No one can do anything regarding this situation just this format is also losing its passion which is surely not good deal for the ICC if these stadiums have no fans then surely this is going to be the end of this format in near future.

It was a surprise that fans did not turn up but i am expecting things to change once the tournaments gets going and once the match is between competitive teams, things will change.

ICC needs to work on having changes in this game with keeping just two formats which will increase fanbase and ending of ODI could be also beneficial for the all stakeholders.

If they are unable to retain the fans then eventually ODI will struggle to attract fans like the Test matches, few ODI are played in the past several years as the focus shifted to T20.

Expected a good match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan, but a disappointing performance by Afghanistan after getting a good start and loosing 10 wickets for 109 runs.

The lack of crowds has been extremely disappointing in this World Cup. I am sure everyone was expecting a lot more people than this.

Afghanistan did a very low score and gave a poor target to Bangladesh. They are all out in 37 over and scored just 156. The target of 156 is suited in T20 but this is one-day. This target is so poor and I know that the winner of this match is Bangladesh. Rashid also cannot play well in this match. I think this is not a good match for Afghanistan. Cry

Actually, traditionally Dharamshala is a very balanced pitch and offers assistance to everything. The pacer enjoys bowling here due to the weather, it offers a fair amount of spin as well and batters get complete value for their shots because of a decent outfield.

It applies to every format so Afghans definitely batted irresponsibly.

It all started with Shakib and then Mehidy joined him, they both combined got 6 wickets. It looked more like a spinners paradise as these two took all the important wickets. I was expecting Afghanistan to get to a decent score of 200 but they collapsed at 156. It is better to what Srilanka scored in the Asia Cup finals. Bangladesh completely dominated the game and it is now a win win situation for them. I was expecting thrilling finish, such games don't interest me at all.

Bangladesh bowled out Afghanistan for 156 runs. Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan decided to fill after winning the toss and the Bangladesh bowlers used this decision appropriately. The storm of criticism about Shakib Al Hasan gave his answer on the field. Shakib Al Hasan bowled brilliantly and took three wickets alone. Mehdi Hasan Miraj has bowled brilliantly. In short, today's Bangladeshi bowlers have bowled brilliantly. If Bangladesh team can bat well today they can easily win this match. Best wishes for the Bangladesh team.

The way Afghanistan started batting first, it looked like Afghanistan could score 270-300 today. But there comes a time, Afghanistan's wickets start to fall fast and because of that wicket fall, Afghanistan cannot turn around. Afghanistan lost all wickets in today's match and collected 156 runs in 37.2 overs. Bangladesh started the 2015 World Cup by winning their first match. Bangladesh started the 2019 World Cup by winning the first match. And hopefully Bangladesh will get off to a good start by beating Afghanistan in the first match of the 2023 World Cup. Bangladesh can easily complete only 156 runs as Bangladesh's batting performance will be much better today. Best wishes in advance for Bangladesh.

Afghanistan have got a good and steady start to their innings. They are 47/0 after 7.4 overs. The pitch looks great for batting again.

Dharmashala pitch is generally good for batting. Fast bowlers do not get much from the pitch, spinners can use it to their benefit. That is what is happening now, Afghanistan were playing well earlier now after spinners have bowling they are struggling. The have lost 2 wickets and have only added 88 runs after 18 overs. How long Bangladesh can maintain this momentum would be interesting to see. They have been able to stop the scoring rate and have created a pressure on Afghanistan batters.

A very poor and ordinary batting display by the Afghanistan cricket team. They bowled out at 156 in 37.2 overs. Except for Gurbaz, other batters looked ordinary. Excellent captaincy by Shakib; his bowling changes were spot on. This should be a walk in the park for Bangladesh Cricket Team. This is a great opportunity for Bangladesh to improve their run rate.

In the 2nd match: South Africa vs Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka have won the toss and chose to field first. The pitch is slow; there will be assistance for the spinners as well as for the fast bowlers. The par score on this pitch will be around 270. South Africa is the favourite to win this match.

I guess Netherlands is a team should not be taken too light because they did some amazing job as a bowling team with one of the top team today and to be honest at one point Netherlands were at the peak after taking 4 early wickets but the lack of experience from lower order team took advantage by the PAK batting and stitch decent partnership in the middle overs and put decent total.

