SL Vs NZ , 3rd ODI

The third ODI match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand is being played where New Zealand have won the first two matches to seal the series win. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat and till the last update they are still 36 runs after seven overs. But if Sri Lanka lose in today's match then they will be ashamed of being whitewashed and from that shame today's match will be for now Sri Lanka will want to win and save themselves from whitewash.

Sri Lankan current run rate is 5.35. Today Sri Lankan batting hasn't been bad. Their opening couple starting this match fairly. Pathum Nissanka (66), Kusal Mendis (54), and Kamindu Mendis (46), playing well in today's match. 237/5 from 44 overs is not bad. Yes, there 6 over remaining, In these 6 overs Sri Lanka will collect 80+ runs. I think Sri Lanka gives a stranded rus Target to New Zealand.

Match already been started and Ireland women team took the first turn in batting and they made 238 runs in 50 overs and they lost 7 wickets. If you ask me so I think this is a good target which Ireland women team has give to Indian women team. Because Women teams mostly make near to 200 runs in ODI. By the way at this time match is on inning break and soon will be started again and Indian women team will show their power and I think they will do better. So let's wait for Indian women team batting and let's see how they will play.

As expected indian women side divert results In thier favor no matter how big or tough Target has been scored by thier opponent, when it come to play at indian ground thier player will properly utilized that home ground opportunity and will snitch every crucial victory form thier opponent. Anyway looking to scoreboard Ireland combinely scored 238 in rest of overs while batting first and it was look like they has scored enough to defend, but the way indian opener start his innings was majestic because here momentum got shifted toward them and huge pressure were execute on Irish side, and thus through vital contribution of both oppeners and some middle order player they successfully conquer first match of the series.

Ireland women's team is definitely not stronger than India women's team. That's why it is natural for India to have more possibility of winning. But when Ireland women's team gave a target of 238 runs, there was some chance of winning there, but when Indian batsmen started playing their innings, it seemed that Ireland's collection was low. One thing we should always remember in cricket is that if you cannot do well in batting, you have to make an impact at the bowling site. But when no possibility can be found at any site, then that team is sure to lose. India's performance at India's home ground is very good, so it is natural for Ireland to have a little chance of winning in any match.

By the way at this time match is on inning break and soon will be started again and Indian women team will show their power and I think they will do better. So let's wait for Indian women team batting and let's see how they will play.

Ireland gave a target of 238 runs only because of there skipper Gaby Lewis fantastic knock of 92 runs along with runs scored by batters that came in the last. Apart from Gaby Lewis, no other batter from top order was able to make it to double figure. For team like India 238 was not a big target and was easily chased in 35th over. India women team lost only 4 wicket in that run chase. Two more ODIs still to be played in this series and Ireland need to work hard to win later matches against mighty Indians women team.

Ireland Women won the toss and elected to bat first. Leah Paul and Gaby Lewis batted responsibly for the team after losing the opening wicket. Gaby Lewis was out with 92 runs off 129 balls. Leah Paul was out with 59 runs off 73 balls. The batsmen of the Indian women's team batted very responsibly against the target of 238 runs given by the Ireland women's team. India Women's batting did not have much problem to win India Women's team easily won against Ireland Women. India women's team lost just four wickets to win against Ireland India women's team won by six wickets against Ireland women's team. Undoubtedly India women's team is stronger than Ireland women's team which is why Ireland women's team has performed fairly well in the first round of India women's.

This decision was right by him, but due to his weakness, he lost the match. If it was strong like India women, it could have performed well in the match. But all their batsmen had given a good target which was 238. If it had played a little bit better, it would not have mattered because India women's batsmen have achieved this target in 35 overs, so their His bowling should have been good, but he managed to take only 4 wickets. Had their bowling been successful, their bowlers would have stopped runs and taken wickets to win this match against India Women. But in this series, Ireland women have faced defeat in the first match which is their weakness, they should play with full effort and preparation for the next match which will give them good performance in the next matches can win this match too.

The Indian Women vs Ireland Women match will start within 3 hours. The summary of the match is a 76% winning score for the Indian women and a 24% winning score for Ireland Women about 860 votes. The first ODI will be held at Rajkot. For India's batting top performer Smriti Mandhana, 10 matches 465 runs and her stricker rate is 91.35. Also, Jemimah Rodrigues's 10 matches had 287 runs with 94.09 stricker rates that not bad for her. And we can't ignore Deepti Sharma whose 9 matches are 19 wickets and Economic is 4.46 that's amazing for her ratings—best of luck Indian Women's Cricket team.

