What a dramatic end of the 3rd ODI match. Australia should have won the match very easily, but they hardly managed to win the match narrowly. They won the match by 1 wicket only. Australia needed 9 runs from the last 5 overs, they had 5 wickets in hand. Where the set batsman Cooper Connolly was dominating with his performance. Surprisingly they lost 4 more wickets to score the remaining runs. Shoriful Islam bowling performance was magnificent today.

Australia's overall performance has fallen badly as we have seen for a long time. They lost the first two matches against Bangladesh. They were very lucky in today's match so they managed to secure the win till the end.

There is no denying that Australia won the match thanks to opener Cooper Connolly's incredible innings. Connolly played an excellent innings of 149 runs from 134 balls. Australia batted at a target of 275 runs. Even after such a brilliant performance by the opener, it was very difficult for them to win the match. Such a performance from a team like Australia is pathetic.

The rain reduced the match to 25 overs in the 1st ODI between India Vs Afghanistan. I must say, Afg fought hard, Especially Rahmanullah Gurbaz gave his everything & played a fearless innings. His brilliant century(102) from 51 balls was enough to create pressure on the opponent.however India showed great control in bowling line and tired hard preventing Afg from crossing the 200 runs mark. afterwards, India looked calm and dominant. Captain Shubman showed his skill, led from the front with an unbeaten 84, controlling the innings carefully under pressure and earning the Player of the Match title. Ishan Kishan provided support and KL Rahul ensured there were no need to worries. India maintained a healthy run rate & able to disallowed Afg to build momentum or made them weak. Overall it was a professional performance from India, showing their strong batting depth, disciplined bowling line including the excellent game awareness in a rain affected match

By playing first Afghanistan team scored 194 runs and lost all wickets. In starting they played well inning. Rahmanullah Gurbaz played outstanding and responsible inning. But in whole team no one could play responsible role except Gurbaz. So they gave lowest total against India team. On the other hand Indian team bowled outstanding bowling. Brar and Dubey bowled outstanding bowling they dismissed 6 players and gave lowest runs. Since it was lowest total so they chased this total very easily. Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan played brilliant inning. They built great partnership. So they performed well and won the match by 7 wickets.

Australia team defended their honor today in this ODI match against Bangladesh and won their last match by one wicket. Cooper Connolly's unparalleled batting performance which brought the Australian team victory, he scored 149 runs in 134 balls. Cooper Connolly opened the batting and took the team to the edge of victory and they won the series 2-1 against Bangladesh. Shoriful Islam bowled brilliantly in the bowling performance of Bangladesh team, he took 6 wickets in total, this ODI series was very exciting. However, in today's match, if Bangladesh team could have dismissed Australia's opening batsman Cooper Connolly early, then this match would have been in Bangladesh's possession, but anyway Bangladesh team also played well.

Australia performance really surprised everyone especially Cooper Connolly batting line.He made it easy for the team by hitting 13 fours and 6 sixes in an aggressive manner.Cooper Connolly runs were heavy on all the Bangladesh batsmen.Both of them performed well overall.It would have been better if Australia had won the second match so that there would have been a level match because Bangladesh were very confident in the third match because they had already won the series.The Australian batsmen put up a very strong partnership in the third match.If the Australian team wants, they can avenge their defeat in the T20 series.Thats why  Australia needs a lot of practice so that there is no negligence.

Australia's overall performance has fallen badly as we have seen for a long time. They lost the first two matches against Bangladesh. They were very lucky in today's match so they managed to secure the win till the end.

This is not the full strength Australian squad that was sent to Pakistan and Bangladesh. Australia's core bowling line up is taking a much needed rest after the IPL. Having already lost two matches and the series against Pakistan, Australia has now suffered the same fate against Bangladesh .

There is no denying that Australia won the match thanks to opener Cooper Connolly's incredible innings. Connolly played an excellent innings of 149 runs from 134 balls. Australia batted at a target of 275 runs. Even after such a brilliant performance by the opener, it was very difficult for them to win the match. Such a performance from a team like Australia is pathetic.

If not for the brilliant performance by Cooper Connolly, Bangladesh would have whitewashed Australia.

Cooper Connolly's unparalleled batting performance which brought the Australian team victory, he scored 149 runs in 134 balls. Cooper Connolly opened the batting and took the team to the edge of victory and they won the series 2-1 against Bangladesh. Shoriful Islam bowled brilliantly in the bowling performance of Bangladesh team, he took 6 wickets in total, this ODI series was very exciting. However, in today's match, if Bangladesh team could have dismissed Australia's opening batsman Cooper Connolly early, then this match would have been in Bangladesh's possession, but anyway Bangladesh team also played well.

