In this match, the best performance was given to the Mumbai Indians team in terms of batting by Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver Brunt, both of whom had a long partnership. Due to the good performance of these two batsmen, the Mumbai Indians team was able to give a target of 213 runs, put more pressure on the opposing team and in the end, the Mumbai Indians women team applied the pressure of bowling.

In the next few days, we will see the competition between New Zealand and Pakistan, if we talk by analyzing the latest tournament performances of both teams, then Pakistan has been so poor this time, they were hosting it. They did not win even a single game due to the lack of key players. However, on the other side, we have New Zealand who played the final game of the Champions Trophy, which is a pleasant thing for them but sadly lost the final. Also, for this series we have primarily new players and a few old players who also played the Champion's Trophy.
Not only in the team New Zealand made changes in their squad as compared to the last ICC event, Pakistan also gave a chance to their new players, which is quite a good decision.
In the same last trophies, their performance is slowly collapsing and I think the worst time is here. So, giving a chance to new players and bringing new talent up from domestic can be a good sign for the team and may this idea bring light to the Pakistan team. However, what management and others do, I am pretty sure in the next 10 years no ICC trophy is likely to be played in Pakistan again.

Today, the first ODI match between India and England is being played, and in the first innings, England team scored 248 runs and was all out. England team will not be able to win against India with this small target. India's batting performance is already excellent and they are moving forward to win. Since England team lost badly in the T20 series, it is understood from the play of the first day's ODI match that England may lose this series against India as well. If they have to play a competitive game against India, then the England team will definitely have to perform well enough and strengthen their game.
Yes, India's had an outstanding start to the ODI series, won the first match by 4 wickets against England. indian team chase down the target of 251 runs in a loss of just 6 wickets and lead the series with 1-0. The man of match award goes to Shubman Gill played an amazing inning of 87 runs from just 96 runs, unfortunately missed a well deserved century by 13 runs short but his performance assisted India to chase down target very easily. Saqib Mahmood and adil Rasheed both spinners picked 2, 2 wickets. Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel both players also played responsible inning scored half centuries. The England team was 50 to 60 rims short in the target. If the target was 300 plus then match results will be different. In today's 2nd ODI match between India Women vs Ireland Women, India Women team came out to bat and set a target of 370 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 50 overs. Ireland Women team could not perform well in batting in today's match due to which India Women team won today's match by 116 runs. In the first phase of the game, Ireland Women team performed poorly in the bowling line due to which it became very difficult to win this match.
Yes, it must be admitted that in this second match, the bowling side of the Ireland women's team was extremely bad, so the Indian women's team was able to set a sky-high target. Basically, such a big target match is rarely seen in women's sports. In this match, the batsmen of the Indian women's team have earned a lot of fame by making a great score against the Irish women's team. In this match, the players of the Irish women's team had nothing to do but reduce the target gap to meet the huge target set by the Indian women's team. However, even though the Irish women's team lost this match by a huge margin, they finished the entire innings through patience. Congratulations to the players of the Irish women's team for surviving and playing the entire 50-over game.Dhaka team lost their first 6 matches. And the team is going to win today's match. This is going to be Dhaka's first win in this BPL. In the last few matches, we have seen that Dhaka team failed to win despite batting well. Dhaka lost the first 6 matches due to the bad bowling of the bowlers. However, in today's match, the performance of Dhaka's bowlers as well as the batsmen was very good.
Dhaka's two openers Liton and Tanjid both scored centuries. Tanjid scored 108 runs from 64 balls and Liton was unbeaten by scoring 125 runs from 55 balls. Dhaka was able to give a huge target of 255 runs today. This is the highest score in BPL so far, there is no possibility of Dhaka's defeat by giving such a big target.
For the first time in this season, I can see Dhaka's bowlers bowling well in today's match. Rajshahi has collected 104 runs by losing 8 wickets in 15 overs. Dhaka will win this match by a big margin today.
Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
I do not know why sides who loses the last match when the series is already won say, that this last match wasn't important when they are being paid for every match to perform to their full potential and win for their country.
I think Sri Lanka is focusing only on test matches, because they always made a good performance in test matches since the previous year started, beaten to Pakistan and New Zealand very well that was a really unexpected results but now they are just trying to maintain good results in all formats but somehow cannot achieve it.
However, already Sri Lanka lost the series but they won the last match. At least they have something to cheer about at the end of the series but that changes nothing about the Sri Lanka's bad performance in the whole series.