Indian women is strongest team after Australia women in ODI format. in first match of series Indian women beat Ireland women by 6 wickets. indian women team chase down 241 runs target in a loss of just 4 wickets in just 35th iver of the match. from Ireland women Aimee Maguire picked 3 important wickets by just giving 57 runs but other bowlers didn't bowl well and Indian women team easily chase the total. The Man of the Match is Pratika Rawal for his outstanding all round performance in batting they scored 89 runs from 96 balls, unfortunately missed his well deserved century by 11 runs short but his performance ensure team victory over Ireland women and lead the series with 1-0.

Yes, India Women's team is strong after Australia, the great game they saw today was very interesting. In today's match, India Women's team won by a huge margin of 6 wickets and went ahead in the series. Ireland scored only 238 runs, although it was a very small target for India Women's team, for which India Women succeeded in fulfilling this target very easily. Yes, the batsmen in India did a great job of bowling and batting, due to which they were able to achieve it very easily in today's match. I think that since they are currently ahead in the series results, India Women's team will play better in the next matches, and India Women's team is the favorite to win all three matches of the series.

Ireland -W team showed poor effort in start of series of 1 st game of ODI series with India -W team. Ireland -W chose wrong decision when they won toss and they selected bat first and gave a bowling opportunity to Indian-W team. Ireland -W team made 238 runs target in 50 overs by 7 wickets and this was the normal target. Indian-W team chased down target runs out easily in 34.3 overs. Opening of India -W batting was outstanding and Smirti scored 41 runs in 29 balls and hitted six 4s and one 6s. Pratika also made good pressure in line of batting and he made 89 runs in 96 balls and hitted ten 4s and one 6s. Priya bowled very well and she took down 2 wickets in 9 overs and gave 56 runs. Congratulations India -W team win game.

India Women's Team vs Ireland Women's Team.
India Women's Team's six-wicket "win" in today's first ODI match is very happy for me. Because I had bet on India Women's Team in today's match. In this match, Ireland Women's Team batted first and scored 238 runs in the full fifty overs. 238 runs was not enough for Ireland Women's Team to win the match against India. The performance shown by India Women's Team players in today's first ODI match shows that Ireland Women's Team players will have to create the ability to score 300+ runs to win the match against India Women's Team. Now I think if Ireland Women's Team can create the ability to score 300+ runs in the next matches, then maybe Ireland can hope to win the upcoming matches of this series.

Quarter-finals for the Vijay Hazare Trophy will start today, and will get completed by Sunday. The teams participating in this round are:

QF3: Maharashtra vs Punjab
QF4: Karnataka vs Baroda
QF1: Gujarat vs Haryana
QF2: Vidarbha vs Rajasthan

Out of these 8 teams, I would say that Vidarbha has the maximum chances of lifting the trophy this time, in part due to the splendid form of their captain Karun Nair. But there is no point in performing well in this tournament. The top-performers are almost never considered for selection to the Indian national team.

A new series has started with a new tour which has a strong team and a weak team which makes it clear that the strong team can easily win this series. This tour is in women team which has India women and Ireland women which is strong and weak team. This series is an ODI in which 50 overs will be played. Ireland Women have batted first in which they have scored 238 runs. Although Ireland's defense used to be weak earlier, it is looking quite good in this match. But looking at the strength of India women, this target will be easy. If Ireland Women bowlers play well, it will be easy for them to beat them. India Women batsmen have also scored 197 runs in 31 overs, which is expected to eliminate Ireland in the next few overs.The first defeat of the series will come to Ireland Women the way they are playing.

Sri Lanka have been unable to maintain their dominance against New Zealand, as they lost the first match badly and they also lost the second match badly. Sri Lanka's ODI series against New Zealand has not been good, except for the second ODI, where they lost by a huge margin of 113 runs. There is no improvement in the batting and bowling of Sri Lanka, due to which they are not able to play a thrilling match with their opponent. The bowling performance and batting performance of New Zealand was very good, but nothing was right from Sri Lanka. Since Sri Lanka lost both the two ODI matches, they lost the series, as the next match is very important for them, so Sri Lanka must improve their game to win the third match. If Sri Lanka wants to maintain their dominance, then the third match against New Zealand must be the one, otherwise they will be whitewashed in the ODI series.