Australia played well in this one match, if they had tried hard and worked hard in the other matches, they could have victory there too, but they did not show interest, so Bangladesh took advantage of it and victory the series. Bangladesh batsmen had given a good target but they were not very tough in bowling, so the Australian batsmen succeeded by scoring 277 runs and escaped a whitewash. Bangladesh bowlers tried hard but they were not paying much attention to stopping the runs, so Australia won the match before completing the last few balls. Bangladesh played very well in this series and Australia changed themselves in the last match and victory the match. Australian batsmen lost 9 wickets, but whoever batsman would have played, they would have scored runs, due to which they have achieved such a big target.

The 1st ODI game between India and Afghanistan was really enjoyable and India consistently win this game. Afghanistan opens innings first and what a historic knock played by Rahmanullah Gurbaz in this game and puts a remarkable century but after that not any single batter puts good start and they lost wickets continuously until the team was all out and Afghanistan set a very low target.
India has very aggressive lineup and they also has the edge of home conditions and among the openers Shubman Gill was very outstanding in this game and played an unbeatable knock and also KL Rahul was very brilliant and played a very aggressive knock and also reamian not out at the ends of the innings and they won the game

Australia performance really surprised everyone especially Cooper Connolly batting line.He made it easy for the team by hitting 13 fours and 6 sixes in an aggressive manner.Cooper Connolly runs were heavy on all the Bangladesh batsmen.Both of them performed well overall.It would have been better if Australia had won the second match so that there would have been a level match because Bangladesh were very confident in the third match because they had already won the series.The Australian batsmen put up a very strong partnership in the third match.If the Australian team wants, they can avenge their defeat in the T20 series.Thats why  Australia needs a lot of practice so that there is no negligence.

In my opinion if we don't see that much performance from the Cooper Connolly in this match I don't think it would be possible that he Australia teams win.
Moreover, if we only look at the score, then it can be understood that the Australian team struggled to win this match, they had only one wicket in hand and at the same time only three balls left. But even then, the Australian team winning this match was unexpected for me after such a poor performance. Now let's see if Australian team could recover their reputation in the T20 format.

There are some mistakes in the Bangladesh team, they did not take today's match seriously, maybe the Bangladesh team players thought they would win this match because they thought the Australian team was weak after winning the past two matches. But Cooper Connolly has proven that the Australian team is not weak, he fought alone for the Australian team and collected half of them. The captain of the Bangladesh team's bowling leadership has been a bit lazy and careless,
whereas if the bowling activity had been completed with Shariful Islam earlier, it seems that the Australian team would have been under a lot of pressure and likely to lose. The bowling activity was not completed completely with Shariful Islam, so I can blame this on the Bangladesh team.

I have seen a consistency in BAN performing, if they have had a deficit, it was their bowling in which they could not freeze runs and this became a big cost for AUS in which BAN could not close this wins. It was not only for them but many people thought that BAN would win this game on its own merit. If we look at the review of this entire series, AUS is weak because it cannot be said that AUS was not weak by wins one game. They salute their performing which saved their team from this humiliation but it is a series so the reality of AUS will remain the same as what BAN got in the first 2 games. They would have taken the game till the last over with their side and thinking but their bowler had increased the number of runs so in the end they had to go with defeat on the field and with the series win.

Yeah, 3rd game between Bangladesh and Australia was very interesting because after winning this game Australia save them from white wash and after losing this game Bangladesh won the series. Bangladesh opens innings first and the top order was not in good form and not gives a positive start to the team but the middle order was very brilliant and Towhid Hridoy was in good batting position and puts a high quality knock today and Bangladesh ends the innings with a very strong target on a tricky pitch.

Australian batters looking mentally very strong because if they lost this game they actually loss there legacy so to prevent there dignity all Australian batters puts there best efforts and especially the knock of Cooper Connolly was very enjoyable and the historic knock he done  and in middle order Cameron Green and other batters puts great efforts and finally chase the target and won this game.

After winning this series, Bangladesh's confidence will boost a lot. They've now confirmed four straight bilateral ODI series wins with a 2-1 scoreline. Bangladesh also came very close to a 3-0 win over Australia, but Cooper Connolly's performance helped Australia avoid this defeat. No other Australian batters could really stand against the Bangladeshi bowlers, it was only Cooper's innings that kept the Aussies from humiliation. If this never give up attitude is part of Bangladesh's current squad, we might see big improvements in their T20 game too.

[noormcs5]

In the end Aussies must be happy that they avoided a 3-0 defeat in ODI series. Cooper Connolly who has previous best score of 61 runs in ODI played today an innings of 149 runs. Aussies won the game just because of Cooper Connolly superb batting today otherwise they would have lost the last game also. Shoriful Islam also bowled best spell of his ODI career by picking 6 wickets but still his team lost the game. Next both teams will play T20I series and Bangladesh need to maintain this form if they want to the T20I series also.

Finally, at the end of the series, we found Australia winning the game. Still, it does not matter because at the end of the day you guys lost the series so Australia needs to work hard and play better cricket as the next upcoming ICC tournament will be of ODI matches and of course every team is playing more and more one day games just to be prepared for that World Cup which comes once in four years. The series result is 2 win for Bangladesh and 1 win for Australia.

