ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[noormcs5]

There is a big match for Nepal today. For the first time ever, they will face a tier-1 test nation in an ODI match. The match against West Indies will take place today at the Harare Sports Club. Nepal is in good momentum, after defeating the United States. But let's not forget the fact that they went down meekly against Zimbabwe in the first match. After today's match there is one more opportunity for Nepal, against the Netherlands. But a win today will be earth shattering for the Himalayan country. And for them, it is crucial to qualify for the Super-6.

Nepal was expected to win the first match but unfortunately Nepal lost to Zimbabwe. But Nepal got a comfortable win against USA in their second qualifying match. In their third match against West Indies, Nepal decided to field first after winning the toss. Today, these two teams will compete for survival in the next round of World Cup qualifiers. To go to the next round, Nepal has no option to win this match today but today's match against West Indies will not be easy for Nepal at all. Because West Indies are the top team in cricket but unfortunately they did not perform well in Super League due to which they have to play qualifiers. West Indies will undoubtedly be ahead in today's match.

Nepal started well as good players like West Indies lost two early wickets. However, as Nepal have lost their previous two matches, they will have to win this match if they want to play in the main event of the World Cup. However, West Indies batting and bowling are both very strong, let's see how many runs Nepal can stop them. However, West Indies will want to win this match to keep the points fresh. As Nepal won the toss and decided to field. Nepal will definitely want to bowl at their maximum to restrict the West Indies to few runs. Let's see which team wins in the end.

No doubt West Indies is a strong team but they have started badly in this match. The current score for West Indies is 60-3 which is not a good start against the weakest opponent Nepal. Brandon King was out at 32 and captain Shai Hope is playing at 25 runs. They need to build a partnership if they want to setup a good target for the Nepal.

From Nepal point of view, Karan KC, Gulsan Jha and Sandeep Lamichhane all took one wicket each but at some time, one of these bowlers have to take 3 or 4 wickets to put further dent in the West Indies innings.

Today 4 teams of ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier are playing with each other.
Ireland vs Scotland

Ireland is under a lot of pressure because many wickets have already fallen while batting. Ireland are performing very badly as Scotland's bowling is showing great performance which is why two wickets have been bowled out for 0 runs and wicket two is the best in batting. And won't score too many runs which is why I think Scotland will have no trouble winning. Because five wickets fell before 100 runs were completed. And so far Brandon McMullan has taken three wickets in four overs and conceded just six runs, contributing to Scotland's best bowling performance today.

Even if Ireland is in a difficult situation because multiple wickets fell early in their batting innings. Although Scotland bowling has undoubtedly performed admirably with two wickets falling for just 0 runs and their top batsman having trouble it is too soon to predict the outcome of the match. Ireland still has time to reverse the situation and post a respectable total despite the fact that five wickets have fallen before the completion of 100 runs. However it appears likely that Scotland will win if its bowlers particularly exceptional Brandon McMullan maintain their impressive form. So congrats to SCO for their outstanding performance and winning this exciting match.

Nepal have had a great start as they have so far picked up three wickets before West Indies' 100 runs. So far, West Indies have collected only 89 runs for three wickets at the end of 20 overs, in the first 20 overs they have failed to score 5 runs per over against Nepal. We had no doubts about Nepal's batting in this tournament only we would have said they will improve in the bowling department today they seem to be bowling well. If they can bowl consistently like this and keep wickets falling at regular intervals then it will not be difficult for Nepal to win this match. As only 20 overs have been played, it is not possible to say how many runs West Indies can score in the first innings. And if the game of ten is passed, it will be understood how the score in the first innings of West Indies can be.

The bowlers of the Nepal team in today's match have become deadly. From the beginning of the game, it is noticed that the bowling of Nepal team is very strong. The bowlers of the Nepal cricket team put the West Indies batsmen under a lot of pressure. I think the batsmen of the West Indies cricket team will fail to overcome this pressure in today's match. The telling state of the Nepal team can always put West Indies under pressure like this. Then West Indies will not be able to score very big

[synchronym]

West Indies were under a bit of pressure as Nepal undoubtedly played brilliantly early on as they lost three wickets in a row. But Shai Hope and pooran West Indies two players are playing very well they both scored half century it is very nice to read the load between them. Shai Hope looks like he can score century by his pace. Now Nepalese should break this partnership.  If this partnership scores a century then the run will increase a lot then Nepal will not have the match in hand. Because the West Indies bowler also bowls well. In that case, Nepal should break this pair. If Nepal can't break this pair, then there will be a huge mountain of runs in front of them. It will be very difficult for Nepal to make those runs.

