Italy vs Saudi Arabia 5th match has already started. Italy team now comes out to bat. 3 wickets lost in 27 overs and now scored 129 runs. Italy team started batting badly now 3 wickets lost and Italy team is under a lot of pressure.  Zain Ul Abidin bowler of Saudi Arabia team took 1 wicket with 27 runs from 6 overs. Usman Najeeb took 1 wicket with 21 runs from 4 overs. Abdul Waheed took 1 wicket with 19 runs from 4 overs.

Italy's batsmen did not bat well in the beginning.  But they have given a big target of 284.  And that is a pretty good target.  And Saudi Arabia batsmen scored 163 runs in 37 overs and lost 6 wickets and will lose the match due to DSL and Italy team will win the match.The Italian bowler put in a lot of effort and struggle and stopped their runs for 37 overs and also took 6 wickets.  My congratulations to the Italian team for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.

Yes, in the beginning of the game, the batsmen of the Italian team performed poorly in batting, but later on, the batsmen of the Italian team managed to dominate themselves throughout the game. The Italian batsmen's "start" of the batting looked like they would be forced to end the batting with a very small score. But with the great performances of the Italian team batsmen Wayne Madsen, Garnt Stewart, and Rakibul Hasan, the Italian team managed to score a reliable score to win. Wayne Madsen's brilliant century in this match is highly commendable. Wayne Madsen scored 103 runs off 92 balls. The Italian team actually deserved to win this match.  Congratulations to the players of the Italian team for winning this match.

Netherlands vs Namibia match will start within short time at TU Cricket Ground (Stadium in Kirtipur, Nepal). This will be the 5th odi match of ICC CWC League 2. In 3rd ODI between Namibia vs Netherlands, team NED had won by 7 wickets against Namibia. Although Nepal is strong team but Namibia have defeated Nepal 2 times where Nepal defeated Netherland once already. But anyhow Namibia lost a match against Netherlands. I think this time Namibia should win as they are good enough to win as well as they proved their ability in recent Matches. So this match is going to be interesting.

I am looking forward to the match between Namibia and the Netherlands at the TU Cricket Ground in Nepal. It will be exciting to see these teams play in the ICC CWC League 2. The Netherlands won the last time they played Namibia but Namibia has also beaten Nepal twice. I think Namibia could win this time because they have been playing well recently. Namibia is giving a tough time to competitors. So I hope today again they will give a tough time to Netherlands.

Finally, we saw a score of over 200 in the ICC WCL2. Namibia won the match by 24 runs. Namibia scored 203 thanks to their lower-order batsmen. They were 77/5 at one stage of their innings, but the 6th wicket partnership of over 70 runs brought them back into the game. In response, the Netherland's batters were not able to chase this target. Jan Frylinck got the Player of the Match award for this beautiful all-round performance; he made 34 and took 3 wickets. This target was way too much for any team in the competition when we look at their past batting performances.

Italy managed another win today at the ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League Play-off. During the first match (vs Bermuda), it was the turn of Marcus Campopiano to hit a century for Italy and today it was the 40-year old Wayne Madsen who hit the century. There were sizable contributions from Grant Stewart and Rakibul Hasan as well, as Italy put up 284/7. And in return, fast bowler Stefano di Bartolomeo nabbed three top-order wickets, and that effectively ended the Saudi Arabian resistance. Further blows from Gareth Berg and Jaspreet Singh effectively ended the match in favor of Italy.

As far as I know Netherlands is much more danger side according to statistics when it come to T20 format while compared to them they are quite weak and off colour in ODI format, while at a same time thier opponent arrange his team in such rythm to deliver best and make his record more balance at every format. Anyway I was expecting Netherlands to win this important match as we have seen they does many time in past but unfortunately today results were not divert in thier favour. I think credit for this victory goes to Netherlands quality bowler who put such quality batter in trouble and didn't allow them to even chased down such small target and thus won this important match

And it's the first time in this tournament the first batting team had won a match. Though 4 of the Namibian batsmen were out on 1 or lower, a good number of them showed resistance on the pitch which is now infamous for difficulty to bat. Yet, they were not able to play the full 50 overs.
Netherlands too had a good chase, if just the opposite batsmen of Noah Croes were on crease a bit longer, He alone could have led Netherlands to win but 5 of the partners of Noah Croes were out before him. Even though Erasmus, the Namibian captain didn't have a good innings with bat, he was spectacular with bowl. And with this win Namibia has established themselves as a better team among the three.

Out of the three teams, Namibia is looking like the strongest one. They have won 3 out of the 4 matches so far. On the other hand, Nepal and Netherlands have won only one match each. The Dutch are looking like the weakest team in the competition, and it is quite surprising considering the fact that the Dutch performed really well during the 2023 ODI World Cup, winning matches against South Africa and Bangladesh. Perhaps the dependence on overseas players is a big disadvantage for Netherlands. On the other hand, Nepal and Namibia squads are 100% native.

