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.

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.

Due to the negligence and shortcomings of the batsman and bowler the team is not able to maintain success.Something similar has happened with the Pakistan team. Since the beginning of 2026 Pakistan has been consistently winning but the last series especially the series and test match against Bangladesh Pakistan has lost very badly due to which the entire team has been affected.Currently Pakistan has corrected its mistakes and defeated a strong team like Australia by a series of 2-1. The main reason for Pakistan weakness was their poor bowling because Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf the best fast bowlers are expected to bowl hard but due to their poor bowling Pakistan had to face defeat but now Pakistan has started a winning streak again and it is hoped that Pakistan will not let this streak break.

Virat Kohli has been ruled out of the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan after suffering a hamstring injury during the just-concluded IPL. Yashasvi Jaiswal has been named as his replacement for the series that kick-starts on June 13.

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed the development while announcing India's squads for the upcoming T20I assignments. Agarkar also remained optimistic of Kohli's chances of featuring in the England ODIs that will be played mid-July. "With Virat at this point, it's just been less than a week since he injured himself in the (IPL) finals. We don't know the timelines yet," Agarkar said. "But it looks like he might be fit for that England one-day series. It's not a definitive answer, so don't hold me to it. I haven't had a clear timeline from the physio yet."

The unofficial match between England and South Africa has started, where England's England Lions squad and South Africa A team are facing each other.
England Lions managed to score 93 runs after 23.3 overs and already lost their five wickets. So it can be said that England Lions have become a bit weak in terms of their batting performance against South Africa A team.
South African team's youngster Nqobani Mokoena has put the England Lions' batsmen under the most pressure in terms of bowling. I don't think England Lions will be able to give South Africa A a good target in the end. And that will give South Africa A a better chance of winning.

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.

As a international team this was not good inning which played by Australia team. By playing first they scored 157 runs and lost all wickets. In whole team just Josh Inglis scored well runs remaining other players could not played well runs. They lost back to back wickets. As a top ranking team it was bad impact. They should played responsible inning because were playing long format but they could not utilise it properly. On the other hand Pakistan team bowled outstanding bowling. They gave lowest runs and dismissed all team at lowest total. Shaheen bowled brilliant bowling although remaining other players bowled well. Since it was lowest total so they chased this total easily. But in batting line they also made blunders. They played more extra balls and played long time. They should chased this total in 30 overs and they could perform this. Anyway they chased this lowest total and won the match.

USA were very strong in planning and preparation . It was crunchy and competitive match between USA and Canada. Canada batted first and took strong start with the opners but after their dismissal team lost their energy. USA bowlers stopped them on lower scores by picking their major wickets at crucial moment. Canada posted 231 runs for 8 wickets. USA played an aggressive innings. Duo of Jayasuriya and Mukamalla both innings were nail biting. Together chased the target and fininshed the game in the favour of their team. They finished their turn only 38th overs. Canada lost this match by 8 wickets.There is a need to reassess or remaking the combination for winning the upcoming series.

This unofficial match was played between South Africa and England lions, in which England set a target of 198 for their team. Caleb Falconer worked the hardest to achieve this and scored 45 for his team, but he could not even complete his half-century. However, he set a very good target. South Africa proved themselves to be much better than them because they had already got a target, which had become quite easy for them to achieve. They fought against this target without getting under pressure and achieved the target by scoring 201 runs. But the biggest thing was that only two players achieved this target. This proves that they were as enthusiastic as they were in today's match. The South African team won this match by 10 wickets and did not get any player out.

South Africa A  cricket team easily won this match because they chased a score very easily by hitting well in this match. Lhuan-dre Pretorius was a person who made century in this match and he was a top class player in this match because he gave good start to his team. He played with excellent strike rate and opponent team made a very small target in this match which was easy to chase by South Africa A  cricket team. England Lions cricket team should try to give at 280 runs target but they could make only 198 in this match and that was a reason they lose this match at the end. Rubin Hermann also gave his effort and he was very close to  complete his century because he made 83 runs in this match.

Out of three matches in this unofficial One day format competition, one match is still remaining. England Lions squad have already lost this format competition and if they will lose third match and Lions squad will have to face whitewash. Lions squad was started match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 198 scores off 50 overs inning. Nqobani Mokoena bowler  played significant role in getting victory and she managed to pick up 4 vital wickets and restricted Lions squad to low quality scores. Rubin Hermann  and Lhuan-dre Pretorius batters were built strong and long batting partnership and both batters were managed to collect 116 and 83 scores respectively. With 10 wickets, South Africa A squad successfully emerged second victory and won this unofficial competition.

Australia will be without Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh for the upcoming ODI series against Bangladesh, with Josh Inglis continuing as interim captain. Oliver Peake and Matt Short have been retained for the Bangladesh ODIs after initially being named just for the Pakistan one-dayers.Todd Murphy, the off-spinner who has only featured in Tests so far, has also been included. He replaces Tanveer Sangha, the leg-spinner who sustained a hamstring injury during the second ODI in Lahore.

