The Oman cricket team and the Namibia cricket team entered the field to face each other in the 17th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two. So far this tournament these two teams have faced each other in two matches where both the teams have won one match each i.e. they are evenly matched in terms of power.

However, according to the point table, Namibia cricket team is in a very strong position than Oman cricket team, they are currently at number 2. The Namibian cricket team has faced the opposition in seven matches so far in the group stage where they have won four matches which has improved their points. On the other hand, Oman cricket team's defeat rate is more than their win rate which has pushed them to the bottom of the points table.

Namibia is dependent on some of their players with franchise T20 experience - especially Ruben Trumpelmann and David Wiese. Trumpelmann has been missing for some time, and I am not sure of the exact reason. Wiese is 39 years old and I am not sure whether we will see him in international cricket anymore. The player pool is very small for Namibia. They are a country of just 2.5 million, and out of that cricket is being mostly played by German and Afrikaans speaking whites who comprise just 4% of this 2.5 million.

That is really hard for a country who is trying to improve in certain sports. They already have a very low number of people in the country. And if they are not all interested in a certain sport, or at least half of them are not interested, it is obviously going to be a big problem for them to improve in that sport.

One thing I want to mention is that, if only 4% of the people of the country are actually playing cricket, imagine what would happen if the country were very interested in this sport!

I am not saying that the people of that country are not interested in cricket at all. However, the thing is, to be good in a certain sport, at least 30/40% of people have to think about that sport like it can be a profession. And of course, the government and also the ICC has to push cricket very hard in that country. Not only in Namibia but also in many other countries where there is a big potential of improvement in cricket. By doing that, the population of a country is most probably not going to be a problem.

The day before yesterday there was a meeting between Jay Shah and Moshin Naqvi and in between some ICC senior people. PCB, ICC, and BCCI were there.
This meeting was held in the Colombo and it was based on the controversy that Pakistan hosts to Champions Trophy. So far, Pakistan is hosting this event and BCCI does not complain against this. They are coming in the Pakistan to play the Asia Cup.

Also, ICC told PCB the budget of the event and the BCCI also happy with this. ICC told if the Indian team would not come to play in Pakistan then Sri Lanka come in the event and would qualify for the Champions Trophy because nobody has issues playing in Pakistan except India but now they are also fully aligned.

This is just wishful thinking. I don't think that there is any chance of India traveling to Pakistan, to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy. Either the tournament will be shifted out of Pakistan, or held in hybrid mode (similar to what happened with the last edition of the Asia Cup). And your argument that Sri Lanka can replace India is childish. If Indian team is not participating in the tournament, then 80% of the revenue is gone and the ICC will have to compensate the media rights holders.

In news, it is looking too good about this because ICC and BCCI both are on one page with Pakistan and all is going good but peoples those are living in this region and also understand the ground realities of these countries understand about this as well because we need just few hours and both will be on opposite sides and things will be out of control for all without any problem it's nature of these countries and their culture as well.

I am also excited about Champions Trophy is going to be played in Pakistan after 6 months and this is going to be big breakthrough for them after having many problems and controversies in last few years which hit Pakistani cricket badly, and they are almost out of the touch as well. If we have India in this event this could be big win for the game and Pakistan because I have strong feeling we will be having Sri Lanka as their replacement instead of India which is still hot topic with their government.

Last week the ICC conducted elections for Associate Member Directors during the ICC Annual Conference in Colombo. Three members were elected: Imran Khwaja (Singapore), Mubashshir Usmani (United Arab Emirates) and Mahinda Vallipuram (Malaysia). The good news is that BCCI proxy Pankaj Khimji (Oman) is out. He did a lot of damage to the associate cricket. Other defeated candidates include Stephen Musaele, Rudie van Vuuren, Mahmood Gaznavi, Sam Arthur, Sankar Renganathan and Gurumurthy Palani.

