Target of 210 runs posted by New Zealand was not enough to stopped the England team. Although sticky start and early wickets loss indicating that might be England would lose the game. But Thanks to Bouchier and Kemp patnership, who played well and their innings helped to lift the target up. New Zealand women's bowlers put pressure on them by their strict bowling that's create tension in last few overs. Almost they got 9 wickets in their hand, like they almost done all task. But unfortunately, it was not their day.Charlie Dean played steadily as it was a moment of tension where she not only  focused to save the wickets but also focused right moment to hit the ball. Her wise approach ended the game in their favour. England women Clinched the victory of this difficult game by 1 wicket. That's truly a fascinating end.

Top order collapses in chase mostly define end of it but tail enders have stayed calm amidst New Zealand strict bowlers, which is testament to their mental strength. Many times these one wicket wins are better learning experiences than easy wins as they gauge strength of squad and their judgment in last few death overs. Charlie Dean play was in my view class in situational awareness. It is game where momentum was oscillating back and forth and her defensive skills and controlled hitting to edges made difference between loss and historic victory. Still New Zealand will be disappointed to lose despite nine wickets as they can take pride of their bowlers discipline. With advent of this match, it has been proven that white ball cricket is never over until last run is scored, no matter how many wickets go out.

England's men could become the biggest international team yet to tour Nepal, with the ECB exploring the prospect of scheduling a short T20I series at some stage in the 2027-31 international cycle.Nepalese cricket has grown at a rapid rate in recent years, and they won a series against a full ICC member for the first time last year when they beat West Indies in the UAE, but they are yet to host a Test-playing nation for a fully-fledged international tour.

That could change later this year, with Cricket Ireland announcing in March that they have signed a five-year 'strategic partnership agreement' with the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) and are planning a white-ball tour in the 2026-27 winter.The ECB have been working through the Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2027-31 with other international boards in recent months, though there are still several moving parts as they await confirmation from the ICC of the new World Test Championship (WTC) format, including whether the minimum of two matches in a series will be removed.

Although it was a expected result on this match, even then I would say that this is was also batting friendly and that is why we saw poor batting performance from the both.

But my expectation from the England women team was higher specially from their batting team although they win this match but it was very close match. In this match  at some point I thought that the New Zealand women team will going to be win what was the opposite of my expectation. But the captain Charlie Dean did her responsibility at the end, I mean she made a good finished for the England team.  After seeing such a close performance, it now seems that this series is going to be competitive, as I thought that the England team would play well in a one-sided manner, but it doesn't seem possible.

Zimbabwe Women Vs Pakistan Women

So they are playing the third ODI match in Karachi. And we know that how Pakistani team performed in last two matches. They took the first turn in last two matches and they easily go above 300 runs. And Zimbabwe lost that two matches. And now they are playing the third match and this time Zimbabwe is playing the first turn and they have lost 2 wickets at 75 runs. I think they will make almost 200 runs and Pakistan will easily chase that score.

By playing first Zimbabwe Women team scored 222 runa and lost 9 runs in 50 overs. It was very poor inning they played. They played too slow inning, I think they should scored 300 or 300 plus runs but they could not perform this job and gave a Lowest total. Just 2 or 3 players played well inning. Beloved Biza scored 73 runs in 88 balls. Also Kelis Ndhlovu scored well runs, remaining other players gave back to back wickets and made some runs. On the other hand Pakistan Women team showed outstanding inning, they bowled well firstly then they fought bravely with great performance. Gul feroza played magnificent inning, she scored 106 runs in 92 balls and she kept on crease till end. Also Sadaf played outstanding inning she scored 90 runs in 98 balls. So they bowled and batting outstanding and they chased this lowest total in 31.5 overs and won the match brilliantly.

England Women dominated in the first ODI game but it was a close game. I think in the further games we may see the same results because in the last matches, we can say head to head so New Zealand women also don't have good record but at the same time, let's see New Zealand women needs to work hard and they should not depend on their such crucial players must look to contribute in the team's total as well try to same strategy in the bowling too.

An interesting battle between ENGW vs NZW is taking shape in the opening ODI where NZW already has started batting and have built a solid platform by scoring more than two hundred runs yet, and ENGW keep creating more pressure on them. In the recent matches, ENGW secured four wins out of five matches, which proved their skills and sharp strategy. Although this time NZW team looks organized from the beginning especially Maddy Green has given stability to her team and controlled the middle overs so nicely. Otherwise rest of players failed to afford high score and lost wickets early. That's because ENGW is strong team who have skillful bowlers as well as batters, can change the game direction any time. Their batting isn't started yet but hope they'll play better today.

