Is anyone here in this thread watching Hong Kong Tri Series OD competition?

Today, one of Play off match finished in between two squads Hong Kong squad and Hong Kong A squad. Both these squad already eliminated from this competition and final match also finished already on crease which was played yesterday Malaysia squad against Canada squad. Hong Kong squad was started this match first batting inning by winning toss. If Hong Kong squad displayed today match performance in previous matches then Hong Kong squad obviously qualify for Final match but sadly this was not happen. Hong Kong squad collected 439 scores such a huge defeating target just lost of 2 wickets. Martin Coetzee only this batter wiped out at 18 scores and other three batters achieved full century on crease. Hong Kong A squad was unable to defeat this tremendous target and all overs ended just one delivery remained and also all batters wiped out.

I actually think that Hong Kong A did pretty well in this match. I did not think they will even cross 300. But even though they were unable to get anywhere near the target, they were able to score a lot of runs. Of course, this match was one-sided. But we saw some great performances in this match. I personally would have liked to see that the Hong Kong A squad also have similar kind of performance like the Hong Kong squad and try to build partnerships. Because that could have meant them getting incredible personal score as well. But I am also happy that they were actually trying to chase the target.

The first semi-final match of this year's U-19 World Cup will be held tomorrow. In the first semi-final of the U19 World Cup, India U19 team and South Africa U19 team are facing each other. India U19 reached the semi-finals as group champions and they faced South Africa's. South Africa U19 very well as they also won most of the matches. There will be a lot of pressure on both teams in tomorrow's match as they have already reached the semi-finals. The team that wins tomorrow will directly reach the finals and the losers will be eliminated from the tournament.

^^ Forget about the Aussie squad for a sec as BIG-3 almost always takes white ball bilateral as an audition for new players.

I am more surprised about the fact that Australia packed their summer with a full Windies tour. 2 tests, 3 ODI and 3 T-20, not sure when was the last time they were so generous for any lower ranking team.

Test series one -onw equal. But it is certain that Australia will defeat West Indies by 3-0 in the ODI series. Moreover, it can be said with certainty that they will defeat the West Indies in the next T20 series as well. West Indies are not the team to beat Australia at their home ground in Tests, ODIs and T20s as West Indies are relatively weak. I am forced to make such a prediction as the West Indies are currently much weaker than before.

Australia is stronger team and that's why they are winning most of the matches with West Indies. They easily won their 1st odi match again West Indies. Their bowlers were so skillful and batsman were good enough score. So is happened with 2nd ODI match. Although in 2nd odi, Australian top batsman did make good runs but their mid order batsman make up everything by applying their best effort. Sean Abbott(69) was one of them. But Australian bowlers didn't forget to apply their skills in bowling and that is caused west indies keep losing wickets and lost the match by 83 runs. Tomorrow 3rd odi will start and a big possibility that Australia will win the series with 3-0 lead

Tomorrow we will again see Australia win against the West Indies. That was a series of 3 ODIs and the first 2 matches were taken by Australia as they take World Cup from India.

However, in Sydney and Melbourne, we didn't see West Indies' performance but now it's time to see them at Canberra. Let's hope that in Canberra their performance will some better than previous, and after this series, T20 will come, maybe Shamar Joseph will lay these series, if he recovered his foot injury but it is like impossible because if he plays so his speed will gone as Shaheen speed went, when he had a foot injury that's why he didn't play Asia Cup 2022 but he come to play 2022 T20 World Cup and on this World Cup final he got a knee injury on Moeen Ali's catch and on that time 15 overs were passed and 2 overs were left of Shaheen Shah Afridi but he can't do that and go to the bench.
I agree with you. Australia has been doing really well in the first two matches and in the World Cup too. So it's likely that they will keep winning against the West Indies. But we should also think about how the West Indies team could get better. They have a match coming up in Canberra, and they might be able to show off their skills and do better than before. Shamar Joseph might not be able to play because of his foot injury. By the way we can't get any conclusion at this time because West Indies can also make a comeback. We can't underestimate West Indies team.

The third ODI match of the ODI series between Australia and West Indies i.e. the last match of the ODI series will be held tomorrow.We saw the Australian team win the first test match to lead the series and then West Indies dramatically won the second test match by just 8 runs. This resulted in a drawn Test series between West Indies and Australia.

But after that the ODI series between West Indies and Australia is being held where Australia has already secured the series win by winning the first two matches. Tomorrow the last match will be played between the two teams now it is to be seen which of these two teams will win this last match. If Australia win then West Indies will be whitewashed in this series as Australia have already won two matches.