Today was a very low score match oman and Scotland. Oman all team out on 91 runs . Scotland team won the between e match by 8 runs. This was bowling friendly pitch and bowlers played very well on this pitch. Scotland bowled well and dismissed five players of the Oman team for zero runs. Charlie cassell played very brilliant he took 7 wickets by giving 21 runs in 5 overs and was awarded as a player of the match. G main also took 1 wickets by giving 11 runs in 4 overs and he performed an excellent bowling .From oman batting side , p athavale played very well and made 34 runs and after Athavale no player has been able to preformed the well.

I also predict Oman and Scotland to win, they all came true. And the main reason for this is the perform of both of them. In this match as before, the Scotland bowler bowled very well and applied a lot of pressure and set a target of just 91 runs for his batsmen. And their batsmen achieved that target in 17 overs. In this match, the speed of their batsmen was slow. But the target was achieve and the match was won. It will be a huge achievement for Oman if they work hard and beat Scotland. They have lost many matches against Scotland. And I want Oman to beat Scotland with their good performance and win the match.As Oman bowler had put pressure in this match, if they had put more, they could have won the match. Because the pace of the Scotland batsmen was low.

I recently watched the match between Scotland and Oman at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Scotland won the match by a huge margin (which is not really surprising given the fact that they are the strongest among associate teams). One thing that I noticed was their jersey. Scotland always have the coolest jerseys among all the cricket teams. And this has been the case for the last 2 decades or so. Why can't the other teams follow their example? BTW, I am really tired of the boring Indian jersey. They never changes it. Check these images:

Few days ago one another game in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 tournament was completed between Oman and Scotland teams. Oman showed very bad effort throughout in match and also in this tournament with losing all three matches in past with this one. But Scotland team performed very good and in this match their tema defeated Oman team by a good margin. The bowlers of Scotland, especially Charlie Cassell was displayed outstanding performance with taking 7 wickets and restricted Oman team only 91 runs record. The batsmen of Scotland both Richie Berrington and Brandon McMullen easily chased Oman team record of 91 runs. Oman team did not play well and Scotland team paying amazing throughout the tournament and have potential to win this tournament.

The Seattle Orcas played well in previous match in Major League tournament but this time they did not perform well and disappointed their fans. However, Los Angeles team this time showed amazing performance and win the game and better than previous matches making their fans very happy. Even spectators enjoyed it a lot and hopefully they continue play well in future. Los Angeles played this match with amazingly with their team members. Los Angeles team won this game by 4 wickets and 5 balls and successfully chased total record of Seattle Oscar team. 15th match between Seattle Oscar and Los Angeles was played at Street Park stadium. Orcas team won thee toss and choosing batting first. Los Angeles played a very good match their performance was impressive. The best performance in Los Angeles team was showed by Ryan Rickelton, he scored 89 runs in 52 balls and 2 catches.

Yes,you are right. Los Angeles cricket team played excellent in last match and they won the match due to best strategy. SEO cricket team could make only 142 runs and Los Angeles team stopped then on low score and bowlers of Los Angeles did excellent bowling. Ryan made highest score of this match but his team could not win this match and after that he was given player of the match and he deserved that. He played excellent inning and made match interesting and without his work ,his team could not stand good total. We saw fight in this match due to one and only player that is Ryan.The top scorer of Los Angeles team was Chand and he made 62 runs in just 47 balls and his team won the match due to team effort. The team effort of Los Angeles team was excellent.

SEO batsmen have not given such a difficult target in this match. And indeed, the Los Angeles batsmen have put up a brilliant display of batting. SEO batsmen have given a target of only 142 in 20 overs. They could win with their batsmen. But winning this match was in the hands of their bowler. But due to their bowler not bowling well, Los Angeles batsmen completed the target of 143 in 19 overs and won the match. This batsman has worked hard and struggled but his bowler wasted his hard work and struggle and will lose the match. If their bowlers stopped runs and took wickets, they could have won the match. But luck did not support them and they lost the match. Congratulations to the Los Angeles team on the win. The pace of the Los Angeles batsmen has won them the match. If not for their speed, the match could have been SEO.

