Well that was the Sri Lanka team's poor performance in test matches. Now they will be playing the ODI series and here the chances for Sri Lanka to perform well may increase. Again, this does not mean that they will be all of sudden wins for Sri Lanka or that Australia will start losing, No, not all all. Infact, the only thing i am saying is that we can hope the matches may be more compact and who knows, one or two big innings by Pathum Nissanka or any other batsman may be the reason for the Sri Lankans' upset.  Roll Eyes

Finally the test matches has been finished and now the Australia will play back to back two ODI games then go ahead to Pakistan for the big event of Champions Trophy.

Unfortunatley Sri Lanka had poor form through out the series and this time they are not a part of Champions Trophy, now to be qualify for an event has even became dream for Sri Lanka. If you remeber it was that team that was famous for its batsmen as well as bowling. Their wonderful stars took the retirement together and the team downfall was started, Malinga was still there but he was not able to led the team through the win alone , not one man army and at the end of the day, that downfall still not stop.

Tomorrow Pakistan will face to South Africa, I think it might be hard for Pakistan to win it, because Pakistan are suffering from their one player Saim Ayub missing and Babar Azam poor form however in the bowling side, no one can beat Pakistan.

Every player in the Pakistan squad is in bad form. Basically their performance is erratic. But suddenly Pakistani players surprise everyone by performing well in some matches. There is a possibility of Pakistan winning against south africa. Because  it cannot be said that the South African team is also in  very good form. I think the condition of both the teams is similar now. But the result of the match will definitely depend on the Pakistani batsmen. It is impossible to predict which match the Pakistani  batsmen will play well in. But since the overall condition of both the teams is similar, it is expected  that the match will be very competitive.
It seems really unusual that Pakistan would perform so poorly at their own venue. However, today's match is definitely a very important match for both South Africa and Pakistan because winning today's match is the only way for both teams to qualify for the final. However, since most of the players in South Africa's squad are new and lack experience, Pakistan can exploit this opportunity, so I see a lot of potential for Pakistan in this match for now.

Btw Cummins and Hazelwood are ruled out so the bowling department will be weak and there might be some question marks on the batting department as Warner and Stoinis took a retirement.

New Zealand are not a lucky outfit and they've used all their luck in the inaugural WTC campaign so idk. Pakis are miss and hit or call it kudrat ka nijam.
Now just one week left into this relevant big event of cricket Champions Trophy2025 before start of event and having current performance India, New Zealand and Australia are looking most competitive teams which have good chance of win here due to their superior quality and consistency.

But due to Australian pacers injuries now things are completely changed because India is having good advantage of conditions and good batting but still it's not easy because they are going to face Pakistan and New Zealand while Pakistan could be not big threat, but New Zealand is surely currently at his best. Hopefully now it's going to be fortune changer for New Zealand because they have balanced side with India is also in same group which making things more entertaining.

As the game started, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl first, a new player of South Africa Matthew Breetzke really made big runs due to which New Zealand bowlers were struggling and Mitchell Santner would have brushed into tension as he is the captain of the New Zealand.

However, when New Zealand came to bat, they had a loss of a single wicket earlier and hopes were rising for South Africa but after the first wicket Kane Willamsons and Devon Conway partnership played a huge role in New Zealand's victory, leading to game change. New Zealand have been succeed to built their place in the final round and who will be the opponent Pakistan or South Africa. it will be known tomorrow.

Second win for the New Zealand in this Tri Nation series and also just two games are left now. Tomorrow Pakistan will face to South Africa, I think it might be hard for Pakistan to win it, because Pakistan are suffering from their one player Saim Ayub missing and Babar Azam poor form however in the bowling side, no one can beat Pakistan.

Let's see it will be an amazing game on 12 Feb in National Stadium of Karachi. Today was a ceremony at Karachi Stadium and once again free tickets for all.

