Canada Vs United Arab Emirates

ICC CWC League 2, Canada vs UAE ODI match is live at Dubai International Stadium today. UAE team won the toss and they decided to bowl first. Meanwhile Canada Almost done their batting but only 2 bowls left from 50 overs and delay occured due to rainy weather. Well Canada have made estimate 241 runs already which is good runs to win the match if they could bowl well. Their top order batsman made some low runs and 4 wickets gone at 88 runs. After that, Harsh Thaker opt to bat and have made his legendary century, 111 runs from 113 and not out. Many players gone but Harsh Thaker is still on the field. Now waiting for UAE to start batting which is still depends on weather

Well.. this is turning out to be a very exciting match. United Arab Emirates needs another 55 runs to win against Canada, and the required run rate is well under 9 per over. And more importantly, they have 6 wickets in hand, with Rahul Chopra and Basil Hameed at the crease. At this point, I would say that the advantage is with the UAE. Canada surprised everyone by winning the first two matches in this series, but I am afraid that they are going to taste defeat today. Dillon Heyliger has 3 overs remaining. Let's see what he can do.

Canada won the match against UAE by 8 runs using DLS method.  With this success, I fully hoped that UAE would have won the match if it was not for the DLS method.  Canadian players gave excellent performances and helped their team win especially H Thaker , H thaker very well contribute to win this match he completed his century and made 111 runs in 113 balls .  Is a sad time of defeat for the UAE, because if it was not for the DLS method, they would have had a different scenario because Because there were four overs to go and UAE needed just eight runs to win the match.

Harsh Thaker was the one who made it possible for Canada to give a target of 241 runs, no other Canadian batsmen was able to make it to 30s. Apart from scoring century in batting, Harsh Thaker was also able to pick important wicket of Chundangapoyil Rizwan and was given man of the match award because of his all round performance. UAE team was good in run chase but once top 3 batters got out rest of the batting failed to face the Canadian batting.

Canada surprised everyone by winning the first two matches in this series, but I am afraid that they are going to taste defeat today. Dillon Heyliger has 3 overs remaining. Let's see what he can do.

Well, it a match between two teams where in the national squad most of the players are not native

Anyway, UAE had a good chance. But they were unable to win. the strike rate of the players of UAE were really bad.
CP Rizwan was probably another reason why UAE actually lost. Well, everyone had a bad strike rate but the one that was done by him outshines others.
After the fourth wicket had fallen for the UAE, they lost wickets at regular intervals, which was the biggest problem

The unfortunate loosing streak of UAE continues as it loses by a small margin in slightly reduced gameplay. Canada nearly struggled batting first. A century from Harsh Thaker made them a good score of 241. UAE continued a good chase but were not able to get to the reduced target of 237 in 46th over.  They started better but their mid and low level batsmen couldn't score at a faster pace. The result means UAE would remain on the bottom of the league 2 table for some time now. They have one more game to be played with scotland and even though they win, they'll don't have a better run rate than Nepal.

A loss by 8 runs was definitely very close. And it also must have been pretty heartbreaking. I honestly believe that the UAE had a real chance to win this match. But credit to Canada for being able to pick up wickets regularly. Also, credit to them for drying up the runs. These two are the only reasons why they were able to win this match.

UAE team was good in run chase but once top 3 batters got out rest of the batting failed to face the Canadian batting. 

Yes you are right Harsh Thaker did really well in the match and helped Canada win. He scored a century and took important wickets showing he is good at both batting and bowling. Without his help Canada might not have won the match. The UAE team tried hard to chase the runs but couldn't because of Thaker and the Canadian bowlers. Thaker deserved the man of the match award.

Afghanistan vs Ireland

The first ODI match of the ODI series between Afghanistan and Ireland will be played at Sarjah Stadium today.We had earlier seen the Afghanistan team lose the Test series by losing to Ireland by 6 wickets in just one Test. But we are optimistic that Afghanistan team will play better in ODI matches and they will be able to win. Afghanistan team is a strong team in ODI format and T20 format whereas we have not seen Ireland team win any significant number of matches in ODI format. Now it is to be seen how intense the fight is in the first one-day match between the two teams.

Afghanistan has not been the same team after thier defeat against Australia in the world cup. They haven't been able to recreate the same level of performance that they had in the ICC tournament. I don't think after getting defeated from a weaker team like Ireland they will win today. Ireland doesn't have anything to lose if the don't win today. Whereas Afghanistan morale will go further down if they don't win.

