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 have made their batting very poor and weak due to which they are not playing strong and well in any match. Their batsman is playing a role in every defeat because their bowling is good and tough to some extent, but their batsmen are not getting close to the target in any way. Yes, they will have to change themselves in such a way that they become strong and play hard which will help them victory the match. Although New Zealand Women have controlled Zimbabwe Women in every way and the Zimbabwe Women team is neither able to score much runs nor does it work hard to make itself successful. The New Zealand Women batsman plays with a lot of effort, that is why they achieved this target very soon and succeeded. This player has worked the most for New Zealand Women in strength and success and there are names for her development from all sides.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh

The first game of Bangladesh and Pakistan ODI series was going to start to tomorrow and if we overview both teams squads then in Pakistani team we found bowling attack like in the form of Shaheen and Haris and also Pakistan has some world class and experienced player like Muhammad Rizwan and in Bangladesh side Bengal Tigers has a strong bowling squad of spinners and also have good batting line up and Bengal in there home grounds looks really in different waves and seems to be a tough opponent and previously they beat almost every strong teams like India and Australia in there home conditions and no doubt Pakistan squad seems to be stronger than Bangladesh but Bangladesh has the edge of home conditions and also Bengal pitches are slow and supporting spinner bowling and Bangladesh have also world well known spinning attack and in tomorrow match If analyzing all the conditions then may be Bangladesh won the game the main reason behinds that is the edge of home conditions to Bangladesh.

Actually, I will also talk about this logic here that although the Pakistan team is currently considered a stronger team than the Bangladesh team, the Bangladesh team has performed strongly on their home ground most of the time. Although the recent times have been bad for them, if we talk about five or six years ago, then the stronger team between India and Australia, the Bangladesh team, defeated them.

I think if the Pakistan team can just improve their batting performance here, they will still have a chance of winning. Because I haven't seen any good batsmen in the current Bangladesh team, even though Liton Das is coming into the ODI format.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh

First ODI between Bangladesh and Pakistan on March 11, 2026, serves as fresh start for both teams as they test new players for future. I agree that Pakistan decision to rest Babar Azam and field experimental squad led by Shaheen Afridi is major gamble, but it is necessary move to find new talent before next World Cup. Bangladesh has massive advantage at their home stadium , where their experienced spinners like Mehidy Hasan Miraz can be very difficult to play on slow, dry pitch. My take is that Bangladesh is favorite for this match because Pakistan young middle order might struggle against spin trap in middle overs. However, if Pakistan new batters can survive early on and post score around 260 or above, their strong bowling attack still gives them real chance to win.

Yes, that is the main problem. There is a lack of batsmen in the Bangladesh team who can perform consistently well which BCB is unable to solve. You will see that Bangladesh batsmen do quite well in the domestic cricket league but perform badly when they join the national team. Yes, Liton Das got a chance in this series but his performance in the ODI format is very bad. If you look at Liton Das' performance in the last 6 ODI matches, you will be surprised, Liton Das has been out for 0 runs in 4 of the last 6 matches, he has scored a total of 6 runs in the last 6 matches, lol. Now let's see if he can prove himself in this series.

Anyway, Bangladesh will be playing at home so I want to keep Bangladesh as favorites, but Pakistan is not a weak opponent, so Bangladesh should perform well.

A year or so back, Litton Kumer Das used to be their best and most consistent batsman. But his form has dipped ever since he was entrusted with the captaincy. That leaves the BCB in some sort of a conundrum. Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been named as the captain for the ODI series, but will Litton continue as the captain for the T20 format? Mehidy has a decent T20I record. Why not make him the captain for all the formats? At least in his case, the performance hasn't dipped after he was given the captainship. Another option is Najmul Hossain Shanto. But he hasn't played limited overs cricket for the last 6 months.

As I said, if Pakistani batsmen can do well, then they have a chance to win this match.

But I don't see anything good in their batting performance so far because after 11.3 overs, they have scored only 47 runs and lost two wickets. If Pakistan bats like this, I don't think their score will go above 250, rather they may score below that.

