In 2nd ODI Australia posted 392 In loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs vs South Africa. Australia played very well especially David Warner scored a century of 106 runs in 93 balls, Marnus Labuschagne also played and brilliantly knocked 124 runs unbeaten in just 99 balls and helped his team to post a high total of 392 runs for South Africa. South Africa had poor bowling in this match except Tabraiz Shamsi who picked 4 important wickets of Australia by just giving 61 runs in 10 overs. I think South Africa lost this match by a huge margin the chance of South Africa winning this match is very low.

Srilanka is looking strong at the moment in the match against Bangladesh and most probably they will win this match. That will keep Bangladesh out of the finals.
Positive points for Bangladesh in today's match were to win but that chance is slowly diminishing due to Bangladesh's top order batsmen not performing well. But if Bangladesh can't win today's low scoring target of 258 runs then what else can I expect as a supporter for Bangladesh. Bangladesh started the batting well in the beginning but since the dismissal of Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das, Bangladesh have been under great pressure. Now Tawheed Hriday and Bangladesh's most reliable batsman Mushfiqur Rahim are on the wicket. If these two can build a long partnership for Bangladesh then Bangladesh can win today's match.

Bangladesh come out to bat and they have already lost two wickets, it is difficult to say how well the Bangladesh batsmen will bat today to reach the target given by Sri Lanka. Bangladesh has already lost two wickets for which Bangladesh is currently under pressure. Sri Lankan bowler Dasun Shanaka's bowling is excellent due to which he has already taken two wickets. The run rate of Bangladesh has decreased due to the dismissal of two Bangladeshi batsmen, Mohammad Naim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. But right now Bangladesh batsman Liton Das and Shakib Al Hasan are at the crease, if they can bat well then they can reach the goal of victory. Of course, it is important for Bangladesh to win today's match against Sri Lanka. If Bangladesh cannot win today's match, then they will definitely be eliminated from the Asia Cup. According to that today Bangladesh need to win the match against Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka could not collect much runs so Bangladesh can definitely win if they try.
Bangladesh lost 4 wickets and score total  of 85 runs in 21 overs. the best batsman Shakib al hasan, Liton Das got out quickly. Shakib Al Hasan score only 3 run it is really funny. Liton Das score only 15. Bangladesh is now weakened and today's match is also going to loss Bangladesh. And if they lose today's match, they won't need to play against India. Many may have expected a lot from Bangladesh but they lost all the matches very badly. It is shameful for Bangladesh team also Bangladesh
Bangladesh will not be able to do better in this year's Asia Cup, so we should not talk about them anymore.  Bangladesh game now looks boring. how the good players of the Bangladesh team get out so quickly that their supporters expect better things from them. Such worst game of Bangladesh is seen sometimes.  Many times they are seen playing violently like tigers. But they cannot maintain good performance for long

The selling point for the Asia Cup is the matches between India and Pakistan and therefore, they have made decisions, only for this match.
Well, to be honest, that's the reason why the Asia Cup exists atm. However, it seems to have turned into a bilateral series between India and Pakistan, with a guaranteed minimum of two matches and possibly a final as well. The group system also gives us an idea of how broadcasters are dictating their terms, but we can't really blame them either since they are paying millions of dollars for the rights.


Srilanka is looking strong at the moment in the match against Bangladesh and most probably they will win this match. That will keep Bangladesh out of the finals.

If somehow Srilanka can win one of the matches they played against Pakistan or India and one or more matches may end up in a draw because of the rain, Srilanka can still reach the finals destroying this bilateral series dream final between India and Pakistan  Wink

As I posted Earlier, The opening batter of Bangladesh Mohammad Naim played a Match eating performance. He scored a massive 21 runs from 46 balls and did not manage to continue his innings. He is far ahead of Afif and Shahim Patwary at this moment. He is going to get the General position of Bangladesh Lords association and of course he is going to play against India as well.