West Indies vs Nepal World Cup Qualifier Match. Nepal won the toss and decided to bowl. Losing the toss and batting, West Indies collected 200 runs for 3 wickets in 36 overs. West Indies were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets in the beginning. Nicholas Pooran and Shai Hope both led the team with excellent performances. Shai scored 85 runs off 98 balls, and a few runs would be centuries. Nicholas Puran is unbeaten on 79 off 66 balls. West Indies can score 320+ today. I think West Indies will win today.

Nepal team is not able to show excellence in bowling. The team could not bowl well against West Indies in today's match as well. At this point, West Indies have collected 318 in 48 overs. If they collect 15 more runs in the remaining two overs, they will be able to make a score of around 333 or more. However, today's match Nepal team need victory to play against such a big target, they must stay long in their wickets. Otherwise they may be knocked out from the match. If the Nepal team could have taken two wickets Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran quickly, the match might have been completely under their control. Both of the two batsmen able to score century in today's match.

West Indies came out to bat first and set a target of 339 runs in 50 overs. West Indies team batsmen Shai Hope and Pooran batted brilliantly. Shai Hope scored 132 runs from 129 balls. Nicholas Pooran scored 115 runs from 94 balls. It seems that these two batsmen are T20 match.  came to the field to play. However, the rest of the batsmen of the West Indies team could not make good runs. If the rest of the batsmen could have batted well, then West Indies could have given the target of more runs.

Both of the two batsmen able to score century in today's match.

The batting of West Indies is already over and they have scored 339 runs in this match which is a very higher number of runs against a team like Nepal. In this match Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran are the man of the match because they have made higher than 100 runs in this match. I agree that Nepal team was very weak in bowling against West Indies and they have allowed West Indies to make such high runs against them, but it's also a fact that West Indies team is far more superior than Nepal team in Cricket and they can be very competitive for team like Nepal.

From the current statistics the Nepal team has made only 23 runs in 4.2 over, and already their 2 players are out. If they continue playing like this than the match will be a total loss for the Nepal team. I don't think that they will be able to win this match against West Indies today, and I'm pretty sure that it would be very difficult for Nepal team to score runs anywhere close to 300, and I think that even 280 would be a tough target for Nepal team against West Indies. Let's see what they will do in this match and I hope they will somehow do good scores.

Nepal might be going to lose one more match. Because a huge target of 340 runs against a team like West Indies does not seem to be possible for Nepal. Nepal forgot how they started and could not hold on to the end. Where the first 20 overs were less than a hundred, West Indies scored 250 plus runs in the next 30 overs. Nepal has already lost 2 wickets very quickly after coming down to bat with a target of 340 runs. They have a huge target in front of them but they don't have enough wickets. The wicket that is there may not last long against the West Indies bowlers. 
Like the huge defeat against Zimbabwe, maybe a similar defeat awaits Nepal against the West Indies.

Group A, 9th match Nepal vs West Indies ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Match. Looking at the batting start of the West Indies cricket team, I thought West Indies would fail to score 200 runs in today's match. West Indies cricket team was in a batting disaster till 20 overs in the first innings game, but later West Indies took over the entire game. West Indies team Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran's great pair changed the character of the entire innings. The West Indies cricket team has given a target of 340 runs to the Nepal cricket team with a total of 2 centuries of these two players of the West Indies team. 339 runs is a huge achievement for the West Indies cricket team

[SamReomo]

Nepal team has lost total of 5 wickets in 22.1 overs and their current score is 92 runs. They still need more than 248 runs in 27.5 overs to win the match which is not going to happen. This match will remind Nepal team that they should prepare themselves very well in order to face tough teams. The West Indies team has been dominating other teams in the ODI matches and they are one of the toughest teams out there. Nepal can't stand a chance against them, and they won't be able to cross 280 runs score if they continue batting like this. I hope that Nepal team will improve themselves further after this match so they can play well against Netherlands team on 24th of June.

