Today 4 teams of ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier are playing with each other.
Ireland vs Scotland

Ireland is under a lot of pressure because many wickets have already fallen while batting. Ireland are performing very badly as Scotland's bowling is showing great performance which is why two wickets have been bowled out for 0 runs and wicket two is the best in batting. And won't score too many runs which is why I think Scotland will have no trouble winning. Because five wickets fell before 100 runs were completed. And so far Brandon McMullan has taken three wickets in four overs and conceded just six runs, contributing to Scotland's best bowling performance today.

Ireland batted first and scored 286 runs in 50 overs.Ireland could not score many runs.Ireland's 2 strong batsmen were out for 0 runs.Ireland gave the batsmen such a low target to spoil their poor performance.I think Scotland will easily overcome this run and win the match.The game depends on which team wins the game. I don't think Ireland can win today.

WHATTA GAME!
Scotland has registered their first win in the Cricket World Cup qualifier by defeating Ireland with a last ball thriller. But, Scotland was struggling with a score of 152/7 while chasing a target of 287 runs, but very fortunately they managed to turn things around them. Credit goes to sensational partnership between Michael Leask and Watt. Yet another heart break defeats for Ireland.

What a match! Scotland looked to be down when Chris Greaves got out (they were 152/7). But then the amazing partnership between Michael Leask and Mark Watt added 82 runs for the 8th wicket. And then Leask and Safyaan Sharif added another 50 runs for the 9th wicket. The no.11 batsman Chris Sole did his best by managing to give strike to Leask for the final ball. One of the most exciting ODI matches I have ever seen and in the end Scotland managed to scrape through with a last ball boundary. Ireland's chances are almost zero now, to qualify for the Super-6.

Win Scotland
Scotland performed well from the start but got the win at the last minute in a very embarrassing situation. Because the wicket came under a lot of pressure in the last over and Michael Leask did a great performance in the last over and he was the only one behind Scotland's win. So I would say 91 is within reach of the best player and with two runs needed off the last ball he hit a four to take the team to victory. Among the old and experienced players, he has proved to be the only best batsman.

In the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers, Zimbabwe Group A is in good form, they have played two matches and won two matches. Due to winning these two matches, their confidence has increased a lot and they have four points. But meanwhile West Indies should not be left out because West Indies have played only one match and they have won one match. In that case I think West Indies and Zimbabwe can be rivals. Judging by their current playing condition, either Zimbabwe or Either of the West Indies teams could be seeded. If Zimbabwe can play the game with the confidence they played in the two matches, then they can go. Finally, the teams in Group A are quite tough, none less than Ke. Let's see which team from Group A will go to the World Cup qualifiers.

The partnership between George Dockrell and Curtis Campher has rescued Ireland. From a position of 70/5, these two have taken Ireland to 179/5 after 40 overs. Scotland started brilliantly when Brandon McMullen reduced them to 17/3. Mark Watt picked up the 4th wicket to reduce them to 33/4. But the 6th wicket partnership is now worth 109 runs. What surprised me was the fact that the Scottish captain didn't gave another spell to his best bowler (Brandon McMullen) and now it will be impossible for him to complete his complete quota of 10 overs.

Ireland set a huge target of 287 runs. After losing 3 wickets for 17 runs and the fourth wicket for 33 runs, no one would have imagined that Ireland would be able to collect 286 runs. The pairing of Campher and Dockrell was very useful. Campher was dismissed with 120 runs and Dockrell with 69 runs. And after giving a target of 287, Scotland's chances of victory are slim. Because Scotland's team is not very experienced. Ireland's bowlers are considerably better than Scotland's. And in today's match, Ireland will probably pick up an easy win at the expense of Scotland.

Ireland failed to start the innings well. They lost 4 experienced top-order batsmen for just 33 runs. Even then, the Ireland team has managed to make an excellent comeback. Campher and Dockrell batted well. At the end of 47 overs, Ireland collected 250 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. First, the way they were batting, it was tough for them to collect 150 runs. Dockrell was dismissed for 69 runs. And Campher is still unbeaten with 98 runs. Ireland's team will probably be able to give a target of more than 270 runs.

Today 4 teams of ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier are playing with each other.
Ireland vs Scotland
UAE vs Oman
The matches already been started. In the first two teams Scotland won the toss and elected to bowl first. And Ireland is playing now and it made 65 runs in 17 overs and 4 outs.
And between UAE and Oman. Oman take the bowl first and UAE team made 67 runs in 17 runs with 2 wickets lost.

Ireland's batting disaster has happened and Ireland have already lost 5 wickets and collected 78 runs after 20 overs. However, Ireland could not maintain their performance in today's match. Ireland have already lost one match and have not earned any points in the points table.

On the other hand, UAE have already collected 83 runs for the loss of 2 wickets and UAE are trying to get a good collection and if they can give a target above 250 runs, the result of the match can be positive.

I was more optimistic about Nepal from Group A. Because the performance of this team was amazing. But they are not able to perform prominently in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers. They look very weak from their first match especially in the bowling action that is not appreciable. I have no complaints about their batting. Because they were able to give a target of 315 runs against Zimbabwe in the first match. Maybe they could have controlled that match if they could have bowled a bit better in that match. On the other hand in Group-B i expected good performance from Ireland team but they didn't do that.

As things stand, my prediction for Super-6 is this:

Group A: Zimbabwe, West Indies and Nepal/Netherlands
Group B: Sri Lanka, Scotland, Oman

Ireland along with Nepal have been the biggest disappointments so far. Ireland lost their first match against Oman, and in the second match they are 1/2 after 0.4 overs with two of their best batsmen (Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie) back to pavilion. 23-year old Brandon McMullen picked up both the wickets.

