In the next few hours, the game between Sri Lanka and West Indies will take place and I think Sri Lanka is ready to win as in the last game, they played very good especially did amazing bowling and out the all magical batsmen and power hitters of West Insides team. If their bowlers will not allow West Indies batsmen to take a good start today then it will be super great because it may repeat the sense of the last game as well. But at the same time, I am thinking that West Indies will also change their mindset and come up with a different approach.

Also bookies have given the odds based on the previous match result. If West Indies can play well, they can win this match too and we can get 3.0 odds if they win.  Smiley



The West Indies cricket team was also defeated in the second ODI match against Sri Lanka. The team has been performing poorly in all three formats of cricket in recent times. We saw West Indies lose the series 2-1 to Sri Lanka in the T20I series between these two teams. Similarly in the ODI series they continued their poor performance having already lost the first two matches, which resulted in Sri Lanka winning the ODI series against the West Indies with one match to spare.
The biggest failure of the West Indies team throughout the series is that their batsmen have been batting very poorly. No batsman of the West Indies team is able to bat consistently.

West Indies team performance is very bad and they are not playing cricket like they are playing International matches. The players are playing the matches such that they are playing practice matches. The role behind the lose is also of cricket board of West Indies.

West Indies cricket board is not paying good and also government is not supporting their best players and that's why they want to play league matches except International matches.  Maheesh Theekshana was awarded as player of the match in last match because he performed very well in last match and took 3 wickets by giving 25 runs in 9 overs . Sri Lankan team chased the target easily without any pressure.

India Women vs New Zealand Women

Is anyone here who is familiar with this new One day competition was hosted among India and New Zealand squad with lead three matches.

First match is live now and toss task among both squads already done and India women squad has begun this match first with batting Inning by winning toss task and their performance in batting Inning was not too much interesting and India women squad has managed 227 scores after playing 50 overs inning with lost of all wickets. New Zealand women squad has a golden chance to beat strong squad India they have enough deliveries to play and achieve remaining scores but problem is that they have less remain for bat and they already lost 7 wickets and in 61 deliveries New Zealand Women need 64 scores. Button order batter of India women squad expressed their amazing skills of batting. Let's watch out what happen in remaining overs New Zealand women squad will achieve remaining scores or not.
ODI tournament started two big teams in Women India and New Zealand team and this 1st match between New Zealand women team and India women was played at Narendra Modi ground. India women won the toss and selected to bat. India team did not play well in batting and set a record total runs 227 and but they won the match. New Zealand women team chased total runs 168 and lost the match by 59 runs. Hopefully  India women team will play more matches like this in the future. New Zealand women team played a very bad match.  Nothern knight needs to work hard now to move forward. They will have to work even harder to progress. The best bowling performance in the India team  team was showed by Radha Yadav bowled 8.4 over conceded 35 runs and took 3 Wickets. Congratulations to India women for their upcoming matches.

I feel the New Zealand women's team is not too worried about this series. A few days ago they won the T20 World Cup title. And perhaps that is why the New Zealand Women's team players have taken this ODI series against India lightly.

New Zealand women's team lost today by a huge margin of 59 runs. Bharat Mahila Dal did not provide a very big target. India set a descent target of 228 runs. However, none of the batsmen in the New Zealand women's squad can bat well. New Zealand managed to collect only 168 runs. Brooke Halliday scored the highest 39 runs for the team.
Do you really think that after winning the World Cup a team should become careless and start to lose matches  Huh I believe that once you win a big title, the responsibility becomes even more on you to win matches afterwards so the people do not point fingers at you that you won the wolrd cup by chance and you don't deserve it in the first place.

The way the Indian team played today, it is a danger sign for the New Zealand team. They have to adapt to the Indian conditions otherwise they may lose the series or maybe get whitewashed by them. They will never want such a result just after winning the T20 World Cup. That will be so embarrassing for them.

I think so because I think New Zealand women's players are not willing to take a lot of pressure right now. The New Zealand women's team was not the favorite to win the T20 World Cup. But the team performed well so the team was able to win the T20 World Cup. And I think the players will definitely want to relax after winning the T20 World Cup. But the New Zealand team is playing against India in just three days after the end of the World Cup. And that's why I say New Zealand women's team is not too worried about this series against India. My guess may be wrong.

The next round of matches for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 will be starting tomorrow, with the tri-series between Nepal, Scotland and United States of America. Scotland, despite being the strongest associate team at the moment has only 9 points from 7 matches. On the other hand, the USA is second in points table with 12 points from 8 matches (and this time they will have the home advantage as well). Nepal is in pathetic state. They have just 3 points so far, from 8 matches.