The Netherlands batsmen were put under a lot of pressure after losing wickets in the beginning when they came down to bat against a target of 204 runs given by Namibia. Noah Croes has been responsible batting for Netherlands. Noah Croes is unbeaten with 46 runs from 56 balls with great batting. If any other batsman of today's Netherlands Noah Croes could have played in partnership with this player then maybe they would have won. However, they lost today's match against Namibia due to Netherlands batsmen not batting responsibly. Due to responsible bowling by Namibia, the Netherlands were bowled out for just 179 runs. The Namibian bowlers bowled exceptionally well, especially Jan Frylinck and Gerhard Erasmus, who both bowled brilliantly, taking three important wickets each  the Netherlands. Namibia beat Netherlands by 24 runs Congratulations to Namibia.

Anyone following the ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League Play-off? Right now Italy and Bahrain are topping Group A and Group B respectively and both these teams have one match remaining at the group phase. Top 3 teams from each group will proceed to Super6, and top 4 from this grouping will qualify for the 2023–2026 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League. Out of the 12 teams in this competition, two will qualify for the Qualifier Play-off. The system is a bit complicated and stretches for many years.

The Netherlands couldn't score enough runs to win showing they need to improve their batting for future matches. They must work on their weaknesses to win games in the World Cup league. Jan Frylinck played really well showing how one player can make a big difference in a match. We know Namibia is coming up with good performance first they beat Nepal and now Netherlands. Congratulations to Namibia.

Robert O'Donnell played an innings of 74 not out for the Auckland team. Canterbury chasing a target of 265, team score 141/3, 29.2 overs. Canterbury need 124 runs from 124 balls. Tom Latham on 58 and Cole McConchie on 23 not out batting on the pitch. Play is suspended for rain. Hopefully Canterbury will win the match easily when play resumes after the rain.

Canterbury vs Auckland

Canterbury won the toss and decided to bowl first that was not a good decision to score a big total for Auckland. Auckland scored 264 runs in a loss of 5 wickets in the first inning of the match It is a good total and have more chances of winning the match. From Auckland, Donnell played an impactful inning of 74 from 80 balls but unfortunately missed his well-deserved century by a few runs short. Canterbury's bowling performance is very disappointing Foulke only bowler who picked 2 wickets by giving 55 runs. While chasing down the target Canterbury scored only 141 runs in loss of 3 wickets and rain stopped the match. Canterbury is batting well and Tom Latham batting well scored 58 runs from 77 balls but after rain stopped the match.

I also think Canterbury made a mistake by choosing to bowl first in this match. Auckland scored a lot of runs 264 in total. Donnell from Auckland played really well and helped his team get a good score. Canterbury didn't bowl very well. Canterbury started their turn to bat okay but only managed to score 141 runs before it started raining. Tom Latham did well with the bat but Canterbury didn't play well enough to win. Canterbury needs to focus on mistakes and should try to correct them.

Canterbury team has won the match with the help of Match DSL.  Had it not rained, they would still have won the match.  This is because their batsmen scored 208 runs in 37 overs.  And if you break the speed, you will win the match.  But they have performed well.  And fate has also supported them.  Their batsman has played the match with effort and struggle and interest.  Their bowler did not put up any special effort.  If they did they would have stopped the target by 230.  My congratulations to the Canterbury team for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.The Auckland bowlers could have won the match if they had worked harder and struggled to outplay them.  Their bowler did not show much interest and would lose the match

The Canterbury batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing two wickets at the beginning of the target of 268 runs given by Auckland. Cole McConchie and Tom Latham these two players batted well and the Canterbury team won because of the two excellent batting. Cole McConchie batted well and scored 69 runs from 55 balls. Tom Latham batted brilliantly and got out with 64 runs off 82 balls. Canterbury won by 5 wickets due to rain during the 37 overs. Congratulation for Canterbury win.

Extremely important match between Nepal and Netherlands has started at the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur. This is the last match of the first series in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Both the teams are essentially fighting for the second position, as Namibia made it to the top after winning 3 out of 4 matches. There are a total of 24 series, and the next one involves United Arab Emirates, Canada and Scotland (to start by end of this month). Each team need to participate in 12 series.

Right the important match between Nepal and Netherlands has been started. The Netherlands won the toss and decided to bowl first in this match. The Nepal team didn't bat well their current score is 95 runs in a loss of 6 wickets in 30 overs. Kushal Bhurtel is the only Nepal batter who played well and scored 48 runs not out, very close to half-century. Nepal will give a target of 180 runs will be the good target on this pitch otherwise Netherlands will win this match easily a target of less than 150. The bowling performance of the Netherlands team is outstanding, especially Vivian Kingma who picked 2 important wickets by giving only 23 runs. Aryan Dutt also picked 2 crucial wickets for his team and the restricted Nepal team didn't score a big total.

I also think games like the one between Nepal and Netherlands in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 are really important for helping cricket grow in new countries. These matches give teams a chance to show off their skills to the world and also help make cricket more popular in places where it's not as wellknown as in other countries.
As the tournament goes on and more games are played it will be cool to see how these teams do and how they handle the challenges. Teams like United Arab Emirates Canada and Scotland joining the next games will make the tournament more diverse and competitive.
