ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[savetheFORUM]

Tomorrow is the biggest match in the cricket world Pakistan vs India. The two countries where people are crazy about cricket. The country that hosts this is Sri Lanka and the city is Kandy. Bumrah has come back to the team of India after a long time. But, the India team depended on Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kholi. Pakistan had all types of players if we need a fast bowl so Haris Rauf, Batsman Babar, and Rizwan.

Pakistan vs India team match will start tomorrow. In this match I hope to enjoy a lot of beautiful matches between two teams. There are many good players in both teams. It is very difficult to predict which team will win in this match. But I like Pakistan team players very much.  So I thought I will bet in support of Pakistan team in this match. If Pakistan team can bat first and give a good run target then Pakistan team will have hope to win this match. On the other hand India team bowling and batting are in very good form now this match is very much packed.  Will rise between two teams.

Right now, India is favorite in books with they also have few good advantages against Pakistan in last few years with mostly ICC and ACC events going into their favor but for this match we have both teams level in quality and performance because recently we have few good wins for the Pakistan and India is also having new blood which is improving their performance and trying to give their best in big games.

Return of the Jaspirat Bumrah is positive sign for them, and now they are looking for better performance from veteran Rohit Sharma and King Kohli because these both are important players if they want to win against Pakistan in this match with Pakistan is also having some good quality players those are not giving their best and having no 1 spot in ICC ODI rankings.

There is no doubt that it is going to be a great match for the fans, the only issue is the weather forecast where there is rain expected which might delay the proceedings. Pakistan already announced that they will be playing with an unchanged squad while India will determine whether they would add Shardul Thakur or Mohammed Shami in the playing eleven.

I am not sure whether India should include Shardul Thakur in the playing XI. Pakistan batsmen are in great form (especially Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar Ahmed), and Shardul has the habit of being expensive. I would rather go with the experienced Mohammed Shami, who is more likely to get wickets early on. In case Shardul needs to be included, then he can replace the useless Mohammed Siraj. Jasprit Bumrah is confirmed in the playing XI as far as I know, but I am not sure whether he is 100% fit.

The weather forecast for Kandy doesn't look good. Rain might play a spoil sport for the highly anticipated match in this tournament. I won't be happy if duckworth Lewis is used or the match gets abandoned. This time of the year rain is predicted in Srilanka.

Pakistan is all geared up for the match but India is still in dilemma to choose between Shami or Thakur. Considering the batting abilities of Thakur I think they should go with him. In worst scenario if the upper batting line-up doesn't perform he could come handy.

And after a few hours, the first match of the Asia Cup between India and Pakistan is going to start. Before the start of the Asia Cup, the India vs Pakistan match was at the center of everyone's discussion. Pakistan is going to take the field against India with the same XI that they fielded against Nepal but there is no prediction from India so far about how the Indian XI will be. India may field three fast bowlers and three spinners against Pakistan. Since these two teams are arch rivals in cricket, it is difficult to predict which team will win. The presence of spectators in the field can greatly affect the game. India will have an advantage in that case as we have noticed long ago that Sri Lanka always has a large presence of Indian fans. The entire cricket world is waiting for a match full of great competition.

This match will be played between India vs Pakistan and India has got the opening batting. We will see a great game between the two teams today as both the teams are strong enough. Although we have seen Pakistan win their first match against Nepal before. Today is India's first match of Asia Cup, how well India can perform in today's match against Pakistan will have chances to win the match. But I can enjoy today's match between the two teams, although in today's match I can say that Pakistan is more likely. But it is difficult to say but if Pakistan can play today's match well then there is a possibility to win against India. But Pakistan will not leave India so easily but it will be a good game between the two teams and we can say that both the teams are currently in the best position in the Asia Cup.

Match started and there is some drizzling in the stadium and hopefully we will be able to watch the entire match. Naseem Shah is bowling his heart out and Shubman Gill is struggling to put bat on ball and it looks like a great competition.

Edit: As expected the weather has stopped play and hopefully they will be able to restart the match without much delay.

Today's exciting match in the Asia Cup has been halted at the end of the fourth over due to rain. Although Pakistan's two pacers are bowling under control at the beginning of the match, the target will be above 170 in today's match. Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are trying to score runs but Naseem Shah is basically trying to bowl the best of his career. For now, the exciting match like the final is currently stopped,some overs may be shortened by DLS system once the rain ends.

The match has started a few minutes ago between India and Pakistan and 3rd ODI match out of 13 of Asia Cup. So India Win toss and decided to bet first I think this is a good decision because in this decision there are some benefits as in first ODI match between Pakistan and Nepal. Pakistan team choose to bat first and batting performance was very good and also they set a good target. If India team play well in this match so they will give huge target but Pakistan is not a weak team that's why Nepal can't chase down target. Both teams are strong and let's see who will win this match. Now match is on delay because rain and team India scored 15 runs in 4.2 overs without losing wicket.

[Vaskiy]

As expected Shaheen Afridi have took the first wicket of India. Rohit Sharma lost his wicket. King Kohli have come to the crease. Pakistan bowling line-up is really good, Naseem Shah from the beginning dominates whereas Afridi bowled out Rohit Sharma coming strong after the break due to rain interruption.

