ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Sithara007]

UAE finally performed good after so many matches with horrible batting today despite of a good target they chased it pretty well . Claps for Muhammad Wasim for his exceptional batting and this player of UAE has always performed despite of horrible batting by all other players.

United Arab Emirates has one match remaining, and that is going to be against a strong Nepal. Right now they are having 33 points. Even if they win the next match (which is very unlikely), they are likely to remain at the 6th place as the US (5th placed team) is having a much better run rate compared to the UAE. However, if Nepal wins, then they may overtake Namibia with 40 points (Namibia has 39 points after finishing all their matches). The final standing will have a huge impact on the level of ICC funding that these teams receive in the next cycle (2024-2027).

PNG vs UAE

Papua New Guinea and United Arab Emirates are in the stadium now. PNG won the toss and elected to bat first. And PNG lost 2 wickets in just 11 overs and made only 27 runs. And the Current Run Rate is 2.4 which quite low. In my view the United Arab Emirates is looking strong in this match. But we can't predict now. Let's see who will win.

Papua New Guinea have been playing very poorly and they have finished with almost 16 overs but have scored only 49 runs and have lost two wickets in the process.  They are able to hold their wicket a bit but are not able to collect good runs. So I don't think they can give a maximum target of 150 runs. So it seems that United Arab Emirates can win this match although I am not very familiar with these two teams but my prediction indicates it.

Papua New Guinea managed to score 63 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. What I feel is that this team will not be able to score too many runs if the top order goes down early. However, it is very difficult to predict any team in cricket now. Any strong team can lose against any circumstances. But approximately they can score between 150 or 200 runs in this match. In today's match, United Arab Emirates probably win the match.

I thought Papua New Guinea might not be able to score more than 150 but they scored 234 but for an ODI match this score is not too high as it is only possible to score in T20 matches.  United Arab Emirates  completed the target set by the Papua New Guinea in just 38.4 overs. The match was too easy for United Arab Emirates to win. And they won the match easily with 38.4 overs and 4 wickets

After 4 consecutive loss UAE finally mange to win an ODI againest PNG. The last match will be important for both teams as winner will go one rank up in the table. For UAE funding might not be biggest concern since there country is one of richest in the world but for Nepal the ICC funding is very important for futher development of cricket in the country.

The UAE's performance declined badly. We have consistently seen poor performances from this team. Even against PNG, UAE were badly beaten in their last three matches. But they played well enough in the last match. And won easily. The UAE team is good enough. There are several talented players in the UAE team. But their performance is not stable. Had the performance of the UAE players been consistent, the team would have been capable of performing well against the likes of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. I guess the UAE team will host series against the likes of Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Bangladesh in the future.

The UAE cricket team has had some inconsistent performances in the past, but it is important to note that cricket is a game of uncertainty, and even the best teams have their ups and downs. That being said, the UAE team has some talented players and has shown in the past that they can compete with some of the strongest teams in world cricket. It is possible that with more consistent performance and better team strategy, they can achieve better results in the future.
Hosting a series against the likes of Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Bangladesh could be a good opportunity for the UAE team to gain more experience and boost their confidence, especially as these teams are also looking to improve their performance in international cricket. Trying to improve.

Lack of consistency in cricket is a common problem of the UAE team. They sometimes perform so well that deserves praise but sometimes they lose that consistency and their good performance is not appreciated. But in this stage Nepal has come a long way from that place.
I think these smaller teams could have had a good experience if they had the chance to play with a few good teams like Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Srilanka.

Nepal has shown some brilliant performances in recent ODI and their chances of winning are more in next match than UAE. 
UAE has won today's match but their performance is inconsistent and batting is weak so you can never tell how things will be in next match with them.

UAE has not been consistent at all. And a big reason for that is no player in the team can be trusted to perform well in any situation. The only reason UAE won this match against Papua New Guinea was Muhammad Waseem scored a century.

I understand he played well and the other players played around him and supported him. But imagine he does not get the century. Imagine he gets out after getting into the 50s. I do not think it was going to be so easy for the UAE to win this match as well. After all, they have lost four in a row. So the confidence is not the highest as well for the UAE.

The match is important for Nepal. If they win, they will finish as 3rd in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. They will retain their ODI status (although it is mostly nominal) and they will participate in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. In case of UAE, irrespective of whether they win or lose today's match, they are likely to remain at the 6th position in points table. They will be participating in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off. And I agree with you. Funding from the ICC is not important for teams such as UAE and Oman. In fact, the Oman representative in the ICC is a strong supporter of the pig-4 system.

