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.

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.

Zimbabwe International cricket team take lightly to the Bangladesh International cricket team and that was a reason they lose this match. Zimbabwe team made only 199 runs in this match which is not enough to win this match because target was very low and pitch was very good in this match and they should try to make at least 260 270 runs if they want to clean sweep in this series because they had a good opportunity against Bangladesh and  they will play next series with India and they will be full prepared because IND is strong team as comparison to that team but they can win Against India in that situation. But now they will play T20 series against Bangladesh team and we will watch this series with open eyes which will give information of the future of that team.

In the 3rd ODI game Bangladesh prevents their dignity by winning the game against Zimbabwe and also   prevents from white wash in this series. As this ODI series contains three games and two games already won by Zimbabwe and Bangladesh come back in the last game of the series. Zimbabwe opens the innings first but the top order was not in good form and the other batters also don't give impactful knocks except Wessly and Brade Evans and both players put brilliant half centuries and Zimbabwe gives a very low target of two hundred runs. In this game the body language of the whole Bangladesh team has very improved and it seems in  batting and today Tawhid was so incredible and he played a winning knock of nighty six runs and also Soumya Sarkar was so good and Bangladesh easily chase this target and won the game.

This inning was shameful for Bangladesh team. Because they have experienced and considered strong team in international teams but again a weak and low experienced team they looked helpless. By playing Zimbabwe team scored 247 runs in 50 overs and lost 6 wickets. If we look at total runs then these runs were not high and tough for chasing. Bangladesh team could not chased this lowest and easily chase able total in a big format. They could chased this total early if they played with planning and strategy. They bowled well but in batting side they showed very poor performance and they lost the match by 13 runs. They lost their wickets very early so due to poor performance they lost the match and faced the defeat very badly

West Indies Vs New Zealand
As you know, guys, the ODI series between New Zealand and West Indies has started, and in the first match, the Black Caps were defeated, giving the West Indies team a one match victory. Both teams are in their struggling phase, West Indies lost a match to Sri Lanka in a series against them, and two matches were abandoned, while the New Zealand team also lost matches to the Bangladesh team. Both teams have a legacy of nightmares against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, having lost matches to them. In this series, the West Indies have the upper hand, winning one match, and in tomorrow's match, we will see who will win, either New Zealand takes revenge, or the West Indies continue their streak.

~ 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.

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.

I actually assumed from the beginning that Bangladesh would lose this match as well and that they would be whitewashed by Zimbabwe in the ODI series, but they have played well here. And I actually said that such a performance from the openers is very rare in the Bangladesh team, I already mentioned Soumya Sarkar's name, I saw him perform so well after a long time.

Now it remains to be seen how the Bangladesh team will perform in the upcoming T20 series. If they start recovering from this point, then this is ultimately going to be a plus point for the Bangladesh team.

[Farhan99]

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.

After winning the second ODI game West Indies W becomes the champions of this series and Ireland seems to be struggling even in their home grounds because they have less skills than West Indies W and they have a chance to prevent their dignity by winning the last game and also they prevent from white washing. Ireland W starts the innings first and the top order gives an ordinary start but the middle order seems to be stronger and Amy Hunter and Rebecca Stokell both batters put the iconic half centuries and Ireland ends the innings with a good target of two forty two runs. West Indies team is the most strongest cricket team in the world so this target is not disturbing for West Indies and among the West Indies batters  Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor both played memorable innings and puts hundreds individually and West Indies W easily chase this target and becomes the champions of this ODI series.

This match was played between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, in which both teams made very good scores in terms of their overs. First, the Zimbabwean team batted and set a target of 199. All the players increased their target by making good scores. The entire team was out in their two overs, which was why they were able to score so much because they had remained strong and scored even more. But they could only score that much. But this score was also good for their opposing team. If we look at the performance of the Bangladesh team, they looked stronger than them. They have achieved their target very well, because only a few of them have achieved their target. One player scored a very good score but could not complete his century. Still, he has scored very good runs for his team, which has helped them achieve the target

It was a different story this time as Ireland dug in with 241/7. Amy Hunter with 67 runs and Rebecca Stokell created Ireland Women biggest fourth wicket partnership for 4th wicket in ODIs with record 106-run stand.  Hayley Matthews just could not be stopped though. Chasing 2/34, she then looked calm and steady with brilliant century and she made 100 runs on 94 balls and her second match-winner in two matches.  West Indies have now won the series 2-0.

West Indies women performed best, both batsmen completed 100 runs and their aggressive batsmen were able to secure victory by a large margin.
Hayley Mathews and Stafanie Taylor scored centuries which gave West Indies more confidence. Ireland women's bowling could not put enough pressure on West Indies women's team. West Indies women's players secured victory by performing only up to 38 overs.

[Ab de villiers]

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.

It was a fantastic match, a match that provide great game to the spectators. New Zealand played first ,began the game well. Mitchell and Young both supported with handsome runs. But it was Alzarri Joseph, west Indies bowler who created trouble throughout the game for the New Zealand batsman. His bowling was too much difficult especially for the lower order of New Zealand, helped his team contributed with 4 major wickets. Whereas West Indies were highly confident in their turn, the combination of  Cartyand  Shai Hope almost set the tone of the game. Carty contributed with 95 runs and Shai Hope played the knock of 87 runs. Their partnership done almost more than the half of task. West Indies secured the win against New Zealand is basically their great achievement. Because New Zealand is also strong team, so this win truly appreciated, it's a great day for the West Indies players.

