The current score of India is 101-1 in 18.4 overs and virat and dhawan are looking pretty good again but today I believe India will chase this target down. Expecting a big innings from virat kohli today. He is betting at 35 but looking very comfortable right now. Dhawan also looking good for a century.

Dhawan is gone after playing his part of 61 runs. Now Pant is there with settled batsman Kohli. India are no doubt favorite at the moment but they should not relax as they still need 170 runs on 162 balls. SA need to get rid of kohli as soon as possible to win the match else it will be impossible to win the game.

India versus Bangladesh under 19 is going to be a really interesting match because India will look to get their revenge from that final loss against Bangladesh.
As we all know there had been a lot of talks and toxicity surrounding that match and if you players also got banned. Even though the bans were not too serious as they are only 19 years old. But they should be careful about that form the next time. Regardless of any stats and any other opinion, I would back Bangladesh to win this match.
My prediction for these matches are, Bangladesh, Australia, Sri Lanka, and England to be the winners.
I do not agree with these predictions because right now situation is not easy for any team and on his day any team can give good performance. With their last matches performances I am feeling any team can qualify for next round because these youths are doing very good specially Indian batting is on top, and they are really hard to beat specially for team like Bangladesh.
It's gonna be hard for Bangladesh obviously because India is a much much stronger team compared to them and they are also in the form right now. So it's gonna be really hard but I still think if Bangladesh can play their best game they will beat India. And they are also motivated.


All matches could be very interesting Pakistan vs Australia is also a body game as Australia lost against Sri Lanka and Pakistan is coming after winning all matches Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan is also very interesting matches, but I am posting here my predictions for winning teams England, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India these can win and qualify for next round.
But we have to remember that Bangladesh is also playing really well. India the last match they beat UAE by 9 wickets. I am not saying that UAE really strong team and can perform like India but that must give Bangladesh a lot of confidence and hope that they can carry it forward. And about the other prediction, I have to say it is quite thoughtful and reasonable.

South Africa has lost 5 wickets and if they lose one or two more quickly, it will be hard for the South Africans to reach 270+. I will not under estimate this Indian team especially when they have already lost the series and have no pressure on them. Indian can chase any target in this match as they will play freely without the pressure to win the match.

India have played and lost each match freely. For India, defeat is now a daily occurrence. In today's match, if the Indian bowlers could have bowled tidy in the last 10-15 overs, they would have had a chance to hold South Africa to 250 runs. They were too late to take Kock's wicket. As a result, a huge target of 288 runs is now in front of India.
India has scored 61 runs in 13 overs, but they have lost the wicket of Captain Rahul.

Afghanistan vs Netherlands
Is anyone watching the match? Today's Afghanistan has given a target of 236 runs. Afghanistan set a target of 223 in the first ODI, but they still won by 36 runs. However, winning today's match is becoming a bit difficult for them. The Netherlands scored 144/3 in 38 overs. Scott Edward is unbeaten on 86 runs. The Netherlands need 94 runs from 72 balls to win. Although the bowlers of Afghanistan are experienced, their performance today was not very good. But I still hope Afghanistan will win this match too.

With the help of de Kock and Dussen, South Africa has been able to give India a huge target of 288. Considering the performance of the last two matches, 287 runs is enough to win. However, South Africa will not be in the safe zone. India's batsmen may be irregular, but every batsman is very talented. So the African bowlers must perform well to win the match. If Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan can get these two batsmen out quickly, then maybe the match will be under the control of the South African bowlers.

After taking the decision to retire from Test Cricket Quinton de Kock is in exceptional form in the ODI and he score a century in this match and they reached a total of 287 runs and it is going to be a huge task for the India batsman to reach the target. It all depends upon how the openers will perform as the middle order is the weakest and if the openers give a good opening, then there is chance they could chase this total.
287 is the score that India scored in the previous ODI. South Africa reached the target with 11 balls left losing just 3 wickets. This means it is an reachable score. Based on the openers performance the match can be determined. Also if the openers give a good start, the same needs to be carried forward or else the scoring gets disturbed. This could increase the pressure on the match end. Anyhow India will be under pressure to mark atleast a win in South Africa.

De kock and Rassie van der Dussen are the star of this inning, rest of team just collapsed in front of Indian bowling line up. 287 is a big target but still very much in reach of Indian batting line up who desperately need a win to avoid a whitewash. I don't know what odds are, I believe SA is favorite for this game.