It is a 3-match ODI series and at least on paper Afghanistan is the stronger side. They are in poor form recently, but then Ireland is in far worse state. And then Afghanistan have the home advantage (the matches are being held at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium though, since Ireland would not travel to Afghanistan). The advantage with Ireland is that their morale would be high after the test win, and also all of their star players are available, including - Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker.

Yes that's right Afghanistan team could not maintain the consistency of their good performance in the World Cup due to which they lost the close T20 series,ODI series and Test series against Sri Lanka. Afghanistan team recently lost the Test series after losing the only Test match against Ireland.In fact, many of the talented players we saw in the Afghanistan team at the World Cup are not in the current Afghanistan squad.Among them is Rashid Khan Mujibur Rahman. If they were present in the Afghanistan squad, Afghanistan would have been much stronger and even they would have been able to win against Ireland.

Afghanistan has had some tough times in recent matches and I think it's normal for teams to have good and bad days in cricket. Missing players like Rashid and Mujeeb Ur Rahman does affect how well the team plays but it also gives other players a chance to show what they can do. So today is the first ODI so let's see who will win. I really hope that Afghanistan will win this series. Because they have played the ICC World and thier performance was good in ICC and I hope they will do well.

Scotland Vs Canada
Today in Dubai, ICC Cricket World Cup League 11th match between Scotland and Canada is going on. Canada won the toss and decided to bowl. Scotland are now batting on the pitch and their team score is 84/2, 19 overs. Charlie Tear & George Munsey scored 61 runs in the opening partnership and George Munsey was dismissed with a personal 38 runs off Harsh Thacker. Charlie Tear could not stay on the pitch for long and Harsh Thacker returned him. Harsh Thacker bowled 5 overs and took two wickets with 17 runs so far. Canada is in great form they have played three matches so far and won all three. Canada's bowling line-up is strong, looking like they will be able to restrict Scotland to under 240 runs.

Although Scotland's batting line-up was good at the start, they did not perform well in the end. Scotland were eventually bowled out for 197 runs. No batsman of Scotland could play big innings, no batsman could score fifty runs. Canada's bowlers bowled very well today. A target of 198 runs in the ODI format is not enough to win. However, if Scotland's bowlers can keep Canada under pressure by bowling aggressively, they can win. But scoring 198 runs off 300 balls is very easy. Canada batsmen can win if they bat patiently. I think Canada will win easily today.

I think Canada will win easily today.

Is the target of 198 runs enough to win? A few days ago, Scotland set a target of 216 runs against Canada. Canada's players scored 220 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in just 40.3 overs. Canada won the match very easily. Every batsman in the top order batted very well. Pargat Singh was unbeaten on 87 runs.

Scotland's batsmen could not bat well in today's match. Opener George Munsey was able to collect the highest 36 runs for the team. Besides, no other batsman's performance was good. Canada's bowlers bowled very controlled. Harsh Thaker was able to pick up 3 wickets and Khalid 2 wickets.

A target of 198 runs is not a big target on this pitch. If Canada's batsmen can stay at the crease, they will win easily. But since Canada's squad has less experienced batsmen. So it may become difficult for them to collect 198 runs. Canada managed to collect 17 runs in 3 overs. But they lost the wicket of opener Srimantha.

Afghanistan Vs Ireland

The first ODI match between Afghanistan and Ireland team started today, Afghanistan team started batting performance in the beginning of this match today. Here I don't see much difference between Afghanistan and Ireland teams as both teams are set to perform well in ODI matches. But the team which can perform well keeping the wicket under control will win.

[Essential10]

The first ODI of the three-match series between Ireland and Afghanistan has already started at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Ireland won the toss and sent Afghanistan into bat. Afghanistan were whitewashed by Sri Lanka in their last ODI series. I can see some changes in the Afghanistan players in this Ireland series with Afghanistan, but I don't think there will be much effect due to the absence of players like Rashid, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi. I think Afghanistan is stronger team than Ireland in ODI format. Anyway, Afghanistan are 54 not out in 14 overs so far. Expect 280+ runs for Afghanistan and expect such a score to be a defensible score against Ireland.

