ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[virasog]

India won toss and they decided to take bowl first. Indian bowlers started well, they gave 49 runs in power play and took no wicket. If you are not successful in taking wickets then you should avoid giving runs this thing done by bowlers in power play. After that NZ team started making runs little fastly. Just two partnerships built in whole match, first in the start and second in the end. They collectively scored 300 runs playing first.
If we talk about Indian team batting side then they played well inning overall. They built 3 partnerships in whole match. A big partnership build in start which was 118 in 107 balls. After losing 2nd wicket again they built partnership which was 77 runs in 76 balls and two small built in last which was 37 runs and 27 runs. I think due to these partnerships they won the match.

This match was high scoring and an interesting game. Both teams scored 300+ runs in this game that shows that both teams dominated in batting as compared to the bowling.

Tomorrow will be the 2nd ODI between them, and it will be played at a different venue. The first match was played at Vadodara, but the next will be played at Rajkot. It will be interesting to see if Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls (from NZ) and Virat Kohli (from India) would be able to play a similar innings as they did in the 1st ODI.

New Zealand team had a good batting performance today but unfortunately they lost. New Zealand had a huge target of 300 runs against India, although the Indian players were under a lot of pressure. However, due to their sufficient wickets, India was able to achieve a great victory by four wickets in this match today. The batting performance of Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill was the best, because of these two, India was able to win in this match with one over in hand. However, the Indian team has now won one match against New Zealand in the ODI series and has moved forward. They will try to play well in the next match. Moreover, India has the highest chance of winning the series compared to New Zealand in this ODI series.

The match was close and New Zealand was so near to win this game but lost in the end. However, I hope for the next couple of games they will make their comeback. The trick they used in this match was really impressive that they were not just looking for boundaries but also trying to keep a momentum by singles and doubles and that momentum led them to score 300 runs.

I think if they had scored 10 to 20 more runs, that would have changed the game completely in their favor. Also at the same time, We cannot underestimate the Indian batsmen. They are so good, they would not let any bowler take control or dominate them.

New Zealand batsmen played very well due to which they were close to victory the match but still they could not succeed in the match because they opposite a strong team like India which plays good and stronger than New Zealand due to which they played with difficulty despite having a strong target and Victory the match. New Zealand batsmen tried and worked hard from all sides due to which they were able to make such a big target. Indian bowler also took 8 wickets but still the target was enough high. I don't think so because India still had 1 over at the end and they had scored 306 runs due to which it was not difficult to win them. New Zealand bowler was not stopped from scoring many runs if they had tried like this then they could have created many chances in the match for them to victory.

Yeah, today's In Under-19 World Cup Warm- up Matches Pakistan Under-19 defeated USA Under-19 by 69 runs. Pakistan opens inning with Sameer Minhas and Muhammad Shayan and both the openers give a very positive start to the team and Minhas played a well knock of 74 runs and also Muhammad Shayan scores 23 runs and in middle order Ahmad Hussain played a well inning of 43 runs and also Huzaifa scores 38 runs and at the end of the innings Pakistan set a strong target of 295 runs.

USA opens inning with Amrinder Gill and Sahel Garg and both the openers give a very positive start to the team and Sahil played a well inning of 75 runs and also Gill scores 18 runs and in middle order Utkarsh played a well knock of 36 runs and also Nitish Sudini scores 34 runs and at the end of the innings USA don't chase the target successfully and Pakistan won the game by 69 runs.

New Zealand's opening wicket partnership was excellent. Their first wicket fell for 117 runs, which was a sign of a big run. And in the end, they managed to score 300 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs. Daryl Mitchell scored the highest score of 84 runs in 71 balls. In modern cricket, 300 runs can never be called a small score but it is not impossible to do it, especially when the opponent is India, it can be said that it will not be very difficult to cross 300 runs and win. Although India did not have a good start, they finally reached the target with 6 balls to spare. A great comeback for Virat Kohli. He scored 93 runs in this match. India won the match due to the excellent performance of India's top order batsmen.

The New Zealand batsmen played very well and till the end their batsmen did not give up and made a strong target of 300 runs. But they still could not put much hard working and effort in bowling due to which all their hard work was wasted. Their playing well in this way will give them a lot of advantage but they played the match against India in a very strong manner. In this first match, the batsmen of both the teams played well but the New Zealand bowlers did not stop much runs due to which they lose the match in the last over. If New Zealand plays well and Victory the next match then this series will become very interesting. This is a match between two strong teams so it is very interesting. Both the Indian batsmen and bowlers worked hard in this match and made themselves successful.

