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.

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.

The opening pair of South Africa's batsmen performed very well, due to which the pressure on the wicket was reduced later on. But Tony de Zorzi stayed in the field from opening batsman till the end, and Tony de Zorzi scored 119 runs from 122 balls not out. This young batsman played the biggest role for the victory of the South African team. But the bowling of the Indian team could not get this young batsman out of the South African team.

This is a common image of Bangladesh in general. When a batsman bats well, if another batsman can provide good support, then the team score is likely to be bigger. Only Soumya Sarkar played an innings of 169 runs in this match but then not a single batsman could help him in such a partnership. This can be seen as the consistent failure of Bangladesh's top order batsmen.

But one thing was better if Bangladesh could have won today's match then Soumya Sarkar's innings of 169 runs would have been the best match of her career. But New Zealand's innings got off to a good start as they have already scored 90 runs for the loss of one wicket. Although Bangladesh's target of 292 is not bad, this target is not a difficult target for New Zealand at the New Zealand venue.

I stand with Palestine.
Bangladesh VS New Zealand
Bangladesh has played their turn and made 291 runs in 49.5 overs. There is the man who really deserves appreciating words he is Soumya Sarkar. He really played well and if Bangladesh will win this match so credit will go to this person. He made 169 runs. Other plyaers were not standing with him. If they also make good partnership so I am sure about the Bangladesh could easily go above 350 runs.
Well, New Zealand has started its turn and made 30 runs without any lost of wicket in 6 overs. Rachin Ravindra and Will Young are playing at this time if this Partnership will remain on the pitch till 150+ runs so I think New Zealand can win this match.

Some achievement today for Bangladesh Between BAN Vs NZ match

Soumya Sarkar scored a career-high 169 runs. This is his personal best but second highest for Bangladesh. Liton Das is the highest with 176 runs.



Rishad Hossain hit the first ball for a six on his career debut. Rishad Hossain has had a brilliant start to his career and is the first Bangladeshi to hit a six on debut.

Bangladesh struggled to post a competitive score in the second ODI, with Soumya Sarkar scoring his third century in ODIs with a brilliant performance of 169 runs. Despite being dropped three times by the New Zealand fielders, he capitalized on the opportunities. Duffy, on the other hand, was the standout bowler for New Zealand with 3 wickets and bowled a powerful last over to O'Rourke to claim three wickets. It will be interesting to see if the Bangladesh bowlers can restrict New Zealand to 291 runs or if New Zealand can successfully chase down the target and win the series today.

Bangladesh VS New Zealand

The second match of the New Zealand vs Bangladesh ODI series has started. We have seen that Bangladeshi batsmen did not perform well in the first match. New Zealand decided to bowl to take the toss in today's match. Bangladesh lost the toss and went into bat, losing wickets and under pressure. Najmul Hossain Shanto had a poor performance in the first match as well and was dismissed for 6 runs in the second match. Najmul Hossain Shanto I expected good performance from him as captain but he did not perform well. Bangladesh's opening batsman is yet to be decided. Bangladesh's opening batsman cannot survive the power play.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to field first in the second ODI between India and New Zealand. Bangladesh team is under a lot of pressure after losing important wickets in the power play. Bangladesh team lost four wickets for ninety three runs. Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim are batting well for the team. The current score of Bangladesh team is 157 runs for 4 wickets in 30 overs. Looking at the current condition of the game in Bangladesh, it seems that if the partnership of Mushfiqur Rahima and Soumya Sarkar survives, then maybe Bangladesh can give a target of 270 from New Zealand. If New Zealand can be given a target of 270 runs and if Bangladesh bowlers can bowl well then maybe Bangladesh can win the match.

Najmul Hossain Shanto I expected good performance from him as captain but he did not perform well. Bangladesh's opening batsman is yet to be decided. Bangladesh's opening batsman cannot survive the power play.

However, so far Bangladesh have collected 93 runs by losing 4 wickets in 21 overs. Right now Bangladesh is under a lot of stress. Soumya Sarkar performed poorly in the first match but played well today. Soumya Sarkar remains unbeaten on 51 runs. Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim are at the crease and they should form a good partnership. If both of them can do well then Bangladesh can give a good run target. Let's see how many runs Bangladesh can target today.

