ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[JSRAW]

Cricbuzz has scheduled up to Feb 2027 and every series is played in India except that NZ tour and then we will have IPL so we have a time window of June - Aug for ODI preview before the WC, and also some unofficial report says BCCI is discussing with CSA for possibly 4 to 6 ODI games just right before the WC.

If that's really the case then they should go ahead with zimbabwe as well, they'll surely accept the any proposal to host india for small 3 match series.

Ideally, clear all the September schedule and camp their for practice.

Sri Lanka team lost the first match and they were able to correct their mistakes, and in the second match they turned around and faced the England team and they performed very well, so in the end Sri Lanka team was able to secure victory. But I am talking about the third match now where the most aggressive attitude will be seen between the two teams, but here I am still scared which team will win and I am still deprived of betting. So my research although I have never been able to determine the difference between these two teams, Sri Lanka team has been able to improve their performance, if the attacking batsmen can perform patiently for a long time then only Sri Lanka team will be able to create a possibility of winning.
Same for England team but this match will be a tough competition and only those who can maintain their performance till the end will be able to win. But I am somewhat confident in the performance of Sri Lanka team which team do you want to bet on?

If Sri Lanka can perform as well in the third match as they did in the second match, then I would say that Sri Lanka has learnt a lot from the first match and they have shown their determination to perform well. I do not want to mark any team based on just one match win or loss. We all know that England and Sri Lanka are both strong cricket teams and both of them have the ability to perform well. Both teams have good batting and bowling, and the performance of any one of them can change the outcome of a match. Sri Lanka may have lost the first match due to batting failure, but in the second match they showed a great batting performance and later through controlled bowling, Sri Lanka was able to secure victory by restricting England to a low score.

This was the second ODI match between Sri Lanka and England in which England was the stronger team, but Sri Lanka's batting was quite good and they made a very good foundation in the beginning, in which Kusal Mendis gave a brilliant target of 121 runs and apart from that, the rest of the players were performing quite well, with which their team set a target of 321 runs.
When their opponent came to bat, they started chasing the target given by them, so everyone hoped that the England team would achieve this target, but this could not happen because the Sri Lankan team put a lot of pressure on them, due to which the England team could only score 305 runs in 50 overs. England also had a very good start, but the England batsmen could not manage the bowling well, due to which they faced failure in this match and this second and this match Sri Lanka team won.

SL victory in second match has raised their hopes that they can win this series otherwise SL performance in T20 series and in first ODI was disappointing. To win the series, SL need to repeat the performance they have shown in second ODI. Meanwhile English team also need to review the areas where they need improvement. After this series, both SL and England will fly to Pakistan to take part in tri-nation ODI series and that is why this series is important for both team to show dominance in upcoming tri-nation series.

The last match of the series will be the series decider, it goes without saying that the fight will be intense. After losing badly in the first match, Sri Lanka leveled the series with a great performance in the second match. Sri Lanka needs to win just one match to avenge the humiliating defeat in the T20 series, if they can win the ODI series, they will have at least one achievement against England.

The last match of the series will not be easy for Sri Lanka by any means, England will definitely try to win the ODI series with the home field advantage. I don't think Sri Lanka can win the series by winning the last match.

After Sri Lanka's consecutive defeats and whitewash in the T20 series, it seemed that Sri Lanka would be whitewashed in the ODI match as well. Again, since Sri Lanka lost the first match of the ODI series, I thought that the ODI series would be easily lost. But Sri Lanka turned around brilliantly in the second match and defeated England in the series and has so far been able to prevent the series from losing. However, if Sri Lanka cannot perform as well in the third match as in the second match, then they will not be able to avoid losing the series.

They will most likely attempt that but playing against Zim might be of lesser preference for now unless this is only to get adjusted to the playing conditions before the World Cup. But as I said they will be planning to move to the WC venue at least 40 days before and that is when these games are planned.

Yes, Sri Lanka deserved this victory to boost their confidence after their dismal T20I. A victory might change the mindset of their entire team, which could be reflected in their performance. Going into the first ODI, Sri Lanka performed brilliantly in the second ODI. They have a chance to win the series by defeating England in the third ODI. Now the three-match ODI series is tied at 1-1. If Sri Lanka can maintain their performance in the second ODI, then they definitely have a chance. It remains to be seen how Sri Lanka performs in the third O]DI.

Sri Lanka really did a great job by defeating England in the second match.Otherwise it was expected that Sri Lanka would lose and England would win the one sided series. But now there is a fear that England is capable of winning the third match because they have been stronger and undefeated than Sri Lanka.That is why Sri Lanka should not be careless after winning the second match and need to practice more and show more consistent performance than before so that they can claim this winning.But as far as the England team is concerned they will definitely take revenge for the defeat against Sri Lanka and England will be more alert than before. The third match will be very exciting for both the teams.I bet on England to win this match easily.Let see which team wins this series.

