3rd ODI Match Pakistan Cricket Team vs New Zealand Cricket Team. Only 25 minutes left for the game to start. I have selected New Zealand cricket team as favorite team and bet for New Zealand in today's match. Let's see how well New Zealand can perform in today's match
Pakistan VS Newzealand
The final ODI of this series will be played today. As this match is the decider I am hoping Pakistani batters take some ownership and not rely only on Babar Azam. Newzealand would be far much confident after the last win. They know the loopholes of Pakistani batting and would like to exploit it once again.
Look at it this way, at least Rohit is not going with his MI teammates (Kishan and SKY). It's exactly the opposite of Virat.
LOL.. agreed with that. Anyway, I believe that Ishan Kishan and Surya Kumar Yadav are two of the best batsmen available for India at this point. Rohit doesn't want to consider them, then fine. India can win without these two players, because they have so much depth in their player pool. And currently none of the other teams are having this luxury. Not even England, New Zealand or Australia. Now choosing between Virat and Rohit for the captaincy is like making a choice between Botulinum and Potassium Cyanide.
Ahead of the ODI World Cup, both India and Sri Lanka have reasons to be unhappy with their respective performance in this series. But I am also worried about the selection conundrum within Indian squad. Rohit is doing the same thing that Virat did, i.e intervening in the selection process. Shubhman Gill is very close to him and therefore he selected him ahead of Ishan Kishan (despite the fact that Ishan has been in terrific form). Umran Malik was selected ahead of Prasidh Krishna. It worked well, and Umran picked up wickets although he leaked plenty of runs. But I thought that Prasidh also deserved at least one match.
Who isn't biased towards others to some extent? I don't mind Rohit choosing Gill over Kishan at all, but I do mind Rohit being included in the squad when his performance has gone down the gutter lately.Deep Dasgupta is boring.
Sunny G is only good when he talks about batting technique but most of the time he's cringeworthy.
Agarkar is okay in patches.
Murli Kartik should be banned.

Anyway, India lost too many batters tonight and we have a long tail. 1 more wicket could make the match very interesting.

Edit
Okay, you must be talking about Rusell, he's there too.
Yes, it was Russell I was referring too. I hate hindi commentary because of Akash Chopra. He sounds so dramatic & always talking nonsense. I admire Sunny ji, Deep Dasgupta reminds me of Sanjay Manjarekar and I hate his fake ascent. Murli Karthik is a crap, not so sure about Agarkar.
After yesterday's match KL Rahul has confirmed his berth in the playing 11 for this year. One good innings from last year till yesterday and this guy has secured his position. I won't deny that if he had gotten out India might have lost the game by a narrow margin.
I am expecting a lot of changes in the final ODI. I am referring to those talents who have been sitting in the dressing room and admiring the views since India has already won the series.

We can't say Sri Lanka performed bad, maybe in the batting they missed it. With bowling they did the best. In the powerplay they managed to take 4 wickets, but India kept the run rate undisturbed. This lowered the pressure over the batsmen, and Rahul took the right stand at the right time creating partnership with Hardhik. If that partnership was broken, the match could've gone even closer. Let's see what's gonna happen in the third ODI. Sri Lanka will try the maximum to win the match, than ending the series whitewashed.
Sri Lanka were 100 for 1 at one point and there was a point when the betting odds for Sri Lanka scoring above 330 runs were 1.4 and so that says a lot when they mess up completely and score well below par at 215 runs. May be the pitch was bad and dried up completely by the 15th over because everyone struggled to score runs after that. They should prepare better pitches for ODI if they want the format to survive.

