ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2023-27 Nepal team is not in good form. Nepal team has won only one match so far. Where United States is in the 2nd position in this tournament according to the points table. In today's match, Nepal managed to set a big target of 285 runs by batting 50 overs. Chasing this score will not be too difficult for the United States team.

Almost everyone who was in the top order in the Nepal team managed to bat well. The captain of the team managed to score the highest. Rohit Paudel gave a big innings of 96 runs. If the United States is able to hold their wickets from the start and score well then this match will be competitive and the United States will be able to win. But since cricket is an uncertain game, the outcome of the game can change anytime.

Too many mistakes from team USA today, missed catches and poor fielding. There were some strategic mistakes from Nepal too but the score they made 286 is still a good one. Nepali Captain Rohit Poudel had impressive performance towards the end of the inning making 96 from 75 balls. The two batsmen Anil Sah and A sheikh boosted the Nepali score by half century each.
Though the pitch favours batsmen, it would be difficult for US to chase the target of 287. The bowling of Nepal has always been better than batting and the ruthless fielding won't give them much chance to run. Nepali players also seem to be more patient at close contest and hold their nerves. Only way US could win is to play big shots to score 2 boundaries every over.

I think they are playing on the batting friendly pitch so there will good chances for the United States of America even then Nepal took 262 run after 47.4 and they loose 7 wicket. Nepal could touch 300 run if they didn't last two wicket in the pas 5 overs. Anyway I am expecting the target will ganna be around 280 and I also thinking about this match the United States of America  team will win because they have more good batsmen in their squad.

New Zealand's top order batsmen batted well today. The two openers were off to a great start. However, New Zealand's batting was slow. But still the team managed to collect big as New Zealand did not lose quick wickets in today's match. Suzie Bates scored 58 runs and Georgia Plimmer scored 41 runs. New Zealand women's team managed to collect 87 runs from the first wicket pair. Captain Sophie Devine's innings of 79 runs from 86 balls and Maddy Green's innings of 42 runs from 41 balls were also very necessary.

Although the Indian bowlers managed to take 9 wickets in this match, the bowling of the Indian bowlers was not that good. At the end of 45 overs, New Zealand's collection was 217 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. New Zealand lost 5 wickets in the last 5 overs.

Indian bowlers as well as batsmen batting was not good in this match. Captain Devine and Lea Tahuhu took 3 wickets each in this match.

I think in the next match Nepal team will play well against USA international ODI team . USA team no experience but in the comparison, Nepal International team has great experience and all players have great experience to play against top class players. I like Nepal team batters and I think they are favorite for today match . No doubt,any team can win the match but that team will win which will perform well in this match.Nepal team have to continue their struggle and they should take Wickets early if they want to apply pressure on USA international team. Nepal  ODI team has good confidence which we did not see in USA team.

The New Zealand women's team was defeated in the first match due to their poor batting. In the first match, the Indian women's team could not provide a big target. India set a target of 228 runs. Winning this target would not have been too difficult if New Zealand's top order batsmen could have batted with some responsibility. But the performance of the New Zealand batsmen was very poor. So the team lost by 59 runs.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat in today's match. And the batsmen also batted very carefully. Due to this, the New Zealand women's team was able to set a descent target of 260 runs. And New Zealand won today's match very easily.

For me this decision will prove to be very good as their batsmen have given a good target of 259 in 50 overs.  The way India Women are batting, I don't think they will win this match.  His start was not so good as he lost his first wicket in the first over.  Due to which he has suffered a lot, so far he has played 13 overs in which he has scored 65 runs for the loss of 4 wickets.  New Zealand Women's batsmen lost only 1 wicket in 15 overs.  If India Women performance continues like this, they will lose this match soon.  New Zealand women are playing very well and stopping the runs in all their efforts to win the match and will definitely win this match by wickets.India Women has won the first match and New Zealand Women can win the second match and the third match will determine who will win the series.  I have high hopes for New Zealand Women as they are determined to play well.

