The first match of the ODI series between Ireland and South Africa is going to start shortly. It is impossible to say which team will win the match in today's first match as both the teams have almost equal strength. Still I decided to bet in favor of South Africa in this match today. I am hopeful that I can definitely profit from betting on this match today. You can also bet in support of South Africa in the first match of this ODI series today.

South Africa vs Ireland

Today South Africa will face Ireland in the first ODI match. Earlier the T20 series was drawn 1-1. But in both the matches we got to see good performances from Ireland players. The team performed well in the two matches and gave away big targets. Ireland set a huge target of 196 runs in the last match.

In the T20I match, the two teams performed the best, with Ireland playing the most role in bowling in the second match. The bowling performance was so good that the Ireland team won easily, and South Africa put the players under such pressure that they were forced to lose at the last minute. The result in the T20I match is tied at 1-1.



South Africa team is not in good form now. The performance of the players in particular is quite erratic at the moment. The team won easily in the first match of T20 format, but lost the second match by 10 runs. South Africa team is very experienced compared to Ireland in ODI format. However, as the performance of the South African players is very erratic, it is not certain whether South Africa will win the match. However, South Africa are more likely to win, but the match will be competitive.

Today's first ODI match will see both teams perform equally well, and the South African team can survive the moment. Because the South African team players are aware and experienced enough to perform patiently for a long time in the past matches. So South Africa team can win this first ODI match with Ireland team today, as the game of cricket is uncertain result the game can change anytime.

Australia used a good strategy here, they tried to hold on to as many wickets as they could in anticipation of rain. If England could have restricted Australia to a few more runs, on the contrary, if they had picked up one more wicket, the result would have gone in England's favour. However, in this series we saw a tough competition between England and Australia, as England did not give Australia much of a chance as England toured Australia and won the ODI series in a tough contest. If the fifth ODI match was abandoned for some reason, then the ODI series would have been inconclusive just like the T20 series.
Yes you are right Australia played carefully saving wickets because of expected rain. England missed big chance to win by not getting one more Australian player out or limiting their runs. This series was very competitive between England and Australia.
England did not let Australia win easily making games exciting. If last game was canceled series would have been undecided like the T20 series. Luckily important games were played showing the teams talent and determination.
If there are two eternal rival teams in cricket then those two teams are Pakistan and India but after India and Pakistan if there are two eternal rival teams in cricket then surely the name of Australia and England will come there too.  

England and Australia teams are almost equal in terms of competition so when there is a bilateral series or a big tournament match between these two teams we see the most excitement in these matches. Initially, England were defeated by Australia by a big margin so early on we thought that Australia might beat England by a big margin but later on England got back to their best form and came back in the series brilliantly.
However, England lost to Australia due to rain.

What a decider between England and Australia ongoing at the moment. On one hand, it looks like Australia will cruise to a series win while it looks like England can pull things back in their favor through successive wickets on the other hand.

I bet on England since the odds were extremely favorable even though it looks like they will lose this match and series. Also, why Inglis instead of Carey? Weird!

Edit: Looks like I lost my bet thanks to the annoying rain interruption. Anyway, congratulations Australia as expected.
Sad to hear you lost your bets. England would have had some chances if it hadn't rained, but the rains blew away all chances. But Australia batted brilliantly, especially early on, if Travis Head and Matthew Short had not been aggressive, the DLS system might not have led the run-rate. However, Australia eventually won the series. Best wishes to Australia for winning this very competitive series.

Most of the people here were rooting for England, and England played well.  But Australia's win was really interesting and great, although this series was very competitive between the two teams till the last moment, Australia team won the series for DLS. Anyway, both the teams in the match performed very well, but due to the rain, England's chances were further reduced. Travis Head got off to a great start, and they batted a lot early on, which led to Australia winning the series. But Australia must be congratulated that although they had a poor performance in two matches, they showed their strong performance in the last match.

If Australia could not win the toss and decided to bat in the 5th ODI match then they would not have got the chance to play accordingly. England had nothing to do in the last match due to which they defeated. However, England had a chance to win the first match of the T20 series but they lost that match. They had chances to win the match when they were able to counter a big target from Australia but the team could not win the match. I think they missed the T20 series because of the loss in that match. But we can definitely say that both the teams tried and they competed well. As a big team in cricket, the performances of both teams were good. England won the 3rd and 4th match in a row in the ODI series which were much needed and they managed to do those which made me very happy.