Even if the team players give good batting or bowling gifts, at the end of the day, good performance is of no use if they lose. So, along with good performance, it is most important to bring the team to victory. Undoubtedly, the New Zealand batsmen had set a good target. 300 runs in 50-over cricket would have been enough to win but the New Zealand bowlers were helpless against the Indian batsmen. They could not dominate the Indian batsmen, as a result, the Indian batsmen were able to score runs very easily and in the end they won the match. Yes, you are right that the matches between these two teams will be full of great competition because neither team will give any concession in terms of strength. Let's see what the outcome of the series will be in the end.

During first game, India was extremely good in chasing strong 300 of New Zealand. Even though batters of New Zealand did much of work, bowlers could not stop scoring of India mostly in early stages and last over where bowler was beaten calmly by KL Rahul who ended game. India bowlers, such as Mohammed Siraj and young Harshit Rana performed better in limiting number of runs and hence India took 1-0 lead. Second match is being played today in Rajkot, place that is known to score high. New Zealand must now not fail in bowling and win match to stay in series but they have big job ahead of them because no other team has ever been able to chase score at this specific stadium.

No idea what logic these guys follow in general.

Washi got injured ( off spin + bat), they call badoni as his backup ( off spin + bat) but then he's warming a bench and seam allrounder Reddy got in playing XI. I mean seriously what's the logic?

For some reason, the players from Andhra/Telangana seems to be selectors's favourites. Remember the case of Hanuma Vihari? Anyway, India is struggling at this point and they are at 272/7 after 49 overs. In all probability, they will end up at 280, which is not going to be enough at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. Kiwi spinners really bowled well (especially Michael Bracewell, Jayden Lennox and Glenn Phillips), but the pacers including Jamieson leaked a lot of runs. This is what I have been saying for some time. New Zealand doesn't have any players who can fill the vacuum left by Trent Boult and Tim Southee.

India making 284 runs batting first in today's match. Again this is not a big score and I expect a close game today also. NZ had a good chance to win this match from here.

If we look at the Indian batting, KL Rahul played a major role. His 112 runs not out innings played a huge role in the Indian team reaching this close to a 300 runs mark. The opening pair Rohit Sharma  and Shubman Gill had a good partnership but I think the batsmen to follow could not play with the same pace and lost wickets at regular intervals. Indian bowlers have to bowl well if they want to win this game.

This is what I like about KL Rahul. He is quite reliable. Without him, India would have ended at 250-260, which would have given New Zealand a solid advantage. But now, India managed to get 284, which means that everything is back to even-stevens. When Nitish Kumar Reddy got out after making 20 from 21 balls, India was at 248/6 in 46.2 overs. In the next 3.4 overs, India managed to add 36 runs, and almost all of those runs were made by Rahul. Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj were silent spectators at the other end, making a combined 4 runs from 7 balls.

[CryptoYar]

India faced New Zealand in second ODI match in Rajkot and India made 284 runs and gave 285 runs target to New Zealand. KL Rahul was middle star, having given brave 112 runs and being not out to make sure that team got better after number of his team players were sent out early. Although New Zealand Kristian Clarke came back after taking three important wickets including Virat Kohli, first batters Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma began their pairing in great way of 70 runs. New Zealand has now begun their chase with Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls at pitch and they are in need of this win to keep them alive in series as India took lead in first game.

Yes, KL Rahul did well today as a result of which India were able to score 284 runs, otherwise the score could have been even lower. KL Rahul played a brilliant innings of 112 runs off 92 balls which is very commendable. The top order batsmen could not do well enough, only Shubman Gill did well from the top order. Now the score is lower today compared to the 1st match, will New Zealand be able to chase the target today? New Zealand came out to bat and so far they have scored 24 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 6 overs, opening batsman Devon Conway is out. Now New Zealand is under some pressure, now let's see if New Zealand batsmen can come out of the pressure.

Yes, KL Rahul gave a great batting performance in the second ODI. He scored 112 runs in 92 balls, while Shubman Gill also gave a good innings of 56 runs in 53 balls. In view of which, India can score 284 runs for the loss of seven wickets in the first innings. Like in the first ODI, Virat Kohli could not score very well today. He was out for 23 runs in 29 balls. India surpassed the target of 300 runs set by New Zealand in the first ODI with one over to spare. Along with winning today's match, New Zealand has a chance to equalize the Test series. They have already come out to bat in the second innings and as of the last news, they have scored 24 runs for the loss of one wicket after six overs. New Zealand has several batting performers in the team, let's see if they can contribute to the team's victory in the end.