New Zealand won both games they have played and are now in the final. Tomorrow game between Pakistan and South Africa will be kind of semi final, as winner will play New Zealand in the final. The good news for South Africa is that Heinrich Klaasen will be available in tomorrow's game. Pakistan performance in first game was quite disappointing and South Africa chances of making it to final is more compared to Pakistan. But South Africa must not take Pakistan for-granted as they have history of giving surprises in such crucial games.

Yes, in this game, the whole team has to work hard and play together.  If a player does his performance separately, it disturbs the balance of the team and therefore the team can go towards defeat as well as towards victory.  There was a lot of interest in the match between South Africa and New Zealand and many people were targeting South Africa and saying that New Zealand will lose this match as the South African batsmen set a target of 304 runs in 50 overs which was quite strong.  But the New Zealand batsmen achieved this target in 39 overs and the South African bowlers could not exert any effort and pressure to win this match.  Because the run was not stopped from the South African bowler, due to which they sat on their hands and lose the match.

Maybe many cricket fans may have enjoyed the Test series between Sri Lanka and Australia, but currently, a series is being held between these two teams again. For now, we may not expect this series to be full of excitement or this series to be full of competition.

The question on everyone's mind is whether Sri Lanka will be able to play well in this series, Because Sri Lanka lost the first Test match to Australia by 242 runs, similarly Sri Lanka was defeated by Australia by nine wickets in the second Test match. Sri Lanka have failed to prove their mettle against the Australian cricket team in the previous two Test matches, so Sri Lanka will have to bat like the Australian team and bowl like the Australian team.

Well that was the Sri Lanka team's poor performance in test matches. Now they will be playing the ODI series and here the chances for Sri Lanka to perform well may increase. Again, this does not mean that they will be all of sudden wins for Sri Lanka or that Australia will start losing, No, not all all.

New Zealand's first match was against Pakistan and they won that match brilliantly. And in the second match, New Zealand faced South Africa and won this match by a huge margin of six wickets. Overall, the New Zealand team is currently performing exceptionally well in ODI matches, their batting performance and bowling are outstanding. Kane Williamson batted very well and patiently, as a result of which he scored 133 runs from his bat. After winning this match, New Zealand is at the first position of the points table, they have done exceptionally well in both the matches.
The 1st match between Pakistan and New Zealand was played at theGaddafi Stadium. New Zealand won the toss and elected to batting first. New Zealand set a record total runs 330 and wining the match. Pakistan chased a record total runs 252 and lost the match. Hopefully  new Zealand will play more matches like this in the future. Pakistan played a very bad match and needs to work hard now to move forward. They will have to work even harder to progress. The best bowling performance in the New Zealand team was by Mitchell Santner bowled 10 over conceded 41 runs and took 3 Wickets. Congratulations to New Zealand for their upcoming matches.
New Zealand International cricket team won the 2 matches of Tri nation series. New Zealand team also won the match against South African team and that was high score match but Kane batting was excellent in last match. Tomorrow we will watch the match of South Africa and Pak team and which team will win this match,will qualify for the final match. New Zealand team is favorite for the final but Pak team could come back in this match and could lift the trophy of this series. In this month, Champions trophy matches will be in these grounds and Pak team should try to build their confidence in these pictches.Pak team is unexpected team and we should focus on the performance of players and Pak team should try to bat first in next match and stand good total on board.

In this tri-nation series, the Pakistan and New Zealand squads are made up entirely of experienced players, but most of the players in the South African squad are completely new, with some of the players making their debuts in yesterday's match. However, Matthew Breetzke captured everyone's attention with an innings of 150 runs on debut, but unfortunately, South Africa could not win the match despite scoring over 300 runs.

Cricket is a team sport. During yesterday's match, South Africa failed to bond as a team, and were dependent on individual performances. On the other hand, New Zealand had perfect team balance. And this is the reason why they won the match. The Kiwi bowlers managed to slow down scoring, once Matthew Breetzke got out. Wiaan Mulder made some big hits, but he didn't received much support from anyone else. And the second wicket partnership between Devon Conway and Kane Williamson took New Zealand to 237/1 after 35.3 overs. By then, the match was all but over.

