NZ are batting well now and are already at 178 runs and need another 170 runs from 18 overs. With just 3 wickets down and Taylor out there, it looks possible but still the RRR is nearing 9 and if he gets out, I don't see any batsmen good enough to get 150+ runs.
Today India's opening partnership was decent considering it's a new one and having inexperienced players bat. Rahul not being the opening batsmen was a good move as he was eased of that pressure playing without Rohit.

NZ have started their innings very well and are 117/2 in 21.4 overs. They still require 231 and 8 wickets with required rate being 8.15. If India can pickup another wicket of Nicholls here who is batting at 59 NZ will start to feel the pressure again and may lose wickets quickly. And if they Taylor and Nicholas can play another 10 overs together things may be under control of NZ and require rate may fall.
Good to see James Neesham back in the New Zealand bowler. He is someone who is capable of bowling economically in the middle overs. In the absence of strike bowlers such as Boult and Ferguson, he will be very useful against the Indian batting lineup. So far the New Zealand bowlers have done well, to restrict India to 62/2 after 13 overs. Onl;y Hamish Bennett looked out of sorts, as he conceded 26 from his 3 overs. The other bowlers have done well, till now (Southee/de Grandhomme/Neesham).
Average performance by Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal. Good batting by Shreyas Iyer, this is a complete one sided game now. It is highly unlikely that NZ will be able to cBase such a massive target.
Why do I feel this ODI series will be a whitewash just like the T20 one.
^Maybe team management wants him to fit to be in the middle order because India already have one of the best opening pair of Dhawan and Rohit so making KL Rahul to play at the top is like wasting the available opportunity.Iyer plays more responsibly now and wants to seal a permanent spot in the team as well.Big target for the NZ can they get it?
My pick NO.
My pick NO.
I was surprised to see Rahul being not the opening batsman for India as he really builds the innings well and should be on top of batting line up and also when their are no experienced batsman opening the batting . But finally India played well and Kohli, Rahul and Iyer innings ensured India reaches to 347 for 4 in 50 overs . Iyer completed his century and was out for 103 hi
How things can take a turn when just few days back SA struggled in test match against same team has started well in the match, though Denley and lower order batsman helped England to pass 250+ runs which at one point was just a thought for them. SA started the chase well and are 76/1 in 16 overs.
It was a complete change in attitude in the shorter format and they were able to chase the score with the help of inform batsman Quinton de Kock and Bavuma missed his century by 2 runs and as long as the top order scores they are a formidable team in the shorter format.India is playing really well and KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer in the crease and India will be looking to post over 300 runs and New Zealand is dropping catches in the outfield which will not help them in any way. Kane Williamson is not playing for New Zealand and hence it will be difficult for them to chase a huge total, hopefully it will be an interesting match till the end.

I am really surprised to see England struggle against South Africa as they lost 6 wickets for 170 runs and Shamsi bowled a really economic spell and picked up 3 crucial wickets, i was expecting England to dominate the match but South Africa bowled really well and if they could pick up the rest of the wickets and fold them to a low score then South Africa can win the match.

South Africa bowled really well till the 35th over and then they were not able to contain the England batsman and props to Joe Denly and Chris Woakes who played really well to put up a decent score to defend and South Africa need to build partnership to chase this score as they are struggling to put runs on the board in other formats and hopefully they can give a tough challenge for England and Quinton de Kock have to play a good innings to take the team to safety.

Its still very interesting match as Denly and Woakes both are on crease they already contributed more then 50 runs in 11 overs if these both able to stay on for some more overs then surely England will be able to post more then 250+ which could be fighting score Curren still to come he is also handy in limited overs matches batting is also not as they was in past still many issues and many questions to be replied by them as they will came on batting.

This one is pretty much in the bag with Indian batsmen having stepped on the gas a bit for the last 5-6 overs. They are cruising at a comfortable 89 for no loss after 21 overs. Need just 84 runs now at less than 3 rpo. The senior Pakistan team routinely gets booted out at the hands of India in world cups. No surprise that the young padawans are also making a habit out of it..
Its circle of time this is 10th match between these two team and Pakistan is already leading by 5 - 4 today this will be 5 - 5 in first 6 matches Pakistan was leading by 5 - 1 but recently its falls down badly just because of bad management and poor policies as this happen in PCB cricket is also going down like Squash and Hockey so this will carry on if we have some good person in management hopefully this will change again in near future.

Much awaited contest of U19 world cup between India and Pak has started. Pakistan winning the toss decided to bat and lost Huraira very early and are now 27/1 in 5.3 overs. Haider is taking a lead and has played few fantastic shots in the early innings and would like to build the innings so that Pakistan can leverage the last 10 overs when they have wickets in hand.
So now they have a FIFTY-run partnership between Haider Ali 48* & Rohail Nazir 25*. | PAK 84/2 in 21.5 overs. Haider Ali is dominating the game for now. India needs to break this partnership.
Well bowled by Jaiswal Haider Ali out, partnership broken.
Pakistan has lost quick wickets after Haider got out and struggling at 163/7 in 38.3 overs. Nazir is the key now as batting at 59. If he gets good support from lower order they can bat for full 50 overs will cross 235+ runs. But if Nazir or other players get all out quickly then can be all out before 200 only. Indian bowling and fielding has being good so far.
The U19 Indian team has got good bowlers, I am sure this partnership won't last long. Few more tight overs and the wickets will start to fall. If India restrict them to score of 200 then Indian can win this match.
Really Indian U19 bowlers doing great there because Pakistan U19 already lost their 9 wickets for 172 runs. I think they can give target under 200 runs to India. So it will be very easy target to chase for Indian U19.
Indian bowlers really bowled the disciplined line and length and as a result they were able to get the Pakistan team all out under 200 . Finally chasing the 173 runs target of Indian batsman started well and are batting at 81/0 in 19 overs . Both openers have not taken much risk and cruising quite well for their 173 runs target . Pakistan would be disappointed with their performance in this match .

All out for 172, not even 200. This is a mediocre batting performance by th Pakistani team. This game can be easily won by the Indian side if the team does not lose early wickets and play sensibly without taking any risk.
