ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Yes, the Netherlands won by 57 runs. But they started inning very poorly because they lost some wickets early. 4 wickets they lost early and at 4th wicket they scored low runs and played more dot balls. After that they overcome this weak point and build partnership. Scott and croes took responsibility and made the team strong with their great performance. Although they played little slow but at this condition the runs were important so they fulfilled this requirement and overall they could succeed to make 255 runs.
Nepal team side, they bowled well but in batting side they showed poor performance. Just Aasif and Rohit scored well runs, the other players could not play responsible role for team and they lost back to back wickets and lost the match.

To be honest about the match between the Netherland and namibian team before the starting I was expecting a great match from the Netherland team but I am really regretting for that, because the starting of Netherland team was very bad with their batting performance and as well if we talk about their bowling performance we didn't see any hope for them.

So, at least for now, it must be said that instead of a fight in the points table between the Netherlands and Scotland, the Netherlands team lost and the Scotland team moved one step closer to second place.

The target was very short in this match and that was a big reason Namibia cricket team easily chased that target. The target should be at 270 280 according to modern cricket but Netherlands team did not show potential in this match and they lose wickets one after another and their score was not enough to restrict opponent team on just 183 runs. Jan Frylinck played with bravery and he played potential inning for his team and team won the match but they are not in the top four because they have 28 points on the table and they have Nega run rate and they will not end up their journey by being in top four because other teams which are present at top have full form. Scotland run rate is good and they deserve to be in second place.

Yes, this target is very low compared to 50 overs, although if their batsmen had worked together, this target could have been stronger. The batsmen have given a very low target, their batsmen should have given a target closer to it. The batsmen played very carelessly and if they had taken advantage of 50 overs, this target could have been much stronger. The strength of the Netherlands is not very good and successful in every match, the result of which is clear in this match. The Namibian batsmen also played a lot of carelessness, but they will victory by fulfilling this target in 41 overs while playing some good games. Scotland is also a very good team, but if they make changes, their strength can also increase a lot and they can perform enough well in the league.

I agree with you that the Netherlands team has brought itself from the bottom to the second position.Both the Netherlands batsmen and bowlers perform with great effort and dedication and have been winning consistently.But recently, the Netherlands lost badly against Namibia. The Netherlands is at a stage where there is no room for losing the match because if Scotland wins the next match the Netherlands will lose its second position. Currently the Netherlands is in the second position.But if we talk about the performance of this match, the sudden weakening of the Netherlands is incomprehensible.That is why the Netherlands will have to strengthen its batting and bowling line, lest the other teams leave the Netherlands behind.

This series has gone on for 120 matches and this 120 match was between the Netherlands and Namibia, in which both teams were quite excited before the start of the match because they were expected to perform well in the 50 overs, but the Netherlands scored only 183 runs, which proves that the Netherlands team did not perform well in this match, but the team they were playing against did their best in this match and did not take them many overs to achieve their target. They ended the match in 41 overs and Jan Frylinck and Malan Kruger are the two players who changed the match and gave a good start again and played an important role in winning this match and only three players from their team were dismissed. The Netherlands also tried their best but could not succeed in this match. Overall, the Netherlands team was better than the other team.  There are 10 points more than the table.

But I thought that the Netherland team would going to win this match because they were in the winning streak on the previous days and that is why I thought that they will going to easily defeat the namibian team.

But here we saw that the namibian bowlers did really good performance in this match especially if I talk about these 3 bowlers- Ruben Trumpelmann, Jack Brassell, Bernard Scholtz this  trio incredibly take the 8 wicket of Netherland team. This means that these three were responsible for destroying the Netherlands' batting line-up and they should be given the biggest credit for Namibia's victory.

Scotland is also a very good team, but if they make changes, their strength can also increase a lot and they can perform enough well in the league.

I believe the main issue was the lack of partnerships as well as the low total. The 50 over format requires a couple of better stands to put a team in a competitive position. Frequent dismissals of middle order batsmen make it tough for the bowlers to press later. If Nam plays an intelligent base-runner and plays safe, they should be able to run comfortably to this mark. Scot has been a better performer in recent games and will need to be more consistent in order to be a major factor in the side in the coming season. A second one is fielding as missing a catch or a blunder can transform the outcome of a game. If the bowling side is disciplined and gets the wickets early then even a small target can become tough. There is still room for improvement for both sides and this will help them to do better in the next games.

