If Netherlands bowling performance is good, the game will definitely be competitive. Netherlands' target of 316 runs seems small to Zimbabwe. Because Zimbabwe's run rate is much higher than Netherlands, but if Zimbabwe can collect runs then they can win. Craig Ervine has already scored a half century. Especially the batting performance of Zimbabwe is very good so Netherlands should definitely stop Zimbabwe with only bowling experience. Zimbabwe have already collected 81 runs for one wicket which has created a pressure-filled match for the team at the moment.
The fall of a wicket puts the Zimbabwe team under a lot of pressure.
Zimbabwe team is fighting brilliantly. They are batting exceptionally well. The team has managed to score 225 runs for only 3 wickets so far. They need just 91 runs to win. The Zimbabwe team's victory here is now only a matter of time. Because the required run rate is below 5 per over. Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza are known by many to be devastating players. I think both of them will finish the game. Sean Williams has scored 89 runs at the moment so he is very likely to add a century. But if the target was higher, a century could have been expected from Sikandar Raja.
What a thrilling match it was! Zimbabwe chased down a challenging target of 316 with 55 balls left. It's good to say that Zimbabwe is a cricketing powerhouse for the associate nations. With such a poor bowling line-up, Netherlands could not put threat any team i guess. It's really great feeling to witness these Zimbabweans rising above all the difficulties they faced over the years and now deliver us some quality cricket. Congrats Sikandar Raja, played a masterclass all-rounder innings and scored a brilliant century. Well done, Zimbabwe!

Netherlands though are very cautious in terms of wickets at the moment but are not able to collect a very good run. However, if the wicket is under control, there is definitely a possibility of scoring good runs.Opening batsman Vikramjit singh, if he can stay on the field patiently, then there is a possibility of scoring a century. In this case Zimbabwe is showing good bowling performance but batting and bowling line is stronger than Netherlands. Because of Zimbabwe's reputation in the past, Sikandar Raja picked up two wickets and conceded 33 runs in seven overs. And if the Netherlands can hold on to the end, there is certainly a chance of over 300 runs.

It has been interesting to watch the current match between Zimbabwe and the Netherlands. While being conservative with their wickets the Netherlands team has not scored many runs. Vikramjit singh the opening batsman has the chance to hit a century if he plays patiently. Sikandar Raja two wickets and 33runs allowed are indicative of Zimbabwe reputation. Despite this there is a chance that the Netherlands could score over 300 run if they can hang on. The Netherlands has scored 237 runs in its current 40.4 overs. They still have a chance to make 300+ with smart hitting. Cricket fans are anxiously awaiting the last parts of the inning in this thrilling match.
A competitive match is on going between Zimbabwe and Netherlands. Batting first, a long partnership between the two top-order players from Netherlands helped enough to bring the match to a good position. Vikramjit Singh scored 88 runs and Max O'Dowd scored 59 runs and the captain Scott Edwards he also scoring 83 and just for 17 runs he failed to get century. Until we see some overs of the second innings, it is not possible to predict who will be ahead because both teams are strong enough at this moment.
Zimbabwe played very well today. Netherlands batted first and set a target of 319 runs. Zimbabwe overcame this run easily and won. The runs that Netherlands scored today were not the right runs to win. And if they could have scored a few more runs, the match would have been a tough fight. Zimbabwe  Victory was achieved by scoring 319 runs in 40.5 overs. The game was very beautiful. The Netherlands team had some weakness in the ball.

In today's match of Zimbabwe vs Netherlands, Zimbabwe won the toss and decided to bowl. Now Netherlands came to bat. They scored 234 runs in 40 overs. Now Netherlands have lost 3 wickets. Netherlands is performing well in batting.If they can play like this then Netherlands can collect good runs today. Zimbabwe is not doing very well in bowling. That's why Netherlands is batting so well. Vikramjit Singh got out with 88 runs from 111 balls.

There are some unbelieve matches being held in this world cup qualifiers. Netherlands  scored 315 runs and for a moment i thought that i will lose my bet today as i placed the bet on  Zimbabwe. Right now it seems that Zimbabwe will win this match quite easily but they way Netherlands batted, we could not say that they were a weak team.

Vikramjit Singh 88, the captain Scott Edwards 83 runs, What else do you expect from these newbies in cricket? I wished all these teams were in the world cup and could have given tough competitions to unpredictable teams like Pakistan in particular.

Netherlands has done great batting today. They managed to score 315 runs in 50 overs. 315 runs is the highest run in an innings in ODI cricket for the Netherlands. Zimbabwe need 316 runs to win. Zimbabwe got off to a good start chasing a target of 316 runs. Because they managed to score 72 runs without a wicket before the end of 12 overs. Zimbabwe can win this match if they score 224 more runs. It will be very difficult for Netherlands to win this match if they don't keep wickets falling quickly. A break through is badly needed for the Netherlands at the moment. Picking up quick wickets is not an option to win this match.

I stand with Palestine.
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. 
These two matches already been started. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bowl first and now Netherlands team is playing and made 61 runs in 10 overs. Run rate is going well now. Can't predict now. Let see.

