ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[DanWalker]

South Africa have started very badly. They lost two wickets quickly. They scored only 11 runs in 4 overs and lost two wickets. Ryan Rickelton and de Koch return to the dressing room.

South Africa had a chance to win even after India gave a big target. South Africa's batting order is also very strong. So I expected the match to be competitive. But South Africa has already lost 3 important batsmen. South Africa is three wickets high for 11 runs. Rickelton and de Kock could not add any runs to the scoreboard. South Africa has scored 73 runs in 14 overs. Tony de Zorzi and Breetzke are at the crease. If these two batsmen can play well , the match will become a little exciting. But I am sure India will win this match.

In the first ODI match, South Africa faced India today, in the first innings, India scored 349 runs and lost eight wickets. The hero of this match, Virat Kohli, who scored 135 runs off 120 balls, his batting performance was very interesting, which gave a lot of joy to the audience. It is because of a legend like Virat Kohli that India has been able to score such a big score in this match today, his batting performance is incomparable. At this moment, the South African team has come out to bat to meet the target of India and they have already lost their important three wickets, which has put them under pressure. Good batsmen like Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton have been dismissed for zero runs, which is very unfortunate for the South African team. Their batting performance has been bad from the beginning, due to which they are under pressure at the moment, but if the target of runs given by India is not possible to be collected, then the match will be won by India.

Can imagine all the lobbies getting orgasm after orgasam after 52 overs.

Rohit's fans, bhabi ji and vidya balan & co are happy. Kohli's ton came so every one is happy and Shastri sucking upto him nicely. Gambhir is also getting off after seeing his boy claiming 2 timbers.

Haha, well can't deny that.

We can blame the star player worshipping in India, but apart from that we just look at the experience which really helped along with flat batting track, when both of them were playing it looks like 400 was on the card but then again once they are gone then the two quick wickets out the pressure back on India but Kohli stuck in the middle and made it easier.

Now, Kuldeep strikes in his first over itself put India a little closer to their first win.

South Africa is already under heavy wicket pressure, as they have already lost 4 wickets early in the game. Today, South Africa is most likely to lose, because it is never possible to perform well when there is wicket pressure. There is a lot of pressure on the players, due to which the batsmen fail to perform well. South Africa has lost four attacking batsmen who are ready to perform well for the team, chasing the target of 349 runs set by India is the most difficult for the South African team. As time goes by, the certainty of South Africa losing is increasing.

[GigaBit]

South Africa's bowling performance was not good, because India is scoring runs aggressively. India has scored 140 runs in 18 overs and lost only 1 wicket. India has already been very aggressive, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, these two patient batsmen, are currently performing at the crease. After losing the past two Test matches, it is time for India to respond, since Virat Kohli has been performing well at the moment. So, the chances of scoring a century in today's match will be the highest, and the chances of India winning this first ODI match will be high.

India lost the toss and opted to bat first. After losing one wicket in the beginning, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli started batting responsibly after feeling some pressure. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli formed a great partnership and both batted responsibly but Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 57 runs while Virat Kohli performed brilliantly. Virat Kohli is performing brilliantly and is unbeaten on 123 runs off 108 balls. It seems that his game will be prolonged. India's current score is 264 runs with four wickets in 40 overs. Looking at the current state of India's game, it seems that India can give South Africa a target of 300 plus runs. If India gives South Africa a target of 300 plus runs, then it will be very difficult for South Africa to win the match.

Virat Kohli has changed the entire match. His score of 135 has played a big role in the team's victory. Rohit and Rahul have also made good contributions. Since the pressure of runs is high, it will naturally be difficult for South Africa to win the match. To make South Africa better in this match, they should have played wickets from the beginning but South Africa has completely failed in that point. The team has lost 4 important wickets in just 85. They are not in a position to win this match.

South Africa scored 123 runs in 20 overs. They managed to score more than 6 runs per over. Quite a good score. But the problem is that they lost four wickets. After losing three wickets for 11 runs, South Africa lost the fourth wicket for 77 runs. Breetzke and Brevis are now batting. Brevis scored 31 runs in 22 balls. Breetzke's score is 45 runs.

