New Zealand is a very strong team on New Zealand soil and it is not so easy that a team like Bangladesh will beat New Zealand on New Zealand soil. Bangladesh has gone to New Zealand to play many opposition series before and Bangladesh could not do well against New Zealand in any series. Bangladesh have lost two of the first two ODI matches and there is a good chance that Bangladesh will lose the third match. I can already say that 100% result of ODI series will go in favor of New Zealand and 100% T20 result will go in favor of New Zealand.

Bangladesh should be thankful that New Zealand has not done to them what they did during the Kiwi tour of Bangladesh. If they want, New Zealand could have prepared tracks that would give unfair advantage to their pacers. But they have refrained from doing that. And even then, Bangladesh is performing poorly. Honestly, I am not sure what is the future for Bangladesh. They got the test status almost 2.5 decades ago, and even now they perform pathetically whenever they play outside the subcontinent. And once players such as Shakib, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur retire, it will be even worse.

South Africa Women Vs Bangladesh Women 2nd ODI

Both teams played well in my point of view particularly I will appreciate Fargana Hoque from Bangladesh she made 102 runs. Fahima Khatun also made 46 runs(not out) and in total Bangladesh made 222 runs with the lost of 4 wickets.
South Africa Women team played well too. They chased the target in 45 overs. Anneke Bosch made 65 runs(not out). She is the player of the match too.
By the way in three matches series both teams won 1…1 match and now there is one match left which will be the final and the team which will win the last match will win the series too. So let's see what will happen in the last match.

2nd ODI, Bangladesh tour of New Zealand. We watched the performance of Soumya Sarkar. His performance became unbelievable. His outstanding score is 169 from 151 balls including 2 sixes and 22 fours. If his best performance the match was beaten by New Zealand's all of the top order batsmen named Will Young (89), Rachin Ravindra (45), Henry Nicholls (95), Tom Latham (34), and Tom Blundell (24). Congratulations to the entire New Zealand team.

New Zealand won this match by 7 wickets and lead the series by 2-0. New Zealand chase down the target 296 runs in loss of 3 wickets in 46.2 overs. New Zealand batting performance is well especially Henry Nicholls who scored 95 runs in just 99 balls, unfortunately miss his well deserved century by 5 run short. will young also score well 89 runs in 94 balls and played an important role of NewZealand victory. The player of the match is Soumya Sarkar for his outstanding batting 169 runs in just 151 balls that helped Bangladesh to scored a decent total 291 runs for Bangladesh.

New Zealand is a very strong team on New Zealand soil and it is not so easy that a team like Bangladesh will beat New Zealand on New Zealand soil. Bangladesh has gone to New Zealand to play many opposition series before and Bangladesh could not do well against New Zealand in any series. Bangladesh have lost two of the first two ODI matches and there is a good chance that Bangladesh will lose the third match.

South Africa Women Vs Bangladesh Women 2nd ODI
In the ICC Women's Championship, the South Africa Women's team won the toss and decided to bowl in the second ODI between Bangladesh Women's team vs South Africa Women's team. Bangladesh Women batted carefully in the power play but lost their first wicket pair for 48 runs in the 13th over. Shamima Sultana was dismissed for 28 runs but Fargana Haque continued the cycle of runs. Fargana Haque completed his second career century by playing a brilliant innings of 102 runs. Also, Fahima Khatun scored 46* runs and Bangladesh Women's team managed to post 222 runs for four wickets. Bangladesh Women won the first ODI by 119 runs. South Africa Women will be batting in the second innings shortly but it will be very interesting to see if South Africa Women can turn around in today's match.

This game coins continued in pitch and in this game, South Africa women won toss and they decided bowl first in pitch. Bangladesh-W team was completed their batting lineup and Bangladesh-W team was scored 222 runs in 50 overs by losing 4 wickets. F.Hoque scored 102 runs in 167 balls and he hitted Eleven 4s, he performed very good effort. F.Khatun scored 46 runs in 48 balls and he hitted three 4s. Now south Africa-W team bowling is started and they performed good and hope they will chase down this 222 runs target. South Africa-W team scored 141 runs in 33 overs and losing 2 wickets. South Africa-W team scored 82 runs in 16.5 overs and I think they will win this game because they have lot of wickets and overs for play.

