ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2

Namibia Vs Oman

So today  is the 14th match of the league. And in this match Namibia will face Oman. And in my point of view Namibia has the chances of winning. Because they are looking strong team as compare to Oman. But here we can't underestimate the Oman team too. Because they also have ability to beat Namibia. So this is really hard to predict that which team will win. Let's see which team will perform well and win the match from opposite team.

The 14th match of ICC World Cup League 2 between Namibia and Oman has already started.Between these two teams, Oman team has decided to bat first today. Oman team scored 160 runs for four wickets in 37.4 overs, their runs were not much. Only Zeeshan Maqsood has done a remarkable performance for the team. He has scored the highest 51 runs for his team and no other batsman has scored fifty runs so far. Namibia have been a strong side in the tournament so far, winning three out of four matches.As a result they are number two in the points table while Oman faced only one opponent which was abandoned.

Today they face a stronger Namibia than them so far they haven't scored many runs which is evident from their score card. They still have time to score more runs as still have twelve overs to go maybe they will try to put up a respectable score today.

Today they face a stronger Namibia than them so far they haven't scored many runs which is evident from their score card. They still have time to score more runs as still have twelve overs to go maybe they will try to put up a respectable score today.

The innings has finished and here we are seeing Oman team with the good target for Namibia. In the toss, Namibia won the toss and chose to field first.
Oman team was batting first and they made 233 at the loss of 8 wickets. At the start, they had lost their back to back two early wickets but later they stable the game and after those two wickets their next players played amazingly in which Khalid Kail, Zeeshan Maqsood and Aqib Ilyas played a major part. Aqib Ilyas has not made too much score but he save one end and make easier the game for his players because he is the captain of the Oman

Namibia is about to lose a match which they would have won otherwise. They were able to restrict Oman to 233/8, but then their openers started playing in test mode when they came out to bat. Michael van Lingen got out after making 30 from 41 balls, but the other opener Lo-handre Louwrens is still there with 20 from 50 balls (at a strike rate of 40). Omani opening bowlers are having economies of less than 3 runs per over at this point (Kaleemullah and Fayyaz Butt). If the Namibian batsmen can't step up, then the required run rate will climb out of their control very soon.

You may be right in your judgement but when they have wickets in hand then they can change gear in the depth overs.
The Namibia team is playing as per the plan (not losing wickets) but still they have to increase their run rate otherwise it would not be great.

I know if they will play like this in the middle overs there will be no damage this time but later it will be hard for them to come back in the game if they lose wickets. They have to try to be hit more than five runs in every single over as well while overall they are good according to the target and if we will see onto the wickets losing side then that is great for Namibia as they lost just one wicket in the 120 balls (20 overs).

[Nanga Parbat]

I will consider Oman team as favorites in today's match. I can no longer consider the Oman team as weak at the moment. In the last T20 World Cup, Oman players performed much better than I expected.

Omani players are hardworking. They have several talented batsmen in their squad. But Oman's main weakness is their bowling order. The performance of Oman's bowlers is very poor. And if Oman's bowlers fail to perform well against Namibia today, Oman is likely to lose. If Oman wants to win the match then Oman bowlers must perform well.

The World Cup League 2 match between Oman and Namibia is in progress at the moment and Oman isn't been performing well at Dundee. 40/2 is 12 overs is a pretty slow run rate and Namibia should easily won this from here if they can keep the pressure and take wickets from time to time. Do not let the Oman batsmen settle and make partnership.

Keep this slow batting by Oman and early two wickets loss, i decided to placed the bet on Namibia during the match.



It is obvious to get a bit low odds for the team that is in a winning position. Oman may be a good team but i think Namibia have more chances today.

Both teams are in equal position.  Oman cricket team gave a target of 234 runs and  after that  Namibia team played very well and set batter are present on the crease. Namibia team should win this match easily but anything can happen because match is very big. Maqsood and Kail played very well in this match and they made half centuries for the team .But I think they built 20 runs less , otherwise total could be good. But now Namibia team is looking in good position.Erasmus and Frylinck are present on the crease. Frylinck is playing at 43 runs in 58 balls and Erasmus is performing at 35 in 39 balls.Now the score of Namibia team is 142 with fall of 2 wickets and  in 34 overs and 16 overs are remaining. Namibia team need 92 runs in 96 balls.