Today match India batsman played can not very well. Because he could not increase the run and make the tough target for south Africa. Among them, some batsmen played with effort and struggle but most of the batsmen have made the target of the match by playing in a hurry. The South African bowler did well and did not allow the Indian batsmen to score too many runs. And there is a strong hope that their batsmen will play with similar hard work and struggle and win the match.South African team plays better and better than Indian team.  And the match is won. Had the Indian batsman scored 250 plus runs, they would have probably won the match.  But fate could not be with him.If India bowler control the south Africa batsman then he won the match.Otherwise, India loses this match.
I initially predicted in India's favor, but midway through the game I changed my prediction. South Africa showed a slightly different performance at home. When India batted it felt like a complete bowling pitch. Again, when South Africa started batting, the batting performance looked like it was a batting pitch. Even if India had scored 250 runs today, India would not have won this match, South Africa would have won this match. India won the first match by 8 wickets and in the second match India lost to South Africa by 8 wickets. Both teams are tied 1-1 in the 3-match ODI 2023-2024 series. But the team that will do well and win the next match will be sure to win the series. Let's see which team can win the next match with a good performance and secure the series win.

BAN Vs NZ, Second ODI

Bangladesh's systematic top order has proven to be a failure in today's match too. The batting pitch, while Liton Das, Nazmul Hasan Shanto, and Anamul Haque Bijay, these three batsmen failed. Where these three batsmen would take Bangladesh's run score to a big stage, these three batsmen were dismissed for just 14 runs in total. Soumya Sarkar and Tawheed Hriday are trying to lengthen Bangladesh's innings. But if Bangladesh can play the entire 50 overs today, then maybe the run can become 250 runs. And if Bangladesh cannot play an innings of 50 overs, then Bangladesh's run will most likely be below 200 runs.

Unfortunately,Tawhid Hridoy run out...

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.
It was a fast pitch and all the Indian batsman struggled with the bat and the South African bowlers bowled brilliantly and then the pitch might have slowed down eventually, i did not see the entire match after India were struggling to score runs above 200 as it was a done deal to ask the Indian bowlers to defend a small total.

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

India dominated the first match but South Africa dominated today. India is going to lose today's match mainly due to poor performance of Indian batsmen. They lost the opener Gaikwad by just 4 runs. With the help of Sai Sudarsan's 62 and KL Rahul's 56, India set a target of 212 runs. Apart from these two batsmen, no other batsman in the squad can play big innings. A collection of 211 runs is not enough to win on this pitch.

South Africa's top order batsmen are playing very well. Hendricks was dismissed for 52 runs. Tony de Zorzi remains unbeaten with 102 runs. At the end of 37 overs, South Africa collected 187 runs with the loss of just one wicket. South Africa team has to collect only 25 runs in 13 overs.
The first victory for South Africa in the first match of five match series. Sai sadharsan done a great job and captain himself also but rest if the players doesn't play responsible cricket today. Rinku singh is consistent player but today he was not good with the bat. interesting to see Arshdeep batting, better than many top and middle order.. This is not the natural game of India. Every player should have to prove that he could fill the spot of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. bowling from SA side waa too better which restricted team like india on 206.. zorrzi remain not out with the magnificent match winning performance.

Indian batsmen have performed well in each of the previous matches. But the Indian batsmen's performance in today's match was very poor. Had the pitch been bowling friendly, the match would have been competitive even after a target of 212 runs. But the pitch was not bowling friendly. Even then Indian batsmen could not bat well today. Sai Sudarsan managed to collect the maximum 62 runs today. On the other hand, we have seen bad bowling from the Indian bowlers today. Even if the bowlers did well, the match was likely to be competitive. Bharti captain used 8 of his bowlers today.

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  Grin Tongue. Having said that, this defeat came because the batters looked like a club cricketer. Rutu, Tikal and Sanju are just wasting time, the first 2 will still get a long rope and rightly so because they have a talent and are new in the setup but no one is sure about Sanju.

Both Indian batsmen and bowlers performed very well in the first match. In fact, because of the good performance of the bowlers, it is possible for the batsmen to do well. South Africa was the first team to set a target of 116 runs. It was not difficult for an experienced team like India to win against such a low target. Indian batsmen's performance was not good in today's match. They gave a target of 212 runs. A target of 280+ might have made the match competitive. As the target was low, the South African batsmen also batted very responsibly today. I think South Africa will be able to win the ODI series.