The match of New Zealand vs Bangladesh was won by New Zealand as they did a wonderful performance. Strangely performance by Soumya Sarkar , he made 169 runs in 100 strike rate alone, the players who made these runs in the test match we thought that he is a very good player but Soumya Sarkar made 169 runs in ODI in 151 balls, he is an unbelievable player.

These 169 runs by him could not made possible this victory otherwise they couldn't have lost this match even worse, and he also hit 22 fours and 2 sixes. He is a very good player and if he play like that so he takes the place of Shubham Gill in the ranking. However, despite all this, Bangladesh end up on the losing side.

Soumya Sarkar 169 on just 151 balls went useless today. Bangladesh had adequate runs on the board yet they lost the game. Mushfiqur Rahim was the second one after Sarkar to score some runs. Bangladesh could have easily scored 325 runs if rest of batsmen also made some contribution. With this win New Zealand now has also won the series and there won't be much interest left in last game.

It is really unfortunate that the Bangladesh team lost the match despite playing so well. I will not blame the batsmen of the Bangladesh team for losing this match. Bangladesh team players played well enough. Bangladesh team's 291 runs against a strong team like New Zealand is truly amazing. Seeing the 291 runs scored by the Bangladesh team, I thought that the Bangladesh team will win this match very easily against New Zealand. But unfortunately it was not possible due to the weakness of the bowlers of the Bangladesh team. In this match Bangladesh team had enough chance to win. But that opportunity was missed due to the failure of the bowlers of the Bangladesh team.

Ruturaj Dashrat Gaikwad used 2 balls and able to made 4 runs. Sai Sudharsan made 62 runs and used 83 balls. Tilak Varma made 10 runs and used 30 balls. The captain KL Rahul made 56 runs and used 64 balls. Sanju Samson made 12 runs and he used 23 balls. Rinku Singh made 17 runs in 14 balls. Axar Patel made 7 runs in 23 balls. Kuldeep Yadav made 1 runs in 5 balls. Arshdeep Singh used 17 balls and he made 18 runs. Avesh Khan made 9 runs and he used 9 balls. Mukesh Kumar made 9 balls in 4 runs.

Short summary is that India's batsmen did not bat well and they were all out at 211 in 46.2 overs. There was no way, India could win this match unless they also bowled out South Africa, but it did not happen. South Africa achieved the target by losing only two wickets.

An easy win for SA today after they bowled out India at 211. Only two fifties in this match from India side and SA don't have to work hard to chase that small target. In first ODI we saw SA bowled out for just 116 runs and today SA was on top. Both teams are now equally popular for the last game and its not easy to predict who will win the last game.

India vs South Africa in today's second ODI match, batting in the first innings, India collected 211 runs and got all out. In today's match, the Indian team did not bat very well due to which they did not score many runs. But today it can be safely said that South Africa is looking forward to a great win against India and in the end the result will be South Africa win. South Africa's batsman Tony de Zorzi's amazing batting form today led South Africa to win against India. Tony de Zorzi's brilliant batting performance of 122 off 119 runs saw us win a remarkable victory.

In today game, South Africa team get a chance by winning a toss and they elected bowl first in 2 nd game. India game showed worst effort in today game and they started first by batting lineup. India team scored total 211 runs in 46.2 overs after 46.2 overs entire team of India team dismissed from pitch. T. de Zorzi batsman effort very good in today game because he scored 119 runs in 122 balls with nine 4s and six 6s on pitch. T. de Zorzi was not dismissed from any bowler of Indian team and we know that India team is not a weak in cricket game. Now , both teams won one game each and equal chance to win 3 rd last game and win this series. South Africa won this game by 8 wickets and 45 balls high margin or wickets and balls.