Namibia clinched the win against Netherlands due to their strong grip over the game. Netherlands batted first but Namibia bowlers were highly charged. They created trouble for their players throughout the game. Due to tight fielding Namibia players made difficult for them to get the scores. They actually stopped them on their toes, in the game of fifty overs Netherlands managed to produce low target like T20 match. Whereas Namibia gave furious Reply with the bat. Although their three batsman were out on duck but rest of the tail played very well. As they had many balls in hand so they played the game patiently not taking the risk of wickets loss. So they wrapped the match in 41 overs, the target was low it could be get early. But Namibia batsman make no haste for the win

Yes, every team should be excited to perform well in the game. But only excitement isn't enough if you don't perform well. So this thing was done by Netherlands team. Because the Netherlands team did not show their excitement in performance. In the beginning of the match they lost 2  wickets early then they caught in trouble and looked into problems. So no one could deliver responsible performance except 2 players. So in a long format, playing like that was shameful for the team.
Namibia team showed their excitement and delivered outstanding performance in batting and bowling side. They gave less runs and dismissed all team at lowest total. So the total was low then they chased it easily in 41 overs but they chased this total too late. If they played little fast then could be complete in less overs. Anyway they showed well performance and won the match.

If we recap round of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, it was played from 2 April to 12 April and featured tri nation among NAM, OMA and SCO. In that round, Namibia squad managed to collect just 3 point and they earned 2 points from one win while another match finished with no result giving them 1 point.

NAM squad has made strong come-back in current round which feature NAM, NED and NEP squads. All three squad have played four matches and NAm squad has collected 6 points in this round. Their most recent victory came against Netherlands squad. After their previous defeat, Namibia's confidence and qualification chances could have been affected but they responded brilliantly.

Namibia's bowlers fully collapsed NED squad bat inning. Netherlands lost important top order wicket early including Max O'Dowd, Bas de Leede etc. Ruben Trumpelmann and Jack Brassell bowlers were standout bowlers and taking three wickets each and helping restrict Netherlands to low total. NAM squad needed 183 scores from 50 over which was good opportunity to secure two points. They chased total comfortably with Jan Frylinck and Malan Kruger playing key roles. Their partnership made chase easy and both scored 64 and 68 runs respectively.

In the ICC Men Cricket World Cup League 2 the Netherlands managed to secure second place on the points table with a lot of effort and hard work but in the previous matches especially against Namibia the Netherlands performance was very poor because it is not possible to win by just 183 runs in 50 overs because the Namibian team could have easily achieved this target and that is what happened.Namibia added points to its tally by achieving this winning.There is no doubt that the Netherlands proved to be very weak in front of Namibian bowling because two bowlers took three wickets each and failed the Netherlands in their target.If the Netherlands had bowled as strongly and powerfully as Namibia it is possible that this victory would have been for the Netherlands.The entire Netherlands team is considered responsible for this defeat because not a single one of them tried to win and they  have lost the match very easily.

The target was very short in this match because one team have to give big target in this match to win this match And they gave target that was in the range of Namibia team and they chased the target very easily by losing only 4 wickets in this match and they have 6 wickets at the end of the match. Jan Frylinck was a person who made 68 runs in this match and he was top performer of this match because he played high quality inning at the perfect time.Kruger also played well in this match and he made 64 runs and target was achieved before 9 overs . Trumpelmann was a person who took 3 wickets in this match and many bowlers were dominant in this match and that was a reason there was a very low target in this match.

[Out of mind]

In the second ODI between Ireland and Afghanistan, the match was reduced to 47 overs due to rain. Afghanistan team batted in the first innings and scored 299 runs, their batting performance was much better than Ireland. Afghanistan team is much stronger than Ireland. Ibrahim Zadran has done a good batting performance and all the other batsmen have also done well. However, it is very difficult for Ireland to meet the target of three runs in this ODI match. Afghanistan team will have a good bowling performance in this match. Ireland team has already lost their three wickets while batting, if they can still play well, they will be able to reach the threshold of victory. Ireland team still needs to score 180 runs from 158 balls, which is very difficult according to their equation. However, Afghanistan team has a high chance of winning in today's match, they will definitely put a lot of pressure on Ireland team's batsmen at this moment.