Lol man I was expecting the win for the New Zealand women's team because of they won the recent ICC women's T20 Cup. Although this is ODI but the batting performance from the New Zealand women's team was really unexpected for me. Specially for their top order batsmen because no one was able to cross only 30 run from the top-order batters and that the reason they couldn't able to chase only 228 run in this ODI format.
Anyway, the Indian bowler did really good in this match Radha Yadav and Saima Thakor these two are the brilliant. Anyway I will looking for the next two matches for who will win this series. I have still faith in New Zealand team they have the ability to recovering.

They will have to worry now as they will lose the first match by a huge margin.There is no doubt that New Zealand women have become weaker after winning this title.  They should have won this match because they are a strong team.There are 2 matches in this series, it will be proved in the next match if New Zealand women lose the match then they will look weak in the series.New Zealand Women got such an easy target that their batsmen could not score 227 runs in 50 overs and lost the match.Had New Zealand Women not run out of wickets they could have won the match.  Because they had 9 overs and needed 59 runs but lost the match due to bad luck and poor performance by their batsmen.They have a chance to improve in the next match and win this match so there will be less risk of losing the series.

Yes, India women amazing performance in first ODI against New Zealand women and won by 59 runs. Indian women decision to batting first is good they scored 227 runs all out in 45th over of the match. While chasing down a target of 228 runs New Zealand women only manage to score 168 runs all out. Radha Yadav from Indian women picked 3 crucial wickets by giving 25 runs. The Player of the Match is Deepti Sharma for his all round outstanding performance in batting she scored 41 runs from 51 balls and in bowling picked the one important wicket ny just giving 25 runs in his bowling spell. India women lead the ODI series by 1-0. I'm hoping that New Zealand women will comeback strongly in next match of series.

We don't see any excitement in the ODI match between Sri Lanka vs West Indies. West Indies beat Sri Lanka by a huge margin in the first ODI and the same happened in the second ODI. 
Batting first against Sri Lanka, West Indies were able to score only 189 runs in 36 overs while Sri Lanka reached their target for 5 wickets in 38 overs. Sri Lanka have already secured the series by winning the first two ODI matches and in the third ODI match, Sri Lanka will take on the West Indies to whitewash the West Indies. Atleast hope West Indies can perform well in third T20I and they can beat Sri Lanka.

Even after playing cricket for a long time, the West Indies team is not able to improve in that way. That's why losing their matches is becoming very common especially in this series. Sri Lankan cricket has improved a lot in recent times due to which the West Indies team could not score well against Sri Lanka. In today's match West Indies kept losing their wickets from the start and it looked like they might not score much. But Sherfane Rutherford and Motie brought the team out of that idea. But they could not go far. They have to finish their journey with just 189 runs. However, despite these difficult times, these two players completed their half-centuries.

Sri Lanka's performance in this series looks great and it looks like the West Indies team will be whitewashed. But since the West Indies is known as a big team in cricket, maybe Sri Lanka can give them a win as a consolation.
West Indies cricket team is struggling despite their past success. They can not seem to get better and keep losing especially to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has improved a lot recently making it hard for West Indies to score runs. Players Rutherford and Motie tried their best but it was not enough. West Indies only scored 189 runs which wasn't enough. Sri Lanka is doing very well in this series and might win all matches. However since West Indies is well known cricket team Sri Lanka might let them win one match as courtesy. West Indies needs to fix their batting problems to compete again. Outcome of series will be interesting to see.

Sri Lanka is comfortably winning the 2nd ODI also winning this 3 match ODI series against West Indies. They have also won T20 series previously. Curating pitch has always been an issue. Though there are some advantages in each team that may be exploited by curating some aspects of pitch but in overall the pitch is same for both teams. Ideally each team should have both pace and spin bowlers to take advantage of the pitch they are playing in. I don't know how and at what degree the teams you mentioned are changing the pitch but it don't seem to favor Bangladesh as they are not playing good against South Africa in Bangladesh.
That's means today the Sri Lankan team has also taken the ODI series under them and they will be able to win the series before one match. Today the batting performance of West Indies is very bad, no batsman of the top order and lower order could perform well today. I think if Sherfane Rutherford could not get 80 runs from 82 balls then the West Indies team would not have crossed 100 runs but Gudakesh Motie's 50 runs at the last moment helped the West Indies team to cross 150 runs.
Anyway only 17 runs needed from 53 balls to win. I think Sri Lanka team will be able to win the match before 40 overs.
Actually the match was very important for the sri lankan team as they won the series at their home ground. I really wonder now whether sri lanka will claim a whitewash or west indies will win the consolation? West Indies came under huge pressure as sri lanka won two consecutive matches and secured the trophy. Now sri lanka have a strong base which is why they will want to do better in the next match so that the West Indies can reach a whitewash. Actually west indies team is much weaker than before because they are playing series with mostly new players.

