Scotland vs Nepal

After yesterday's win against Namibia, the Scotland team is playing against Nepal today. I think Nepal is a weaker team than Namibia. Scotland will probably have no problem winning this match. Scotland's team is much stronger than Nepal's. Scotland collected 43 runs after losing 1 wicket at the end of 9 overs. If the Scotland team is able to provide a target of more than 220 then they will have no problem winning this match. But if the target is less than 200 it is difficult to win the match. But the way Scotland started their innings, they seem to be batting with a mindset of giving away a target of 250+ today.

Scotland team made 212 runs and now the Nepal team has the target of 213 runs and Nepal team's three wickets are down now. And in fifteen overs Nepal has made only  58 runs. Nepal has less chances to win the match. Scotland performance is good and in this match the winning rate is in the favor of Scotland. But at this time it is difficult to predict with accuracy that who will win.

But at this time it is difficult to predict with accuracy that who will win.

Nepal needs 88 runs from 21 overs. Unfortunately, they lost seven wickets already and are unlikely to win the match. The only hope is Rohit Paudel at this moment. He is still on the crease and scored 50 runs from 54 balls. If another side's batter can stick in the crease, You may turn the match for Nepal. They have enough overs. The required run rate is 4.15, which is not high for the ODI match. Scottish bowler Mark Watt still has three overs to bowl. Nepal will try to play him carefully as he is bowled well today.

Nepal batsmen are not playing well today. Kushal Malla scored 17 runs and Dipendra Sigh Airee returned to the fold with just 1 run. The team had high expectations from these two players. But they cannot play well. But Rohit Paudel is playing very well. He is unbeaten with 55 runs. If Rohit Paudel and one more batsman would have been able to play well, Nepal would have had a chance to win. But no other batsman in the team can play well. Nepal lost 8 wickets to collect 139 runs. Scotland is going to win this match.

There is no consistency in the performance of Nepal players. The team that chased 274 runs in its previous meet wasn't able to reach the target of 212 runs shows how bad is the performance of Nepal team. Nepal should've made better plans and followed it, because the score is low and the required run rate is 4.24 runs. Anyhow it is almost lost situation for Nepal. Mark Watt who performed well against the Namibia team have done the same now taking 3 wickets.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. I never expected that Nepal would be able to win. When I checked the scores, Nepal was struggling at 138/8, with another 75 runs needed for a win. The 20-year old Rohit Paudel played an excellent innings, by scoring 95 not-out from 101 balls, and Karan KC provided him with excellent support for the 9th wicket partnership. And apart from Mark Watt (and to some extent Brandon McMullen), the other Scottish bowlers failed to impress. Sandeep Lamichhane performed well in this match as well, bagging 4/45.

Scotland has now completed their campaign in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. They have 50 points from 36 matches and are miles ahead of any of the other teams. Nepal got some valuable points during this series, but they are at 6th position with just 26 points. If they can overtake the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates, then they can get to the 4th position.

Really an unexpected performance from the young batsman Rohit Paudel and the bottom order player Karan. I watched the match when Rohit Paudel was at 65 runs and Karan at 10 runs. I thought this is going to be an easy win for Scotland. Awesome batting from Rohit Paudel, and he missed the century by a small margin. The country will celebrate him for what he had done.

If Nepal continue to play likewise, surely it can reach higher ranks. The team needs to have some confident play, because everytime someone at the bottom can't help. Today the required runrate is less, so they were able to play without pressure. If not the pressure to score will end the match easily.

Nepal will win this match which was totally unexpected result. However, after Scotland set a target of just 213 runs, I thought Nepal would win the match easily. But Nepal started losing wickets very quickly. Even from the top order, we don't see any good innings. Rohit Paudel played well today. Nepal's team won because of his great batting. Rohit was unbeaten on 95 runs. Karan KC's innings of 31 runs were also much needed. Nepal's team won because of the responsible batting of these two batsmen. Nepalese players are now performing much better than Scotland and Namibia. I have really liked the performance of the Nepali players in the last few matches. UAE and Nepal have been playing very well in recent times.

Nepal has less chances to win the match. Scotland performance is good and in this match the winning rate is in the favor of Scotland. But at this time it is difficult to predict with accuracy that who will win.

Scotland vs Nepal match ended in drama. The target was too low. A target of 213 runs was not big on such a pitch. However, the performance of Nepal's top-order batsmen was very poor. Nepal lost 7 wickets for just 114 runs. Even then I thought there was no chance of Nepal winning this match. Even then we saw responsible batting from Rohit Paudel. He was unbeaten on 95 runs. Due to such responsible batting, Nepal was able to win this match. The Nepal team has some excellent batsmen. Among them are Rohit Paudel, Kushal Malla and Dipendra.

