Australia Women V Pakistan Women

The Australian women's team vs Pakistan women's team match will be held today. It seems like the second ODI will be one-sided like the first one. Pakistan women's team is not very strong. Their performance in the first match was poor. They were given a target of just 158 runs in 40 overs. And the Australian batsmen did not face any problems to reach this target. Australia women's team easily reached the target of victory by losing only 2 wickets. Opener Phoeba Litchfield remained unbeaten on 78 runs. Pakistan is weak in both batting and bowling. So winning this series is not a difficult task for Australia.

Australian women's team is stronger than Pakistan women's team on both batting and bowling sides and we have seen that performance in the last ODI match. Although that match was played on ICC's DLS method, I think there will be no difference in this match. And if Pakistan women team can increase their batting strike rate in this match compared to their last match then I think there is a little chance in batting site but Phoebe Litchfield and Meg Lanning are in form now I think they can put the bowling side of Pakistan women team under pressure.
All things considered Australia is ahead in all aspects so in my win probability I will put Australia Women's team ahead of Pakistan Women's team. And I think Pakistan women team is going to be whitewashed in this ODI series

As usual in this match also the batsmen of the Pakistan women's team are not playing well. At the end of 29 overs, Pakistan's batsmen collected 102 runs. Their current run rate is only 3.51. And Pakistan lost 5 wickets. And so Pakistan will not be able to give a big target in today's match. Between 160-170, Pakistan is most likely to lose all their wickets. With Nida Dar and Sidra Nawaz out, it doesn't look like it will take longer for the rest of the wickets to fall. Like the first ODI, Australia's women's team will win today's match very easily.

Australian women's team is much stronger when compared to Pakistan women's team. The performance of the Pakistan women's team is not stable. There is no player in the team who is capable of consistently performing well. Batsmen's erratic batting is the main weakness of the Pakistan team. And I think we will see bad batting from Pakistan in today's match like in the first match. Pakistan collected only 43 runs in 13 overs. But they lost both the openers. And it is estimated that Pakistan women's team will give a target of 180 in today's match.

Looks like many Kohli haters understood why it's pointless trying to troll him now. This dude is back on track now and is inching closer and closer to breaking the little master's records in the future.

Also, Siraj, Malik and Yadav were the best bowlers of this series in my opinion.

After India's ODI series loss to Bangladesh, there was a lot of discussion among the Indian Cricket Board about Kohli and some other players. The Indian Cricket Board has given some players temporary rest for different periods but they relaxed it when it came to Kohli. You all have already seen the talent of Kohli and the talent of Kohli against Sri Lanka has got a huge positive response in the world cricket arena. It goes without saying that Kohli is the next Little Master and anytime Kohli can break the records set by Sachin Tendulkar. Indian cricket management but they know about Kohli and they warn Kohli from time to time that Kohli can come back to his previous form and perform well.

I don't think that new Zealand play really well against Pakistan ,they play just like normal team but Pakistan play too bad inning's against them, they can't even score 250 easily. In my mind 250 or around it
isn't a big target for strong batting lineup like Pakistan but they failed in every match, so they should work on it otherwise the upcoming ODI Asia Cup and World Cup will be very difficult for them

You are right, Pakistan's performance against New Zealand was very poor. Pakistan's batting in particular was very poor. Due to this, the New Zealand team did not face any problems to win the series. But the series win against India is very challenging for New Zealand. India's batsmen have returned to form in recent times. And batting brilliantly. Especially Virat Kohli is playing well in every match. Also, the performance of the Indian bowlers has been better than before. So it is very difficult for New Zealand to win this series. I would say India is the favorite team in this series,

We can't be sure about it. The performance against Sri Lanka is different from the performance against New Zealand. It isn't easy to score same as 373 and 390 against New Zealand, because the bowling is simply hard. Just because the batsmen performed good, Indian bowlers were able to do their best without pressure. When there is pressure surely the Indian bowlers will find it hard to take wickets.

Look like a busy schedule for team India. They just finished the series against Sri Lanka and now New Zealand. According to the Cricbuzz, This is the Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Umran Malik/Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal/Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj.

Axar and Chahal are not available, maybe Shardul Thakur can get a chance. But, Umran Malik passing a good time as well. Let's see.

Axar not being available is a big blow because I feel that he is best all-rounder in the Indian cricket team at the moment. Chahal hasn't been performing well for a long time now which is why him not being available isn't really a big deal.

Rohit Sharma should be replaced too for players like Samson etc since I don't remember the last time he scored well in any format.

The Australian women's team is already ahead by winning one match of this ODI series. And everyone is also not giving any chance to the Pakistan women's team as well. I think there are good reasons for that as well. Because the first match between the Australian women's team and Pakistan women's team was absolutely one sided. People are expecting the same type of performance from these teams.

I also do not give the Pakistan women's team too many chances and I don't have very high hopes for them as well. After all, the Australian women's team is the best women's cricket team in the world right now. And the Pakistan women's team is very inexperienced.

Actually, I think Sri Lanka had a lot of pressure. Because the target was really big. And Sri Lanka was under pressure from the start of the chase. But there is no excuse for them to perform so badly like this. In the first match, Sri Lanka at least tried to reach the total. And the score which they reached was actually decent and respectable. But this time things did not work out for them. They got all out for 72. That is just a shameful performance from Sri Lanka.

