ODI eh? I don't remember when was the last time i watched the ODI, may be last WC idk. I didn't even looked at the tally once and only got to know about that when you mentioned this thingy sometime back. Anyway it's good to see that smaller boards are also getting bilateral series, we need more of that as it's still not enough, specially from PIG-3.
I have the same opinion. Bilateral series is only for hardcore fans. People like me prefer either ICC tournaments, or triangular/quadrangular series involving multiple teams, but these type of tournaments are no longer being organized by the cricket boards. In fact, I forget when for the last time I heard about a triangular series. Previously such tournaments used to be hosted by cities such as Sharjah, Singapore and Toronto. But everything came to a halt because of the packed international calendar.
Ah i do remember some matches in Sharjah, good ol’ days.
I am also more into triangular and quadrilateral series, sad that these guys completely scrapped such series. Those series were fun to watch and engagement was also great from multiple countries and fans.
I think NZ is about to host Tri series (Nz+Ban+Pak) for t-20 if i'm not wrong
Yes as far as I know New Zealand is going to host a tri-series tournament. This tournament is going to be between New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. It is going to start on 8 October 2022, and it is going to be a T20 Series.
It has been a long since I have been interested in a tri-series but I am quite interested to see this one. it is going to be interesting to see how two teams from the subcontinent perform in New Zealand. Don't have much hope from Bangladesh, to be honest, but I do have some big hopes from Pakistan.
I say I don't have much hope from Bangladesh because the Bangladesh cricket board does not care about the Bangladesh cricket team and it is quite evident with the recent incident. I am talking about the Bangladesh cricket team going into West Indies via ferry and the players getting sick, lol.
