ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Farhan99]

What an exciting match. Scotland had terrible start losing two players almost immediately which surely worried their fans. But then two of their batsmen amazingly scored over 100 runs each under huge pressure completely changing game and setting big target of 324 runs. Nepal also struggled early on and even though Bhim Sharki played well they could not get enough strong partnerships losing by only two runs. These kinds of close dramatic games are what make cricket so thrilling. I was thinking that Scotland would win with a big margin but Nepal really gave them a tough time.

I really feel for Nepal, they deserve to win after all the hard work they have done in the match. Nepal is not having a good time in this World Cup League but we have seen some good cricket from Nepal in their last 3 games. When Scotland set a target of 323 runs, nobody expected that Nepal will finish so close to the target. It's a good sign for Nepal cricket that the team is performing well against team like Netherlands and Scotland who are among strong teams of this league. The next target for Nepal will be to get victory against top team of this tournament i.e. USA. 

According to the point table of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, USA is leading in the rankings with 28 points with tremendous victories against the best teams. At  position 2 Netherlands exist with 26 points winning 12 games out of 20 and today next game will be played against Nepal who is at 7th spot with 10 points so in my opinion more 2 points will be added in Netherland's points. Scotland holds 3rd position with 24 points just 2 points gap from Netherlands and its last game was played against Nepal. Oman hold the fourth place. Namibia has 14 points at 6th spot and the last team is UAE with just 6 points almost disqualified from the League.

I think after having 300+ on board from Scotland side while batting first no one expected Nepal lineup to perform like that delivering such nail biting fight, because in recent time we have seen Nepal as emerging side but now they were looking at fine position and can tackle any tough side on thier day. Honestly they really deserve that victory against Scotland but just with a margin of two runs they unable to secure thier match. Sharki, Airee and Kami done ordinary and really divert match in thier favor but some lack of performance from tail under runied thier entire hard work and dedication. Hope they will learn from thier mistakes in order to done some positive performance in coming future

You have given really clear and correct picture of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 scores. And yes USA is far ahead proving they are strong by beating top teams. Your guess that Netherlands will get two more points against Nepal today seems very likely especially since Nepal is at bottom. This win would help Netherlands secure their second place and keep pressure on Scotland who are very close behind them.
It looks like UAE is almost out of League which is tough. This competition is hard and only best teams will move forward easily. League 2 style really makes teams play consistently and point differences you pointed out show how every game is  important for these teams hoping to get into World Cup.

Today will be ICC Cricket World Cup League Two's 78th match, today's match will be between Nepal vs Netherlands. Nepal did not perform well in this tournament, so far Nepal has played 15 matches and won 4 matches, Nepal is at number 7 in the points table with ten points. On the other hand, Netherlands is number 2 in the points table with 26 points. The Netherlands have not done well in their last 3 matches, having lost their last 3 matches. There was a match between the two teams on June 4, where the Netherlands batted first and were bowled out for 225 runs and Nepal easily won by 5 wickets. So I will not be surprised if Nepal wins today. Now Nepal leads the head-to-head record between these two teams, Nepal has won 3 matches and Netherlands has won 2 matches in the last 5 matches between these two teams. So based on the performance of these two teams I think this match will be very competitive. Let's see which team can win.

The match against Nepal and Netherlands is not that great because the batting team is not playing so special and strong, due to which we can easily predict the match. This is an ODI series in which each team can give a big target with a strong and good game. Nepal will lose the match due to their poor batting because their batsmen have scored 43 runs so far and this run effort was played in 12 overs which is very weak. Their batsmen should play well in the next over and make a target above 250, which can also prove difficult for the Netherlands. But at this time the bowlers of the Netherlands are bowling hard, due to which Nepal is weak in this match. They should work hard and this is their last chance which can make them win and strong.There may be a lot of interest in the match right now, but this interest won't exist without Nepal hard work.

Yes, in this match the batting performance of nepal team is average current they are playing at 155 runs in a loss of 5 wickets in first 37th over of the match. Nepal team current run rate is 4.2 runs per over and in last 5 over they lose just one wickets and added only 22 runs in team total. Netherlands bowling performance was outstanding so far especially Michael Levitt spell they picked 3 important wickets by just giving 49 runs with an impressive economy rate under 5 runs per over. Paul van Meekeren also bowl well picking two wickets by giving 31 runs. Aarif Sheikh is playing at 40 runs from 50 balls, he is closed to his well deserved half century. I think its very difficult for Nepal to scored a huge target on board because they already lost 5 wickets.

In the end, Nepal made 236/9. Decent comeback by them, but I would say that it is far from a winning total. Aarif Sheikh was the backbone of Nepali batting, as he made 84. There were decent knocks from Bhim Sharki and Rohit Paudel, but no one in the lower order contributed. Heroes of the last match (Dipendra Singh Airee and Sompal Kami) didn't contributed much, and also Sompal was dropped for this match. Nandan Yadav is making his ODI and List A debut today, and let's see what he can do with the ball.

