Looks like West Indies will end up defeating Bangladesh pretty comfortably in the first test thanks to some great batting performances from their side primarily. Haque and Das were playing well together until the partnership just got broken.
Miraz and Das could form another big partnership, but the lead is still way too big for them to shift the momentum in their favor. Good stuff Windies!

Yes it is true that after a long time we have seen Virat Kohli play this well. Earlier, when India faced New Zealand on their home ground, Virat Kohli did not play a single innings in the three Test matches. Even in the first innings of the first test match against Australia, he had his poor performance but came in the second innings and again performed brilliantly. One of the greatest players of all time was unable to run for a long time due to which he failed to contribute to his team's victory.
All the members of the Indian Cricket Board hope that the way he scored a century in today's match, he will continue to perform well in the upcoming matches as well. India might have been waiting for Virat Kohli's century in today's match as they declared the innings only after his century.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are the two most experienced batsmen in the Indian squad. But these two batsmen have been out of form for a long time. After a long time, we got to see a big innings from Virat Kohli. Despite not batting well in the first innings, he scored 100 runs in the second innings and remained unbeaten. India scored 487 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the second innings. Despite not batting well in the first innings, the Indian batsmen batted brilliantly in the second innings.
India is definitely going to win this match. The pitch is not batting friendly, we saw this in the first innings itself. Neither India nor Australia could do well in the first innings. Although the Indian players batted well in the second innings, the Australian top order failed to do well. Australia lost 3 wickets for just 12 runs. Australia lost two important wickets of Pat Cummins and Labuschagne.

West Indies scored 250 runs for the loss of 5 wickets on the first day. I thought West Indies would be all out between 340-350 but in the end West Indies declared the innings by 450 runs. West Indies batsmen batted well with patience. Alick Athanaze and Mikyle Louis both got out unfortunately coming close to centuries, Justin Greaves batted well at the end and was unbeaten on 115 runs. Anyway, Bangladesh went into bat with a big run lead, so far Bangladesh has collected 40 runs with the loss of 2 wickets in 20 overs and the 2nd day's play is over. When the wickets of Bangladesh started to fall, wickets started to fall like a storm. The performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is not good. Bangladeshi batsmen cannot bat well with patience. I think it will not be possible for Bangladesh to score 450 runs in the first innings. Let's see how the Bangladeshi batsmen perform on the 3rd day.
It seems that Bangladeshi batters doing some recovery today because I was expected that Bangladesh team will going to lose more than 5 wicket until now but they lose only one wicket today.And the Bangladesh team currently score 95 run and they loose three wicket even then Bangladesh trail by the 355 runs so I think it could be also really hard for them to chase. I stick to the West Indies team for winning this match as well I do in the past.

India managed to score big against Australia in the second innings and Australia is still batting against India in the second innings. Australia lost three wickets to score the first 12 runs in the second innings. Australia still needs to score 512 runs to win this match against India which seems impossible to me as they have only 7 wickets left. With the way the Indian bowlers are bowling, it could be that the result of this match comes in at half time tomorrow with India beating Australia by a huge margin. When India batted in the first innings they were all out within few runs so I thought maybe they would lose by a big margin to Australia but now we are seeing something opposite.
In this match India is looking better over than Australia. India scored only 150 runs in the first innings and Australia scored only 104 runs. If you look at their other innings India played very well and scored 487 runs. Along with this, India's bowling is also going strong as Australia's batsmen have bowled only 4 overs and lost 3 wickets. If India puts in that much effort Australia will lose this match. Even if India doesn't put in that much effort they can still win this match as the target has become difficult for Australia and their wickets will also be getting out slowly. India will definitely win this match. Now it depends on Australia whether they play this match slowly and win the match or get out in a hurry and lose the match.

On the morning of the 3th day, Australian team manages to get some wickets. However Yashasvi Jaiswal 161 and KL Rahul 77 has done the takes for Indian team and now it is only a matter of time as how much runs lead the India will get and give Australia a tough target. I agree that Pitch looks better for batting but still it is not easy to chase any runs beyond 400 on the last innings even on a batting wicket.
I place my bet on India and i hope India gets a good lead here. I checked the odds for India now and they are just 1.12, i got the odds 1.90 when India wasn't on such good position
While India lost three quick wickets we have troubling time for batting, but India were in stable position because 350+ runs lead keep them at the top, and they can go without any pressure which always help they have done which allow their legendary batsman Kohli to play freely and score his another century.I place my bet on India and i hope India gets a good lead here. I checked the odds for India now and they are just 1.12, i got the odds 1.90 when India wasn't on such good position
Australian bowling were surely have troubling time due to Jaiswal and Rahul opening stand which break their rhythm and also allow Indians to fight back after having dismissal first inning batting now at the end of third day's play we have India as victorious which is surely big booster for them in this BGT because before start of this match we were having Australians as hot favourite for the win in this match and series as well, but now things are well-balanced and fans will be also had good cricket to watch in coming days.

