Its been a good fight back from SA to win the ODI series after a poor performance in the T20 series. I am a little surprised at how SA have bounced back especially in the ODI series after they had a poor World Cup. I thought that it would be the opposite way around with SA performing well in the T20 series and Australia playing well in the ODI series. Australia will need to at least get some confidence back in this final match before heading home to face New Zealand in a ODI series.

NZ team is in good form after consecutive wins against India. South Africans have outplayed Australian team in the ODI series. They have proven their might in balling and Sewell as in batting. Hard times ahead for Australia.

I am also surprised with South African confidence and play in last two ODI's because I was not sure about this all but they play well and out class Australia in both matches with good fight now its all on Australia how they perform because they need to play very good in last ODI as kiwis are now heading for them which could be also good contest between these two teams.

The Thailand women had a memorable match today, but they were really unfortunate. Batting first against Pakistan, they made 150/3, with the first wicket stand between Nattakan Chantam and Nattaya Boochatham putting in 93 runs. Given the fragile nature of Pakistani team, I am sure that Thailand would win the match. But unfortunately, it rained and the match got washed away. Feels bad for Thailand.

Group stage is over in the Group A in ICC Women's T20 World Cup, while two matches remain in Group B. India and Australia have qualified from Group A, while England and South Africa have qualified from Group B. Some confusion still remain about the semi-final matches. If South Africa win the last match, then their opponents will be Australia. If that doesn't happen, then they will face India in the semis.
Currently South African playing good so they can go on first and will face Australia and England vs India is also going to be very exciting but I am feeling India will go through in finale and will face Australia again as these both have good and better sides finale could be more interesting as India already beat Australia in first round match.

Player of the series - Southee , deservedly so .
Player of the match - Jamieson , because he took 5 wickets in first innings and also score well with the bat.
Overall it wasn't that interesting , NZ looked more comfortable than India throughout .
It is called dominance from the New Zealand team and India was not able to carry forward their home dominance outside the subcontinent, the bowlers played better but if the batsman could have done any better then they would have been competitive. Southee, Boult and Jamieson dominated the Indian players and they never had an answer throughout the series apart from T20.

India vs NZ 2nd test

Innings 1

Although innings 1 was low scoring it was entertaining as both teams scored almost equal runs . At the end of day 1 , it looked like it was a one sided match but Indian bowlers did well to get the team back into the match .

Innings 2

Nothing went wrong for the New Zealand  in the 2nd innings , the bowlers especially Boult was brilliant . They had no problems with chasing the small total too. Many predicted that if India posted 150+ then it might be a close match but I think NZ would have chased even 200 comfortably.

Why is Virat getting angry and swearing at other batsmen?

I thought his behavior had improved all these years but no, he's the same.

Anyone following the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup? India have won all of their group matches (4 out of 4), which is a great achievement for them (given the low profile of the women's team in India). In Group B, South Africa has won 3 out of 3, with one match against West Indies remaining. If South Africa wins that match, then India's opponents in Semi finals will be England.

Yeah, I got a notification that they are in the semis defeating NZ and was thinking it was about the test match but it was about the W-T20. England and SA both seem to be very tough comparing their scores and NRR.

Whatever they may do, the defeat is certain as there are 3 complete days left. The only way they can win is to take quicker wickets of New Zealand and all out them before reaching the target but with a small target, New Zealand would surely devise a proper strategy for chasing. The only other thing that may intervene is the weather.
For India to win with them loosing 6 wickets already and with a small lead of under hundred runs it will be a huge task for the rest of the batsman to score big from this situation to pose a challenging target for New Zealand, i am expecting the New Zealand fast bowlers to pick the rest of the wickets within the first hour and win the match easily as there is plenty of time for New Zealand to win the match even if India is somehow able to score a lead of over 200 runs.

I think they have got themselves a great chance to win the tournament but it will be a very very tough fight . Hope they win though .

They just need to win two more games (this is women's tournament and it has just 10 teams as participants, when compared to 16 for the men's tournament). But it is going to be really tough. In India, there is no proper structure for women's domestic cricket. On the other hand, teams such as Australia and England are miles ahead in this regard.

Predictions? Well its not yet over for India , both Vihari and Pant are capable batsmen and Jadeja is yet to bat but I think this is NZ's match .
Its most likely over for India unless they post a total close to 200 which seems doubtful considering the recent performances of Vihari and Pant. Jadeja can only do so much for the team. Pathetic batting performance overall.

However, if they manage to post a 200 lead, India still have a chance since their bowlers are bowling well. If they manage to get the tail-enders quickly after the primary batsmen, they can actually win this one.
Some time low scoring matches give interesting results so I am also feeling if India able to reach 150+ then surely we will watch interesting end of this match but problem is pitch is just 3 days old with good for batting but Jadeja Bumrah and Shami still capable of bringing shocking result.
I agree that it's low scoring as well as interesting but I think in the second innings we will see Kane Williamson and Taylor performing well . Tomorrow's morning session will be crucial for both teams.

I doubt they will reach 150. The present score is 90 for 6, Vihari and Pant are playing at the moment. I do not expect a big innings from them. After them there are only bowlers left to bat. This match has already gone out of India's hand.
It is a really tough situation for India as the batsman are not able to put up partnership to give the bowlers a total to defend and i am not expecting much from the tale end players when the top order failed miserably in putting up partnerships and the New Zealand bowlers are bowling a tight line and length with occasional bouncers which are troubling the India batsman and if they are able to reach 200 runs it would be an awesome performance by the tail end players which i highly doubt will happen.

150 is difficult but not impossible just because Jadeja is left to bat but still it's not enough to have 157 runs to chase down as the bowlers won't be able to restrict them it being their home land. It's still satisfying to see bowlers pick up NZ's wickets and not let them reach 300 from where we would see the end of the match today itself.

Just thinking if we had Dhoni, even 200 runs could be expected but...

Exactly my thoughts. This pitch seems to be doing wonders for the bowlers which is why the bowlers that you mentioned can be lethal. Also, Umesh could be effective too once he hits his stride. I still feel this game is 50-50 at this point.

However, 150 seems to be way too low. 200 seems ideal and the tail-enders seems like India's biggest nightmare these days. Pant and Jadeja are the batsmen to watch.
