Kiwis Look to Sweep as Pak Seek to Level

                Both teams would have been quite disappointed with the way the 2nd ODI ruined by rain, now they move on to Auckland to make the stats look goood for either sides.
                 Kiwis likely to continue their prolific form in their home backyard and hope to be fresh enough for the  series against Australia in the next month. On the other face of the coin Pakistan look for some pride in leveling the series in the ground where they had some success in this series and in the past.
              Shoaib who missed the 1st ODI likely to feature at Auckland, his presence will strengthen the middle order and also their spinning vow's. Meanwhile Brendon McCallum hopefully to come back to the side if he is fit enough to play.
               Although both teams struggled a bit with the bat in  Wellington, they hope for a better performance from their players. The lively pitch at Auckland will test the batsmen and with shorter boundaries it's important to set the fields accordingly.
              It's important for the Pakistan team to  have a win under their belt while leaving New Zealand, but it will be hard to beat the red hot Kiwis. They need to come on top both with the bat and ball in leveling the series.
               

              

Aussie Hope to Come Good at Pink Sydney

             Having been won the first 2 T20's in a convincing fashion India seek to keep the momentum right up there to clean sweep in Austrian soil. It's not only going to be just  Cricket at Sydney, this time around it's going to be all pink in the ground for awareness on cancer.
              While coming back to Cricket, Australian's poor form in T20's continues with out a settled team every time, although it got reasons behind it this time around. Australia had experimented some new faces but they not able to capitalize on the chances given to them.
               Finch's hamstring hurts team a lot on longer run but the replacement by Khawaja who is in prolific form of his career would like to change the fortunes of the hosts in Sydney. Although Aussie got to deal with spin better to take some pride to their name.
                The top three looked in prolific form for India and the middle order not yet tested coz of the situations. Ms likely to go with an unchanged side to sweep the series, Mean while the stand in captain Watson as work to do, to lift the moral up even with the few resources that he can able to access.
              At Sydney it won't be any different if Aussie shatter against spin, with slowing of the pitch so far in the series they got to handle it at their best to come good at the end.   
              

Transformed England Will Hope to Continue

            The Proteas may have shattered by the English men in their  home backyard by 2-1 in the longer format, but One day Cricket is altogether a different story for them in recent times when compared with test Cricket.
               They are going with some sort of confidence in to the ODI series after the last test and beating India in their own backyard given them more stability in  ODI Cricket. But the only thing they are  lacking in this format is the absence of seam bowling all rounder in the squad and they hope Morris to fill it in this series.
               On the other side the English men are growing in confidence in either form of the game after their unsuccessful run at world cup in 2015. It would be two different sides when compared with performances later the tournament and before.
                ODI specialist return to the side with Morgan leading and some new emerging players in the squad will make a good contest between the teams. Although the Proteas are more experienced side than England and playing at home also gives them the edge in this format.
                But it's not going to easy for the Proteas to take on the English team with potential match winners in the sides with lites of Buttler, Morgan will add strength in the ODI Cricket.

Spin To Win, To Stay In the Hunt

              Of late India had found some momentum in the tour by wining their last ODI at Sydney and opening with a win in T20's gave them a lot of confidence to built on a combination ahead of world T20.
                  Ms Dhoni got some depth in his bowling which he doesn't had during the ODI's  on the other hand the Aussie had more depth with the bat but failed to chase an above-par score.
                The strength is back in the Indian groves with spinners coming in to play with end of the season in Australia where the surfaces used to be a bit slower than normal at this time of the year. This made the Aussie to work hard to hit boundaries with large distance to get over.
                At Melbourne with the absence of their in form players of the year set to miss the last two T20's. The inexperience of playing spin in the middle will be tested with new faces in the middle order.
                India showed better performance than Aussies in all the departments with lack of genuine wicket takers in the Australian squad made them to be a depleted attack in the series so far. Batting hasn't been easy with spinners coming in to play of late in the series, the result of the match will be depend on the Aussie batsmen countering the spin.
                With the series in line at Melbourne the Aussie hope to come back hard to stay in the context and at the other side of the game India seek to capitalize on the absence of in-form players.

