ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

The Zimbabwean team is one of the best teams in the current season and it proved that today as well. Especially the Zimbabwean team has played three matches so far without losing a single one.
And batting and bowling line with very good performance can defeat other team in no time. Every match has been won unusually as the other team's players are too small for Zimbabwe's bowling which has already done well today with Chatara and other bowlers taking wickets. Sikandar Raja has performed very well in every match and Sikandar Raja and Chatara played a big role behind today's victory.
And Zimbabwe team is at the top of the points table with six points.

Well, before today's match, West Indies were also unbeaten and won 2 out of 2 matches. Yeah, they lost this important match against Zimbabwe but still, I don't think that that quest for the world cup is over for them as yet. They need to come strong after this loss.

In the other match, the Netherlands beat the Nepal team by 7 wickets. Nepal only scored 167 runs and it was easily chased by the Netherlands in the 28th over. Nothing much to say about this match except the match winning innings by Max O'Dowd who made 90 runs in 75 balls only and was declared the man of the match.

Sri Lanka VS Ireland
Today is the 15th match of Group B of World Cup Qualifier Sri Lanka vs Ireland. Sri Lanka have played two matches so far and won both matches. On the other hand, Ireland played two matches and they lost both matches. Sri Lanka topped Group B in the ICC World Cup Qualifier points table. Sri Lanka is a stronger team than Ireland in today's match. The Sri Lankan team players are in great form at present. I don't think Ireland can win today. Sri Lanka's chances of winning today are very high.

The match between West Indies and Zimbabwe saw a lot of excitement towards the end of the game. West Indies cricket team played well at the beginning of the game in the second innings, but failed to give a good finish towards the end of the game.

West indies has known for his T20 style power hitting and they love to play rather than ODI format and I think that's they main reason of early on wicket dismissal which cost them a big defeat, importance of this match were too much for West Indies  as victory of this match can make them favorite to qualify for super 6, now they have one single match to qualify for next stage , in case if they lose it they will be out of the world cup . While Zimbabwean side got more favorite and almost confirmed to qualify. Credit of this victory goes to qalander ka sikander for sunsational bowling and batting..

Zimbabwe team is consistently performing in this ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023. They have won 3 out of 3 matches to almost certain a place in Super Six. No one has any doubts now that they have turned in cricket brilliantly. Reliable performances from a few players have helped the team to improve tremendously. One of them is Sikandar Raza. But surely nothing good can be done by one player for the betterment of the team. Along with Sikandar Raja, few other batsmen also deserve praise who have been performing well in recent times. Craig Ervine and Sean Williams are not to be underestimated. Both of them also scored centuries in the first match. Joylord Gumbie's performance is also good. Above all their top order is quite strong.

Nepal and Netherlands are pretty good teams and they have managed to stay in the tournament so far.
For Nepal, whether they will be able to qualify for WC, nobody knows and we can only see their progress in ICC, as you said, but to be honest, I have little faith that Nepal will be able to. to qualify to go WC.

At the end of this year's Asian Cup there will be various strong teams that will compete against Nepal so I don't expect many Nepal to win there.

Of cource no one is expecting Nepal to get top slot in this CWC and win Asia Cup. Its just beginning of there appearance in big events. Its only a matter of year that we start seeing Nepal cricket team before that there was no clue about Nepal team.
Nepal should have played well in today's crucial game but they were bowl out for 167 run in 45th over. There is no one in Nepal batting who took responsibility today while Logan van Beek took 4 wickets. The game is very much over for Nepal as Netherlands need 48 runs from 29 overs and they still have 8 wickets left.

But even so this is a good development for the Nepal cricket team because this year they managed to compete in major tournaments even though they couldn't reach the top but at least there is great hope that Nepal can.
I'm also not sure Nepal can win the Asian Cup but Nepal can play as well as possible later there and gain experience and knowledge of playing with other strong teams.
In several meetings in the previous year, the Netherlands was always under Nepal and to be honest, from these two teams, I actually tend to have the assumption that Nepal actually deserves to be in the WC compared to the Netherlands.

