If Australia's opening pair doesn't break quickly, the chances of Australia winning this match are high. The target is not too big. Australian players have to play very carefully and try to stay at the crease. Australia will win this match if they don't lose quick wickets.

Australia's opening pair could not stay at the crease for long. They lost the wicket of Aaron Finch in just 2.4 overs. He returned to the dressing room after scoring only 5 runs.
Australia also lost the crucial wicket of Steven Smith in the fourth over. Australia is in trouble after losing two important wickets for just 19 runs. Trent Boult took both wickets. It is going to be very difficult for Australia to win this match. If the duo of Warner and Labuschange doesn't last, Australia is definitely going to lose this match. Because, New Zealand's bowling line-up is now very strong.

The current score is 191/6 and 44 overs have already been bowled. If the fireworks do not start now then NZ will not be able to score 250 plus runs. This match is being entirely dominated by the Australian side at the moment. I am expecting a target of 220 or 240 runs by the NZ side which according to me won't be a problem for the Australian batters.

New Zealand managed to set a target of 233 runs. Since the opposition is Australia, it doesn't seem like a big target. But don't forget that in the last match Australia team lost against Zimbabwe and lost all wickets for just 141 runs. Also today's pitch is not helping the batsmen. Batsmen face a lot of trouble scoring runs.

New Zealand V Australia

Australia won the toss and decided to field in the first ODI match between New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand scored only 77 runs in 20 overs. They scored an average of 3.8 runs per over. Martin Guptil `19 got out after collecting only 6 runs. New Zealand batsmen need to bat more responsibly. Otherwise, they will not be able to collect even 250 runs.

Jose Hazlewood bowled 4 overs and conceded just 7 runs. Adam Zampa gave only 5 runs in 3 overs. Australia's bowler's performance is very good today. Maybe the pitch is bowling friendly. I am betting on Australia to win this match.

Right now, Zimbabwe is not having any interest in this ODI Super League points table because they need good improvement in skills quality, and then they can do something better in future otherwise they will struggle for long time as they are already.

Australia vs New Zealand series is also not having any impact on these both teams rating or points as both are already in better position but third series which is mentioned here India vs South Africa is very important for visitors as right now they need to improve their rating which needs to win matches in India which is not easy for them as well as Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan is also very important specially after very interesting end of matches between these two teams in Asia Cup even format was different but still look like right now both teams are having same level of quality and Sri Lanka could be under pressure as they have to win these matches otherwise they are going into qualifying round.

India vs South Africa will take place in India, and in all probability India will win the series 3-0 or at the most 2-1. South Africa has forfeited the series against Australia, so that means that they have already played 16 matches. They need 5 wins from their remaining 8 matches. If they lose by 0-3 against India, then they are done. Now coming to Sri Lanka, I don't think that they will be able to win 3-0 against Afghanistan. It will be 1-2 or 2-1. And that would mean that South Africa and Sri Lanka will play in the qualifying tournament for 2023 ODI CWC.

This win over Australia is just a wave of fresh air, Zimbabwe still has long way to go. In last ten years they have lost too much. They also won series against Bangladesh which tells the story that they are improving. Right now they are heavily dependent on Raza, more players should jump in and take responsibility.

The Zimbabwean team has several talented players. If these players are able to perform consistently, the Zimbabwean team will be stronger. Wins against Bangladesh and Australia were not easy. The players of Zimbabwe have managed this difficult task. The Zimbabwe team will become stronger if corruption within the board is reduced. A few days later they will challenge Renownade teams as well.
Can we also appreciate the other teams as well.There is so much on Zimbabwe in the forum
Afghanistan team also needed a little appreciation - also the match between Pakistan and India was an amazing match.

In recent months Raza have evolved as a player who keeps contributing good to the team and helped in winning several matches. Right now the team is slowly developing to their old position. It needs to be scheduled with more matches that can keep the players on the active form.

Zimbabwe has closed the gap with South Africa in the ODI Super League points table, but the former has zero chance of qualifying to the next stage. West Indies at 8th place has 88 points from 24 matches. Even if Zimbabwe wins all their remaining matches, they will have 75 points. Next matches are Australia vs New Zealand (which is irrelevant for qualifying) and India vs South Africa (which is very important for South Africa). For Sri Lanka, the next series is against Afghanistan and they need to win at least 2 out of the 3 matches.

