Namibia vs Oman, in today's match, Namibia team is batting in the first innings, they have already lost 5 wickets. Michael van Lingen is in great batting form he scored 40 runs off 55 balls unfortunately he couldn't make his half century. Malan Kruger is in batting form at the moment, he is fighting hard for the team and is batting towards a good score. Malan Kruger scored a half-century of 51 off 77 balls, but he looks set to do better for the team. However, if the Oman team can bowl well in today's match, the Namibia team will not be able to score too many runs. At the moment, Namibia's collection of runs is 168 in 46 overs for the loss of 5 wickets, compared to today's match, it looks like they won't be able to put up a big score.

When I saw the match between Namibia and Oman I thought that Oman will lose this match again.  Because in this I felt that Oman would perform poorly. But their bowler has perform very well in this match. And was happy to see his bowling.  Their bowler took 9 wickets and achieved an easy target of 196 in the 50 over innings. And when I saw this goal I felt that Oman is improving itself.  And if they play with such efficiency they will win the match.  However Oman batsmen achieved this target in 49 overs.  The pace of their batsmen is still the same.  They should improve their speed.  I am very happy to see Oman win.  If they play against Scotland with such perform they will definitely win the match. Congratulations to them for this win.Oman team has performed very well in this match and won the match.

Oman won the match because Namibia has a reputation of being chokers. They need to understand that each and every match is important in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 2023/24-2027. ICC funding depends on how the associate nations perform in this tournament. A loss to a lower ranked team such as Oman is going to impact Namibia negatively in terms of fund inflows. Oman on the other hand has just one win from 4 matches, and they are just above Nepal and United Arab Emirates in the points table.

Namibia should have scored more runs. Would be better if they could have scored 50 more runs then Namibia could have won this match. The fall of some important wickets in their top order restricted them from scoring higher in the match. And this opportunity was accepted very well by the Oman team. They managed to get to the set position for just 6 wickets. And for this their bowlers must have a big contribution. Both Bilal Khan and Fayyaz Butt keep in good bowling performances to restrict the team to 196 runs. But I don't expect Oman to win against Scotland because Scotland is a good enough team. Oman team will not be able to keep up a big resistance against them.

[JahriMeayer]

Oman won by 4 wickets against Namibia team. In the match, Oman won the toss and they opted to Bowl first. Oman bolwers were seem skillful enough and they did good start up. that's why Namibian top order batsmen were seen struggling for making runs in the match. Their strike Run rate were so slow. Maybe it was their strategy to focus on saving wickets rather than making more runs in 1st 20-25 overs. Afterwards JJ Smit(41) and specially Malan Kruger(73) were able to collect good amount of runs. But later, rest of players got out with lowers runs and their final score was 196-9 which wasn't a fair score for winning the match in ODI format. Besides Oman started batting and it supposed to be, they were playing relaxly as same as Namibia did. Khalid Kail(43) and specially Aqib Ilyas(68) able to score good amount of runs. But this match was getting complex for oman due to the slow speed of run collection. But Shoaib Khan played good as finisher batsman and anyhow they manage to surpassed the Targeted runs and archived the victory

Tomorrow, Scotland is going to play against Namibia at Dundee. Scotland has only 3 wins from 6 matches, so they would be looking for a win. Namibia on the other hand, has been on a downhill journey. At the moment, Canada is on top with 8 points from 4 matches. Namibia and Scotland are at second and third place respectively. Irrespective of who wins the match tomorrow, the winning team will become the table toppers. And in case the match gets washed out (which happens so frequently in Scotland), Namibia will become the table toppers with 9 points from 8 matches.

Oman did face some problems because of the multiple run-outs. They also started pretty poorly as well. This was actually a good chance for Namibia to prove that they are not as bad as people think they are. But they did not capitalize on that chance. And if we talk about the batting of Namibia, I have to say towards the end it just looks like a really sorry-looking scorecard. They had a good plot set to make some fireworks towards the end. But they have failed to do that. They should have at least gone to 220 from where they were when the fifth wicket fell. And again in the second inning, it was also a good start from them in the bowling lineup but they have failed to keep the consistency.

