australian team easily won this match.

[Unknown Op]

Pakistan batted today and scored only 203 runs in the first innings, although this is not a big target for Australia. However, Australia was not able to bat well to meet this target, although I can see that the Australian team has lost six wickets at the moment. However, Australia was able to score runs relatively well, Josh Inglis and Steven Smith, both of whom have been able to reach this far in today's match, due to the good batting of these two. Moreover, all the other batsmen could not bat very well, according to which the Australian team could not do themselves well on the ground in today's match. However, Australia still needs to score 56 runs to win, although collecting this ram is not that challenging, but if the Pakistani team can bowl strongly, then it can definitely become challenging for Australia.

New one day competition has been successfully arrived and this time two top international squads were participated for clash number one is Pakistan squad and number two is Australia squad and both these two squad will engage total three one day matches in this Pakistan touring to Australia competition. Today first match of one day competition has been successfully completed and today again I am sad because Pakistan squad was unable to defeat Australia squad. Pakistan squad did not collect hard scores in first batting inning and their squad members just managed 203 scores with lost of all batter wickets. First two top order batters displayed shit performance and both create burden to squad. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam these two batters after losing first two starter batters, both worked hard to manage long partnership but sadly both Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were unable and collected 37 and 44 scores respectively. In bowling inning, Pakistani bowlers delivered full strength in bowling and they were very near to defend their scores just two more remain to pick because of low scores target Pakistan squad faced defeat in first match.

Pakistan played their first game in the captaincy of Muhammad Rizwan. Pakistan did very good, yes can't perform well in batting and has not made good score but in the bowling there was the magic by the Pakistan team. At the end, the Naseem Shah has gone injured and cannot play the game that is why Muhammad Husnain has came that time to bowl the remaining balls of the Naseem Shah.

Before the series, the Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc were saying that "we had fear about Babar Azam." Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins also mentioned about Babar Azam that 196 runs innings. Because they still not forget that 196 that was produced by Babar Azam in the test match in March 2022 against Australia. Babar Azam scored that 196 in so bad pitch. But now in this match, there was no fifty from any players, the highest score in the team was made by Muhammad Rizwan as he scored 44. While the second highest score was made by Naseem Shah which was 44 and after him Babar Azam with the score of 37.

Pakistani batsmen clearly disappointed us but the Pakistani bowlers did not as they picked almost 8 wickets of the Australia bastmen and does not let the Australian players to make 50 indiviually.

I am pretty sure, if the Pakistan would have batted second then Pakistan would easily win the game. Because as we can see Pakistan missed the win by some of the runs, but I hope in the remaining two matches, here will be good effort by the Pakistan team and will win the next games. They were so close to win the game. Let;s see what will happen next time.

Well maybe Pakistan could have won if they batted in the second innings but sadly batting first Pakistan scored only 203 which was not enough for a strong team in Australia. When Australia fell by eight wickets it looked as if Pakistan might miraculously win the match but Pat Cummins performed well in Haris Rauf's overs. Moreover, compared to other fast bowlers, Harris took relatively more runs in Rauf's overs, so Australia had no problem scoring 204 runs.
That means a target of 204 for Australia was not enough to win, no matter how many equations we calculate.

[As-Soon-As]

Pakistan team's bowling line and batting line are weak due to which they lost this match. Although the Australian team's wicket came at the last end, Pakistan could not create much pressure from the bowling side. In this match two bowlers of Pakistan team Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi performed well but other bowlers did not perform well. The match would have been the most competitive if only Pat Cummins could have been dismissed by Pakistan players, Pat Cummins has been the best performer in the last out of the Australian team.

Pakistan is not weak in bowling and batting at all I think because they may have lost their confidence due to which they could not perform so well in today's match. However, the bowling line of the Pakistan team was great but their batting line was not good. If they could have scored good runs then there would have been a chance to win today's match. Australia team won by just 2 wickets. If Pakistan team could have given a little more target then maybe Australia would have lost today's match. Anyway Pakistan team was not lucky to win the match due to which they won the first ODI match. Of course Pakistan team will have to regain confidence in the next match and play well.

Yep, In first ODi Pakistan played first and made 203 runs Pakistan team could not start their innings well they were losing wickets frequently which created pressure on Pakistan batsmans excellent bowling by Australian bowlers Mitchell Starc takes three wickets while Pat Cummins and Adam zampa took two two wickets. After brilliant bowling Australian team batting was also brilliant Their openers did not start innings well but their middle order played well Josh Inglis and Steve Smith played brilliant partnership which brought their team to close  a victory. Josh Inglis missed his fifty by just 1 run Pat Cummins played match winning inning of 32 runs and they successfully chased target with loss of 8 wickets Pakistan team fought hard but they could not finish the match well

[Mahdirakib]

Now who do you think will win the 3rd ODI ? Are you again going with England in this match ?

Without any hesitation, I will place a bet on England. The odds is also in favour of England now. Where it was balanced for the 2nd ODI match as West Indies had won the first one.
I wasn't expecting such a competitive ending of Pakistan vs Australia match. The target wasn't big, and Australian batsmen were doing pretty well. The collapse of middle order batting line-up had made it interesting. As always, Pat Cummins has shown his importance by being under pressure.

Pakistan batsmen's performance was not good at all. A target of 204 runs in the ODI format against a strong team like Australia was not enough to win. In my opinion Pakistan bowlers bowled well they tried very well. Australia lost 8 wickets to eventually win by 2 wickets. If Pakistan were able to give a 250+ target, it would have been difficult for Australia to win. Because Australia lost 8 wickets to make 204 runs and had only 2 wickets in hand. Australia won the first match to lead 1-0. Since the series will be of 3 matches, Australia will win the series if they win the next 1 match. I also think Australia will win the series.

