Very crucial match between United Arab Emirates and Nepal has started now. Both the teams have 7 matches remaining (including this one) in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Out of the 7 matches, 4 matches are between these two teams. UAE is in a slightly better position right now, with 29 points. Nepal is at 28 points. A win today will allow Nepal to overtake UAE. On the other hand, in case the United Arab Emirates wins the match, then they will further widen the lead over Nepal and may end up at the 4th position in points table.

UAE look better they score 207 in 50 over with a two half centuries which is not a bad performance for team like this, while on the other hand Nepal are completely off color because during chasing only single player of them Kushal Malla score half century no other batter help them while chasing and due to that reason they just score139 before all dismissal, it show that cricket is a team game if you didn't perform like a team then defeat is confirmed. In my view UAE are far better than them from any angle because if they can beat a team like Afghanistan who has world class batter and bowler then Nepal is not a big problem for them to deal

Nepal got all out on 139 runs in 31 overs , although target was very normal 207 runs given by UAE.  But they failed to achieve,  so UAE maintained their position in ICC rankings and improved their points.

United Arab Emirates had a comprehensive win against Nepal today in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Now the UAE has increased their lead over Nepal in points table (31 vs 28, both the teams have played a total of 30 matches). And for both the teams, next match is going to be against Papua New Guinea. After restricting the UAE to just 207/8, Nepal couldn't chase down the target and got bundled out for just 139 runs. Now it is going to be tough for Nepal to overtake UAE. And that means less funding from the ICC for them.

If we make a batting comparison of this match between these two teams so we will see that in the UAE team Asif khan make good runs he got out at 72 runs. And Rohan Mustafa was also looking good and remain not out and made 52 runs and he is the player of the match too.
And on the other hand in Nepal team Kushal Malla made 60 runs. And he is the one who go above 50 runs. Nepal tried well but unfortunately they didn't win. But the run rate was good 4.36 as compare to UAE 4.14.

UAE vs Nepal was absolutely one sided in the end. I thought that target that UAE set for Nepal was not going to be enough. But Nepal ended up losing. Nepal was unable to actually have any decent partnership. They had a few individual scores here and there. But they could not actually form partnerships consistently. One thing they did well is keeping up with the run rate. But in the end, they lost all the wickets trying to do that.

In Cricket sometimes no calculation no research works. Despite being a good team, Nepal finished only 139 in the target of 207 runs. At present, cricket has gone to a position where it is not possible to guess which team will win in the match. I was fascinated by the performance that Nepal showed a few days ago. But it is difficult to trust them by watching today's performance. Although the whole team should never be evaluated by a match. However, to be a reliable team, they have to do well consistently.

Yeah, cricket is game of chance and on the game day any team can do upset which is also on cards today Nepal lost their match after having five wins which is still good record for them in previous matches they beat teams like Scotland and Namibia which are having better system and quality, but recently we also have good change in Nepal's performance as well which is good because right now we need few teams which have native players despite teams which are taking advantage of adopted players and have no domestic setup and chance for bringing native players in this game.

Today Nepali bowlers done good job and restricted UAE at the score of 207 but sadly in reply their batting lineup also have problems and fail to chase this target, just Kushal Malla having some resistance, but he fails as no other batsman able to give him company for chasing this small target.

After Bangladesh lost by three wickets to England in the first match, Bangladesh will play the second ODI match again today. The toss will end shortly. However, in the first ODI match, we could see that Bangladesh bowled very well and put England under pressure in the end. If they can make some improvement in bowling and batting like in the first ODI, then I think Bangladesh can win this match today.  Bangladesh and England are likely to field today with unchanged XIs.

Bangladesh and England match has already been tossed. Bangladesh won the toss and bowled. So far there have been series between Bangladesh and England. Bangladesh has not won a single series till date. In today's game if Bangladesh can put them under pressure by bowling well. If it gives a target in a few runs. It is expected that Bangladesh can win.

[Sithara007]

England got a good start against Bangladesh so far. They are at 25/0 after 6 overs. Phil Salt and Jason Roy are looking comfortable out there against the pace/spin duo of Taskin Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan. These two are probably the best bowlers in Bangladesh squad, and it will be a big morale booster for England if they can get around the opening spell without losing any wickets. Ah.... I didn't completed my post.. and they lost their first wicket. Taskin Ahmed picks up the wicket of Phil Salt and now the ever-reliable Dawid Malan has come to the crease.

