Second round of matches have started in the County Championship. Dean Elgar and Dean Elgar managed to score centuries for Essex, Tom Lammonby did it for Somerset. Cameron Steel (a native player from United States) picked up 4 wickets for Surrey against Somerset (a few days back, the USACA had disqualified Steel from representing them). Another native US player is representing Hampshire (Ian Holland). BTW, a number of overseas players are representing different county sides this season. Nathan Lyon is representing Lancashire, while Mohammad Abbas is playing for Hampshire. Others are Migael Pretorius (Somerset), Kemar Roach (Surrey), Jason Holder (Worcestershire), Scott Boland (Durham) and Blair Tickner (Derbyshire).

4 th game of This series which was played between USA team  vs Canada team and this game was already ended in pitch and result of this game USA team won this game. Canada team won toss got a opportunity to take bowl or bat and Canada team took a decision to give bat Chance to USA team. USA team set 159 runs target in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets. This win was not so easy but USA bowler made this possible by winning this game.  Canada team did not chase down this target and lost this game by 14 runs. S Taylor scored 39 runs in 24 balls and he hitted five 4s and two 6s. H.Singh won a player of game award by making brilliant effort and he scored 34 runs with not dismissed and hitted three 4s and two 6s and also in bowling he took down 4 wickets.  Some players of Canada showed very brilliant effort in batting and D.Bajwa scored 52 runs in 41 balls. If Canada sgo r some improvement in batting inning they would win this game but unfortunately this was not possible now.

Today is the 4 match of T20 series held between USA and Canada. Canada won the toss and first decided bowling. USA batsman makes 13 run in 1 over and Canada bowler no any wicket against USA batsman. This is the good started for USA batsman. Canada bowler out the USA batsman in the second ball of the 3 over. This is the first achievement for Canada team. Once time again Canada bowler out the USA batsman in the third ball of the 7 over. This is the second achievement for Canada team. USA batsman makes 78 run in 10 over and 3 outs. USA batsman are working hard and struggle and make run. USA batsman makes 159 run in 20 over and 6 outs. This is the good target. Now let's see Canada batsman can complete this target or not.

Tomorrow is the match of the United States of America where they are going to face Canada and probabilities are that the United States of America will win this match.

If you have an idea about the previous matches then you can see that in the first match, the United States of America’s bowling was too good because their batting was not good, and in the second match we saw the opposite of that. It means that when their batting is working they should have to understand their weakness is bowling and vice versa. Waiting to see what they will do at Prairie View stadium tomorrow against Canada. Now, I think the USA team will be in a position to whitewash this series if they can win the next two matches.

Odds for this match suggest a United States win too with the odds of 1.55.

United States of America should focus on their cricket team. They didn't perform well in last year's. They are also not available in top 10s. United States of America team can make his confidence by playing cricket with Zimbabwe team. But in my point of view, Zimbabwe team is not a small team and that is not easy for United States of America International cricket team to win against Zimbabwe team. Zimbabwe team is good team and they beat Pakistan in last World. They fight against big teams . Zimbabwe team is the only responsible of kick  out of Pakistan from last World Cup. Pakistani International cricket team could not make his position in semi final.

Yesterday was the third match between the United States of America and Canada where we have seen no match just because of rain and the match was finished without playing any ball even the toss did not happen because there was such a huge amount of rain which clearly says no match today.

However tomorrow they will again face each other at the same ground, hope that tomorrow we will not see the rain especially, during the match. The Canadian team got a chance to be saved at yesterday with the help of the weather otherwise as we have seen in the previous matches of this series, it clearly says that yesterday’s match would also be won by the United States of America.

Not only the United States but Canada also played with good teams and more stronger teams than Zimbabwe, West Indies, and Sri Lanka. If you remember that once a time, they played against Pakistan in the Asia Cup of 2022 where the bowling attack of Pakistan was too good and they picked all wickets of the Canada team in just 32 runs.

In that match Pakistan team won easily but as you said, if the Canada or the United States teams picked these tips then in future they would be more stronger and I think it is such a true line because as I said Canada has been played with more good teams in the past but they didn’t focus on their performance and just came to play, not like a professional. These teams need to analyze each match they play against each team and do the homework as to what went wrong in each match.
Winning the match may not be the focus but to get experience and perfrom better in every next match should be the goal for these low profile teams.

USA is a rag-tag team consisting of former players from different full member nations. I really doubt the morale of the players in representing the new country. Shadley van Schalkwyk and Andries Gous played first class cricket in South Africa. Players like Gajanand Singh represented first class sides in West Indies. Only three out of 11 players were born in the USA and same is the case with Canada as well. This situation is not very sustainable. Unless they have native players, no one is going to support them either in the US or in Canada.

I think that the wonderful work that the United States of America did in their Cricket team is just that when they will play with Sri Lanka, West Indies, Zimbabwe, and some other small teams so then their real strength and weaknesses will be exposed and this is how they can become the more stronger team for the United States of America and they picked many things from them that how they play, how they bowl, how they field, and taking tips with them which cause of their this type of wonderful victory against other teams.

These small noticeable things can bring to a point where a weak team perception can be changed to a good and high performer team. These things if the Canada team picks then maybe in a few years, we see them as emerging cricketing nations.

In the 2nd ODI match, the United States of America played extremely well meaning we cannot judge that it’s the team that never played World Cup. What a team it is and the way they gave defeat to Canada Cricket Team in this T20 series back to back was such a different way to give them lose and win the match.

