2nd ODI Match Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka. Afghanistan cricket team won the toss and batted first. Afghanistan team is batting very comfortably. Their batting performance is much better. Although Afghanistan team's opener batsman Ibrahim Zadran could not perform well, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rahmat shah formed a great partnership. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 56 off 59 balls and Rahmat Shah scored 48 off 61 balls. Afghanistan team score, 115-1(23.2). Afghanistan team score is likely to be 300+ if Afghanistan team players can maintain the run rate
Afghanistan cricketers are batting maturely. They have managed to score 141 runs for 2 wickets at this point. I have never seen such beautiful batting style from Afghanistan before. Rahmanullah Gurbaz managed to keep up an acceptable performance of 68 off 73 balls. Really looking at the development of Afghanistan cricket i wonder how they have come so far. Whereas the condition of all the countries that joined cricket before them is still survive. Afghanistan cricket is performing well from all the aspects.

Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka match on going. Afghanistan won the toss and opted to bat first.Can Afghanistan manage 280+ runs in 1st 50 overs?what do you think?If Afghanistan do it then I think Afghanistan will win today match cz Afghanistan bowling site very hard.
Yeh it's a good choice to bat first because Afghanistan bowling side is quite good which can hold opposition away from win if Afghanistan score 280 around score, but it's quite disappoinment for Afghanistan side because one of his strong batter Ibrahim Zardan which are in great form who has score century in previous odi has been departure by L.kumara.
Now Afghanistan has 95 score in 17th over, hope gurbaz will score phenomenal inning in order to win this ODI..
2nd ODI  Afghanistan vs sirlanka
Afganistan chose to bat first and they are going really good so far 102 runs just 1 wicket gone in 20 overs maximum.  If they'll maintain partnership target can go up to 300 maximum. 
Sirlankan ballers till now are not performing and taking wickets .

Seddon Park, Hamilton The blizzard is not letting up. From that T20 World Cup, rain disruption started. The World Cup is over but its impact has not diminished. India had to wait for a long time after the start of today's game playing 4 overs due to the rain. Play resumed at one stage, but after 12.5 overs, rain domination started again, forcing the organizing committee to abandon the match. In the end the game was declared as no result.

This bilateral tour turning out to be a disaster due to rain.

First, it ruined the T-20 series but it was useless anyway. ODI does have some relevance because of the upcoming 50 overs WC. India would've liked some more game time as they are experimenting with the squad.
Why on earth both the boards decided to schedule the bilateral series this time of year in Newzealand is questionable. First one and a half T20 series got abandoned due to rain and now the same might happen to the ODI series. A complete waste of resources and time in my opinion this tour of India has been.

New Zealand vs India match was stopped for some time due to rain. The game started again as there was no rain for some time. The game started with 29 overs in this 50 overs. But the game was stopped again due to rain. India scored 89 runs in 12.5 overs and lost 1 wicket. This game will resume if the rain goes away and let's see what happens.
I think 89 score in 12.5 overs not a big score. And I think if the game will start again so now the New Zealand will play and New Zealand can chase this score easily according to the previous performance of New Zealand. BTW let see.
As this match has gone so far, it is impossible to say which team will win. In fact, rain spoils the image of the whole game. But hope the rain stops and enjoy the whole game.

Since its 29 overs game now India need to score somewhere around 220 to give there bowlers some chance and test Newzealand batting. But due to continuous rain the match has been called off and it ended without a result. India were in good position, now only one ODI is left and the only option India has is to draw the series

The Indian team managed to score good runs until the rain started. Had the game been over, India would have been able to score big. But having seen New Zealand in the previous match, they secured the win brilliantly, they have chances in this match too. Nothing can be said about the match condition due to rain.

In the 2nd ODI match New Zealand vs India the game between two teams has started. But the game is stopped now due to rain. Maybe this game will resume when the rain stops. India batted first and scored 22 runs in 4.5 overs but no wicket has been lost so far. India is good.  The batting was going to run, but due to the rain, the game is not going on anymore.
In the last New Zealand vs India first ODI, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl. In today's match too, they won the toss and decided to bowl. In this situation, India has no choice but to look at two issues. One is to increase the total score and the other is to make their bowling action stronger than before. Only then it is possible to defeat New Zealand. But if the rain does not cause any major hindrance.
Besides the rain, it has also started losing over as well. Rain is so disheartening after seeing Indian opener make a nice start. The bowling department just needs to work a lot harder, and the batting needs to click as usual. There has been a change in captain and coach, but there has not been a change in tactics. I am also displeased with how the Indian selectors are acting. In ODIs, they clearly need to step up with quality selection and put an end to the rest of the criticism.

