ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Sithara007]

In the second ODI match, Australia lost their wicket with the first ball and in the third match, like that match, Australia's first wicket fell with the second ball of the innings. At that time, I originally thought that we would see a low scoring match today too. However, looking at the batting of the Australian team under the captaincy of Josh Inglis, it seemed that the runs could cross 250. However, in front of the excellent bowling of the Pakistani bowlers, Australia could not survive for long and were all out for only 157 runs.
When Pakistan came to bat with a target of 158 runs and lost 6 wickets in 112 runs, it seemed that the Australians had a chance to win the match but in the end, due to the conservative batting of Shadab Khan and Abdul Samad, Pakistan finally won by four wickets.
Congratulations to the Pakistan team for winning the series 2-1.

It has been proven time and again that Australia lacks player depth. And this is especially true when they play their matches in the subcontinent. I really don't understand why Marnus Labuschagne is still included in the squads for limited overs format. He is a test player and has a terrible record in both T20Is and ODIs. That said, younger players such as Matt Renshaw and Cooper Connolly also failed to perform. Connolly had a very good IPL season recently for the Punjab Kings. But that is not being reflected when he plays for the national team. In bowling not much can be expected. Nathan Ellis and Cameron Green opened the bowling. That explains everything.

The team that toured Pakistan was a fairly young team. There is no argument that the Australian side I saw growing up, under the captaincy of Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting, totally dominated every team even when they toured the subcontinent.

The Australian cricketing culture shifted drastically after that. There was a time when Australian players would intimidate the opposition into submission, and now the players are soft and they do not play with the same aggression and intensity as their predecessors.

The pitches prepared by Pakistan was spin friendly, and you cannot expect the youngsters to produce magic on dead batting friendly wickets.

If Australia had taken the series seriously and added Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood to the team along with Adam Zampa, the entire situation would have changed. With an ordinary opening bowling lineup, Adam Zampa could not single handedly do everything.

I thought that Pakistan would lose this match again. But Pakistan team totally changed the scenario after 25 overs. Australia was playing very well and I hoped that they would give a target of almost 280+ runs. But they totally collapsed when their captain Josh Inglis got out. He was playing really good innings. He was the only one who made 65 runs otherwise all the players are under 20 runs. I appreciate the performance of Pakistan and congratulations they won the series with 2-1.

The series has finished now and Pakistan won it. By the way, in the last two games, which were set to be played at Lahore Gaddafi Stadium, the pitch was so tricky compared to the previous series. The pitch was not like that in the previous series or in previous matches hosted by Gaddafi Stadium. These tricky pitches were proven so good for the spinners, and even in the Australian team, they believed in a spin attack just like Pakistan.

The 3rd match of the series Australia tour of Pakistan will won by the Pakistan and the final series winner are Pakistan because Pakistan won 2 matches in 3. In 3rd match the Australia team all out in 157 runs in 42 overs The young bowlers of Pakistan Shaheen shah afridi take 3 tickets and Ibrar Ahmad takes 2 wickets Shadab also play a good role Pakistan won the match in 41 overs and lost 4 wickets This was the memorable series ever on homeland Pakistan.

[JahriMeayer]

Finally a thrilling series decider between Pak Vs Aus! Pakistan showed their real fighting skill and securing their win with 4 wickets against Australia. Actually after Australia won the second match, it became unpredictable who was going win the series. Australia’s batting collapsed to 157 runs, only happened due to Pakistan’s sharp strategy & disciplined bowling attack. Shaheen Afridi alone lead from the front His early breakthroughs made extra pressure on Australia and restricted aus to gained more score, although we can't ignore Josh Inglis batting performance. Apart from that, Pakistan did good start, especially middle order stayed calm enough while batting and thus way they controlled the game in the critical moment. That's the reason which made the big difference. Credit goes to Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi including Arafat Minhas impressed us with his hard work & consistency, earned Player of the Series. Overall it was a competitive series where both teams fought hard but Pakistan secured the victory in the end.