Today is the 38th match of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 2023/24 between the United States of America and Nepal. The United States of America having good chance for this game as they are leading the table from the second number, Canada is in the first place by having 16 points, but the United States of America have 12 points while Nepal has the second last position. They have three points in this league and today I am pretty sure they will further decrease their run rate while the United States of America will gain points. Bet on the United States of America as they are ready to win.

New Zealand women's team players will try their best to win today's match. Because after winning the World Cup, the defeat against the Indian women's team was not taken well by the fans of New Zealand. The New Zealand women's team faced a lot of criticism. And that's normal. Because the New Zealand women's team performed very badly in the first match. The target was not big. Still, New Zealand lost by 59 runs.

The captain of New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat in today's match. And New Zealand batsmen are playing very carefully. Slowly New Zealand is moving towards big collection. At the end of 42 overs, New Zealand lost only 4 wickets and managed to collect 195 runs.

Sophie Devine remains unbeaten with 62 runs. If Sophie Devine stays at the crease, it will be an easy task for New Zealand to collect 250+. India captain used 5 of his bowlers. But no bowler is able to perform that much well.

In the Sri Lanka and West Indies series, I clearly understood the weakness of the West Indies team and I think they forgot to learn from their mistakes. There are many differences between the old West Indies team and the current West Indies team. We always know that West Indies batting unit is as strong as bowling unit is weak. Most of their achievements are due to the contribution of the batters. They have talented bowlers in their country but the West Indies are the worst in the scheme of things. Even in the 3rd ODI you can't give credit to the bowlers, the two batsmen who won the match were Evan Lewis and Rutherford. If you watch the matches very well in this series of West Indies with Sri Lanka, you will see one thing, most of the wickets taken by the bowlers in this series were not of the length of the bowls, neither in front nor behind. If you calculate meter it is about 3 meter-4 meter range.

Both types of bowlers, spinners and pace bowlers, have been successful in this length. In this case, all the incoming balls were challenging for the batsmen to play. The Sri Lankan team bowled with such a plan in the rest of the matches except the last match, but in the third match they were not seen to bowl much at such a length. But the West Indies team seems not to know about this length management, I am curious to know if West Indies have a video analyst at all? Or was he on vacation? His team's batsmen were getting out at the same length and their bowlers could not bowl at this length!

I think Algeri Joseph leaves his brain open when he goes to the bowling end. His length management of the ball was very poor, he bowled most of the balls to the short ball or close to the bat. West Indies spinners were similar, they just couldn't find the right length. I think the reason for West Indies' loss against Sri Lanka is the length management of their bowlers and video analysts.

New Zealand Women's team won the toss and elected to bat today. New Zealand batsmen are batting very slowly today despite not losing wickets very quickly. Since New Zealand could not collect big in the first match. Perhaps this is the reason why the batsmen of the New Zealand women's team are batting very carefully in today's match.

At the end of 30 overs, the New Zealand women's team managed to collect 137 runs, losing 3 wickets. Scored an average of 4.56 runs per over. If New Zealand Women's batsmen bat like this, New Zealand Women's team can collect a run around 250. It would certainly be a good target. But New Zealand's batsmen have to try to stay at the crease. In the first match, we saw very erratic batting by the New Zealand women's batsmen. Hope New Zealand will be able to bat better in today's match.

In the next few days, the series between Pakistan and Australia will start and so far the captain was not decided from the Pakistan team, that who will lead the team.

Many people including me are thinking that Muhammad Rizwan will appointed as the captain because if we look on Shaheen Shah Afridi then he has not that good performance and at the same time, he is dropping from the team and after him Shadab Khan can be the captain but his performance is not like that as it should but in the recent PSL. He has performed well and also when he the captain then his team won the title Islamabad United. Secondly, in the last One day domestic event in Pkaistan, Shadab Khan performed well on that too and also leading the team who has won the title. Muhammad Rizwan and Shadab Khan are infront of eyes.

