Bangladesh Cricket Team vs Ireland Cricket Team. Today is the last match of the ODI series. In this match, Ireland cricket team is batting first after winning the toss. From the beginning of the batting, Ireland cricket team is batting dangerously. Their batting performance is very poor. Ireland cricket team has collected 90 runs for the loss of 8 wickets so far. On the other hand, Bangladesh bowlers have to be praised. Bangladesh have really managed to get themselves back into form. Bangladeshi bowlers have become quite deadly. Ireland batsmen are struggling to play the balls of Bangladeshi bowlers. Now let's see how much Ireland cricket team can score till the end of the game.
After a successful ODI series and BGT now the question arises will Australian management replace Cummins with Smith. After Steve Smith took over as a captain this Australian side has performed exceptionally. Not only they were able to save thier face in BGT but were able to break India's domination on home ground. I think Steve Smith should continue to lead Australia till the world cup.
Keeping Steven Smith ahead of the ODI World Cup would certainly be the right decision for the Australian team. He is quite qualified as a captain. Moreover, he has a lot of playing experience in India. Steven Smith is far ahead of Pat Cummins in this respect. I think Steven Smith should be given the opportunity if the selection board considers his overall performance rather than depending on any particular match. 
Ireland tour of Bangladesh 3rd ODI match started today.Ireland won the toss and came to bat.Ireland is in a very bad condition in batting.They scored 84 runs in 23.1 overs.But Ireland are now very worried after losing 8 wickets.Bangladesh team is amazing today. The performance has started. It seems that all the batsmen of Ireland will be all out today. Ireland has only 2 wickets left. Bangladesh team will win this match very easily. Those who bet in support of Bangladesh team will win the bet today.

It is understandable that there is debate around who should lead the Australian cricket team given Steve Smith's impressive performance as captain in recent matches however it is important to remember that Pat Cummins is also in charge. Has been an important member of the team and his contribution as a player cannot be overlooked. Ultimately it is up to the Australian management to decide based on what they think is best for the team as a whole. Whether this involves continuing with Steve Smith as captain or retaining Pat Cummins in that role the decision must be made with the success of the team in mind. The captain of the Ireland team won the toss for the third time in a row against Bangladesh. Today Ireland won the toss and elected to bat first. Bangladesh had a chance to score a big score today but the toss messed up Bangladesh's planning. The third and last ODI match of Bangladesh vs Ireland is going to take place shortly. Bangladesh will enter the field today with some changes. Mehdi Hasan Meraj returned to the team instead of Yasir Ali .Good luck to both teams.
Ireland won the toss and went down to bat. Collected 23 runs after losing 3 wickets in 9 overs. They are under a lot of pressure now. Lost three important wickets. They now have to play more intelligently.Hasan Mahmood alone took 3 wickets. Today, Bangladesh bowled brilliantly. Today's match is very important for Bangladesh, because they have to win today's match to win the series.

Here we need to appreciate Australians as well because after losing first two test matches they have done good comeback and have enough spirit to bring down India at their home with they were good but sadly in first two test matches they were not able to perform as their plan, but after Smith take as captain things change for them, and they have better use of their bowlers which help them for having better performance.
Australian team has the capability to perform in every country not only on there home ground. Australia lost the test series but bounced back to win the ODI series last night. Steven Smith performance as a captain is impressive and if smith was captain instead of Pat Cummins in first two test matches then results will surely be different.
Meanwhile Zimbabwe lost two quick wickets against Netherlands and score is 110/4 in 23 overs. The key batsmen Raza gone without scoring any run. Zimbabwe already one down in the this series must be feeling the pressure at the moment.
Today's match is very important for both Bangladesh and Ireland. If Bangladesh can win this match today then they will win the series. In response, Bangladesh will have to fight hard. On the other hand, Ireland will have to perform hard to win the series and Bangladesh will have to beat them with a hard performance. But let us enjoy this important match.

There is no point in blaming one particular player. The whole batting line up is pretty much in shambles. Indian batters were know to be good against spinners but they are struggling to even defend themselves against spin bowling. I know it is just a phase and it shall also pass on but the question is when? Just before the World Cup India is struggling with bat. The bowlers are doing an excellent job but those famous batters are so much with pride that they forgot how & where should they hit the ball. I am getting a feeling that this Indian team will suck in the world cup. If they do then the repercussions would be worst from the fans.

Even this all is OK, but now it's time for having some improvement in batting as well because new generation Indian batsmen have no enough quality to read spin as we have few years back with IPL things are changing very quickly everyone wanted to have good strike rate and quick firepower which is also creating problems for them, and they are not able to study as they needed to be done in all formats.

The second match abandoned for Bangladesh was very important and full of records. The abandoned second match was the highest run-scoring innings for Bangladesh but unfortunately the match was abandoned due to rain. Mushfiqur Rahim had an impeccable century in an innings of 349 runs in Bangladesh which was the lowest in Mushfiqur Rahim's career.
Bangladesh's abandonment of the second match was particularly unfortunate for Mushfiqur Rahim. But one thing I am in dilemma is whether Mushfiqur Rahim's century and 7000 run record will be changed or recorded. As far as I know nothing is recorded when a match is abandoned. If so then Mushfiqur Rahim has suffered the most for the second match being abandoned.However, Bangladesh must win the third ODI to win the series, on the other hand, Ireland must win this match to equalize the series.