I think you should go T20 topic for discussing about Ireland and Zimbabwe T20 match. Because this topic is for ODI cricketThe problem is Sri Lanka was not even able to play the whole 50 overs. Sri Lanka finished their innings with 62 balls left. That is certainly not good. And the score was never going to be enough for Sri Lanka to beat India.
As expected India reached the target quite easily. But India also lost 6 wickets in that process. I believe that if Sri Lanka was able to play the whole 50 overs they could get enough score on the board to actually win because this was not a batting track. India reached the target with 40 balls left and made sure that they have already won the series.
In both ODI India completely outclass Sri Lanka in all fields but good thing happening for the Sri Lanka as their youths are taking good lessons from these mighty Indians which will help them in near future because currently they are under development and needs good time for having better results in all formats first match was high scoring but in second Sri Lanka bats first which was not good because few early wickets give them setback and after this middle order batting also not able to have any positive contribution but thanks to Wellalage which helps them for having score more than 215 because once I was feeling they could be not able to touch this figure of 200, but things ended good for them and after this in bowling they have also done good job with having few early wickets, but Indian batting is very long to they win this match easily.As expected India reached the target quite easily.

But I congratulate India for taking this series with one match in hand. And I think if there is a performance like that they can easily whitewash Sri Lanka but I thought Sri Lanka would get a little help. But I think the credit behind today's game win has to go to India's bowlers as most of them were active in taking wickets today and among them Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj contributed brilliantly with their each three wickets. I think Sri Lanka will not be able to win if India has this position in the upcoming third ODI match.

Zimbabwe showed a very good performance in today's match. Zimbabwe did well today in both bowling and batting. Zimbabwe won this match by 5 wickets. But I thought at first that the runs Ireland scored were not the right runs to win them. But Ireland will perform so poorly. I didn't think that.
It was never going to be possible for Ireland to defend the score they scored. Even a score of 200 is not safe in T20 cricket at the moment, so it is not fair to expect that you can win a match by scoring just 113 in your first innings.
There was a bad performance on the part of Ireland, and a good performance on the part of Zimbabwe. In fact, Zimbabwe had a very effective all-round performance throughout the match. In the end, Zimbabwe was able to secure a comfortable victory. In order to remain in this series, Ireland will have to win the next match if they wish to stay alive.
I thought Sri Lanka would score at least 300 runs but they lost all their wickets for just 216 runs. But on the other hand, India has not been able to play very well. Their run rate per over is almost the same as Sri Lanka's. But India is playing to save their wickets. So they can be expected to beat Sri Lanka. But I expected a better game from India but I don't see their performance accordingly
Sri Lanka might've scored atleast 280+ runs. Fortunately Sri Lanka kept losing wickets. Sri Lanka ended its innings at 40th over losing every wickets. Sri Lanka gave Good pressure, but the performance from KL Rahul at the right time helped India win the match. If not this could've been a losing match for India. The bowling from India is really good and I expect this to continue with the upcoming matches against New Zealand.The problem is Sri Lanka was not even able to play the whole 50 overs. Sri Lanka finished their innings with 62 balls left. That is certainly not good. And the score was never going to be enough for Sri Lanka to beat India.
As expected India reached the target quite easily. But India also lost 6 wickets in that process. I believe that if Sri Lanka was able to play the whole 50 overs they could get enough score on the board to actually win because this was not a batting track.

Srilanka won the toss and opted to bat first. A good decision as haze might play a role in the second half. Also the temperature tends to suddenly drop at night. I will not be easy for the Indian batters to chase the target set by the Srilankan batters. Any target which is 250+ would be good on this field.
Srilanka only managed to score 216 runs which isn't going to be enough. Nuwanidu Fernando made 50 runs before he was run out. The middle order batsmen failed and therefore they were not able to score big runs in the end.
Now India has scored 122 runs with four wickets down. The only chance for Srilanka to win here is to take some quick wickets. Otherwise India will easily win this match. India only require 3.5 runs per over from here onwards. Should be an easy win for them.
It does not matter in the end, if India played with the similar run rate as of Srilanka. When they know that they had to chase only 216 runs, so why they need to score at high rate ?
In the end, it is the result which matters the most and result is that India has won this match and also have won the series against Srilanka.
In today's match, Indian cricket team performed very well both in terms of batting and bowling. In this match, Indian batsman KL Rahul played the entire match with a lot of responsibility. KL Rahul scored 64 runs off 103 balls. Indian Cricket Team defeated Sri Lanka Cricket Team by 4 wickets. I am very happy to enjoy this match today

Sirlanka tried to put some pressure on India at start and tool 4 wickets but now KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya build a partnership and brought India more towards win . Now although 5 wickets are gone but still they are very much in game.
