ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[LDL]

Two-time former champions West Indies have completely failed to qualify themselves for this year's ODI World Cup 2023 qualifiers. They are in 5th position with no points in the Super Six and are unlikely to qualify. Tomorrow's match between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands is no more likely for the West Indies to qualify if Sri Lanka wins. Moreover, if West Indies can beat Scotland with a huge margin in today's match then there would be some chance but unfortunately in today's match West Indies had a massive batting disaster and collected 132/6.

West Indies board is the reason for the disastrous performance of this team. In the next year or so I won't be surprised if this team goes in full isolation and dies from all ICC tournaments in the future. The players and the board should have a meeting and put back their differences aside. Good players are making tons of money playing in league tournaments why would they bother to play in the team?

West Indies, a once popular team, was eliminated from the ICC World Cup 2023 with a 7-wicket loss to Scotland today. The West Indies fans will never accept that the once popular side will lose the qualifiers like this and be knocked out of the World Cup. West Indies' exit from the last T20 World Cup and today's loss to Scotland from the ICC World Cup is truly sad. But one fact is that when West Indies team was led by Lara, Chris Gayle then West Indies team was a popular team but now due to lot of irregularities in West Indies team there is not much demand for national team so West Indies team is becoming like Kenya day by day.

What a shameful moment for west indies today which never he expected. Scotland an un-experienced team make easy win against West indies. if we look at the team of WI , we will find lot of quality players and batsmen having ability to score high but no one played well today. Now Zimbabwe has high chance to qualify for WC23. I was thinking that WI will easily win today but result is totally different.

lara and Gayle time was golden time period for west indies team and i will add one more player  chanderpaul which was outstanding player in pressure situation. his batting style was different from other player and always scores in situations like today.

The old players who used to play very well in the West Indies cricket game are now retired from the national team. But today's match is really sad that West Indies will lose against a team like Scotland. And West Indies got out of this ICC World Cup it is very unfortunate for West Indies fans. In today's match, West Indies could not score many runs by batting in the first innings but were under a lot of pressure due to the quick fall of wickets. But today's match is very unlucky for West Indies they got knocked out from the World Cup it's really a sad thing. Scotland played a good enough game today which saw them get a huge win by 7 wickets. And the win today was a moment of great joy for Scotland.

These low scoring matches in ODI format are really annoying. Despite being a strong team, West Indies managed to score 181 runs in 43.5 overs for the loss of all wickets. Such poor performance is unexpected for West Indies. West Indies lost to Scotland by 7 wickets in today's match. It is very sad for West Indies. Due to this defeat, the West Indies cricket team has been eliminated from the ICC Cricket World Cup qualifiers. I think Scotland also did not perform well in this match. Because Scotland also had to play 43.3 overs to reach the target of 182 runs

West Indies was already down as they lost against the Netherlands in last match, but now their problems are doing from bad to worse because it's really sad now they are fighting for the fifth and sixth place against associate countries being one of the best cricketing team few decades back, but sadly they fail to settle their issues and now having end of top class cricket in this region.

Today as they ended their inning on 181 it was one of the worst time in their cricket because they are not able to compete with teams like Scot land, and they won by big margin of 7 wickets which is surely another setback with batting and bowling both departments are not having any depth, and they're tried to fight back into game are also not having any positive signal as well.

I would not say that West Indies' defeat today is a pity. West Indies' defeat in today's match is extremely shameful. A giant team like West Indies lost against a team like Scotland. And the West Indies batsmen could not even collect 200 runs. West Indies batsmen are almost all talented. Even then they could not survive at the crease against Scotland's bowlers. Jason Holder scored the highest runs for the team. Besides, the performance of the West Indies bowlers was also very poor today. They were able to take only three wickets of Scotland.

Scotland vs West Indies
Super Sixes 3rd match of World Cup Qualifiers started today. Scotland won the toss and elected to bowl. West Indies came down to bat and scored 42 runs by taking 4 wickets in 9 overs. West Indies are under a lot of pressure at the moment. Johnson Charles out for 0 runs, Brandon King out for 22 runs, Shamarh Brooks out for 0 runs, Kyle Mayers out for 5 runs. Scotland bowled well today. Brandon McMullen bowled brilliantly and took 3 wickets. If you can bowl well like this, Scotland will have a chance to win. Let's see which team can win in the end.