I stand with Palestine.
Anyway paksitan batting side faced an un expected disaster yesterday and for that reason most of their talent and in-form batter didn't manage to score at such crutical and vital situation. But thanks to shah's brother who always played a leading role in such pressure situation and to be honest through thier contribution paksitan not only get into the game but win the important match too.
Now tomorrow we have India vs south Africa which I believe India will won it easily but if we have a look at paksitan opponent which is one the top and toughest side of every world Cup and I am sure they will brutally damage paksitan team. But if paksitan batter played decetly and scored big and then some firey bowling get thier early important wickets then it will be another India vs Pakistan which will get recited breaking view again and I really wish this to happen
I agree with you Pakistan batting side had a bad time in the last match which was a problem. But Shah's brother played an important role in helping Pakistan recover and win the game.
And we know that the World Cup is now going in Semifinals round. The next match between India and South Africa is coming up. India is a really good team and people think they will win easily. But we can't underestimate the South Africa team because this is the semifinal and anything can happen. So let's see what will be happened?  Smiley

In yesterday's match, no one played well from Pakistan's batting line up and after seeing their batting we thought that Pakistan's progress in this World Cup is finished after this match, no Shamyl Hussain, no Shaziab, no Saad, no Azam, and no Ahmad Hassan played well, and if someone played well so these are the bowlers.

The difference is that West Indies sent their regular squad, while Australian side consisted mostly of bench players. For Australia, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Will Sutherland made their debut today. More than half of the players were not part of the ODI World Cup squad. And even more surprisingly, it was no.8 batsman Sean Abbott who top-scored for Australia with 69 runs. West Indies bowlers were a disappointment, apart from Gudakesh Motie. And while chasing, West Indian batting lineup was destroyed by Hazlewood, Abbott and Sutherland.
Now it's good time for them to check performance of their bench player because they already achieve good results in this season in all formats and this is going to be good time for them to have things in tough while today Sean Abbot were all around first with bat then ball and catches as well which give Australia a solid win and then man of the match award for him.

West Indies done good job while they won second test but still long way to go for them if they are looking for back into international cricket because it could be not easy while they have no quality bowlers and batsmen which can give them good performance against quality teams in all formats.

It's because of Sean Abbott 69 runs that Aussies were able to score 258 runs and played there full 50 overs. West Indies bowling was quite satisfactory but there batting was another failure. Wickets for all 5 Aussie bowlers that are used today. Sean Abbott was also most successful bowler with 3 wickets. From West Indies side Keacy Carty was highest run scorer with 40 runs. 258 is very small target and WIindies must have chased that.

The pitch was not batting friendly. So the players of both the teams are facing problems to score runs. Australia's top order players cannot bat well. Australia lost 5 important top order batsmen to collect 91 runs. If the West Indies bowlers could have controlled bowling, Australia would not have scored even 200 today. However, responsible batting by Labuschagne, SHort, Hardie and Abbott gave Australia a decent target of 259 runs. It was quite a big target considering the pitch. And obviously Australia won this match. Australia will probably win the ODI series 3-0.

The match between Bangladesh U19 team vs Pakistan U19 team that took place and finally broke the hearts of everyone who watched the match and among them were Bangladeshi fans. If the game had ended earlier and if Pakistan U19 team had won earlier then maybe the fans would not have suffered so much but the last wicket fell after being very close to victory and with the fall of the last wicket Bangladesh's dream of semi-final match ended. The target for Bangladesh was limited so there was no need for Bangladesh to be in such a hurry. The way Bangladesh U19 bowled and the way they kept Pakistan within a few runs, we thought maybe Bangladesh would win and secure the semi-final, but it didn't happen.
There is no doubt this is heartbroken defeat for the Bangladesh specially after having target like 155 which was achievable with impressive bowling give them fair chance for the jumping into last four but their batting and Pakistani amazing bowling bring into this game, and now they need to learn from their mistakes with having to improve their quality and performance for the future because these youngsters can do much better in the future.

From here we can predict with most chances we will have final between Australia vs India because these both are having good teams with good bowling and batting giving them good advantage while Pakistani batting is having problems which are giving them disadvantage and South Africa is also having some problems while they will face India.

