Ireland Women vs West Indies Women

Ireland took the first shot, and batted fairly well to 269 all out. This was the amazing thing that happened next. Matthews and Realeanna Grimmond put together record-breaking 258-run opening partnership, the largest partnership for West Indies Women for any wicket in an ODI, better than previous record of 204. West Indies looked very confident as they required 270 runs and they chased it easily in 38.4 overs.

Yep, ODI series stated between Ireland W and West Indies W and the first game of this series was very enjoyable and what quilty cricket can be seen from the West Indies W side in every department like in bowling and in batting even in the home conditions of their opponents. Ireland W after winning the toss elected to bat first and the openers gives a good start to the team and in middle order Amy Hunter was so good and she puts a remarkable knock of ninety six runs and unfortunately misses her century by just four runs and Ireland W ends the innings with a strong target.

West Indies W now becomes a strong opponent after the T20I World Cup so they gain a lot of confidence from this event and after improvements their top order showing brilliant performances especially Hayley Matthews played a historic knock of one fifty nine runs and also Grimmond was so effective in this game and West Indies W easily chase this strong target and showing dominance in this series by one zero ratio.

At last Bangladesh squad avoided whitewash and after suffering defeat in two consecutive matches and managed to defeat Zimbabwe squad in third match. Zimbabwe squad was begun in this third match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 199 scores after playing 50 overs inning. Shoriful Islam bowler played crucial role in getting victory and he managed to pick up 4 significant wickets and restricted them at low quality scores. Soumya Sarkar and Tanzid Hasan both were top scorer of this match and both batters were played superb inning and managed to collect 94 and 69 scores respectively. With 7 wickets and 84 deliveries,  Bangladesh squad succeeded to defeat Zimbabwe squad but lost this one day format competition.

Finally, Bangladesh got the taste of victory in Zimbabwe in the current series. Although Zimbabwe did not go into this match with the aim of winning, rather they gave a chance to the players sitting on the bench. If Zimbabwe had taken the field with an unchanged XI, then maybe Bangladesh would have lost today's match too. I do not want to say anything special for Bangladesh due to the victory in the last ODI match, they are already going through a humiliating time.

Bangladesh still has a 3-match T20 series in Zimbabwe, if Bangladesh can win this series with dominance, then maybe they can return home with honor. Otherwise, if they lose the T20 series too, then it will definitely be humiliating for Bangladesh. Both the teams may announce a strong squad for the T20 series

Bangladesh will win today but after losing the series, Bangladesh is going to win the last match. If Bangladesh could have performed as well as they did in the first two matches, then the series would not have been lost, rather Bangladesh would have won the series. But Bangladesh's batsmen have performed very badly in the first two matches where there were two very easy wins but Bangladesh have missed out on two easy wins. In today's match, Soumya Sarkar and Tanjid Hasan Tamim have made a partnership of 150 runs, whereas in the previous two matches, Bangladesh could not even score a total of 150. However, Bangladesh has managed to save themselves from being whitewashed by performing exceptionally well in today's match.

It has been good for them that they have succeeded in the last match, although Zimbabwe performance is enough to make them successful in the series. In this match, the Zimbabwean batsmen were not playing hard and that is why they could only score 199 runs with interest, while they should have given a strong target of around 300. If the Bangladesh team had judged themselves well in these two matches, they could have controlled the Zimbabwean team and succeeded. If Bangladesh had victory the second match, it would have been more interesting because the last match would have been victory by one of the two, but it was clear in the second match which team was victorious. Bangladesh bowled hard in this last match and scored runs with hard work and this was the reason for their success.

After having a historic win against England in the test series, New Zealand is now on a Caribbean tour where they will play five ODI games. Currently, in the first ODI, which is being played at Providence, after winning the toss, the West Indies choose to bowl first. In the last five ODIs, West Indies has had no wins.

This game is going to be not easy for them because New Zealand is doing a good job in all formats, and they also have a good record against West Indies in the last 10 games they have 8 wins and just 2 losses. After having batted first, they are on 56 without losing any wickets at the end of 12 overs, Henry Nicolas and Will Young doing a good job this could be high-scoring games.

An ideal start of this series for New Zealand comes to an end through 19-year-old debutant wrist spinner Vitel Lawes, who took the wicket of Nichols after this Motte took the second wicket of Will Young and tried to stop Kiwis progress, but they are still doing a good job and having a good run rate.

The West Indian pace attack completely fails to create any impression in this first game, but spinners are doing a good job even though New Zealand still has good batting depth now. Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell are building another good partnership for having a good total on board.