Cooper Connolly stood alone, and it resulted in Australia winning the game just because of his amazing century, almost 150. He couldn't finish the game or score 150. He lost his wicket at the last second, in the last over, when Australia were on 271 and at that time the suspense and intensity level touched the sky because when Cooper Connolly lost his wicket, the team was at the 9th wicket. Means one more mistake by the next batsman and all the hard work of Cooper Connolly would have been wasted.

Nobody knows what is made with the Australia International cricket team because that team was very strong in the past and they made history for many times but now they are looking very weak. Australia cricket team was very close to lose this match because at the end bowling of Bangladesh bowlers was outclass in this match and all players were trying to hit but Shoriful Islam took 6 wickets in this match and made his best performance in this match but his team lose this match because of their silly mistakes in this match. Cooper Connolly made a match for the team but after that when he was out in second last over team was close to lose this match but his team won this match due to his top class effort.

This match was also very close for Bangladesh to win but at the end, Australia won that game in the last over. So this teaches us that Australia has not been so good in one-day cricket recently, since there was similar behavior by their team on the Lahore and Rawalpindi pitches in Pakistan.
Well, Cooper played so incredibly, he was named the man of the match and he deserved to be because he played a match-winning innings of 149 runs.

[Publictalk792]

The series result is 2 win for Bangladesh and 1 win for Australia.

It was different game that match, to be honest. Connolly 149 from 134 balls was good match winning knock as he practically forced himself on the task as wickets fell by his side. Taskin was then hit for three straight sixes in the 45th over, which was final blow. He was a mile better than Australia would have been without him. On the other hand, Shoriful was amazing, with career best of 6 wickets for 48 runs, and he pulled off impossible. Four wickets for five runs at the end brought everyone to his senses that Bangladesh could take it. In the end, just was not enough. But Bangladeshes must not be taken anything away, for they have got first-ever 2-1 series win against Australia in two team ODI series. Australia escape from total sweep is a small comfort but series result is the story. Now, T20I series begins on June 17 and it will be interesting to see if Bangladesh can continue this drive.

India A vs Sri Lanka A

This was great game! At the end of 50 overs, the score was tied at 265 for both the teams.
Game turned into Super Over and Sri Lanka A held their nerve to come out on top and clinch the match. Sri Lanka A batsmen, despite India A 265, which appeared to be solid score, were able to fight all way till final ball, to even the scores. Sri Lanka A were under extreme pressure in Super Over but were better team and won. It was amazing match in all aspects. It was contest right to the death!

This match was also very close for Bangladesh to win but at the end, Australia won that game in the last over. So this teaches us that Australia has not been so good in one-day cricket recently, since there was similar behavior by their team on the Lahore and Rawalpindi pitches in Pakistan.
Well, Cooper played so incredibly, he was named the man of the match and he deserved to be because he played a match-winning innings of 149 runs.

Consolation win for Australia after having 2 losses in the first 2 games. This match was also interesting till the end. Cooper Conolly did a good job he has good potential to play big innings and match-winning innings. Bring him in; he is good for the T20 series, which is going to start in a few days, but overall, the Australian performance is not good. First they lost against Pakistan and now against Bangladesh.

While things are amazing for Bangladesh, they are improving their skills and also have good experience, which is helping them to have wins against big teams. They could be better in the coming days as well if they are able to keep this momentum. Bangladesh needs a strong domestic structure for the development of youngsters as well.

Cooper Conolly has not performed very well before this match but he is relatively young. Yes, he contributed the most to the victory in this match but he could not handle the pressure at the end and he was out in the end, putting the team in danger.
When Australia needed nine runs, they had 5 wickets in their hands but they lost four wickets to make the next five runs. I will not say that Australia won this match well because if they had not missed two catches at the end, Australia might have had to leave the field with defeat.
In the end, if Taskino had bowled well, Bangladesh would probably have won this match too.

India A vs Sri Lanka A

This was great game! At the end of 50 overs, the score was tied at 265 for both the teams.
Game turned into Super Over and Sri Lanka A held their nerve to come out on top and clinch the match. Sri Lanka A batsmen, despite India A 265, which appeared to be solid score, were able to fight all way till final ball, to even the scores. Sri Lanka A were under extreme pressure in Super Over but were better team and won. It was amazing match in all aspects. It was contest right to the death!

This match between Sri Lanka A and India A was a very thrilling and Sri Lanka won the match in the Super over. Sri lanka A played well in super over scored 19 runs on board while India A scored only 9 runs and lost the match. India A is favorite to win this match but the way Sri Lanka A batter played Niroshan Dickwella scored 37 runs opening inning and Sadeera Samarawickrama responsible batting performance scoring 93 runs on board unfortunately they missed his well deserved century by few runs short. India A tried their well to defending the total Ayush Badoni bowl really well picking two crucial wickets but at the end scored was level and Sri Lanka A win match in super over.