South Africa will bat at a target of 212 runs if the South African batsmen can bat well then today's match will be easily won by South Africa. If the Indian team wants to win today's match, they must bowl well. Let's see how well the Indian team can bowl.
This time South Africa bowled very well and bowled out the entire Indian team in 46 overs. India made only 211 run .But this score is too low to win, South Africa has a chance to win this match very easily. Now south Africa has been playing Hendricks and  De Zorzi partnership on pitch. De Zorzi is batting very carefully and has scored 16 runs in 20 ball and Hendricks made 7 run in 20 balls .If talking about bowling side performance of south Africa player Burger and Hendricks play very well Burger took 3 wickets by giving 30 run in 10 overs Hendricks took 2 wickets by giving 34 run in 9 overs .

Both batsmen of Indian team performed very well but the latter only had more fall of wickets. Due to which, despite starting well, the Indian team got all out under the pressure of the wicket towards the last. Both Sudarshan and Rahul scored half-centuries, but the opening batsmen and subsequent batsmen did not perform well. And managed to score 211 runs in the last minute, Nandre Burger has been the best bowling performance of the South African team. He picked up three wickets in ten overs for just 30 runs. South Africa will surely win as the powerplay has yet to see the fall of any wicket.

Today match India batsman played can not very well. Because he could not increase the run and make the tough target for south Africa. Among them, some batsmen played with effort and struggle but most of the batsmen have made the target of the match by playing in a hurry. The South African bowler did well and did not allow the Indian batsmen to score too many runs. And there is a strong hope that their batsmen will play with similar hard work and struggle and win the match.South African team plays better and better than Indian team.  And the match is won. Had the Indian batsman scored 250 plus runs, they would have probably won the match.  But fate could not be with him.If India bowler control the south Africa batsman then he won the match.Otherwise, India loses this match.

In today's second match of the ODI series against South Africa, India lost all wickets in the first innings game and collected 211 runs and now are bowling in the second innings. The bowling line-up of Indian bowlers in today's match is very bad. They are yet to take any wicket of the South African team in the game of 27 overs. It is a big failure for Indian bowlers. I never imagined that India's bowling side will be so weak in today's match. On the other hand, the two openers of the South African team have been in great form in batting since the beginning. The South African team has collected 129 runs without a wicket after playing 27 overs so far. Looking at the trend of the game, it seems that the Indian team is likely to lose in today's match. I bet for India team in this match. Now if the Indian team loses this match. Then my bet today will go down the drain

Yes, India's bowling has let everyone down. Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh who had 4 wickets and 5 wickets respectively last match couldn't do much with the ball this match. Kuldeep Singh who had been very economical in the last match also couldn't stop the scoring or get multiple wickets.

But we have to give the credit where it's due. Tony de Zorzi has scored a brilliant century. Their Opening partnership led them to their comfortable victory. It is a huge improvement for their team if we look at their previous match where they were all out for only 116 runs. Last match not many of their players could score double digits but in this match their batting was good.

India's batting also disappointed everyone. 211 runs is not enough to defend. I think they got overconfident and that's what cost them this match. They need to take a lesson from it.

Today was a disappointing performance from the Indians when compared to first ODI performance. But Sudharsan and Rahul showed that it is possible to score runs with application and patience, but the rest of the team failed to follow suit. We saw an amazing bowling spell by young African bowler nandre burger. The African bowlers bowled with discipline to keep the pressure on the Indian batsmen. Batting a target of 212 runs South Africa got off to a great start  Reeza Hendricks dismissed for 52,but Tony de Zorzi's unbeaten innings of 119 saw South Africa win by eight wickets. South Africa returned to level the three-match series 1-1 and the third match will be very interesting for both the teams aiming to win the series.
In 2nd ODI south Africa won toss and bowls first India made 211 for all out in 47th overs Sudharsan and KL rahul make fifties brilliant bowling by Nandre Burger takes 30/3 wickets in 10 overs while maharaj and Hendricks took 2, 2 wickets south Africa chased this target 215/2 in 43 overs Hendricks make 52 while Tony de zorzi match winning century (119) runs help south africa to chase down the target on lost of just 2 wickets from indian side arshdeep and rinku singh could get 1, 1 wicket and easily SA won this match by 8 wickets
