Sri Lanka posted a decent total of 307 runs and West Indies started really good and the openers gave a really good start without loosing any wicket and if they can put partnership like that they can avoid a white wash and win the match. Sri Lanka started really well and they were poised to make a huge score with the way they were batting but West Indies started picking up wickets in the later part of the innings and that is how they were settled for 307 runs.

SL's almost batsman today has contributed with the bat and helped the team to reach 307 runs in 50 overs. In response, WI have started very strongly and just lost their 1st wicket. they are now 113/1 in 19.1 overs. The match is equally poised and if WI have wickets in hand they can clinch this match. It is going to be wickets that matter here if WI lose it SL will win the match as it would add more pressure on coming batsman.

1st ODI between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh has started at Sylhet. Bangladesh winning the toss have decided to bat first. Liton das is on fire and batting at 62 in 56 balls and has played some magnificent shots in this innings so far. They are 105/1 in 20 overs and Zimbabwe bowlers were not hat effective in the first 10 overs bowling wise. Zimbabwe require some quick wickets to be back in the game.



Linton Das was retired hurt at 126 runs, Mithun in the end played 50 runs innings which helped Bangladesh to score 321/6 in 50 overs. In reply Zimbawe have started very poor and have lost quick 4 wickets for a just 66 runs in 19.4. Now, it seems quite impossible for them to score another 255 runs with average of 8.55 runs an over from here.

Awesome performance by South Africa, Australia being the favourite were destroyed by the Africans. They played as team and perfomed on all levels. Australians were struggling from the beginning. Two more matches to go with SA leading by 1-0.

Don't read too much in to this win. Apart from a few individual performances, South Africa still looks like a weakened squad. They were in trouble earlier on, but the partnership between Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller made the difference, with another good knock from Kyle Verreynne. Let's see whether they will be able to maintain the momentum.

For Australia, their middle order failed for the umpteenth time. This time it was Mitchell Marsh/Carey/Short.

Today we watch much better and organised South Africa as first they done very good job in batting and now have very competitive and good fielding and bowling right now South Africa controlling match Australia is out of match after few quick wickets now its very tough for them to  handle Ngidi and Shamsi as both leading home team for first ODI win.
It was a dominant performance by South Africa, Heinrich Klaasen was the player that made the difference as South Africa was able to put a good total on the board so that they could put pressure on the Australian batsman and the South African bowlers especially Ngidi bowled really well and picked up wickets at regular intervals. After seeing the T20 series i did not expect a performance like this from South Africa especially when they lost Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma within the first 10 overs.

An all round performance by SA team has lead to this superb win over OZ. And due to which they were able to beat OZ by 74 runs margin which itself is an achievement for them. SA will have to maintain this balance in coming matches so that they can win series as well. Klassen was his 123 not out innings was named man of the match.

Chasing score of 292 to win , Ngidi got rid of both openers Warner and finch quickly and put OZ under some pressure as they are now 61/2 in 10.4 overs. The run rate is good but if SA can pick another quick wicket here then this would just add more pressure and fall of wickets may begin in that stress . On other hand OZ now require a good partnership to reach to 292.

148/3 at the end of 30 overs. It seems a very difficult task for the South Africans. I still think Australia is dominating this match. SA does not have good batsmen left to chase this kind of score. 

SA has made a comeback and picked up crucial wickets and due to this OZ now require 95 runs in 58 balls and 4 wickets only remaining . This is getting tougher and most like OZ would lose this match. Ngidi is pick of the bowlers till now as picked 3 till now and bowling well too .

Even i did not expect South Africa to dominate the match, Australia started good but Klaasen played an exceptional innings to take South Africa to 297 runs and now Australia is struggling as they lost 5 wickets for 187 runs and they still need 105 runs to win the match and with the way South Africa is putting pressure on the Australian batsman it is a difficult task for them.

Australia started really well taking the wickets from the start but South Africa is recovering as Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller are putting up a good partnership for the 5th wicket and they are doing that at a good pace, i went for a bet for Australia to win the match and hopefully i will not loose this one as i already lost on in the T20 where South Africa restricted Australia in the second match which was unexpected.

Australian team is in form and probability of them winning this match is very good. South African team has recovered from the early downfall. I expect them to easily score 250 and above. This match will have close finish I think.

Klaasen is batting on 119 runs and Miller got out at 64. SA have a decent score on the board now and are 283/6 in 49.1 overs. Looking back the way they lost quick 3 wickets the team would be very satisfied as the middle order pulled them out from that initial trouble. Now SA will have to pick up early wickets else OZ opener are very aggressive and will take the game away if they stay 10 -15 overs on the pitch.

1st ODI between SA vs OZ have being played at Paarl. SA winning the toss decided to bat first and lost their first wicket on the first ball itself. SA are now 82/3 in 17.4 overs. Verreynne is batting on 26 and SA now require a good partnership to ensure they could sustain full 50 overs and can score as close to 300 runs in order to put pressure on OZ.

It looks as if the partnership between Heinrich Klaasen and Kyle Verreynne pulled South Africa out of trouble. When Temba Bavuma got cleaned up by Pat Cummins, they were struggling at 48/3. This partnership has added valuable runs, and that too at a good pace. Ashton Agar is not playing today, which is very surprising after his good performance during the T20 series.

Good news for both India and Pakistani fans. Asia cup will happen and both these team will play at a neutral venue, which of course is Dubai. I expected this to happen after Sourav Ganguly took the chair of BCCI president.

Asia Cup used to be one of the most high profile tournaments in the international cricket calendar. I am sad to witness its decline. Now they have converted the tournament to T20 format from ODI, which will further erode its importance. They could have at least increased the number of teams from 6 to 8, but right now they are not interested in that idea. Else, it would have given cricket crazy nations such as Nepal a chance to compete against the big teams.