Target of 210 runs posted by New Zealand was not enough to stopped the England team. Although sticky start and early wickets loss indicating that might be England would lose the game.

Next battle in this competition will be seen after two days while first match among New Zealand women squad and England women squad was finished yesterday. Due to early loss of wickets by England women squad, it seemed they would struggle to chase scores but that did not happen. England women squad secured victory and won first match despite facing many difficulties. New Zealand women was begun match first with batting and batters were posted 210 low quality scores off 50 overs inning. These bowlers Charlie Dean, Tilly Corteen-Coleman and Lauren Bell played crucial played crucial role in getting victory and each of them picked up 2 wickets. These batters Freya Kemp and Maia Bouchier  played wonderful batting inning and both batters managed to collect 30 and 59 scores respectively. With 1 wickets and 10 deliveries, England women squad emerged first victorious.

Yes, but whatever it was both of them put in a good effort and hard work which made it a close match, otherwise England Women could have victory the match much earlier. The chances of New Zealand Women victory this series are slim, but still New Zealand Women will victory the second match to make the series interesting, but it depends on their strength and hard work, how they play and whether England Women will be under their control or not. This is not the work of any one player unless they try together, it will be tough for them to victory the match and England Women will have ended the series by then. Therefore, New Zealand Women will have to take a good decision soon and make changes in the team.

New Zealand women got the opportunity to bat. They took advantage of this opportunity and made a target of 210, which can be a challenging target. But the England team proved this wrong and showed it by making more scores than their opponent team in this match. Some of the women from the New Zealand team have made very good scores, in which the highest score was made by Maddy Green who has made 88 runs and in second place Amelia Kerr who has made 55 runs. They have also shown hard work for their team. But in this match, England played a good game in which the women did not make a lot of scores, but still they have reached their desired target by making little by little scores, which shows their excellent strength. Maia Bouchier from their team also  They have scored 59 and along with that some women have also scored well, that is why they have been able to win this match.

This is the first ODI match of the New Zealand Women tour of England, which has been played between the New Zealand Women and the England Women teams. In this, the New Zealand team was given the opportunity to bat first and they set a target of only 210 runs and all their players were out in about 48 overs. If you look at it, this is not a special run. 210 run are common in 50 over but two of their player, named Maddy Green and Amelia Kerr have scored almost half the run.One of them scored 88 runs and the other scored 55 run. On the other hand, the England team also took only 48 and four balls to achieve the target given by them, but they completed this target. Due to this, this match, which is the first ODI match, the England Women team won, which has caused a very bad failure for the New Zealand Women team. But if they had shown a little effort in bowling, then only 10 balls would have remained.  The New Zealand team could have won.

Scotland vs Nepal

Scotland did their allotted 200, but they were missing key finishing kick to make impact and it was mid off battle all round. Nepal bowlers bowled great job in bringing pressure when Scotland tried to push tempo, bowlers like Karan KC took two wickets off Nepalese bowlers. Michael English 34 runs off 72 balls in middle really is sign that today was tough day in middle.
I believe

Nepal have plenty of wickets to spare infirst 10 overs provided they do not suffer top order collapse, if that can be avoided. But it will be discipline that will be their greatest weapon as Scotland defence. And if they can get some early movement from new ball then 244 runs is going to look like 280 before long. Battle between Nepal chase and Scotland dot ball strategy will be on display in this game.

Battle between Nepal chase and Scotland dot ball strategy will be on display in this game.

Was curious to know what was this dot ball strategy you are referring, turns out Scotland just scored a single run which means 5 dot balls and lost 2 wickets in the final over. It is a home game for Nepal and it is not a high scoring game and expecting an easy chase for Nepal as they have won games chasing far bigger total against Scotland.

If the overs were not limited to 39 as per the DLS method Nepal would have easily chased Scott Land target because according to ODI matches Scott Land 243 runs were normal but for some reason they would reduce the overs so the Nepal team was put under pressure and they lost the match easily.The DLS method has a bad effect on the opposing team because the first team plays the match easily.Scott Land showed excellent batting and excellent bowling.In batting most of the batsmen did their duty and in bowling Bradley Currie took 3 important wickets and prevented the Nepal team from progressing.The Nepal team hard work was quite great but unfortunately they lost by only 2 runs.The batsman who was at the crease should have played a little faster and given the team a winning.

