Namibia vs Oman

Today another match of ODI competition which is playing among these sqauds Namibia, Oman, Scotland. Today second last is ongoing among Namibia squad against Oman sqaud and after this match, last match still remain for bat and this match will play among Scotland squad against Namibia sqaud. If I guess in today match who will win this match then I choose Namibia sqaud because Oman sqaud condition in their matches were very bad with losing all previous matches. Right now, Oman bowlers are displaying very good performance and Their bowlers picked up 4 wickets of Namibia batters and put in danger zone because Namibia completed almost half innings and their batters collected just 86 scores with lost 4 wickets. I feel that This match is in hand of Oman sqaud if their bowlers restricted whole Inning of Namibia sqaud below 150 scores their sqaud will surely got points with win this match.

Considering the past matches, Namibia is performing quite well in the ODI format. However, according to the statistics of Oman's past matches, Oman have played three matches before without winning even one. However, in today's match, Namibia is not moving with much pace, run rate below 3.5. The fifth wicket partnership of Malan Kruger and JJ Smit is trying to turn things around. All Oman bowlers are bowling well and Namibia put the batsmen under a lot of pressure. At the end of 41 overs, the collection of the Namibian team is 140/4. There are only 9 more overs to bowl, but if the run rate doesn't pick up now, it will be very difficult for Namibia to cross 200 runs. But I think if Namibia go above 200 then it will be very tough match for Oman as Namibia have some quality bowlers in their team.

Namibia vs Oman, in today's match, Namibia team is batting in the first innings, they have already lost 5 wickets. Michael van Lingen is in great batting form he scored 40 runs off 55 balls unfortunately he couldn't make his half century. Malan Kruger is in batting form at the moment, he is fighting hard for the team and is batting towards a good score. Malan Kruger scored a half-century of 51 off 77 balls, but he looks set to do better for the team. However, if the Oman team can bowl well in today's match, the Namibia team will not be able to score too many runs. At the moment, Namibia's collection of runs is 168 in 46 overs for the loss of 5 wickets, compared to today's match, it looks like they won't be able to put up a big score.

We are having good development in few countries cricket, but now it's time we have changes because ICC already give full member status to Ireland and Afghanistan which is surely not good deal for these countries because they are not able to perform as expected and things are not going ideal for this status as well.

Just because of this is the correct time to have changes and reduced countries for test format with we need to have 14 to 16 teams for ODI and 18 to 20 for the T20I because with this we will be able to have improved quality and better number of games for them in every year. Allowing more countries as full for all format is surely not good because we have few countries which are not able to give their best in all formats even recently we are lacking quality and consistency from countries which are having enough system and funds for these formats due to domestic issues.

You said correct  ,  In cricket  there should be less teams in T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup and Champion trophy. We observed pamp in Bangladeshi cricket before 5 years when they were host of World Cup . Bangladeshi team and Afghanistan team are of same calliper and they could not maintain their performance and they could not win the World Cup . Afghanistan International cricket team played well in last tournament but they could not win the semi final . We know that Afghanistan team is not that kind of team that will win the the world cup. Same case we saw when we found Bangladeshi team as a host of Asia cup before 5 years and they played final of Asia cup and they lose the final against India easily.ICC need to think about that otherwise we will see that kind of opponent in final match.

Namibia managed to score 196 runs in the allotted 50 overs. Malan Kruger scored a personal best of 71 for Namibia. Oman bowlers bowled brilliantly in today's match which kept Namibia below 200 runs. Oman is batting at a target of 197 runs, currently Oman's score is 149 runs for four wickets after 37 overs. Khalid Kail and Aqib Ilyas extended the already 55-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Oman now needs 48 runs from 78 balls with six wickets in hand. I think Oman will win the match very easily.

I am not against allowing more teams for T20 WC because it is the format that is possible for small nations to compete and in world cup like trophies they might do their maximum to get into the league so they can achieve better status in this sport in the world arena but the negative side of allowing more teams is which will eat the entertainment part cause we know there are around 8 teams are the strongest so most results might gonna be one sided.

AFG made into semi this year which is the greatest achievement for their nation and hopefully it will inspire more nations to do the same.

Namibia will win this match easily as they only need 53 runs and still 89 balls are left in this innings. Though it is not much but still it is a sure shot bet and I placed the bet on Oman at 1.05 odds. It was expected that Namibia will win this match as they are more stronger team, they lost only 2 matches and are on the 2nd place on the points table.

Oman has not won any matches so far however they have played less matches, only three out of which they have lost two matches and have one point only.

Which match you are taking about currently we are having one game where we are going to witness big upset as Oman first bowled out Namibia on 196 for 9 in 5o overs which was surprising for me now while they are chasing we are having Oman in well commanding position because after 40 overs they are having 165 for 5, and they needed only 32 runs from 57 balls their captain Aqib Ilyas is on crease with 66 runs its look like easy win for the Oman in this League games and after having 3 defeats into their early games.