In the first ODI it was Dawid Malan who made England win the match. Jason Roy is batting good and from the beginning Phil Salt wasn't steady to play good shots and have lost his wicket. Jason Roy and Malan need to make good partnership to keep the scoring constant and set a good target. In 10 overs 40 runs scored by England, I expect the score to be 280+ runs. India holds the record of highest chasing(330 runs) in Sher-e-Bangla stadium. Out of 230 ODI matches played in Sher-e-Bangla stadium only 14 innings have crossed 300+ runs.

In today's match, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl. I think this is a good decision for them. If England team plays to the target they can easily reach the target of victory as they have shown in the last match Bangladesh team has decided to bowl ‍for deserving the fact. The England team has already managed to score 40 runs in 10 overs with the loss of one wicket. The batsmen are batting very cautiously as the pitch is not positive for the them. I recognize the decision of chasing will play an important role in this match.

[Sithara007]

Just when they looked set, England loses yet another wicket. Dawid Malan got out to Hasan Miraz for just 11. Jason Roy is still out there and now James Vince have joined him. England has stepped up the run rate and now they are 85/2 after 16 overs. IMO, they should get somewhere around 250-300. At the lower end of the range, Bangladesh still has a chance. But if it gets close to 300, then the match will definitely slip out of their hand. One advantage for Bangladesh is that Jofra Archer is not playing in today's match. He was replaced with Saqib Mahmood.

England tour of Bangladesh The 2nd ODI match between these two teams has started today. After winning the toss, Bangladesh players have decided to bowl. England have now come out to bat. They have scored 111 runs in 22.4 overs. So far England have lost a mighty 3 wickets.  England is under a bit of pressure. But if England can play with the wickets now then they can score good runs in today's match. And if all out then England will not win this match.

[Sithara007]

England is able to maintain a good run rate, but they are losing wickets at regular intervals. Now Jos Buttler and Jason Roy are at the crease and they have added 40 runs for the 4th wicket. But half of the top and middle order is back in pavilion. They need to make sure that they don't lose anymore wickets before the 40th over. Jason Roy is looking very confident out there, scoring runs at a brisk pace. He is nearing to his century.

The match between Nepal and Papua New Guinea is ongoing at Dubai. This match is a part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, and is very crucial for Nepal if they want to finish at the 4th place. Already there is a 3 points gap between them and the United Arab Emirates. If they lose this match, then there is zero chance that they can overtake the UAE.

I think it was not a good decision to invite a team like England to bat after winning the toss.  Because Bangladesh is a bowling dependent team. Rather than batting with a target, they are more efficient at keeping the opposition under pressure by bowling. So since they won the toss, Bangladesh should have batted first and put up a good target against England and later bowled economically and kept wickets falling at regular intervals to create a chance for Bangladesh to win. Already 197 runs on the scoreboard at the end of 34.4 overs. Where the wickets are Jason Roy 130(122)* and Jos Buttler 38(38)*. Undoubtedly, a big target awaits Bangladesh today.

Nepal lost the game against UAE yesterday by 68 runs and that's a costly loss. Right now Nepal need 151 runs in 41 overs with 8 wickets in hand. PNG is worst performing team so far and has won only 3 matches so far. Nepal must win today's game as 179 is not a big target to chase.
Sam Curran has got 3 early wickets and Bangladesh are in deep trouble while chasing a target of 326. The game is very much over for Bangladesh unless Tamim and Shakib do some miracle.

Sam Curran just bullet for Bangladeshi Batsman

How can I see the Bangladesh Innings!! Three first class batsmen of Bangladesh Liton Das for 0 runs, Nazmul Hasan Shanto for 0 runs, Mushfiqur Rahim for 4 runs got out and went to previllion. If Sam Curran dismisses the three first-class batsmen of Bangladesh like this, then I am forced to say that Bangladesh will be all out before 150 runs. As a Bangladeshi citizen and supporter, I could not make a bigger comment for Bangladesh.

[impulse709]

In the 2nd match of the ODI series, Bangladesh cricket team won the toss first and welcomed England cricket team to bat. England cricket team batted first and set a target of 327 runs to Bangladesh cricket team. This is a very big target for Bangladesh. It is not at all possible for the Bangladesh cricket team to meet this target. The bowling line-up of Bangladesh cricket team was very weak. It remains to be seen how much the Bangladesh team can reduce the gap by batting in the second innings

I think that Nepal is going to lose today's match as well. They worked really hard to bowl out Papua New Guinea for 179 (Sompal Kami and Dipendra Singh Airee took 2 wickets each). But in return they are at 55/5. Wicket keeper Aasif Sheikh is still there with 28 n.o, but none of the other batsmen have passed double digits. If one more wicket falls, then the tail will start with Karan KC and Sompal Kami, and with that it will be all over for Nepal. This was such a crucial match for Nepal. If they lose it, they have only themselves to blame.
