ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[BALIK]

Ireland started their one day cricket series against West Indies with big win beating them by 124 runs. This made their home fans very happy. Irish team batted first and scored strong total of 303 runs. Their top and middle batsmen all played well together.
When it was West Indies turn to bat they could not get going. Ireland bowlers bowled very well and used different types of deliveries. With good fielding this pressure made West Indies lose wickets and they were all out for just 179 runs.

This is an incredible result. First of all, West Indies were the favourites in this match. Ireland had little chance of winning. Second, Ireland secured victory by a huge margin of 124 runs. No one could have imagined that Ireland would win by a huge margin of 124 runs against a team as strong as West Indies.

Ireland started well. The two openers Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling played brilliantly. Ireland collected 109 runs from the opening pair. Balbirnie played an innings of 112 runs. Due to the responsible batting of the batsmen, Ireland gave a big target of 304 runs.

Even after Ireland gave a big target, I thought West Indies would win. Because West Indies' batting order is quite strong. But West Indies lost all their wickets in 34.1 overs. The team could only collect 179 runs. Barry McCarthy took 4 wickets and Dockrell took 3 wickets in 2 overs.

Some sort of fightback from West Indies. Both Paul Stirling and Cade Carmichael are back in pavilion. Harry Tector has joined Andy Balbirnie at the crease, but the latter has been very slow in scoring today. So far he has made 68 from 105 balls, at a strike rate of less than 65. Time has come for him to step up his scoring rate. They have a lot of batting to come, but doesn't have too many overs remaining. Lorcan Tucker, George Dockrell and Andy McBrine are next to come, and they do have depth in batting.

As I said, if Ireland could score more than 280 runs, then Ireland would have a better chance of winning, which is exactly what happened.
Ireland scored 303 runs and loss just 6 wickets.

On the other hand, the West Indies were all out for just 179 runs. When I saw Ireland cross 280, I thought Ireland would win, but I didn't expect it would be by such a big margin. As you said, the Irish team will have an advantage because of this match being held in Dublin, and at the same time, the Irish team is performing well.

The first ODI game of West Indies tour of Ireland was won by host country by a big margin of 124 runs, astonishing the audience. Batting first, Ireland put together an impressive total of 303 runs thanks to a collective effort from the top and middle order. The batsmen played with intent, rotating strike effectively and capitalizing on loose deliveries to set a challenging target.
In response, West Indies never really got going. Despite a steady start their innings quickly unraveled as Ireland's bowlers found rhythm and control. Tight lines, clever variations and energetic fielding saw wickets fall at regular intervals. West Indies eventually bowled out at 179 runs falling well short of the target. This victory is a hige boost for Irish cricket showcasing their progress and growing confidence in the international stage.

Ireland batted well from the beginning, especially Balbirnie, who completed a century and the captain Stirling, he was also able to score 50 runs. Due to which the score of the match was easy to make 303 runs. On the other hand, the West Indies team have some good players, but their performance is not consistent. They started losing wickets from the beginning of the match. The reliable players in the team, especially Brandon King, Evin Lewis and Shai Hope, could not do well properly, due to which the team suffered a big loss in the match.

When a team loses 5 wickets for 31 runs while chasing, it will not be easy for that team to win. In ODI matches, if the team cannot play with having wickets, then they are sure to lose that match.

[N.O]

Ireland has got off to a strong start against West Indies in their first ODI match. It is interesting, because both the openers (Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie) were in poor recent form. The match is taking place at Castle Avenue in Dublin, and therefore Irish batsmen have the home advantage. For now, they are taking on the West Indian bowlers with ease. Pacers such as Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph were not able to trouble the batsmen, while Gudakesh Motie is not getting much advantage from the track.

I only miss the West Indies team that everyone was afraid to play against and West Indies used to score a lot of runs. I miss the popular West Indian cricketers like Chris Gayle, Jason Holder, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo, Darren Sammy, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. During their time, West Indies was a very strong and dominant team in the cricket world. After them, I have not seen any star players in West Indies cricket. Although we still see some devastating cricketers like Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell in the West Indies team, but they are best for different leagues. They do not have a big role in the national team. In the golden era of West Indies, maybe their second or third row team would have easily defeated Ireland. However, all of that is in the past. Now we have to accept that the West Indies cricket team is slowly fading away.

