United Arab Emirates vs United States of America

Asif Khan's presence at the crease is undoubtedly crucial for UAE to post respectable totals. With two batsmen already hitting half centuries Khan's experience and current form could prove to be the difference between scores of 260 and 300. The USA bowling attack will also target Khan's wicket to restrict UAE to a low total. It will be interesting to see how Khan plays under pressure and if he can take UAE to a competitive total. UAE's lower order batsmen will also need to step up and contribute to the team total. They will have to bat wisely and rotate the strike to support Khan and ensure that UAE reach a challenging total.

Between these two teams, United Arab Emirates and United States of America, I cannot predict which team will win today. United Arab Emirates batted first and gave a target of 279 runs in 50 overs. United States took the field to bat. Scored 118 runs in 22.4 overs.  United States batsman Saiteja Mukkamalla scored 43 runs off 44 balls. Sushant Modani was dismissed with 39 runs off 49 balls.

USA collected 167 runs losing only 2 wickets. USA's top order batsmen are batting very well. USA need 113 runs to win in 18 overs. About 6 runs needed per over to win. As the USA lost only two wickets, the match still seemed to be completely in the USA's control. A good performance from the bowlers is definitely needed if UAE wants to win the match. There is no chance of UAE winning this match if USA is not able to pick up some wickets quickly.
On the other hand, Namibia won easily against Jersey. Jersey set a target of 214 runs. Today, Namibia reached the target of victory in just 32.1 overs.

USA is in good position after 36 overs, scoring 188 runs losing the openers wickets. 92 runs from 84 balls will be easily reached by USA. The player who is taking USA towards the win, Saiteja Mukkamalla have scored 69* runs and he's just 18 years of age. The match between USA and UAE can be considered equally, because both the teams were of players with India and Pakistan origin than the natives.

United States have completely taken over the match and now need 21 runs from just 19 balls. With such an equation, winning the match is only a matter of time. According to the style of play of the United States, it was evident that the bowlers of the United Arab Emirates team were not able to dominate. They were able to score 279 runs in 50 overs but even such a big score, United States took control very easily. United States batting skills must also be appreciated in this match.

The USA won today's match quite easily. Had UAE collected more than 300, they might have been able to win. One of the reasons for the UAE's defeat was their poor bowling. If controlled bowling, the match would have been enjoyable. USA reached the target with the loss of just five wickets. Saiteja Mukkamalla played an excellent innings of 120 not out. USA and Namibia have won two out of three matches. Canada topped the table after winning both matches.

[JSRAW]

Lol, always hilarious to look at these team's roaster. It seems like local teams from India and Pakistan are playing against each other in some C- Grade club tournament.

It tells you how ICC works in general, they just want to tap the potential market, and that's it. Spreading the game is the last thing on their mind but will surely do all the virtue signaling.

The match just ended, with USA winning the match with 6 balls to spare. UAE gave a good target of 279 runs and it's mainly because of Asif Khan ton. UAE batting was superb but there 7 bowlers were not able to pick wickets. USA Saiteja Mukkamalla was unbeaten on 120 runs. UAE need to improve there bowling performance if they wanna remain in the competition. Right now they are at number 4 position.

[Sithara007]

USA is in good position after 36 overs, scoring 188 runs losing the openers wickets. 92 runs from 84 balls will be easily reached by USA. The player who is taking USA towards the win, Saiteja Mukkamalla have scored 69* runs and he's just 18 years of age. The match between USA and UAE can be considered equally, because both the teams were of players with India and Pakistan origin than the natives.

In case of Saiteja Mukkamalla, he was born in Plainsboro, New Jersey. So he is a native born citizen of the United States. But the same can't be said about other players such as Shayan Jahangir, Monank Patel, Gajanand Singh and Jessy Singh. And in case of the United Arab Emirates, none of the players have citizenship of that country, and none of the them were born there. It was a very hard-fought win for the United States. They have two matches remaining, and probably need to win both the matches to qualify for the next round (2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier).

USA got an easy win in the qualifying round,  they had beaten UAE easily although UAE gave a good target to chase but USA batting lineup was outstanding today and Saiteja Mukkamalla scored a brilliant century.

[Sithara007]

USA got an easy win in the qualifying round,  they had beaten UAE easily although UAE gave a good target to chase but USA batting lineup was outstanding today and Saiteja Mukkamalla scored a brilliant century.

They might have won today, but there is no guarantee that they will finish among the top-2, so that they will gain direct entry to the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. So far the US has won 2 out of the 3 matches. Their two remaining matches are against Papua New Guinea and Jersey. These two are perhaps the weakest teams in the tournament, so they do have a very good chance of qualifying. Namibia also have 2 wins from 3 matches, and their remaining matches are against United Arab Emirates and Canada (relatively tougher opponents).

[crunck]

USA's bowling lineup is strong. They have some talented bowlers in their squad. However, the performance of the UAE batsmen today was quite good. They managed to set a target of 280 runs. Asif Khan batted brilliantly today. He was able to score 103 runs off just 84 balls. It is difficult for the USA to win the match, but it is not impossible. If USA's top order plays well, they will be able to win the match.

Jersey managed to set a target of 214 runs. It seems that it is enough to fight. If the bowlers perform well, the match will become competitive. Namibia lost their opener before they could score any runs. If Jersey's bowlers can pick up a few wickets in the power play then the match will be competitive.

UAE posted a total of 279 in 50 overs. This is certainly a tough task for the USA team. They are certainly not experienced enough. But the thing is the track does look good in this match.

