Must win Match for West Indies - India vs WI Third ODI

After defeat in the test series, West is on the verge of loosing the one day series against India as well. To keep their chances in the series West Indies need to win the third ODI match that will be played at Ahmedabad.

For India it's time to keep the momentum going and carry on the series win with a clean sweep. Let see what happens tomorrow, we will bring you updates from the match :).

For West Indies team the matter of worry is that they are unable to finish the match on winning end, both the ODI matches they lost were close matches and had the West Indies bowler been able to keep the pressure on the strong middle order batting line.

To win the third ODI west Indies strongly need a very good score to defend and make sure they can build pressure on the batsmen and not give easy singles that became the main cause of loosing the match.

One man who I think can help WI win the match in K Pollard, he definitely need to get a good start to finish the game for his team.

Cricket Updates & Preview of third One Day Match India Vs England

It was nice to see ex-captain Ricky Ponting opening batting for Australia along with Michael Hussey in the first ODI of the one day international cricket match series between South Africa & Australia. Ricky Ponting is playing a good knock at the position he rarely plays and currently batting not out at 61 with Australian score board saying 157/2 in 26 overs.

And the latest update is that Ponting got out at 63 runs, will update more about this live match later. Just keep and eye over scoreboard.

Sri Lanka on the other hand is on back foot after a brilliant bowling by Pakistan bowlers on first day and very brilliant batting by Pakistan batsmen on second day.

Now coming to India vs England ODI series, India is already leading the series 2-0 and may be looking to win the series in Mohali tomorrow but Mohali pitch has something to offer for quick bowlers thus if England win the toss they can keep the series alive.

Cricket Updates & Preview of Second One Day Match India Vs England

Its a memorable match when you win by the batting efforts of batsmen number 8 & 9 however its very disappointing when you loose after picking 8 wickets and there are still around 60+ runs required by the opposition in a twenty twenty match. This is the beauty of the twenty twenty cricket, any player can turn to be a match winner. Same was the story of second T20 match between Australia and South Africa.

South Africa won the second T20 match and thus leveling the T20 match series 1-1. However the both team will now play each other in the 5 match one day series followed by 2 test matches. Below are the fixtures for the same:

Bangladesh Vs West Indies ODI series: Though Bangladesh managed to score 200+ runs are loosing 3 wickets for less than 5 runs but that score wasn't enough and they lost the match along with the series. Bangladesh is now 2-0 behind in the 3 match series and the last match on 18 i sthe one they can play for a consolidation win and to go positive into the test match series against West Indies.

India Vs England 2nd ODI: Though India won the first one day match by a big margin there is still a long way to go in the series and England can bounce back any time. One thing is guaranteed if England didn;t manage to win the second ODI cricket match tomorrow at Delhi, then the series lost is impossible to save.

Just wait and watch the live score action tomorrow, hopefully we will got to see a great match here.

India Vs England Second ODI Match

For the first time since team India landed in England it looked like they gave a team performance and team India was in a strong position in the match at the time rain abandoned the match resulting both teams will head to the second one day international match 0-0.

Debutant Rehane played a nice knock of 40 runs and this guy may be part of the dressing room for a long time. Parthiv Patel may not be a regular members of the Indian cricket team now a days but if you look at his performance in the last couple of series in which he has played around 11 matches this once wicket keeper batsmen for team India has played 4 50+ inning and a couple of 30 and 40+ innings all in the opening slot. Perhaps he is a good alternate in case M. S. Dhoni got injured or ruled out of the team due to poor performances. Also it was a sad to see this batsmen falling 5 runs short of his maiden century, perhaps there is a more better time for it to come.

Parthiv Patel during his knock of career best 95 runs.

Injuries are consistent for India and now Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma got injured and its not sure if any of them will feature in the second ODI tomorrow.

India Vs West Indies 5th One Day International Match Live

As I predicted in my last post , West Indies team played excellent cricket just to save their pride. West Indies won the match with more than 100 runs, a match where they have nothing to loose.

Even today they face the similar position, with nothing to loose and the fact that if they win this match they can get ready for the test matches in a positive frame of mind. For team India it was only the failure of the middle order that cost them the match as nothing can be expected from the current top order, they have failed ot give a positive start in all the matches so far.

As far as Chris Gayle playing for West Indies is concerned, 85% posibilty is that Chris Gayle cricket career for West Indies is over, though he can play in domestic T20 matched of various countries like Andrew Simmonds is doing.

4th One Day Match India Tour of West Indies

India has already won the tournament and is leading the 5 match series with 3-0. Thus many of the visitors this may not be a match worth watching, but realty is that the remaining 2 matches of the series will be more interesting than the previous 3.

Reason number one both the teams will have their own targets for the rest 2 matches, West Indies team will have to play to save the pride of the country and India will play for a clean sweep thus they can take the revenge of home series clean sweep defeat of the 70s.

Also we can expect many changes in the playing eleven from both the sides. Soon we will also launch a Cricket quiz, keep visiting for more updates.

India Vs West Indies Match 2 live

Lots of improvement areas for both the teams. Though Indian team managed to win the T20 match and the first ODI, the team top order (opening batsmen specially) failed on both the occasion. It was depth in the batting that saved the team along with the bowling. But think of the scenario when West Indies team post a competitive total then a top order disaster will be enough for the defeat.

West Indies team is bowling well but they need to learn the art of playing spin and for that they need specialist like Chris Gayle and Pollard to strengthen the batting line up.

The second ODI will be enough to tell us what the result of the ODI series would be.

India Vs West Indies - First One Day Match Live

India won the first match and will be looking forward to success in their first series after world cup win. But if we go by the stats from the last match then it won't be easy for team India to win today's match and series easily. Batting which has been strength of team India looks little inexperienced and as we have seen in the T20 match between India and West Indies the top order didn't gave an expected start.

However in bowling team India can rely on the spin attack which is a weak point of West Indies batting. They never look comfortable playing spinners. Good news for West Indies team is that players like Bravo, Pollard and Chanderpaul are back in the team which will add to the experience of the team.

Lets catch all the action from few minutes from now.