Tomorrow, Scotland is going to play against Namibia at Dundee. Scotland has only 3 wins from 6 matches, so they would be looking for a win. Namibia on the other hand, has been on a downhill journey. At the moment, Canada is on top with 8 points from 4 matches. Namibia and Scotland are at second and third place respectively. Irrespective of who wins the match tomorrow, the winning team will become the table toppers. And in case the match gets washed out (which happens so frequently in Scotland), Namibia will become the table toppers with 9 points from 8 matches.

I think tomorrow Scotland will win the match from Namibia because if Oman can win a match from Namibia so Scotland already won from Oman so Scotland is looking more strong in this case. So I hope they will win tomorrow match. And you are right the team which will win the match will be on the top place of the table. And I am looking that Scotland will be on top. By the way this is too early to say because Cricket is unpredictable so Namibia can also win and we can't underestimate them too.

Scotland vs Namibia

Today is the 18th match of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 and this will be played between Scotland and Namibia. At this time Canada is leading and on the second and third place there is Namibia and Scotland. So if Scotland will win so Scotland will be on top and if Scotland win so they well lead.
And if we will see on 20 july match of this league so we can see how the Namibia team played in that match. Unfortunately they lost the match by DLS method. But they fought very well. So let see which will perform well?

Oman team managed to beat Namibia team. For this reason alone, it is not certain that Namibia will lose against Scotland. But I also personally consider the Scotland team as favourites. But I wouldn't say that Namibia has no chance of winning.

Namibia were defeated in the previous match against Scotland. Scotland have a strong batting order. However, the Namibian team is not too weak. I have seen Namibian players perform well in matches against Nepal and Netherlands. If Namibia's bowlers can perform well against Scotland then Namibia has a big chance to win. But if the Namibian bowlers do not perform well, Scotland will win this match. Because Scotland's batting order is stronger than Namibia's.

Yes this was not a easy win for Oman team and I already know that their past games lose and their effort was very poor and they already beated by Scotland and Namibia team. In this game, Oman won the game by 4 and 5 balls. Bowlers of Namibia team struggled very tough to protect their target and their batter did not play well and target was also very small according to 50 overs. But at end bowlers did not protect their target and lost the game. A.Ilyas got a medal of player of game because in batting, he scored 68 runs and played slowly but grab good runs. Khalid also played good and he made 43 runs in 55 balls and hitted four 4s and one 6s. In bowling side, Bilal also deserved the medal of player of game because he also took down main wickets of Namibia team who showed great effort in pitch and made good runs total he dismissed 3 wickets in 10 overs with 50 runs. Today Scotland vs Namibia will be play and I think Scotland will win this game easily because they already beat Namibia team in past games.

Today there is the 18th match of World Cricket League which will play in between Namibia Vs Scotland. If we will check the previous result when the both teams faced to each other then Namibia had a loss even Scotland won that match that was one sided. Yes on that match, there was rain when the Namibia was chasing but if it did not had rained then still there was no chance for the Namibia team to win that match that is why I think today’s match will won by the Scotland so far according to me. But we will get the all answers of every question in Stadium

Oman cricket team played very well and chased the target  in last over. I think target should be 220 + but Namibia International cricket team played very slow and gave low target. With this target,you could not win the  match in that time . Krugar played well from Namibia side and his inning is waste because no other player played good for team and all the players of Namibia team did not play with responsibility. Shoaib khan end the match very well when team needed his performance. He built 26 runs and team won due to great performance of Ilyas because he played brilliant inning for the team and without his inning team could not win this match.Comgrats to Oman team due to great performance.I think they will continue this performance and I am impressed by them.

The partnership between Michael English and Richie Berrington has taken Scotland past 100. Shaun Fouché got the wicket of Brandon McMullen, btu after that the Namibian bowlers were unable to get any wickets at all. Scotland badly needs this win, as they have only 7 points from 6 matches. They were very unfortunate to have the match against Oman washed out (they had bowled out Oman for 123, and were at 99/2 when the rain interruption happened). Namibia has brought spin from one end, with Bernard Scholtz trying his left arm orthodox.