It'll be much better than intra team matchup or net practice.

Ngl, historically BCCI usually suck at such tactical scheduling lol. Atleast it does show in their test schedule, they are capable of pulling out restarted move of playing t-20 match instead of ODI.

Today's second ODI match has also come to an end in which the Sri Lankan team has been successful in defeating England.First of all the Sri Lankan team batted in which they have made a very interesting target in terms of overs due to which the England team came under pressure for a while because the Sri Lankan team was making its target without any disruption in which the highest score was made by Kusal Mendis.He also completed his century and in addition he also made 121 scores.He batted with all his heart for his team in which he has been successful.In addition he played his batting till the end of the overs which has further increased their target.It is not that the England team did not work hard, their players have also played well but the Sri Lankan team has stopped their score due to which they have lost this match by only 16 runs. If they had tried a little the match could have been turned around.

[vs2014]

Among several international odi series going on, I'm excited about Eng vs SL third match that still need a little more time to start. Actually after SL showed their magic and defeated england, it leveled the series both side and now this match going to decide the series. Mendis's outstanding performance and other players contribution helped SL comeback and raised new hopes of winning. What make this series more interesting to me. Although England is still strong team and they've already prove that. Both teams may have good chance to win but still I would put England slightly more favorite than SL

Haha, maybe this has something to do with the number of viewers, if it is ODI, the numbers will be much less so less revenue compared to a T20I, effectively for the lesser cost than to complete a 50-over game. We also keep seeing more T20I games in most of the series though, and this might be the new normal that we have to accept it.

Test still got certain mojo, but not to the level of T20I games if I am not wrong.

The last match of the series will not be easy for Sri Lanka by any means, England will definitely try to win the ODI series with the home field advantage. I don't think Sri Lanka can win the series by winning the last match.

It is not going to be an easy match for Sri Lanka, but if they win this match, they will indeed win the series. There are injury concerns in the England side as Jos Buttler was injured in the last match, and whether he will be fit to play in the decider is still unknown. For Sri Lanka to stand a chance of winning the match and the series, they will completely rely on Kusal Mendis and Dunith Wellalage.
The India vs West Indies series also starts today, and India might give a debut match to either Naman Dhir or Auqib Nabi, depending on which combination they plan to go with.

IND / WI

The One Day International series is being played by almost every team and it has been suggested that the teams will now start playing One Day Internationals. We all know what will the results of the series that has started today, which starts with WI and IND. WI can never come first in this series, but we can see a nice atmosphere in the game from their performing. As long as IND is limited with their coach and their practice, they have weight on everyone, so IND will be first in this series too. WI players are defending themselves very nice  and have not shown any futility in 8 overs and are also increasing their runs. Greaves has added 41 runs with nice performing and if he continues to play with intelligence, one side of the aim will be based on the tight work of this player. The WI players will not let any incompetence in the aim, this is the power with which they will make this wins.

[JSRAW]

Considering this dodgy bowling lineup of India and the kind of start windies got here.

It would be criminal from windies' side if they don't touch a minimum 350 score. Belter wicket to bat on so better if it's around 375 ish.

WI openers started pretty well, I didn't expect them to play with this much patience and also being aggressive, after then 15 overs or so, I thought Indian bowling is completely messed up especially if they uses Nithish as the opening pacer.

But this is another match practice game to score some runs for their career. Hitman missed it, but Virat did exactly what he had to.

West Indies emerge as a strong than previous games. Their target of 295 runs is quite nice and modest or we have seen improvement in the performance of their batsman. While on the otherside it is clear that India is very strong team with all aspects. The pair of Virat Kohli and Shabman Gill played master class innings. They took the responsibility of the their team and help their team for the chase. By looking the overall performance it is definitely clear that India will clinched the win but we here cannot ignore the improvement of West Indies players.

[Out of mind]

In today's match, West Indies team tried hard to win this match but their bowling performance was not very good. Due to the weakness of the bowling line, West Indies team lost by a big margin against India, although this match was great for India, especially their bowling and batting line were both amazing. The victory of India team in the first ODI match has given them more confidence and they will make themselves stronger for the next match.

West Indies set a target of 296 runs and lost 7 wickets, Justin Greaves scored a brilliant century by scoring 101 runs off 108 balls. However, in this match, they tried to make a bigger score but it was not possible for the West Indies team.

The batting performance of the Indian team was amazing, they batted brilliantly in the beginning and batted patiently in the opening. After Rohit Sharma was dismissed, Shubman Gill scored 110 runs in 108 balls, his amazing century. Moreover, Virat Kohli's batting performance was worth watching, he scored 139 runs in 88 balls, this legendary player is really an amazing batsman, the way he brought the team to victory in this match is really commendable. He brought the team to victory by scoring a huge score and he remains unbeaten, his fans are very happy with his batting performance.
