Cricket match prediction discussions

[Sithara007]

The day before yesterday there was a meeting between Jay Shah and Moshin Naqvi and in between some ICC senior people. PCB, ICC, and BCCI were there.
This meeting was held in the Colombo and it was based on the controversy that Pakistan hosts to Champions Trophy. So far, Pakistan is hosting this event and BCCI does not complain against this. They are coming in the Pakistan to play the Asia Cup.

Also, ICC told PCB the budget of the event and the BCCI also happy with this. ICC told if the Indian team would not come to play in Pakistan then Sri Lanka come in the event and would qualify for the Champions Trophy because nobody has issues playing in Pakistan except India but now they are also fully aligned.

This is just wishful thinking. I don't think that there is any chance of India traveling to Pakistan, to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy. Either the tournament will be shifted out of Pakistan, or held in hybrid mode (similar to what happened with the last edition of the Asia Cup). And your argument that Sri Lanka can replace India is childish. If Indian team is not participating in the tournament, then 80% of the revenue is gone and the ICC will have to compensate the media rights holders.

The Oman cricket team and the Namibia cricket team entered the field to face each other in the 17th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two. So far this tournament these two teams have faced each other in two matches where both the teams have won one match each i.e. they are evenly matched in terms of power.

However, according to the point table, Namibia cricket team is in a very strong position than Oman cricket team, they are currently at number 2. The Namibian cricket team has faced the opposition in seven matches so far in the group stage where they have won four matches which has improved their points. On the other hand, Oman cricket team's defeat rate is more than their win rate which has pushed them to the bottom of the points table.

Namibia is dependent on some of their players with franchise T20 experience - especially Ruben Trumpelmann and David Wiese. Trumpelmann has been missing for some time, and I am not sure of the exact reason. Wiese is 39 years old and I am not sure whether we will see him in international cricket anymore. The player pool is very small for Namibia. They are a country of just 2.5 million, and out of that cricket is being mostly played by German and Afrikaans speaking whites who comprise just 4% of this 2.5 million.

That is really hard for a country who is trying to improve in certain sports. They already have a very low number of people in the country. And if they are not all interested in a certain sport, or at least half of them are not interested, it is obviously going to be a big problem for them to improve in that sport.

One thing I want to mention is that, if only 4% of the people of the country are actually playing cricket, imagine what would happen if the country were very interested in this sport! 

I am not saying that the people of that country are not interested in cricket at all. However, the thing is, to be good in a certain sport, at least 30/40% of people have to think about that sport like it can be a profession. And of course, the government and also the ICC has to push cricket very hard in that country. Not only in Namibia but also in many other countries where there is a big potential of improvement in cricket. By doing that, the population of a country is most probably not going to be a problem.

Yes buddy your are right, in points table, currently Namibia sqaud is in second position and other Oman squad currently is present on 5th number. This was the first victory of Oman sqaud in this competition against by Namibia squad and previously, Oman sqaud faced two lost and with one drawn. If we compare their performance in among these sqauds, Namibia squad has much stronger than Oman sqaud in overall innings performance. Namibia sqaud has managed to collect 196 scores as a Defeating target in one day match and Oman squad bowlers this time displayed very amazing performance and played this match with full confident. But due to low quality defeating target, Namibia bowled tried very hard to defend their target and emerged victorious but at last overs Oman batters needed one scores in 6 deliveries and very simple to achieve and have lot of wickets remain for play. Anyways, this match has a very close fight among them and next match will being played among Namibia and Scotland.

I would say the Namibia and Oman teams were almost equally strong. Both these teams have some very talented players. I saw their performance. But the performance of squad players is not regular. As the players are not yet experienced enough. So this team cannot consistently perform well.

However, we considered Namibia as the favorite against Oman. But we have to admit that the Omani players performed well in this match. And Oman deserves to win this match. I thought Namibia would probably give a target of around 250. But due to the controlled bowling of Oman's bowlers, Namibia's innings stopped at 196 runs. It was not a big target. So the Oman team reached the goal of victory by losing 6 wickets. But if the target is 200+ it would be very difficult for Oman to win this match.