After such a long time, finally Virat Kohli played good innings. He made a 100 not out. I was waiting for this for a long time but finally today he played in wonderful way. I think in the previous games, he cannot playing in good way because the player before him does not gave the good start to the team and when he comes in, due to the pressure and some times he lost his wicket due to the bad form but maybe the form is back now and we want this. If Virat Kohli had good start then he can also play in the pressure situation
All the members of the Indian Cricket Board hope that the way he scored a century in today's match, he will continue to perform well in the upcoming matches as well. India might have been waiting for Virat Kohli's century in today's match as they declared the innings only after his century.
November 24, 2024, 08:56:13 AM
Today too India waited for Virat Kohli's century to declare their innings. But I was hoping India would take the score to above 500 before declaring it as two whole days are more than enough to either chase a target of 500 or take 10 wickets. The current condition of Australia do make the decision look easy but I don't see much logic in declaring the 2nd innings so early. Australia getting a target of 534 runs started poor. They have already lost 3 wickets making 12 runs. Unless Australian batsmen do have miraculous innings, it seems India would be winning the test.
West Indies too declared in a similar score but its their 1st innings. Bangladesh have already lost two wickets but they are not in dire circumstances and they'll probably bat the whole of third day. Considering the slow pace of the game I think this would likely head to a draw.

I think West Indies should not need to bat again because they have already scored so high and leading the runs by more than 400 runs, it is I guess an impossible task for the Bangladesh team to chase it.
Yes, if Bangladesh would make the good start then there might be some little chances for the Bangladesh team but they have already lost their 2 main wickets at the score of just 40. The two days has already gone and I think tomorrow the first innings of the Bangladesh team might be finish or maybe second innings will be start. I don't see Bangladesh coming back in this match.
Justin Greaves hit maiden century and have 140 runs partnership with Kemar Roach helps West India for having huge target for struggling Bangladesh which is in trouble from start as they lost 2 early wickets and still trailing by 410 runs at the end of second day play with this performance look like we are heading for another big defeat for the Bangladesh which is already having troubling time.Yes, if Bangladesh would make the good start then there might be some little chances for the Bangladesh team but they have already lost their 2 main wickets at the score of just 40.

First session of the test match completely belong to Bangladesh but after this we have good fightback from West Indies, and now they have good chance of keeping themselves at the top in this test match for win Bangladeshi bowlers were not consistent which give them setback and allow West Indian middle order to have 2 nineties and 1st century.

Another century to the run-machine after what feels like eons now. I feel even 300+ would have been ideal against this Australian side which is clearly struggling against Bumrah and co.
Nitish was great too towards the end and him along with Sundar ensured that they didn't collapse yet again. What an epic start for India in this 5 match test series.
36 years old legend Virat Kohli hits 30th century which is surely having good positive impact on his future in this format as he is still capable of having few more years with good performance and skills which are giving good results to India as well things are well under control for the India 500+ is never been possible for the Australia with this batting performance against one of the best pace attack in world right now which have ability to destroy any batting lineup.Nitish was great too towards the end and him along with Sundar ensured that they didn't collapse yet again. What an epic start for India in this 5 match test series.
First day was really shock for the fans but second and third day all controlled by Jasprit Bumrah and his army at the Perth which is now set for lead in this series with win can bring them in good chance of having spot into third consecutive final of the WTC final.