If you talk about the match situation. This is does not look good at all for Bangladesh. They lose the first four wickets and did not manage to score hundred runs yet. Another batting collapse for Bangladesh and I am not surprised at all.

Glad to see that Australia finally gave a place in the team for Marnus Labuschagne in the ODI team and he scored another match changing century along with David Warner and a century from Warner proved that he will be a fixture till the World Cup. South African bowlers we taken apart as the target for them is 392 and this is going to be another huge loss for them before the World Cup.

Bangladesh Opener Mohammad Naim is trying to play a Test Match because he thinks about his career. There is no need to think about the team yet Bangladeshi selectors talk about Mahmudullah Riyad's strike rate. This guy is already competing for the general position of Bangladesh Lords association and Bangladeshi Captain decided to give him another chance to prove himself. This guy playing with a incredible strike rate of  52.63 at this moment. He played a superb innings of 20 runs from 38 balls so far. I would like to see him score 40 runs from the next 100 balls and he will be safe for another ten matches! Is this guy become an auto choice?

Sri Lanka scored 131 runs in 30 overs but they still have plenty of wickets left. So they still have a chance to collect high runs and give Bangladesh a big run target. Bangladesh's bowling performance is not bad but they are not able to take wickets. If they fail to take wickets, no matter how well they bowl, a big run target will be waiting for Bangladesh at the last moment. So today is going to be a tough game for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka. as Sri Lanka still have 7 wickets left they might be able to target 250+ runs. as a Bengali, it is very sad to see Bangladesh lose like this

SL has lost 4 wickets and scored 150 runs after 34 runs. If Bangladesh can get few more wickets then there is a chance that they may restrict SL to 250 or less. At the moment Bangladesh focus must be to restrict SL to lowest possible target. If SL can give a target of over 250 runs then it won't be easy to chase against strong SL bowling lineup.
Sirlanka set a target of 158 runs for Bangladesh in must win match. Sirlanka batsman struggled to score runs and regular wicket has fallen but Sadeera Samarawickrama inning helped Sirlanka post a decent total. Sadeera Samarawickrama played an amazing inning of 93 runs in just 72 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixs. Bangladesh bowler bowled well and put srilanka batsmen under pressure Taskin Ahmed picked 3 wickets and Shoriful Islam picked 2 wickets by just giving 48 runs in 8 overs. Hasan Mahmud also picked up 3 early wickets and restricted Sirlanka to scoring under 260 runs. I think 258 runs total is chaseable on this pitch if Bangladesh didn't lose early wickets.

Sadeera played sensationally to guide Sri Lanka to a total of 257. Although Bangladesh bowled well, Sri Lanka managed to score 20-25 runs more due to dropped catches and fielding lapses. Bangladesh struggled to contain the runs in the slog overs, which allowed Sri Lanka to set a good target. Restricting them to under 240 would have been better for their chasing prospects, but now Bangladesh will need responsible batting to chase down this score successfully.

Australian batsmen are in great batting form in Australia vs South Africa second ODI match. Australia's batsmen's style of play today is excellent due to which they still score good runs with enough wickets in hand. Australia's batsmen batted brilliantly today which is why they scored so many runs especially in the first over David Warner batted brilliantly and scored a century. David Warner's batting performance was excellent and he scored 106 runs off 93 balls before he was dismissed for Australia. Another batsman at the crease at the moment whose batting performance has been excellent and he has already scored a century is Marnus Labuschagne, scoring 109 runs off 90 balls which was truly remarkable. If Australia can keep playing like this till the end of the game today, there will definitely be a chance of 400 runs. Australia can be expected to win the second match against South Africa in the same way as their first match.

Have to give the credit to Marnus Labuschagne. This guy entered into Test cricket as a concussion replacement for Smith and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

In the ODI, he didn't fire up much and due to this reason he wasn't regular in the ODI setup but here he comes again as a concussion substitute and won the last match and today also proving his worth.