The West Indies team has won the current match by performing poorly in the past matches, they have performed well in this old match.  The most important part of this performance and victory was Kevin Lewis who scored 102 runs off 61 balls which was the most important score for this match.  The Sri Lankan team was not alert in this match due to which their runs were very low from the start.  The match later turned into a much tougher, more challenging one for the Sri Lankan team but the Sri Lankan team could not survive.  Coming to the last match, the Sri Lankan team lost the previous two matches and won the match 2-1.

New Zealand players performed very poorly in the first match against India women's team. Perhaps New Zealand lost the match by a huge margin of 59 runs. A few days ago, the New Zealand women's team became the T20 World Cup champions. So we didn't expect the New Zealand women's team to perform so badly against India in this series.

However, New Zealand women's batsmen are batting very well in today's match. However, New Zealand is batting a bit slow. But they are able to bat responsibly. Suzie Bates remained unbeaten on 53 runs. And Georgia Plimmer was dismissed for 41 runs. The two openers managed to get off to a great start. New Zealand have a big chance of winning if they can set a target of 220+.

So far so good for the New Zealand team. They haven't loss a wicket yet but their run rate is on the low side, just a little under 5 runs per over. Considering this is a ODI match, they will have plenty of time to recover the run rate if they have wicket in hands. Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer have made a partnership of 67 runs and still unbeaten. In the last match the openers failed, but this time they are looking in good form.
Indian Women team have tried 5 bowlers till now with their main striker Saima Thakor bowling four overs but unable to get any wicket. The more bigger this partnership becomes, it will create more problems for the India team.

Yes, I'm also hoping that New Zealand women strongly comeback in second ODI game against Indian women and level the series. in second ODI match New Zealand women won the toss and decided to bat first that a good decisions because New Zealand women not comfortable while chasing down target in last match they all out under 170 runs. New Zealand women current score is 35 runs without loss of any wickets in just 8 over of the match. its a positive start from the New Zealand women openior Georgia Plimmer and Suzie Bates. New Zealand eomen openior Georgia Plimmer is playing at 12 runs and Suzie Bates is playing at 24 runs. This partnership is very important for New Zealand women if they scored 250 plus runs competible total on board against Indian women.

IND Women vs NZ Women, 2nd ODI

India is leading the one-day series and today is the second one-day game that will start after 30 to 40 minutes, in which once again I assume that India wins this title as they won the last game with a good margin and run rate as well.

Deepti Sharma who was the player of the match based on her wonderful performance as she made valuable runs for the team and also picked a single wicket. India women won it by 59 runs but what do you think about today's game, who will take the win and far away, will New Zealand win this game ?

I am going with New Zealand and got 3.4 odds. If you choose India, the odds will be way less.

West Indies are a better team when it comes to 20 overs cricket and this went to their advantage when the match was reduced to 23 overs only. With DLS method they had to chase a little less then 200, it was not easy target but still they have the target in mind plus the weather and pitch conditions helped them achieve this target and end the series on a winning note. If i am not wrong, it was due to Evin Lewis century that WI managed to pull this match otherwise 196 wasn't a small target.

Another interesting thing i noticed was that this series started with a T20 matches and the first T20 match was won by West Indies, then they lost next two T20 matches and also lost the first two ODI matches. However they won the final ODI match, so they won the first match of the tour and the last one too 

Sri Lanka played well but weather seems to favor the West Indies who are very good at 20 over format. The West Indies played aggressively treating the 22 overs like T20 match which could give them an advantage. The important things to watch now are how the weather changes and how Sri Lanka adjusts their strategy to counter West Indies momentum. I will say that well played West Indies. That was not easy to make fast runs which they made. They made 196 runs in 22 overs which is really a good score by the way. And Congratulations to West Indies team. Now the series is end at 2-1.

Who knows that the future weather will be in this match because I saw that the openers partnership Nissanka and Fernando is 81 run from 103 they wasted their 22 bowl only I don't think it is that's much and even then these wasted bowl have you seen the second partnership? The second partnership was 57 run from only 26 bowl which is extremely good I think Sirlankan team tried their best but the weather is favor in the West Indies.
And we know how good West indies in 20 format and they played these 22overs like a t20 match today.
