ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

I didn't imagine Pakistan would play so badly In today's match, only Babar Azam is still holding the game. If this legendary player gets out, the Pakistan team will be all out quickly.
in their first match, I noticed the weakness in their batting performance, the Pakistani batsmen did a lot of bad batting.
The Pakistan team did not get off to a very good start in their home ground against New Zealand in the first match of the Champions Trophy and failed to please the audience.
Pakistan still needs to score 184 runs to win, Pakistan has now scored only 137 runs after losing 5 wickets.
Today's match has a 20% chance of Pakistan winning, while New Zealand has a chance of winning.

Match was ended and The 1st match between New Zealand and Pakistan was played at National Stadium. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowling first. New Zealand won game by 60 runs. New Zealand set a record total runs for 320 and won the match. Pakistan played poor and chased a recordtotal runs for 260 and lost the match. I hope Pakistan they will play better in the next match but they disappointed in this game. The performance of New Zealand team in the match was full strength and energy. Pakistan also has the potential to win but they need more hardworking and fix errors. The best batting performance in New Zealand team was by Tom Latham scored 118 runs and 104 balls hitting 10 fours and 3 sixs. Congratulations to New Zealand for their upcoming matches.

This match also did not go in Pakistan favor because their playing style was very poor and weak due to which they lost in the first match.  Pakistan decision was not successful, but in their decision Pakistan's bowler played badly and took such a big target that their batsmen could not fulfill and lose the match.  This is their major success in which they have won and weakened Pakistan.  Had they played well and played fast their batsmen could have achieved this target, and their batsmen have also lost a lot of wickets.  Pakistan was also expected to play well against New Zealand in the tri-nation series, but they failed to do so and lost the match.  This time too it is futile to expect from Pakistan but Pakistan should play well in the next match.  This will improve their strength if they cannot play well, they will become weak.

Congratulations to the New Zealand cricket team for their first ever opening match winning it with a very good performance. I had said at the beginning of New Zealand's performance and predicted that they might win this match against Pakistan but really they have performed very well in their first opening match and won. However Pakistan tried a lot but they failed and were all out for 260 runs to achieve the target of 320 runs given by New Zealand. Anyway, best of luck to Pakistan in the next match.

Bangladesh, New Zealand, Pakistan, India will qualify for two groups-A group A. We can easily assume that New Zealand and India will qualify for qualifying. New Zealand are already at the top of the points table with full points by defeating Pakistan. If India defeated Bangladesh in today's match, many points in India and New Zealand will be at the top. Moreover, Bangladesh will not be able to win the match with India and New Zealand so the chances of qualifying Bangladesh and Pakistan are very low.

hahaha, I am not surprised at all by the performance of Pakistan's batsmen. I am used to seeing such performances. On the contrary, I would have been more surprised if Pakistan's batsmen had performed well.

Pakistan has scored only 29 runs in 11.2 overs. Pakistan is not able to score even at an average of three runs per over. They may have forgotten that New Zealand has given a huge target of 321 runs. Batting against such a huge target, Pakistan has fallen behind early on. Moreover, Pakistan has already lost two important wickets in Saud Shakeel and Rizwan. I am not expecting to see a comeback from Pakistan in this match.

Pakistan has performed well, which is surprising and pray for their victory.  Pakistan has already lost 2 matches against New Zealand and they have also lost all these ODI matches.  Those who are aware of Pakistan's performance expected that Pakistan will lose this match as well.  And happy too because they were going to beat a strong team like New Zealand.

Their batsmen played badly over 6 overs.  This is the biggest weakness of Pakistan that they waste the balls very much due to which they do not get runs and they are also not able to achieve the target.  Yes they were thinking that the target was too low because their bowler sat down and bowled more dirt which gave them such a big target and on the contrary their batsmen also scored 260 runs and the whole team was out in 46 overs.  Their batsmen could have achieved this target if they had saved their wickets and early overs.

New Zealand defeated Pakistan in the first match of the Champions Trophy. Although Pakistan is the hosting country, Pakistan lost to New Zealand by a huge margin of 60 runs. New Zealand set a target of 321 runs for Pakistan, as a result Pakistan lost 2 wickets under pressure early on. Later, Pakistan's Babar Azam tried, but Pakistan could not hold on to the match until the end, as a result Pakistan lost by 60 runs.

Pakistan usually starts poorly, and on top of that New Zealand's form has been quite good in the recent months. So I would say no big surprise as such. Both Will Young and Tom Latham scored centuries, and then Glenn Phillips added fireworks towards the end. Once again, the absence of a quality spinner is creating trouble for Pakistan. Abrar Ahmed did a decent job, supported by part-timers Khushdil Shah and Salman Agha. But gone are the days when Saqlain Mushtaq or Danish Kaneria would have ripped through the opposition batting lineup.

Match was very interesting. And I like Pakistan first move because they changed the opening to try if its work but it didn't work. They were well but unfortunately this team is really unpredictable and they can surprise anytime. Pakistan tried well to collect the wicket of Will Young but bowlers were not able to collect his wicket. By the way New Zealand gave a handsome target which was not easy. And Pakistan really tried very well but they didn't able to catch and all team got out at 260 runs. By they way this was the first match. So let's see what will Pakistan do in next games.

I am a bit skeptical about Pakistan's chances this time. Their pace bowlers are horribly out of form. Yesterday they tried Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, and all three proved to be expensive. And then they don't have quality spinners in their team. Saud Shakeel opened the batting and went back to the pavilion with a single digit score. Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman were also unable to handle the New Zealand bowlers properly, and then apart from Khushdil Shah the lower order was a complete failure.