The two finalists of the World Cup Qualifier 2023 held in Harare, Zimbabwe will participate in the ICC Men's World Cup 2023. However, among the Group-B (Sri Lanka, Oman, Scotland, Ireland, United Arab Emirates) teams, only Sri Lanka has a high chance of making it to the finals. On the other hand, among the Group-A (Zimbabwe, West Indies, Nepal, Netherlands, United States) teams, there is a possibility of two teams between Zimbabwe and West Indies, but in the event that a team passes the Group-A final, one of the teams from Zimbabwe or West Indies will participate. In this case, Zimbabwe will be more likely to pass the finals if they get the advantage in their venue..

Given the current trend, both West Indies and Zimbabwe are likely to qualify for the Super-6 stage. The only question is regarding the third team from Group A. All the other teams look very weak in that Group - Nepal, United States and Netherlands. The last one ceased to be competent as a result of the absence of their regular players, while the first one has been a big disappointment so far. Group B is not that better either. Sri Lanka is dominating that group, while Ireland has been a big disappointment. Oman and UAE are somewhat competent, thanks to the mercenary players.

Yesterday we saw a professional innings from the Zimbabwe team. This team is a good contender for this upcoming World Cup Qualifiers. Especially in Group A, three teams will show good matches. Meanwhile Zimbabwe team has collected 4 points by winning 2 out of 2 matches. West Indies team is not far behind as they have played one match and win one. Nepal team won 1 out of 2 matches. Observing the above issues, it can be seen that the Zimbabwe team is quite ahead terms of points table.

While it is difficult to predict which team from Group A will make it to the final stage as per the current situation but in case of group B it is easy to predict that Sri Lanka will be the only team who will be qualified.

I was very surprised to see the impressive batting of Zimbabwe against the Netherlands. A huge target of 316 was set by the Netherlands team. It was a big enough target in 50 overs. But Zimbabwe's batting looks like it was an easy target. Zimbabwe collected 319 runs in 40.5 overs. Sikandar Raja and Williams batted brilliantly. Sean Williams scored 91 off 58 balls and Sikandar Raja remained unbeaten on 102 off 54 balls. Raja hit 8 over boundaries in this match. Zimbabwe's batting looks like they would have won the match even if the target was more than 400.

Netherlands is fielding their second string team as most of their regular players are involved in county cricket. And as far as bowling is concerned, it is not even second string, but like third string. Logan van Beek was the only experienced bowler in the XI for yesterday's match. Half of the overs were bowled by inexperienced noobs like Aryan Dutt, Vikramjit Singh, Shariz Ahmad and Saqib Zulfiqar. If someone like Fred Klaassen or Paul van Meekeren was present in the XI, then they would have easily defended their total. But yesterday many of their younger bowlers conceded more than 10 runs per over, as they got butchered by Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams.

Today we have two matches - first one between Zimbabwe and the Netherlands and the second one between Nepal and United States of America. If Zimbabwe manages to win today, then they are almost guaranteed of a spot in Super-6 (they won against Nepal in their first match). This one should not be very tough for the Africans, as the Dutch are missing at least 7-8 of their regular players who are out on county duty. On the other hand, both Nepal and USA have lost their first match and therefore need a win today to keep their chances alive.

Netherlands played good, scoring 300+ runs is really good from any team. Zimbabwe have chased it in a very easy way. Sikandar Raza have played well and scored century as if playing in an T20 match. From the opener Gumbie and Ervine, everyone scored good and this ease the winning of Zimbabwe. Raza contributed in batting as well as in bowling with his four wickets in 10 overs bowled.

In the other match USA played against Nepal. Good scoring from USA, but Nepal with its strong batting line-up reached the target of 207 runs losing 4 wickets. Century have come for USA player Shayan Jahangir, and every qualifier match is revealing some potential players to the world.

Sri Lanka VS UAE
The third match of the World Cup Qualifier Sri Lanka vs UAE starts today. United Arab Emirates is a weak side as Sri Lanka's opponent. I think Sri Lanka will win today's match. Because Sri Lanka's bowling line batting line is better than UAE. Who do you think will win today's match?

As I was expecting Sri Lanka team was looking strong. They gave a handsome target to United Arab Emirates team. Sri Lanka made 355 runs and gave 6 wickets. And United Arab Emirates team made only 180 runs with in 39 overs and got all out. By the way Sri Lanka made 355 runs this really a good target and I was sure that the UAE team will unable to chase this target. Excellent performance by Sri Lankan team.

I don't think it will be a tough task for Sri Lanka to qualify for the World Cup. I have seen the performance of the players in their last few series. There are several talented players in the squad. However, the players are not able to consistently perform well. However, the Sri Lankan players performed brilliantly against Afghanistan. A win against the likes of Oman, Ireland, and UAE is expected to be easy for an experienced team like Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan players will show dominance against Oman in the next match.

UAE did not perform very well in this regard as the bowling of Sri Lanka team performed very well. Although the UAE are a little less strong than Sri Lanka, this huge win is a credit to Sri Lanka in the current season. Although the UAE performed well in the powerplay, they could not score good runs on any wicket later on. If these two batsmen Basil Hammed and Mustafa could have collected a little better runs, the team would have lost but there would not have been a huge run gap. I would say UAE needs a bit more experience because to perform against a strong team definitely requires experience and experienced bowling.

No one expected UAE to play well against a team like Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan team is very experienced. And it's unfortunate for them that despite having such a strong squad, they're playing in a World Cup qualifier. I expected to see Sri Lanka's dominance in this match. The dominance of the Sri Lankan players was visible both in batting and bowling. They played very well in this match and managed to get an easy win. Sri Lanka won the first match by a huge margin of 175 runs.