Yeah, In the 18th ODi game Scotland played first and made 301/6 runs in 50 overs. Scotland's team's excellent batting batsman Michael English he scored a century with nine fours and two 6s while Richie Berrington made 89 runs unlucky to miss his century but help their team to posted a good target of 300 +. Shaun Fouche bowled an excellent took three wickets with economy rate of 6. Namibia team batting nicely scored 53 runs in first 16th over of the game. The Namibia team chasing the target lost three early wickets. Namibia needed 249 runs from the remaining 34 overs but I think it's very difficult for Namibia to win this game.

Wow, Incredible century by Michael English! With the score of Michael English and Barrington, Scotland was able to post a huge total of 301. And in reply Namibia has already lost four wickets while scoring only 87 runs. they have also taken 21.2 overs to score the 87 runs. I think it is pretty much certain that they are not going to win this match. When the start is so bad and you are chasing 302, it is very hard for any team to recover from this situation. I would have said there is a chance if it was a team like Australia or India. But it is Namibia we are talking about. So I think Scotland will be able to win pretty easily in the end.

But we will get the all answers of every question in Stadium 

According to the current performance of the Namibia team, we can judge that they could lose this match as they are doing batting on the 8th wicket. If two more wickets will fall then Scotland will win this match too.
Namibia batters are trying to play good and also try to hit long but they cannot do this because at this time their bowlers are doing batting. Namibia have to make 147 in 68 balls that they are not able to make.

I can say Congratulations to the Scotland team for the win of this game however i got my bet to be end in a lsoing mode 
I bet on Namibia because i got better odds, 2.65 but better luck next time to me.

Right buddy, batting partnership of these batters of Scotland sqaud made a big lead after failure of two earlier batters Brandon McMullen and Charlie Tear, these two batters were wiped out from crease and managed 15 and 16 scores respectively. But these two batters was hero in today match and their batting partnership was truly admirable and also a bit reason to emerge victory. Michael English his century was out Namibia bowlers in trouble. Other Richie Berrington better also batted very amazingly and his performance was significant role to secure victory. 301 score as a Defeating target was not easy job to complete and secure victory for such a weak sqaud like Namibia sqaud. Namibia squad just managed 163 scores and after this score, whole members of their sqaud was wiped out and lost match with massive scores of total 138 scores. In bowlers side, both these Gavin Main and Brad Currie also do amazing job with picking total 6 wickets with 3 and 3 respectively.

Excellent performance by Scotland. Especially Michael English and Richie Berrington. Their partnership was excellent. Michael English made 107 runs. And Richie Berrington made 89 runs. And both helped the team to win. And in total Scotland made 301 runs which was a good target and tough target for Namibia team.
Namibia was trying well to chase that target but they didn't. Because they lost their all wickets at 163 runs. And one more time Scotland show that they are good in bowling too. Gavin Main and Brad Currie both collected 3,3 wickets and Michael Leask and Brandon McMullen both collected 2,2 wickets.
So overall Scotland performance was excellent and I really appreciate them. Congratulations to Scotland.

Scotland is the strongest associate nation and ahead of other participants in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. The huge margin in yesterday's match is yet another testament to this. And you need to acknowledge the depth in their talent pool. Michael English made his debut yesterday and he started off with a century. He is originally from Paisley in Renfrewshire. And a few days back, Charlie Cassell made his debut for Scotland and returned record figures of 5.4-1-21-7.

Yeah, In the 18th ODi game Scotland played first and made 301/6 runs in 50 overs.

The Scotland team won the match against Namibia. The Namibia team won the toss and they decided to bowl first which was I don’t know what type of decision it is because according to the pitch, they did good but according to the game, it was not good.

I can say nothing about this decision whether it is good or bad because if we look at the pitch condition then it is good for bowling but not for Namibia team as they do not have quality bowlers. I think in this loss, we can clearly blame some batsmen of the Namibian team because if we see their bowling then it is average and I don't expect much from them even on good batting wickets.
