Today's odi match between United States vs United Arab Emirates has started. United Arab Emirates came to the field to bat first and scored 308 runs in 50 overs.  United Arab Emirates has to do. Now United Arab Emirates come to bat. They scored 10 runs in 2 overs. United Arab Emirates has not lost any wicket so far. But I am worried about who will win the match between the two teams today. It seems that United Arab Emirates is better in the bowling line.  Can perform and win the match.

UAE gave a good run target to United States but on the other hand United States are also playing well but they lost one wicket in short time which is a negative point for them but United States can get close to UAE's target and if they play well they can beat their given target. The match is going to be tight fighting

United States vs United Arab Emirates The match between the two teams is very intense. United States is trying hard to win this match. It seems that United Arab Emirates has some hope of winning this match if they can keep their wickets. United Arab Emirates started batting first.  Bowling has started very well. Which batsman of United Arab Emirates team has batted very well today. Bowling has started very well.

UAE have done well this season but Asif Khan came in at the last minute to score a big run. But still he remains undefeated in this match can ever be imagined as Asif Khan collected almost half of the team's runs and took the team to the winning end. Meanwhile, despite the good bowling, USA couldn't grab the win in the end, it's a pity and last minute fielding failure cost them some more runs. USA in particular gave away 23 runs extra. USA's failure here is because the captain lacks experience. An experienced bowler was needed at the last minute. Experience complete bowling is required to overcome this pressure moment.

The United Arab Emirates scored well but they lost the confidence as the opposition United States almost reached the target. Fortunately United Arab Emirates team won. There is no big effect of win or loss in this match but good batsman has been found in the United Arab Emirates team, he is Asif Khan. He was able to score 151 runs by his batting. It is a great achievement for United Arab Emirates to find a good batsman like him. The United States, on the other hand, cannot forget the 1-run defeat.

There was a lot of faith that the United States would be able to meet the target that the UAE had given. And USA almost made up for it but lost the match by just 1 run. I predicted from the early performances that the match would be a tight one and it was. the match was so hard fought that the match was almost going to be a draw but UAE won the match by just 1 run. It is very nice to see such a game. USA had a lot of effort and they put in a very good performance which is really commendable

Sri Lanka won the toss and opt to bowl

~~snip~~

Sri Lanka which won the toss in the current World Cup qualifier between West Indies and Sri Lanka chose to field first. Since neither team has anything to lose Sri Lanka can use this match to put their bench players to the test. West Indies are now in the middle of their batting innings and have 151 runs in 33 overs while losing 7 wickets. In light of past results West Indies has a difficult task to achieve success. The actual winner will not be known until the match is over.

Sri Lanka have been playing well since the start of the World Cup Qualifiers while West Indies have not been doing so well.  In today's match, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to field. The game put West Indies under a lot of pressure from the start and looked likely to be bowled out before they could play the entire over. Sri Lanka bowling is very good especially Sri Lanka player Maheese Theekshana bowled 10 overs and picked up four wickets. His four-wicket haul instilled a lot of confidence in the minds of the Sri Lankan players.

[Compromise me]

West Indian update score
Socre 177
Over    39 (11 over are left)
Total Wicked Los : 8

The WI are currently under a lot of pressure as their target is quite low and all their batsmen have lost their wickets. Considering the situation,it seem unlikely that the  WI will be able to win this match. This match can be considered as a guest already given the circumstances. If k.Carty and k.Sinclair can deliver a good porformance on the pitch there is hope that the target can be improved. Now everything depends on how they perform as there are still a significant number of overs left, but there are not many reliable players left to bat. Best of luck to them.

[Ayers]

Sri Lanka winning all four of their matches so far, while West Indies have only managed to one win out of their four matches. Sri Lanka enters today's match as clear favorites, and hopefully their winning attitude continue throughout the World Cup qualification matches. One of the key reasons behind their success for their opening batsmen, had no problems chasing the target. Choosing to bowl first, Sri Lanka has already taken seven wickets of the West Indies team. It looks like Sri Lankan bowlers determine to bundle out West Indies to a low total.

West Indies is Batting right now. Carty is trying to score as much as he can for the West Indies team. Because without him the team is not going to score much, to be honest. He is also not getting any kind of support from his teammates. West Indies is already down by eight wickets and they have only scored 202. 49 balls are still left. I don’t think West Indies is going to get any respectable total to defend. The top order of the West Indies has failed. I think Sri Lanka is going to take this match.