In this first match, West Indies had won the toss and they wanted to bowl first, the reason behind this step was obviously the pitch conditions were suitable for the bowlers and in both of the teams there were three spinners playing. The pitch was overall good for the bowlers, it was not classified that only spinner can have the advantage even the pitch was providing good bounce to pacers, helping them to bowling consistently.

This match involves the West Indies and Ireland teams, in which both teams have made a very good score in terms of their overs, which shows their good performance. First, the Irish team scored a target of 241 while batting, which was a good target in terms of overs, to achieve which the women Amy Hunter worked the most, who scored 67 in very few balls. Along with this, the rest of the women also tried to increase their target by supporting her, due to which she was able to make such a good target, but her wickets fell a little more, due to which there was a slight difference in their target. If she had not been out, she would have probably scored even more, but this was also enough for their opposing team. After them, the West Indies women completed 242 runs while batting, but the best thing is that only two of their women helped them achieve the target and the little score that remained was  The rest of the women made it. Both of these women completed their respective centuries, which left a good impression on their team and they won the match by 6 wickets. Their dismissals were also reduced compared to their opponent's team and they achieved their target many overs before the end of the match.

West Indies Vs New Zealand

West Indies started the series with a great win, it was possible due to an excellent knock of Keacy Carty. When West Indies lose to John Campbell early in around 4 or maybe 5th over, he build good partnership with Ackeem Auguste but as the game progress Shai Hope came to bat and both of them were playing totally similar as well as balanced cricket. Well, let's see what kind of things we will see later in the series.

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.

In this game the body language of the whole Bangladesh team has very improved and it seems in  batting and today Tawhid was so incredible and he played a winning knock of nighty six runs and also Soumya Sarkar was so good and Bangladesh easily chase this target and won the game.

The Zimbabwe team's performance in this ODI series was quite good, but in this match, the Bangladesh team was overwhelming the Zimbabwe team. The first team set a target of 199 and they thought that they would win this match like the previous matches, but this was because the Zimbabwe team came with the intention of winning this match today and that is what happened. The Bangladesh team first dismissed all the players of the Zimbabwe team through their brilliant bowling and the Zimbabwe team played only 48 overs and one ball and this proved that Zimbabwe would win this match and that is what happened. It took about 36 overs and they won this third ODI match by scoring 200 runs. The performances of both Soumya Sarkar and Tanzid Hasan were very special and played an important role in the victory.

The match was one sided because Ireland W cricket team could not make good target in this match and they made only 241 score in this match and opponent team chased the target easily in just 39 overs and they achieved the target with fall of only 4 wickets and won the match by 6 wickets. Amy Hunter played very slow in this match an ex she played with strike rate of 77 in this match and that was a reason they could not win this match and they have to make at least 280 runs if they want to win this match but their score was very low and opponent team came in form and players made centuries in this match And easily got this target. Stokell also played very slow in this match and she should try to make with strike rate of 100 in this match.

No, in this match, Zimbabwe has played very poorly, although if we look at the other matches, the Zimbabwe team has been strong and in this last match they could only score so many runs, if they tried, they could have made a stronger target and victory this series. The Zimbabwe team intended to make this series successful and they did it by victory the first two matches. Bangladesh played very well in this last match, if they had made good decisions in it earlier, they could have victory this series. In this match, the Bangladesh batsmen reached this target in 36 overs and lost 3 wickets and they did not care at all, due to which Bangladesh was able to victory this match and in the end they lost the series. Zimbabwe will now play their T20 if they remain steadfast there too, then their strength will be enough.

The West Indies team has been  in good form for quite some time now. West indies was able to perform  exceptionally well in the series against Sri lanka. The team also  performed excellently in the first ODI  match against New zealand.

New zealand was able to give a target of 268 runs. But West Indies  won this  target very easily. The team lost only 3 wickets. Today's match is also being held in Providence. They will play on the same pitch. So if New zealand's batsmen cannot bat well, then they  will lose today too.

Yes, West Indies performed well in the T20 series against Sri Lanka, but even then I had doubts about how they would perform in the ODI format against New Zealand.
But here they have performed surprisingly.
Initially, they did not allow West Indies to score much and on the other hand, they maintained their wickets and won the first match by 7 wickets. New Zealand should not be taken lightly, they can recover from the second match as well, the rest will be seen in the next match.

It has been a long time while seeing Jasprit Bumrah while playing in the one day format but finally he is back, he played almost 3 years before, last time he showed us his appearance in 2023 ODI World Cup final on 19th November and still it feels bad for team India that they missed it after reaching very close. However in that World Cup his game was extremely great, got multiple wickets and did attacking bowling. But tomorrow we will see him finally after around 968 days.

India badly in need of win in ongoing tour of Ireland and England. Not only Jasprit Bumrah will play for India but few other big names like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul along with skipper Shubman Gill will also be part of India playing eleven to make a difference in ODI series. It will be interesting to see that how Bumrah will perform in his first ODI after 968 days. Indian team must perform well in ODI series to undo the damage done in T20 series played earlier against Irish and English teams.