Sri Lanka are losing every match against New Zealand so how will they dominate against New Zealand.. Sri Lanka only won two warm-up matches and one T20 match against New Zealand, After that, they were unable to win a single match against New Zealand. Earlier when Sri Lanka lost the first match and the second match of the T20 series against New Zealand we thought that maybe they will be whitewashed in the T20 series but they won the third match, As a result, they were not whitewashed in that series. We are seeing similar performance from them in ODI series also i.e. they lost in first ODI and also lost in second ODI so maybe they will be able to win in third ODI against New Zealand.

Last match could be more exciting because Sri Lankan International cricket team have lost first 2 matches and players of that team are furious because they want to win next match . They lost badly in last match because that team was all out by making only 142 runs. New Zealand International cricket team won the match by 113 runs . O'Rourke did excellent bowling in this match and he got 3 wickets in this match and he gave only 31 runs in this match and Duffy also took 2 wickets in this match and he was a wicket taker bowler in this match.New Zealand International cricket team did gave incredible target but Sri Lankan team batting was very poor in this match and that was the reason of success of New Zealand team.

If the Sri Lankan players can perform well in the third match then maybe the third match will be more exciting. But if they put up a simple performance like the first match and the second match, maybe the third match will be a one-sided match. There is not much difference in ICC rankings between Sri Lanka and New Zealand teams yet Sri Lanka have already lost two ODIs to New Zealand. I think it is normal for Sri Lanka to lose in the second ODI because you look at their performance and see how they batted. The Sri Lankan team was defeated by New Zealand by a huge margin and miserably in the first and the second ODI.

More exciting thing that their squad already emerged victory in first match of one day competition and also won the competition of T20 format with 2 victory and one lost. Now they lead this competition with 2 victory and one more match remain to play and now their squad close to whitewash Sri Lanka squad fully. In second match, rain disturbed the match and overs reduced to 37 for both innings. New Zealand squad has begun match first with Batting with strong performance as well strong scores total 255. Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra build strong partnership and put burden to Sri Lanka bowlers and both managed to collect 79 and 62 scores respectively. More dangerous performance was displayed by bowlers of New Zealand squad and they restricted batters of Sri Lanka squad at 142 scores and secured a victory with massive scores 113 scores.

SRI Lanka team did not play well in odi tournament and lost two consecutive games. New Zealand is a strong team and amazing playing and won total two games. They played all matches very well and the man also played this match. Which was proved that New Zealand is a very strong team and it is hoped that they will continue to play well in the future. New Zealand won 2nd game by 113 runs. The 2nd match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka was played at Seddon Park . Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowling first. New Zealand total runs for 255 in target and won the match. Sri Lanka chase total runs for 142 and lost the match. I hope Sri Lanka they will play better in the future match. The best batting performance in the New Zealand man team was by Rachin scored 78 runs and 63 balls hitting 9 fours and 1 sixs.

I don't have any type of field like this that that much could be excited. Because I saw that that Sri Lanka batters it really failed to stand up against the bowlers of New Zealand team. Although I have some doubt in the beginning of this series because of in the previous series of Sri Lanka versus New Zealand team there will saw some poor performance from the New Zealand team.
But in this series the scenario is fully changed and it goes to only for the New Zealand team. I also think that in third match the New Zealand team will be win and make Sri Lanka whitewashed in the ODI series what they couldn't on the T20 Series.

I didn't said that population is the only criteria. But it is one of the factors that need to be considered. Look at the difference between England and New Zealand. The former has a population that is 12 times that of New Zealand. As a result, there are more cricket players at club, first-class and international level. So the player pool is much bigger. The problem with New Zealand is that they have such a small player pool, and in case any of their players get injured, then it gets really difficult to replace them.

New Zealand despite having small population is runner up in two ODI world cups. They are as good as any other team in the world, they just need to perform well on big days.

The numbers of population in New Zealand are very low but yes, their performance is highly appreciable. It is not right that if the population is small, they will not do well, but if the population is large, it is easier to produce cricketers there or it is easier to find good cricketers. If we look at Indian cricket the population is very large, due to which the players have to compete a lot to survive in the team, but in countries where the population is small, they can get a chance in the team only if they do a little bit well. It would be wrong to consider everything only in terms of population. Sometimes small countries also rule in cricket.
