Netherlands vs Namibia match will start within short time at TU Cricket Ground (Stadium in Kirtipur, Nepal). This will be the 5th odi match of ICC CWC League 2. In 3rd ODI between Namibia vs Netherlands, team NED had won by 7 wickets against Namibia. Although Nepal is strong team but Namibia have defeated Nepal 2 times where Nepal defeated Netherland once already. But anyhow Namibia lost a match against Netherlands. I think this time Namibia should win as they are good enough to win as well as they proved their ability in recent Matches. So this match is going to be interesting.

I can't agree with you. Nepal cricket team is much stronger than Namibia as they proved by qualifying for the 2023 ODI World Cup. In this tournament Nepal is unfortunately losing to Namibia as their batting and bowling are not consistent due to which they are playing badly in every match. The two cricket teams you mentioned are very strong and experienced cricket teams in the game of cricket. Any team playing against these two teams hesitates and thinks twice.
AFAIK both Nepal and Namibia were not able to play ODI world cup but good thing is both are playing T20 world cup this year. Namibia is more experienced team as compared to Nepal. In this tournament both teams have played 2 games against each other and Nepal lost not because of there bowling but because of there batting. You can't blame your bowlers when you bat first and score 132 or 168 runs. If you see bowling of Nepal then they did good job in both matches by picking 6 and 8 wickets.

So much focus on the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, and everyone is ignoring ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League Play-off. We had three matches completed so far, with Italy winning against Bermuda in the first match. Marcus Campopiano (a recent addition to the Italian squad) top-scored for Italy, and scored 101, while Anthony Mosca scored 95. Nicholas Maiolo and Wayne Madsen also made decent contributions. And while bowling, Stefano di Bartolomeo dealt the initial blows, and remainder was cleaned up by Rakibul Hasan and Fida Hussain.

When Namibia and Nepal play against each other, the match is very tight as both teams are almost equally strong. And in yesterday's match these two teams played very well. Their run rate was almost equal but Nepal lost wickets quickly and had to close the match. None of these two teams are any kind of potential team in the game of cricket, like Australia, south Africa etc. So they played well yesterday but if they play against any good team then they lose very badly.

Nepal bowlers did superb job despite poor performance from there batting lineup. The result of the game will be different if Nepal has scored 200 runs batting first. Despite such a low target from Nepal there bowlers did there best to win the game and took 8 wickets of Namibia. Kushal Bhurtel took 3 wickets from Nepal side while Bernard Scholtz and Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton got 4 wickets each from Namibia side.
Nepal team bowlers tried well but their batting team did not bat well due to which Nepal lost this match by two wickets to Namibia. Namibia have won two out of three matches so far, both of which were against Nepal. Namibia lost only one match and that was against the Netherlands. I know that many teams have won in ODI cricket even with 150 plus runs, but to win with 150 plus runs, the bowling has to play a major role. Nepal team bowled somewhat well in that match but they could not give their full bowling performance for which they eventually lost by 2 wickets. February 22, 2024, 09:37:34 AM
Nepal vs Namibia Match will start soon. Everything looks so confusing. Cause Namibia already defeated nepal. And nepal defeated Netherland. Netherland defeated Namibia recently and now its going to match between nepal vs Namibia. I think nepal could win the match. Cause they played good enough again Netherland and defeated them with 9wickts. And Netherlands won by 7 wickets against Namibia
Namibia won the toss first and invited Nepal to bat. Nepal's opener Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh started well but Kushal Bhurtel did not score much. He was dismissed for 18 runs in just 16 balls. After Kushal Bhurtel's dismissal two batsmen were dismissed for 0 runs. Nepal team was under a lot of pressure. Aasif Sheikh scored the highest runs for Nepal. Player. Aasif Sheikh was dismissed for 58 off 64 balls. Nepal team was all out for 168 runs. In today's match, Namibia bowlers bowled very well especially Nicole Loftie-Eaton and Bernard Scholtz bowled very well and took important four wickets each for Nepal. Namibia did not have much trouble in winning the target of 169 runs given by Nepal. Namibia won by 2 wickets Congratulations to the Namibian team.