[Sithara007]

Namibia just lost another wicket and the scoring rate has gone down even further. Now the required rate has gone past 6.5 per over. This looks like similar story with what happened to Namibia several times in the past. Jan Frylinck and JJ Smit are at the crease now, and they need another 87 runs to win from 78 balls. It is achievable, if Namibian batsmen don't create a lot many dot balls. But given their past history, I am not very sure about this. Malan Kruger and JP Kotze are to come next, and both of them are not known for big hits. That means that the ones at crease right now need to stay there for some time.

So this is really hard to predict that which team will win. Let's see which team will perform well and win the match from opposite team.

Well finally Oman lose his match against namabian team despite scoring a decent Target at first innings, to be honest they were not looking in thier true colours because in his previous matches they scored a very low target and it's was easy chased for Scotland but surprisingly rain intrupt and out of no where oman got safed from brutal defeat and match got abundant but tonight things goes against Thier plan and we can say it's just because of thier weak bowling lineup or lack of experience because from top to bottom most of Namabian scored huge especially thier middle and lower middle order  partnership where the results were divert in thier favour and Thier bowler can't even put them in trouble at last stage and thus they won the match with huge number of wickets in hand and with more then two over left before last ball

Well finally Oman lose his match against namabian team despite scoring a decent Target at first innings, to be honest they were not looking in thier true colours because in his previous matches they scored a very low target and it's was easy chased for Scotland but surprisingly rain intrupt and out of no where oman got safed from brutal defeat and match got abundant but tonight things goes against Thier plan and we can say it's just because of thier weak bowling lineup or lack of experience because from top to bottom most of Namabian scored huge especially thier middle and lower middle order  partnership where the results were divert in thier favour and Thier bowler can't even put them in trouble at last stage and thus they won the match with huge number of wickets in hand and with more then two over left before last ball

The match between Namibia and Oman was very exciting. In this match first turn was played by Oman and Oman made 233 runs in 50 overs means they gave a target of 234 runs to the Namibia team. Here Khalid Kail and Zeeshan Maqsood  was little good in batting and both made 51,51 runs. And if we took a look on the Namibia team bowling so we will see the one mae Ben Shikongo he collected 4 wickets.
And Namibia chased that target in almost 48 overs. And they lost 4 wickets. If we took a look on batting line of the Namibia team so  I appreciate the batting of Jan Frylinck. He is the player of the match too. Because he has two catches too. Congratulations to Namibia team.

If we talk about Oman's performance, it is very bad.  Because their match was against Scotland, they lost in it.  And I expected Oman to lose in this match too.  And my prediction came true.  And their batsmen gave a target of 233 runs in 50 overs.  That was very easy.  If their bowlers had performed well in the match, the match could have become difficult.  But already told you about Oman's performance.  And his opposite team is Namibia which is a very good performing team.  Their batsmen achieved the target of 234 in 48 overs and won the match.  Congratulations to him for this win.  Oman was said to have performed well earlier but their team did not work hard and struggled and are losing matches continuously.  The Namibian team is a very good team.Their bowler also performed well and their batsmen also kept up their pace and achieved the target and won the match.

Finally, Namibia did win this match as at one time i though i will lose another bet. Oman did play well and recovered to make 233 runs. These runs were always going to tough defending unless the Oman bowlers could have produced a miracle.

Jan Frylinck played very well and made 73. I would not take the reward from Gerhard Erasmus and JJ Smit who scored not out 40 to finish the match in Namibia favor. I guess every batsman played their part in this chase. I wasn't expecting such a fight from Oman but they really fought hard however they could not win the match.

Yesterday this game was concluded between Oman team vs Namibia team and this was 14 th game of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 series. Namibia team won the toss and they got a chance to take first bat or bowl and Namibia team gave a bat chance to Oman team. This game was very tough between these two games and both team performed very well and result was also very clase. But Namibia team was lucky this time and Oman team set 233 runs target in 50 overs by losing 8 wickets. But their bowlers failed to stop the batsman of Namibia team to chase their target and lost the game. Namibia team chased down all target in 47.5 overs by losing 4 wickets. Jan great Batsman of Namibia team played brilliantly and he scored 73 runs in 81 balls and he hitted eight 4s. Smit also made 44 runs in 37 balls and he hitted four 4s and two 6s. Congratulations Namibia team to win this game and good luck for next game.

