2nd ODI begins between OZ vs SA . OZ winning the toss and decided to bat first . They dint started that well and have lost 3 wickets for 94 runs in 15.4 overs . Run rate is good but now they require a good partnership to build a innings so that in the end they can accelerate the scoreboard . All three wickets till now is taken by Ngidi. He is bowling really well and great to see the fast bowler causing some trouble le for the batsman to play .
Anyway, if the series indeed starts then we might see a one sided series? The current South Africa team is too weak for India.
True that it will be one sided match but don't forget that South Africa is leading the 3 matches ODI series (1-0) and the win was a big one for them (SA won by 74 runs). If they can manage to win the series they will be very confidence and have a great fight against India too.@pakhitheboss i doubt that but if it happens then its okay too, good for players as some of them can use rest before the IPL.
More bad news coming out from Noida. Schools will now remain shut till March 9th. March 10th is an official holiday in india, so basically till 10 th of March school will be shut. I fear South African board might cancel the tournament and this situation can also affect IPL.
Very ugly situation in the making.
Things presently are getting only worse as new cases is being found in the entire world and as the dates are nearing for IPL definitely it will effect it and not sure if the dates could also be postponed as next tournaments etc is already schedule . Might be few players may not come due to the rapidly rising of virus unless by Mid March things started to get much better and able to curb it .
I did not anticipate Zimbabwe to fight till the end, i was expecting an easy win for Sri Lanka
I was thinking about wagging a bet on this match but the odds were too low to make and hence i opted out and now i wonder what would the odds be when it looked like Zimbabwe was trying to chase the big total, i guess it would have been crazy good valuation when the run chase was close, another reason was that the Zimbabwe players are new to me as i have not seen a single match they played . Outstanding match today between Zim and Bangladesh and the way Zimbabwe middle order batsman played and attacked it looked a different team all together . It was unfortunate that they ended on a losing side by just 4 runs chasing a score of 323 runs .Tiripano blistering innings helped Zimbabwe to come so close to the chase and yet just missed the win.
Yes it was really excited to see such performance from Zimbabwe because they was loss the match with only 4 runs chasing target of 323 runs I thought they can get thrilled win at end but unfortunately Zimbabwe has lost the game at end.

I did not anticipate Zimbabwe to fight till the end, i was expecting an easy win for Sri Lanka but the Zimbabwe middle order played some outstanding innings and Mutombodzi and Tiripano took the game close with some entertaining knock but they fell short by just 4 runs. If the top order played well and gave them a good start they would have chased the total.

From what I have heard, only two people have tested positive in India this week. Two of the schools have closed, since the child of one of the positive cases used to study there. That said, my friends in Delhi are saying that there is no sign of a lock down and the public transport is operating as usual. If things get out of hand, then the ongoing Ranji Trophy tournament might get postponed (semi-final matches are ongoing now).
Bangladesh ended up making 322/8. In reponse Zimb opener Kamunhukamwe fell for 51 runs and now on pitch Madhevere is on 39 and Sikandar Raza is batting on 31 runs. The task is big in front of them as they are 160/4 . They still require another 163 runs in 16.5 overs and asking rate is climbing close to 10. Only if this 2 batsman can play another 10 overs Zimbabwe might have hope that they are close to this chase.

With the sudden increase of suspected coronavirus cases in india, I doubt this tournament will happen. In just two day more than 6 new cases have been detected. Till yesterday it was two.

It's too risky now traveling internationally and the fear is strong. If this does not turn as disaster then may be we will see the series. The boards should be well aware about this.

Another ODI series is coming up or should i say another pointless series for India. It might be helpful if BCCI plan some T-20 games ahead of WC instead of 50 over cricket or give some break to players, their schedule is ridiculously packed.
South Africa tour of India
1st ODI - 12 March
2nd ODI- 15 March
3rd ODI - 18 March
Rohit not playing due to his injury and Virat is also taking break from ODI. Word is one of them (KL Rahul or Shreyas Iyer) might lead India against the SA.

ICC needs to open its eyes. Every year, close to 12 million USD is send to the Zimbabwe Cricket Board by the ICC. And most of this amount get stolen and the quality of cricket in Zimbabwe continues to decline. At the same time, promising sides such as Nepal and Malaysia are struggling due to the lack of funds. My advice is to suspend Zimbabwe for an infinite period of time, and distribute the funds among the associate nations.
If it was that easy to do ICC would have done that already, i think they have cut short the funding and degraded their status recently, it is not that easy to claim that the funds are stolen just like that, either you need some evidence to substantiate the proof to completely stop the funding, if not it will be against the contract they have, i guess they have a contract with the Zimbabwe cricket board regarding the funds.Bangladesh lost two wickets because of their sloppy running between the wickets but Tamim Iqbal is still in the crease approaching his century against Zimbabwe and if they are able to score over 280 runs it will be a tough chase for Zimbabwe.
Bangladesh after winning the toss decided to bat against Zimbawe and the opener Tamin played one of the best innings of his life by making 158 runs. This has helped the team to reach 297/5 in 46 overs. If Mithun can stay till 50 overs then Bangladesh can aim for 335+ runs easily and would be a good score to defend.

This would be good opportunity for these two players. I think K L Rahul has more chance of leading the team. Prithvi Shaw will again get a chance, I am sure he will be replacing Rohit shetty as an opener.