Any batting side was doing well in this match. So I thought the USA was going to do well in this match. And that's exactly what happened. USA was able to win the match with one over left. They also won by 5 wickets. This is certainly a good performance from the USA. Saiteja who was certainly the best performer for the USA.

[ZAINmalik75]

USA was able to win the match with one over left.

I taught that United Arab Emirates is strong side than USA and they will easily defend huge target of 300 but unfortunately due spectacular performance from the young teen Saiteja Mukkamalla who scored first every ODI century of his career, due to his sunsational inning of 120 runs United States of America get the required target, now according to point table united Arab Emirates need to win his remaining three matches in order to qualify for ODI world cup in India, while the other strong contender is Namibia who can qualify for world cup too.

[Unknown Op]

USA is in good position after 36 overs, scoring 188 runs losing the openers wickets. 92 runs from 84 balls will be easily reached by USA. The player who is taking USA towards the win, Saiteja Mukkamalla have scored 69* runs and he's just 18 years of age. The match between USA and UAE can be considered equally, because both the teams were of players with India and Pakistan origin than the natives.

In case of Saiteja Mukkamalla, he was born in Plainsboro, New Jersey. So he is a native born citizen of the United States. But the same can't be said about other players such as Shayan Jahangir, Monank Patel, Gajanand Singh and Jessy Singh. And in case of the United Arab Emirates, none of the players have citizenship of that country, and none of the them were born there. It was a very hard-fought win for the United States. They have two matches remaining, and probably need to win both the matches to qualify for the next round (2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier).

Being a native born citizen of the United States makes Setija a unique player on a team where many of his teammates were not born in the United States and may not hold U.S citizenship. This diversity brings a unique aspect to the game showing how cricket is a global game that brings people from different backgrounds together. It is also worth noting that UAE players do not have any citizenship ties to the country yet they show it in the game. The United States team hard fought win and their remaining matches add an element of suspense to the tournament and keep the audience engaged. It will be exciting to see how they perform in the next matches and if they make it to the next round of the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifiers.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand
The third match of the Sri Lanka vs New Zealand ODI series will start today. Sri Lanka lost the first match by a huge margin of 198 runs. New Zealand batted first and set a target of 275. With a target of 275 runs to win, Sri Lanka came down to bat and were all out for 76 runs. The second match was abandoned due to rain. They will perform well at home. I think New Zealand will probably win today's match. Who do you think will win today's match?

Agreed, the two teams having majority of the Indian and Pakistan players give such a look. Just went through the match details between the two teams, even the pics resemble it to be a match between two Asian teams, there is no touch of America.



ICC wants to bring the grown countries into cricket. It works on it, and succeeded in it. Similar is the scenario of Canada cricket team.

UAE and Oman teams are made up of players that are mostly from Pakistan or India. The Gulf countries policy is very strict in provision of citizenship. Teams like UAE and Oman are making cricket a joke by proving that you can make a national team that can play even World Cup and doesn't have any native player. Top 2 teams from this tournament will play World Cup Qualifier, so far Namibia and Canada are at the top.

I think it's high time that we can conclude that Cricket is a game of Asians and it cannot be popular in the western world. Yes, if ICC wants to introduce more teams like USA or Canada, they won't be able to find native players in the team. However, there are many immigrants in these countries from India and Pakistan, who will make full use of this situation and will try to represent these countries.

If ICC makes rules that only native players need to be included in the national team, then the situation can be different but then where will these nations get the native players 

[Sithara007]

Today is one of the most crucial days as far the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League is concerned. Sri Lanka are playing their last match in the league, against New Zealand. If they win this match, then they will end up with 91 points. But the problem for them is that South Africa has 78 points and they have two matches remaining against Netherlands. So in case they win both these matches, then they will end up with 98 points and qualify ahead of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won the toss today and elected to bat first. They are now at 7/0 after 1.2 overs.

[Mr.corol]

Sri Lanka won the toss today and elected to bat first. They are now at 7/0 after 1.2 overs.

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat. So far they have collected 103 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 25.4 overs. They are very under pressure now. They now have to hold on to wickets or they may be all out before 200 runs. Angelo Mathews and Kushal Mendis were dismissed for no runs.

[pakhitheboss]

8 wickets down just for 135 runs. You can't expect anything from this Srilankan side. To add to thier misery they won the toss and choose to bat first. What were they thinking? Only a miracle from Srilankan bowler can help them. Another match completely dominated by the Kiwis team. This not even the full Kiwi side and still they playing so good.

Sri Lanka's chances of scoring 200 runs are very slim. Sri Lanka managed to collect 144 runs after losing 8 wickets. For Sri Lanka, opener Pathum Nissanka was able to score the maximum 57 runs. Unfortunately, he ran out and returned to the dressing room. It seems Sri Lanka will lose all wickets between 160-180. Matt Henry bowled brilliantly. Bowling 9 overs, he gave only 13 runs and was able to take 3 wickets. Daryl Mitchell and Henry Shipley also bowled well.

[onecall123]

BlackCaps did a great jobs! They truly outstanding on the field with their exceptional bowling performance, ultimately helps leading the team in front. Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, and Henry Shipley each displayed their impressive skills by taking three wickets apiece. As a result, Sri Lankan batters suffered and bowled out for just 157 runs. New Zealand just only need 158 runs to win. While defending a small total, Sri Lankan blowers made an impressive start by taking 3 early wickets.
