Three One-day games between Pakistan Women and Zimbabwe Women. All are set to play at Karachi, at the same time Karachi pitch is good when it comes to long day games and it also provide an essential platform for the batsmen to build the innings but only if batsmen knows, this pitch is highly dependent on the weather condition and at the same time since it is ODI so batsmen have to dot early some balls and prefer to running between the wickets and when the pitch gets smooth so they should try big shots.

The ODI game Pakistan Women and Zimbabwe Women was ends with the victory of Pakistan Women. Pakistan Women opens inning first and the opening pair of Sadaf Shamas and Gul Feroza was so brilliant and gives the strongest start to the team Sadaf played a remarkable knock but unfortunately lost his century by just two runs and Feroza put decent half century and in middle order Najiha Alvi played a very aggressive knock and Pakistan Women ends the innings with the strong target of three thirty one runs. Zimbabwe openers looks unconfident but Kelis puts a decent start to the team and in middle order Beloved Biza played a very impactful knock and put a great half century but after that Zimbabwe batting lineup collapse and lost all wickets early on one sixty three runs and Pakistan easily defeated Zimbabwe with high run rate.

Nepal vs Oman

In the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, Nepal was able to beat Oman by very convincing 81 run margin as Nepal was able to successfully defend total of 256. Though the top order of Nepal faltered early on, middle order batters of Nepal effectively worked together to achieve competitive score, the bowlers of Nepal completely shut gateway leading to chase by Oman as they bowled the opposition out completely in only 175. Remarkable mental tenacity and capacity to adapt, as field grew increasingly sluggish, and which preferred predictable teamwork to uncertain individual play was, I think, most significant strength that Nepal possessed in this game. So, Oman did not fare any better since they lacked back plan once their key attackers had died but Nepal did not lose their discipline and calm till end.

Oman openers have the best opportunity to chase this target because its not a huge task and in this way Hasnain was amazing and played a well and required knock for the team but the other batters don't exicute the team planes properly and lost early on wickets and only Vinayak Shukla trying to stable the innings and played a well knock but Oman don't chase the target

UAE team set challenging target in terms of overs. Harpreet Singh scored 77 and the other two players also scored the same amount, which increased their target very well. Their opponent team performed very poorly against them because they lost the match by a very high number of runs. Jiten Ramanandi also scored 91 runs not out from their team. He scored more than his opponent team, but no one else worked hard and tried to support his team by bonding with his players, which led to this match. The UAE team won this match by 54 runs. The UAE team also showed its good performance in bowling. Their bowler stopped the score of his opponent team with his good bowling and gave them a lot of runs.  Runs from the match did not let them win.

Sadaf Shams was key player who is looking in good form and will try to become leading scorer in this match. But she is unlucky and she was very close to the century but she could not complete her century. Zimbabwe W Cricket team is very low quality team and that is a reason they could not successful to win this match and they lose this match by a big margin. Precious Marange was a player who took 3 wickets in this match but her team performance was very bad and that was a big reason they lose this match at the end. Syeda Aroob  dis excellent bowling in this match and took 2 wickets in this match and she played when it was requirement of the team. Beloved Biza tried to play for the team but she could not give her full effort because team required two centuries in this match.

Did anyone watched the match between Nepal and Oman in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2? Nepal got an important win, but now it may be too late for them. Nepal batted first and made 256. Aasif Sheikh made 94, while Aarif Sheikh made 43 in just 24 balls. Then it was the turn of Gulsan Jha, who wrecked the Omani batting lineup with an exceptional spell of 9-0-38-5. Nepal is still at the 7th position, with a total of 18 points from 24 matches. They have 12 more matches remaining, and they need to overtake both Namibia and Canada to get promoted to 5th position. But it is almost impossible for them to improve their position beyond that.