To be honest I am not much familiar with this competition Major League and I just watch few matches of this competition and but I found this match was interesting and played among San Francisco Unicorns sqaud against MI New York squad. Because in this match we saw a good match with good fight and with also very narrow outcome with 100% percent good response from both side. Frist San Francisco Unicorns sqaud has begun this match first with batting inning with winning toss task. In this innings, San Francisco Unicorns squad has managed to collect 148 scores which seem not big job to achieve this scores for victory but I really appreciated the performance of their sqaud bowlers how their bowlers restricted the batter of MI New York squad batter to achieve their Defeating target and was too near to catch but at end San Francisco Unicorns bowlers succeeded to defend their target. Out of last five overs, these two overs made this victory could be possible first over 17 and second over 19 over. In these overs, just few runs to gave the batter of MI New York squad and also picked wicket.

The performance of Gibraltar cricket team is very bad . The players of Gibraltar cricket team are not in good form and they are lose for the country. Gibraltar team should work on their skills because today is modern time and every person want match with big sixes and fours but the players of Gibraltar are not hitting the sixes and also we did not see good partnership in last couple of matches. But I think selected should change the team ,if they will select the same team for the next tournament,the result will also be same . So playes should work hard because they earn by playing cricket and everyone want benefit from the other. If they will not play well ,they will be out of the team because nobody can bear burden on him.They lose last match by 6 runs but they could win this match if they play well in the end but they performed bad in the end.

One Day Tournament

Hindukush Strikers vs Maiwand Champions Hindukush Strikers playing this tournament with amazing performance and they won all matches they played in past total 3 and dominate this league with 6 points and also in top rank. Their recent match against Maiwand Champions team, their bowlers showing well effort and Maiwand Champions team only set 172 runs record. Abdul Malik and Rahmat Shah these two amazing batsman of HIS team led chase of small record and making score 90 and 69. HIS team easily achieving record with 78 balls and 9 wickets. Maiwand Champions showed bad struggle with none of their players reaching on high runs in batting and made many difficulties for bowlers to secure the record . This game match was held at Kunduz Cricket Ground where HIS's bowlers both F. Dawoodzai and M. Alizai dismissed good Batsman and make possible this game to win.

As far as MAC's performance is concerned in this match, their performance was very poor. Because this match consisted of innings of 50 overs. In which the MAC batsmen scored only 172 runs in 46 overs and the entire team will be out. Their batsmen kept their pace fast and their batsmen did not perform well in the match due to which this target was difficult. The bowler of HIS did a very good bowling performance to get an easy target in the match. And their batsmen won the match by completing the target in 37 overs. Congratulations to him for this win. The real victory in this match is due to their bowler. Because their bowler stopped a lot of runs and took wickets due to which they got an easy target and HIS team will win the match easily. The MAC team should try to perform well in the match and work hard and struggle in the match so that they also win the match and strengthen themselves.

Gibraltar is a small territory measuring around 1,500 acres with a population of around 30,000 (check the picture below and it covers entire territory). Given this, they have performed credibly in international cricket so far. And almost all of their players are natives. Most of the other teams taking part in this tournament (2024–25 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier) have population in millions (if not tens of millions) and many of them doesn't even have a single native player in their squad.

Yes ,you are right . Gibraltar cricket team is playing well at International level and that is not small thing and they are performing well . Win and lose is a part of game but I saw the Gibraltar team as good opponent team because they always fought well.

Gibraltar team should work hard because they can improve their performance and they need good coach and if they got a good coach,we will see they will perform excellent at International level. It is not team that will play against India, Australia and Pakistan but it is a team that can win matches against Small teams. If they will play well against small teams ,test will get confidence and they will play well against big team .We can see the stat of Gibraltar team and I think that is not bad and they won many matches in couple of months.