India is doing very well in first Test match against Australia. They set very high target of 534 runs for Australia to catch up. At first India did not do well and lost all their wickets for only 150 runs. Australia also did not do well and only scored 104 runs. But then India batsmen did great job in their second turn. Yashasvi Jaiswal batted very well and scored 161 runs. Virat Kohli also did well and scored 100 runs. India decided to stop batting, which meant Australia had to try to catch up. But by end of third day Australia had only scored 12 runs and had lost three important wickets. It looks like India is going to win game by a lot.
By the end of the third day, it was almost certain that the match was going to be lost to Australia. After the first innings disaster, India needed to come back and they did. They are now in a position where the match has become much easier for India. I think we will not have to go into the fifth day for the final result of the match, on the fourth day we may get the final result of the match, which will be in India's favour.
Australia continued their disastrous second innings as well. After the first innings batting disaster, they failed in the bowling innings and they continued their failure in the second innings batting. They lost 3 wickets for just 12 runs and took a step towards defeat. They still need 522 runs to win, which seems impossible to me against a strong bowler like India.
November 24, 2024, 07:12:46 AM
India batted badly. Even then, the team was able to collect 150 runs. Rishab Pant was able to collect 37 runs and Nitish Reddy was able to collect 41 runs. Because of this pair, the Indian team was able to collect 150 runs. Josh Hazlewood and Starc bowled well. Josh Hazlewood took 4 wickets.
Another low innings by Virat Kohli, in the last test series, he has also not played well. Now, I think Virat Kohli should be perfom well in every single game that he plays because the first reason is he has retired from the T20I cricket and he is such a big name of the Indian team and people are very excited to see him playing. So now he can only play the Test matches and the one-day games and those people are so excited to see him play well, but he always disappointed him since the last of the series.Anyhow India have started the 2nd innings well with Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. They both have put on 84 runs without losing any wickets.
Neither Virat Kohli nor Rohit Sharma are in good form. India did not get a good performance from these two players in the last Test series. That is why an experienced player like Rohit Sharma has been left out of the squad. Even though Virat Kohli was given a chance, Kohli is not able to bat well in this series either. Kohli is not in good form. I think Kohli should retire from the Test format. Then he might be able to perform better in ODIs and T20s.
India faced a terrible batting disaster in the first innings. But in the second innings, both the Indian openers are performing brilliantly. India has already collected 97 runs from the opening pair. Jaiswal scored 48 runs and Rahul scored 40 runs and remained unbeaten.

India set a huge target of 534 runs for Australia. However, at the end of the day, Australia had 7 wickets in hand and still needed 522 runs to win. In the first innings, India lost all their wickets for just 150 runs. In response, Australia could only manage 104 runs in the first innings after losing all their wickets. Overall, it seemed that this Test match could be a draw, but with time, the scenario started to change and the Indian batsmen batted in the second innings. Due to the responsible batting of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, the Indian team was able to score the desired runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 161 runs off 297 balls and Kohli scored 100 runs off 143 balls and then they declared their innings.
At the end of the third day, Australia came out to bat and scored only 12 runs in 4.2 overs and in the process, they lost 3 valuable wickets, which made it look like Australia was going to lose to India by a huge runs.

It was treat to watch this match as an Indian cricket fan. I would have liked it better had they sent Reddy early on instead of Paddikal, Reddy looked good in both innings, could have made fifty/century given enough time, a great start for his test career. Number 8th place doesn't look right for him, send him up in the order.

Another century to the run-machine after what feels like eons now. I feel even 300+ would have been ideal against this Australian side which is clearly struggling against Bumrah and co.
Nitish was great too towards the end and him along with Sundar ensured that they didn't collapse yet again. What an epic start for India in this 5 match test series.
The fall of Australia's three wickets for 12 runs means that it cannot be said for sure whether they will be able to complete 100 runs. Australia were bowled out for 104 runs in the first innings but this time with a lead of 534 runs India put Australia in a pile of runs. The pattern of Australia's batting disaster seems very likely whether Australia can score 100 runs like in the first innings. Australian supporters will never accept that a familiar Australia will perform like an unfamiliar Australia at their home venue. Nitish was great too towards the end and him along with Sundar ensured that they didn't collapse yet again. What an epic start for India in this 5 match test series.

First test is pretty much India's at this point considering the fact that their lead has already crossed 400 and they still have 5 wickets in hand. 500+ is when they might end up declaring if you ask me.
Kohli is back in form while Sundar is supporting him nicely. Epic comeback by the Indians considering their horrendous start. Let's see if India can best the Aussies on their turf in this series yet again.

West Indies lost their seventh wicket for 261 runs. And West Indies lost their eighth wicket for 401 runs. Kemar Roach played a brilliant innings of 47 runs from 144 balls. This innings was very necessary. West Indies were able to collect a huge 140 from the Kemar Roach and Greaves pair. These two batsmen were able to bat very responsibly. Greaves is still unbeaten with 98 runs.
Bangladeshi bowlers could not bowl well in the first innings as expected. As a result, West Indies were able to collect 400+. Bangladesh team is always weak in the Test format. The performance of the batsmen is very irregular. Most of the time Bangladeshi batsmen bat badly. But suddenly in some match we see Bangladeshi batsmen bat well. I do not expect Bangladeshi batsmen to be able to take the lead in the match against West Indies.