[LDL]

West Indies were bowled out for 243 runs but a penalty was awarded to Sri Lanka in this match where the penalty was awarded for time over. An over rated penalty was awarded as Sri Lanka failed to complete their overs within the stipulated time and two overs were not completed within the stipulated time. As a penalty only four players can be outside the 30 yard circle and all other players must stay inside the 30 yard circle.

[darewaller]

I just simply don’t think that there are enough teams in the cricket World Cup. The problem is test cricket, it is almost dead. One-day International cricket needs a lot of time. At least the World Cup is really time-consuming. But in the T-20 format, I think it is possible to increase the number of teams. And T20 is also the format in which it is possible for the associate nations to actually perform well. These associate nations are actually showing good performance in this World Cup qualifier. I think at least 12 teams in the ODI format World Cup and probably increasing the number of teams to 20 in the T-20 format World Cup makes a lot of sense.

We have too long discussion about this in past about this all with every one is going for his own favorite format and favorite system, but again I am still feeling now it's time to have few changes in this all game with ODI World Cup 2031 could be last for this format, and now we need to be had only two formats first test and second t20 because now going with all three formats are not good for the game and other stakeholders as well.

ODI is losing its passion and quality is also going down with mostly ICC never have anything positive for this format every time we have decrease in teams for the mega event and funding issues are also rising with this as well so just stopping this all time-wasting is much better and bringing around 16 to 20 teams in t20 is surely going to help them in many ways as well, and we need to reduce test format for the top eight teams as well.

The target of 243 runs given by West Indies is an easy target for the ODI match.  Sri Lanka are good cricketers and they have been playing brilliantly from the start for this match and scored 65 in just 12 overs. I think Sri Lanka can easily win the match. West Indies have played for a long time but they have also missed a lot of single runs due to which their run rate is less than 1. West Indies are seen playing well at times but they also lose easy matches at times like Bangladesh.  I think West Indies' defeat in today's match is certain

In the match between West Indies vs Sri Lanka, West Indies elected to bat first and were all out for 243 runs. Sri Lankan bowlers bowled brilliantly, Maheesh Theekshana bowled brilliantly and took four wickets. Sri Lanka went into bat with a target of 244 runs and collected 101 runs without losing any wicket in 18 overs. Pathum Nissanka 59 runs, Dimuth Karunaratne 39 runs. Sri Lanka need just 143 runs to win. Sri Lanka will win easily today.

After losing 5 batsmen for just 81 I don't think West Indies will cross 200 runs. However, the batsmen of West Indies batted very well. The team was able to set a decent target of 244 runs. But the bowling of their bowlers has disappointed me a lot. The team was not able to take a single wicket in 21 overs. Sri Lanka managed to collect 118 runs in 21 overs. At least I did not expect such bad bowling. The West Indies team is going to be defeated as usual in today's match as well. Sri Lanka need only 126 runs in 29 overs to win. The condition of the West Indies team is getting worse day by day.

BCB president himself talks unnecessarily to the media. This is one of the reasons why Tamim Iqbal announced his retirement today. Coach Hathuru asked Tamim if he was fit for the match or not. I will check my fitness by playing a game Tamim said. Then Hathuru had a call with BCB President and said Tamim said he will check his fitness by playing a game. BCB President raged and was angry at Tamim and said he should not do that. Either fit or unfit. He cannot check his fitness by playing a match. Tamim retired from International cricket after a lousy performance in yesterday's game.

However, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina invited Tamim Iqbal for dinner today. Prime Minister may request Tamim to reverse his decision.

Tamim Iqbal reversed his retirement.

As I said yesterday, Tamim Iqbal was invited to the Prime minister's house right after the retirement announcement. Today Tamim Iqbal and his wife, Ayesha Iqbal, with former captain Mashari Bin Mortaza visited the Prime minister. The board president of BCB, Mr. Nazmul Hassan Papon, also got invited there. The prime minister had three hours meeting with them, and The Prime Minister asked Tamim to reverse his decision and return to cricket. The Prime Minister offered him 45 Days of rest to recover his fitness and freshen his mind.

I may say No to everyone else, but when it's the country's most respected person, the Prime minister, I could not say No to her - Tamim said.

BCB Presiden Nazmul Hassan Papon said; I know if I could talk to Tamim face to face, there will be a good ending. He reversed his decision. He has not retired anymore. He is likely to be back in cricket in Asia Cup.

