ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[mdzahed134]

Bangladesh took to the field today against Sri Lanka in the first warm-up match of India World Cup. Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat against Bangladesh in this warm-up match today. Currently Sri Lanka have collected 174 runs for 4 wickets in 31.1 overs. A lot of discussion and criticism has started about Shakib and Tamim in Bangladesh cricket.  Amidst this discussion and criticism, India's World Cup warm-up match against Sri Lanka begins today. But Shakib is the only person of many criticisms and discussions, why is he not on the field today? what is the reason for not being in the field injury? If Bangladesh loses today's match with Sri Lanka, will it have any impact on the World Cup?

Srilanka has collected 263 runs i think it’s enough fighting scored against Bangladesh. BD's big weakness is they can't survive 50 overs, in this match they started very well, i hope today BD team will be win although it’s a practice match but it’s also important for BD to increase their confidence level in the 1st match. Sakib is injured that can be reason to not playing in this warm up match, it’s good decision.

Sri Lanka scored 263 runs which is not a very high score today, of course if Bangladesh can put up a good batting performance then it is possible to win the match. You are certainly right that Bangladeshi batsmen can't last 50 overs for which they lose but today's match they might hold on and win against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh batsmen are already batting well especially the two opening batting Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan if they both can score half century then many runs will go ahead. Now the Bangladesh team is performing well in batting, if they can survive in the end, they will surely leave the field with the match win against Sri Lanka. In today's match, Sri Lanka has not yet taken any wicket, that's why Bangladesh batsmen are batting confidently at this moment without any pressure. Of course to win today's match, Bangladesh will need to bat well against Sri Lanka and lastly they will have to stay at the crease.

I think no this is only warm up matches only this could not effect on ICC World Cup stats if any team lost against playing with other team just for warm up and getting their teams ready for World Cup and show their outstanding performance. Now Sri Lanka batting inning going to be very good and they set a target of 263 runs in al most 50 overs and lost all wickets. P.Nissanka which is opener batsman of Sri Lanka team scored 68 runs in 64 runs then out by  M.Hasen and other player D.de Silva also out by M.Hasen and scored 55 runs in 79 runs. M.Hasen bowler of Bangladesh team took 3 wickets of Sri Lanka good batsman. Now Bangladesh show commendable performance and they scored 79 runs in 13 overs.

Pakistan VS Newzealand

After 2016 this is the first time the Pakistan Cricket team is visiting India. They got a warm welcome in Hyderabad as most Pakistani players posted live footage on their Instagram handles and thanked the Indian public. There was a slight delay in this game due to rain, but Pakistan was able to give a target of 345 runs to the New Zealand team. I do not think that the New Zealand batters would be able to chase such a big target considering the Pakistani bowling attack.

I was very interested in Pakistan's warm up match. Because after a long time they are playing on a pitch in India. It wasn't easy at all. Also in Asia Cup we saw bad and erratic performance of Pakistan players. But Pakistani batsmen batted brilliantly against New Zealand today. They made a huge total of 345 with the loss of only 5 wickets. Both openers could not do well today. But Babar and Rizwan have returned to form. If these two players can bat well, Pakistan has the ability to collect big against any big team. Also Saud Shakeel collected 75 runs off 53 balls. Now I am waiting to see how the Pakistani pace bowlers perform on the Indian pitch.

The toy tigers are back in form again in a valueless match. Usually, they play well on Indian grounds and their home grounds. They play worst if their top order fails, they play good if their top order score runs. Junior Tamim and Liton Das gave a flying start to the team and they are leading so far. Junior Tamim going back to the pavilion while I am writing and another batter comes and goes 

I won't be surprised if they get packed up within the next five overs scoring twenty more runs and lose the match from this point. They did it a couple of times before. But I hope it won't happen today.

[Out of mind]

New Zealand came to bat against Pakistan, Pakistan scored good runs in this match. Pakistan set a target of 345 runs to meet that target and New Zealand batsmen are batting brilliantly which is really interesting. New Zealand's improved batting performance today looks like they will win this match against Pakistan. Although New Zealand batsman Rachin Ravindra batted brilliantly, but unfortunately he got out and failed to score a century. Scored 97 off 72 balls, if he could have stayed at the crease, New Zealand could easily have won today's match against Pakistan. Although New Zealand has lost only two wickets at the moment, there are still enough wickets left, so New Zealand is not under much pressure and is batting confidently to win the match. New Zealand will surely win the match by a huge margin if they continue to play the way they are playing till the end. And if the Pakistan bowlers get out then New Zealand will definitely be under a lot of pressure in the match and there is a possibility of losing the match, so they will not be able to win. But currently the run score looks like today's match is definitely in New Zealand's favor and will surely win the match soon.