The partnership between David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne has so far added 138 runs at 7.5 runs per over. Anrich Nortje went for almost 12 per over. Don't know what is going on with the South African bowlers. Quality pacers like Nortje and Rabada are getting hammered all around the park. And also don't forget the fact that this is a home series for South Africa. Looking at the form of the Australian batsmen, I would say that they will be the favorites to lift the trophy during ODI World Cup in 2023, followed at some distance by Pakistan.
It's a white ball cricket and the deck is flat so i won't blame bowlers much.

We can only blame them for, not balling enough hard length balls to Aussie but it happens in white ball cricket. The pitch does look a bit favorable to spinners but again you need quality spin bowlers for some success. For me, England and Australia are fav because they have almost all the ingredients and their batting looks scary.

At the moment Bangladesh focus must be to restrict SL to lowest possible target. If SL can give a target of over 250 runs then it won't be easy to chase against strong SL bowling lineup.

Sri Lanka may end up with a total of 250-260. That should be enough to get full points from this match. Bangladeshi batting attack is looking very brittle, and Sri Lankan bowlers are in good form. So the probability is that Sri Lanka will win this one. Sadeera Samarawickrama is batting beautifully at this point, but the problem for Sri Lanka is that tailenders are at the other end. If Bangladesh can keep Sadeera out of strike, then they can restrict Sri Lanka to a smaller total and then build up some pressure on them. Anyway, I am just glad that there have been no rain interruptions till now.

Sadeera Samarawickrama alone scored 93 runs out of 257 runs. 258 Is not a huge target and not a small target either. The run rate is 5.14, which is challenging I am surprised to see that Bangladesh did not give a chance to their wicketkeeper batter Anamul Haque Bijoy in this match as well. Opener Mohammad Naim failed in the last three ODIs, and yet he is getting another chance here. They take spinner Nasum Ahmed in this match considering the pitch will be spin-friendly. The spinners were economical but all the wickets were taken by the pace unit. The Pace bowling revolution started by their pace bowling coach Alan Donald.
Solid runs from Sadeera helped Sri Lanka team to be score 257 runs. Bangladesh team have good batting order, and making good partnership at the beginning will increase pressure on the Sri Lanka bowlers. This could ease Bangladesh to reach the target. If Najmul Hossain Shanto have been in the squad, it could've been an added support to the Bangladesh batting line-up. Lets see how Bangladesh team battles against Sri Lanka.

Shakib Al Hasan's team lost to Pakistan by 7 wickets and is a bit behind in the final fight. However, in the fight to survive in the finals in Colombo and Premadasa Stadium, the Tigers held the host Sri Lanka very firmly. The innings of the Lankans stopped before 260 runs in the face of the cannon of the red-green bowlers. Although the Lankans had a great start in this match of Bachamara. Dasun Shanaka's team was wicketless till five overs of the match. However, Hasan Mahmud gave Bangladesh the first break-through in the sixth over. By that time Sri Lanka had picked up 34 runs. After that, the Lankans were gradually settling down at the crease. In 25 overs, the Lankans scored 113 runs for two wickets. But before that, Sri Lanka was in control of the match. Samarawickrama pulled Sri Lanka who stumbled at the end. His impeccable innings of 93 runs, at the end of the scheduled 50 overs, the collection of the Lankans stands at 257 runs for 9 wickets.

Sri Lanka lost 9 wickets in the first innings against Bangladesh and managed to score 257 runs in the allotted fifty overs. It must be said that Sri Lanka scored more runs in the second match against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup than Bangladesh scored in the first match.

I don't trust the batting line-up of Bangladesh, they can be defeated by 257 runs. Sri Lanka will definitely want to bowl under control in this match. If wickets can fall at regular intervals along with controlled bowling then it will not be too difficult for Sri Lanka to win this match. 

Three spinners of Bangladesh bowled in today's match but none of the spinners could take a wicket today. 8 out of nine wickets were taken by fast bowlers. In the first match against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka's spinners changed the course of the match a lot. Since Sri Lanka has relied heavily on spinners even today, Bangladesh can take some advantage in this regard.