If South Africa had not lost wickets so quickly, then we would have enjoyed a competitive match. South Africa still need 226 runs to win. It will not be possible for them to score 226 runs in 30 overs.

South Africa lost their aggressive batsmen, because those who are experienced in batting usually lose wickets early. After the opening batsman was dismissed, South Africa faced more pressure, and after losing three wickets in a row, South Africa was completely squeezed and the next batsmen had to face a lot of pressure and perform their batting performance. The ground where this match is being played is mainly a batting piece, because India has scored a lot of runs, so it has become difficult for South Africa to chase this run score. If these two batsmen, Breetzke and Marco Jansen, are dismissed, South Africa's reliable batsmen will be gone. And it would be foolish to expect South Africa to win against the next batsmen, so I can say that South Africa's victory is assured in this match because South Africa still needs to score 189 runs in 25 overs.

[Out of mind]

But I am sure India will win this match.

South Africa had a chance to win after India gave a big target but they could have batted patiently, if they could have kept their wickets then there would have been a chance. Since the top order batsmen of the South African team got out early which has been a big disappointment for the team. Matthew Breetzke is keeping the South African team alive at the moment and he is trying to bat very patiently. However, we can confirm that this match is a win for India by looking at the batting performance of the South African team and seeing their lack of wickets.
The batsmen of the South African team did not play well due to which the game was not exciting, the South African team still needs to score a lot of runs which is not possible. At the moment we have scored 162 runs for the loss of 5 wickets, South Africa still needs to score 188 runs for the win which is not possible, India's batting performance is very strong at the moment.

In the second Test match, we saw the excellent batting of the South African batsmen. So today , even after India gave a big target, many expected South Africa to win. South Africa also had the ability to win this target. But the scenario is completely different. African batsmen are not able to survive at the crease  against indian bowlers. South Africa has lost 5 wickets. Marco jansen and Breetzke are at the crease. Jansen is batting very aggressively. He has scored  24 runs in 12 balls. South Africa is probably going to lose Jansen's wicket soon.

Marco jansen and Breetzke are at the crease. Jansen is batting very aggressively. He has scored  24 runs in 12 balls. South Africa is probably going to lose Jansen's wicket soon.

Proteas got no other option now, this is not a test match so they can't draw if they just play for the 50 overs.

At the moment Marco Jansen is successful at what he is doing and also reached his 50 in just 26 balls. Also this partnership started to look threatening with almost nearing 100 with Bretzke but all they need is just 2 more wickets and this game will be in the hands of India.

Batting against the target of 350 runs set by India, South Africa's batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets at the beginning, but Dewald Brevis and Tony de Zorzi are batting responsibly for the team. Tony de Zorzi and Dewald Brevis have batted fairly well. Tony de Zorzi was dismissed for 39 runs off 35 balls and Dewald Brevis was dismissed for 37 runs off 28 balls. Marco Jansen and Matthew Breetzke have formed a great partnership between the two. Both are batting brilliantly. If they can bat well, they can probably score a century. If India cannot get these two batsmen out, it can be very dangerous for India. Matthew Breetzke is unbeaten on 67 runs off 70 balls and Marco Jansen is unbeaten on 55 runs off 31 balls. The current score of the South African team is 207 runs for 5 wickets in 31 overs. Looking at their current state of play, it seems that if they can play well, they can win the match against India, but the chances of winning the match are very low. Let's see how responsible South African batsmen Matthew Breetzke and Marco Jansen are, South Africa's victory in the match depends on how responsible they bat.

[ChocolateBitcoinK]

India has given a very good target, South Africa is batting at a target of 350 runs, so far they have scored 227 runs in 33 overs, now they need 123 runs in 17 overs, Marco Jansen and Matthew Breetzke have formed a good partnership, Marco Jansen is very aggressive at the moment, he has scored 70 runs in just 38 balls, 123 runs in 17 overs is not very difficult, if they can survive, then they can change the match to their victory.