West Indies' quality of play was very poor in today's match against Scotland and they scored 181 in 43.5 overs which was Scotland's target and Scotland and West Indies played similarly but West Indies did not lose their wickets so they won the match by 7 wickets. Both West Indies and Scotland were almost equally strong teams. However, some of Scotland's strategy helped them win the match as they continued to save wickets . But in an ODI match, ending the match with such a score does not count as good play.  Such scores are also seen in T20 matches.

You are right, West Indies played so badly in today's match, it goes without saying. West Indies is a popular team of all time. No one could have imagined that the players of this team would play so badly. In today's match, the Scotland bowlers put a lot of pressure on the West Indies batsmen. So they failed to score big. But I would say the bowlers of the Scotland team performed as well as they could. Couldn't perform that well in batting. Scotland's batting started a bit but Scotland won the match against West Indies by 7 wickets

West Indies team is excluded from the  ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers, it is very difficult to accept for many because they had a very good record in the T20 World Cup and ODI cricket. When the team is excluded from the World Cup Qualifiers, it is naturally difficult to accept it. But there is nothing to do with the reality. It can be estimated that the West Indies team has gone down this season according to their performance. It is better for not to play in the World Cup with such weak performances. Even if they lost the match with reliable distance, there could be satisfaction. But such a poor performance is unfamiliar with their cricket reputation.

[Webetcoins]

In the history after 48 years West Indies have failed to qualify for the World Cup. The players showing much interest on franchise leagues is not by interest, but due to the salary and other issues that were running between the players and the West Indies cricket board. Lately it was during Lara in the team, West Indies were good in Test format cricket. For some time period they were good in ODI cricket and mastered T20 format cricket. Finally a big defeat in the qualifier isn't an expected one from West Indies, because the experience it holds compared to rest of the teams on the qualifier round is very big.

Even every country and sports having ups and downs, but this is really shameful for the West Indies as after winning first title 48 years ago now they are completely out of this game and now no chance for the better result in near future if they are not going to have any solid strategy and better vision for the game in next few months because now this is key point for them to fight-back or give up once we have dreamed West Indies team which was ruling the cricket world and players were fear to face their bowlers, but now it's all dream.

After 1992 World Cup they have never been good time in this game even they try many methods, but their issues are still same and their players having good quality and talent, but they fail to have better result for their team now what is next nothing is clear and no one know how to go through with these results as they lost last three matches against teams like Zimbabwe, Netherlands and now Scotland.

It's been a sad moment and a tough journey for the West Indies team. It's also hard to believe that the team who won two consecutive world cups in the past, will no longer be a part of this world cup. I am really sad for them and I am sure the old West Indies legend players would be willing to see a day like this.

West Indies team needs to realize that they need to evolve and make some serious changes in their domestic cricket structure to produce quality players and a team. If we do not see any such reforms, I am afraid, West Indies will only become History in the International arena.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka
Today is the fourth match of World Cup Qualifier Super Six Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka. Both teams have been playing well since the beginning of the World Cup qualifiers. Both teams are undefeated so far. A loss today would be the first defeat between these two teams in World Cup qualifiers. Both the teams have performed well and it is difficult to say which team will win. Sri Lanka is stronger than Zimbabwe in today's match. Sri Lanka's bowling line and batting line are better than Zimbabwe. I think the chances of Sri Lanka winning today's match are a bit higher.

Even I am also feeling this is sad moment for the West Indian cricket because now they are almost down and out of the in every format with most chances now they have no chance for the quick recovery and their unstable strategy and inner politics is also killing the game, but it's never been in sports as we all know soccer many teams having ups and downs and Field Hockey where India and Pakistan were in complete control now badly down and out of the game.

Now it's time for them to sit and talk about their weakness and also try to avoid inner politics which is also never been good for them, hopefully they will try once again, and we will have them here as much better and stronger.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka

In my point if view this is a big match. Like you said both teams are playing well since beginning so now these two teams will face each other. Sri Lanka is a strong team but Zimbabwe can't be underestimated.

There is one more match of 7th place playoff. This is a second Semi Final Between Nepal vs UAE. First Semi Final won by the Ireland. So today I think Nepal will win. So let see.