Markhors (Pakistan) vs Panthers (Pakistan)
Final match between Markhors and Panthers was big surprise. Markhors who played well until then struggled under pressure. Without their captain Muhammad Rizwan their batting did not go well. They lost wickets fast. Fakhar Zaman scored 46 runs but that was not enough. Panthers easily beat Markhors low score of 126 runs winning with 5 wickets left and 18 overs remaining.
Markhors relied too heavily on Rizwan leadership. Without him, they were weak. Panthers took advantage and showed their strength.
And it is also a shame for Markor because his performance was the best and highest in the entire Champions Cup matches.  But they will lose the match in the final.  They have played a lot of matches and the pressure was only to be put in this match.  They should have played full and well and won the match.  I don't like all Markur batsmen and that was my effort to lose this match.  And anyway they weren't fast enough and good enough to win the finals, but based on their performance and winning every match they should have won the finals.  Their bowler stopped the runs with great effort and good bowling and took an easy target for their batsmen and their batsmen achieved this target in 18 overs and won the match.  Markoor's batsmen should be ashamed that they had a 50-over innings in which they would have conceded a target of 122.

In the end, it was a very closely contested series. Rain interruption added to the drama and Australia emerged as the winners. But England had a lot of positives to take away. They fielded a very young squad, with a lot of players in their early 20s. Their performance bodes well for them in the future. On the other hand, Australia fielded a very ageing squad, and especially the bowlers were not in great form. Despite the series win, a lot of questions will be asked to the team and also to the selectors.

I agree with your statement. Match could be change and we could see good bowling in middle overs but DLD method can't predict that because that is only calculation and AI . But human mind don't believe that the situation of last match of Australia could be the same as empires showed that . England team gave good target and they were eligible to win this series but rain interrupted and they could not win this series but I Know actually the winner of that series is only England team because they are quality played and they always try to win every series and they did not lose heart in any match and that is big reason of their success.England bowlers could bend the match to their sides but the result was different due to rain and DLS method.

Are you talking about the last match between Australia versus England ? Then I will say that even then if there was no rain there were also high chance of winning Australian team. Because they also did great performance in that match. The way they played in that match in my opinion I think they will easily touch the target and the target wasn't at that amount which cannot be touch especially for the Australian team. Anyway we had a great innings to see in this series lucky England won two match.

Both teams were on the verge of winning the series in this match, so the team that can attack from start to finish and from both sides can only win the series.  They had a lot of chances in this match but the England team failed in that, although they scored enough runs.  But England team's dreams were shattered by rain, rain made the most difficult conditions for this match and was in favor of Australia team. Usually a few runs are collected by the Australian team players within moments and it is the most advanced in the dls method.  As a result, the dream of the England team was broken.
We are having worst end of entertaining series between two quality teams which started with the dominance of Australia as they won two early games and having good lead, but we have good fight back by England with Harry Brook and Ben Duckett done impressive job in batting Mathew Potts and Brydon Carse have good skills in bowling which helps England for having share the honour.

In last and fifth game of the series, we are having good fight which ended in Australian won on DLS, but this was balanced game through England put 309 runs, but Australian response was also impressive their top order done amazing job which helps them for having things back into control for the win Travis Head is doing good with bat and now ball which is helping his team for giving their best, but we have good personal performances from the English team as well which helps them for having good and positive end of the series.

Australia Vs England

So the day is here and England and Australia will face eachother again. They have the last match of there series and the series is at 2-2. So this is the final match which will decide that who will the series. Both teams are very strong teams. Like we saw how Australia played in the first two matches and in the last two matches England made a great comeback. So I hope England will continue this performance and win the match. But Australia will give a tight time. So let's wait for the match and let's see who will the match.
Yesterday this ODI series of 5 games were ended between Australia team and England team and 5 th last game was also played yesterday and before start of this game, this series was tied with equal wins 2-2. England performed quite well in last two game 3 rd and 4 th they beated quite poorly Australia team. But in 5 th game, Australia team bounce back in series and beated England team and won the series. Head was received player of game award because he played quite good in bowling and batting and He made 31 runs in 26 balls and in bowling, he took down 4 wickets in 6.2 overs. England set quite competitive runs 309 to Australia team and due to DLS method, Australia team chased the runs and won game by 49 runs. Short batted great in opening and he made great half century for Australia team and helped a lot to win this game. His century was wasted from England side B.Duckett and he made 107 runs in 91 balls and hitted thirteen 4s and two 6s. Congratulations Australia for playing intense series and at last you deserve win by showing brilliant effort in entire series.

