I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
What a decider between England and Australia ongoing at the moment. On one hand, it looks like Australia will cruise to a series win while it looks like England can pull things back in their favor through successive wickets on the other hand.

I bet on England since the odds were extremely favorable even though it looks like they will lose this match and series. Also, why Inglis instead of Carey? Weird!

Edit: Looks like I lost my bet thanks to the annoying rain interruption. Anyway, congratulations Australia as expected.
Sad to hear you lost your bets. England would have had some chances if it hadn't rained, but the rains blew away all chances. But Australia batted brilliantly, especially early on, if Travis Head and Matthew Short had not been aggressive, the DLS system might not have led the run-rate. However, Australia eventually won the series. Best wishes to Australia for winning this very competitive series.

Most of the people here were rooting for England, and England played well.  But Australia's win was really interesting and great, although this series was very competitive between the two teams till the last moment, Australia team won the series for DLS. Anyway, both the teams in the match performed very well, but due to the rain, England's chances were further reduced. Travis Head got off to a great start, and they batted a lot early on, which led to Australia winning the series. But Australia must be congratulated that although they had a poor performance in two matches, they showed their strong performance in the last match.

Markhors (Pakistan) vs Panthers (Pakistan)
Final match between Markhors and Panthers was big surprise. Markhors who played well until then struggled under pressure. Without their captain Muhammad Rizwan their batting did not go well. They lost wickets fast. Fakhar Zaman scored 46 runs but that was not enough. Panthers easily beat Markhors low score of 126 runs winning with 5 wickets left and 18 overs remaining.
Markhors relied too heavily on Rizwan leadership. Without him, they were weak. Panthers took advantage and showed their strength.

Australia Vs England

So the day is here and England and Australia will face eachother again. They have the last match of there series and the series is at 2-2. So this is the final match which will decide that who will the series. Both teams are very strong teams. Like we saw how Australia played in the first two matches and in the last two matches England made a great comeback. So I hope England will continue this performance and win the match. But Australia will give a tight time. So let's wait for the match and let's see who will the match.
Yesterday this ODI series of 5 games were ended between Australia team and England team and 5 th last game was also played yesterday and before start of this game, this series was tied with equal wins 2-2. England performed quite well in last two game 3 rd and 4 th they beated quite poorly Australia team. But in 5 th game, Australia team bounce back in series and beated England team and won the series. Head was received player of game award because he played quite good in bowling and batting and He made 31 runs in 26 balls and in bowling, he took down 4 wickets in 6.2 overs. England set quite competitive runs 309 to Australia team and due to DLS method, Australia team chased the runs and won game by 49 runs. Short batted great in opening and he made great half century for Australia team and helped a lot to win this game. His century was wasted from England side B.Duckett and he made 107 runs in 91 balls and hitted thirteen 4s and two 6s. Congratulations Australia for playing intense series and at last you deserve win by showing brilliant effort in entire series.

Markhors (Pakistan) vs Panthers (Pakistan)

Anyone here in this thread who watched final match of Champions One-Day Cup competition which was finished yesterday among Markhors squad against Panthers squad.

If we see the stats of Markhors squad, this squad displayed strong performance in previous matches and defeated every single squad and maintained their first position on standing table. Markhors squad has begun this final match first with Batting Inning and their batters quickly lost their wickets without disturbing the bowlers of panthers squad and biggest loss of Markhors squad in final match is that Muhammad Rizwan did not participate and didn't play this final match without his great Captaincy yesterday Markhor squad faced very bad defeat with low quality scores in first inning. From Markhors squad side no one was able to play long innings except Fakhar Zaman he expressed some support by managing 46 scores. 126 scores was so simple to achieve and Panthers squad simply achieved it with no burden of any high scores and no burden of balls and wickets. With loss of 5 wickets and playing 18 overs all scores of Markhors squad were achieved and Panthers squad emerged victory.

England team managed to score 309 runs in the first innings against Australia which resulted in a target of 310 runs for Australia. Australia knew in advance that there was a possibility of rain on the field so they had to put up a score in the first 20 overs that would keep them ahead of England if the match was abandoned due to rain. 