[Shishir99]

Aha. They proved me wrong and won the match?  That wasn't bad at all. Good to see some positive intent from the top-order batters! They have played a little fearless maybe because this match result does not add up to anything in the point table. I hope Bangladeshi top-order batters will continue to perform well and show some skills in the group stage. Bangladeshi people do not expect the World Cup from this team but they expect some good games. Even if they lose all the matches, they should play competitive cricket so no one can say they won easily against Bangladesh. Best wishes to them, and Congratulations!

Pakistan VS Newzealand (practice match)

The match started in Hyderabad, Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first. They have already lost a wicket of Imam-ul-Haq. Babar Azam is now playing with Abdullah Shafique. It looks like the ball is turning, the Kiwi bowlers are attacking the Pakistani batter with an attacking field placement. The pitch is suitable for scoring big runs and after settling down I think Babar Azam would go after the kiwi bowlers.

Both opener batsman of Pakistan did not show their actual performance and out by scoring some scores only. Imam UL Haq scored just 1 runs and A. Shafique scored only 14 runs. I know these matches only for warm up I hope they perform well in World Cup. Those on whom there was hope Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam show fantastic performance in First warm match. After making century 103 runs by Muhammad Rizwan retired due to hurting if he did not retire then give target of 400 runs almost. In these matches New Zealand is full on fire, they chase this big target and 38 balls are also left. Their performance was enormous especially in batting side and some players show remarkable playing like R. Ravindra, Kane Williamson, D. Mitchell and M. Chapman.

New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets in first warm up match. New Zealand chase down 346 runs from just 44.4 overs against Pakistan a remarkable run-chase, fifties by Rachin Ravindra, kane Williamson, Mark Chapman and Dary Mitchell. Pakistan team also score a big total 345 runs batter do well Muhammad Rizwan played an impressive 103 runs inning, Babar  Azam also played a classic innings of 80 runs in 84 balls, and Soud Shakeel 75 runs helped Pakistan to cross 340 plus target for New Zealand.

New Zealand batting performance was outclassed especially Rachin Ravindra batting performance  outstanding Score 97 runs in 72 balls Kane Williamson 54 runs in just 52 balls, Dary Mitchell: 59 runs in 57 balls and Mark Chapman 65 runs unbeaten in 41 ball, James Neesham 33 runs in 21 balls. New Zealand chased 346 against bowlers like Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, muhammad Wasim and Muhammad Nawaz. Usama mir only pick 2 wickets by giving 68 runs in 10 overs and Salman Ali Agha also picked 1 wickets but he is part time bowlers.

As a Bangladeshi fan you may have such hatred towards Bangladesh but you should not have any grudge against Bangladesh for the way Bangladesh performed in the warm-up match against Sri Lanka. 
Although a win or loss in this match will not have any impact on the World Cup, a win like this before the start of the World Cup will do a lot for Bangladesh's confidence, especially as Junior Tamim will surely find the confidence to play well in the next match. We all have our own team, no matter how much we hate our team, when our country plays, we sit down in front of the TV to watch the game. 

After finishing the first warm-up match well, Bangladesh is definitely ready for the second warm-up match, Bangladesh will play the second and last warm-up match against England on the next two dates.

Pakistan VS Newzealand

After batting so well I never expected Pakistan to lose the match. Yesterday's match proves that the Pakistani side is in disarray and doesn't  actually knows what to do. 345 is not an easy target to chase but the Kiwis chased it like professional unit even though they were not playing their full team. Pakistani bowling without their star bowlers is nothing. One good sign is that their star batters are back in form. Only batting would not help them they would need bowlers to back them.

it was a practice game, it is okay to practice and understand the issue within the team. I do not think calling the Pakistan team in disarray would be appropriate after watching a practice match. They would eventually come out with good results in the World Cup. My simple reasoning is that they have a good temperament for playing in ICC tournaments.

The same can be said about the New Zealand side, they have proven that they play differently in big tournaments.  The problem lies with the Indian side, even if they are the number one team in the ICC ranking for now they are bad when it comes to ICC tournaments. Playing in India on a turf that has been declared as an enemy country they still played well.

I do not understand why Indian fans gave them a warm welcome. Those who run PCB still believe that they have sent their team in a enemy country, if that is the case why send them?

Australia vs Netherlands Warm up match

After the delaying due to rain now match lived Australia against Netherlands team. I suppose that pitch is not favor to Australia team in today. I am also very surprising to see the performance of Netherlands in bowling lineup very tremendous. At this time, Australia team players like Josh Inglis batsman out by Logan van Beek in 0 runs, Alex Carey out by Roelof van der Merwe after scoring 28 runs and Glenn Maxwell out by Shariz Ahmed only scoring 5 runs. In this match, total 23 overs will be played and Australia team played 12 overs and made 87 runs and total 3 wickets lost. Now current batsman of Australia played in pitch Steve Smith complete his half century and other one is Cameron Green made 5 runs off 8 balls.