If UAE wins today they will finish 5th in this tournament since they will get 3 more points which will take them above USA. Nepal understand importance of today's match. Nepal need wikcets as UAE has scored 78 runs and lost only one wikcet. Nepal must try to restrict UAE under 250 otherwise it will be difficult to win the game.
Nepal got up in the points table after there 5 consecutive wins in last part of the tournament. If they have performed well in the start things will be little bit more in favour of Nepal.

If we look on this season and we will see that mostly teams played and made runs below 270. And according to this the United Arab Emirates team is going good and made 122 runs on 3 wickets loss. And in 23 overs. And the Current run rate is 5.13, and if the players maintain this run rate well so the UAE team will cross 250 runs. Which will be little bit difficult for the Nepal team to chase.

But I don't think that 250 runs target is a big burden for Nepal team. Because they are now quite experienced. If you look at the previous match, Nepal managed to score 248 runs against UAE but against that, UAE were all out for 71 runs. UAE team lacks consistency and will lose all wickets at any moment. Currently they have managed to score 133 runs in 30 overs losing 4 wickets. However, in today's match, UAE will be able to set a target of 250 runs.

[Sithara007]

Going with the current rate, it seems like United Arab Emirates may end up with somewhere around 300. Right now they are at 150/4. Two of the experienced players - Rohan Mustafa and Vriitya Aravind are at the crease. And remember that this is a must-win match for Nepal. If they lose this one, then they may end up with 38 points and at the 4th place in points table (Namibia has 39 points currently and they are at the 3rd place now). Nepal needs a miracle now and somehow need to restrict the UAE to 230-240.

UAE started really good they maintained a good run rate and again Muhammad waseem played a mature innings for its team , now after 34 overs UAE is on 155 runs with 4 wickets loss.
With this pace they can score 250 runs easily if they don't stumble.

Vriitya Aravind is also on fire and still not out made 71 runs for 115 balls. And with him Asif Khan. If they will play wisely and will remain this partnership till end they can easily go up from 250 runs. Muhammad Waseem played really played well 63 runs on 49 balls. By the way I am looking that this match is going to be a very interesting match. Nepal performance will may surprise us.

Vriitya Aravind and Muhammad Wasim have done major damage to Nepal. The worrying thing for Nepal is that Vriitya Aravind is still not out on 78 and still 6 overs play remaining.
Nepal bowlers have done good job as they have picked wickets and slowed down the run rate but the job is not yet over. They must try to restrict UAE by 250 or even less.

[Sithara007]

United Arab Emirates is scoring at around 6 runs per over, and they may step up the scoring rate in the last few overs. At this point, they are 191/5 after 41 overs. Another 70-80 runs will take them to 270, which is a very defendable total. And they managed to score this despite the fact that two of the Nepali spinners (Lalit Rajbanshi and Dipendra Singh Airee) conceded less than 3 runs per over in their spells. Nepal needs some quick wickets now, else the match will rapidly slip out of their control. And they definitely don't want to lose this match, after performing so well during the last few weeks.

Nepal done amazing stuff in last 11 matches as now they have won 10 out of 11 which is surely one of the best from them for having current fourth spot and now if they won against the UAE in last match then third spot is available for them which could be amazing stuff because things are changing for them in long run after long bad period hopefully in coming years they could be improving their quality and able to have better results which will help them for having better help form ICC as well.

Right now, few teams are surely doing good with their limited resources like Nepal and PNG which are completely having native players even their financial situation is not good, but results are changing things for them and their hard work.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. absolute mayhem at Kirtipur. United Arab Emirates collected 89 runs from the last 5 overs, to finish at 310/6. Asif Khan (former first class player from Pakistan who has represented Lahore Lions in the Champions League) smashed 101 runs from just 42 balls. The inexperienced Nepal bowlers were smashed all around the park by Asif and Vriitya Aravind. And the innings ended in anti-climax, with Sompal Kami picking up the wicket of Vriitya Aravind in the last ball. He missed the century by just 6 runs. Nepal may lose this match and end up in the 4th place within the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2.

Almost all players in UAE squad are from Pakistan and they have played first class cricket in Pakistan. They have the edge with them. Asif Khan hundred will be forth fastest Hundred in ODI and that century has placed UAE right on the top. Nepal need to bat well, 310 is difficult but not impossible to chase. They need to keep this in mind that winning this game will bright there chances of playing world cup.