First ODI match between Pakistan and Australia

The ODI series between Pakistan and Australia is going to be held from tomorrow. Two series will be played between Pakistan and Australia one ODI series and one T20I series. According to the ICC ODI ranking, Pakistan and Australia are side by side, that is, in the ICC ODI ranking, Australia is at number 2 and Pakistan team is at number three. Both teams are equal in terms of strength and performance in ODI format. Pakistan has recently defeated a strong team like England in their home soil in a Test series which has given confidence to all Pakistan players.

1 st odi game between Indian and Australia team was concluded today and this was held on stadium Melbourne. In this 1 st game, Australia team won toss and got a chance to take first bat or bowl and Australia team elected field first and gave a bowl chance to Pakistan team. 203 runs target of Pakistan team is not good in 50 overs and m.Starc took down 3 wickets in 10 overs and gave 33 runs and he also got a player of game award. Pat and Zampa both also showed great effort in bowling, Zampa picked 2 wickets in 10 overs and gave 64 runs. Pat also dismissed 2 wickets in 9.4 overs and gave 34 runs. Congratulations Australia to win this 1 st odi game and this was easy win to Australia team. Australia team chased down all runs in only 33.3 overs and lost 8 wickets. Smith made good progress in bat and he made 44 runs in 46 balls and hitted six 4s. Josh also played quite well and he also made 49 runs close to half century but unfortunately he did not complete it and lost wicket but his effort in game was excellent and he hitted four 4s and three 6s.

They were so close to win the game. Let;s see what will happen next time.

It's true that our bowling played the main character role in that match and firstly, we not only bat brilliantly in rest of Pakistani lineup but took almost rest of Australian wickets but unfortunately were unable to restrict Australians to filled the required Target, To be honest, I was expecting very ordinary innings from our main player Baber, and he even does decent according to his down fall but it was not enough for team and if rest of team add some more contribution, then may be results will divert in thier favor also Pakistan has some unexperienced new faces like saim, Kamran, Irfan instead of experience fakhar, imam and some other so that why they unable to scored big on Australian pitches. Hope they will comeback stronger in second where team batting lineup will add huge contribution

[Glen Hoddle]

Australia team won this match based on their experience, because the top batsmen played well and this match was under their control.  Although the players of Pakistan team performed for long but could not advance in terms of runs.  But if Pakistan team players could have reached 250 runs then it was definitely possible to win this match.  Because Australia team players were almost on the verge of collapsing, but Pakistan team players were lazy in terms of bowling.  While Haris Rauf has performed worst in terms of bowling and picking up all the wickets they are largely inexperienced in batting.

[Crypto Library]

Pakistan batsmen's performance was not good at all. A target of 204 runs in the ODI format against a strong team like Australia was not enough to win. In my opinion Pakistan bowlers bowled well they tried very well. Australia lost 8 wickets to eventually win by 2 wickets. If Pakistan were able to give a 250+ target, it would have been difficult for Australia to win. Because Australia lost 8 wickets to make 204 runs and had only 2 wickets in hand. Australia won the first match to lead 1-0. Since the series will be of 3 matches, Australia will win the series if they win the next 1 match. I also think Australia will win the series.

Yeap that is true that even we have to say that the Pakistani Batting performance is not good at this match but we should say that their bowlers did their best against the strong team Australian batters.
Moreover we also can't fully blame the Pakistani batters because this pitch was being a bowler friendly pitch as it also help to Pakistan to get 8 wickets of the Australian team as also feel when Australia loose their first two wickets before the first five over and as well in the last I thought may be there is still hope for paskistan but they take the end and Caption Pat Cummins  did also good in the last time.

Australia has won the first game very easily. This was really hard game and interesting; Pakistan was losing the game till the end of the first innings then Pakistan made good come back as Shaheen Shah and Haris Rauf picked the good wickets. The game was in problem then Sean Abbott has out after scoring 13 in the 11 balls and Starc has entered in the game, who was not making the runs because his partner Pat Cummins ordered him to do this as the captain. However, at the end Pat Cummins hit the four and did equal to the runs with the Pakistan's target. All in all, it was entertaining to watch the bowlers dominating in both the innings.

In today's match between Pakistan and Australia, the Australian team was able to keep the Pakistan team under pressure from the start. Australian bowlers dominated the entire match. Initially, Mitchell Starc's attack started the fall of Pakistan wickets. He got the wicket of Abdullah Shafique and the 2nd target was Saim Ayub. Thus Mitchell Starc managed to pick up 3 wickets. Due to India's early pressure, their score was not big.

Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first. Australia got an easy target as Pakistan failed to set big. But there is no way to say that Australia won the match easily. But as per the preconceived notions, my guess is that Australia will win this match. As Pakistan is not in a very strong position in cricket. Some feel that it is too early to say who will win the upcoming match as both teams have to gain momentum today.

[Nanga Parbat]

Today match was between Scotland and Nepal which was the 44th match of this year World Cup.  In which the batsmen of Nepal played only 1 ball while batting first.  After that, the match was delayed due to rain.I expected Nepal to win before the start of this match.  But due to this rain, the match will not be played because of Scotland luck.Nepal batsmen Asif and Anil chose to bat first.  But Anil played only 1 ball in which he could not score any runs.After a few minutes, the rain will end after the Nepalese batsmen will start batting again.  And could score only 2 runs in the first over.Nepal batsmen will have to score more runs with good effort and hard work.  For which Scotland find it difficult and lose the match.