But sadly ICC and their B-4 never realize this all, and they are trying to fill their pockets with better profitable series even they are losing their charm due to too matches between these teams and mostly have no good impact.
Today is India Vs Pakistan as well and they too need a bit of attention for performing well
Pakistan won the match with 5 wickets in hand. Which Indians too played very well. Well played India and Pakistan - thank you for the amazing cricket you have shown us.

It was a holly molly moment when Zimbabwe scored the winning run and that too against a strong Australian side. Ryan Burl single handedly orchestrated the Australian collapse in the middle order and he took two catches in the outfield and picked up 5 wickets and then when Zimbabwe was struggling chasing the score he contributed with the bat as well and once in a lifetime moment for him Cheesy.
They definitely had a good home season for a month or so.

Won against Bangladesh, gave an okay fight in the last match against India, and finally impressive win against Aussie.

Kind of a failure of the ICC that Zimbabwe won't get any series against India, Australia, and England for the next 4 years.
Surely here big failure of ICC as they fail to have series between top teams and weaker in four years tenure which is widening gape between big teams and lower rank teams they are not having enough chance to face them and have experience which is important for increase in quality of these countries.
 
If they can't provide window in one or two years then surely they need to work on this they much face each other in four years gape which is also acceptable because this will give big boost these small countries and youths will also have better feeling about these big countries and their players which is also having good impact on overall this game.

So, that is obviously a big difference. I also agree that the ODI super league is not the target of Zimbabwe. At least not now. The main target of Zimbabwe right now is going to be how to improve. If they can improve the team they who is then able to compete at a higher level.
Oh lala - are we still discussing Zimbabwe after the amazing match between Pakistan and India
Comeon - we have watched a wonder game tonight - Congrats to Pakistan for the win - Better luck India. You played well.

ODI Super League is defiantly not the goal for Zimbabwe at the moment. They must be looking to regain there lost place in international cricket as they were in 90s. Zimbabwe was once a strong team like Afghanistan today but in last decade they were terribly gone down in performance. Few recent wins have given hope that Zimbabwe may rise again. 

Zimbabwe closed the gap between them and South Africa in the ODI super league. But you know, Zimbabwe has played a lot more matches compared to South Africa.

Zimbabwe has played 21 and South Africa has played 13.

So, that is obviously a big difference. I also agree that the ODI super league is not the target of Zimbabwe. At least not now. The main target of Zimbabwe right now is going to be how to improve. If they can improve the team they who is then able to compete at a higher level.

Lol Zimbabwe won, this should give them some confidence and will surely help in the climb up at the ranking table.

Kind of bizarre to see an Aussie scorecard, that's some epic collapse in the same match where 1 batter scored 94 runs for the team and the rest of the team contributed only 38 runs, 3rd best scorer was Extras 9 runs.  Undecided

Even if the team is small, everyone should be given the opportunity to play with the big team. If Zimbabwe plays against big teams like Australia, England, their interest in playing will improve their skills. These should be taken care of by ICC so that all teams will become efficient in cricket.

Zimbabwe has recently won an ODI series against Bangladesh, they played a competitive match against India. Now they have won a match against Australia. Are you going to consider it as an improvement of Zimbabwean cricket team? Personally I'm surprised by these performances of Zimbabwe. They loss most of the matches very badly, but they are giving surprising result in one or two matches.
What we see with Zimbabwe is real improvement. As said, over the last few matches they're good with their performance. In the match against Australia it is something extraordinary, because Zimbabwe have defeated in their home ground. These days there is big improvement from most of the bottom order teams. In specific I see big improvement with Afghanistan and next stands Zimbabwe.
After watching today match if someone feeling some improvement is going to happen in Zimbabwe team then surely it's good joke nothing else because after having 2 big wins suddenly Australia collapse and give win to them, it's only consolation nothing else, or we can say they obliged them for having very poor time in last two matches no improvement going to happen in Zimbabwe with this win.

141 runs Warner 94 and Maxwell 19 Ryan Burl bowl just three overs and have five wickets, what a spell from this leggie career best for him and surely a proud moment as he achieves against Australia. In chase Zimbabwe lost their seven wickets Sikandar Raza have nothing positive from this series and fail against quality bowling but still good for them as they have ten points in Cricket World Cup Super League.
