ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Vaskiy]

When I was checking the score in the first powerplay of the game, I always found something good for India and when I checked it at 8.3 overs, Bangladesh was struggling with the loss of 5 wickets at just 35 runs. However the next two players were so expensive for India.
Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali played an amazing innings and when Bangaldesh lost its next wicket of Jaker Ali, they reached to 189 runs. They used a lot of balls but there was no other option for the Bangladesh but to keep wickets in hand.  Towhid Hridoy made a century however Bangladesh will lose this match.

The only thing I'm thinking about this match is how four Bangladesh batsmen got out for zero runs. Even those who don't understand cricket well might say that these batsmen don't know how to bat. It is almost certain that Bangladesh will lose today, but these four batsmen should be held most accountable for this match. Soumya Sarkar, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim and Tanjim Hasan Shakib, the players I mentioned here all got out for zero runs today. The Bangladesh team was disoriented from the moment they lost five wickets for 35 runs, at such a time Towhid Hridoy and Zaker Ali were able to take the team to a good position.

Indeed this is sad, not only for the Bangladesh team but also for their fans. Yeah a team can lose a match but not in this manner. There are a lot of zero runs made by the Bangladesh batsmen today. Luckily for them Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali had a big long partnership, otherwise they could not have reached to 150 even.

In the bowling department too, there was not any spell where the other team could have faced any problem. Rishad Hossain took 2 wickets and other than this, there is nothing spectacular about them.

The Bangladesh team has a good batting and bowling lineup.  Once the Bangladesh team won against India, the government announced the day as a national holiday. From then on, the Indian team never found Bangladesh a small team. The team used to give its best, but India used to defeat them. Today also it looks like the same. At the beginning, the Bangladesh team's performance is bad. However, Hridoy and Ali played awesomely to reach 228 runs. India needs another 63 runs in 82 balls. Gill is leading the team, and Rahul was dropped at 9 runs, and he's giving support. Rohit Sharma reached 11000+ runs in ODI. India would win the match by 45^th over.

If Shubman Gill had not batted responsibly, India's path to victory in this match would have been even  more difficult. Now I do not see any possibility of India losing the match. Gill is batting very well. At the same time , Kl Rahul is also playing very carefully.

India's total in 39 overs is 187/4.78 runs and Gill and Rahul's total is 20 runs. India needs only 42 runs. Since India has lost only 4 wickets. I do not see any possibility of their defeat in this match at the moment . Apart from Rahul and Gill, Hardik pandya and jaadeja have the ability to play big innings

There is no chance of India losing on a batting-friendly pitch, meaning India has already defeated Bangladesh by a huge margin of six wickets. Bangladesh will not be able to win any matches in this Champions Trophy, especially since Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hasan and several players in the Bangladesh squad have a record of poor performance in most matches. If Bangladesh's Tanjid Hasan and Zaker Ali had not performed well today, Bangladesh's maximum total would have been 120.

[Out of mind]

India won by 6 wickets today and they were able to collect their two important points in the points table. India's bowling performance was also excellent in today's match, besides they did well in batting. Shubman Gill batted exceptionally, he scored a century today and remained unbeaten, scoring 101 runs. However, this batsman of India batted with great patience. India defeated Bangladesh very easily today due to its good batting performance, but if the Bangladesh team could have increased their run count a little more, then the match would have been a tense fight between the two teams. But the opening batsmen of the Bangladesh team batted badly in the beginning and due to such a situation, they had to lose today's match.

Second match of competition ICC Championship Trophy 2025 was successfully finished this day and this match fully completed with no issue and completely this game was one side. India squad quite stronger and favourite squad in this competition. Bangladesh squad was begun match first with batting Inning by winning toss task. Their members managed to collect 228 scores as a defend which was low quality for India squad and India squad simply achieved all scores by playing 46.3 overs and lost 4 batter wickets. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill both build strong batting partnership and both managed to collect 41 and 101 scores respectively. Mohammed Shami played crucial role by picking up 5 significant wickets of Bangladesh batters. With other bowlers also supported their squad Axar Patel and Harshit Rana, both also cleared out 3 and 2 wickets respectively.

[virasog]

India's team has scored 118 runs in 24 overs with the loss of just 2 wickets, if they can collect this amount, India will definitely win. But Bangladesh's poor performance has also been in terms of batting and bowling and fielding. There was a possibility of being run out some time ago but it could not be done, because missing such a run out means taking the Indian team towards victory.
 The captain of the Bangladesh team needs more experience, because of his lack of proper control, the Bangladesh team is not able to perform well in this match. If India could have put the batsmen under pressure from the beginning, then Bangladesh could have played a competitive match.