Nepal team surprised everyone with its performance because a strong team like Oman was unable to overcome Nepal target and Oman could not come close to the target.Nepal won the match and won by a huge margin of 81 runs.Asif Sheikh played a very important role in the batting line up from Nepal and gave the team a strong target.Also the batsmen worked hard and all deserve praise.On the other hand, every batsman from Oman wasted balls and could not face the Nepal bowlers. If Nepal continues to win continuously it will strengthen itself on the points table for which Nepal needs more hard work and struggle than before.If Nepal can defeat a strong team like Oman it can also leave Canada and Namibia behind.

The way Oman has improved its position with its efforts and strength, now it is losing the match in the same way and Nepal is also succeeding by playing with all its hard work. In this match, the Nepal team has victory by a fairly large margin and in the same way, they should succeed by bringing changes within themselves so that they can succeed with their same efforts in the future. If we look at the Nepal batsmen, they did not give such a strong target according to 50 overs, but still they kept their bowling strong with 256 runs and kept playing with their hard work and in the end their victory was clear to everyone. Oman has played well in all the matches in the beginning, so they are still the same, but now failing in this way is not good for their strength, so Oman should victory in the next matches.

This match is the 102 match of the series. The previous 101 match were between the USA and Oman.In this match, the Oman team faced failure. So in this match they also faced failure. When the Nepal team started the match, they played almost all the overs in which they set a target of 256 run. Aasif Sheikh scored 94 runs in this match and the rest of the player achieved this target together and this target was enough for their victory. If the PTS of the Oman team is seen it is enough for the Nepal team.But in this match the nepal team has won by 81 run which means that the other team has scored only 175 run in 39 over  and in this too 16 run are extra. Vinayak Shukla has scored the most run in his team, which is 36 run. If his team is also together like the first team if they had played well,this target would not have been a problem for their team either. Any team can easily achieve such a target, but if the players lack passion, then defeat becomes their destiny.

If you look at the points table, you can see that Oman is in a rather comfortable position. Nepal had their chances, but they lost matches at crucial times. Now they have only 18 points from 24 matches. On the other hand, Oman has 31 points from 28 matches. Nepal and Oman has 12 and 8 matches remaining, respectively and given the current trends, Nepal will fail to finish in the top-4. And that means that they will not get a direct entry into the 2027 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. First they need to participate in the 2027 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off, in order to qualify for the qualifier tournament.

Ambati Rayudu, the former Hyderabad captain and India player, has been appointed head of cricket operations at Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA). His three-year term starts immediately.

"It is a great opportunity to clean up a few things," Rayudu wrote on X, "but I am more excited to see the immense cricketing talent in Hyderabad and Telangana flourish and produce more players to represent the country."Rayudu's new role will close a chapter that took centrestage in 2019 when he alleged "rampant corruption" at the HCA. At the time, Rayudu had said decisions at the HCA politicised team selections.After that incident, Rayudu left Hyderabad in the 2019-20 season and finished his domestic career with stints at Andhra and Baroda.

If you look at the points table, you can see that Oman is in a rather comfortable position. Nepal had their chances, but they lost matches at crucial times. Now they have only 18 points from 24 matches. On the other hand, Oman has 31 points from 28 matches. Nepal and Oman has 12 and 8 matches remaining, respectively and given the current trends, Nepal will fail to finish in the top-4. And that means that they will not get a direct entry into the 2027 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. First they need to participate in the 2027 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off, in order to qualify for the qualifier tournament.

Distance between Oman and Nepal has become quite obvious now, and it can be mainly attributed to way Oman copes with pressure. Although Nepal has more number of games in hand, their biggest problem is their away record. Total of 12 games is much of cricket but when they do not cure their weakness in top order batting, they will not even reach 18 point mark in those games.

Personally I believe that Oman is already safe since they know how to collect some points on lower end teams. In Nepal case, even Play-offs may prove to be wake up call, but it could be risky road. Unless  top-4, the Play-offs will put pressure on such young team. Apparently, it looks as though they are just about to close off the direct entry door.

PAK-W vs ZIM-W, 2 nd ODI

Another easy and one side game was played today between Pakistan-W and Zimbabwe-W team. Pakistan-W had performed very well in 1 st game and beated Zimbabwe-W easily.