Good that Tanveer Sangha is out. I am sure that the combination of Adam Zampa, Matthew Kuhnemann and Todd Murphy is more suitable to the conditions in Bangladesh (although the latter is more suitable to test cricket). Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne can act as the part-time spin options. Pace will be the biggest worry for Australia. Bowlers such as Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins have the experience to bowl under challenging conditions. I am not sure how Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis and Xavier Bartlett will face it. Cameron Green's medium pace will be handy as well.

I think this is going to be very difficult job for this new look Australia side, particularly on the slow turning wickets when they have to play against Bangladesh. Middle order will have to perform much more responsibly than usual with absence of batters such as Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh. It is great to see new faces such as Oliver Peake getting a longer look and off spinner such as Todd Murphy has been brought in, which is a sign that Australia is working hard for spinners. This is a good opportunity for temporary captain Josh Inglis to show his leadership in this series and take a younger squad to victory, although it is always sad when player such as Tanveer Sangha is injured.

South Africa A the tour of England Lions is going very well.This is the second unofficial ODI match between South Africa A and England Lions in which South Africa A also won.According to the ODI match the target of England Lions was not solid at all. England Lions scored only 198 runs in 47 overs and the whole team collapse.Behind their weak batting was the solid bowling of Nqobani Mokoena.He bowled 8 overs and dismissed 4 important batsmen and made the winning easy.England Lions batsmen formed a very weak partnership and were dismissed one after another.England lions could not bat well and neither could bowl.South Africa A achieved the target of 198 without losing any wickets.Lhuan Dre Pretorius completed his century by hitting 10 fours and 7 sixes and played an important role in the winning.

Travis Head is not included in the playing eleven as per the above post. Basically the same team that faced Pakistan will be touring Bangladesh and with the way how Pakistan were able to defeat this Australian team, I am not optimistic that they will be doing anything different against Bangladesh either. Bangladesh have the home advantage and they defeated Pakistan comprehensively in the last tour.

The situation for USA is going very tough because they have been losing matches for a long time and in today's match too they have an easy target in which they can succeed by working hard. They are facing Netherlands who have given a target of 196. If they keep their bowling strong then this target can also be strong due to their hard working but USA will not have to be careless but will have to play well with hard work and efforts. Netherlands bowler has taken 2 wickets so far and if they work hard to stop the runs then USA can be completely controlled. USA has the advantage that they have less runs and more balls which they can play calmly and can be successful. But their batsmen are more careless due to which they can also lose in the end.

Today was the 3rd match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka and West Indies but the match was abandoned due to rain. Sri Lanka was leading by winning the 1st match and the 2nd and 3rd matches were abandoned due to which Sri Lanka won the series. If the 2nd and 3rd matches were not abandoned then the result of the series might have been different but Sri Lanka was the favourite in this series.

Anyway Sri Lanka won the ODI series. Now both the teams should prepare for the T-20 series.

Oh.. my bad. In that case Labuschagne will be the only part-time option. I admit that Australian morale would be high after the series win against Pakistan. But Bangladesh at home are an entirely different opponent. They have the dustbowl at Mirpur which is a graveyard for the SENA batsmen. If Australia wants to win against Bangladesh, then they need to find a workaround to tackle the Bangladeshi spinners at Mirpur. Obviously Bangladesh will not be playing all their matches at that stadium (all the ODIs at Mirpur, and all the T20Is at Chattogram), but for a successful tour, winning at Mirpur is necessary.

Rain should have been declared the winner of this series as two matches have been abandoned due to rain out of the 3 matches . After winning the first ODI match, Sri Lanka was quite favourite to win the series. The result could have been indeed different though if all the matches were played. Both teams are favorites to win the T20 series now.

Australia doesn't look that strong anyway because they haven't shown much strength in the series recently and still some of their players who have become their strength are not included. Australia will still be strong against Bangladesh in this series and if Bangladesh makes some good decisions for themselves then they can victory. If Bangladesh batsmen are successful in giving a good and strong target and bring toughness in their bowling then they can once again send Australia to disappointment. I have found Bangladesh enough strong in the previous matches if they use the same hard work and effort then they can defeat Australia. Tomorrow the first match will be played between these two in which we will see a different strength and its result will also be something different.

Bangladesh vs Australia First ODI

The match has started and Australia won the toss and they chose to field first. Bangladesh is playing their turn at this time and they are playing little well. Bangladesh has made 65 runs in 10 overs and lost only one wicket. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Tanzid Hasan are playing on the pitch and trying to make a good partnership. If Bangladesh plays well and makes a good target like 280+ runs so I think they can win this match easily.

Remember that this match is being played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Even a total of 200 is going to be enough, as Australian batsmen need to face Bangladeshi spinners on a dustbowl. And at the moment they are 113/2 after just 18.2 overs. Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan has gone back to the pavilion, with Nathan Ellis taking both the wickets to fall till now. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Litton Das are at the crease. It looks like the match is firmly in the grasp for Bangladesh. Australia needs some quick wickets here and for that Xavier Bartlett and Liam Scott needs to back up Ellis.