Yes, Canada team is good than Oman team because their gameplay and their effort was very brilliant in past game

Well may be they will but currently Oman were really in true colors, because they crushed both top side first canada and then USA one after another in a row, which is phenomenal and totally unexpected from such unexperienced team. but through hard work and dedication they were making such things happened. Anyway they give really tough time to standing dominator of thier competition as they really restrict them on required, and thus after draw through super over they get that vital points, credit should goes to Oman captain both innings. because through that innings they get through that handsome victory, otherwise things were really diverting toward USA.

Really disappointed performance was showed Canada yesterday of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 tournament. Oman team won game by 15 runs. Oman team won toss and elected to batting first. The 68th match between Oman and Canada was played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill. Oman scored 217 runs in 50 overs and won the match. Canada failed to chased a record total runs for 202 and lost the match. I hope Canada they will play better in the upcoming match. Muhammad Nadeem was playing amazing for Oman team and won award. From my side Canada didn't play the match very well made very few runs and lost. The best batting performance in Oman man team was by Nadeem scored 76 runs and 77 balls and hitting 7 fours and 2 sixs.

After break, we found a great fight in competition ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 and this fight was held among Oman squad and USA squad. Unbelievable and unbeatable performance was display by Oman squad in yesterday match and USA expressed disappointing performance and faced defeat in match with close outcome. Oman squad was begun this match first with batting inning and their batters managed to collect 266 scores after playing 50 overs and their scores was not satisfied but I appreciated the performance of bowlers in bowling inning who succeeded to restrict USA squad to achieve their scores. Jatinder Singh played a long na wonderful inning in 50 overs inning and ALOS displayed strong support in super over, he collected 100 scores in 50 oners inning and in super over, he collected 13 scores.

It is certainly difficult to win against the United States of America by 266 runs. But the Oman team was able to show its skills in that match too. Samay Shrivastava bowled brilliantly and took three wickets. His billowing economy was also 7.55, Shakeel Ahmed and Aamir Kaleem had economies of 3.80 and 3.10 respectively. That is, the Oman team was able to show enough skill in terms of bowling. Moreover, they also won against Canada in the previous match. Due to winning two consecutive matches, the Oman team is now holding the 3^rd position in the points table of League 2. If such a performance continues, then it will not be difficult for them to reach the best position in the league.

The second match between the West Indies team and Ireland team already started after 5 over West Indies team to 31 run and lose their one big wicket, Brandon King. Even their current run rate is above 5.5 which was good enough if they can consist this run rate to the end.

But if they loose few more  wickets before taking 100 Run it would be very difficult to win this match also for them. Ireland is going good now and where the match is on also Dublin which gives them more favour like before the first match they have. So I can think that in this match they can win.

West Indies, which was once a popular team, is now in such a bad state that it is easy to lose to any team. Especially the team that has played with world-famous stars like Chris Gayle and Brian Lara, cannot now qualify for a place like the World Cup. They lost the first match of the three-match ODI series to Ireland by 124 runs. If they lose to Ireland today, then the series will definitely be lost. However, now the West Indies team is not the same as before, so it is not possible to guarantee that they will not lose to Ireland in today's match as well.

Not only West Indies but also some other teams like Bangladesh team, Pakistan team, Sri Lankan team have continuously dropped their performance after the retirement of their experience players and the current players are not able to perform as a replacement for any of their old experience players.

As a result you will see that Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lankan and West Indies teams are performing badly even with the teams that are performing badly. For example if you see Bangladesh team lost to United Arab Emirates in T20 series.

In this series we find Ireland good team because they win the first match due to which their power is see in right of win. In this second match too we are see a good game from Ireland. In this match the West Indies batsmen are not so fast because they are being work hard and run stop like in the first match due to which they will win this match too.West Indies still have more than half the inning in which they can give a good and strong target which will make this series interest. If they are play with the purpose of win the series they will definite win this match.The West Indies team can win against Ireland. But for this their batsmen should work hard and play well and achieve success. It has been a lot of hard work from Ireland because their bowler are play with an easy target and try to win the match.