India won the game, and Virat Kohli was not looking as strong as he could have been. However, India has one of the best teams in this Champions Trophy, and each and every single player played with consistency, so overall, Virat's poor batting is not hurting the Indian team either.

Shubman Gill scored a single century and was the player of the game. KL Rahul also made a huge impact in the game, and he could be a good option for Team India only for one day. He could be tried in test matches, too, but in T20 matches, he often out in the first powerplay.

[Haunebu]

India should have finished the match way earlier thanks to the small target. Bangladesh going from 50/5 to 228 stunned me considering how they were struggling in the initial overs. Bumrah would have made sure they didn't cross 200.

Anyway, I wonder how much longer Kohli will continue being a burden to the entire team. Just glad that Rohit is playing consistently well again after ages.

The 2nd match between  India and Bangladesh was held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to batting first. India team won game by 6 wickets and 21 balls. India is a strong team and  they played amazing and got easy win. Bangladesh team set a record total runs 228 and lost the match. India chased a record total runs for 231 and won the match. India woman is very talented and their cricket style is also very unique. Watching their player energy and enjoying the match is a lost of fun. Fans are hope full that India will continue to deliver such steller performance in the next matches game. The best batting performance in the India team was by Shubman Gill scored 101 runs and 129 balls hitting 9 fours and 2 sixs. Congratulations to India for their upcoming matches.

India got good start of there CT by winning there opening game against Bangladesh. The target was not huge but Indian batsmen dragged the game to 47th over. Virat Kohli is to India what Babar Azam is to Pakistan i.e. big name but not performing. No surprise from Bangladesh, such batting is expected from them. What's good for Bangladesh in this game is 154 runs partnership between Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali, it's the highest 6th wicket partnership for Bangladesh in ODI cricket. India got there big game coming up against Pakistan on 23rd Feb and India is favourite for that game.

We had predicted that India would win against a team like Bangladesh. Bangladesh is one of the weakest teams in the Champions Trophy. It would not be surprising if Bangladesh does not win a single match. And this possibility is high.

Bangladesh lost 5 wickets today for just 35 runs. Even then, due to the partnership of Hridoy and Jaker Ali, the team managed to score 228 runs. This was not a big target for India. India reached the target of victory by losing 4 wickets. India did not fall under much pressure in this match.

If Shubman Gill had not batted responsibly, India's path to victory in this match would have been even  more difficult. Now I do not see any possibility of India losing the match. Gill is batting very well. At the same time , Kl Rahul is also playing very carefully.

Why do we think that of Gill didn't played well today, India may lose or have a difficult situation? Indian team does not depend on one player. If Shubman Gill was out early, who knows KL Rahul would have gone to make a big total (he already made 41 not out). Even Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, who didn't get a chance to bat today, they are also capable of taking India home. We should know that the Indian batting line is not only strong, but they bat down the order, making it tough for the opponents to restrict runs.

Shubman Gill batted brilliantly today. Gill remained unbeaten on 101 off 129 balls. Kohli, Iyer and Patel could not stay at the crease for long but Gill remained at the crease from the start of the innings. And due to Gill's responsible batting, India managed to score 229 runs quite easily.

India is a very strong team. India is one of the favourites for the Champions Trophy title. So we expected an easy win for India against Bangladesh. India has fulfilled our expectations. I consider India and New Zealand to be the favourites for the Champions Trophy title. Both the teams started their journey of the Champions Trophy with a win.

[Cheema02]

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.

India had an outstanding performance in its first match for the Champions Trophy, beating Bangladesh by 6 wickets. Indian team chased down the target 231 runs in a loss of just 4 wickets. Bangladesh top order totally failed in this match lost his five wickets in just 35 runs but after that jaker ali and Towhid Hridoy played an wondefull inning that assisted Bangladesh to score some decent total on borad. Towhid Hridoy played an well deserved century but thier bowler's didn't picked wickets. The man of the Match is Shubman Gill for his amazing batting performance scored a well deserved century and remain unbeaten at 101 runs and Indian team easily chase down the target. Tomorrow, an important match of the champion trophy will be played between South Africa and Afghanistan at Karachi Stadium.

The way Bangladesh started their innings, there was a big chance of losing all the wickets before 150. Even then, Bangladesh was able to give a target of 200+. But it was not enough to win against a strong team like India.

Indian batsmen played very well. Shubman Gill scored a century in the first match. Also, Rohit Sharma is in quite good form. Now if Virat Kohli can return to form, then the Indian team will become even stronger. But we have not seen a big innings from Kohli for a long time. India will face their arch-enemy Pakistan in their next match. I hope Kohli plays a big innings against Pakistan.