In today match, Scotland batsman makes 6 run in 1 over and Canada no any wicket against Scotland batsman. This is the good started for Scotland batsman. Scotland batsman makes 56 run in 10 over and 0 outs. Scotland batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Canada bowler out the Scotland batsman in the third ball of the 13 over. This is the first achievement for Canada team. Once time again Canada bowler out the Scotland batsman in the second ball of the 15 over. This is the second achievement for Canada team. Scotland batsman makes 197 run in 47.3 over and 10 outs. This is the target for Canada batsman. This is the easy target. Now let's see Canada batsman can complete this target or not.

The first ODI of the three-match series between Ireland and Afghanistan has already started at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Ireland won the toss and sent Afghanistan into bat. Afghanistan were whitewashed by Sri Lanka in their last ODI series. I can see some changes in the Afghanistan players in this Ireland series with Afghanistan, but I don't think there will be much effect due to the absence of players like Rashid, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi. I think Afghanistan is stronger team than Ireland in ODI format. Anyway, Afghanistan are 54 not out in 14 overs so far. Expect 280+ runs for Afghanistan and expect such a score to be a defensible score against Ireland.

Yes, Afghanistan is a much stronger team than Ireland in ODI format. I think if Afghanistan give 250+ target the game will be very competitive. Mohammad Nabi and Fazalhaq Farooqi joined ODI XI, hope they perform well. However, Afghanistan's early run rate was low, but now the run rate has improved slightly. So far, Afghanistan have collected 173 runs for 1 wicket in 35 overs. Let's see how many runs Afghanistan can score in the end.

[jasonjm]

In the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, Canada beat Scotland by 5 wickets. Scotland gave a target of 198 runs in 50 overs to Canada. In response, Canda lost wickets early in the inning, but the 109-run partnership between Harsh Thaker and Nicholas Kirton took the game away from Scotland. Harsh Thaker scored a brilliant hundred and stayed at the crease till the very end.

In the match between Afghanistan and Ireland, AFG is batting sensibly thus far. They are in a very comfortable position in the match. AFG is 185/1 after 36 overs. The opening partnership of 150 runs between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and  Ibrahim Zadran set the foundation for a big target. Gurbaz scored a century and looked in good touch. If he stays at the crease for another 5 to 10 overs, the AFG might cross 320.

In Afghanistan vs Ireland 1st ODI match Afghanistan team came to bat and scored 213 for 3 in 39.3 overs.Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 121 off 117 balls.Ibrahim Zadran scored 60 off 93 balls.Azmatullah Omarzai scored 19 off 20 balls.  Out. If the Ireland team can do well in the bowling line, the batsmen of the Afghanistan team will be under pressure. However, it seems that the Afghanistan team can give a target of 270 runs in today's match.

So far, Afghanistan have collected 173 runs for 1 wicket in 35 overs. Let's see how many runs Afghanistan can score in the end.

There is no doubt that the Afghanistan team is stronger and more experienced than Ireland. But Afghanistan players are not in good form now. In the series against Sri Lanka, we saw poor performances from Afghanistan players. Afghanistan failed to win even the only Test match against Ireland. Afghanistan players are in very bad form now.

But today the two openers of Afghanistan have batted very well. Rahmanullah Gurbaz returned to the dressing room with 121 runs off 117 balls. Ibrahim Zadran scored 60 runs off 93 balls. At the end of 40 overs, Afghanistan collected 215 runs, losing 3 wickets. As the team has lost just three wickets, Afghanistan have a good chance of giving away a target of around 300. If Afghanistan give a target of more than 300 today, Ireland will not win.

In Afghanistan vs Ireland 1st ODI match Afghanistan team came to bat and scored 213 for 3 in 39.3 overs.Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 121 off 117 balls.Ibrahim Zadran scored 60 off 93 balls.Azmatullah Omarzai scored 19 off 20 balls.  Out. If the Ireland team can do well in the bowling line, the batsmen of the Afghanistan team will be under pressure. However, it seems that the Afghanistan team can give a target of 270 runs in today's match.

Gurbaz is proving a star for Afghanistan. This man won many matches for his team. He is most dangerous at the start. He hitting so powerful and if he stand in the crease the runs will flow. Afghanistan now in very good position. Ibrahim Zadran also make a brilliant fifty but he takes 93 balls. Strike rate is not good but he gives Gurbaz chance to play aggressive. Now middle orders Muhammad Nabi should make a good finish to gives target above 300. Afghanistan have high chances to win the match.