Australia managed to perform exactly as they planned against England. Australia managed to score 162 runs against England in the first 20 overs with eight wickets in hand and when it rained at the end of the 20 overs and there was no sign of the rain stopping, the umpire decided the result of the match in favor of Australia. That is, Australia won the last t20 match against England by 49 runs to defeat England by 3-2 in the series

This is getting ridiculous, ICC should definitely do something about this rain situation. Big and important matches are getting decided by the DLS method. This is a method which I think is not the best suited in this day and age. I think it is better to just keep a reserved date if there is rain. But I guess when one innings has already been played, you cannot do much. Just think about it. Chasing 310 in 50 overs with 10 wickets in hand is a lot harder compared to chasing 117 in 20 overs with 10 wickets in hand.
Yes, You are right there is alot of improvement is needed in DLS method because its give more benefits to that is chasing the target. Australia won the series by winning the final match of series. I think it's bad luck for England because England scored a huge total 300 plus runs on board. Ben Duckett batting performance is amazing scored a well deserved century. If rain didn't stop play then England have enough chances to win match because a target of 300 plus runs is not easy for chasing any team. The Player of The Match is Travis Head for his all round batting and bowling performance. in bowling he picked 4 important wickets by just giving 28 runs while in batting Travis head scored 31 runs.

Sorry for your loss but I don't think it wouldn't also right that blaming the rain only for the lost in this match because the way England recover in the third match the same way Australian team was having to recover this match after losing two matches. I said this because the way Australian batter are performing in this match if they can continue till to the 50over then their run could be around 400 if they batted first. So in today's match Australia make the performance that they will be able to beat even the target on 400. Anyway good enjoyable seires thank to both team players.
Yes Rain affected match but it is not only reason Australia lost. England came back strongly in third match and Australia could have done same. Yesterday Australia batting was great and exactly they could have scored around 400 runs if they had played full 50 overs. They showed they could catch up to big score.
Both teams played well in this exciting series. Australia never gave up and England kept fighting. Even with rain series showed excellent cricket skills and fans should praise players hard work.

I guess I am just a little annoyed to see that a match which is decider is being played in this way. I don’t know if other people will agree but I definitely think that the DLS method takes away the competitive integrity from certain matches.

DLS method is not new to cricket and teams know very well about it. The matches that are affected by rain are usually decided by the DLS method and both the teams playing know about it and they prepare the game accordingly. Yes, one team do get an advantage due to DLS while other team is at a disadvantage but we cannot say that the match results based on DLS are not fair. Also, not every match can have a reserve day and we should consider DLS as a part of cricket rules for deciding the games that do not get enough time to play the full 50 (for ODI) or 20 overs (for T20).

Definitely they have the chances. Because there is a big difference between the full match and DLS method. There should not be the rain. Well that is the weather so we should not say anything.
Well I think if this match will be played till end and there was no rain so England could make us surprise with their bowling. But unfortunately they couldn't.
By the way they set a big target for Australia team and I was expecting a win by England. Both teams are strong but my best wishes was with England because they make a great comeback in the last two matches. I still appreciate the England team but Congratulate to Australia on their win.
My thoughts on this match were the other way around, I didn't think England would have won this match if it hadn't rained. It is true that England batted first and scored a good number of runs, but Australia scored very quickly from the start, which increased their chances of victory very quickly. Maybe it's the right revenge for Australia as they won the first two matches and then lost the next two matches. But this match was unfortunate for England as they were defeated by Duckworth lewis stern (DLS) method due to rain.
By the rain interruption there is nothing to do but accept the fate. Throughout the year, it rains somewhere due to which cricket also faces obstacles there. But as no one can cope with nature, no matter how good the match, there is nothing to do. In Australia and England series England could not save the end of the series at their own venue in England. Because of rain, the two teams were tied in the T20 series and the possibility arose again that if the last match was not in a position to play 20 overs, the result would have been the same. Here Australia can be said to be lucky because they won the toss and decided to field and play accordingly.

This is possible, but there is also the possibility that Australia would collapse midway thanks to some smart bowling by England due to which the match could have gone right down to the wire.

England would have had some chances if it hadn't rained, but the rains blew away all chances. But Australia batted brilliantly, especially early on, if Travis Head and Matthew Short had not been aggressive, the DLS system might not have led the run-rate.
Yeah. Short got motivated by Head's aggressive batting thanks to which they ended up giving an epic start to their chase which eventually helped them win via DLS.