[JSRAW]

India should have finished the match way earlier thanks to the small target. Bangladesh going from 50/5 to 228 stunned me considering how they were struggling in the initial overs. Bumrah would have made sure they didn't cross 200.

Anyway, I wonder how much longer Kohli will continue being a burden to the entire team. Just glad that Rohit is playing consistently well again after ages.

I won't call him a burden in the ODI format, he's still good and will mint a few more tons.

All Kohli has to do is be careful against spinners, his game against spin took a big hit and any Tom Dick Harry could claim his wicket if the bowler can roll his arm.

[Mahdirakib]

Bumrah would have made sure they didn't cross 200.

Bangladesh wouldn't even able to cross 100 runs if Bumrah was available to play. Mohammed Shami has bowled quite well today. It will be good for India if he can perform in the same way like he did it in the last ODI world cup. He has taken some important wickets today. I thought Shami would get the man of the match award, but it was given to Shubman Gill for his responsible batting performance.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
2nd match, group A was played today
Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat.  The opening batsmen of Bangladesh did not have a good start.Tanzid Hasan scored 25 from 25 balls, Soumya Sarkar scored 0 runs from 5 balls, Najmul Hossain Santo scored 0 runs from 2 balls, Mehidy Hassan Miraz scored 0 runs from 10 balls.  How they got started is quite unexpected.  towhad hridoy scored a brilliant century with 100 runs off 118 balls and tried to give his best in the match. If others like towhad hridoy could have stayed on the field then maybe they could have won the match.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma and Shubam Gill did very well in the beginning. Rohit Sharma took 41 runs from 36 balls, Shubam Gill scored a brilliant century with 101 runs from 129 balls. Shubam Gill's century was enough to win.  Indian won the match comfortably without pressure.  Bangladesh bowlers could not bowl well, on the other hand, Indian bowlers bowled very well. All in all, it can be said that Bangladesh's preparation was not good.

We should know that the Indian batting line is not only strong, but they bat down the order, making it tough for the opponents to restrict runs.

Shubman Gill batted brilliantly today. Gill remained unbeaten on 101 off 129 balls. Kohli, Iyer and Patel could not stay at the crease for long but Gill remained at the crease from the start of the innings. And due to Gill's responsible batting, India managed to score 229 runs quite easily.

India is a very strong team. India is one of the favourites for the Champions Trophy title. So we expected an easy win for India against Bangladesh. India has fulfilled our expectations. I consider India and New Zealand to be the favourites for the Champions Trophy title. Both the teams started their journey of the Champions Trophy with a win.

The Indian team is all strong but this batsman scored 101 runs in this match which was quite high.  Had he not got out and played well, he could have won the entire match single-handedly and scored 228 runs.  Usually one or two players in the team play better but in this match Shubman had a good opportunity which he took full advantage of and scored the most runs and won the match.

It is predicted by Bangladesh and many people know that the way it will play cricket, it will go to the end of this ICC and will be a very strong competition in the final match.  Bangladesh is not strong enough to defeat India as India's performance and record is strong enough for Bangladesh to lose this match easily.  I also wanted to say this but you said it because both teams are very strong and their defense is also very strong due to which they are being taken as favourites.

India vs Bangladesh game, today 2 nd game of Championship trophy was played today and ended now. Bangladesh team won toss and elected to batting first and gave chance bowling to India team. Bangladesh team set 228 runs target in 50 overs by losing all wickets. I already predicted that Bangladesh team lost this game and this game was totally one sided. India team won game by 6 wickets and 21 balls remaining. Shami showed great help in bowling and he took down 5 wickets in 10 overs and gave 53 runs. Harshit also played good and bowled out 3 wickets in 7.4 overs and Giving 31 runs. India won this game easily and Gill made a brilliant century 101 runs in 129 balls and hitted nine 4s and two 6s. Congratulations India team to win the easy game.

The winner of this match was clearly seen as Bangladesh is not a strong team due to which India beat them with their strong play.  Bangladesh batsmen have played well, if their target had been higher then Indian batsmen could have achieved this target as well.  If the Bangladeshi bowlers had played well, they would have benefited more because India's bowlers are strong, but their bowlers are focus more on stopping runs and taking wickets.  If the Bangladeshi bowlers put their efforts there, they might have been able to defeat India.  Your prediction was absolutely correct and you have predicted wisely because the way Bangladesh played it was telling that they will not win this match.  Bangladesh batsmen scored very few runs in the beginning due to which their target could not be so big.