Agreed. There are so many cricket leagues these days that it's easy to choose what we want to watch at any specific time of the year. Personally, I was interested in the India vs Zimbabwe series and had fun watching it(Highlights mostly).

Was busy watching Wimbledon and Euro 2024 too simultaneously. Excited for the upcoming Olympics Paris 2024 as well.

India team won back to back 4 games and also won this series by 4 wins out of 5 and Zimbabwe team only 1 st game of this series but I am very happy because he successfully win one game and I think that Indian total whitewashed Zimbabwe weak team. In 5 th game, India team made 167 runs in 20 overs and Zimbabwe team stopped the Batsman of India team for low runs. S.Samson made brilliant half century and he made 58 runs in 45 balls and he hitted one 4s and four 6s. If this Batsman wicket dropped in early stage of game Indian definitely lose this game. Zimbabwe team chased 125 runs only and lost this game by 42 runs. M Kumar took down 4 wickets in 3.3 overs with 25 overs definitely good effort in bowling and Dube got a player of game award because of his outstanding struggle in batting or bowling. Congratulations Indian team.

This was one of the most useless series I have ever watched in T20I cricket. Apart from the first match, all others were lop-sided. At least the BCCI should have asked ZC to make it a bit more entertaining by making it a tri-series. Namibia or Kenya could have been added as the third team in case South Africa wasn't interested. In the end, it turned out to be such a shitty series that was beneficial only for improving the career stats of Indian bench players. BTW, I hope that the BCCI has secured the votes from ZC in ICC elections for the next 5-6 years.

Such series are helpful for new players, no? Regarding, improving career stats of players, I don't think it's the case since most were new players, more for experience than stat padding IMO.

On making it a tri-series, SA addition could have been entertaining indeed but it'd have been still as if two sides were playing since obviously India vs SA would have been in the final after thrashing Zimbabwe from both sides; and if it was Kenya/Namibia, their encounters might have been interesting against Zimbabwe but whoever would have made it to finals were waiting to get thrashed by India anyhow.

Three similar caliber of teams, then we are talking.

I agree, for the sake of game of cricket we have to go through for the series like these because we have no choice for these countries which are having talent, and they are trying their best for jumping above, but their system is not allowing them but things still are good and manageable.

Indian youngsters stole the show with their performance, and we have good suitable replacement candidates as well who will be considerable for the tour of the Sri Lanka which is starting soon. No doubt Zimbabwean fans also enjoyed these games because environment in stadium were amazing to watch games at home while stuff happened.

For the sake of cricket? Well.. if that was the case, then I have other ideas. In case you want to give players such as Abhishek Sharma and Tushar Deshpande a taste of international cricket, then the BCCI should have organized A team tours against opposition like Australia A or England A. Those matches would have been much more competitive when compared to the matches against Zimbabwe national team. And in case you are interested in spreading the game, then please arrange matches against Nepal or Namibia rather than useless full members such as Zimbabwe or Bangladesh.

I am still not very sure about the very purpose of this series between India and Zimbabwe. Latter can't even qualify for the T20 World Cup (even after it's expansion to 20 countries). What makes Zimbabwe a preferred team, when compared to associates such as Nepal and Namibia? Despite being a neighboring nation, the BCCI has never organized a series against Nepal till now. On the other hand, Zimbabwe gets a series against India once every 2-3 years. Quite unfair, in my opinion.

Apart from their usual commitment of handing out bilateral to full members, BCCI also strengthening India's bench strength so it makes complete sense.

As far as associate nations go. BCCI recently sent Punjab domestic team to Nambia where both teams played 5 ODI series (4-1 to Punjab). They can't send the national team everywhere and from the recent trend I've noticed, it looks like they are trying to create a system where the domestic teams regularly play against associates. They did more or less the same thing when Nepal played a tri-series in Gujrat against 2 domestic teams.

Plus, last year before the WC Karnataka hosted the Nederlands.