I think the reason behind their win is Teamwork because when a player fails to do good then that thing will be done by his partner and in a better way. The United States of America team is such a good team and has no competition in good works, I hope in future this team will be great.

This team from the United States of America is the perfect example of strong teamwork because in this series, we have seen that all the players playing this match are sincere and this thing we can only see in the  United States of America cricket team in this series.

Every single player is doing teamwork and as sincere as they playing with their work of cricket, I don’t think any team can do this type of sincerity at this initial level of cricket. It should not be meant that now you say that India, South Africa, Australia, and Pakistan teams aren't sincere that is why I mentioned that only the team at this stage that the  United States of America team who is very new to the cricketing world.

I think that the United States of America team will also win tomorrow because at the last match, we saw that they played amazing and hope that tomorrow they will play the same but if you see something change in their team as the United States of America is a team that cannot win any single match until 10th June 2023 and the match that they win was tour match on 10th June and from that time until today, they have been lost to Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Ireland, West Indies, Nepal, Netherlands, UAE but now they won after such a long time.

Also, I think that the team of Canada is also very similar to the Netherlands, Ireland, and UAE + the current West Indies team. We may refer to them as emerging teams in International cricket.
Better to check the odds for this match and see whom the bookies favour winning this match.

Tomorrow is the second T20 match between the United States of America and Canada. In the last match, we saw that Canada lost the match to the United States of America in such a bad way. After this, for sure Canadian team will definitely improve in their team and we will see tomorrow.

This match tells that the United States of America is improving more or taken lightly by the Canadian team. Now after losing a match the Canadian team starts to improve their players and try every trick to avoid losing to them in another match and tomorrow win the match against the United States of America's home ground. Let’s see if really the Canada team can come back in the series by a win:

Match was very interesting. I enjoyed very much this match . Namibian International T20 cricket team played excellent for his country. They won the series and they end the series with victory. Namibian International T20 cricket team deserve this title and Gerhard performance is incredible and he was awarded as player of the match .Oman  six players could not enter in double figures and rest of the players could not play big inning for his country.Two batsmans made 10,10 runs and Ilyas made fifty for his country and Khushi made 49 runs in 28 balls.

I was too amazed by Namibia performance. 
Also, I don’t believe this type of performance by the United States of America but they gave such a wonderful performance. It seems like not the United States of America is playing but such a big team play like this. 

United States of America team players made 50 in fewer balls and played such a good type of performance. I think they are ready to play against big teams in the World Cup and according to today’s match, I think this team will do something in this World Cup because yesterday’s performance was such a massive and impressive performance.  Let’s see what they will do in  the World Cup or this team only made for against Canada 

I was very impress with the batting of the Namibia batsmen today.  Their batsmen kept their pace high.  Their batsmen played the match with great interest and gave big targets.  Their batsmen set a huge target of 212 in 20 overs.  And Oman batsmen could not meet this target and will lose the match. Oman team needs to perform well.  If they do not pay attention to it this match will not play well going forward.The Namibia bowler out Oman batsmen in the 18th over and won the match.  Had they accelerated their pace from the start they could have won the match.

Namibia won the series by 3-2. Their score of 212 in the last match gave the team an easy win and with that victory they also won the series. Every player of the Namibia team especially the batsmen has a consistent performance due to which the team performed well in the last match. 5 batsmen batted there but all except Jan Frylinck were able to score decently which allowed them to post 212 runs. On the other hand, there was no consistency in Oman's batting. 2 batsmen managed to score a decent score in the match but everyone else failed.

Series ended and Namibia International T20 cricket team won the match by 62 runs. Namibian International T20 cricket team played very excellent and they gave  a target of 213 runs but Oman International T20 cricket team could not score well and all team out by making 150 runs.Gerhard Erasmus played very well and made excellent 64 runs in just 29 balls and remained not out at the end of match. He also took 2 wickets by facing 22 runs in 4 overs and gave all round performance. Whole team played very well and that's why they are winners.

Today is the final match between Oman and Namibia. It was such a great series which comes to an end today and after today’s match, every team back returned to their homes or home country with the title of the winner of the series.

The fight for the win is from the start of this series and now we will get the result that which team will win this match and which team will make more effort to win this match. In this series, both played very well. At first, Namibia had a lead then Oman picked it up by winning back-to-back two matches but then Namibia also knew what to do here to pick a lead once again and till now, the all victories have been equaled, now the team who will win this match wins the series. This is a battle for winning the series.

History will be written in Al Amarat today. You can check the odds for this match at stake.com
Again Namibia is clearly a winner from bookies point of view as they have lesser odds of 1.60 as compare to the Oman odds of 2.30.

County Championship started yesterday in England, but most of the matches got washed out. The only match that was not impacted was the one between Glamorgan and Middlesex. Glamorgan is in very strong position at the end of day's play, at 370/3. Sam Northeast is batting on 186. Sam will be remembered as one of the guys who performed exceptionally well in county cricket, but never made the cut to the national team. He is already 34 years old, and I don't think that he will get a national team call up before he retire.

Already, the two matches have been won by Oman but still Namibia is inside of the game, they just have to win today’s match then something good can happen for them but at this time, I think there is more chance for Oman to win this series because the all best players of Namibia are not in form.
David Wiese came from injury and he is not playing well. In the last few matches, his performance was very poor and I think today’s situation will also be the same. He is the last hope and if he does not work then I don’t think Namibia can do something significant in today’s match.

The odds for the game also suggest the same to bet on Oman and be on the safer side and surprisingly you will get better odds.
The odds also suggest that Namibia is more favorites to win his one