The West Indies team is going to be defeated as usual in today's match as well. Sri Lanka need only 126 runs in 29 overs to win. The condition of the West Indies team is getting worse day by day.

Very sad to see such a legendary team fall to nothingness thanks to the current batch of players who keep delivering bad performances again and again. This change occured when legends like Gayle, Pollard etc stopped playing.

I wonder if this team will ever return to their glory days at some point in the future.

[Sithara007]

No surprises today. Another easy win for Sri Lanka. The only time when they were in trouble was when they were playing against the Netherlands. The Dutch managed to bowl out the Lankans for just 213. But in return they could not chase this easy target and got bowled out for just 192 runs. I guess this was the only close match involving Sri Lanka in the WCQ. They had large victories in other matches:

1. Defeated Zimbabwe by 9 wickets, with 17 overs to spare.
2. UAE got destroyed by a margin of 175 runs.
3. Oman lost to Sri Lanka by 10 wickets, with 35 overs to spare.
4. Ireland lost by a margin of 133 runs
5. Scots put up a fight, but still lost by 82 runs.

In the past, we have seen fantastic gameplay from the West Indies team. Almost every player in the team was very talented. But suddenly this group deteriorated. Their performance is poor in all formats except the T20 format. This team is unable to win even against weak and inexperienced teams. West Indies also lost badly against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka reached the target of victory by losing only 2 wickets in this match. Sri Lanka collected 190 runs in the first pair of wickets. West Indies are on the decline in both bowling and batting.

Sri Lanka won today by 8 wickets. Sri Lanka performed very well in both bowling and batting. I saw Sri Lanka team's batting and I understood that Sri Lanka will win today's match very easily. West Indies came out to bat first and the target of runs  It was not the right run for West Indies to win. Today West Indies played very badly in batting and bowling line. The good batsmen of West Indies could not bat well.

West Indies' score finally reached 248 which West Indies should be thankful for as West Indies lost seven wickets very quickly and from there West Indies finally managed to score well in the eighth wicket pair. West Indies could not finish with a good score in the end. West Indies lost the last match of the World Cup qualifier against Sri Lanka by a huge margin of eight wickets. It must be said that the four batsmen who have batted for Sri Lanka have played well. Among the first two batsmen, one scored a century and another got out close to a century, and the remaining two who came out to bat later finished the game and left the field. The way Sri Lanka performed in today's match, I hope they will perform like this in the main stage of the World Cup.

Yes, West Indies cricket team was once a popular team. And it is surprising to think that the players of that popular team would play so badly. I think this happened due to negligence of West Indies players. West Indies cricket team has been defeated not only in this match but also in the pri matches. Due to this defeat of West Indies, West Indies supporters gamblers have faced a huge loss. On the other hand, the opposing team Sri Lanka has consistently improved. Sri Lanka won by 8 wickets against West Indies thanks to a responsible batting and bowling performance by the Sri Lankan team.

In the eighth-wicket partnership, ROMario and Sinclair managed to bat responsibly. West Indies team got 26 and 25 runs from these two players respectively. Also, Keacy Carty was able to collect 87 runs. After West Indies set a target of 244 runs, I thought the match might be competitive. But this is not the case. Sri Lanka collected 190 runs from the opening pair. And with the opening pair performing so well, Sri Lanka had no problem winning this match. West Indies suffered another humiliating defeat.

Instead of feeling sad for them, I would say that they should be ashamed of this performance. I wonder what would be the feeling of the legends WI crickets like Brian Lara or Chris Gayle on their country worst ever performance.

Ending up at fifth number against the teams like Netherlands, and Scotland is an insult in itself. West Indies was that team who won the World cups when these newbies cricket countries didn't know a word about cricket and today time has changed completely.  
I guess the era of the West Indies cricket may have ended forever.

What can these legends do about the team selection and how they are performing, all they can do is to get disappointed and hopefully they will be able to regain their old glory.

Ending up at fifth number against the teams like Netherlands, and Scotland is an insult in itself. West Indies was that team who won the World cups when these newbies cricket countries didn't know a word about cricket and today time has changed completely.

You cannot claim that the era of West Indies is over because of their terrible performance in ODI, they have shifted towards the shorter form of Cricket for over a decade and they will perform really well in T20 but they need to build a team for other formats.