Bangladesh vs Ireland
Today the last match of the series is Bangladesh vs Ireland. The second match was postponed due to rain. Bangladesh collected 349 runs in the last match. A very big target, Bangladesh would have easily won the match. The match was not won due to rain.
Bangladesh's weak opponent is Ireland. Bangladeshi players are in great form now. Mushfiqur Rahim has shown great performance in the last two days. I think Bangladesh will win today.

Not talking about the ICC trophy (or bilaterals for that matter) at all but ICC knockouts. They have to clear knockouts to reach finals first that's why arguing that if more teams are added in the ICC tournaments then they won't even reach knockouts, which they do regularly in almost every ICC tourney.
I am implying 2007 like scenario repeating every now n then if the ICC tourney becomes multi team competition (16-20 teams on the group stage).

The best and most practical solution to this, is to add a few more teams from India. Along with the senior Indian team, there can be an Indian U-25 team (captained by Ishan Kishan or Rishabh Pant) and an Indian A team (captained by players like Natarajan who are not preferred by the Indian selectors). This will retain the viewer interest in the tournament, in case India senior team gets knocked out during the group phase. And what is the issue in having a few more teams, when we have United Arab Emirates and Oman fielding teams entirely comprised of Indian citizens?
Let me be blunt here.
If ICC decides to add 10 more teams in the ICC WC (20-ish teams) then this Indian team won't even reach the knockouts. Not saying they are not good but there is some serious problem with the mindset and it shows from time to time in important matches and big worry is no one is willing to address this issue. I really don't understand how come our batter forget to play spin. At one point Indian batters used to treat legendary Warne and Murli like club bowlers.

That maybe a wrong comparison. India never performs well during ICC tournaments. They are the best when they participate in bilateral tours. When was the last time the Indian team won an ICC championship? I believe it was at least a decade ago, when Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain. But I agree with you on the last part. We had legendary batsmen, who would smash top-quality spinners like Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Saqlain Mushtaq all around the park. Current batsmen would struggle against Zampa and Murphy.

India vs Australia
I saw a tough fight between these two teams. But I lost the bet on yesterday's match. I thought maybe India will win. I placed a bet in support of India but India lost the match because of the poor batsmen of India. I lost the bet. The batsman of the Indian team KL Rahul batted very badly. I expected KL Rahul to score more than 50 runs but before that KL Rahul got out. Virat Kohli scored the best runs among Indian batsmen. Virat Kohli scored 54 runs off 72 balls.
As per my prediction in the previous post in this thread. I was looking the team Australia more strong as compare to Indian team. Many are saying the Indians teams stupidity or some are saying India's team players didn't played well. Bla bla bla. But in my point of view, when the second team will be strong so this team always catch the loose points of the other team and then try to work on it. You can say the India's team played not well but you can also say that the Australian was good to. I saw a tough fight between these two teams. But I lost the bet on yesterday's match.

India need 27 runs from just 13 balls to win. India is under a lot of pressure right now. They have already lost 9 wickets. But it looks like India will not be able to win today's match. I bet for India in today's match but I never imagined that India would do so badly. It is very sad that they could not win today in India's own ground. However, don't give up hope yet, let's see what India can do. However, the target of 270 runs given by Australia was not much. But India themselves made the match very difficult.
Australia won the match by 21 runs. After giving Australia a target of 270 I expected India to win. But they failed. Not to say that the team's top-order players performed poorly. But no batsman could play a big inning. Virat Kohli scored the highest 54 runs for the team. India could have won this match if any batsman batted with some responsibility and stayed at the crease. India could have won if Suryakumar Yadav and Jadeja batted a bit better. Despite winning the Test series, India lost the ODI series.India should have won with a target of 270 runs on such a pitch. They lost because of their stupidity. Apart from Virat Kohli, I have never seen any batsman bat with responsibility. If Kohli was able to score a century, maybe the Indian team would have been able to win. Also missing one of the most important players in the Indian squad, Suryakumar Yadav, Axar Patel and Jadeja did not perform well. Indian middle order depended on these three players. The weaknesses of the Indian squad have been well exposed in this series. If the Indian management does not take proper steps to fix their weaknesses now, they will face bigger problems in the future.
Let me be blunt here.

The target was 270 runs. India needed 5.7 runs per over. We don't know why Rohit Sharma played aggressively in such a situation. He scored 30 runs, not a bad innings. But he should have batted patiently and stayed at the crease. And by forming a large pair. If the two openers were able to form a big pair, India would not have lost this match. Even then, India was in control of the match till 35 overs. After that, India started to slip after losing two wickets in the 36th over. And can't get back to the truck.

Only Virat Kohli performed good and Hardik Pandya tried to score good runs rest of the team literally wasted balls . Rohit Sharma could have performed sensibly , there were great expectations from Suryakumar Yadav but he got out on a duck and he's the first Indian player who got out on ducks in 3 consecutive matches .
I can agree on the fact that Rohit Sharma played aggressively when there was no need for it. I mean, the target was only 270 runs; there was no need to play with a 170+ strike rate to be honest. Rohit Sharma could have at least played slowly and should have been settled before hitting those big shots. Virat did his job, but the rest of the batsmen didn’t do as expected. If, instead of Kuldeep, we had Axar in the team, then still India had chances to win the match, as Axar is a good batsman as well. Moreover, Surya didn’t do well, and BCCI will definitely reconsider an alternative for him if he doesn’t perform well in the next series, either. The target was 270 runs. India needed 5.7 runs per over. We don't know why Rohit Sharma played aggressively in such a situation. He scored 30 runs, not a bad innings. But he should have batted patiently and stayed at the crease. And by forming a large pair. If the two openers were able to form a big pair, India would not have lost this match.
