ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Nothingtodo]

Afghanistan team in today's match gave the top performance, and gave a befitting reply to the tiger batsmen of Bangladesh team. Especially when the attacking batsmen fell, Azmat Ullah and captain Hasmat Ullah Shahedi's left-handed batsman performed well in the last minute. And Mohammad Nabi and the Afghanistan team started the batting with Gurbas and Rahmat Era scoring half-centuries.
However, Afghanistan team has the ability to give a befitting reply in the ODI match this time, because Afghanistan team was whitewashed in the T20I match and in the ODI match this time Afghanistan team won the first battle of revenge.

Afghanistan's batsmen batted much better than Bangladesh's, especially since seven Afghan batsmen batted. Among them, only Sediqullah Atal scored single-digit 5 runs, and none of the others were out in single digits. Although Afghanistan lost two wickets in a row at 52 and 58 runs, the subsequent batsmen performed well enough to handle the pressure. However, once Bangladesh's batting collapse occurs, it is not possible for the Bangladeshi batsmen to handle that pressure. In other words, Afghanistan's bowlers performed better than the Bangladeshi bowlers, due to which the team was able to win very easily.

The Afghanistan team has already returned to good performance, although we cannot say that the Afghanistan team is good by studying the performance of winning a match. Because if the Afghanistan team performs well in the next match, then in the end it must be said that the Afghanistan team has returned to good performance. The Bangladesh team could not create pressure in terms of bowling, in the beginning Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Tanjim Shakib, these two bowlers, performed quite well and gave less runs.
But if the unique bowlers did not perform well, then they failed to create more pressure on the Afghanistan team, and taking this opportunity, the Afghan team's batsmen started scoring more runs and won at the last moment.

It's a good come back by Afghanistan after losing the T20 series 3-0. Credit for this victory goes to Afghanistan bowlers who restricted Bangladesh to low total of 221. Bangladesh lost three early wickets and then there is 99 runs partnership between Towhid Hridoy and Hasan but once Towhid Hridoy got out wickets once again start falling. Afghanistan batsmen didn't rushed in chasing the target but took there time and played sensibly to win the game.

Bangladeshi batsmen have shown poor mentality in the ODI format. They should have shown more responsibility in the ODI series. This ODI series is more important for them than the T20 series. They can increase the opportunity to directly play in the next ODI world cup by winning this series against Afghanistan. Now I have doubts about this. Their batsmen batted very slowly in the first ODI. The bowlers had nothing to do there.

Bangladesh's defeat in this match is definitely due to their batsmen. Bangladesh batted very badly. Especially the first three batsmen of the top order completely failed to play well. Hridoy and Mehedi batted a little well, but their batting was very slow. They could not bat even at a strike rate of 70.

Except for Hridoy and Miraz, no other batsman could play well. Bangladesh could only collect 221 runs. The pitch was not batting friendly, but even then it was not possible for Bangladesh to win against such a small target.

The two openers of Afghanistan were able to build a partnership of 50+. Also, the middle order batsmen also batted very responsibly. Afghanistan reached the target of victory by losing 5 wickets.

Your point about how fair it was that Afghanistan won and that we should wait to see whether they can win next match was quite good to make sure that they are really back in their winning ways. First bowlers such as Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Tanzim Shakib performed well in keeping down number of runs in initial parts of their victory against Bangladesh but other bowlers failed to keep up pressure. Afghan batters were highly smart to use this break in quality bowling, began to score more, and succeeded in winning in the end, which proved that victory was result of smart batting of Afghanistan against poor quality of bowling.

Bangladesh's batsmen should have batted more responsibly, Bangladesh's batsmen scored runs at the pace of a Test match and they could not play the entire over. Afghanistan's bowlers bowled very well, Afghanistan's bowlers bowled very aggressively from the start, due to which Bangladesh was all out for only 221. Bangladesh's performance against Afghanistan was very bad, Bangladesh performed badly in both batting and bowling. Afghanistan's batsmen batted very responsibly against the target of 222 given by Bangladesh, they won by 5 wickets against Bangladesh. The performance of Bangladesh's batsmen and bowlers in the ODI against Afghanistan clearly shows Bangladesh's batting weakness. Bangladesh will have to perform responsibly against Afghanistan in the second ODI, otherwise they will not win the second ODI.

[noormcs5]

Bangladesh made 221 runs and these aren't going to be enough on the Abu Dhabi pitch. Towhid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz played good innings, scoring 50+ each but still nothing seems to be going good for them.

Although Afghanistan lost two early wickets and they are now 61 for two wickets down but since the target isn't big so they aren't feeling any pressure. Remember Bangladesh won the three matches of the T20 series, so this is some unexpected performance by them.

