ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Major skills difference was shown when New Zealand women beat Zimbabwe women with 180 runs, White Ferns scored amazing runs of 354, with Brooke Halliday leading the way with great 157 runs. New Zealand had safe score of more than seven runs per over, as compared to Zimbabwe who could not match score but instead they were all out at 174 runs despite brave half century by Kelis Ndhlovu. One way that Zimbabwe can close this split is by having more chances to play against top players such as New Zealand, or even against bowlers world can enjoy, such as Amelia Kerr, in order to get used to higher speed of pro game.

Zimbabwe Women were defeated by a very large margin, although they played well and could have beaten them by going close to the target, so if their batsmen had worked hard, perhaps they could have victory. This can also be estimated from the fact that their batsmen have made this target for only 3 wickets and this has been done due to their good effort and strength and they have also achieved success. This was their negligence, if they had played well and scored a few runs, they could have achieved the target because this match was to be played in 50 overs, due to which they could have achieved it. For this, Zimbabwe Women should strengthen themselves and make changes within themselves to defeat New Zealand Women which will create interest in this series.

This is because of their poor performance, yes they should have struggled but they were pressured by the NZ Women's bowlers owing to which their target also increased and they struggled in bowling and won. The Zim Women's players were not pressured that's why they could struggle till 3 wickets before they got a big target and lost. They played badly in it, they could not score runs quickly in this game, even if they had worked hard in it, they would have been out, that's why their poor performance should be improved. Congratulations to NZ Women on this better performance and they have to play better in the same way so that they can defeat Zim Women in every game and continue to winning. I will not see such a better performance in them.

Actually, we don't have to worry about this Zimbabwe women's team and New Zealand women's team cricket tour separately because Zimbabwe women's team is a much weaker team than New Zealand women.
We have already seen the results in the T20 series and in the first match of the ODI series we have seen a one-sided match. And I think we will see the same results in today's match.
The New Zealand women's team has already won the toss and decided to bowl and I think they will not be able to go above 200 runs today and the New Zealand women's team is going to achieve a victory very easily.

You were totally right because New Zealand women team crushed Zimbabwe in one sided match.
White Ferns won toss and as result of choosing to bowl first, they got Zimbabwe out making only 102 runs with captain Amelia Kerr giving a great show of 7 wickets for 34 runs. NZ were able to reach small goal within 16.2 overs, which saw them win by 8 wickets to take lead that cannot be beaten of 2-0 in three game series. Basically I agree with your point about huge gap between these two teams as New Zealand has taken this tour as chance to give lessons to young new players and at same time keeping them under total control.

The ODI game between New Zealand Women and Zimbabwe Women has come to an end with victory of New Zealand Women by 8  wickets. Zimbabwe opens inning first with Kelis Ndhlovu and Modestor and but openers don't put a great impact on Kiwis Women and Ndhlovu scores just 12 runs and but Modester played very well and   scores 32 runs but in middle order all the team was panicked and Kiwis bowlers completely destroyed the Zimbabwe batting lineup and only Audrey played a well and scores 13 runs  and at the end of the innings Zimbabwe set a very low target of 103 runs. New Zealand opens inning Amelia Kerr and Isabella Gaze and  both the openers Amelia was amazing in batting in this innings and played a good innings of 45 runs and also Gaze with 20 runs puts her positive efforts for team and in middle order with the with good technique and Maddy Greens 27 runs New Zealand can  easily chase the target successfully.

NZ Women kept their batting strong and this match has been played between women. If we look at their team, Amelia Kerr has scored 45 runs. Only a few women from her team have achieved the target which is a good thing and in second place Maddy Green has scored 27 runs and is not out. It is a good thing for the team that they have played this match strong and from the Zimbabwe team, Modester Mupachikwa has scored 32 runs which is considered a bit low score because this catch consisted of 50 overs so they had a chance to make more target but they failed to make the lead. The Zimbabwe team did not keep their batting strong due to which they faced defeat. Audrey Mazvishaya from the Zimbabwe team has given 28 runs to the New Zealand team while  In comparison, New Zealand's female bowler Rosemary Mair has conceded 17 runs, which is a good thing. She has allowed the next team to score less and has also stopped their score, which is why the New Zealand team took advantage

That was  one sided match because Zimbabwe W International cricket team performance was very bad in the second match of the series and they lose their wickets at the start of the match and opponent team bowlers effort was great in this match and that was the reason they easily won this match. Amelia Kerr performance was great because she took 7 wickets in this match which was an extra ordinary effort in this match and Penfold performance was also at top because she took 3 wickets in this match and they won this match due to great bowling skills and batters made that score because score was very low in this match. Amelia Kerr gave all round performance in this match because he was leading from the front because she was a captain of that team and she made 45 runs in this match.

Actually, after looking at the batting performance score of the Zimbabwe women's team, I felt that I had made the wrong assumption that they would get close to 200 runs or be all out before 200 runs. Here, their situation was such that it was doubtful whether they could somehow cross 100 runs.

Anyway, I don't really understand the real meaning of such series, I don't understand what they are actually organized for. Because in such series we already know which team will actually win. If the series of Bangladesh women's team or Pakistan women's team or Sri Lankan women's team was announced with Zimbabwe women's team, then I would have understood some of the meaning of holding such series.

Amelia Kerr performance was great because she took 7 wickets in this match which was an extra ordinary effort in this match and Penfold performance was also at top because she took 3 wickets in this match and they won this match due to great bowling skills and batters made that score because score was very low in this match. Amelia Kerr gave all round performance in this match because he was leading from the front because she was a captain of that team and she made 45 runs in this match.