India will tour Sri Lanka for the T20 series and will be led by Suriya Kumar Yadav. Suriya Kumar Yadav doesn't have much experience officiating matches for the national team but this series will definitely be important for SKY. It is definitely a big responsibility for SKY because if he can do well in this T20 series and use his right technique to bring good things to the team then he will have a chance to captain the T20 format in future.

A cricket match depends a lot on the decisions of a captain. How many fast bowlers the captain will play, how many spinners will play, how many batsmen will play or how many all-rounders will play depends on the captain. Apart from this, whether the captain is able to use the bowlers properly is also a big question.

Captains who can change bowlers at the right time and use the right bowler at the right time are more successful as a team.

Yes , you are right.  Both team are of same level due to which we saw almost equal performance from them. Oman team played well and we could not compare that teams with top class teams of World. These are low team and have least knowledge of cricket as comparison to Pakistan , Indian  Australia and England. These teams should work on their skills by hiring the coach from Pakistan and Australia. If they hire the coach from Pakistan like Wasim Akram of Muhammad Mushraq , their quality of cricket will change.

We saw Saqlain Mushtaq as a bowling coach of England team and after that we saw huge difference in the performance of team .I want to clean that point, experience with skills you can improve your quality of cricket. Without learning from legends you cannot improve your quality of cricket.

We have seen most of Oman matches with Scotland.  And in this they have been defeated.  And considering his perform I favored the Namibian team.  And I also knew about Namibia's performance.  But Oman's performance in this match proved that they can also perform well.  But now, seeing their performance, Oman seems to me to be a strong team.  And if they play matches with such performance and teams, then matches will be won.  And hopefully can reach the border of the finals.  In this match, the Namibian batsmen made the target very easy.  But seeing this target, it was known that Oman will fulfill this target and win the match.  If their bowlers did not show such performance, this match would have been lost very easily.  Congratulations to him for this win.

Scotland has got a decent start against Namibia. Remember that the winner of this match will top the tables, as the current topper Canada has only 8 points. Michael English is batting with good amount of confidence, with Richie Berrington at the other end. They are 72/2 after 15 overs. BTW, I was wondering what will happen if all the ethnic Germans in Namibia squad (Wiese, Fouché, Trumpelmann.etc) plays for Germany instead. It will be possible for Germany to qualify for the T20 World Cup if that happens.

It was incredible performance from Scotland to actually get to a total over 300. And let’s be honest giving a target of 302, to a team like Namibia is almost like saying has already won the match. And after that the horrible start from Namibia also reinforces that truth. Look a back Nami, in reply of a target of 302, they have lost three wickets in  only 6.3 overs and they have only made nine runs. so there is no way they will actually be able to chase down the target of 302. whatever, current score is 137/6 in 34 over. After a great performance from Scotland in the first inning, they are bowling really well also. I think the target for Namibia is going to be just somehow layout the remaining overs. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually get all out before finishing the 50 overs.

Oman International ODI cricket team is strong team and has equal capability to the Namibia team. Namibia team gave very low target and that was achievable ang Oman team chased the target very easily.The bowlers and batters of Oman team were in good form and Oman team Work hard in last couple of months to win this match and they won the match after struggling a long time and at last they achieved the goal because Namibia team is not small because the players of Namibia team played the World Cup and We also saw Namibia team in full form in last series.
That is big success by Oman cricket team and they should continue the improvement and if they didn't improve then they will be at the bottom of ranking and no big team will play series with Oman team.

Your guess was right and Namibia squad did not finish the 50 overs inning and all their sqaud wickets was wiped out after playing 40.1 over. Scotland squad has start first inning with incredible performance also with unbelievable century of this batter Michael English. He managed total 107 scores after playing 122 deliveries and but was run out on Scholtz's ball. Richie Berrington squad captain also played a vital role to secure victory and give full strength of captaincy. He managed total 89 scores but sadly he did not complete his full century and 11 more scores needed. The Defeating target of Scotland was so high and also a very difficult task for Namibia sqaud to achieve it and both Oman and Namibia are less stronger than Scotland sqaud and both of them don't have much to beat Scotland sqaud but in future if their sqauds focus their inning performance and look some better and strong members in theur sqaud then these sqauds have chance to defeat Scotland sqaud.