No doubt Pakistan won the home ODI series against Australia, but it is still an alarming situation for them because their batting does not have enough depth against average bowlers. They hardly score and win matches in the coming World Cup they are going to face serious problems because they are not well prepared for this.
Just Babar Azam and Shadab Khan have done a decent job with bat all others were not consistent. This needed to be fixed before it was too late. With this preparation, I am not sure that they are going to have good results against quality bowling.
Their bowlers are doing much better with spinners and are also doing a good job. This could give them a good boost, but batting will be a big trouble if this is not settled through consistent and skilled batsmen.

After Pakistan's defeat to Bangladesh, I was not very optimistic about Pakistan's match against Australia, but Pakistan's victory in the first match surprised me a lot, but in the second match, when Australia equalized, I thought that Australia would win the series, but in the last match, the failure of the Australian batsmen and the excellent bowling of the Pakistani bowlers allowed Pakistan to win the match. Although at one point it seemed that Pakistan was going to lose the match, but in the end, due to the patient batting of the last batsmen, they won the match by four wickets.

I think the main problem with the Australian team right now is that their young players lack the level of talent and experience that previous generations had. Many of their great players have retired like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood and others . Because of this the younger players have struggled to match their standards which is one reason Australia has been losing more often recently. They need to find some exceptional young talent especially fast bowlers who can eventually reach the level of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins and lead the team in the future.

I think at that time Australia  cricket team is very weak as comparison to Bangladesh and we should remember the Australia team performance in the last World Cup when they could not qualify for super 8 and Zimbabwe defeated that team . Pakistan is habitual to beat strong team because they have no courage to play against top strength teams and we saw bd quality performance of Pak team in the World cup and next World cup will be in the 2027 . No matters when you are winning against a small team and when you will win against full strength team of Australia, South Africa or IND you will be strong team. Target was very low in this match and credit goes to bowling on Pak team and batting lineup was collapse in this match but still they won this match at the end.

Australia is not a weaker team than Bangladesh and is Australia ahead of Pakistan in the points table. At the moment, Australia's ODI rank is 3, Pakistan's rank is 5 and Bangladesh's is not. Yes, in the last World Cup, we saw Australia exit from the group stage match and they also lost to Zimbabwe, I would like to call it an accident. But in the game, there are wins and losses, it is normal and any big team can lose to any small team at any time.

There were 3 matches in this series and Pakistan victory the last match by maintaining its hard work and strength and it is Pakistan's success that it has defeated the strongest team in history in the series and its people are very happy with this. Therefore, Australia could not set such a strong target and Pakistan batsmen also did not easily meet it. In the second match, Pakistan batsmen could not score 231 runs and they were defeated on that. Therefore, the match was controlled to a large extent and this was Pakistan home, so it was clear that they would succeed here because they prepare in these fields, so they are used to it and they gained the upper hand on that.

I have mentioned earlier many times that pakistan team is not ready for the worldcup because this team is very weak they are not performing well and if they go with this team in worldcup they will be knocked out within just two or three matches of the tournament . If they want save from losses the selectors urgently need some big changes and include impactful and experience players like Shan masood kamran Ghulam saim ayub and specially fakhar and rizwan the backbone of odii team

Pakistan team will show their best batting performance today to defeat Australia team in the third ODI match. In today's match, Australia team was all out for 157 runs, although Pakistan team bowled well in the ODI match, due to which they all out Australia team so quickly. Australia team batsman Josh Inglis only gave a good batting performance, he scored 65 runs in 71 balls, all the other batsmen did not bat well at all. However, in order to meet the target of 157 runs, Pakistan team lost one wicket while batting to achieve their goal, although they still have enough chances, if they bat patiently. Babar Azam is already in the field, if he survives for a long time, then surely Pakistan team will win their ODI series today, and I am hopeful that Pakistan will win the ODI series by defeating Australia team in today's match.

