ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[ZAINmalik75]

So today there are three matches too. In the first match England and Pakistan will face each other. In the second match Australia will face Ireland. And in the third match Afghanistan and South Africa will face each other. So today First and the third match are little competitive and second match will be one sided and Australia will easily win.

No doubt rest of clashes were quite interesting, but ended beyond our expectations like they way Pakistan done in recent past I was sure they will easily get the required against English u19 but as soon as thier spot light performer Arafat Minhas got departure effectiveless team start to shattered like poker cards as mostly he took charge and filled required by himself so rest of team try his best and even target wasn't that big but still they failed and thus Pakistan u19 lose his very first match of the tournament, while on the other hand team like Afghanistan whome hardly won a match in Asia cup surprise proteas u19  by crushing thier hope of will and start being green.

In today's match between Pakistan Under-19 and England Under-19, it seemed that Pakistan might have restricted England to 210 runs, but Pakistan Under-19 is performing worse than England. The conditions prevailing in the match now have a 90% chance of England Under-19 winning, especially as Pakistan have scored 173 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. Oh sorry, as I was writing this post, England defeated Pakistan U-19 by 37 runs. That is, Pakistan U-19 was all out for 173 runs. Pakistan lost today's match only because of bad batting.

Pakistan Under-19s were close to winning this game, alright, they are good for the World Cup, they should be confident for the next games because they were playing comfortably.

However, in this match, if we focus on some special aspects where they collapse in the batting. Firstly their top order directly flopped to carry out a good start, including the amazing one, Sameer Minhas. Later, Farhan Yousaf, the leader, scored a good runs and that time it looked like they might take this, but it was a good chase and in the end, the wickets were also losing, hence they lost the game.

Pakistan lost to England showed that team is too dependent on Sameer Minhas with other batters unable to handle the pressure when he left except Farhan Yousuf who made 65 runs. This started a chain reaction of wicket to wicket and common thing in youth cricket where players lose their confidence very easily. Afghanistan on the other hand, got a big surprise when they beat South Africa as they have improved much since Asia Cup. Success of Afghanistan can be linked to fact that they made good use of their spinners on Zimbabwe pitches and they were clever in the middle overs. To get better, they must find way of as team scoring runs other than having one star player, especially when up against world bowling.

They are investing in prasidh, which is good but I hope it's not because of ego or something. Still not worried about bowling department and once Bumrah and pandya are back, all combination will be back to normal but yeah backup stock is not looking exciting.

Prasid is a good one change bowler and also got wicket taking ability but he can't be the main bowler that team can rely on, so need someone who is an absolute bank that is why I said Arshdeep will be a better fit in Bilateral where Bumrah won't be playing. And the bankup of all round seamer is much oworrying than anything to me, seriously Nithish kumar is not anywhere near compared to Bumrah and AFAIK, even in the whole domestic circuit we don't have any like to like replacement for Kung fu Pandaya at the moment.

Arshdeep was first choice in white ball but then management changed and  sometimes it feels like gauti give preference to other seamers instead of Arshdeep.

I mean he tried to replace Arshdeep in T-20 with rana and more or less same could be said about in ODI ( prashidh)

Reddy has potential but he can't do much if he's batting at number 8 and bowling only 2 overs.

Pakistan (irrespective of whether we are talking about the senior team, women's team or the age-group teams) are quite good in losing matches that they could have won. Yesterday was no different. They bowled out England for just 210, and that too on a neutral surface at the Takashinga Sports Club. Leggie Ahmed Hussain picked up 3 wickets and got good support from Ali Raza, Abdul Subhan and Momin Qamar. Caleb Falconer made 66 for England, but apart from that there was no resistance. Pakistan's collapse happened almost immediately after Sameer Minhas got out. Only Farhan Yousaf managed to stay at the crease for considerable time.

BAN U19 Vs IND U19, U19 world Cup
An ODI match will be held today between Bangladesh U-19 team and India U-19 team where Bangladesh and India are in Group A. In a match in Group A, India U-19 and USA U-19 defeated USA U-19 by a huge margin of 6 wickets. Today is the second match of India U-19 team and the first match of Bangladesh U-19 team. However, today's match is definitely a tough match for Bangladesh U-19 team because the other two opponents New Zealand and USA are relatively weaker than India, so if Bangladesh can win today's match then it will definitely be easy for Bangladesh to qualify in the points table.

Most important match in group 2026 Under19 world cup match. India vs Bangladesh at Queens Sports Club is match where winner is likely to sit at top of table. India comes into game with speed following big win over USA, with amazing five wicket play by Henil Patel, whereas Bangladesh is in their tournament today with good team through Azizul Hakim Tamim.
Despite having higher number of past wins in past, Bangladesh has shown that they can be winners in big games. It is very important that both teams win today as it will make future journey to next round much easier and will not put team in need to win game with New Zealand later. I think that fast bowlers of India are danger, but Bangladesh has faced big competitions and it will be very close match that result might be decided within last few overs.