A Wicket Taker Should be Economical Enough

          Twenty20 is more than an batsmen game than what actually it is. There will be runs all the time at both ends of the game ,but what makes to get over the line ?  Do bowlers really out of the context with minimum overs to play with maximum players to bat ?
           Although bowlers as a tough going in this format at the same time it gives some advantages to the bowlers for the same reasons. In order to be a wicket taker in this format. A bowler not only should possess the nagging habit of picking wickets but at the same time should be economical enough.
            Compared with ODI's where a bowler is not supposed to be  economical all the time to be a wicket taker, but in T20's runs per wicket as a huge impact on the game. The stats revival the same, to be consistent enough in this format a bowler need to be economical enough.
            
               
           

India's Pride Lies On Assistance To Spin

               The first edition of bilateral series being won by the hosts in an un challenged fashion against the visitors, now they move forward to clean sweep it. As Smith points more improvement in all departments.
                India on other side lost the matches mostly due to the inconsistent pressure built by the bowlers in middle and death overs and also helped by the fielders to make it worse. But batting too need some improvement at the death.
                As India look for pride both teams move to Canberra for the fourth ODi of the series. India would be hoping for some help to the spinners on the flat pitch, which as proved to be slowed down as the game progress.
                It also make sense by the addition of Nathan Lyon to the squad,India would look to replace Ashwin back in the playing XI in place of Rishi Dhawan. But it will also fires back if the spinners won't get any assistance from the wicket.
                The hosts are formidable with the batting and in fielding so far and they look to change things when it comes to bowling. They are desperate to make an statement at home with their un beaten streak in last 17 ODI's.
                 India as to make big Stride's forward to take some pride by wining the next two ODIS. Although it won't be any easy to pick up wickets of the Aussie with their surface bowling to dig deep in to the  depth of their batting.
                But it will be a good  contest to watch out for, if the wicket produce some assistance for the spinners.
               
                 
              

Spinners on Radar A Head of Gabba

         Given that India depend more on spinners unlike other subcontinental teams,where the results depend more on the pacers in these conditions. India as a tuff job going a head of 2nd ODI.
         The wickets are so flat and they are carpet made for the batsmen once they set in. with no assistance for the spinners. It's time on, to take a move forward in leveling the series.
          On Friday with forecast playing a part it's important that India should opt for extra seamer, but Ms doesn't think so. The two spinners formula will be questioned if they don't turn around with good performances.
        

India Need To Find Solutions In ODIS

       The squad picked to the tour of  Australian as lot do with the problems India face outside subcontinent. It can go either way but India need to try and give chances for the young allronders in playing XI. It's important that everyone gets a go to add the depth in the squad for the future ODi tours.
         Gurkeerat singh mann and Rishi Dhawan picked in the squad as batting and seam bowling allronders respectively. As India searching for an seam bowling allronder from a long time and also the concerns made by MSD about lack of depth in the batting and bowling options.  It's time to take a move straight away.
               Binny who as been part of the squad in 2014-15 hasn't been consistent enough to hang in the squad. But this particular series will be key for Rishi Dhawan to prove himself at the highest level of the sport. Where conditions unlike to subcontinent and he does get good help from the surfaces that will be provided by Cricket Australia for first 3 ODIs.
            For a long time Dhoni have gone with Jadeaja or axar and Ashwin in playing XI even outside subcontinent. But he should try the other way to find the solutions to the problems India face when they tour  outside subcontinent.
            As India go with 3 seamers  and Ashwin in the squad, the No.6 and No.7  spots will be in focus in the series. Given the form of jadeaja and axar in the south African series and in domestic circuit they have an healthy competition in the squad between them and  also with young allronders.
              But on other side of the story India need to find the solutions for the finisher and the seam bowling all rounder,which they are facing from a long time,to improve their game at the death both with the bat and ball.
              India should start their squad building to the T20 world cup only after the completion of ODIs, as they play few more T20's against srilanka and in Asia cup. Players like Gurkeerat singh mann and Rishi Dhawan should be a part of playing XI at least in 2 ODIs of the 5 match ODI series. If it doesn't happen the selection as no meaning to it in picking them in the squad.