This match is being played between Pakistan and Australia, in which the Australian team batted first and set a target of 157 runs for their opponent. This target is not that big, but now it is to be seen whether the Pakistan team can achieve it or not. Josh Inglis from the Australian team has scored 65 runs, he has scored strong runs for his team. Now the Pakistan team is batting, who have scored 116 runs out of the target so far. They have very few scores left because the target is not that difficult, it is a little, which is a right-handed game for the Pakistan team. Babar Azam from their team has scored 40 runs. The Australian team could not score a big score because their team had already been out. If they had remained strong, they could have scored more runs, but that was not possible.

This match was a very important match for both the teams because Pakistan had also won a match before this match and Australia had also won the third match between them. In this match, Australia's performance was quite poor, due to which they could not set a good target. Their team's players set a target of only 157 runs. If we look at Josh Inglis's 65 runs, apart from this, all the other players looked quite sluggish and there was no team spirit among them. But Pakistan's team completed their target and won this match and the series became two-by-one. Pakistan won two matches in this 3 ODI match series. If we look at it, it took Pakistan's team 41 overs to achieve their target and almost six of their players were also out. Babar Azam scored 40 run in this match.There was teamwork among them due to which they achieved their target.

This was the series decider. We saw Pakistan win the first match. Australia managed to win the  second match. But pakistan  managed to win again in the third match. Pakistan's performance is erratic, there is nothing to criticize about it. But we saw a very  poor performance of the australian batsmen in this series. Australia's batting order is very strong. But they  could not do well in this series. They lost both matches due to poor batting. Australia got the  opportunity to bat first in all three matches. Their highest total was only 231 runs.

It was mostly against Australia because they are a strong team and we has often seen Pakistan as a weak team but in this series their hard work and strength had increased and success was in their favour. Australia had a chance only in this match. In the third match their effort was quite poor and their batsmen could not score runs due to which they lost the series. Now we should not criticize Australia either because it is a game between two teams and victory is for one but the opposing team should play well so that there is no deficiency on their part. Australia's hard work in the first match was still good but they played a little weaker in the last match. The reason for this was that playing in this stadium in Pakistan was difficult that is why the target could not be so big but the Australian bowlers could not do anything which is a disappointment for them.

For some unknown reason, the Australian cricket team loses its form when they visit Pakistan. That is really surprising. Earlier this year, Pakistan beat Australia 3-0 in the T20 series and now they have also managed to beat them in the ODI series. Pakistan team hasn't become so good that they beat big teams, they are still an unpredictable team but they still manage to beat the Australia team and that is a big achievement for them.

[AgriTrack]

This match was played between Sri Lanka and West Indies in which both the teams have tried to make a good score while competing with each other. First, the Sri Lankan team has scored 303 runs while batting. Pathum Nissanka has scored 79 runs from their team. He has worked hard and dedicatedly for his team. He has shown a very good effort in this match for his opponent team. In comparison, the West Indies team has completed a score of 262. Shai Hope has also scored 56 runs from their team. He has also shown hard work but has not succeeded in winning. Because his team had already been out, due to which they are left with a few scores. Only a few players from their team have tried well, but due to the negligence of some players, there has been a disruption in the batting, this was taken advantage of by the Sri Lankan team, who won this match

But in the game, there are wins and losses, it is normal and any big team can lose to any small team at any time.

Australia is a very strong team, no one will argue about it. But they have not been in good form recently. Especially since the last World Cup, they have been in bad form. The team could not do well in the World Cup. They were eliminated in the first round. A few days ago, the Australian batsmen could not perform well in the ODI series against Pakistan. Australia lost the series 2-1.

Although Australia is a stronger team than Bangladesh, there is a possibility that they will lose this series. Because this is Bangladesh's home series. And as far as I know, the Bangladesh team is only able to perform well in home matches. They create the pitch as they want and overwhelm the opponent.

Yeah, in this series, the performance of the Pakistan team was erratic, but you know, for several decades, the Pakistan team's performance has never been consistent. No one can predict what the Pakistan team will do next. Sometimes they beat the unbeatable teams, while in the next moment, they lose an easy match. Some players in the recent test series against the Bangladesh team brutally collapsed, and Pakistan lost that series. However, those players performed pretty well on their home ground against the Australian team, which is considered the best team in the ICC.