I guess every batsman played their part in this chase. I wasn't expecting such a fight from Oman but they really fought hard however they could not win the match.

Oman cricket team gave handsome target but I am very disappointed by performance of Namibia International cricket team because they could not defend 233 runs in ODI format.  Frylinck played excellent inning and he is at top in this match because he built JJ Smit also preformed admirably remained not out at the end of match. We saw team work between the players of Namibia team because for winning the match ,team work is important and Namibia team gave excellent performance.Shikongo is the only bowler from Namibia team who preformed admirably and gained 4 wickets . Oman team two players made half centuries for the tean but we didn't see team work because mostly players were looking to play independent cricket.

Congratulations Namibia team to win this game and good luck for next game.

Well Namibia did win their match with Oman but will they be able to beat Scotland today ? This match of Namibia with scotland is in progress and
this time, the Namibia have to play fast then they could win this match against Scotland. They have to play with the 6 run rate or even more then it will be easy for them otherwise if they will play with 5 (which is their current run rate) or less, then it would not be great and at the end they have to play fast.

So I am saying if they will play average from here then there would be no pressure on their head to make runs fast after 15 over. Let’s see, by the way, I think Namibia can win this too but this time, both teams are strong and are playing equally better as well.

Well Namabian team has played really well especially in thier last match against Oman where they got victorious but I think the way Scotland played in world cup Carrey on same momentum, performance and intend in that match and scored phenomena in thier innings of bat first and as usual thier talented opener G. Munsey almost scored thier century while later their captain build w strong partnership with him and thus scored 290 which was looking as easy target but some how Scotland bowlers and rain intrupt push them in favour of victory. But to be honest this DLS method wasn't looking fair because they reduced 6 overs and just 8 runs like seriously and I think that things confirm namabia team defeat, I think they should reduce 30 around runs for 6 overs reduction..

We have ups and downs in this game with first Scotland were dominated and having good target 290 which was not easy for the Namibia things were well-balanced but Scotland bowlers done good job and at the end they were able to secure their win in this game now Scotland is having 5 points from 5 games, and they are having 3rd spot in league table which is leading by Canada which is having 4 wins out of 4 games.

Rain is doing his tricks, but still good thing happen we have result of this game with two points for Scotland which were deserved for this win we have four fifties in this game George Munsey who hammered 91 runs from 62 balls were hero for Scotland because due to his aggressive approach Scotland have good target which was not chased by Namibia, and they faced second defeat from their six games but still holding the second spot in league table which is good for them.

Scotland team gave handsome target and they defended very well and at the end according to DLS method  Scotland team won the match by 47 runs.  Munsey played excellent inning for the team due to which they became successful to stand good total on board. He built 91 runs and he contributed well and after that one player also played well and built 79 important runs in 81 balls and these two players are the reason of Scotland win. Scotland bowlers also played well and took 9 wickets and Leask was top bowler of this match because he gained 4 wickets  in 9 overs and Watt also gained 2 wickets.Some of that Namibia team players played well in last match but they could not win this match due to lack of making strategy.

Namibia Vs Oman

So today  is the 14th match of the league. And in this match Namibia will face Oman. And in my point of view Namibia has the chances of winning. Because they are looking strong team as compare to Oman. But here we can't underestimate the Oman team too.

Namibia won the match by 6 wickets against oman. Many were expecting Oman to won the match as many talented players in their squad who showed good performance in T20 World Cup. But Namibia archived the victory against oman team. Namibia won the toss and opted to fielding. So Oman went to bat first but their starting was disappointing enough as their top batsman Kashyap & Pratik got out with lower runs. Although Khalid Kail and Zeeshan Maqsood both did half century and scored 51 runs. And oman total Score was 233-8 runs which was a fair score for ODI match where Ben Shikongo got 4 wickets alone. Afterwards Namibia started batting and they able to surpassed Targeted runs which was set by oman. They scored 234-4 runs where Jan Frylinck(73) and JJ Smit(44) performed good enough behalf of the team. And won the match finally

Indian pacer Mohammed Shami has come up with some controversial comments regarding his exclusion from some of the matches in 2019 ODI World Cup. He was dropped despite picking up 13 wickets from 3 matches. Shami was quite hostile against both Virat Kohli and the coach Ravi Shastri. I won't be very surprised. The combination of Kohli and Shastri did pushed out a number of good players from the Indian team and replaced them with substandard players who would act as their yes men.