And if that happens, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the Bangladesh team could win.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh

Situation is very tense in first one day game at Sher-e-Bangla National stadium in Mirpur.
I feel that game is now resting on the backs of Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha who are trying to put their pair on track to fight an unstoppable attack by Nahid Rana.
As long as they can push score to your 260 mark like you said, fast bowlers of Pakistan have chance to fight, although at this time it is Bangladesh control of middle overs that makes them likely ones to win 1-0 series.

As soon as you see, two more wickets of the Pakistan team have fallen, which means that Mohammad Rizwan has been dismissed for just 10 runs, he could not contribute anything for the Pakistan team today.
Now only Salman Agha is left on the pitch, his condition does not seem very good from my point of view, I think he will also be dismissed very soon.

And currently they have scored only 64 runs after the 16overs after losing 4 wickets. It is understood that the Bangladeshi bowlers have been able to put the Pakistan team's batsmen under good pressure and from this, at least one thing can be expected that since the Pakistan team is doing badly in batting performance, Bangladesh's chances of winning this match against them are high.

I didn't know that there was a cricket match today. I checked the scoreboard and was very surprised. What a strange batting Pakistan is doing!!!! Pakistan has lost 8 wickets after scoring 81 runs. Pakistan will probably not be able to score even 100. Pakistan has not done well in the World Cup. On the other hand, Bangladesh team has not participated in the World Cup. I thought Pakistan would do well. But in the first match of the series, Pakistan team faced a terrible batting disaster.

[tbterryboy]

An early exit in the T20 World Cup and now having a terrible start against Bangladesh in the first ODI means than Pakistan cricket is heading for another long downfall due to too much political influence and the worst selections. Parchi players have no talent, while quality players are failing to have any chance due to biased selectors.

Bangladesh chased 114 runs within just 15 overs and won the match by 8 wickets. It's a big moment for them in the white ball format. Nahid Rana 5 for 24 and Mehdi Hassan Miraz 3 for 28 destroy Pakistan's new and inexperienced batting lineup.

After this, Tanzid Hasan's 66 runs are a good start to this series. With this performance, most likely Bangladesh will win this series by 3 - 0.

Today Muhammad Rizwan was playing after about 4 months and that is really a long period but when he comes, he was early trying to tip the bowl and try to have as much running between the wickets as possible but still he was struggling and that time Pakistan was in deep trouble. As the game progressed, Muhammad Rizwan hardly smashed a boundary, and then after playing 20 balls and scoring just 10 runs, he was back in the pavilion. In this long period of about 4 months, it was very bad for him that he did not make any progress, even worse than the previous.

Pakistan was struggling a bit early, Maaz scored 18 off 28 balls, he was playing good and batting according to the conditions and also not making mistakes but due to Nahid Rana's magical bowling Maaz got out, however hopefully in the next game he will make a comeback with his amazing performance such as he did in the previous domestic or Pakistan B teams.

Anyway, if we talk about the overall Pakistan team performance, it was very bad, they lost early wickets and at 70-odd runs, Pakistan had already lost 6 wickets.

Luckily, Pakistan managed to cross the 100 run mark, but their batting lineup collapsed badly. Nahid Rana tore through the top order and completely dismantled Pakistan's top five. In the end, Bangladesh won very comfortably by 8 wickets in hand. Pakistan mainly struggled because Bangladesh's domestic cricket system is currently producing strong talent. Their young players and U-19 prospects have been performing consistently well, and today's match simply a clear example of that.

I was expecting that since Pakistan team is in a slightly stronger position than Bangladesh team in ODI format, they will have more chances to win but here we have seen the opposite performance from Pakistan team's batsmen.
I already said in my previous post that if Pakistan can bat well then they have chances to win but here we have seen Pakistan team completely fail to survive in front of Bangladeshi bowlers due to which Bangladesh team easily crossed only 115 target. Now it remains to be seen whether Pakistan can recover from them in the upcoming matches.

Otherwise, if their batting performance continues like this, then there is a possibility that Pakistan will be whitewashed by Bangladesh in this series.