Congratulations to Namibia excellent performance in this game and winning it by just 2 runs. Namibia team chased the traget 172/8 in just 40th over of the match. The bowlers perform impressive Bernard Scholtz from Namibia took four wickets 4/31 and bowled out in just 37.1 over of the match. Neoal very disappointed performance in both batting and bowling department. February 21, 2024, 10:17:07 PM

In nepal vs Namibia match, NAM won by 2 wickets and repeat the same history as the way they won with nepal in 1st match. this time Namibia finished the match excellently. Nepal bat first and 168 runs with 10 wickets where Aasif Sheikh scored half century. Bhim Sharki and Kushal Malla also did good score. Bernard Scholtz from Nepal, hunted 4wickets. Namibia came for batting, wickets start falling so quickly as if they were going to lost but Gerhard Erasmus did half century and due to effort of JJ Smit, Namibia won the match
It seems like Namibia showed great resilience and determination in their match against Nepal coming back from a difficult position to secure a victory. It's always exciting to see teams fight back and perform well under pressure. Nepal is a good team and has played with Netherlands and many other teams and showes a great performance. But here both teams put up a good fight, but ultimately Namibia efforts paid off. Congratulations to them on their win.

I think Namibia made a smart choice by making Nepal bat first after winning the toss. This decision worked out well for them. By making Nepal bat first Namibia put pressure on Nepal to score runs. Bernard Scholtz took early wickets which helped Namibia position in the match and made it tough for Nepal. Scholtz played really well and got the Man of the Match award. This shows that smart decisions and great individual performances can make a big difference in cricket matches.
A few days ago we saw a very good performance of Nepalese players in the series against Canada. But right now the team is not playing well. Especially we are seeing the deterioration of the performance of their batsmen.Nepal have lost two out of three matches in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Despite winning against the Netherlands, the team lost both matches against Namibia. In today's match, the Nepalese players have given a target of only 169 runs. Given more than 200 targets, the match would have been competitive. However, despite the small target, victory was not easy for Namibia. The players of Namibia collected 172 runs after losing 8 wickets. Captain Gerhard Erasmus played an excellent innings of 52 runs today.
In this game, after having 168 in just 37.1 overs I was feeling they will be lost by big margin but their bowlers done good job and have few quick wickets which bring Namibia under pressure, but JJ Smit helps his team for having important win in this league now after playing three games they won 2 and having top spot in league 2 for some time.

Absolutely agree with you and I already explained many time that Nepal should work on thier batting to fill-up thier gaps it's true that they have decent bowling lineup but due to lack of quality batters most of the time they runied thier entire dedicated and hardwork of thier bowler because in order to survive or win the match you have to make sure your both side more equal and balanced because it will make a strong hold of yours on your opponent and his mistake will cost him a quick dismissal.Anyway in modern cricket world 160 to 180 target is not enough to defend in ODI because here at that format batters has much time to reduce mounting pressure took time hold thier wickets and as a result due to partnership they achieve thier goals without any trouble. Even now we have seen most of the time 200+ target in T20 and Thier opponent chased it down already so to survive in such format you have to work on weak zone and deliver handsome results for your team

Nepal's batsmen could not perform well but the bowlers performed well. Nepal were all out for 168 runs, 168 runs not enough to win in the ODI format. Despite such a low target, the Nepalese bowlers bowled well and took the game to 40 overs, in the end Namibia won by just 2 wickets. In today's match, the batting line of both the teams was very bad. But the bowling line of both the teams was very good. I think if Nepal can target 200+ they would have won.

Namibia team managed to defeat Nepal in another match. Namibia won the toss today but they strategically sent Nepal to bat first.Maybe they had an aim that they preferred to play with the target for which Namibia invited Nepal to bat first. The Nepal team looked good in the first few overs but then suddenly lost their rhythm which resulted in them losing three wickets in 40 runs. Bernard Scholtz took the first three wickets of the Nepal team and left Nepal in a miserable situation.He was awarded Man of the Match for his outstanding contribution.

Nepal have lost two out of three matches in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Despite winning against the Netherlands, the team lost both matches against Namibia.

Captain Gerhard Erasmus played an excellent innings of 52 runs today.
All of Netherlands, Namibia and Nepal playing current set of League 2 games are approximately at the same level and as we've seen for the all of the 4 matches already played, the team batting first have won all of it. So the toss is playing a greater role than the team game.
Nepal beat Netherlands with a good margin of 9 wickets and 35 overs when they batted second. Neatherlands on the other hand bet Namibia without mercy when they batted second and yet Nepal lost to Namibia when they were batting second. So, the pitch is predictable and it's hard to determine which of these three teams are better at the moment. The league would go on for months and we'd have much time, different playing conditions to determine the team qualifying for world cup.
