Travis freaking Head has been named the player of the month by ICC for Nov 2023 and he truly deserves the honor for his epic performances throughout the recently concluded ODI World Cup.

He beat Maxwell and Shami to claim the honor and it seems that Warner was the last Australian to claim it way back in 2021.

Two matches are in progress in Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup. In Group B, Japan is batting after they loss the toss and they have another disappointing batting. Japanese team are 89/7 in 43 overs and looks like they will be able to score 100 runs this time. In there last game they were all out on just 75 runs. Seeing performance of Japanese team its evident that there is not much scope of cricket in Japan. Meanwhile its a game where Bangladeshi bowlers can improve there stats.
In previous match of Japanese,Japanese played very poor. In my opinion, they are not interested in playing cricket and they are focused on only technology but they should also focus on cricket because cricket changes the World. No player of Japan is like U19 cricket player. They look like a club player and they have low confidence and did not play openly. Japan U19 cricket team was all team out by making only 99 and they gave a target of only 100 runs and Bangladeshi U19 cricket team Chased the target in 11.2 overs by falling only 1 wicket. Bangladeshi U19 cricket team played very well . Ashiqur Rehman was a top scorer of the match and he made excellent 55 runs in just 45 balls and Jishan Alam also played very well and he performed brilliant 29 runs in just 16 balls. Bangladeshi U19 cricket team is improving their performance.

Japan is already all out for 99. Right now the innings break is going on. I am pretty sure that Bangladesh is going to be able to score this pretty easily. The target is definitely not big for Bangladesh under 19. I believe Bangladesh is going to be able to score this in no time. I will also not be surprised if Bangladesh somehow is able to win without closing a single wicket.
Bangladesh already won the match losing 1 wicket. I appreciate that 99 runs are not a big fate for Bangladesh Team. Ashiqur Rahman Shibli played well and got his fifty with 8 fours. His total runs is 55 from 45 balls. We can see the strict rate is 122.22. It's well performed U19. Best of luck U19 Bangladesh Cricket Team.

But just because of this performance, I would not say that Japan does not have any chance in cricket. They will just have to improve and be determined to improve quickly.

Not really surprised because Japan is not one of the strongest teams from this region. Bangladesh are now 71/0 after 7.4 and looks like they will win within the first 10 overs. Even then, Japan should be proud of the fact that they managed to qualify ahead of strong teams such as Singapore, Malaysia, Oman, Hong Kong and Kuwait, by finishing within the top-3 of 2023 ACC Men's Under-19 Premier Cup.

After watching the stats of Pakistan U19 team, I was thinking that U19 team is better than the International team. Pakistan U19 team played two of the matches and won both of the matches. In the first match they played with Nepal and they out the whole team of Nepal at 152 runs. And they chased the target with in 27 overs. That was amazing.
The second match was with India and India made 259 runs and lost 9 wickets. But if you will see the Pakistan so they only lost 2 wickets and chased the target in 47 overs. In this match I really appreciate the performance of the Azan Awais who made century and remained not out. After that Saad Baig and Shahzaib Khan also played well. And in bowling we can see Mohammad Zeeshan was great who out 4 players of Indian team. Congratulations to Pakistan.

Historically, Pakistan has performed quite well at the U-19 level. And a big reason for this is the presence of large number of teenagers in the first class system of Pakistan. If you check county cricket in England or the Sheffield Shield of Australia, you will not find many teenage players. But that is not the case in Pakistan, as they have a good cricket structure at the colleges and schools. Players progress from schools and colleges to first-class teams, unlike the case in England and Australia where the players for first class teams are mostly sourced from feeder clubs.

Pakistan has played some good cricketing hits, also they were at their best. Azan played a good innings and that will also be remarkable innings of the Azan for him and also for the Pakistan Team.
Pakistan in these matches of the U19 plays almost outclass and they have clarified that they have the ability and the spirit of winning the match at every stage as which they have been shown us today and they can also have great bowling attack.

260 was not bad target, but these youths are lacking some quality which is also important because they are coming from good roots, and they need to give their best which is important in these events, but sadly bowling were really poor, and they were completely unable to have something positive which surely helps Pakistani batsmen to settle and having easy runs specially Azan was impressive as he completes his century and Saad captain also give him good support for the win cause.
After lost of first wicket we have strong match winning partnership between Shahzaib and Azan which change the match momentum and bring Pakistan in better position and after lost of Shahzaib we have another good partnership which helps to end the match on high note for the Pakistan.

India U19 bowlers lacked dominance due to which Pakistan U19 won the match losing only 2 wickets. For India it is not only the bowlers who are responsible, but also the batsmen who are expected to perform better. India U19's opening batsman and total only 4 batsmen in the team could have added runs, if there were more contributors they could do better. But in this perspective the Pakistan U19 team definitely deserves credit, they played brilliantly. They performed well in both bowling and batting aspects and won by a big margin. Pakistan's Azan Awais is the only one from both teams to score a century in this match. I think his performance will surely come to the attention of the cricket board.

In the second match, Nepal is in a very strong position against Afghanistan. Nepal won the toss and asked Afghanistan to bat first. They are 44/3 after 9 overs, with Gulsan Jha and Hemant Dhami among the wickets. The first match didn't went well for Nepal. So this is an opportunity for them to make a comeback in this tournament.
Afghanistan team can easily win this match against Nepal because as you all know this is an impossible thing that Nepal can win against Afghanistan because Afghanistan is a huge team even most biggest countries of cricket fear playing against Afghanistan because their team is too strong and they can do anything and most of the time, their people can also do something, means in the Asia Cup of 2022, when Pakistan vs Afghanistan played a match and Pakistan won that match so Afghani crowd has been angry and because of their anger they almost break all seats of Dubai stadium so Dubai cancelled their visa and that's why those people can never come again in Dubai. Anyway, let's see what happens in today's match.