If they can overtake the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates, then they can get to the 4th position.

So it was there captain Rohit Paudel along with Karan KC that took them to victory. It was Nepal second consecutive win against Scotland, and overall, they now they very decent record against Scotland in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Total 6 matches played, and both sides have now won 3 matches. Nepal has 12 more matches to play and if they can beat team like Scotland then surely they beat other teams also.

You are saying it as Drama but I was thinking that it was an amazing match. Means Nepal has only 3 wickets left and there was 100 runs which they have the target to achieve their win. At that time I was also thinking that the Nepal has lost match but Rohit Paudel captain of the Nepal team played amazing and made 95 runs and not out. The match really amazing. I really enjoyed the match.

Until the match is over, it is foolish to speculate. You may have seen the entire game. Although none of the batsmen in the Nepal cricket team played well, the unbeaten batsman Rohit Paudel took his team to the brink of victory with great responsibility. Rohit Paudel has earned a lot of reputation by batting brilliantly in this match. Yes I admit that Scotland are a very good team. But that doesn't mean a team will always play well

None thought this match to be a win for Nepal and the same had made people mention it a drama. In recent days it is common to see the bottom order of the teams playing well and in a much responsible manner than the openers who are the key players of the team. These players in the lower order need to be given opportunity to play at the top order and can understand their ability. Rohit Paudel is quite young and I'm sure he'll be a big player for Nepal.

Nepal has seen such a victory in several matches. Where the low order batsmen were so strong that even a match dreamed of winning was lost to the opposition. I have to praise Nepal cricket. They have progressed a lot in cricket. If good cricketers are available in lower order it will be very effective for the team. But getting a reliable batsman at low order is very difficult. Karan KC came from last position in the batting line-up and scored big for the team as well as snatched the victory for Nepal.

Nepal still has a long way to go. Though they have been able to beat top teams of this league i.e. Scotland and Namibia, still they are standing at number 6 on points table. There are two teams of expats aka U.A.E and Oman that are stopping teams of local players in making it to ICC events. ICC must have some policy regarding inclusion of expats in team. If this pattern continuous then Teams like Nepal and PNG will never make it to main ICC events.

I think Nepal's success is late but it is coming now. In the last few matches, they have improved tremendously in both the batting and bowling sectors. If they could have kept this flow from the beginning, it would have been a lot of pressure free for them now. But let's see if they can maintain this flow now or if they will back the performance like before.

Nepal certainly had to play well. Because towards the end it was not sure if they would have actually won the match or not. Of course, it is not easy for Nepal to beat a team like Scotland. And right now Nepal is proving that they are not a bad team anymore. But again it is going to be important for them to perform consistently. Otherwise, these wins here and there are not going to mean anything.

Namibia vs United Arab Emirates
The next match is gonna starting at tomorrow. The current conditions of both team is not good. Namibia not 4 match constantly on the Others hand United Arab Emirates  their three match from four match. So I think current conditions of both team is now equally.
Even then Namiba is two step ahead in the from the ranking on point table. But I think despite the poor condition of Namibia, the team is better or stronger than United Arab Emirates in both sector batting and bowling. So in my opinion Namiba's win probability is much.

Both the teams are equally positioned based on their past few match results. We don't know the how far this match gonna have its result. United Arab Emirates used to win matches that aren't predicted to be a win for them. On the other side Namibia used to score good runs, so these matches turns out to be interesting as the previous match between Nepal and Scotland where unpredictable chasing took place.

The two matches against United Arab Emirates are the last remaining ones for Namibia in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. They have already played 34 matches (winning 18 of them) and two more are remaining. For the United Arab Emirates, a total of 10 matches are remaining and they will be playing most of them during this month and next month. For Namibia, not much is left to achieve. They have already finished ahead of the United States and there is little chance that one of the other teams will overtake them for the 3rd position. For the United Arab Emirates, these matches are important, because they want to finish ahead of Nepal in the points table.

Which Players do you think will retire after the ODIWC 2023?

I will go first. In my opinion, David Warner might announce his retirement from International cricket after this WC. Warner would be 37 by the time WC starts and he has already given a hint that he might retire in 2023. I do not think he will retire from all formats of cricket but if surely from Test & ODI.

Do you think from India will Rohit, Virat, Shikhar, or Jadeja will do the same?