After facing humiliating defeat in first ODI of this series against Ireland in second game West Indian batting done amazing job with Keacy Carty score his second ODI century which give them chance of posting good target while at the end 23 years old Matthew Forde level Ab de Devillier record of fasted ODI fifty as he score on just 16 balls.



Barbados born Matthew Forde came at 8th number for batting and stuck 8 sixes and 2 fours which bring his name in record books in just 10 games of his career but sadly rain hold their all performance and match ended without any ball in second inning now last game of this series is going to play on Sunday at Dublin.

West Indies played brilliantly in the second match, based on the brilliant innings of Keacy Carty and Matthew Forde, they set a very big target of 353 runs for Ireland, which was very difficult for Ireland. But West Indies were unlucky and could not play the second innings due to rain. The second innings was abandoned as the game was not played. Ireland is leading 1-0 in the 3-match series, if West Indies cannot win the last match, Ireland will have a chance to whitewash the series. There will be a chance for West Indies to equalize the series.

[Nanga Parbat]

Canada is playing much worse than Oman. Their batsmen had a good innings in which they could have given a strong target and strengthen their chances of win the match but their batsmen weakened themselves by playing badly, due to which it is not worth expecting much from their bowling because the target has been set at 212 due to which their bowling will not be very tough. Oman has the ability and strength to win, due to which we see them close to winning. If their batsmen play with as much effort as their bowling, we will see them succeed. The Canadian batsmen wasted their effort and could have won the match by playing well but they will be vulnerable to tough bowling and will be weaken in the match due to which they will now have to face difficulties.

There will be a chance for West Indies to equalize the series.

West Indies batting was outstanding today compared to what they have done in first ODI. But it's the weather who did favour to Ireland today and match was called off due to rain. Now best West Indies can do is to draw this series because only one game left in this series and Ireland leading the series 1-0. It's a worrying sign for West Indies cricket that there performance has gone down to an extent that they are losing to teams like Ireland. While on the other hand it's a good sign for Ireland cricket that there cricket is improving.

In the second ODI between West Indies and Ireland, the visitors delivered a stunning batting performance piling up a massive 352 runs for the loss of eight wickets. The highlights of the innings came from Matthew Forde who smashed a blistering 58 of just 19 balls, equaling the record for the fastest ODI half century in just 16 deliveries. His late innings fireworks provide the perfect boost after solid contributions from the top and middle order. Despite the high-scoring excitement the game ended in disappointment as persistent rain in Dublin had the final say. The game was going to be strongly competitive between both teams but the weather conditions didn't improve so the game was eventually declared a no result. It was an unfortunate end to what ciuld have been a thrilling contest especially after such an aggressive display by the West Indies batters. With the series still alive both teams will now turn their focus to the final ODI hoping for clear skies and an uninterrupted game to determine a rightful winner. The fans too will be hoping that the weather stays away so they can witness a full day of competitive cricket.

The second one day match between West Indies and Ireland delayed due to rain, it was going so well for the West Indies team as they scored upto 352 runs and Ireland surely would not able to chase this massive target. In the previous game Ireland somehow won it, that was so awesome hence today some gut feeling is there that Ireland may chase this impossible target. But I wanted to see the match because Ireland is also confident, as last time they scored upto 300, and today so far, West Indies has performed well. However, when the rain stops, hopefully, I think the overs may reduced but that didn't happen and the match was abandoned.

It is annoying when rain stops exciting match especially one that was going so well. West Indies did great scoring huge 352 runs which was amazing after losing their last game. With Keacy Carty scoring 100 and Matthew Forde hitting 50 runs really fast they were playing at their best. Ireland confidence from winning first game where they also scored over 300 runs definitely made things more interesting. Sadly rain ruined it. It is pretty common in cricket for game to be called off if it keeps raining mostly without even getting to play fewer overs. By the way I was expecting that West Indies would win this match. But unfortunately now there is no result.