The result of last ODI showed that Sri Lanka is not an ordinary side and must not be taken as for granted. Also if Sri Lankans have the potential which they displayed today then why not they showed it in first two games, why they waited for 2 consecutive loss to regain the form. Sri Lankans were in complete command of the game today, first in batting they scored 290 runs and then in bowling they didn't allowed New Zealanders to score runs. Chapman was the only New Zealanders who score runs today but his knock was not enough because of no support from other end.
The International League T20, 2025 has started. The opening match of the International League is underway. Dubai Capitals vs MI Emirates is fighting in this opening match. In this match, Dubai Capitals batted at the beginning of the game and finished the entire innings by batting and gave the MI Emirates team a target of 134 runs. MI Emirates is now batting to meet the target of 134 runs. The batting of the MI Emirates team is very disappointing. At the beginning of the batting, the MI Emirates team has lost 4 wickets for 38 runs so far. Looking at the weak batting of the MI Emirates team, it seems that the MI Emirates team will lose this match against Dubai Capitals by a huge margin. Even then, let's wait until the end of this match, and let's see what happens.

India Women's Team vs Ireland Women's Team.
India Women's Team's six-wicket "win" in today's first ODI match is very happy for me. Because I had bet on India Women's Team in today's match. In this match, Ireland Women's Team batted first and scored 238 runs in the full fifty overs. 238 runs was not enough for Ireland Women's Team to win the match against India. The performance shown by India Women's Team players in today's first ODI match shows that Ireland Women's Team players will have to create the ability to score 300+ runs to win the match against India Women's Team. Now I think if Ireland Women's Team can create the ability to score 300+ runs in the next matches, then maybe Ireland can hope to win the upcoming matches of this series.

Dhaka Capitals played five matches in this BPL, and they lost all five. Today, they are playing against Sylhet Strikers, which is another team that lost all the matches they played in this edition of BPL. So, whoever is going to win this match will be the first win for their team in this season. Dhaka Capitals has been terrible with their performance. Dhaka lost last ten matches in the last edition of BPL and the streaks continue in this season as well. I saw a photocart in facebook that their team Manager Khaled Mahmud lost the last 15 matches as a manager of a team. This sound like more than a nightmare for s sports person.
I think Dhaka Capitals is a boring team in this year's BPL. The unexpected performance of the players of the Dhaka Capitals team has made the Dhaka Capitals team unpopular. Since Dhaka Capitals performs so badly every year, I think the Dhaka Capitals team should have been organized differently for this year's BPL. Especially in terms of the foreign players of the Dhaka Capitals team, more quality players needed to be added. Regarding the foreign players of the Dhaka Capitals team, cricket fans think that maybe the Dhaka Capitals team could not bring high-quality players due to the economic crisis.Tomorrow, Ireland Women's team and India Women's team will face each other in the first match of the ODI series. It is expected that this match will start on time and will be a match to enjoy. It is impossible to say how strong a role either team will play in this first match of the ODI format until the match starts. Even then, I think India Women's team will have a chance to do something good against Ireland Women's team in the ODI match. So I am thinking of betting on India Women's team in the first ODI match tomorrow. What is your opinion on betting on India team?
In this match, Barisal team has collected 197 runs by losing 5 wickets, but this will be enough for the victory. However, the target of 197 runs is not enough for Rangpur team if Barisal team can perform well in bowling. Barisal team can win this match based on bowling alone, but Rangpur team has many aggressive batsmen.
If wickets fall in the power play, then only Rangpur team will be under pressure, if these three batsmen, Hales, Saif Hassan and Iftikhar Ahmad, the only reliable batsmen of Rangpur Riders team, get out, then Rangpur Riders team will definitely be under a lot of pressure to lose.
Rangpur Riders are in a big gap in the match due to the quick loss of Alex Helix, but they have come up a little from that place. If Rangpur's domestic players do not play a long innings, it may be difficult for them to win from the position. Rangpur is now 58 runs but they have already lost two wickets, which is why there is some doubt in the match. Because the target is very big and it will definitely not be an easy task for them to win from there. Taufiq is in good form, if he can be in the team for a little longer, then there may be a possibility of winning, but today that would be difficult. There are no good batsmen in today's squad who will be able to win against such a big score in the end. Fortune Barishal is pretty much certain to win today's match.If wickets fall in the power play, then only Rangpur team will be under pressure, if these three batsmen, Hales, Saif Hassan and Iftikhar Ahmad, the only reliable batsmen of Rangpur Riders team, get out, then Rangpur Riders team will definitely be under a lot of pressure to lose.
No doubt Fortune Barisal is a good team but this time they have to face a more stronger team Rangpur Riders if they want to grab their hands on the trophy for the 2nd consecutive time. Fortune Barisal lost only one match and that too against Rangpur Riders. It was a bad defeat by the Fortune Barisal and they looked helpless against the Riders bowlers.
Anyways, we yet to see if Fortune Barisal will again win this but they will always remember the moment when they won their first BPL title.
Tomorrow once again the Rangpur Riders are going to face Fortune Barishal, they also faced them before in the 6th match which was the second game of Rangpur Riders. I am pretty sure this time too, they will control them as they have magical players and have an amazing lead in the point table but on the other side, Fortune Barishal are also strong, having second position and had 6 points but at the end of the day no one can beat Rangpur Riders. For this reason, I predict that this will be one of the toughest matches for both teams and it will be fun to watch this match.