Sri Lanka's chances of winning today are very high.

Ireland have performed fairly well in the bilateral series they have played before the World Cup but they have failed in the World Cup qualifiers. Oman and Scotland are relatively less powerful teams than Ireland and these teams usually do not play bilateral series except for World Cup or other major tournaments, in which case Ireland plays bilateral series against much bigger teams but still Ireland lost two matches against a stronger team than them. If Ireland lose today's match, their World Cup dream will end here. Then from Group-B, Sri Lanka, Scotland and Oman will qualify for the Super Six of the World Cup Qualifiers.

I agree with you. Ireland will be tested today. Ireland are having a bad time now. Ireland lost the first match against Oman and lost dramatically against Scotland in the second match. But on the other hand Sri Lanka are in great form. They won both matches by huge margin. Both their bowling and batting were excellent. But in cricket game there can be dramatic turn anytime who will win. But I think 80% out of 100% chance of Srilanka win. Now let's see what the result will be after the start of the game is.

Sri Lanka VS Ireland

There is one more match.
Scotland vs Oman

Both of these matches has been started. In the first match Ireland chose field first. And Srilanka has started well in the first over Srilanka made 13 runs. And Srilanka team is looking more strong as compare to Ireland.
In the second match Oman chose field first. And Scotland is playing now with a bad move. Scotland lost one wicket on the 3rd ball. And made only one run in 2 overs.

Ireland have won the toss and decided to bowl. Throughout the qualifier Sri Lanka is in good form, and  both the teams have played 4 head to head matches and Sri Lanka have won all the four matches played. Ireland is one among the expected team in the qualifier, but the performance is disappointing. Maybe the team could perform well in this match. The team have got good batting order which seems to be the reason for Ireland deciding to bowl first. Surely Sri Lanka will focus on 350+ runs, batting first and keep the winning chance high.

Sri Lanka have won their last two matches but Ireland have lost their last two matches so we can understand that Ireland will lose if they don't perform well today. Sri Lanka's performance is very good and they are at the top of the points table with four points from two matches. 8 extra runs at the start due to Ireland's fielding miss. Power play Nissanka is performing well and if they can collect good runs from power play then surely Sri Lanka can win. And if they can score like this then Ireland will be under a lot of pressure if they can score 350 runs.

Ireland's performance has been poor this season, they were failed to win against  two weak team from them oman and Scotland.  I don't see any exception in this match because Sri Lanka team is much stronger from them in both side batting and bowling. They standing on the top place of group B in ICC Cricket world Cup Qualifiers 2023.
And the match has been already started Sri Lankan batmen were looking so comfortable after 3 over passed they took 31 run and the run rate was over 10 .
By seeing the starting, it is understood that what is going to happen in the match today, if it continues like this, then Sri Lanka will be able to give a mountain equal target in front of Ireland today. I choose Sri Lanka for my betting today.

Just when everyone was thinking why SL and WI are playing CWC, WI tells the reason why they are playing this CWC with associate teams. Pakistan born Sikandar Raza is proving to be backbone of Zim team. Sikandar Raza was man of the match for his staggering figures of 68 (58), 2/36 & 2 catches. WI have one match left against Netherlands hopefully they can win that.

 In today's match, Ireland won the toss and decided to bowl. Now Sri Lanka came to bat. Scored 64 runs in 11 overs. So far Sri Lanka has lost 2 strong wickets. Sri Lanka team batsman Pathum Nissanka was dismissed for 20 runs off 26 balls.  .Kusal Mendis is out for 0 runs in 1 ball. If Ireland can bowl well in today's match then Sri Lanka team's batsmen will be under a lot of pressure.