If we talk about second match. Nepal won the toss and elected to the bowl first. And United States of America is playing  and the performance is really bad USA gave 4 wickets to Nepal with in 10 overs and made only 19 runs. Here Nepal is looking more strong and 90% chances that the Nepal will win the match.

Zimbabwe beat Nepal by a huge margin of 8 wickets in their first match and today is the second match for Zimbabwe if they win today they will be the group champions and qualify for the next round. The chances of Zimbabwe winning today against Netherlands are very high. Because Zimbabwe has shown great skill in batting and bowling in the last match. Nepal will face USA in another match of the day. USA and Nepal have played one match each before but they have played one match and lost 1 match. They have no choice but to win today's match to secure the next round. I want Nepal ahead in today's match against USA.

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.

Oman won this match and i would say it was an upset as Ireland is a much better team and I never heard of Oman cricket team before.  The way they chase 281 runs was remarkable.  
On the basis of merit a team like Oman defeating Ireland is a huge upset, not sure about the odds that were available but after checking the results Ireland failed to pick wicket to put pressure on Oman and they chased the total without much sweat.

Sri Lanka on the other hand is toying with their opponents and they will be the 9th team that gets included in the World Cup, the entire competition is for the last spot and West Indies should book that spot to save face.

This was bound to happen sooner or later. Teams like Oman, USA and UAE are packed with former first class players from India and Pakistan. These guys have decades of experience in playing against some of the best in the word. Ireland and the associate teams don't have this luxury and simply can't compete against them. Cricket is moving towards a complete domination by South Asia. Either it is going to be the 5 South Asian nations, or teams that are comprised of South Asians such as Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

After impressive batting display by all top order batting line-up, Hasaranga bowled career best bowling spell and give his team thumbing first win of this event which is surely expected because of their experience and quality even mostly are youngsters but doing good job for the future.

All batsmen from top order have their best in this match, and we have four fifties and blitzing inning from Charith Asalanka who smashed 48 on 23 balls which helps Sri Lanka for having target of 355 which was never been easy to chase for the team like the UAE but Hasaranga give them no space and have 6 for 24 which is his career best in ODI and big win for his team of 175 runs.

Absolutely right. It was one of the best performances I have seen recently from Sri Lanka. But I think it does not matter to some extent because it was against the UAE. They will have to prove themselves against bigger and better opponents in the World Cup.

I know that they certainly deserve credit for their performance. But I don’t know if we should be praising them as much as we are for this type of dominating performance against a team like the UAE. Sri Lanka have started well in this tournament. Let’s see if they can continue performing like this in future matches as well.

Already we know that few teams will be having advantage in the qualifier. One is to the Asian countries that have played in similar weather conditions. Next thing with the qualifier, few teams are already termed strong and they getting qualified is not a big thing. Sri Lanka and West Indies were World Cup winners, so they'll surely enter the world cup. These wins were part of the journey.

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?

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.
Sri Lanka is a good team but not a very good team but they have managed to collect huge runs against a weak team like UAE. losing a match by 175 runs in a match like ODI is a sign of too weakness. UAE lose most of their matches so losing today's match against Sri Lanka is not new for them. today's match was a boring match because ending the match with such a long run gap cannot be considered as a good match.
Sri Lanka is very clear at their position. They doesn't want to miss the world cup for any reason. This is why they're performing the best out of them without considering whether the team is big or small. UAE is not a very big contender to give tough fight against Sri Lanka. Against teams like Oman, Nepal, Zimbabwe, Netherlands and similar teams we can expect fight back.

Oman is chasing the target in a very comfortable and confident way. For Ireland it is Dockrell's 91* runs helped the team reach good score of 281 runs. For Oman starting from the opener there is good contribution. Oman requires another 22 runs from 30 balls with 5 wickets in hand. Three players have contributed with half centuries. The World Cup qualifier matches were really interesting as teams are performing really well and beyond the expectation.
Oman won this match and i would say it was an upset as Ireland is a much better team and I never heard of Oman cricket team before.  The way they chase 281 runs was remarkable. In the Ireland innings I thought that George Dockrell played a match winning innings of 91 runs but not to be.
Oman batsmen collectively played a much composed innings and each of their batsmen scored around 50+ runs and made sure that they reach the target.

I absolutely agree. I also think that this is actually an upset. I never thought Ireland was going to lose against Oman. When I saw Ireland, giving a target of 282 to Oman I thought it is over for Oman because they are not going to reach that total at all. But I was wrong. It was a great performance from Oman to actually win the match. An unbelievable chase from them.

If we look at the scorecard, we will see that Ireland did have a feel better individual score, but on the other hand, almost all of the batsmen from Oman contributed to the win that they got. In the end, they reached the target quite comfortably. Congratulations to them for this very important win. I thought if Ireland was able to perform well in this qualifier, probably they will be able to attract the eyes of the ICC and they will probably get more serious about Ireland in the future. But things have started pretty badly for Ireland.