Many of the Scotland players have county experience. Although the cricket infrastructure in Namibia is quite good, and a few players participate in South African domestic cricket, they don't have much outside experience. I would still rate Namibia as one of the better associate teams, and they would definitely rank above Oman and the United Arab Emirates. And also, they have an ideal mix of experienced players and youngsters. Even then, playing against the best associate team (Scotland) can be quite tough).

Really Scotland team made a big runs game and Namibia team has already tasted a lost in past game with Scotland team. This was the 2 nd team Scotland team won this game by huge runs total 138 runs. First three batsman of Namibia team put a team in under pressure after losing quick wickets with no high runs. Erasmus and Kruger both pushed their team and helped a lot to support next batsman by scoring good runs. Erasmus made 53 runs and Kruger made 27 runs. But runs are not enough to win and after losing these two wickets. Next batsman did not make good effort and remaining was lost and chased only 163 runs. English Batsman of Scotland team performed very great this side and made a beautiful century with 107 runs. Richie alse make good runs and scored 89 runs. Scotland bowlers also bowled great and stopped Namibia batsman to chase their target.

Yes Scotland is improving itself day by day.  And has created many changes in himself and is winning matches.  And Oman has lost many matches.  And in this match Namibia won by a big margin.  And the best performing team I have in this ICC is Scotland.  Even if Scotland don't score, I expect them to win the match with a good performance.  And they don't lose my hope and win matches.  Namibia is a good team but they could not show their good perform against Scotland.  The Scottish team had already won the match by 10 overs.  Because their bowler had dismissed the entire team with a good perform.  And by the looks of it, Scott had already won the match.  But we can only predict without seeing the result.  Congratulations to Scotland on this win.  Scotland's batsmen give less targets but their bowlers bowl very well in this match you can see how their bowlers bowled the whole team out in 40 overs

I observe Scotland team is much stronger than Namibia team and also gave tough time to big teams in T20 format. We also watched last match of Namibia and Scotland and Scotland team won the match easily by 138 runs. The players are in good form and they are working for the improvement and you can't underestimate the power of Scotland team because it is more dangerous than Scotland team .

Scotland team players have capacity to make century and half century in the match. So they can win match against good team.They have capacity to all out team and we also watched that team against Namibia where Scot bowlers showed hundred percent percent and we saw one sided match and there was no resistance in this match.

Scotland team has performed very well in this season of ICC Cricket World Cup League Two and all the players in their team have been in great form recently. We recently saw them face Namibia in their last match where they scored 301 runs in 50 overs. If we consider the ODI format ranking between these two teams then Scotland is ahead mainly due to their good performance. Looking at their team's recent performance, many might think that they might be improving a lot in cricket. If that is the case then we should see how well they can perform in the three T20 matches against Australia next September. There is no such strong team in the tournament that Scotland has participated in currently, so maybe it is not right to think of any team as strong with the performance here.

A very old team in Scotland cricket I still remember the year 2015 where this team had a remarkable performance in the World Cup tournament but then they were not seen in any major tournament. This team may not have enough facilities like the professional teams, that's why they could not improve as much as they were supposed to improve in cricket. They try to exploit every opportunity they get. Bigger than the win against Namibia, they batted up to 50 overs and managed to accumulate 300 plus runs on the scoreboard. Scotland is a small team in cricket so their 300 plus runs in 50 overs is certainly a big achievement.

However, performing well in one match cannot be stuck there, the consistency of performance must be maintained. I would like to tell the management of Scotland Cricket Board that they should give this team the opportunity to play enough series so that this team's skills will develop a lot and this team will actually do well like the World Cup.

Extremely glad to hear that Cricket has been added to the 2028 Olympics finally. I guess the surge in interest in the sport in USA and other countries helped the IOC take this decision.

Seems like there will be a couple of T20 format games(Men and Women) which will provide valuable Olympic medals to various countries. Excited!