Finally after terrible defeat streak at recent series now Afghanistan able to secure a single victory at ODI series against Bangladesh, compared to previous thier performce were quite better which results in they successfully restricted Bangali tigers below a huge target, despite having such fair target on board still they struggle lose some early on, but then gurbaz handle situation took time to settle down things abosrb pressure and build handosme partnership Alongside rehmat shah and put his team out of trouble situation. Later omarzai played a game changing innings with shahidi and nahi and that's how officially took a single lead at ODI series. But I do believe it maybe one sided series for Afghanistan although Bangladesh White wash them at t20.

Before concluding if Afghanistan will be able to win the ODI series or win all of the three matches I think we need to see how they perform in the next match also.

I am of the point of view that Afghanistan took a lot of overs to chase these runs but getting them in the 47th over means that they were batting slowly. Although Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rahmat Shah made 50 each but they took a lot of balls to complete those runs. Maybe they knew that target was less so they were batting at low pace

Bangladesh lost a few wickets early on and that's where Bangladesh fell behind. The wickets were helpful but the bowling didn't get as much turn or advantage as Afghanistan's bowlers did. Bangladesh's bowling unit doesn't seem as strong in ODIs as it was in T20Is. Bangladesh didn't play their two main bowlers in this match which was really surprising to me. Maybe Bangladesh will come out with a full strength team in the second ODI but the first match was more important for Bangladesh. If Afghanistan wins either of the second and third ODIs, they will clinch the series whereas Bangladesh will have to win two consecutive matches to clinch the ODI series, which is definitely tough for Bangladesh.

It's true when it come to team like Afghanistan, Pakistan unpredictability are on top, but yeh they were looking reliable stable and calm in recent few years when it come to ODI format, and that's why we have seen they not only beat Pakistan but English side too back at 2023 ODI world cup and rest of thier vital player loved to take time and delivered just like rahmat shah , shahidi, gurbaz and omarzai and that's why they played quite slow yesterday as because accordingly to execute thier plan to catch the required run rate. Morever Bangladesh were looking good but currently momentum are with Afghanistan and recent win really back them too so definitely things will be quite in favor of Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is not a consistent team like India or England, where if you win one match, you have a good chance of winning the remaining matches. If you look at the strengths of Bangladesh and Afghanistan, you will see that you can never tell which team is going to win before the match is over. I have seen many matches of Afghanistan before, they have lost the matches unexpectedly. The batting line-up of the Bangladesh team is much weaker than the bowling lineup. In most of the matches, the Bangladesh bowlers put pressure on the opponent's batsmen and do not allow them to score many runs, but the batsmen struggle to overcome that low total, which we saw in the Asia Cup of the T20 format a few days ago. Bangladesh has the ability to turn around in the next match, if the batsmen show some responsibility, then it is possible to defeat Afghanistan.

They can increase the opportunity to directly play in the next ODI world cup by winning this series against Afghanistan. Now I have doubts about this. Their batsmen batted very slowly in the first ODI. The bowlers had nothing to do there.

I sometimes feel that if every Bangladeshi cricketer were to be subject to mandatory fines for poor performance, they would certainly feel remorse and fear. Tanjid Hasan was dismissed like a reckless batsman, while Nazmul Hasan played a 2-run innings after being included in the team after a long time. Zaker Ali was a regular in the Bangladesh team, but his poor performance put the team in even more trouble, which left Bangladesh helpless against the Afghan bowlers in the first match. Bangladesh needs to come out of such a bad performance or else they will not be able to directly qualify for the upcoming 2026 ODI World Cup but will have to play the qualifiers and then qualify. And they will not be able to win the series against Afghanistan because Bangladesh's nerves have become weaker after losing the first match, making it impossible for Bangladesh to come back in the second match.

Afghanistan's performance is very erratic now. We have seen Afghanistan's very poor performance in the T20 series. We have seen Afghanistan's defeat in all three T20 matches. That is why I did not expect anything good from them in the ODI match. But Afghanistan won the first ODI match. However, Afghanistan got a chance to win because of the bad batting of the Bangladeshi batsmen. If the Bangladeshi batsmen could have played a little better and collected around 250, Afghanistan would have probably lost this match. I am expecting Bangladesh to win in the second match. I hope we will see more responsible batting from the Bangladeshi batsmen in the second match.

That is why I did not expect anything good from them in the ODI match. But Afghanistan won the first ODI match.

I hope we will see more responsible batting from the Bangladeshi batsmen in the second match.