EDIT**

After writing this post, when I went to check the match situation again, I saw that both Marco Jansen and Matthew Breetzke were out to Kuldeep Yadav's bowling, Marco Jansen was out on the first ball of Kuldeep's over and Matthew Breetzke was out on the third ball. This was really surprising to me, South Africa doesn't have any good batsmen at the moment, and India's bowling is very good. So I don't see much chance of South Africa winning now.

Kuldeep showed his class and sealed the match for India when it looks like sliding away by taking both the batters who stuck in the crease for a while and from now the winning is not possible so it's just the formality to get the game down by taking 3 more wickets.

SA needs 93 runs from 72 balls with 3 wickets is the current situation of the match.

India vs South Africa 1st ODI

India and South Africa are now playing first ODI in Ranchi. India had huge goal of 350 and scored it with the help of great hundred by Virat Kohli who made 135 runs and scores of fifty or more by Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. South Africa is at this time at 249/7 after 3 overs. Even though India has made two quick wickets one of them being Quinton de Kock, South Africa has come back strongly with good batting performances by players such as Matthew Breetzke with 72 runs and Marco Jansen with 70 runs and made game competitive chase wher South Africa still needs 101 runs out of 78 balls. Which is looking difficult at this time.

If South Africa had won today's match, Marco Jansen could have been the hero in this victory, but that may not be possible anymore as South Africa have fallen to 270 for 8 wickets. With only two batsmen left, it will be impossible for these two batsmen to score 80 runs in 10 overs. However, the role of two bowlers Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav was very important in India's victory as these two bowlers took 7 important wickets for South Africa. But now it is only a matter of time before South Africa is all out as two wickets could fall at any time. South Africa's innings will end when Corbin Boach is dismissed.

South Africa will lose the match. But their batting has surprised everyone. After losing three wickets for just 11 runs, South Africa will collect 300+, this was unimaginable.

South Africa's collection is 312 runs after 47 overs. South Africa needs 38 runs in the last 3 overs. But they have lost 9 wickets. If there were two experienced batsmen at the crease, South Africa could have won the match. But Corbin Bosch and Ottneil Baartman are at the crease. Baartman could not score any runs in 5 balls. South Africa's last hope is Corbin Bosch.

[Popkon6]

South Africa almost created a chance to win, but the South African team lost wickets early due to wrong reasons and the team faced a lot of pressure. At present, South Africa could not win under the pressure of wickets, although they lost the game by a large margin, but Breetzke and Marco Jansen, along with Corbin Bosch, performed very well. In the face of the pressure of this wicket, South Africa scored 316 runs in 47.3 overs, needing 34 runs from just 15 balls to win. However, if South Africa loses this match, then I will definitely blame the first three players, Markram, Rickelton de Kock, these three players have performed very badly and put the team under pressure.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Almost an anti climax situation but Arshdeep kept the 49th over very tight and Bosch needed 18 runs of6 last 6 balls but couldn't get over the line. Good effort from Bosch to keep the match alive till the end also made his 50 along the way. Without Bumrah this is how Indian bowling unit looks but they managed it somehow.

India opened their count in this 3odi series with 1-0 at the end of first match. Sunday went pretty interesting and almost watched the entire match after a while.

  Everyone will be happy after this match , we move to 2nd ODI & probably some more rumours coming our way.South Africa actually batted very well especially Matthew Breetzke & Jansen ...Matthew Breetzke had some start to his career , in 9 matches so far he has 4 fifties & a 100 .

When we see that the South African team was at one time 11 runs and three wickets already down and then to reach to over a 300 runs is a big achievement. The rest of the South African batsmen, especially Matthew Breetzke, Marco Jansen and Corbin Bosch played really well and we can't take the credit away from them for showing such a big comeback.

Yes they lost the match and it was only because of those three top order losing the wickets so early in the innings. With that said, we can expect it won't be an easy journey for the Indian team in the ODI either.