Pressure is upon India as they've lost early Wicket. The heat of the match can be felt, as no cricket match gets such a hype and viewership on broadcast platforms. 10+ million viewers watching the match.

[Popkon6]

Pakistan team bowling performance is very good at the moment one wicket has fallen. Due to the dismissal of the opening batsman Rohit Sharma, the Indian team became very weak. Shaheen afridi in particular was a great bowler towards Rohit Sharma. But Rohit Sharma couldn't resist the onslaught, the ball swung so much that it hit the stumps straight away. Indian team's run rate is very low because Pakistani team has strong bowling points so if they can collect runs then Indian team will be under pressure at the last minute.

[Bureau]

Half and hour of rain and everything changes. Credit goes to Afridi for utilising this opportunity. The way he set up Rohit Sharma to believe the ball will go offside and suddenly it went inside was amazing. Kohli was another victim of the same kind of bowling. The run rate seems pretty decent as of now but India needs a partnership. Already 3 wickets have fallen and knowing Ishan Kishan he would be agressive. This agressive attitude of him is the reason why he loses his wicket quickly. The match is decently poised and hopefully no more rains delays after the current one.

[Westinhome]

It was good news for the people from Nepal,because they had a chance to view their team in International game.India,Pakistan,Srilanka and Bangladesh are the real competitor here.Afghanistan and Nepal join this game to improve their own game in this series.Today match between India and Pakistan was streaming,today the India game was not upto expected one.India had scored only 51 runs from 11 overs was not satisfied one by team India itself.The Gill and Kishan should take responsibility today game.Because team India was suffering now with batting,if the players of India doesn’t take responsibility it leads to big problem to team India.

India were under a lot of pressure with the loss of wickets at the start but Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan formed an important partnership which was very important for India. The two have now put on an unbroken partnership of 83 runs leading India to a huge total. These two batsmen are trying hard to get India out of the doldrums when every other top-order batsman has failed miserably. It is expected that if the Indian pair can bat till 40 overs, their collection will go above 280 runs. If the target is above 280 runs, it will be difficult for Pakistan to top this run. A mention that Ishan Kishan has already completed his seventh ODI half-century of his career. An unbeaten 56 runs at the wicket and eventually India's total reaches 150 runs.

Today match was impressive one. after getting 4 wickets it was a bonus opportunity for Pakistan to pick some more wickets and restrict India team below 200. Pressure built on india at the time when score was 66/4. Rohit sharma and Kohli which has a very good batting record doesn't make any good score on the board today. Ishan kishan and Harthik pandya today performance is much appreciated and what a time to make partnership.

India and Pakistan both has long batting line up and you cannot feel comfort after taking 5 wicket also. These two deserve for century but luck did not favor them. Shaheen Afridi done a great job especially wicket of Pandia which could create lot of problem for Pakistan and If he stands till the end the score would absolutely 300+ . Today Pakistan spin bowling completely failed, maybe due to patch condition.

India has managed to turn around from a bad position. Pakistan bowled well early but from that position extended the run of the match and put the Indian team in a reliable position. However, because of the rain, there may be a major disaster in the game. Since there is a DL method, we will definitely get a resolution when the game is running. It may happen that the game is cut to 20 overs or reduced to 30 or more overs. But due to rain, the result cannot go as expected, we have to rely on luck.

Good luck for you. I won't say that Pakistan is a weak team but in India vs Pakistan match, India have already finished batting and set a target of 266 runs. Do you think Pakistan can beat this target and win the match?  Pakistan can definitely win if they bat well as this target can be considered a good target in a 50 over game but if a team plays well this target is not too big a target. The match was stopped for a while due to rain but now the rain is over so Pakistan will start their batting in a short while.  So the match is going to be more exciting now

The match ended without any result and I would say both teams are in a position to win this game. India recoverd nicely after losing early wickets due to 138 runs partnerships between Ishan and Pandya.
Pakistan were not able to capitalise the early advantage they gained. Pakistan are not good chasers and 266 runs were not easy to chase on a wet outfield. Both teams have qualified for next round due to this draw.

An exciting match getting abandoned due to the rain. I was expecting to see Pakistan batting and chasing a target of 267. I never expected that the match will get abandoned. Both team get 1 points each. While Pakistan qualifies for the super 4 stage in the Asia Cup, India is distant behind for now.

Afridi and Naseem were responsible for the small target by India. If Ishan and Hardik had not played well then the target would have been less than 200. This time the Indian middle order was able to hadle the pressure. Bhumbra played far better than the Indian batting top order. I never expected Gill to struggle so much against the Pakistani bowling power. He was worst than Rohit & Kohli in this match as he was able to score just 10 runs after facing 32 balls.

Next match is between India and Nepal. I don't think India will have much issues with the weaker Nepali side. The only problem would be rain as it can cause the match to get abandoned.

I had a feeling yesterday, when the match got interrupted twice due to rain that this match would get abandoned. This time of the year organizing a tournament in Srilanka is a big mistake. Other upcoming matches might get affected due to rain. The next match between India & Nepal is being played on the same ground. The fate of that match can be similar to yesterdays match.