I am impressed with the captaincy skill of Scott edwards and who knows they can upset one or two team and really bring the table upside down.

Look at their key players. Most of them are very young and they have a very bright future. Bas de Leede shoud have been the man of the match yesterday (Saud Shakeel won the award instead). He is just 23 years old and yesterday he performed exceptionally well by scoring 67 runs and taking 4 wickets. Vikramjit Singh, who scored a half-century yesterday is just 20-years old, and so is Aryan Dutt who opened the bowling. More matches against top teams would only mean a chance of improvement in the future. Also, the ICC has increased funding to associate nations by almost 3x from 2024 onwards.

Underdogs against top class team is not going to be an easy match, but they really did what they can do and three or four members showed their individual talents, but cricket is a team game so all the 11 players need to be at their best if they want to beat a team which maybe possible if they keep doing what they are doing from now on.

Let's talk about today's first match, AFG start off with a steady rate as of now and looks to play their best to show their level of existence and I am so eager to see if they can win against Bangladesh.

In the Afghanistan vs Bangladesh match, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field first. Ban will be looking to take the early wickets because the bowel will seam and swing in the first few overs. It will be a test for Afg openers. Rahamanaulla and Ibrahim have given AFG a good start in the past, and I am hopeful that they will play some good cricketing shorts and will try to take on BAN bowlers early on. AFG will be relying on their spin bowling to win the match, and if the pitch offers no turn, the chances of AFG winning the match will be significantly reduced. BAN batters are also in form and will play with positive intent.

ICC WORLD CUP 2023 THIRD MATCH

[

Image source

The third match of the World Cup will be played today at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala. Both Afghanistan and Bangladesh can win the match. I found two different bookies supporting each team, which means one particular team between these two is not a favorite. It may be because these two teams have shown irregular performance before they both entered the World Cup. I am sharing both the betting odds below.

Betting Odds - 1

Bangladesh - 1.71
Afghanistan - 2.09

Betting Odds - 2

Bangladesh - 2.14
Afghanistan - 1.71

This game will be hard to predict. I would still like to ask everyone on this thread, which team do you think will win today? Any guesses?

Bangladesh Vs Afghanistan

Bangladesh 1st match World Cup starts today. The match will be held at 11:00 AM Bangladesh Time. Bangladesh vs Afghanistan match will be held at Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. Bangladesh won their first match against Afghanistan in the 2015 World Cup on this day. Then Bangladesh won their first match against South Africa in the last World Cup. If they win today's match against Afghanistan, Bangladesh will be able to start with a good start in the first match for the third time in a row. However, Afghanistan's performance in the World Cup is not that good. I am a Bangladeshi I always hope victory of Bangladesh for the sake of my country. But do you think that Bangladesh will see a good start by defeating Afghanistan today?

In a short while the captains of both teams will participate in the toss phase. The wicket will be 100% bouncing and wicket batting will be helpful so both teams will want to win the toss and field first.

Today we can see both the teams to arrange the team with fast bowling. Since both teams are injury free, both teams will be able to enter the field with their best XI.

The first powerplay is very important for both teams, if two to three wickets can be picked up in the first powerplay then any team can be put under pressure.

Shakib Al Hasan against Afghanistan will make a lot of impact for the team both in batting and bowling as Shakib Al Hasan's record against Afghanistan is more than any other player.

Pakistan wins the 2nd match of the World Cup against Netherlands. Pakistan bowl out the Neds with 9 overs to spare and wins the contest by 81 runs. Pakistan batting didn't look too strong at the top end. They have one of the best ranked batters in the team but the performance was lacking from most of them. Mohd. Rizwan and Saud Shakeel came to their rescue and stabilized the innings.

With the way the Netherlands were running in the third wicket pair, it looked like the Netherlands might make a breakthrough against Pakistan, but after breaking that crucial partnership, the Netherlands could not turn around against Pakistan. The Netherlands batsmen have enough batting skills but they have trouble extending their innings. The few outs after 2 wickets have been over boundaries.

50 over game here you don't need to hit the over boundary, you have to try to get a single or double after seeing the good balls and also try to hit the boundary on the balls outside the wicket here there is no need to hit the over boundary.

Netherlands still have eight matches in hand so they must be patient and try to stay on the wicket to do well.

That's true, they were doing good till that point. But the problem is that after that point their batting line up becomes much weaker. The middle order looks weak.