ZIM W player Modester Mupachikwa scored only 32 runs and These were more runs than his teammates. Kelis Ndhlovu and Tendai Makusha scored 12 runs, Audrey Mazvishaya scored 13 runs and the rest of the players were out for zero.  Many people were familiar with such a performing because NZ W had shown their strength and super performing to ZIM W  in the first game. Amelia Kerr is the only woman who played nice in bowling and also scored the most runs in the wins and took 7 wickets. Molly Penfold took 3 wickets with her hard work and changed the expectations of people. Now it is useless to have any kind of hope from ZIM W, this was the opportunity that could have put them in the minds of people, which they ended.

Zimbabwe Women were in very hard 2nd ODI match with New Zealand and they were all out at very low score of 102 runs with all-time play of Amelia Kerr. I agree that hope could be low, but team had two record-breaking games as Kerr took 7 wickets at 34 runs, biggest in New Zealand past and also scored 45 runs to lead her team to 8-wicket win.
I feel that although Modester Mupachikwa was very tough with 32 runs, other members of team were not able to stand up to top bowling of Kerr and Molly Penfold who took 3 early wickets and made gap. Although end looks one sided, it is instead result of world-level skill brought out by New Zealand and rare play of Kerr but not lack of talent in Zimbabwe team.

Zimbabwe made good start, 34/0 but when Kelis Ndlovu was struck by short ball, forcing him to leave injured, and Molly Penfold opened with burst of 3/17,  top part of Zimbabwe team was broken. This was followed by Amelia Kerr becoming first woman in New Zealand history to take 7 wickets with giving 34 runs, and also making 45 runs and winning match by 8 wickets. Though end result was one sided as you said, it was more exactness of New Zealand best at University Oval than weakness of Zimbabwe team.

This happened because of their carelessness, if their batsmen had played well and had not been in trouble in any way, their target would have been strong and it could have been a defeat for New Zealand Women. The entire New Zealand Women team played very well and with hard work, their good play also gave them victory in this series and defeated Zimbabwe Women in this match. Although they can easily succeed in the next match because New Zealand Women have victory both matches with strong and hard work. This batsman played a lot of hard work which is a strength of New Zealand Women, they played well and hurt Zimbabwe Women for the development of their team. Zimbabwe Women batsman was not interesting and ready for this victory, due to which this batsman scored so many runs and lost in this match due to a weak target.

New Zealand W team is ready to beat in next match because that is very strong team and they have multiple players who can perform well in next Matches. Amelia Kerr has good status in team because she played at very crucial time when it was need of the team and she gave hundred percent effort in all matches. Zimbabwe W team is not strong team because they could not make team which can play against excellent teams and they can win match against small teams and that could not win match against big teams due to rare talent in tahf country and they should try to work on their weaknesses and if they will work hard then they will be able to get respect on International level.

When New Zealand Women won the first match there were some hopes that Zimbabwe Women would win the second match and defeat New Zealand but Zimbabwe Women disappointed their fans.Zimbabwe Women scored only 102 runs in the first innings which was a left handed game for New Zealand Women. New Zealand Women are a strong team due to which they could not compete with Zimbabwe Women.Zimbabwe Women need to practice in both actions otherwise they will never be strong. Zimbabwe Women captain needs to improve his team they should see the performance with teamwork because New Zealand Women team has commendable and excellent batsmen and bowlers.Among them Amelia Kerr and Molly Penfold come at the first place.

Zimbabwe Women  team scored 102 runs and they all wickets. In ODI match playing like that is not well they should played with patience, strategy and planning then their total runs could be 250 plus but they showed poor and irresponsible inning. On the other hand New Zealand Women team bowled very well firstly. They dismissed all team at lowest total runs. Since it was not tough total so NZ women team chased it in 16.2 overs. Amelia Kerr scored highest runs form his team, she scored 45 runs in 40 balls, she hit 1 six and 6 fours. They lost just 2 wickets. NZ team played knockout inning from both sides, batting and bowling and they won the match easily.

They were bowled out for 102. The reason is that Zimbabwe women's team doesn't have any British-based players, unlike the case with the men's team. If you remember, it was Brian Bennett and Brad Evans who did most of the heavy lifting during the recently concluded ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Without them, they could have never qualified for the Super8 stage. But the women's team is entirely dependent on players who are based in Zimbabwe. It has been more than 3 decades since Zimbabwe got their test status. If they continue to perform like this, then IMO the status need to be revoked.

The reason for Zimbabwe's loss could also be that their player named Kelis Ndhlovu scored 12 runs off 27 balls after which she retired. The reason for her retirement was that the bowler hit a bouncer while bowling, causing the player to fall down and she had to retire.Perhaps that is why their entire team was dissatisfied and could not perform well and soon all their player were out.At the last over they scored a total of 102 run which helped the New Zealand Women team to chase the target they had set and they achieved a brilliant victory. In this way, they won by eight wickets in 202 balls. This match was not an ordinary match, but the second ODI match, the decision of which helped them move forward a lot and this opportunity was wasted by the Zimbabwe Women team. The Zimbabwe team lost two of their players in chasing the target set by the Zimbabwe team.

Kelis Ndhlovu scored one half-century during the entire series (52 at Dunedin during the first WODI). I don't think she could have got Zimbabwe to a winning position even if she hadn't retired. Modester Mupachikwa was the only batter who showed some sort of resistance, as she scored 32 from 51 balls. Else everyone just meekly surrendered to the New Zealand bowlers. Amelia Kerr returned unbelievable figures of 9.1-1-34-7. Molly Penfold picked up the remaining three wickets. The scorecard shows how completely outclassed the Zimbabwean women were during the match.