Vitel Lawes has second wicket Mark Chapman gone 125 for 3 in the 25th over. It's an interesting phase of the match.

However, Bangladesh has managed to save themselves from being whitewashed by performing exceptionally well in today's match.

Both teams perform terribly in this series, but Bangladesh was at their lowest level due to the worst batting in the first two ODI matches. They failed to chase their targets in both games. Their batsmen were never at their best, and the wrong selection of shots and poor technique gave them problems.

Today they have a consolation win, which gives them a good boost before the T20 series, but still it's not going to be easy for them to have a win because they are having inconsistent batting and their technique is also not good. This is a problem that needs to be fixed if they want to have better results against their opponents.

The 3rd ODI between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh has started. Bangladesh is lucky that they won the toss in all 3 matches. However, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl today too. In this match too, Bangladesh's bowlers bowled brilliantly due to which Zimbabwe was all out for 199 runs.

Bangladesh's batsmen have started brilliantly in this match and have scored 112 runs in 20 overs so far. Now Bangladesh need 88 runs to win but there are doubts whether Bangladesh will be able to win. However, Tanzid Hasan Tamim did well in the 2nd match as well and is unbeaten on 57 runs in this match too which is very commendable.

To be honest it was really unexpected for me that the Bangladesh team has win this match because I was expected that they will gonna lose this match like the others they lose.

Even I was quite confident for the Zimbabwe team because of the previous matches where Bangladeshi batters were played very weak performance. But they have improved their batting performance a bit in this match, especially the opening pair of the Bangladesh team, but it is very rare to see scores above half-century from Soumya Sarkar.

Yesterday Bangladeshi batsmen performed well and fans expect such a performance but Bangladeshi batsmen cannot do well consistently. Yes before the match started I also thought Bangladesh would lose this match and get whitewashed, but in this match Bangladeshi top order batsmen were great due to which Bangladesh won easily. Bangladeshi opening batsman Tanzid Hasan Tamim did well in the 2nd and 3rd match. But yesterday he got out for 94 runs and missed out on a century by just 6 runs. I think if Bangladeshi opening batsmen could not have done well then Bangladesh would have lost.

Anyway Bangladesh won but they lost the series by losing the first two matches, so this win will not be of any benefit to them. However, Bangladesh should focus on the T20 series and improve their batting line.

With 7 wickets and 84 deliveries,  Bangladesh squad succeeded to defeat Zimbabwe squad but lost this one day format competition.

It was kind of disappointing for the Zimbabwe team, they had a golden opportunity to whitewash Bangladesh but still at the end of the day, they have won the series, so it does not matter. Their preparation for the World Cup is good enough to beat low rank teams or even they have potential to beat the big rank teams as we have seen in the past ICC tournament where they have been proven so well against teams like Pakistan in 2022 World Cup and others.

West Indies looked very confident as they required 270 runs and they chased it easily in 38.4 overs.

This match is looking very good because both the teams have scored good scores while competing with each other. The overs were more and they have taken advantage of this and have scored good scores. First of all, the Irish women have set a target of 269 runs while batting, in which one woman has scored close to her century but she could not complete her century. She has scored a good score for her team with her hard work. Along with this, other women have also scored good scores. They could have increased their target even more, but the entire team was out before one over. On their behalf, the West Indies women looked even stronger, who had achieved this target before many overs. In this, they lost only one wicket, which proves that the value of their entire team was looking strong, due to which they won this match by 9 wickets and their run rate in this match is also looking very good.

Ultimately, Zimbabwe win in the series 2-1 is a huge win for the country however Bangladesh's comfort win was. World Cup 2022 win should not be forgotten, they had shocked people with their win in that World Cup and had shown that they can produce surprises when they are in the mood on the greatest stage. That was not just coincidence, that was pressure game. But one thing that I would be careful of is that I would be careful of guessing too many shots based on home series wins. It is very different to play Zimbabwe on their own ground in their own situation than Zimbabwe in an ICC tournament in neutral venue.

But they have improved their batting performance a bit in this match, especially the opening pair of the Bangladesh team, but it is very rare to see scores above half-century from Soumya Sarkar.

It was a great start from Bangladeshi openers in the 3rd ODI match, which was completely unexpected . Bangladeshi openers have the capability to make a good partnership, we rarely see a great performance from the top orders nowadays. The great partnership of the openers have helped Bangladesh to win the match easily. The result could have been different if Bangladesh had lost some early wickets. Anyway, Soumya Sarkar will be auto choice in the next few matches for his good batting in the last match.