Ruturaj Dashrat Gaikwad used 2 balls and able to made 4 runs. Sai Sudharsan made 62 runs and used 83 balls. Tilak Varma made 10 runs and used 30 balls. The captain KL Rahul made 56 runs and used 64 balls. Sanju Samson made 12 runs and he used 23 balls. Rinku Singh made 17 runs in 14 balls. Axar Patel made 7 runs in 23 balls.

325 would have been good, but the pitch was offering support for the batsmen as well as the bowlers. And New Zealand had experienced pacer in the form of Adam Milne (who went for 74 runs in his 10 overs). But it was the inexperienced duo of William O’Rourke and Jacob Duffy who broke the backbone of Bangladeshi batters. Soumya Sarkar was the lone player who offered resistance. If he had received some support form the other batsmen, then Bangladesh would have easily made a total of 300 or more.

New Zealand batsman played very well but scored only 291 runs and all out in just 49.5 overs. No doubt Soumya Sarkar playing well 169 runs in just 151 balls and Mushfiqur Rahim played a good inning of 45 runs in 57 balls but if these bastmen play fast cricket and set a total of 350 plus runs than they have good chance to win match. New Zealand batters especially Will O'Rourke picked 3 important wicktes by giving 47 runs in 9.5 overs and Jacob Duffy picked 3 Crusial wickets by giving 51 runs and restricted under 300 runs.

New Zealand certainly played very well and this was achieved due to the weakness of Bangladesh which made Bangladesh very weak in the game of cricket. But how long this weakness can be overcome depends on how well they are training. Bangladesh was not that weak in the game of cricket but recently they have become very weak. But surely they can improve their performance again and they can go to a good position again in the cricket world. Bangladesh team has both good batsmen and bowlers. So they can do well again. Just a bit of hard effort will be required

South Africa Women vs Bangladesh Women

Today these two teams will playe their first ODI match in East London. Almost both teams have equal performance so we can't say anything at this time that who will win today match. Because if we took a look back on the series of T20 matches so we will see that the series is equal with 1-1 and one oof the match abounded due to rain and this have no result. So in that matches they have almost equal. There were a tour match too. Which won by Bangladesh women team. So let's hope again the Bangladesh will try to win the match like they won the tour match.

First match, South Africa women won the toss and first decided bowling. Bangladesh women batsman makes 7 run in 2 over and south Africa no any wicket against Bangladesh women batsman. Bangladesh women batsman makes 38 run in 10 over. Bangladesh women batsman could not worked hard and struggle. South Africa bowler out the Bangladesh women batsman in the fourth ball of the 13 over. This is the first achievement for south Africa team. Once time again south Africa bowler out the Bangladesh women batsman in the third ball of the 17 over. This is the second achievement for south Africa team. Bangladesh women batsman makes 100 run in 25 over and 2 outs. This is very bad run in 25 over. Bangladesh women batsman makes 222 run in 50 over and 4 outs. This is the target for south Africa batsman. This is the good target.Now let's see south Africa batsman can complete this target.

The third and final ODI between India and South Africa will be played at Boland Park in Paarl tomorrow. At this point, the series is tied 1-1, so whomever wins tomorrow's match will be the series winners. India won the first match in a comprehensive manner, thanks to some spectacular performance by Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan. But the Indian batsmen disintegrated against Nandre Burger in the second match. For the third match toss is going to be important, as those who have fielded first have won both the matches so far. Also, Sai Sudharsan has impressed everyone in his debut series. So far he has 117 runs from 2 matches.

Yesterday was the second match between India and South Africa and this match was won by South Africa, and India lost it in a very bad way.

I think that KL Rahul doesn't deserve captaincy because he is not able to become a captain of a very big team that had the no.1 ranking in all formats, so how KL Rahul can become a captain of this country who is World Champion, and KL Rahul performance was also not fair in the recent one-day-international World Cup. He is not a player like a captain.

In yesterday's match, Ruturaj Gaikwad didn't perform well, he is not a good player, and I don't know why BCCI gave him too many chances to play. He made just 4 runs in 2 balls, and the second player who was standing on runs when Ruturaj Gaikwad lost his wicket was played well according to ODI.