In the fifth match, England were not as strong in the bowling as they were in the batting which resulted in the Australia batsmen batting comfortably. Surprisingly though, it was true that England had no experienced fast bowlers in the fifth match, they benched Jofra Archer.

I bet on England since the odds were extremely favorable even though it looks like they will lose this match and series. Also, why Inglis instead of Carey? Weird!

The Australian team gave a befitting reply as they lost the next two matches in a row and gave their best performance in today's match.  However, due to the DLS system, the Australian team managed to win, but if the whole match performance, the Australian team would have been more likely to lose. This was the weakest point of the Australian team as two of the attacking batsmen of the Australian team got out after collecting few runs.

Australia are desperate to win today's match and Australia are trying to do as well as they need to do. At the end of 11 overs, they lost one wicket and collected 111 runs, which means that if we consider the overall statistics of the match, Australia is ahead in economic run rate so far. If Australia can maintain this run rate then there is a high chance of Australia winning today's match. But if England can make a miracle and fall consecutive wickets, then maybe something positive can come even for England.
The ‍spectators have different perspective in this match but that didn't happen. After the draw of the last T20 series, perhaps many thought that the 5-match series would definitely be enjoyable but that too was not possible due to rain. Although Australia easily win today's match but they had to win on DLS method. It would be better if there was a chance to watch the entire 50 overs.

England got off to a good start when Australia won the toss and elected to bowl. The opening batsmen scored well today. But some batsmen did not do well at all. In order to win against Australia, the batsmen have to give big targets as well as the bowlers have to spread their influence. Only then it is possible to win against Australia. Such was the picture in which England won two matches. All in all, the series has been competitive.
I had a lot of hope in this match that Australia will win the match and also the series.  Although the England batsmen gave a tough and big target like 4 matches, but due to DLS, Australia will win the match.  Had it not been for that, the pace and overs with which Australia were playing could have won the match.  But they were lucky to win the match before the game was over.  I said that England cannot play against Australia.  Congratulations to Australia for this win and keep up the good work and keep winning matches.  Although England's performance was not bad but very good, but it was not their luck to win that's why they could not win the match.  Even if the match had continued, according to this calculation, England's bowlers could not have done anything.  As Australia had 29 overs to spare and needed 144 runs, they could meet the target.  I reckon the Aussie bowlers have been doing poorly in the last few matches, if they had stopped runs and taken wickets in the 4th match they would have won the series long ago.

It's quite important match for both team because both team has 2-2 victory and that the deciding one whome Gona be series winner. England after toss got opportunity to bat first and through phenomenal innings of duckett alongside with thier captain and consistent performer harry brook they scored more than 300 which indicates they are at strong position to dominate that match but surprisingly Australian scored more than half of total target at very early overs despite lose some of thier important top order batters but still they continue thier dedication and finally after rain intruption they got announced as not only winner of last and fifth match but the series too as they were ahead according to DLS mode so they won by 49. Hope that interesting matches will help them to make sure their preparing almost completed for champions trophy

Unlike previous matches, today Australian team played an agressive innings and due to this they were in the winning position throughout the match. Since England team had scored high, the only option for the Australian team was to go fast throughout the innings. The good luck with the Australia team was that they did not lose wickets and this helped them go with the fast run rate throughout the match.

The lost thier first wicket at 78 runs when Travis Head was out and the second wicket at 118 runs when they lost Matthew Short. However they did not slow down the scoring rate and won this rain interrupted final by the DLS method.

Today's match is going to be really interesting and this match is very big both teams are strong enough it will be very difficult to predict who will win here today. We have seen four matches played so far where the series result is tied 2/2 with both teams winning two matches each. Today the Australia team has won the toss and decided to bowl. At the moment, England is batting. England will try to play better today. We have seen two great matches for England team Harry Brook if he plays amazingly today there is definitely a chance for England to go, but Australia team will not give up so easily but today will be a really interesting game between the two teams.

I guess that it was the DLS method that helped the Australian team win this final match and with that they win the series too. Since Australia had lost only two wickets, the DLS method declared them the winners. If they had lost a few more wickets or the match the not interepputed, i think the England team still had the chance.



In this match, too, Travis Head was the player of the match. However today it was not because of his batting but because he bowled four English batsmen. He is also the man of the series as he made 248 runs and took 6 wickets in the series (four of them in this last match)  Smiley