Second match of ODI series between New Zealand vs Sri Lanka which played at Hamilton and reduced to 37 overs due to rain having easy win for the Black Caps after winning toss Sri Lanka decided to bowl first but New Zealand starting with aggressive approach which helps them for having good target on board through Rachin Ravindra 79 from 63 balls and Mark Chapman 62 from 52 were main architected of their inning we have hat-trick for the Sri Lankan Maheesh Theekshana who ended 4 for 44 from his 8 overs.
Like the T20 series, Sri Lanka lost the ODI series. We saw Sri Lanka's weak batting in the T20 series as well. As a result, New Zealand won the first two matches of the T20 series. However, Sri Lanka's batsmen batted well in the last match and won.
Sri Lanka's batsmen could not make any advantage in the ODI series. Sri Lanka gave a target of only 179 runs in the first match. And in the second match, despite batting for a target of 256 runs in 37 overs, Sri Lanka lost by a big margin. In today's match, Sri Lanka scored only 142 runs in 30.2 overs. Except for Kamindu Mendis, no other batsman could bat well. Although they did well in the home series, the batting of Sri Lanka's batsmen on foreign pitches is very weak.
Women's Ashes 2024/25
Women Ashes are ready to start in few days time. Australia will be at an advantage in this series as they are hosting the series . Recently their men's team gave defeat to India in Australia so it is the time for women to do the same thing in their own stadium. Let's see will they re-create the performance like the men's or do something else. Three one-day games and three T20is are set to be played in this series and of course a single test match too. While you can say a tour match at the start of the series as well.
It is natural that Australia will be able to take advantage of this as their home ground. All teams get a little more public support in their home games. And the support of the fans really inspires the players. In this case, I would say this is a tough opportunity for the Australian team. However, it is difficult to say whether the women in Australia can do something great like the men. Because the women's team is not as popular as the men's team.Women Ashes are ready to start in few days time. Australia will be at an advantage in this series as they are hosting the series .

Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
The match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka has begun. The New Zealand team has won the toss and chosen to bowl first. Sri Lanka has lost some early wickets, scoring 82/4 in 20 overs. Fernando: 36* (44) Liyanage: 28* (39) on the crease have built the partnership. The New Zealand team bowlers are good with the ball, trying to keep everything under control. Sri Lanka won the previous ODI series that took place a month back, and this time it looks like New Zealand is winning the series.
In the first ODI match of New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka batting was really disappointing. The New Zealand team decided to bowl first by winning the toss and this decision was put to good use. The New Zealand bowlers bowled very aggressively from the beginning, due to which the Sri Lankan batsmen could not collect very good runs. The Sri Lankan team was bowled out for just 177 runs. The Sri Lankan batsmen should have batted more responsibly if they tried to play the whole over maybe they could have given the opposition a bigger target. Avishka Fernando scored the maximum runs for the Sri Lanka team. Avishka Fernando batted fairly well and got out for 56 runs off 63 balls. The target of 178 runs given by Sri Lanka was batted very responsibly by the New Zealand opener pair, the New Zealand team lost only one wicket to meet their target. New Zealand team won by nine wickets Congratulations to New Zealand team.Re: Test Cricket Predication and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
What's wrong with England batsman? I didn't watch the match at all, just checked the score. How they score 85 only against Ireland?
Ireland is so far in good position. Will it be the first one for Ireland?
Actually we can't say anything for sure in cricket especially if a strong team like England scores 85/10 against Ireland then surely we can't make any predictions about cricket. Again the Test match is being held between India and Australia where India were bowled out for just 185 runs in the first innings whereas Australia were bowled out for 181 runs. If aggressive teams like Australia and India have such erratic scores, imagine how weaker teams would fare.Ireland is so far in good position. Will it be the first one for Ireland?