At least, he gave confidence to their partners who would play in that match after him. He also hit a six, and he made 62 runs in 83 balls, he tried to lead his team to win but South Africa won the match by 7 wickets.

Soumya Sarkar may gift a victory to Bangladesh today. But the interesting thing is that he hardly got any support from the other batsmen. Apart from his 169, the next top score was 45 from the no.6 batsman Mushfiqur Rahim. And it's not like the New Zealand bowlers were wayward. They bowled with tight line and length, especially Adam Milne, Jacob Duffy and William O’Rourke. Adithya Ashok, on his ODI debut did a decent job as well. Still, a Bangladesh win is not confirmed yet. The pitch looks good for batting.

Despite Soumyo Sarker's massive collection of 169, Bangladesh failed to give away the 300+ target. I do not see any improvement in Bangladesh's batting order. Soumyo played well today. But Bangladesh's top order is weak as usual. Anamul Haque 2, Shanto and Liton returned to the dressing room with 6 runs each. If these 3 experienced top order batsmen could bat well, Bangladesh could have given a target of more than 350 in today's match. I don't think 291 is enough to beat New Zealand.

Bangladesh teams top orders are always failing to collect good start, it’s their common weakness for the long time. Yeah, only 2 batsman taken good runs Soumyo Sarkar 169 (151) & Musfiqur Rahim 45 (57), it was surprised to BAN team Soumyo got century after 5 years it’s a brilliant come back. Without top orders batsmans runs they will never reach 300 runs, so it’s not a fighting scored to New Zealand, they will win because they have strong batting line up.

Bangladesh has been looking very weak since the Cricket World Cup and it is not clear when Bangladesh's weakness will end. This is the failure of the Bangladesh Cricket Board. They could not form a good team. On the other hand, I saw in a news that Shakib Al Hasan, the all-rounder player of the Bangladesh team, is going to vote for parliament, so my question is, if a player is busy with politics, when will he pay attention to the game lol... This is how Bangladesh is ruining the reputation of the cricket game. Bangladesh had a very good reputation in the game of cricket but they are not able to maintain it

Yes not only Shakib Al Hasan but one more cricketer of Bangladesh is already a member of parliament he is Mashrafe Bin Mortaza he was also a very good player of Bangladesh team like this slowly if all the good players join politics then Bangladesh will lag behind in the cricket game it is normal this is Bangladesh cricket Board and Political Law Issues. Now Bangladesh almost lose most of the matches irrespective of the team they play against. Such plight of Bangladesh is really destroying the reputation of Bangladesh day by day

Bangladesh's mediocre batting continues. Every match they have to depend on a single batsman to play an extraordinary innings or they can't get a good total on the board. Today even though Soumya played a good innings, the other players couldn't do anything, they just went to the pitch and got back to the dressing room.

It was not a bad pitch for batting, Bangladesh needs severe improvement on batting. None of their players seem to be stable these days for them.

The management and selectors have been under a lot of pressure due to the inclusion of Soumya Sarkar and repeated chances, but the selectors have put their faith in Soumya Sarkar and Soumya Sarkar fully repaid the faith in the second ODI against New Zealand. Soumya Sarkar played a brilliant innings of 169 runs against New Zealand which is the second highest individual score in ODI cricket for Bangladesh. Soumya Sarkar's innings of 169 runs defeated Bangladesh on the day but one of the biggest takeaways for the fans is Soumya Sarkar's return to form after a long time. Although Bangladesh lost the match, Soumya Sarkar was awarded the Man of the Match for his brilliant innings. Congratulations Soumya Sarkar and congratulations to New Zealand Cricket.

Undoubtedly it was great moved to Soumya Sarkar but don’t judge him only based on one match, you know he has been out of form for the last a few years even he did not get a chances in the 2023 World Cup squad, so definitely he is of form player. And i think for today's big scored he got licences for the next 10 matches, if you agreed or not i think the team management gave him the most opportunities in the Bangladesh team but he could not give enough services to the team. So for the team selectors, it must be very stressful to give him a new chances in the team squad.