It is kind of foolish to expect to win a match with such a small score in ODI match play. In today's second match, Sri Lanka snatched a five-wicket win against the West Indies. The Sri Lankan team confirmed the series by capturing two matches of this series. I think West Indies players need to practice hard to do well against Sri Lanka. So that they can do well in the last match of this series to save some of their honor. Congratulations to the Sri Lankan team for a great win in the second match today.
This tour to Sri Lanka is really going badly for West Indies as they lost in an already t20 series where they could have won if they performed a little better. After losing the first match in the ODI series, in today's match due to bad weather or in this weather, they were unable to adjust themselves and their batting lineup fell out. The result of which we saw only 189 run score. However, in both the series, the Sri Lankan bowlers and batsmen have performed well, especially in this match. Anyway, congratulations to the Sri Lankan team for winning the ODI series with one match to spare.

What teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are doing is not for international cricket. They are making tailor-made pitches to suit their bowlers, and if everyone follows their example then cricket will rapidly become a game of curators rather than players. In the end, the fans will get bored with watching the same stuff again and again, and they will focus on some other sport. Today West Indies were reduced to 58/8 at one point. They reached a respectable total only due to Gudakesh Motie and Sherfane Rutherford.  
I would like to blame the batsmen instead of raising questions to the pitch quality in such cases. The 9th wicket partnership proves that the pitch wasn't completely in favour of bowlers. Sri Lanka had also lost their first two wickets quickly, but their batsmen showed responsibility after that. However, it is true that home team usually tries to make a pitch which will give benefits to them. Either in bowling, or in batting. It isn't about Bangladesh or Sri Lanka only. I hope West Indies will be able to avoid being whitewashed by winning the last ODI match.

The match on going progress, west indies batsmen Athanaze and king first batting makes 6 run in 1 over.The Sri Lankan bowler Theekshana first success was the wicket of Athanaze on the last ball of the third over.  This batsman scored only 1 run in 3 balls.After the next few balls, Sri Lanka second bowler Fernando success came from the king wicket in 4 balls of 4 overs.  This batsman scored 16 runs off 18 balls.West indies batsmen makes 37 run in 10 over and lose 4 wickets. West indies batsmen could not worked hard and struggle and not make run.The way the West Indies batsmen are target, they will not be able to give such a difficult target to Sri Lanka.  They should play it fast and try to hit hard targets.The West Indies batsmen have played 33 overs so far in which they have scored only 173 runs and lost 8 wickets.

The 2nd match between Sri Lanka and West indies was played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. west indies scored 189 runs and last the game. Sri lanka won the match by chasing record with amazing gameplay. Sri Lankan played a very good match but West indies showed bad innings and lost this second game. Both teams are very strong teams. Hopefully, they will continue to play like this in the future and completely win this tournament no lose. The best batting performance in the  Sri Lanka  team was showed  by Charith Asalanka and he made 62 runs and 61 balls hitting 7 fours and 1 sixs.

I don't expect anything better from West Indies in the ODi series. But in T20 series I thought West Indies team will perform well against Sri Lanka. Even West Indies performed well in the first match of the series. But in every subsequent match we have seen poor and poor performances from the West Indies batsmen. West Indies also lost the T20 series 2-1.

Sri Lankan team is very strong at home ground. So if they don't perform well against Sri Lanka then victory is not possible. In the first match, the West Indies team could not provide a big target. In today's match, the West Indies team managed to collect only 189 runs in 44 overs. Even the batsmen of West Indies cannot survive in the 44 over crease. It was not difficult for Sri Lanka to win on such a small target. Sri Lanka easily won this match.

Maheesh Theekshana bowled very controlled today. Maheesh Theekshana conceded only 25 runs in 9 overs and took three wickets. Hasaranga also managed to pick up four wickets.

Sri Lanka Vs West Indies 2nd ODI match West Indies batting in the first innings and they did not play well today. Although rain reduced the game to 44 overs due to DLS format, the West Indies team could not collect a good score in today's match. The batsmen were out early with little anger due to which they were not motivated to score, only Sherfane Rutherford was able to put in a good batting performance scoring 80 runs. And right now Gudakesh Motie is batting well, although he is batting responsibly, West Indies are under a lot of pressure right now. If they lose one wicket at this moment they will be all out so they have to play very responsibly now and bat patiently, West Indies at the moment have collected 182 runs in 35 overs.
In today match the West Indies team has not looked in good form due to which their batsmen have score only 189 runs in 36 overs and the whole team will be out.  Their batsmen lost 2 wickets in the first 4 overs due to which they went into a loss.  If their bowlers don't work hard and stop the runs they will lose this match. The Sri Lanka batsmen have scored 14 runs in 4 overs, looking to achieve this target. I believe them because the target is not that strong.  But the West Indies bowler also has no idea whether he will try as much as he can in this match or not. The West Indies batsmen could have set a target of 250 if they had not lost their wickets which would have been a bit of a tough target but any effort now depends on their bowlers whether they win the match or not.