I also liked that Pakistan tried something new at start and you are right it did not work out. Pakistan is team that can surprise and that is what makes them fun to watch. They played really hard against New Zealand. New Zealand team set difficult goal for Pakistan to reach and even though Pakistan tried their best they did not quite make it. Letting Will Young stay in game was big mistake but mistakes happen in cricket. As you said this was just first match so let's see how Pakistan does in their next games.

I won't blame the Pakistani batsmen because they tried hard to score big runs but the Pakistani bowlers couldn't put any pressure on the New Zealand batsmen, especially Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afrin, Haris Rauf, all of them are completely out of form right now. In yesterday's match, New Zealand batsmen were able to keep them in a controlled position till the 40th over, but in the last overs, Pakistan's bowlers completely lost control and gave away runs close to 16 in most of the overs. That is why they are believed to have lost yesterday's match due to poor bowling.

The second match of the ICC Cricket Champions Trophy 2025 will be between Bangladesh vs India. The two teams that will participate in today's match are very strong, although many may think that Bangladesh is a little less strong than India, I think that Bangladesh is never less strong. We saw the first match and everyone put Pakistan ahead while making predictions because we all thought that Pakistan would win with their best performance on their own field, but Pakistan could not perform very well against New Zealand. So today we focus on the game between Bangladesh and India, for which I am putting my favorite team Bangladesh ahead, I hope that Bangladesh will defeat India and win today's match. This is my prediction, but you make your own predictions and make predictions for your favorite team.

With the way Pakistan performed yesterday, what hype can you have for their match against India? Guys shown no resilience, gave up fight from the very start of their innings.

Meanwhile, NZ, they have set high standards for rest of teams with this game, they were excellent in all three fields — batting, bowling and fielding.

Glenn Phillips have been bought by GT this IPL season, hopefully better sense prevails and they keep him in playing XI, guy is no brainer to have in your squad.

In fact, it is impossible to say when something bad will happen on the field of play. Although Pakistan's bowlers were able to control the ball until the 16th over, after the 16th over, their bowlers really could not control the ball very well. However, yesterday's game was completely under New Zealand's control, due to which they got a beautiful victory in yesterday's match.

Bangladesh vs India will face off today and Bangladesh has decided to bat after winning the toss. I think Bangladesh team will definitely play their best performance in today's match and will bat well. I am confident in Bangladesh players and they might give a great reply by defeating India in today's match. I support Bangladesh team and if they can perform well then they can put pressure on India. Although today's match is more likely for India to win than Bangladesh but I believe and I am confident in my country's players that they might definitely play well against India today.

A humiliating defeat for host Pakistan on the 1st match of ICC champions trophy. Pakistan's team has now been consistently performing bad. Their game had been more depended on how the bowlers performed but their bowlers were destroyed by New Zealand team specially from Will Young and Latham. Chasing a high score of 321, they played a bit aggressive but kept losing their wickets. They were short of 60 runs when they were all out in the 48th over.

On the 2nd match today that features India which makes the game being hosted in Dubai, Bangladesh is another poorly performing team. But India has also been infamous for failure in important tournaments.

The much-anticipated match between Bangladesh and India has already begun. The Bangladesh cricket team is batting first today at the start of this match, but at this stage it can be said that the Bangladesh cricket team is not able to focus properly on their batting. Bangladesh stumbled early in the innings as their opening batsman Soumya Sarkar was already out. Actually his batting style doesn't seem convenient to me at all, he should have taken more responsibility.

Another batsman of the Bangladesh team has already been out, meaning the captain of the Bangladesh team has been out. Now it remains to be seen which batsman in the Bangladesh team will be able to handle this pressure properly.

[libert19]

Chasing a high score of 321, they played a bit aggressive but kept losing their wickets.

They didn't play aggresive when they needed to though, wasted whole powerplay by making runs at about 3 RPO, only started to play aggresive around 30th over when they realized required run rate climbing up but by then it was too late.

We'll catch up with RRR later is almost always a recipe for disaster.

Not against Bangladesh though. Plus, India usually have smooth run during the group stages in icc tourneys, while in semis/finals they succumb to pressure.


Edit: India decimating Bangladesh and Rohit dropping dolly catch which could have been hat trick for Axar Patel.

This may be the worst-performing match between Bangladesh and India in Dubai. The way all the top batsmen of Bangladesh are getting out for zero runs, they will all be out before 100 runs. If any other team besides Bangladesh had made it to the Champions Trophy, we might not have seen such a poor performance in the match.

Based on the performance of the Bangladesh team at the moment, it is doubtful whether Bangladesh will be able to score a maximum of 100 runs today because at the moment Bangladesh has lost 5 wickets in 8 overs and scored only 35 runs. Bangladesh can never dream of winning with this performance. Today, the rivalry between India and Bangladesh in this match will not be good at all, India will easily defeat Bangladesh and win.

The first ICC match for the Pakistanis was very poor as Pakistan lost the first match against New Zealand.  Their second match today which is against Bangladesh and India will also be played like the first match as it also has a weak and a strong team.  Bangladesh team is batting first in which they are playing very bad because Indian bowlers are controlling Bangladesh with hard bowling due to which Bangladesh batsmen are not scoring much runs and because of this their batsmen can lose the match by making easy target in this match which will be a big loss for them.  Bangladesh batsmen have scored 35 runs in the first 9 overs and have lost 4 wickets.  If they play their next overs like this, they will be able to give away easy targets and India will take advantage of that to give an easy win.