Yes, Bangladesh could not score many runs in the first match of this series due to Bangladesh's poor batting, they gave an easy target of only 221 runs, so Afghanistan won the match very easily, but their next match will not be easy for Afghanistan at all, Bangladesh will now try their best to do better than the first match, so their next match is definitely going to be difficult, moreover, if Bangladesh loses the next match due to bad performance, then they will lose the series, so they will not want to lose the match in any way, Bangladesh's performance will be better in the next match, let's see what happens in the match.

Their batsmen batted very slowly in the first ODI. The bowlers had nothing to do there.

In the T20 series against Bangladesh, the Afghanistan team performed poorly in both batting and bowling, due to which the Bangladesh team was able to whitewash Afghanistan, but we have seen the weakness of the Bangladesh team's batting in the ODIs. If the Bangladesh team could have given Afghanistan a target of 270 runs and could have bowled in a controlled manner, the game would have been competitive. However, Bangladesh's performance against Afghanistan was not good at all, they could not do much in batting or bowling. The Bangladesh team should focus more on batting. In the first ODI match, the Bangladesh team performed against Afghanistan with many changes under the leadership of Mehedi Hasan Meraj, but the performance of the Bangladesh team's batsmen is not very satisfactory to the cricket fans. So the Bangladesh team should focus on the second ODI match so that the mistakes made in the first ODI match can be corrected in the second ODI match.

After winning three consecutive T20 format matches, it was not expected that Bangladesh would start One Day format with such shit performance. I was thinking that after completely whitewashing Afghanistan One Day format would be one side competition but I was wrong. Now it seems that it will be quite hard for Bangladesh to defeat Afghanistan in One Day series. Second match will play tomorrow and in first match,  Bangladesh was begun match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 221 scores after playing 50 overs. Rashid Khan and Azmatullah Omarzai both played major role in victory and both collected 3 and 3 wickets. Rahmanullah Gurbaz played wonderful innings and he collect 50 scores in starting and Rahmat Shah batter also build strong batting with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and collected 50 scores.

Afghanistan team Bangladesh team has three consecutive matches in T20, but Afghanistan team has the ability to take revenge in ODI match. Since they won the first match, they will create enough chances to win the second match, before Bangladesh team may be less aggressive in the long game. After playing T20 series consecutively, they have performed badly in ODI match with the same team with the same players, so this is the weakness in Bangladesh team, they are not ready to perform well for a long time.

Afghanistan team Bangladesh team has three consecutive matches in T20, but Afghanistan team has the ability to take revenge in ODI match. Since they won the first match, they will create enough chances to win the second match, before Bangladesh team may be less aggressive in the long game. After playing T20 series consecutively, they have performed badly in ODI match with the same team with the same players, so this is the weakness in Bangladesh team, they are not ready to perform well for a long time.

The team is the same but the format is different, Bangladesh has performed well in the last few T20 series and won four consecutive series, but Bangladesh has not been able to do well in the last few ODI series. On the other hand, Afghanistan has performed well in the last few ODI series, so I will keep them as favorites.

Anyway, Bangladesh has the ability to defeat Afghanistan, if Bangladesh batsmen can perform well enough then Bangladesh will win. But Bangladesh's batting line is very weak, Bangladesh scored only 221 runs in the last match which was not enough target. So today Bangladesh batsmen have to perform well, if not then they will lose today too. Maybe today Bangladesh's XI can see a few changes. Let's see which team can win today.

[Edit] Sorry, I thought the match would be today, but it will be tomorrow.

So today Bangladesh batsmen have to perform well, if not then they will lose today too. Maybe today Bangladesh's XI can see a few changes. Let's see which team can win today.

The failure of Bangladesh batsmen is enough to defeat Bangladesh in most of the matches, especially we will not blame Bangladesh bowlers. Because the bowlers try hard to keep the opponent within the target they give. In the first match, Bangladesh batsmen gave a target of only 221 runs. 221 runs is not a difficult target in cricket like an ODI where nowadays it is very easy to chase a target of 221 runs in T20. There, the target of 221 runs is given by Bangladesh batsmen, then how will the bowlers keep the opponent within this target of 221 runs. It is very difficult to find good batsmen in Bangladesh, especially those players who play well in the Under-19 team, start performing poorly when they get a chance in the national team.

[CryptoYar]

This is excellent point about change in good work of team in T20 and ODI cricket. Since Bangladesh has been not so strong team in recent ODI matches whereas Afghanistan has been strong team then it is right to think of Afghanistan as favorite in game today. Their batting is biggest problem facing Bangladesh, which is shown by their low score of 221 in last match. To win, top batsmen of Bangladesh will have to do much better and either make big score such as 280 or more or be able to go after hard target, otherwise they will likely lose once again. Game will only depend on skill of  Bangladeshi batsmen to finally do better.