[Haunebu]

Looks like this will be a close one. I thought the Kiwis would win this pretty comfortably, but it looks like it might go right down to the wire thanks to some great bowling by the Indians right at the start. Rana keeps impressing with his bowling though he still needs to reduce his immature crap.

Nitish is one heck of a lucky dude for getting so many chances across all formats. Kiwis are really missing Williamson etc.

Kiwis are doing pretty well against a seasoned Indian side. New Zealand can chase this target, but they need to build a solid partnership from here. Otherwise, India could wrap it up and make it 2–0 quite comfortably.
Rana has picked up the opening wicket and is starting to prove his critics wrong. He's beginning to justify his selection and could turn out to be the x-factor in India's bowling attack.

The Indian team is most likely to defeat the New Zealand team today, because the New Zealand team has already lost 2 wickets. The opening two batsmen are patient and have already been out, but now the partnership is being made by Will Young and Daryl Mitchell, these two batsmen are patient, if they are out then the New Zealand team will definitely lose this match today, so the Indian team will win the match by a margin of 2-0.
Because the New Zealand team will have to score a lot of big runs, so if the New Zealand team players can perform aggressively by keeping the wickets under control, there will be a possibility of winning. If they cannot perform like this, then the New Zealand team will have the highest possibility of losing.

It seems that India will be defeated. New Zealand lost two wickets for 46 runs. But now the two batsmen Will young and Daryl mitchell who are at the crease are batting responsibly. New Zealand managed to collect 112 runs after 24 overs. New Zealand's batting is a bit slow.

New Zealand has full potential to win. If the Young-Mitchell pair lasts long, I am sure New Zealand will win. Phillips, Bracewell and Mitchell hay are capable of batting well. Although they lost in the first match, they were able to give a big target of 301 runs. New Zealand's batting order is strong and they are also in good form.

After having poor start, KL Rahul brought back India back on track through his century, now bowlers keeping things tight with their line and length 46 for 2 in 12.4 overs kept India hot favourite to win this game but now partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Will Young may lead to changes.

203 in 30 overs is looking easily chaseable but still New Zealand needs to be having their best in rest of this chase Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadev on bowling for India, this is going to be important for both teams because if Kiwis able to stay on course against these quality spinners, this match can have good end otherwise India is heading for easy in this match.

It is definitely possible for New Zealand to win today's match if Daryl Mitchell (52 not out) and Will Young (46 not out) can bat for longer.
These two experienced New Zealand batsmen have already put up an 80-run partnership, meaning if they can bat for another ten overs in today's match, New Zealand will definitely have a chance. If New Zealand can win today's match in the three-match ODI series, then the series will depend on the final match. However, the conditions so far in today's match, India and New Zealand have a fifty-fifty chance.

Kiwis are cruising very comfortably, and there is no rush in their gameplay because they know wickets in hand is the key when it comes to chasing any target. Both Mitchell and Young is destroying every one who bowls at them. India badly needs someone to break this match to keep this game alive.

Regarding Nitish, selectors see him as a replacement to Hardik and seriously if we look at the players we don't really have anyone if Hardik is out so Bilateral series are good to shape Nitish to a handy one but dude needs to increase his pace atleast consistent to 130kmph+ is necessary.

[Nalain420]

India faced New Zealand in second ODI match in Rajkot and India made 284 runs and gave 285 runs target to New Zealand. KL Rahul was middle star, having given brave 112 runs and being not out to make sure that team got better after number of his team players were sent out early.

New Zealand has now begun their chase with Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls at pitch and they are in need of this win to keep them alive in series as India took lead in first game.

In this game, Ind could not score more runs because the NZ bowlers put a lot of pressure on their players and they are playing worse in this game than in the first game. This player played well but Shubman Gill supported him and scored 56 runs due to which their target was 284. NZ players are also playing with a lot of struggle and better performance. If India's bowlers put pressure, they can win and the game is important for NZ but there is a lot of struggle from both sides. NZ players are currently showing performance by scoring 167 runs in 33 overs. If Ind wins this game too, then NZ will be ashamed because they could also struggle but Ind are working hard to defeat them. If NZ players miss the opportunity now, it is their failure while they should win this game.