In 2 nd game, Pakistan-W team won toss and they selected batting line first and gave bowling chance to Zimbabwe-W team. Pakistan-W team set big target again 343 runs in 50 overs by losing 4 wickets.

Zimbabwe openers looks unconfident but Kelis puts a decent start to the team and in middle order Beloved Biza played a very impactful knock and put a great half century but after that Zimbabwe batting lineup collapse and lost all wickets early on one sixty three runs and Pakistan easily defeated Zimbabwe with high run rate.

It is a one sided series and the odds were really low in booking sites to wage a bet, Pakistan Women are taking full advantage of the situation scoring huge runs and troubling the Zimbabwe batters and they won the ODI series comfortably and with one more match left, expecting Pakistan giving opportunity for some new players.

Expecting the T20 series to be interesting than the ODI, but expecting another white wash from Pakistan as Zimbabwe Women is a fairly new team and this is their first ever tour to Pakistan and as per their schedule they will be visiting India later this year.

This match was played between Oman and Nepal, which consisted of 50 overs. These two teams scored a little in terms of overs, but still it was enough for one team to win. From the Nepal team, Aasif Sheikh scored 97. He scored very well but could not complete his century by just a few runs. Along with this, many players scored very well and increased their target. They scored very little but it was enough for their victory. If we look at their bowling, among their bowlers, Dipendra Singh Airee allowed his opponent to score only 18 runs. With his good bowling, if we look at their opponent, they could only score 175 out of the target, which was helped by Vinayak Shukla and Hammad Mirza who scored 36 and 34 runs. Many players also scored very well, but Nepal showed their good performance in this match.

It is unfortunate for Oma that they are playing with such poor performance. As far as I know their strength, their performance and struggle should have been better and they should have won every game, but they are playing very cheaply. They lost in this game too and they lost against Nep too, this is not making any difference in Oma position. Nep also got a better chance to give them a bad defeat and they also did not leave any overs and won by giving a better target of 256. In this game too, Oma players did not play well. They are not playing to their potential because such a strong team does not get weak and spoiled like this. The people of Oma will be very angry with them because they have lost 3-4 games in the same direction, which weakens their performance even more.

Nepal winning back to back matches in world cup league 2 and wonderful batting performance in this match winning it by huge runs against Oman. Aasif Sheikh play a responsible knock of 94 runs from just 97 balls, unfortunately missed a well deserved century by just 6 runs short but his efforts reached Nepal team total to 250 plus runs. In chasing that huge 250 plus total Oman team only managed to score 175 runs all team bowled out and lost the match by huge margin of 81 runs. After loosing the match badly Omen is still in third position on point table of world cup league 2 with 31 points while Nepal is on seventh position on point table with 18 points

The way Oman has improved its position with its efforts and strength, now it is losing the match in the same way and Nepal is also succeeding by playing with all its hard work.

Oman has played well in all the matches in the beginning, so they are still the same, but now failing in this way is not good for their strength, so Oman should victory in the next matches.

By playing first Nepal team made 256 runs and lost all wickets in 50 overs. In starting Aasif played very well inning. As a opener he proved his responsibility and scored well runs. He scored 94 runs in 97 balls. But some players lost their wickets very early and they couldn't succeed to make well runs. Also Aarif sheikh played outstanding batting, he scored 43 runs in 24 balls. So they could score 256 runs. Although it was not good total in ODI match but they fought well against these runs in bowling line. On the other hand Oman team bowled well and they dismissed all team at lowest total but they could not won the match because they showed very poor performance in batting. Just 3 or 4 players played little well but their runs could not prove beneficial for team and they could score 175 runs and all team dismissed. But congratulations to the winning team who fought brilliantly and won the match.

As far as I know their strength, their performance and struggle should have been better and they should have won every game, but they are playing very cheaply. They lost in this game too and they lost against Nep too, this is not making any difference in Oma position.

Oman is a strong team and they were playing good cricket for the past few years and the performance helped them in securing a position in the T20 world cup, but you need to remember that Nepal is also producing some outstanding performance, they too played the world cup and defeated Scotland and they defeated UAE last week, so it is not a fluke performance.