England's performance in the pre-World Cup series, though somewhat erratic, was not so poor. But England's performance in the World Cup is below average. England team played very badly. However, since the performance of West Indies is not good, I thought that England will win the series against West Indies. But England failed to win the series against West Indies. England cannot take any home advantage. It is difficult to say where the problem lies with this team. Because every player in the squad is very talented. Yet every player's performance is erratic.
English golden era with white-ball is already ended, and now they need new blood which bring some better technique and quality for bringing them to the top again after worst ever end of world cup campaign now their first series is also ended disappointed which is surely poor for them even West Indies is also far behind from quality but at home they have done good performance and having win in this series which will bring some confidence into their players for the future as well.In the last game, the start was really poor as England lost their top five wickets cheaply and then some good work by middle order which bring them to good point, but their bowlers were not able to give them any positive response and at the end lost the match and series.

Rain caused some confusion in the final match of the West Indies vs England ODI series. With the rain hitting this match, I thought maybe the match would be called off and the points would be shared between the two teams. But by God's grace we were able to enjoy the match even though it was a little late. After the rain stopped, the second innings was reduced to 34 overs due to the DLS system decided by the two umpires as the pitch was not fit for full play. And the West Indies team was given a target of 188 runs. West Indies went into bat in the second innings and played 31.4 overs to meet the target of exchange of 6 wickets. West Indies won by 4 wickets against England in the last match of this ODI series.
I think, in this last match of ODI series, rain brought misery for England team. As England team lost this match against West Indies team, England supporters gamblers had to shell out a huge amount of money. This is really unfortunate for England supporters gamblers
In 3rd ODI 40 overs match have been played due to rain West indies won toss and bowl first England made 206/9 in 40 overs Duckett 73 runs and livingstone 45 runs help England to set a targer of 207 runs. brilliant spell by Matthew Forde takes 29/3 wickets in 8 overs. The target for windies 188 in 34 overs(DLS method). Keacy Carty made fifty while Romario Shepherd 41 runs on 28 balls with 3 sixes chased down the target 191/6 in 32th overs while will jacks takes 22/3 wickets in 7 overs West indies won match by 4 wickets and also won this series by 2-1. This is great effort by windies team to beat 2019 World champions and west indies not played ODI world cup 2023 and not qualify for icc champion trophy 2025 in pakistan I think, in this last match of ODI series, rain brought misery for England team. As England team lost this match against West Indies team, England supporters gamblers had to shell out a huge amount of money. This is really unfortunate for England supporters gamblers

Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup arranging a pretty tournament. 5th Match, Group A, ICCA Dubai, December 10, 2023. Pakistan U19 won the toss and chose to field first. Now the Indian U19 score is (21.5/50 over) 80/2. It's a very poor score for Indian U19. Adarsh Singh is still on the pitch. His score is 28 from 52 balls. If he saty more than 15 overs then India reach the score is 300 runs. Best wishes for India.
The match of Pakistan vs India in U19 was started a long time ago, and almost one inning was near to end, Pakistan U19 team won the toss and chose to bowl first which was a good decision because if they knew how we should needed so they have, means if they know how they should maintain run rate so they play like that with a different strategy, and the second reason that this decision is good by Pakistani U19 team captain is that as you in previous match of Pakistan bowling attack is very good, they can took wicket of Indian batters again and again.. So let's see who will win this match.

A dominating performance thus far from the Pakistan U-19 team against India U-19. India posted a good total. Sachin Dhas batted beautifully till the end, giving the Indian team a respectable target to defend. Zeeshan was the pick of the bowler from Pakistan; he took 4 wickets. In response, Pakistan U-19 batters remain calm and composed. A brilliant batting display from Azan and Shahzaib brings Pakistan to a touching distance from the victory. Azan scored a hundred in this game. Pakistan needs only 34 runs in 7 overs to win the match.
Pakistan team won the match with beauty, The Pakistan team played their best, and they did very well in all the types that exist in cricket means they played well in bowling, fielding, and batting. Pakistan did wonderful batting.
Anyway, if we talk about the Pakistani batting lineup so sadly we again can't see Shumyl Hussain to bat because he again lost his wicket too early in today's match against India and yesterday against Nepal, but Pakistan U19 don't feel aspects of his because other batsmen play so good that so they don't feel his bad form and has no major impact on the match. Let's see if will we see his batting against Afghanistan.
Pakistan was able to win this match against Indian under-19 team pretty easily in the end. The performance from the top order of Pakistan under 19 was really good. Except for Shamyl Hussain. He got out quickly in this match. But the other top-order players performed really well. Not for a moment it felt like Pakistan under 19 is not in control.
In the other match, Afghanistan was able to win against Nepal as expected. I did not expect much from Nepal against Afghanistan. And it was also quite an easy win for Afghanistan in the end.

With this win Pakistan U19 is now on top of group A. Today's game is all about Pakistan batting supremacy after India posed a decent total of 260 runs. Azan Awais 105(130) along with Shahzaib Khan and Saad Baig completely destroyed Indian bowling today.
I would say both India and Pakistan must be in separate groups as they are equally strong teams in this contest. SL and Bangladesh should also be separate groups. Anyways its good to see Japan also participating in cricketing event and AFAIK its the first time Japan has participated in Asia cup.