Nepal target is low but their bowlers still fighting hard to win the match. Netherlands at the moment need 126 runs from 26 overs and four of their top order batsmen are back to pavilion. If Nepal can get one or two wickets in next 5 overs then it will be difficult for Netherlands to win this game. We have seen some good cricket from Nepal in their last few games and I am sure Nepal will give a good fight in this game too just like they gave a good fight in their last game against Scotland.

Associate countries have serious problems with their consistency which keeping them hanging in balance Netherlands done good job in early matches but now they are having 3 matches losing streak today even they done good job but still now after Sandeep Lamichhane double strike things are coming into balance.

236 is looking not good target but good bowling keeping match alive Netherlands have good chance of jumping at the top of League table but this is looking not easy for them as their confidence is also not good after having three matches lost while Nepal which was at the bottom of league table done good work now have 2 wins and one dead heat lost against Scotland in last game by 2 runs. At the middle of this game, now Netherlands are 116 for 4 while in remaining 25 overs they needed 121 runs with 6 wickets in hand.

We have seen some good cricket from Nepal in their last few games and I am sure Nepal will give a good fight in this game too just like they gave a good fight in their last game against Scotland.

At the moment, it is a bit unpredictable. Netherlands needs another 80 runs to win, at 6.3 runs per over. But they have only 4 wickets to spare, and at the crease they have Kyle Klein and Noah Croes. Despite the small target, Nepal bowlers gave a tough time to the Dutch batsmen so far. And for Nepal the most encouraging sign has been the return to form from Sandeep Lamichhane. He has figures of 8-0-34-3 right now and has two more overs left in his quota. Lalit Rajbanshi also did well, but he has bowled out.

Credit goes to Nepal bowlers for this victory against Netherlands. If Nepal has shown such performance since start of this league then they will be among top teams of this league. Nepal recent victories proves that the team has the potential. Despite small target in today's game Nepal bowlers keep picking wickets that helped in restricting Netherlands to 220. Nepal set a target of 236 just because of Aarif Sheikh brilliant knock of 84 runs on just 85 balls otherwise Nepal would have given target of less then 200 runs.

We have been seeing excellent performances from Nepal players for some time now. A few days ago we saw Nepal win against Netherlands. In the last match, Scotland team gave a huge target of 324 runs. In this match too, Nepal won by just 2 runs. Even though they could not win the match, Nepal played very well.

Nepal could not give a very big target in today's match. However, Nepal was able to win the match due to the controlled bowling of the bowlers. Nepal gave a target of 237 runs. Netherlands' collection was 220 runs. Nandan Yadav and Sandeep Lamichhane took 6 wickets. Also, Kushal Bhurtel's bowling was very controlled.

What the hell is wrong going on with Netherlands like from a standing dominator team at early it's fifth consecutive defeat of them in his recent matches which is quite awful, I taught it's two only opportunity with them to dethrone USA from top. But now things Indicating something different as Netherlands has only opportunity to just match the point with USA while things will be decided via net runrate. But the way Scotland brutally punished them in recent matches I don't think results will be much different then previous, so I do believe Netherlands will end thier journey with second position.

Netherlands squad was failure in this round and they played total 3 matches and all 3 matches were failed to defeat their opponent. Recently, Netherlands squad against Nepal squad played 77th match and in this match, Nepal squad was begun match first with batting inning and their batters managed to collect 236 scores as a defend and this scores was not quite huge but Netherlands batters were not able to defeat 262 scores. Aarif Sheikh was top performer of this match and they supported Nepal squad by collecting 84 scores off 85 deliveries. Sandeep Lamichhane and Nandan Yadav both bowlers picked up 3 and 3 crucial wickets and played significant role in victory.

While chasing down target Netherlands team only managed to score 220 runs all team bowled out and just lost the match by 16 runs. The man of The Match is Aarif Sheikh for his outstanding batting performance scored 84 runs from 85 balls, unfortunately they missed a well deserved century by 16 runs short. they played runs a balls but his efforts reached Nepal team total to 236 runs. Nepal bowling performance also wonderful especially Nandan Yadav picked three crucial wickets and Sandeep Lamichhane also picked 3 important wickets by just giving only 39 runs and restricted Netherlands team at 220 runs.

Yep, In 77th game of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup between Netherlands  and Nepal, Nepal won the game by delivering a target of 236 runs with the fabulous performance by Aarif Sheikh. Nepal's openers entered the ground in great form but unfortunately they lost wickets at very start of the game giving more confidence to Netherland's bowlers. Paul van Meekren got back to back wickets creating a hard situation and the final order batsmen struggled and Nepal lost all wickets at 236 runs. Netherlands has to chase 236 runs, but the performance of top order was average but they contributed decent runs to chase the target. Beside the hard bowling top order batsman hitted boundaries and exerted a pressure to easily achive the target however Netherlands changed its strategies but Nepal kept its bowling performance and at the end of day, Nepal won this game by 16 runs.

