Netherlands have won the match against Scotland in style. De Leede's awesome innings scoring 123 runs from 92 balls made it happen. Netherlands have qualified for the 2023 World Cup. Netherlands lost its fifth wicket at 163 runs, the partnership between de Leede and Zulfiqar is just excellent and it is 100+ runs in less than 12 overs. Big disappointment for Scotland as it was like a winning moment for Scotland at some point. That was a real fight as Netherlands, Scotland and Zimbabwe have the same point and Netherlands gets qualified on Net runrate.

IMO, Scotland deserved to qualify, but then they got whatever shit that was warranted after bowling like schoolboys in the last 7-8 overs. Captaincy was extremely poor and Richie Berrington persisted with spinners (Mark Watt) despite Bas de Leede hitting him all over the park. And their best bowler was called in only when Netherlands needed just 2 runs to win. Chris Sole ended up bowling just 7 overs. This is retarded shit from the Scotland captain. He is the main reason why Scotland failed to qualify for the world cup. I just hope that Scotland will find someone who is in his right mental balance as the captain.

BTW, I was watching the match live in Hotstar. Peak viewership in Indian market was 92K, which is not bad for a match between two associate nations.

Myself was one among the 92k, and it was really bad captaincy. As Netherlands need to win within the 44 overs, Berrington should've brought Sole, Sharif or Leask as they need few more overs to be driven forward. If that had happened even the win could've happened with a net runrate down to Scotland. Complete mistake from the Scotland team, that they never took it big. They were more confident and de Leede made use of it. Even in the bowling side his contribution in today's match is really big to win the player of the match.

The reason Scotland lost was the fall of wickets in the power play which put the team under a lot of pressure. But even though Brandon of Scotland scored a century, the unique player could not score too many runs. Scotland's bowling Leask did very well with 42 runs and two wickets falling in just 8 overs which gave the team a huge advantage. But other bowling they only advanced Netherlands' run average, Scotland's bowling could not put pressure on Netherlands team. But on the other hand, if you compare the bowling of Scotland with the bowling of the Netherlands, the bowling of the Netherlands has definitely proved to be very strong. But the batting performance of Netherlands is very good enough to take the team to victory.

IMO, Scotland was the better team by a good distance. They lost only because of poor captaincy. First of all, they should have easily made 300 batting first. However in the last 6 overs they could make only 43 runs, at 7 runs per over. Tomas Mackintosh was scoring quick runs, but he got no support from the other end. If they had made another 20-25 runs (which they should have done), then Netherlands would have never qualified for the world cup. And while bowling, the retarded Richie Berrington refused to give a second spell to Chris Sole. If you make these sort of retarded decisions, then you don't deserve to qualify for the world cup.

Today's odi match between United States vs United Arab Emirates has started. United Arab Emirates came to the field to bat first and scored 308 runs in 50 overs. United Arab Emirates has to do. Now United Arab Emirates come to bat. They scored 10 runs in 2 overs. United Arab Emirates has not lost any wicket so far. But I am worried about who will win the match between the two teams today. It seems that United Arab Emirates is better in the bowling line. Can perform and win the match.

UAE gave a good run target to United States but on the other hand United States are also playing well but they lost one wicket in short time which is a negative point for them but United States can get close to UAE's target and if they play well they can beat their given target. The match is going to be tight fighting

United States vs United Arab Emirates The match between the two teams is very intense. United States is trying hard to win this match. It seems that United Arab Emirates has some hope of winning this match if they can keep their wickets. United Arab Emirates started batting first. Bowling has started very well. Which batsman of United Arab Emirates team has batted very well today. Bowling has started very well.

While scrolling through the news feed, I suddenly came across the news of Tamim Iqbal's retirement. I clicked on that news with interest and there I was sure about Tamim Iqbal's sudden retirement. Before this too, just before the T20 World Cup he suddenly said that he will not play T20 anymore and the ODI World Cup ahead and before that the Asia Cup and just before that he made another decision that he will not play the ODI World Cup. My question here is why he makes such announcement every time in front of the big tournament? If he has a bad feeling about something or doesn't have a good understanding with someone then he can tell the BCB president about it but why would he suddenly take such a decision. Maybe BCB had planned to make him the captain ahead of the World Cup and Asia Cup tournaments but his decision right before the tournament will undoubtedly have a bad impact on BCB's plans due to which BCB will have to re-plan.

BCB president himself talks unnecessarily to the media. This is one of the reasons why Tamim Iqbal announced his retirement today. Coach Hathuru asked Tamim if he was fit for the match or not. I will check my fitness by playing a game Tamim said. Then Hathuru had a call with BCB President and said Tamim said he will check his fitness by playing a game. BCB President raged and was angry at Tamim and said he should not do that. Either fit or unfit. He cannot check his fitness by playing a match. After a lousy performance in yesterday's game, Tamim retired from International cricket.

However, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina invited Tamim Iqbal for dinner today. Prime Minister may request Tamim to reverse his decision.

UAE openers have scored good runs, Aryansh Sharma 57 runs and Asif Khan 151* runs is exceptional. The team have performed well and able to score 300+ runs. USA have started good and they need 162 runs in 19 overs with 7 wickets in hand. The required runrate goes above 8 rpo. USA need to start scoring better at the earliest to keep its winning hope alive.

In the other match between Netherlands and Scotland we can't come to a conclusion on the winner of the match. Both the teams were in similar position. For Scotland McMullen have scored a century. Netherlands have lost consecutive wickets, but they hadn't let the scoring go down. Netherlands requires another 85 runs in 84 balls with Bas de Leede (63* runs) and Saqib Zulfiqar (12* runs) on the crease.

UAE set United States a target of 308 runs which is a good target for ODIs. I expected a lot about Bangladesh yesterday but Bangladesh played very badly which was not expected. And Afghanistan won the match by DLS Method .

Scotland has been able to provide a target of 278 runs. Despite losing several wickets in the beginning, the team managed to collect 277 runs. I think this is a very good collection for them. Netherlands bowler Bas de Leede bowled brilliantly today. He took 5 wickets with 52 runs in 10 overs. , however, a target of 278 runs is enough to win if Scotland's bowlers are able to bowl well. The performance of Scotland's bowlers has been good in the last two matches. So it is expected that they will perform well today as well.

The target of 278 given by Scotland is not at all low but Scotland has 80% chance of winning today's match. If Scotland win today's match they will qualify but even if they lose they will still have a chance to qualify due to net run rate. Because Netherlands have no chance because if Netherlands could beat Scotland by a huge margin in today's match they would have little chance. No such situation arose and Scotland scored 277 today which will not be easy for the Netherlands to muster.

Today it is a do or die battle for the two teams - Scotland and Netherlands. If Scotland wins the match, they will gain a slot for the ODI World Cup (to be held in India later this year). If Netherlands win the match, it will come down to the run rate. Scotland can still qualify if they lose to Netherlands by less than 31 runs, or with less than 6 overs to spare. Personally I want Scotland to win, as they have been exceptional so far in this tournament. Players like Chris Sole and Michael Leask have performed well beyond expectations.

Looks like this match will be very competitive. Scotland have won their last two matches against West Indies and Zimbabwe. On the other hand, the Netherlands players have performed well in the last few matches. The Netherlands is playing very well in today's match. The Netherlands won the toss and decided to field. Scotland collected 80 runs in 19 overs, losing 3 wickets. Scotland will not be able to beat the Netherlands if they give a target of less than 250 on such a pitch. But I think Scotland will be able to continue their winning streak.

Scotland lost the first three wickets very quickly. They lost three wickets for just 64 runs. But with the responsible batting of Brandon McMullan and Barrington, the team is slowly moving towards big collections. At the end of 35 overs, they managed to collect 179 runs. McMullan remained unbeaten with 94 runs and Brenrington 39 runs. If these two batsmen can stay at the crease for 42-43 overs, then Scotland will at least give a target of more than 280 today. And if the target is more than 250, Scotland's chances of victory will increase.

Tamim Iqbal, the captain of Bangladesh ODI team suddenly retired from international cricket. Tamim Iqbal gave a lot to the Bangladesh team. Tamim Iqbal was the leading run scorer of Bangladesh. He scored 15205 runs in 389 matches. It was a shameful retirement. He had a lot to give to the Bangladesh cricket team. It is now to be seen how much impact he will have on the Bangladesh team. Because there are many big tournaments ahead. In my opinion,Tamim Iqbal should have finished the World Cup and then retired. The Bangladesh team will miss the best opening batsman in this country very badly. Now BCB has made many worries about this retirement. It will have a bad effect on Bangladesh's World Cup plans.

Whatever might be the scenario it is really bad to score 169/9 against Afghanistan team. Also it is the home ground, which means the home team should be good enough to play any condition in the ground. Bangladesh team have completely failed, atleast they could've scored 200+ runs. Towhid Hridoy stood wicket and scored at the right time, if not the match would've gone even worse. Rain had favoured Afghanistan, but the Afghanistan team is really good with their performance. More two matches left, which could still be a series winning opportunity for Bangladesh. Afghanistan lacks experience, but this time they performed really well without getting into hard hitting plans.

There was common view about Bangladesh they are good in white-ball format but after watching their performance in first ODI against Afghanistan now things looking not good because all batting line-up completely fail to give any positive sign and bundled out of the score of 169 which is surely not good just Towhid Hridoy who was playing his seventh ODI done some resistance and bring his team at the score of 169 otherwise things were looking they will not reach to three figures as full strength bowling attack from Afghanistan was dominating the match. In Afghan inning, we have rain interruption which keeps things more problematic for the home-side, and they lost this match by 17 runs due to DLS method.