Today one more match of ICC Under 19s World Cup competition is ongoing on crease which is playing between Pakistan U19 squad against Bangladesh U19 squad. Pakistan U19 squad was started this match firstly batting inning by calling of Bangladesh U19 squad. I feel that Pakistan U19 squad is facing very critical situation and there is lots of pressure on their bowlers because Pakistan U19 squad bowler are not able to stop Bangladesh U19 squad batter for defending their target. In batting inning performance of Pakistan U-19 squad was also very bad and they did not collect challenge defeating target just 155 scores and all batters gone in 40.4 overs. Now Bangladesh U19 sqaud displayed their batting inning performance on crease and Bangladesh U19 squad almost defeated 123 scores and just 33 scores more for defeat in lot of others and then Bangladesh U19 squad emerge victory.

The match between U19 teams of Pakistan and Bangladesh has entered in an interesting phase. Bangladesh need 32 runs in 20 overs and they have only 2 wickets in hand. Bangladesh have lots of balls left to chase the target, they just have not many wickets left. Pakistan bowlers have done a good job after a poor display from there batting side. Odds were in favour of Bangladesh but at the moment they are slightly more in favour of Pakistan. Two new batsmen are at the crease and they will be under huge pressure for sure.

9th down for Bangladesh and they now require 12 runs in 93 balls with only 1 wicket remaining. Even if they win from here, I believe it won't matter as the position is going to be decided through run rate and the Bangladeshi team has not much improvement than Pakistan. This means Bangladesh would be eliminated even if they win.
The game had been a low scoring one with the target of 156 given by Pakistan easily achievable and things were looking comfortable for the Bangla team in the first 10 over of their batting. But than the wicket kept falling and none of the batsmen could remain on the crease for long. Ubaid shah having an impressive 5 wicket haul.
Bad luck for Bangladesh team. Bangladesh did a good bowling performance today to keep Pakistan within a few runs, but Bangladesh could not put up a good batting performance and they lost today with very few run. Bangladesh came down to play the target of 156 runs given by Pakistan and managed to score 155 runs by losing wickets very quickly as a result of which Bangladesh had to be defeated by Pakistan by only 5 runs. Although there are many simple equations for the Bangladesh team to survive in the semi-finals, the Bangladesh U19 team cannot fulfill that simple equation. Today I expected from the beginning that Bangladesh can beat Pakistan to win even though it was easy but Bangladesh had to lose in the last.
Sometimes even simple matches become complicated. For example, the same thing happened in today's match between Bangladesh U19 team and Pakistan U19 team. The entire cricketing world thought that Bangladesh U19 team could easily win against Pakistan U19 team. But instead, the opposite happened. In today's match, Bangladesh U19 team bowlers created many chances to win. But the batsmen of Bangladesh U19 team failed to use that opportunity. If the batsmen of Bangladesh U19 team tried to play with a cool head. Then Bangladesh U19 team could have easily won this match. Bangladesh Under 19 team batsmen can never avoid responsibility for the defeat of today's match.
The match between Bangladesh U19 team vs Pakistan U19 team that took place and finally broke the hearts of everyone who watched the match and among them were Bangladeshi fans. If the game had ended earlier and if Pakistan U19 team had won earlier then maybe the fans would not have suffered so much but the last wicket fell after being very close to victory and with the fall of the last wicket Bangladesh's dream of semi-final match ended. The target for Bangladesh was limited so there was no need for Bangladesh to be in such a hurry.

It was great opportunity for West Indies team to win the second ODI and level the series but they were not successful in doing that. West Indies not only lot the second ODI but the series also. It was great bowling from West Indies side after they decided to bowl after winning the toss. Australian top order was not able to score much but great support lower down the order from Marnus Labuschagne, Short, Hardie and Abbott. Australians bowlers never allowed West Indies batters to settle and whole team got out on just 175 runs.

Sean Abbott from Australia played too well, he made 69 runs and took 3 wickets also. At the same time he was involved in two brilliant catches that he took and was the player of the match. Australia won this match easily because none of the West Indies batsmen tried to stay on the crease and make runs.

As expected the West Indies team were not that good to challenge the Australians. They bowled well whereas they batted badly or it might be that the Australians were bowling above average. Unless West Indies work on their batting they will continue to lose ODI and for a fact they did not have their star bowler, a bowler who was able to get a win in test format in Australia after 27 years.

Shai Hope, the captain of the West Indies ODI team was a very good player before this series, they had a series against England, and at that time, the England team was on a tour of the West Indies, on that tour Shai Hope played very well in ODI but in this series, Shai Hope's performance is exactly opposite than his previous matches, he take ODI to test in today's match, it seems like he wanted to play Test. Maybe, it can be a cause of different pitches he was chasing a target so he should play fast, if he gave a target so it's done but he was chasing and he is the best player so he should play on any pitch.