It would be great if the rain wouldn't spoil the game. This series has no point if the match is abandoned!

edit- match live and India loses captain Shikhar Dhawan.

And we have yet another rain interruption. If it goes on like this, then the only venues where we can have cricket without the threat from washout will be in the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Unseasonal rains are becoming increasingly common, and the cricket calendar has also become crowded as a result of franchise T20 leagues. Now coming back to the match, even if rain stops and the play resumes within the next 10 minutes or so, the match will no longer be 50 overs. According to ESPN-Cricinfo, overs have been lost already.

BTW, we have another ODI match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan today at Pallekele. This match is a part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Sri Lanka has already lost their first match and if they lose this one also, then they need to play in the qualifiers for the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Arshdeep: Good death bowler? I disagree. He's one of the worst death bowlers if you ask me. He takes wickets now and then, but his economy is way too high. On top of all this, he cannot bat well either. There are many better options in comparison.
His overall economy rate is 8.17, which is considered very good for those who ball at the death overs(T-20).

Chris Jordan (T-20 Specialist) : 8.72
Dwayne Bravo (T-20 Specialist) : 8.12
Haris Rauf :8.7
Shaheen Afridi :7.52
Jasprit Bumrah : 6.62
Trent Boult : 7.86
Anrich Nortje :7.16

-------------
And in the Indian context let's look at these numbers when they ball at the death overs. He marginally outbowled even Bumrah.

Sri Lanka is having the worst time as recently below after below bringing down their moral and game badly which is never been ideal situation for them because recently too many controversies hit them and now on ground they lost first ODI against Afghanistan badly which is another below for them firs Afghanistan done good job in batting, and they were able to score very good target of 294 with the help of Zardan century even in last five overs Sri Lankan bowlers fight back and restricted them at this score because once mostly were feeling in this match Afghanistan is going to touch figure of 325 to 330.

After this amazing performance Afghani bowlers done another good spell of match winning performance which help them to restricted Sri Lankan top order very quickly but at the end Hasaranga were able to have done good performance which help them to lose this match by just 60 runs with this defeat now their chances are down for the automatic qualification into world cup.

Afghanistan is no more an associate teams rather they are as good as any other test team. Afghanistan scored 294 in first ODI and on Srilankan pitches its difficult to chase such a big target. Let's wait and see how SL play in second ODI. SL recently won Asia cup so I don't think they are totally down and out.
I have seen Afghanistan play very well in many matches.  But in some matches due to mistakes of Afghanistan players they lost the match.  Due to which Afghanistan is not able to do anything good but hopefully Afghanistan will move to a good position very soon.  Afghanistan has good bowling as well as batting performance.

The first ODI loss will surely keep Sri Lanka under pressure to win the second ODI. Afghanistan on the other side can play a free game. So, this match will be more interesting. In the match toss could play a big role.

Within few hours India vs New Zealand match begins. Based on the bowling India have got, it looks like an easy winning day for New Zealand and win the series.

Indian cricket is happy to find an effective left-arm seamer (Arshdeep) and you are talking about replacing him  Shocked

He bowls tough overs in the T-20 (Death overs), he does his job beautifully and I guess he proved himself in the T-20. I believe for India he's an excellent find and could go long in LOIs. It was his 1st ODI so he'll learn for sure.
Arshdeep: Good death bowler? I disagree. He's one of the worst death bowlers if you ask me. He takes wickets now and then, but his economy is way too high. On top of all this, he cannot bat well either. There are many better options in comparison.

Yeah agreed about this as he is young in this game and need some time as he is doing I have feeling he could be one of the best for the Indian team with his line and length you can't expect good results from very early games he was playing his first game of the career and guys need very quick results which is surely not good stuff.
There are many other young players like Umran who can bowl faster though their lengths need tweaking. India desperately needs someone who can bowl like Bumrah in their ranks.