If I'm not wrong then team Ireland is not good enough to win against team Sri Lanka. Ireland team can't play good and there is no consistency in the team, on the other hand Sri Lanka team has been performing very well in all of the matches and this match isn't an exception for the team. I'm pretty sure that team Sri Lanka will win this match without any effort because they will make quite high score that could never be crossed by team Ireland. The Sri Lankan team is batting very aggressively because in 14 overs they have made 84 runs, but unfortunately they have also get their two players out of the match. I betted in favor of Sri Lanka yesterday, and I'm quite sure that this team will win the match. Let's see what's going to happen next in this match.

[SamReomo]

Scotland vs Oman

The match between those two teams is a tough one because both of them could play well in this qualifier match. The team Oman won the toss but they decided to bowl first, and the team Scotland is doing well in batting because they have made 82 runs in 18.2 over and they have lost two wickets. This match is going to be a tough one for team Scotland because Oman team is doing their best to win this match as they have lost the previous match very badly against Sri Lanka. They will put all their effort to regain the respect that they have lost in the previous match, and that's why it will be a very hard match for team Scotland to win. Well, I still believe that team Scotland is a better team and they can win this match if they play carefully and make good score in their batting. I'm expecting the team to reach at least 250 plus run score in this match and if they can achieve that score mark then the target will be a tough one for team Oman to cross.

[Bitcoin_people]

Sri Lankan batsmen are doing great batting performance in Sri Lanka vs Ireland match. Sri Lanka will try to play well enough in today's match and the way their runs have increased it will be a good score in today's match. Sri Lanka are top of Group B with four points and they are a strong enough team. Compared to Ireland, Sri Lanka is much stronger in all aspects, batting and bowling Sri Lanka is able to do well. If Sri Lanka play today's match in the end then there is definitely a possibility of 300 runs. And if Sri Lanka can score such a big score against Ireland, then Ireland will have less chance of victory in today's match. At the moment the batting performance of the Sri Lankan batsmen is their total team runs of 230 in 37 overs for 3 wickets.

If Ireland can bowl well in today's match then Sri Lanka team's batsmen will be under a lot of pressure.

Sri Lanka's batting performance is not very good and not bad either. Sri Lanka scored 262 runs in 42 overs and lost 4 wickets. They tried to save wickets till 40 overs and they managed to do so but could not collect high runs. But now panickly started playing. And it looks like they can target 300+ runs. But Ireland is not very strong in cricket game. So Sri Lanka is very likely to win in this case. Let's see how Ireland can put up a batting performance

[Litzki1990]

Ireland vs Sri Lanka

Ireland won the toss and elected to field first against Sri
Lanka. The game of the first innings is almost over. So far
Sri Lanka have managed to accumulate 281 runs for 5 wickets on the scoreboard. There are only 6 overs left in the first innings. If Sri Lanka can score 50 runs in 6 overs then it will be a big target for Ireland. The runs that Sri Lanka have been able to score against Ireland so far makes Sri Lanka's chances of winning this match very high. If Sri Lanka can win this match they will be unbeaten in three matches and Ireland will lose three matches in a row.

Srilanka ended their inning with the score of 325 runs. I don't think Nepal Ireland can chase this score and due to this, I guess that we can assume that Srilanka will win the 3rd match in the row. Dimuth Karunaratne made 103 runs while Sadeera Samarawickrama scored 82 runs and they put on a massive total for the Nepal to chase.

However, the only good thing that happened for Ireland in the match is that Srilanka was not able to score any runs in the last over of their innings as Adair took two wickets in two balls. In total, he took 4 wickets in the match.

The match is between Sri Lanka and Ireland, and I think you mistyped Ireland as Nepal. The match is a pure victory for Sri Lanka team because Ireland team isn't capable enough to cross the score of 325. The Sri Lankan bowlers are in their best shape and they won't let Ireland to score anywhere close to 300 run. I'm pretty sure that Ireland will lose this game by a huge margin of runs. The situation is same with Oman because team Scotland has scored 320 run-mark, and team Oman will hardly be able to cross that score. I'm quite sure that Scotland can also win today's match because they have been playing very well since their last match. However, Oman didn't played well in their last match against Sri Lanka. Team Sri Lanka won that match easily, Team Oman's performance was disastrous in that match.