Yes, India U19 team performed well in the first match due to which they chased the target easily. Although USA U19 team was a relatively weak opponent, now we can say that Bangladesh U19 team is relatively stronger team than USA U19 team, so hopefully the match can be quite competitive, but based on the performance I want to put India U19 team ahead. However, the toss has been delayed due to rain, hopefully the game can start when the rain stops on time.

On the other hand, there is another match, the match will be between Japan U19 vs Sri Lanka U19 team. In this match, Japan U19 is a small team, so Sri Lanka U19 will be ahead in this match. However, Japan U19 won the toss and decided to bowl. Now let's see how many runs target Sri Lanka U19 team can give.

BAN U19 Vs IND U19, U19 world Cup

Abhigyan Kundu played a too slow innings. Yes, this time India did not have a good start, found trouble that lost their key players early and the pressure was building up on the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and he did his responsibility, looking for more calculated shots compared to the power hits that he used to do.

Three sixes and 6 fours led him to score 72 in 67 balls. But then, when the responsibility was given to Abhigyan Kundu, he was only wasting the balls for his first 24 runs he used 61 balls and even this type of innings is not suitable for the test games. He was playing with a strike rate of less than 40 or even 30.

India U-19 batsmen have scored 238 runs which is not a very strong target but still India U-19 is a good team with good effort and hard work so it is difficult for Bangladesh U-19 to victory. Bangladesh U-19 bowler dismissed all India U-19 batsmen in 48.4 overs and achieved the target of 238 runs. India U-19 bowler should work hard which will help them victory. Bangladesh U-19 batsmen are scoring runs with a lot of hard work but India U-19 hard bowling will not let them victory.  Bangladesh batsmen have scored 89 runs so far and if Bangladesh batsmen show any carelessness then they will go out of the victory and it will be a defeat for them. Bangladesh U-19 batsmen will have to play well so that India U-19 are not too strong in this league.

Reddy has potential but he can't do much if he's batting at number 8 and bowling only 2 overs.

Do you think Nithish reddy can do better if he is given a long rope? Maybe in his batting but I don't see his bowling ability as someone who can be considered as an option, more of a batting all rounder who can bowl a couple of overs just with the resemblance of Dube but not anywhere near the Hardik who is capable of bowling full quota of overs if needed, so Indian management should keep looking for someone who can be a regular pace bowling all rounder.

Indian U19 in their second match of World Cup currently playing against Bangladesh U19 and facing serious problems as match is again interrupted by rain at Bulawayo. India U19 bowled out on 238 in 48.4 overs with Abhigyan Kundu 80 and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 72 were main scorers in this inning. Al Fahad 5 for 38 done good damage.

Now in reply, Bangladesh have revised target of 165 in 29 overs, they are doing good still it's not easy to have win against hot favourite India U19 at the end of 24 overs Bangladesh U19 are 125 for 4, they need 40 runs from 5 overs with Azizul Hakim 51 on crease still they need to do something special for winning this match, Vihaan Malhotra 2 for 9 doing good job for India.

In batting department he has potential of becoming handy batter if he's batting bit up in the order, maybe at 6 in ODI (competition won't allow tho) and 7 at tests (only sena, in subcontinent he shouldn't be in the squad). Yeah, as far as his bowling is concern he's better version of shivam dube who can fill maximum 4-5 overs of quota in ODI and can be helpful in tests ( sena's spicy wickets).

Reddy is only 22yo so it'd be too harsh if we are comparing him with Hardik. Pandaya is rare breed, i don't like his antics but he's hell of a cricketer, too bad his fitness ended his test career.

India U19 bowled out on 238 in 48.4 overs with Abhigyan Kundu 80 and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 72 were main scorers in this inning. Al Fahad 5 for 38 done good damage.

India U-19 and Bangladesh U-19 won the ODI match by 18 runs via DSL method. Earlier, India's innings was reduced to 49 overs due to bad weather, in which India U-19 scored 238 runs in 48.4 overs after losing all their wickets. For India, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 72 runs and Abhigyan Abhishek Kundu scored the highest score of 80 runs for the team. Bangladesh's Al Fahad took 5 wickets. Again, due to bad weather, Bangladesh's innings was reduced to 29 overs and the target was set for Bangladesh to 165 runs. In that case, Bangladesh's batsmen could not give a good batting gift, as a result, they could score 146 runs in 28.3 overs after losing all their wickets. At the same time, Bangladesh was defeated by 18 runs.

Rain intruption become huge concern for now days cricket and I think management should think about full closed cover stadium just like we have several in soccer in order to keep entertainment last, anyway Bangladesh u19 were looking in good touch and have huge advantage to catch required as soon as rain intrupt and DLS squeeze the total target for them, honestly I was sure about Bangali victory till 4 down at 124, because we have already seen how they crushed Indian back at recent u19 Asia cup, but out of no where manooj Malhotra shattered thier lineup and get the game for his team at such crucial situation and thus Indian won and seek thier revenge.

