India and Sri Lanka to chase 300 plus scores on same day

It was tough day for the bowlers of the 2011 world cup finalists. Yes I am talking about India and Sri Lanka, both these teams play their respective ODI matches today against England and Australia respectively. Firstly Aussies batter very well against Sri Lanka, posting a total of 305 runs. Sri Lankan team in return made a mesh of the chase and they are already struggling at 194 with all the specialist batsmen gone back to pavilion. They already have lost 8 wickets in 40 overs thus they only can delay the loss and lessen the defeat margin.

Now if we take a look at match between India and England, this was one of the most solid batting display I've every seen by England team. They have posted 325 runs and India needs to score one run more to win the match. Given the form of team India its unlikely they will cross 250 runs today.

Indian cricket team is all set to chase the target of 326 in few minutes from now. So lets finish your tasks quickly and watch the team India batting.

Good luck to both the teams.

Cricket Matches Today - ODI cricket Match Update

Today two cricket matches are scheduled to be played. One Between Australia and Sri Lanka and then second one between India and England.

Australia vs Sri Lanka Match today: The match between Australia and Sri Lanka is being played right now at Melbourne. Australia won the toss and decided to bat first. So far the Aussie team have a good start of the match and they are on the way to post a competitive total on the score board. The debutant batsmen Phillip Hughes  got a good start and is playing currently at 84, I predict he is all set to create a record for highest score on debut for Australia and in case he score more than 115 today, then he can set to records i.e. highest debut sore for Australia and highest debut score against Sri Lanka. Good luck for this young left handed batsmen. As you can see over the live score board widget above 31 overs have been bowled and Australia have scored 156 runs for the loss of 2 wickets.  Stay tune to this blog for more updates.

India Vs England Match Today: Match between India and England is scheduled to start at 12 noon IST, which is about one hour from now. Indian team has rested Virender Sehwag cause of poor form, they don't have any Tendulkar either. Cricket experts are calling for M S Dhoni to quit captaincy. They have lost test, ODI and T20 series recently at home. So its not predictable if declining team India can do some good performances in the ODI series or they are on the way to loose one more. We have to wait and watch for the three matches at least. However I pray that series must be live till the last ODI which in on the 27th Jan at Dharamshala, the lovely stadium with snow laid mountains in the background.

Pakistan got a good start in the second ODI agains India

Indian team made a change and replaced batsmen Rohit Sharma with All rounder Ravinder Jadeja. As per M S Dhoni the Indian cricket team captain the change was made in order to strengthen the team bowling. We'll get to knwo in nest 3-4 hours if the change will do team India some good or not.

Indian team won the toss today and decided to bowl first. Being invited to bowling Pakistan openers are batting beautifully and Pakistan team looks all set to put a strong total on the board.  So fat the openers have added 98 runs in 16 overs. Only Ishant Sharma is balling well,remaining Indian bowlers are looking ordinary for the moment.