Bangladesh played yesterday's ODI match very badly. And they made a total of just 169 runs and gave Afghanistan a target of such a score. However, due to rain in the middle of the game, Afghanistan won the match on DLS method. It would have been difficult for Afghanistan to win the match had the DLS Method Day match not ended. Afghanistan could have won the match if not for the DLS method but it would have been very difficult for them. this is not the first time for Bangladesh as they have been seen losing easy matches many times before

Scotland deserve that place. Because it has tried well and performed really well. And I hope so the Scotland will get that position and we will see the Scotland team in the ODI Cricket World Cup.
And Srilanka has the Fix Spot in the ODI Cricket World Cup. Because it is on the top in its group and in the super six too with 8 points. And its run rate also good 1.817 in Super Six.

Sri Lanka has already qualified. They have won all of their matches so far, and the final one against West Indies is remaining. Irrespective of the outcome from the Scotland vs Netherlands match, they will proceed to the final. On 9th July, the final will be played between Sri Lanka and the second team that qualifies. And in case Sri Lanka wins that match, they will face Pakistan on 6th October. The second team that qualifies will play their first match against South Africa on 7th October. The ICC will be terribly disappointed. Despite trying their best to exclude associate nations from the main tournament, one of them have qualified somehow.

How do you handle a team like Bangladesh finishing their first innings with just 163 runs in 43 overs? Seven overs were shortened due to rain but I don't think just 163 in 43 overs is a good score against a team like Afghanistan. Many people are optimistic about the current team of Bangladesh in the upcoming World Cup. But if Bangladesh becomes such a failure in batting in such a preparatory match before the World Cup, then the trust that people have built in this team will be broken.
The batsmen of Bangladesh could not stand in front of the whirlwind of Rashid Khan and Mujibur Rahman. In a short time, Afghanistan will go into bat to chase the target of 164 runs given by Bangladesh. Afghanistan will win this match by a big margin.

Bangladesh have faced Afghanistan in an ODI match after almost a long time. But today, Bangladesh came after seeing a very bad performance on the first day. Bangladesh lost 4 wickets before completing 104 runs, this kind of game is not enough for an ODI match, but such a bad performance in their own home ground is never expected from Bangladesh. Especially Tawhid Hridoy collected 51 runs which is the highest run score by Bangladesh players. In a unique match, Nazmul Hasan Shanto and many others performed very well, but all of them had to leave the field in a short run while facing Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Afghanistan is showing a very good performance as the first opening batsman fell 1 wicket for 55 runs. If the bowling performance of Bangladesh can improve a little bit, Afghanistan will definitely be able to arrest the victory.

Afghanistan bowlers put up a great performance and restricted Bangladesh just only 169 runs. Hridoy was the only shining star for Bangladesh, as no batters were able to make any impact with their bats. Bad news is rain interrupted the match and DLS target for Afghanistan set at 164 runs. Before the rain performing, Afghan batters on fire with their bats. It looks like an easy win for Afghanistan. I feel disappointed with the Bangladeshi bowlers, as they failed to make any significant role in this match. Bangladesh's performance in the first ODI turn out extremely poor.

The score was not big and the same time rain shows danger signal for the Bangladesh team both of the sides doesn't favor Bangladesh team even though Bangladesh is more stronger team in ODI cricket than Afganistan. Lost the first match in the 3-match ODI series Afghanistan team won by 17 runs on DLS method. Bangladeshi batsmen could not show their ability to Afghanistan bowlers except Towhid Hridoy. Afghanistan's Fazalhaq Farooqi contributed the most in this match along with Rashid Khan who also fell some important wickets.

The biggest thing for Afghanistan is that they put Bangladesh under a lot of pressure right from the start against Bangladesh. Apart from bowling economically against Bangladesh, the Afghan bowlers picked up wickets at regular intervals. The pressure of scoring runs and keeping the wicket was becoming very difficult for Bangladesh due to which the Bangladeshi batsmen played several wrong shots and the Bangladeshi batsmen got out by playing every wrong shot of the few wrong shots that Bangladesh played. If a batsman could have been in good company with Tawhid Hriday then Bangladesh's runs could have been more but even if Tawhid Hriday kept one end of the wicket, no batsman could be permanent at the other end. If the Bangladeshi bowlers could have bowled a little more economically towards the end and kept Afghanistan behind by 18 runs, the result of this match would have been in favor of Bangladesh.

Today's match will be a very interesting one for Scotland as they have already achieved the required number of NRRs to qualify. Even if they lose with Netherlands today, Netherlands NRR will be behind if compare. As a result, there is no possibility for the Netherlands to qualify. However, cricket experts have a slight possibility that if Netherlands can beat Scotland by a huge margin, then the Netherlands will have a chance if the NRR goes ahead. But in terms of strength and balance as a team, Netherlands and Scotland are almost equal in strength, so in this case it may not be possible for Netherlands to beat Scotland with a huge margin.