England's bowlers are quite talented. But they are not in good form. That is why India is able to perform well. Experienced bowlers like Atkinson, Mark Wood and Rashid bowled very badly yesterday. Everyone gave away a lot of runs. We have not seen any bowling well from any bowler. So they got an easy win against a big target of 305 runs.

Captain Rohit Sharma is back in form. Rohit Sharma was able to play a wonderful innings of 119 runs in just 90 balls. SHubman Gill scored 60 runs. India was able to score 132 runs from the opening pair.

Finally, after really a long time, we are seeing Rohit Sharma in good form and I hope he will perform even more better in the upcoming ICC tournament as well. Shubman Gill is also playing well but Virat Kohli failed to make changes in his bating style and couldn’t recover his form.

He also played domestic cricket to get his form back but still he is not performing and even there in domestic, he was out on such a low scores. All the team is good except Virat Kohli, let's see what will happen, India has also won this ODI series against England.

You are right South Africa relied too much on individual players and that is why they lost. On the other hand New Zealand worked well together as team and that is why they won. New Zealand bowlers worked together to slow down South Africa scoring and their batsmen especially Devon Conway and Kane Williamson formed very strong partnership that helped them to win. Meanwhile South Africa Wiaan Mulder played very well but his teammates did not support him enough. New Zealand teamwork and planning were clearly what helped them to win match.
New Zealand batted brilliantly and they built a great partnership. However, South Africa's bowlers were not very strong, if they had bowled well, they could have put pressure on New Zealand. Although South Africa scored a lot of runs, if they had bowled a little better, this match would have been more interesting. However, New Zealand's batting performance and patience were both excellent, which led to their victory. The batting performance and bowling performance of New Zealand were well planned and in the end they achieved a remarkable victory.

Proteas and Kiwis are having some nice practice games just before the Champions Trophy and it's going to help them in a big way, at least in comparison to Aussie and Poms.

Indians are playing in Dubai so conditions could be completely different, which shouldn't matter much because they have played enough there and have good experience in losing important matches.  Grin

In short, things can't get any worse than the 2021-22 T-20 WC.  Tongue

Don't worry about Aussies, they have the capability to play and perform in any country. Between they are not too far, playing bilateral series in Sri Lanka and giving usual stunning performance.

New Zealand have shown that they have a good squad for upcoming ICC champions trophy, played two games so far in the bilateral series and won both decisively. New Zealand only have one ICC event to there name which is ICC KnockOut Trophy (now ICC champions trophy) back in 2000.

From first game results, Pakistan team has shown that they don't have much interest in ICC champions trophy. For them it's just another ICC event.    
Btw Cummins and Hazelwood are ruled out so the bowling department will be weak and there might be some question marks on the batting department as Warner and Stoinis took a retirement.

New Zealand are not a lucky outfit and they've used all their luck in the inaugural WTC campaign so idk. Pakis are miss and hit or call it kudrat ka nijam.

Anyone following CWC Challenge League Group B? Italy is making good progress as of now, and yesterday they defeated Singapore. Now they have 11 points from 7 matches (same as Hong Kong, but 2 less than Uganda). Remember that only the top two teams from each group can qualify for the Qualifier Play-off. Italy has three more matches remaining, and the next one is against the strongest team in the group (Uganda). After that, they play against Bahrain on 15th February, and against Hong Kong on 16th February.

New Zealand is doing very well in this Tri Nation ODI series. They won their first two matches easily especially second one against South Africa where they won by six wickets. This shows that they are playing very well. Their batting and bowling have been excellent and Kane Williamson was great example of this with his careful and impressive score of 133 runs. With two wins New Zealand is now at top in points table and it will be interesting to see if they can keep playing this well for rest of the series.