After the first match bravado, it was only fair that Indians failed in every department. Grin

The likes of Arshdeep and Avesh already took enough wickets in the first match and it's okay to go wicketless in the final match as well lol

I think they were in a relaxed mode and played with a bit overconfidence after winning the first match very easily. I'm not going to blame the bowlers though for today's defeat. Indian players haven't batted well today. As an opener, Ruturaj Gaikwad isn't doing well in the ODI format. Some Indian player plays a lot better in T20I and IPL matches, but their performance isn't good in ODI format as expected.

IMO we shouldn't throw the word "Overconfidence" so loosely. This is a new and young team and everyone is trying to cement their place and wants to perform so being overconfident and staying in their comfort zone is the last thing on their mind.

Proteas just outplayed them and there is no shame in accepting this. So far Rutu is not clicking but he's just 6 ODI old in this format and deserves a long rope because you want at least 4 good openers (including bench strength). Gill and Jaiswal (WIP) are almost set, need a couple of more guys at this slot.

OP I agree with you. No other batsman except Soumya Sarkar could score good runs in the second ODI against New Zealand. If one or two players like Soumya Sarkar could have scored a century or a fifty, then maybe the score of Bangladesh would have been a little bigger, then Bangladesh could have won this match very easily. But I think the main reason for losing today's match is Bangladesh's poor bowling. We missed Taskin a lot in today's match. Bangladesh bowlers could not bowl well, Bangladesh set a target of 292 runs to South Africa. If Bangladesh could have bowled a little better then maybe Bangladesh could have won this match very easily.

These 169 runs by him could not made possible this victory otherwise they couldn't have lost this match even worse, and he also hit 22 fours and 2 sixes. He is a very good player and if he play like that so he takes the place of Shubham Gill in the ranking. However, despite all this, Bangladesh end up on the losing side.

Bangladesh team should have given 300+ target today. The main weakness of the Bangladesh team was that 2/1 players in the squad performed well, the rest of the players performed below average. In today's match, if one more top order batsman could have batted well with Soumyo Sarker, or if Miraz had been able to bat well, then Bangladesh team could have given 320+ target very easily. The performance of every Bangladeshi player is very erratic. This is why Bangladesh's overall performance is poor despite having a lot of talented players in the squad.

While I agree with you that in 50 over format, anything above 300 runs is a good target. That does not mean that 291 runs were not defendable by the Bangladesh team. The lack of experienced and effective bowlers has been an issue with the side, and it will continue to haunt them. New Zealand were always a good batting side, and they proved today once again that they can chase runs. Two more games left in this series and I am not expecting much from the Bangladesh side.

Bangladesh needed to have an experienced pace bowler in the squad on such a pitch. Shariful or Hasan are talented but not experienced enough. If Taskin was in the squad, maybe we would have seen the bowling of Bangladesh a little better. The target was not big. And so New Zealand's batsmen batted in a pressure free manner. A win with a target of 291 runs is certainly possible if the team's bowling attack is strong. Bangladesh's bowling attack is not strong. So it is much more difficult to win on a pitch that offers a target of less than 300.

Bangladesh has not been known in the world for any other sport except cricket, they have been able to represent themselves globally only for this cricket. But suddenly their performance has dropped a lot and they are showing bone in almost all the matches. Bangladesh lost to New Zealand in two consecutive ODIs. They have their third ODI on December 23 and the way they are playing it looks like they will lose the match that day as well. The reputation of Bangladesh is falling from cricket day by day

On this pitch, a score of 291 is definitely not safe. New Zealand successfully chased it down with 22 balls remaining. The total set by Bangladesh was never enough. Unfortunately, Bangladesh lost both the match and the series against New Zealand. It appears that Bangladesh's poor form will persist for a while, and there's no clear date for their recovery. Despite claiming to be good at playing ODIs, Bangladesh ended up losing all the ODIs they played in Mirpur, both at home and away. Bangladesh is falling rapidly, and they need to abandon their delusions and change their approach.