For India, it was a record-breaking Sunday, but for Sri Lanka, it was an embarrassing one. As a result of pressure, Sri Lanka did not play well. Against a formidable Indian bowling attack, Sri Lanka produced one of their weakest innings. I congratulate the Indian cricket team on their highest-ever win over Sri Lanka. It has been a promising start to the New Year for India.

Sirlanka didn't even try to win , they performed ok before in t20 and previous ODI but this was some horrible performance by them. Yes their victory was difficult yesterday as India gave a huge target but atleast they could have fought for their pride and respect. 73 all out was not good for a team like Sirlanka.

I think we are not giving enough credit to the Indian bowling lineup. They have actually done well in this match and also in this series in my opinion. But the thing is the Indian players have batted so well that the spotlight never went on the bowlers. They have also done a very good job. Tomorrow India is going to play against New Zealand. India will be very confident to win this series against New Zealand as well. Especially after such a good performance against Sri Lanka.

I'm not sure of the other matches, but in the last match it was the batsmen who gave good opportunity for the bowlers to have a pressure free bowling. When bowling under pressure, surely they won't be able to perform well. The upcoming match need to address the real ability, because New Zealand is in its winning form against Pakistan and Indian pitch seems to be similar to that of Pakistan pitch.

There is no doubt that India played very well against Sri Lanka. India's team was not stable, but now they are playing well enough. Virat Kohli in particular has returned to form. At the same time, India's unstable bowling line-up has improved. In the last match, we saw that India picked up 10 wickets of Sri Lanka for just 73 runs. So I would say the next series' opponent is strong New Zealand team. However, with the form India is in now, I am very optimistic about their performance. I think India team will be able to win both ODI and T20 series against New Zealand.

New Zealand players played well against Pakistan in the last series.

I don't think that new Zealand play really well against Pakistan ,they play just like normal team but Pakistan play too bad inning's against them, they can't even score 250 easily. In my mind 250 or around it
isn't a big target for strong batting lineup like Pakistan but they failed in every match, so they should work on it otherwise the upcoming ODI Asia Cup and World Cup will be very difficult for them

Shreyas Iyer ruled out of the India VS Newzealand ODI due to back injury. He will be now replaced by Rajat Patidar. I think it all depends on whom Rohit Sharma would select tomorrow as he has got other options too. It would be interesting to see who gets that opportunity. In all a competitive ODI series is expected as both these team have recently won ODI series respectively.

If this were the Sri Lankan team that had all the famous players such as Dilshan, Sangakkara, Malinga, etc., then I would have said that Sri Lanka is going to be playing very competitively against India. However, you should take a look at the current Sri Lanka squad. In my opinion, Sri Lanka does not have a high chance against India at this point. Unless India makes big mistakes, Sri Lanka are not going to be able to win against them.

Anyway, the series is over now. Now the New Zealand vs India bilateral will start from tomorrow onwards, with the first ODI being scheduled in Hyderabad. It is going to be a series of 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is. And after that the test series against Australia will start. It will take another 2 months to find out whether Sri Lanka will gain automatic qualification for the ODI world cup or not. They have 3 matches remaining, all of them against New Zealand (away matches). Currently they have 77 points from 18 matches. They need to win at least 2 out of the 3 matches.

That's true Sirlanka was such a good team but now their performance have declined tremendously, even they won Asiz Cup last year and after that they lost all . This team has a tendency of showing some good cricket.

A squad has been named for India's ODI series against New Zealand. As a result of an injury, Shreyas Iyer will not play in the upcoming 3 ODI series against New Zealand. For the calendar year 2022, he was India's leading run scorer. As a result of his unavailability, Rajat Patidar has the opportunity to represent India in ODI series. NZ will be a real challenge after a strong performance against SL.

They will try their best to win 2 out of 3 matches. Because they need it for the world cup qualifications. They tried really well against India but unfortunately they didn't get much points. India were looking strong in this series.
And now New Zealand vs India, they both are good teams and there is a big competition between them.

Sri Lanka will never win a cricket match with India. Because India is a famous and strong team in the game of cricket. And India beat Sri Lanka in three ODIs in a row and in the third match India beat Sri Lanka by a huge margin which was 317 runs. So in future it will not be right to arrange matches to play India and Sri Lanka against each other in the first match because it is not fair because India is several times stronger than Sri Lanka.

I will not disagree with you in this point that the India is a famous and a strong team in the world of cricket. But I also think that you can't underestimate by saying that one team will never gonna win against them. You shouldn't forgot that they were also a champion in ODI but you can say that their current performance wasn't good enough for beating the current india . And they are slow to fill the empty slots of their legendary players.
But it is true that if you look at the head to head matches in ODI matches India is much ahead of Sri Lanka but it doesn't mean that Sri Lanka can't win with them, I think Sri Lanka also have enough power to beat India.

If this were the Sri Lankan team that had all the famous players such as Dilshan, Sangakkara, Malinga, etc., then I would have said that Sri Lanka is going to be playing very competitively against India. However, you should take a look at the current Sri Lanka squad. In my opinion, Sri Lanka does not have a high chance against India at this point.

New Zealand currently has one of the strongest squads in the world. New Zealand players played well against Pakistan in the last series. So it is foolish to think that India will easily win against New Zealand. I think every match will be very competitive.