Nepal's 1st inning was bad, couldn't make a good score. If it were not for Aarif Sheikh's 83, it would have been much lower.
It was an unbelieveable performance by Nepali spinners. The target was low and Netherlands were looking to chase it comfortably but the tight bowling of Lalit Rajbanshi, Sandip Lamichhane and Kushal Bhurtel coupled with great fielding where they didn't even allowed dutch players to take a single built pressure on the dutch team. Which made them lose wickets at regular intervals and were all out in the last over. Even if they were not all out, they would not have made the chase as they were not able to maintain the run rate.

[Compromise me]

In the end, Nepal made 236/9. Decent comeback by them, but I would say that it is far from a winning total. Aarif Sheikh was the backbone of Nepali batting, as he made 84. There were decent knocks from Bhim Sharki and Rohit Paudel, but no one in the lower order contributed. Heroes of the last match (Dipendra Singh Airee and Sompal Kami) didn't contributed much, and also Sompal was dropped for this match. Nandan Yadav is making his ODI and List A debut today, and let's see what he can do with the ball.

Yes, Nepal were 155 runs for the loss of five wickets in 37 overs and have taken it to 230 runs plus at the end of the first innings. While chasing down target Netherlands team only managed to score 220 runs all team bowled out and just lost the match by 16 runs. The man of The Match is Aarif Sheikh for his outstanding batting performance scored 84 runs from 85 balls, unfortunately they missed a well deserved century by 16 runs short. they played runs a balls but his efforts reached Nepal team total to 236 runs. Nepal bowling performance also wonderful especially Nandan Yadav picked three crucial wickets and Sandeep Lamichhane also picked 3 important wickets by just giving only 39 runs and restricted Netherlands team at 220 runs.

Nepal cricket team made an average target in this match and that team made 236 runs in this match and target is  237 runs in this match. Sheikh is top scorer in this match because he made 84 runs in this match and played 85 balks in this match, he hit 2 sixes and 7 fours which is excellent performance by that player. There are many players who played role but he was main person who played big inning in this match.The Naderland team lost the match by 16 runs, the main reason for their loss was the inability to form a partnership between the players. If they had established a good partnership in the last over, they could have won because they still had one more over left, but unfortunately they had no wickets left.

Yes Nepal scored strong total of 236 runs meaning other team needed 237 runs to win. Sheikh was best player for Nepal making 84 runs from 85 balls. He hit 2 sixes and 7 fours which was really important for his team score.
It is interesting that Netherlands only lost by 16 runs. Main reason they lost was because their players could not team up and bat together. Even though they had one over left to play they had no wickets left. I was thinking that Netherlands will win this match and better their place in points table but Nepal played really well and won this match from Netherlands. Congratulations to Nepal on their win.

Today will be ICC Cricket World Cup League Two's 78th match, today's match will be between Nepal vs Netherlands. Nepal did not perform well in this tournament, so far Nepal has played 15 matches and won 4 matches, Nepal is at number 7 in the points table with ten points. On the other hand, Netherlands is number 2 in the points table with 26 points. The Netherlands have not done well in their last 3 matches, having lost their last 3 matches. There was a match between the two teams on June 4, where the Netherlands batted first and were bowled out for 225 runs and Nepal easily won by 5 wickets. So I will not be surprised if Nepal wins today. Now Nepal leads the head-to-head record between these two teams, Nepal has won 3 matches and Netherlands has won 2 matches in the last 5 matches between these two teams. So based on the performance of these two teams I think this match will be very competitive. Let's see which team can win.

Yep, In 77th game of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup between Netherlands  and Nepal, Nepal won the game by delivering a target of 236 runs with the fabulous performance by Aarif Sheikh.

Beside the hard bowling top order batsman hitted boundaries and exerted a pressure to easily achive the target however Netherlands changed its strategies but Nepal kept its bowling performance and at the end of day, Nepal won this game by 16 runs.

Nepal rank still very low and they played 16 games total and they won only 5 games and 9 games were lost and 2 was draw. But Nepal effort was more strong than Netherlands team today and also in past game. In 77 th game, Nepal team set 236 runs target in 50 overs by losing 9 wickets. I see that Nepal bowlers helped a lot team to win games because 236 runs target in 50 overs was normal but Bowlers showed great effort to stop Netherlands team win game. Aarif got player of game because his effort in batting was strong and made 84 runs in 85 balls and hitted seven 4s and two 6s. Netherlands team did not chase all runs and lost game by 16 runs. Yadav and Sandeep took too many wickets of Netherlands team and Yadav dismissed 3 wickets in 9 overs and gave 39 runs. Sandeep bowled 10 overs and roof 3 wickets and 39 runs.