Markhors (Pakistan) vs Panthers (Pakistan)

Anyone here in this thread who watched final match of Champions One-Day Cup competition which was finished yesterday among Markhors squad against Panthers squad.

If we see the stats of Markhors squad, this squad displayed strong performance in previous matches and defeated every single squad and maintained their first position on standing table. Markhors squad has begun this final match first with Batting Inning and their batters quickly lost their wickets without disturbing the bowlers of panthers squad and biggest loss of Markhors squad in final match is that Muhammad Rizwan did not participate and didn't play this final match without his great Captaincy yesterday Markhor squad faced very bad defeat with low quality scores in first inning. From Markhors squad side no one was able to play long innings except Fakhar Zaman he expressed some support by managing 46 scores. 126 scores was so simple to achieve and Panthers squad simply achieved it with no burden of any high scores and no burden of balls and wickets. With loss of 5 wickets and playing 18 overs all scores of Markhors squad were achieved and Panthers squad emerged victory.

England team managed to score 309 runs in the first innings against Australia which resulted in a target of 310 runs for Australia. Australia knew in advance that there was a possibility of rain on the field so they had to put up a score in the first 20 overs that would keep them ahead of England if the match was abandoned due to rain. 

Australia managed to perform exactly as they planned against England. Australia managed to score 162 runs against England in the first 20 overs with eight wickets in hand and when it rained at the end of the 20 overs and there was no sign of the rain stopping, the umpire decided the result of the match in favor of Australia. That is, Australia won the last t20 match against England by 49 runs to defeat England by 3-2 in the series

This is getting ridiculous, ICC should definitely do something about this rain situation. Big and important matches are getting decided by the DLS method. This is a method which I think is not the best suited in this day and age. I think it is better to just keep a reserved date if there is rain. But I guess when one innings has already been played, you cannot do much. Just think about it. Chasing 310 in 50 overs with 10 wickets in hand is a lot harder compared to chasing 117 in 20 overs with 10 wickets in hand.
Yes, You are right there is alot of improvement is needed in DLS method because its give more benefits to that is chasing the target. Australia won the series by winning the final match of series. I think it's bad luck for England because England scored a huge total 300 plus runs on board. Ben Duckett batting performance is amazing scored a well deserved century. If rain didn't stop play then England have enough chances to win match because a target of 300 plus runs is not easy for chasing any team. The Player of The Match is Travis Head for his all round batting and bowling performance. in bowling he picked 4 important wickets by just giving 28 runs while in batting Travis head scored 31 runs.

Sorry for your loss but I don't think it wouldn't also right that blaming the rain only for the lost in this match because the way England recover in the third match the same way Australian team was having to recover this match after losing two matches. I said this because the way Australian batter are performing in this match if they can continue till to the 50over then their run could be around 400 if they batted first. So in today's match Australia make the performance that they will be able to beat even the target on 400. Anyway good enjoyable seires thank to both team players.
Yes Rain affected match but it is not only reason Australia lost. England came back strongly in third match and Australia could have done same. Yesterday Australia batting was great and exactly they could have scored around 400 runs if they had played full 50 overs. They showed they could catch up to big score.
Both teams played well in this exciting series. Australia never gave up and England kept fighting. Even with rain series showed excellent cricket skills and fans should praise players hard work.

I guess I am just a little annoyed to see that a match which is decider is being played in this way. I don’t know if other people will agree but I definitely think that the DLS method takes away the competitive integrity from certain matches.

DLS method is not new to cricket and teams know very well about it. The matches that are affected by rain are usually decided by the DLS method and both the teams playing know about it and they prepare the game accordingly. Yes, one team do get an advantage due to DLS while other team is at a disadvantage but we cannot say that the match results based on DLS are not fair. Also, not every match can have a reserve day and we should consider DLS as a part of cricket rules for deciding the games that do not get enough time to play the full 50 (for ODI) or 20 overs (for T20).