There is still a lot of time for the next IPL. By that time, the situation of covid variants will be clear. If the virus is outspread in India at that time, most probably it would be better to delay the IPL rather than to play it without the international players. Secondly, i am not worried if the Indians were not able to play well in this series. They will regain form in the next series for sure.
Right now India as well as most of the other countries are witnessing a huge spike in the number of COVID cases. And if the projections come true, then by the end of next month the spike will end. IPL is scheduled to start by the end of March, so I guess there is enough time for the BCCI to arrange the tournament. But as we have seen on several occasions for the last two years, it is very difficult to predict the course of the pandemic. New waves appear in the horizon whenever there seems to be a lull in the number of new cases.
The increase of COVID cases are experienced all around. Within India slowly the restrictions and Sunday lockdowns were getting importance. There is decline in the cases in some zones whereas to experience a complete relief out of the pandemic won't happen anytime soon. This means people are getting adopted to the pandemic and are moving the life forward. So, this time there is very less chance for the IPL reschedule.
IPL won't get rescheduled this time as the third wave peak is expected to come by February and after that cases will be very less. IPL is scheduled in the month of April by that time things will be very different. This time only few states are reporting COVID cases compared to last time where every state was facing problem. This might be because some states have already achieved 100 percent 1st phase vaccination for the required age group.

Man, I don't know, I really don't think that players should compromise their health and safety in this case. We have all seen how dangerous coronavirus can be.
And I also know that the BCCI will obviously want to continue the IPL somehow. If the cases are very less around the month of April then it's okay but even then the players all need to be vaccinated and proper caution should be taken. Otherwise, there can be some serious concerns.
And if the coronavirus situation is really uncontrollable by that time then I don't think it's a good idea to continue with the IPL regardless of the players being vaccinated or not.

South Africa vs India

It's 3rd and the last match of the series. India won the toss and was elected to field. I don't want to bet on India's victory anymore. Batsmen are not regular, moreover, Indian bowlers are not doing well on such a pitch.
South Africa has scored 42 runs in 8 overs, but they have already lost their 2 wickets. However, opener de Kock is still at the crease with 27 runs. If he stays at the crease, South Africa will be able to give big targets.

South Africa's collection is now 130, of which Quinton de Kock is scoring 78 runs. The batting of today's match in South Africa looks like the batting of India in the last few matches. Top 3 batsmen have been out, none of them could play well. If South Africa could somehow score 260-280 runs today. Then, as usual, India will lose today's match.
Quinton de Kock scored 78 off 83 balls, and Dussen scored 22 off 26 balls.

If was no 1 and 5th batsman that have done the job for SA, kock scored brilliant 124 before getting out. Dussen is not out on 52. Seems like SA will comfortably cross 300 as they have scored 217 runs while 78 balls are still remaining. SA must try to cross 280 from here on to whitewash weak Indian side.

South Africa has lost 5 wickets and if they lose one or two more quickly, it will be hard for the South Africans to reach 270+. I will not under estimate this Indian team especially when they have already lost the series and have no pressure on them.

Why Indians have started losing all formats of cricket against the weakest teams.  Roll Eyes
It seems they have not come out of the defeat they have faced in the cricket T20 world cup.
Why are you still dumb and stupid as usual? Anyone with a half-decent brain knows that India achieved big things in recent years(Defeating teams like Australia on their home grounds who btw almost whitewashed England in Ashes 2021-22 etc).

Their losses against South Africa across several formats were unexpected, but this obviously doesn't diminish their recent achievements. Grow up!

You want to support your Indian team and it's perfectly fine. But the world doesn't think this way. Infant the recent Indians wins against Australians were unexpected one as we have seen how they defeat England recently. India was lucky to win against Australians.

And yes, the Indian lost against South Africa was what everyone was expecting after their poor performance in the t20 world cup.

Cricket World Cup 2022 quarter-final fixtures have been announced. BAN secured their position in the quarter-finals on the final day of the group stages.

26 January – QF1 England v South Africa;
27 January – QF2 Sri Lanka v Afghanistan;
28 January – QF3 Pakistan v Australia;
29 January – QF4 India v Bangladesh ;

After defeating UAE by nine wickets in the U19CWC, Bangladesh qualify for the quarter-final. Bangladesh's 2020 team is much better than its current one; still, however it should be an exciting match.

India versus Bangladesh under 19 is going to be a really interesting match because India will look to get their revenge from that final loss against Bangladesh.

India and Pakistan are neighboring countries so they have a similar sort of environment. Even though the cases of omicron are very high in both countries but Pakistan is hosting PSL and it will be starting in less than a week. I hope the situation remains under control and we see non-stop interesting PSL matches.
Remember, last year both PSL and IPL were stopped in between and later resumed after a few months. Let's hope the same does not happen this time again.


News for PSL are not good as PCB confirmed that for PSL 2022, "Three players, five support staff test positive for Covid-19. Source espncricinfo.com". Foreign players are reluctant to travel to Pakistan for PSL, can you tell who is coming from England, NZ, Aus ?
