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
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.
In yesterday game, Namibia team won toss and they elected first bowling lineup in pitch and this was the 4 the game of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 series. Nepal team's effort in this series was very poor and they showed worst struggles in some past games. Nepal team set 168 runs in 37.1 overs by losing all wickets. Namibia team improved their efforts day by day and performed good lineups. Namibia team easily chase down this small target and win this game by 2 wickets and 60 balls. B.Scholtz bowler took down 4 wickets in 10 overs with 31 runs and got a player of game award. J.Loftie-Eaton also dismissed 4 wickets in 6.1 overs with 31 runs. G.Erasmus batsman scored 52 runs in 56 balls with eight 4s and two 6s. J.Smit also made 34 runs in 66 balls and won this game.

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.

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.
Here we have to understand Namibia and Canada are completely different level teams because Namibia recently doing impressive job, and they beat teams like Zimbabwe and few other associates which give them good confidence, and now they are improving their quality and also having good consistency which is allowing them to have better spot in white-ball format rankings and Nepal is also doing good, but sadly they are not having enough sources which allow them to have good improvement in quality even they are doing their best but still it is long way to go for them.

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.
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.

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.

Once again, disappointing performance from Nepal. All out for just 168, against a Namibian squad that lacked David Wiese and Ben Shikongo. Their U19 star Jack Brassell continues to impress and picked up the crucial wicket of Dev Khanal. Apart from that, most of the damage was done by Bernard Scholtz and Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, who picked up 4 wickets apiece. Aasif Sheikh was the sole Nepali batsman who offered some resistance. Overall, disappointing performance from the home team and if there is no miracle they are going to lose this match.  

David Wiese is playing for LAHORE QALANDARS in current PSL. This is second time we are seeing such a disappointing batting performance from Nepal side. In the opening game between Nepal and Namibia, Nepal team was all out for just 132 runs and today they are all out for 168 runs. Nepali bowlers have done a good job by picking 6 wickets and may be we see a tight finish. Nepal batters should learn and to lift there game up against strong teams.

I wasn't expecting this performance from the Nepal team I thought they will able to be cross 250 run in this but they even cross only 170run today. Anyway   Namibia team already start their batting for 169 run target and they took 17 run after 4 over done and they also quickly lose two wicket already. I think there is still chance for Nepal to win this match if they can took few more wicket before the 10over. But toady high chance for Namibia to win  required runrate is much lower than current runrate.

A minimum or can we say a decent target in ODI is 250 runs and above. Considering these two teams and the team that is batting second a small target of 169 will not be easy for them to chase. Namibia has already lost 2 wickets after getting 26 runs on the scoreboard. Not a bad start by Nepal as they are getting wicket in small internals. As I said earlier another 10 overs we would know the outcome of this match. It won't take much longer for either of the two win or lose this match.

Does that means Nepal ODI squad is worse than Namibia? I don't think so, they would be able to defend such a low total. Already they have got 1 wicket in the second over and I don't think Namibia has the ability to chase the target. Nepal is a far better team if compared with them. There is a lot game left in this match we need to wait for another 10 overs and we will know the outcome of this match by that time.