Cricket is funny game as few days back we have Oman having few humiliating defeats against Namibia and Scotland, but today we are having completely different side which is playing against Namibia at the Dundee after winning toss Oman decided to bowl first which was good decision by their captain Aqib Ilyas their bowlers give them regularly breakthrough never allowed Namibia to have good target at the end we have 196 for 9.

Now in reply we are having good batting from Oman as Captain Aqib Ilyas is leading from front have 64 runs and Khalid Kail on 42 giving him good support things are on track for their first win in this event they need 39 more runs on 69 balls which is looking easy for them with current situation.

The match between Oman and Namibia is running. In this match until this time, we are looking to Oman as the winner of this game so far. Namibia did good effort but in their bowling side we have noticed some problems from them.
The Namibia bowlers taking wickets as well but could not defend the score and it will be the reason for the lose for the Namibia team. Oman team is the need of 32 runs that they have to make them in 52 balls. No doubt it is easy for the Oman team to chase it up and hopefully they will chase it because from here there is no chance for Namibia to win it.

If Namibia team can collect around 220, then i will say that Namibia definitely win this match. But Namibian batsmen can collect 196 runs. I would say that it is not a good collection for this type of pitch. Though Namibia have a big chance to win this match. Because Oman's batsmen is not that much experienced. So if namibian bowlar can bowled on controlled way, they have a big chance to win this match.



After 44 over, Oman teams can collect 171 and  losing 6 wicket. Oman need 26 runs on 36 ball. But they haven't any experienced batsmen on the pitch at this moment. So I think still Namibia have a big chance to beat Oman's team. Shoaib Khan  is unbeaten on 8 runs and Fayyaz Butt  is collect only 1 run. Lets see what will be the result.

No chances for the Namibia are almost ended because we are having Shoaib Khan on crease who is good batsman and can handle this situation easily currently we are having 188 for 6 after 47 overs mean 9 more runs to win with 4 wickets in hand and 18 balls left its good win for the Oman after having good performance in this game.

It is always frustrating to watch a team with native players getting defeated by another team which doesn't even have one citizen in the playing XI. Namibia is one of the strongest associate nations, but they do have a reputation of being inconsistent. To be fair to them, they were without many of their regular players, such as David Wiese and Ruben Trumpelmann. But then overdependence on a few players can never do them any good in the long term. Apart from Malan Kruger, everyone else failed in the batting department for Namibia.

Due to Shoaib Khan's responsible batting, Oman team managed to defeat Namibia team in the end. I would say it was an incredible result for me. Because after Oman lost 6 wickets I didn't think that Oman team can win this match. Because as you said there are no experienced batsmen in Oman's squad. So the target of 197 runs was a big target for Oman.

Namibia's bowlers tried their best to bowl well. I would say Namibia's bowlers bowled well enough. But the target of 197 runs is enough to win. If Namibian batsmen can collect 20-30 runs more, then maybe they can beat Oman team.

However, Oman's captain Aqib Ilyas batted very responsibly in this match. Aqib Ilyas is able to collect 68  runs from 129 balls. Also Khalid Kail and Shoaib Khan's two innings were much needed. Khalid Kail was able to collect 43 ran and Shoaib Khan was  unbeaten on 26 runs.

Namibia vs Oman

Today another match of ODI competition which is playing among these sqauds Namibia, Oman, Scotland. Today second last is ongoing among Namibia squad against Oman sqaud and after this match, last match still remain for bat and this match will play among Scotland squad against Namibia sqaud. If I guess in today match who will win this match then I choose Namibia sqaud because Oman sqaud condition in their matches were very bad with losing all previous matches. Right now, Oman bowlers are displaying very good performance and Their bowlers picked up 4 wickets of Namibia batters and put in danger zone because Namibia completed almost half innings and their batters collected just 86 scores with lost 4 wickets. I feel that This match is in hand of Oman sqaud if their bowlers restricted whole Inning of Namibia sqaud below 150 scores their sqaud will surely got points with win this match.

Considering the past matches, Namibia is performing quite well in the ODI format. However, according to the statistics of Oman's past matches, Oman have played three matches before without winning even one. However, in today's match, Namibia is not moving with much pace, run rate below 3.5. The fifth wicket partnership of Malan Kruger and JJ Smit is trying to turn things around. All Oman bowlers are bowling well and Namibia put the batsmen under a lot of pressure. At the end of 41 overs, the collection of the Namibian team is 140/4. There are only 9 more overs to bowl, but if the run rate doesn't pick up now, it will be very difficult for Namibia to cross 200 runs. But I think if Namibia go above 200 then it will be very tough match for Oman as Namibia have some quality bowlers in their team.

Yes, if we consider the statistics of the group stage matches of these two teams, we can see that Namibia is far ahead. They have won most of the matches they have played against their opponents but Oman have not. We saw the Oman team participate in the recently concluded T20 World Cup where they played quite well but in this year's ICC Cricket World Cup League II (2023-2027) in season they are yet to shine. They are constantly losing matches against their opponents.

However, in the 17th match between Oman and Namibia, the Omani batsmen performed really well. They went down to bat at the target of 197 runs given by Namibia and reached the victory very easily. But the contribution of Aqib Ilyas was more behind their victory as he batted very patiently and even completed his half-century.