It seems unbelievable to me that the Nepal team will score 340 runs against an experienced team like West Indies and win. It is true that the Nepalese team has improved a lot in a short period of time. But they are not yet experienced enough. Although the team has many talented players, they do not know how to play against big teams or experienced bowlers. And so I am sure that Nepal will be defeated. And I think Nepal will lose today by more than 120 margins. And the team has already lost 6 wickets to collect 129 runs.

No doubt Nepal perform well in order to qualify for Asia Cup but dud it's world Cup here each and every team delivered more than his best to qualify for the next round, currently west indies are dominating his opponent as firstly through batting they scored 339 with the contribution of Hope and pooran sunsational centuries . Now during target defend they grab the Nepal team before done any damage  and dismissed his important wickets, now Required run rate is far away to chasedown, so it's almost confirmed that they gonna lose it...

USA V Netherlands

I was watching the USA vs Netherlands match today. Although I was sure that the Netherlands would win today. Because the Netherlands team is more experienced than the USA. They have been associated with cricket for a long time.
The USA batted and set a target of just 212 runs. 211 runs on such a pitch was not a good collection. Shayan Jahangir scored the highest 71 runs for the team. The Netherlands captain used 6 of his bowlers and each managed to pick up a wicket. The Netherlands managed to collect 195 runs after losing 5 wickets in 41 overs. The Netherlands needs only 17 runs from 53 balls to win. Scott Edwards remained unbeaten on 52 runs.

In tomorrow's ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Match there is one match that is easy to predict and this will be our chance to bet on it.
The match between Scotland and the United Arab Emirates.
I'm staking on Scotland in tomorrow's game and hopefully the hope for Scotland to win really comes true.

At this point, Scotland is one of the strongest associate nations. But we can't ignore the fact that the United Arab Emirates contains a number of former first class players from India and Pakistan. I would say that Scotland would be the favorites, but they may get a tough fight from the UAE. A win tomorrow would make it easier for Scotland to qualify for the Super-6. Oman and Sri Lanka have almost confirmed their berth and Scotland may be the third team to qualify from Group B. But that would also mean that Ireland will not qualify for the Super-6.

And I think Nepal will lose today by more than 120 margins. And the team has already lost 6 wickets to collect 129 runs.

Although at times I thought Nepal would lose all wickets before 200. But your guess is somewhat correct. Nepal was defeated by a margin of 101 runs. This is not a bad result for Nepal. At least I think so. This team is not very old in cricket. They have little experience playing against big teams. Still, they put up a good fight. Had the bowlers been able to perform a bit better, today's match would have been much more competitive. My expectations from Nepal will be a bit higher in the next Asia Cup.

Not a bad result. But at the same time, not a great result as well. They had West Indies struggling at 9/2 after 4 overs, but then allowed Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran to rebuild the innings. And in the last 15-20 overs, their bowlers looked as if they have given up. The Nepali bowlers were conceding 10-12 runs per over. With a bit more discipline they could have restricted West Indies to somewhere around 300. And given the fact that they managed to get to 238, it could have been a close match if they had done so. Anyway, the big challenge for Nepal would come when they will face India and Pakistan during the Asia Cup later this year.

Oman and Sri Lanka have almost confirmed their berth and Scotland may be the third team to qualify from Group B. But that would also mean that Ireland will not qualify for the Super-6.

There is no chance to call the UAE team weak. There are several talented players in this team. We have seen great performances from UAE in several matches in the past. But the problem is that the players are not in good form now. They lost their last two matches against Oman and Sri Lanka. Oman's team was not very strong. UAE's defeat in this match was completely unexpected. And with such a performance, victory against Scotland is impossible. Scotland's batting line-up is strong. And so if UAE wants to win against Scotland then the bowlers must play well. I don't see a chance for UAE to win this match unless the UAE bowlers perform well.