After few days’ break ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 competition has started again. In this round, matches will be played among these squads Nepal, USA and Scotland. In rankings, USA is currently leading competition at top position while Scotland is placed just below USA and Nepal is present in second last position. Scotland squad was begun match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 243 scores as a defending off 50 overs inning. Special thanks to George Munsey batter who displayed his strong batting performance and he was top scorer of this match and managed to collect 75 scores off 62 deliveries. During Nepal innings, heavy rain reduced match to 39 overs and according to DLS calculation, Scotland were declared winners by 2 scores. Brad Currie and Mark Watt played crucial role in bowling inning and both picked up 3 and 2 wickets respectively.

Scotland cricket team made good target in this match and that team was very high quality and they performed very well in this match. Nepal cricket team could not chase the target in this match and they lose the match at the end. George Munsey played important inning for the team and he made 75 runs for the team which was a big achievement by that player. All team gave full effort in this match but they won the match by DLS method because rain interrupted in this match and opponent team players effort was less as como to opponent team and they could not handle the pressure in last overs and they lose the match at the end. Dipendra Singh Airee tried to give good rhythm to his team but they could not win due to DLS method , otherwise they could win this match.

The ODI game between Nepal and Scotland was very interesting because its the game of ICC Wold Cup league 2 and Scotland defeated Nepal in this game. Scotland opens innings fisrt and the openers was so brilliant and put a great start for the team and especially George Munsey was incredible in this game and showing his experience by putting seventy runs plus imings and in middle order Michael English was so impressive and showing his power hitting skills by playing a impactful knock and Scotland ends the innings with a good total.

Nepal openers was also very excited due low target but actually its a very difficult due to bowling track of pitch. But in middle order Dipendra Singh was so amazing and guide the right track to the team by putting his half century and also Gulsan Jha played a very aggressive knock but Nepal batters losing there wickets early on until all Scotland Won the gene

2nd ODI England Vs New Zealand Women

Tomorrow will be the second one day match between England women and New Zealand women. So far, the series result is like 1 - 0. And England Women are leading this. This time, I think New Zealand needs to set more targets, try to cross 250 runs or at least 240 (if they are batting first), because last time we have seen that England women chased the target at the last ball of the second last over. On the other hand, New Zealand's bowling is good enough, they are able to defend.

In long format New Zealand Women team scored very low runs. In starting they lost 2 wickets early. After that Amelia Kerr and  Maddy Green build a partnership. Just these two players showed well runs. Remaining other players could not show well performance. They lost back to back wickets and showed very poor and disappointed batting, so they could score 210 runs and lost all wickets. On the other hand England Women team bowled outstanding. They gave less runs and took back to back wickets. But England team won the match but they played more extra balls and they chased this total in 48.2 overs. Although they won the match but as the total run chase was lowest so they should finished the match in 30 overs but they took long. Anyways they won the match very closely.

I tried playing some cricket yesterday on the Bangladesh Vs Pakistan game.. damn these games are going to put you on the edge of your seat.. imagine I just eyeballed some cricket odds and put some money on Bangladesh to win as they were the favourites before the rains interrupted the game..then I checked a different bookies only to realize the draw was highly favoured..day 5 came and now game swung in favour of Pakistan with some ruthless batting from Fazal who looked like he would singlehandedly win it for his country but after he was bowled out the odds went back to Bangladesh to win and that's how my 10odd betslip won 

Will need to watch more of the cricket, but this stuff is played all day sometimes all several days

2nd ODI England Vs New Zealand Women

Tomorrow will be the second one day match between England women and New Zealand women. So far, the series result is like 1 - 0. And England Women are leading this. This time, I think New Zealand needs to set more targets, try to cross 250 runs or at least 240 (if they are batting first), because last time we have seen that England women chased the target at the last ball of the second last over. On the other hand, New Zealand's bowling is good enough, they are able to defend.

This match was very important for the victory of New Zealand Women and the success of the series because they have been defeated in the first match, due to which they could have victory this match to level the series but the match was not played due to which it did not yield any results. Their success in this target will be more easy. For this victory, a target of at least 260 is necessary because that target can be given enough easily in 50 overs. If the opposing team bowling hard and fields well to meet this target then New Zealand Women can success in this match. But unfortunately, that match was not played. There was something good for New Zealand Women in it but England Women are also effort their best to victory the series. Now the last match will be an opportunity for interest and England Women victory this series or the series ends in a draw.

Unfortunately, this match has been abandoned after the toss, because of the bad weather conditions. Also, this was a plus point for the New Zealand women team because they were one kind of  under dog team in this series especially the batting lineup of New Zealand women team couldn't be stable in front of the England women Team bowler. 
But even then, I don't think New Zealand women's team will be able to win this ODI series because there is still a bird in the third match and if that too is abandoned due to rain then England team will win with one match to go. And it will be a bit tough for New Zealand to win against England.