[Popkon6]

The West Indies team, facing the New Zealand team, performed so aggressively in this match that it surprised all the players of the New Zealand team. These two players, Keacy Carty and Shai Hope, were patient and were able to win the West Indies team with their batting performance. The New Zealand team gave a target of 267 runs, the West Indies team easily achieved it by losing only three wickets and the West Indies team secured it before the end of the stipulated overs.
This match was so competitive that the audience was in tension for a long time that which team would be able to secure the victory, finally the West Indies team secured the victory and was able to win by working so hard with their performance and aggressive batting.

[Out of mind]

In the first ODI match between New Zealand and West Indies, the West Indies team won the first match by 7 wickets. The New Zealand team gave a target of 267 runs to the West Indies team today, although the bowling performance of the West Indies team was good, due to which the New Zealand team was easily put under pressure. The West Indies team played very well when they came out to bat, especially Keacy Carty, his batting performance was very good, unfortunately he failed to score a century, scoring 95 runs and becoming eight. Shai Hope also batted very well, after his 87 runs, he could not reach the century, due to the excellent batting performance of both, the West Indies team won today. Anyway, since the West Indies team won their first ODI match, they have moved ahead in the series, this is a positive point for them.

Haha, this seems quite unexpected to me. Actually, I am quite skeptical about the basis of such a performance. The way Bangladesh lost the first two matches was really impressive. In the last match, Soumya Sarkar and Tanjid Hasan batted well, which may have helped Bangladesh win the third ODI. But imagine the last three wickets. If the first wicket pair had not been able to go this far, that is, if Bangladesh had lost wickets within 50 runs, imagine how far Bangladesh's batting would have gone in the end. Actually, there is no basis for such a performance, a little more consistent performance is needed.

[Bitcoin_people]

West Indies won the first match of the series against New Zealand, which has boosted their confidence. Winning the match by a huge margin of 7 wickets is really impressive, winning a big margin in an ODI series against a strong team like New Zealand is a great achievement for West Indies. The West Indies team batted well, which allowed them to continue their win, although the bowling performance of the New Zealand team was not very strong, which could have put them under pressure. If the New Zealand team's bowlers could have kept the West Indies batsmen under pressure, the game would have been more challenging for West Indies. However, since the New Zealand team had some shortcomings in this match, they will definitely improve their bowling and batting performances in the next match and try to win against West Indies. The West Indies team has progressed in the series, which will give them more confidence, so the New Zealand team will have to improve their game and equalize the series gap.

In the New Zealand side, Matt Fisher was also making his debut in One Day cricket for New Zealand. He is actually known and popular for his awesome bowling, we should say fast bowling around 150 kmph.

In the early stages of this year 2026, he showcase to this skill in T20 format but today he was struggled a bit in gaining the pace later and at the same time, found trouble to take wickets because in T20 the maximum overs you can bowl is 4 but here is 10, that's why maybe it takes him time to completely settle on this format too.

The most important thing is the consistency of the players' performance. It is not expected that a player will be included in the team and after performing well in the first few matches, he will not be able to maintain that consistency later. Since he can bowl at a speed of 150 kmph, his consistent speed of 140 plus can be a sign of consistency. And in terms of getting wickets, you have to bowl not only with speed but also with line length.
Today, if you look at him, he could not take any wickets despite giving away 51 runs in 9.5 overs.
And yes, in T20Is, bowlers have to bowl only 24 balls, whereas in ODIs, they have to bowl 60 balls. In this case, maintaining the speed will be a bit difficult for the bowlers.

After winning T20 and Test series at home against Sri Lanka, West Indies have started ODI series against New Zealand in winning style. Due to good bowling West Indies was able to bowl out New Zealand in 49.5 over at a score of 267 runs. Shamar Joseph was not able to pick a wicket but Alzarri Joseph picked 4 wickets while 3 wickets were taken by Vitel Lawes. West Indies batsmen were in no rush while chasing the target and that is the reason they won the game in 48.5 over. Keacy Carty was unlucky to miss his hundred by 5 runs but was lucky to win the player of match award.

The West Indies players are in very good form. We have  seen this in the series against Sri lanka. West Indies won the T20 series against Sri lanka 2-1 and the test series 1-0 . As usual, the West Indies team was able to make a good start against New zealand.

The New Zealand team was able to give a decent target of 268 runs today. West Indies won very easily due to the Keacy Carty and Shai Hope pair. They were able to build a big partnership of  131 runs. Keacy carty had a collection of 95 runs and Shai Hope was unbeaten on  87 runs. West indies reached the winning target by losing only 3 wickets.