India U 19 is putting all the teams under pressure because their performance is so impressive that their opponents automatically come under pressure and are unable to achieve the aim given to them and make defeat their destiny.The same thing happened with Bangladesh U 19.India U 19 had a aim of 238 runs but due to the DSL method 29 overs were fixed but even according to that Bangladesh U 19  lose by 18 runs.Two batsmen from India U 19 worked hard and strengthened their aim and the rest of the batsmen also worked hard.I have said before that India U 19 is a very hardworking team.Their batsmen kept climbing towards their aim quickly after getting out one after the other.

Today is the first day of Men's Under-19 World Cup, 2026 three matches were scheduled to be played but due to rain two matches in Zimbabwe, no good enough playing hours, Zimbabwe U19 vs Scotland U19 ended without any balls bowled and in USA U19 vs India U19 here India U19 have good chance of securing win but rain doing damage while India U19 waiting for outcome with most chances they will be also having to share 1 point with the USA U19 who were bowled out on 107 runs in 35 overs.

In Namibia game, we have result with big win for the West Indies U19, they bowled out Tanzania U19 on 122 runs in 34 overs and chased their target in just 21 overs for the loss of 5 wickets, tomorrow also we have three games with rain is again going to take its share as well.

In Men's Under-19 World Cup Afghanistan Under-19 defeated South Africa Under-19 by 28 runs. Afghanistan opens inning with Khalid Ahmadzai and Osman Sadat and among the openers Ahmadzai played a well inning of 74 runs but Sadat scores only 4 runs and in middle order Faisal Shinozada played a well inning of 81 runs and also Uzairullaah Niazi played a well inning of 51 runs and at the end of the innings Afghanistan set a very strong target of 267 runs. South Africa opens inning with Jorich and Adnaan Lagadien and both the openers don't give a positive start to the team and Lagadien scores only 10 runs and also Jorich losses his wicket early on 8 runs and in middle order Jason Rowles played a well inning of 98 runs and also Corne Botha  scores 25 runs and at the end of the innings South Africa scores only 238 runs and don't chase the target successfully and Afghanistan won the game by 28 runs.

In today's match between Pakistan Under-19 and England Under-19, it seemed that Pakistan might have restricted England to 210 runs, but Pakistan Under-19 is performing worse than England. The conditions prevailing in the match now have a 90% chance of England Under-19 winning, especially as Pakistan have scored 173 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. Oh sorry, as I was writing this post, England defeated Pakistan U-19 by 37 runs. That is, Pakistan U-19 was all out for 173 runs. Pakistan lost today's match only because of bad batting.

England teams is very strong Falconer helped his team with 66 runs but Ahmed Hussain took some important wickets. The Pakistani bowlers used a strong bowling attack and restricted England on a low total. Ahmed Hussain played a key role for Pakistan by taking 3 wickets, and eventually, England was all out for 210. It was not a very challenging target and seemed achievable for Pakistan. When Pakistan started batting, their top order performed poorly. They have lost 5 wickets on 77 runs only.. But when Farhan Yousuf came, he scored 65 runs and give hope to the team. At that point, it looked like Pakistan would easily win. However,game took a  dramatic turn  where Pak team could not maintain the momentum and failed to hold their wickets. The entire team was all out for 173 runs. It was a truly breathtaking finish. This was a game that kept the spectators on their seats even very last ball. Last few overs were very thrilling.

[noormcs5]

Anyway, that has been passed , if we think about the next match we saw the changes on venue I don't know this venue is batting friendly or not but if it is batting friendly then I think the team who will bowling first they will have the biger chance of wining on that match as well in this series.

Tomorrow will be the last and the final game of ODI series between New Zealand and India. So far, the series is level 1-1; this game will decide which team will be marked as the series winner.

By the way, there were also back-to-back 5 T20I games in different cities to make every Indian team supporter happy. And then when the series ends after some days we will see the exciting T20 World Cup tournament in India. Moreover, for tomorrow's game I think India might be the winner due to their magical potential and plans that hopefully will be execute in a great manner.

Indian U-19 cricket team is looking in great form, they have played 2 games and won both. After winning the toss Bangladesh U-19 team decided to bowl first. Bangladeshi U-19 bowlers bowled well but Vaibhav Sooryavanshi 72 and Abhigyan Kundu 80 runs innings helped India U-19 in giving a target of 238 runs. Al Fahad picked 5 wickets from Bangladesh U-19 side. Due to rain match was reduced to 29 overs and Bangladesh U-19 was given a target of 165 runs. Bangladesh U-19 team was able to score 146 runs before losing all wickets in 29th over.