Irish team was able to beat India in recent T20 series that was played in Ireland and same was expected from them in ODI series against Afghanistan but they failed to produce good results in second ODI. Afghans were able to set a target of 300 runs for the Irish team. Ibrahim Zadran was the highest run score from Afghanistan, he scored 84 runs. Irish team got out in 33.4 overs after scoring 207 runs. Rashid khan was man of the match for picking 6 wickets.

Even in these overs, Afghanistan batsmen played very well and strongly, although they were 3 overs short, they still made as much strength and effort as in 50 overs and made a strong target of 299, which Ireland could not meet this target. Ireland batsmen could have easily met this target because these batsmen had scored 209 runs in 33 overs, but for one of their negligence which was losing wickets, if it had not been for that, they could have achieved this target by achieving it. Afghanistan bowlers really worked hard and bowled hard, due to which all their batsmen were dismissed and Afghanistan benefited well and this was their first victory by a large margin. Afghanistan will succeed in this series by working hard and effort because their team has historical importance, which they can easily succeed with.

However, Afghanistan team has a high chance of winning in today's match, they will definitely put a lot of pressure on Ireland team's batsmen at this moment.

In the second ODI match between Ireland and Afghanistan, all the Afghanistan openers showed a good performance, in which they set a target of 299 runs in 47 overs and in this, eight of their players were dismissed. The last two players, AM Ghazanfar and Rashid Khan, showed a good performance except for them. Ibrahim Zadran scored 84 runs.

Due to the DSL method, the match became 47 overs. When Ireland started chasing the target given by their team, they had played only 33 and four balls before all their players were dismissed and they faced failure in this second ODI match. If you look at it, they had scored 207 runs. If there was no heavy bowling pressure on them and all their players were not dismissed, it was possible that they would have chased this target and won this match, but the Afghanistan team did not let this happen and won this match itself.

[Ab de villiers]

Afghanistan's players did splendid job with both bat and ball. Their top order set quite well tone for the team, almost their 6 players reached towards more than 30 score. That's wasthe contribution of each player allowing which to set a big target for the opposition. While Ireland's only two batsman managed to scores more than 30. Afghanistan's bowler Rashid Khan spell was mind blowing, he collected 6 wickets of Ireland. Totally devastating attack through bowl collapsed team too early. Or gave the defeat to their opponents by big margin of 92 runs. No doubt Afghanistan have been performing consistently in recent matches, so taking them lightly would be a big mistake for any team.

[Sawera2255@]

Afghanistan team perform very well in 2nd ODI match Ireland team decided for bowling by winning the tose The Afghanistan team make 299 at the lose of 8 wickets in 47 overs In which Ibrahim Zadran make 84 scores in 97 balls . Sediqullah Atal make 45 scores at 50 balls and Hashmatullah shahidi make 36 scores in 21 balls and remain prominent and on the other hand the team of Ireland make 207 scores at the lose of 10 wickets in 33.4 overs Cade Carmichael make 62 scores in 66 balls  and Andrew Balbirnie make 36 scores in 42 balls . The right -arm leg spin bowler of Afghanistan Rashid Khan out the 6 batsman of Ireland and he was called the player of the match .

[vs2014]

Afghanistan dominant performance defeated Ireland by 92 runs where the odi match reduced to 47 overs because of rain. In that situation, Afghanistan scored 299/8 runs to challenge their opponent where Ibrahim Zadran batting contribution helped Afghanistan a lot. However Ireland did a good start but because of afghan bowler Rashid Khan, they failed to continue their partnership longer. His brilliant spell created huge pressure on Ireland and because of that, they were eventually bowled out at 207 runs. Rashid khan took 6 wickets for just 34 runs and his bowling skill just changed the match direction and helped Afghanistan to achieved the victory easily.

Yes, I will also say that Afghanistan won the match because of Ibrahim's responsible batting and Rashid Khan's excellent bowling in that match. Although this series was supposed to have five ODI matches, the first match was abandoned due to rain. There was also doubt in the second match whether the game would take place at all, but in the end, the match was played in 47 overs where Afghanistan batted first and managed to score 299 runs for the loss of wickets. Ireland, after batting with a target of 300 runs, were all out for 207 runs in just 33.4 overs. Where Rashid Khan alone took six important wickets of Ireland.
The third ODI match will be held on the 10th, let's see which team wins that match.