Its now official that 2 time ODI WC winner are not out of upcoming ODI world cup and instead Scotland will play the ODI World Cup. WI cricket at its worst now, there strategy to play T20 leagues instead of national duty is now paying them badly.
In today's match between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka both teams are unbeaten in there last 5 matches. Sri Lanka have not taken this CWC for-granted rather they have played it with responsibility and that's why they will play the upcoming WC.

[Popkon6]

Gumbie's exit has left Zimbabwe in a very precarious position.  Because he performed very well with USE on the power play. But in today's match, 3 wickets fell in the beginning. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka has given a great performance in terms of bowling. This season Sri Lankan team has given a good game to the visitors but in today's game Sri Lanka has more chances to win. If Sean William can score a century in today's match, it will surely be a match full of competition between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Super Sixes Match1 Zimbabwe vs Oman Sean William scored 142 runs in this match.  So I would say today's match depends on Sean William's performance.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka
Today is the fourth match of World Cup Qualifier Super Six Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka. Both teams have been playing well since the beginning of the World Cup qualifiers. Both teams are undefeated so far. A loss today would be the first defeat between these two teams in World Cup qualifiers. Both the teams have performed well and it is difficult to say which team will win. Sri Lanka is stronger than Zimbabwe in today's match. Sri Lanka's bowling line and batting line are better than Zimbabwe. I think the chances of Sri Lanka winning today's match are a bit higher.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka
 The match between these two teams has already started. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl. Now Zimbabwe came out to bat. They scored 127 runs in 23 overs. Zimbabwe are now under a lot of pressure with the loss of 5 wickets. Sri Lanka has a lot of power in the bowling line.There is a possibility of Zimbabwe going all out in today's match. Zimbabwe has started to perform poorly in batting. It doesn't look like Zimbabwe will be able to set a target of 220 runs today.

[Patrol69]

After winning the toss against Zimbabwe and deciding to field first, Sri Lanka have so far managed to pick up 6 wickets after 25 overs while Zimbabwe's score is only 130. 

Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have played three matches each in the World Cup qualifiers Super Sixes so far with both teams winning three of their first three matches. Considering the points table so far, Sri Lanka is at the top and Zimbabwe is at the second position. 

Between these two teams, the team that loses today will lose points in their fourth match. Sri Lanka will be ahead in this match if Zimbabwe have already lost six wickets for 130 runs. But if Zimbabwe manage to score 250 plus runs then it will be difficult for Sri Lanka to win this match against Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe lost quick wickets as Madusanka took hold of the first spell taking three wickets. Then Sean Williams and Sikander Raza built good partnership and Raza fell at 31 runs, Williams lost his wicket at 56 runs. Going to be a difficult match for Zimbabwe and somehow the team will reach around 200+ runs. Zimbabwe can try to win the match, however this is going to be tough as Sri Lanka have got the better winning chance as the target isn't enough to defend.

CWC Qualifier 2023 - UAE vs Nepal

Nepal have won the toss and decided to bowl.
The match looks slow scoring as the runrate is around 4rpo.
The team could reach the score of 200 - 210 runs as Nepal have reached 150/4 in 39 overs.
Mustafa and Hameed on the crease could score good runs if they were able to score a half century.
Sandeep Lamichhane have bowled 8 overs allowing just 19 runs.
If Nepal restrict the target within 220 runs, they can chase the target without much of pressure.

[Bitcoin_people]

In today's match Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe batted in the first innings. Zimbabwe did not score much runs in today's match as their run rate dropped due to rapid fall of wickets. In 32.2 overs, they lost all wickets and collected just 165 runs, which is not a lot for Sri Lanka. In today's match Sri Lanka had a great bowling performance especially Maheesh Theekshana and Dilshan Madushanka both of them had a great bowling performance. Maheesh Theekshana took four wickets in the match and Dilshan Madushanka took three wickets they both took a total of 7 wickets.  And due to the loss of these wickets, Zimbabwe was under a lot of pressure in today's match and could not score many runs. But when Sri Lanka bats in today's match, they will surely do well to win the match. Today's match is most likely to be won by Sri Lanka as Zimbabwe did not score much runs today.