[JSRAW]

Pakistan VS Newzealand

Like i mentioned during the Asia cup. Middle overs, lack of quality spinners and over dependence on seam bowling could be the downfall of this team.

They only rely on seamers to take plenty of wickets in the first 10 overs with the new ball, after that, everything depends on kudrat ka karisma.

Batting - Good
New ball- death bowling - Simply amazing
Spin- Mediocre at best
Fielding- It's improved a lot but they still manage to fumble when it matters most.

I was looking forward to watching India vs England warm up match. But the match was abandoned due to rain.

Australia is a very strong team against Netherlands. It is already predicted that Australia will win this match. In 23 overs I thought Australia would set a target of around 200. Because Australia's batting order is very strong, on the other hand, Netherlands' bowling line-up is weak. Australia collected 129 runs in 18 overs. They have been able to collect an average of more than 7 runs per over. Australia is still likely to collect around 200. But the team lost four wickets. Josh English and Maxwell are not playing well. Inglis failed to collect any runs while Maxwell collected only 5 runs. These two batsmen should have performed well against a team like Netherlands.

I agree with you and I really like your post. I am a pure Bangladeshi so I definitely want the Bangladesh team under the leadership of Shakib to play very well in the upcoming World Cup. Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by 7 wickets in the preparation match of Bangladesh with Sri Lanka. This victory is very positive for Bangladesh. Even though it was a warm-up match, I would say that Bangladesh team played well, so if they can play with confidence, if every player of Bangladesh can play well, they will definitely do well in the World Cup. Bangladesh have warm up match against England on 2nd probably it will be their last warm up match hope Bangladesh will play very well against England. Best of luck to Bangladesh team.

With the match starting after rain, the Australian batsmen are currently under a lot of pressure, the Netherlands bowling line is excellent at the moment. Australia's batting today is really bad due to which they have already lost 6 wickets which is a loss for the team. Today's match is in favor of the Netherlands due to which Australia is not able to match Netherlands today and Australia is not showing good batting performance. Maybe it is doubtful whether Australia can play 25 23 overs today as they are unable to hold on to wickets and their runs are not increasing due to the fall of wickets soon. Today may be the most entertaining match for the Netherlands due to rain, their bowling performance is excellent which makes the game more interesting. At the moment, Australia have scored 138 runs in 19.1 overs and lost 6 wickets, which may not give the Australian team a win in today's match.

The first warm-up match between India vs England was abandoned due to rain but the match between Australia and the Netherlands went on, although the field umpire decided to play 23 overs due to rain. 

I have been watching the Netherlands vs Australia match since the beginning and I have liked Netherlands' bowling since the beginning.  They have been able to hold back a team like Australia. Where at the moment Australia's runs would have been close to 180 to 200, Australia managed to score only 152 runs for 6 wickets. The 6 batsmen who got out were not out because of any bad ball but because of the great bowling of the Netherlands bowlers. 

Australia is very old in cricket and winning is their anthem so I would like Netherlands to win this match as they qualify for ODI World Cup for the first time.

Australia managed to collect 166 runs in 23 overs, i am actually not worried that Australia have given a target of 167 runs. I am worried because Australia lost 7 wickets to collect 166 runs. It is difficult for Australian batsmen to stay at the crease against a team like Netherlands. So how can they win against big teams like England or India and become world champions!! Australia's chances of qualifying for the finals in this year's World Cup seem very low to me.

Apart from Steven Smith and Cameron Green, no other batsman can play better today. Smith got out with 55 runs off 42 balls and Green 34 off 26 balls. Maybe Australia will win by giving a target of 167 runs, however I am not satisfied with their performance.

5th warm-up Match between Australia and the Netherlands. Australia won the toss and decided to bat first in the warm-up match against the Netherlands. Australia posted 166 in a loss of 7 wickets in 23 against Netherlands. Steve Smith batting well scored 55 runs in just 42 balls and Green also played a good inning of 34 runs in just 26 balls and reached the total to 160 plus.

 Netherland bowling very outstanding in this match especially Roelof van der Merwe the star with the ball in the first innings by picking up 3 Crusial wickets just giving 12 runs in just 3 overs. Van Beek also picked up 2 important wickets by giving 35 runs in 5 overs with the Economy rate of 7.0. I think the Netherland have some chance of winning this match against big team Australia. The Netherlands managed to take 7 Australia wickets in the first inning Now They need to chase down 167 in 23 overs to win this warm-up Match.