The first game of Bangladesh and Pakistan ODI series was going to start to tomorrow and if we overview both teams squads then in Pakistani team we found bowling attack like in the form of Shaheen and Haris and also Pakistan has some world class and experienced player like Muhammad Rizwan and in Bangladesh side Bengal Tigers has a strong bowling squad of spinners and also have good batting line up and Bengal in there home grounds looks really in different waves and seems to be a tough opponent and previously they beat almost every strong teams like India and Australia in there home conditions and no doubt Pakistan squad seems to be stronger than Bangladesh but Bangladesh has the edge of home conditions and also Bengal pitches are slow and supporting spinner bowling and Bangladesh have also world well known spinning attack and in tomorrow match If analyzing all the conditions then may be Bangladesh won the game the main reason behinds that is the edge of home conditions to Bangladesh.

This odi game was ended and this game was completely one sided because Pakistan batsmen performed very poor. In start of game, Bangladesh team won toss and they elected field lineup first and gave batting line to Pakistan team. Pakistan batsmen set 114 runs target in 50 overs by losing all wickets. Farhan batsmen batted well in opening of line and he made 27 runs in 38 balls and hitted four 4s. Nahid bowler bowled very well and he took down 5 wickets in 7 overs and gave 24 runs. Mehidy effort was very helpful in bowling and he dismissed 3 wickets of Pakistan team. Bangladesh team won 1 st ODI game by big margin 209 balls and 8 wickets. Saif did not perform well in opening of line and made only 4 runs. But Tanzid showed brilliant effort and he scored 67 runs in 42 balls and hitted seven 4s and five 6s.

Congratulations Bangladesh team won 1 st ODI game out of 3.

In the end, Bangladesh won very comfortably by 8 wickets in hand. Pakistan mainly struggled because Bangladesh's domestic cricket system is currently producing strong talent. Their young players and U-19 prospects have been performing consistently well, and today's match simply a clear example of that.

Nahid Rana was so good today, after every single wicket he was getting even more excited and that was really bad for the team of Pakistan. No doubt Nahid Rana was bowling greatly and smart bowling, bowling according to the field set, he knew how to trap the batsmen but on the other end, it was really disappointing for Pakistan. Before Nahid Rana was bowling with about 135 to 140 kmph speed, but as he took the wicket, that even boosted his energy more so that he even crossed 145 and 146 Kmph.

[Mahdirakib]

After this, Tanzid Hasan's 66 runs are a good start to this series. With this performance, most likely Bangladesh will win this series by 3 - 0.

The pitch in Shere Bangla National Stadium is always difficult for batting. The inexperienced players of Pakistan will face difficulties to play there for this reason. So, there won't be anything to surprise if Pakistan lose the series by 3 - 0. But I'm expecting Pakistan to win the second match. Pakistan may do better if they bowl first in the match. The fearless batting of Tanzid Hasan Tamim helped Bangladesh to win the match easily.

I think Sahibzada Farhan is not much good option as an opener in one day cricket because he used to smash boundaries and then after hitting big scores and after providing momentum to the team he used to get out which is good for T20 matches but not in ODI games so Pakistan can use him on the number 4 or whatever any other place where he can fit easily. Anyway still today he scored well, smashed four boundaries and at the same time he was trying to be settle on the pitch to be familiar with this format.

Yes, In the ODI game between Pakistan and Bangladesh not a quality cricket to be seen from the side of Pakistan and Bangladesh beat the Pakistan by 8 wickets. Pakistan opens inning first with Sahib Zada Farahan and Mazz Sadaqat  and both the openers gives a normal start to the team and Farhan played a defensive innings of 27 runs and also Mazz on his dabue game scores just 18 runs and in middle order all the Pakistani team was panicked and Bengal bowlers completely dominating the game and only Faheem stable the score card by scoring 37 runs and at the end of the innings Pakistan set a very low target of 115 runs. Bangladesh opens inning with Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan and among the openers Tanzid was in amazing form and played the winning knock of 67 runs but Saif lost his wicket early on 4 runs and also Najmul Hossain played very carefully and scores 27 runs and Bangladesh can easily chase the target and won the game
