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?
I think Sri Lanka has a chance to win today's match. We know that Sri Lanka is a much stronger team than United Arab Emirates team. But if United Arab Emirates can bat first and perform well in bowling, then today's match with Sri Lanka team is very good.  It will be a tight fight. I think Sri Lanka will play very well in this match and will win the match today.

That's true and I also think that Sri Lanka has advantage over UAE's team, and they could possibly win the match. The current score of Sri Lanka is over 292, and they still have 4 more hours for scoring even higher runs in this match. I don't think that team UAE will be able to cross the score because they don't have many good batsman who could score higher than that. We should also keep in mind that Sri Lankan team has some good bowlers in their team who won't let UAE players to score higher runs. Let's see what will be the result of the match, and currently the odds are in the favor of Sri Lanka team.

The very first match of the World Cup qualifier have surprised the cricket followers. It is expected to be close fight between the two teams, but Zimbabwe have won the match in a much easier way. 290 runs is really good target, but Nepal team bowlers weren't able to have control and break partnership. Ervine and Williams had a good batting session, with their centuries they've made it winning day for Zimbabwe. My next important match is Nepal vs West Indies where we can understand how good Nepal have progressed.
Williams and Ervine delivered an outstanding batting performance for Zimbabwe vs Nepal. Though Nepal scored 290 but 164-run partnership from Williams and Ervine helped their team reach the target so easily and beat Nepal. Despite suffering a loss, Nepal had several positive sides such as 171 first wicket partnership and others. They have good with batting, but they must work on improving their bowling skills. It's important to always stay active for improvement and progress. Anyway, i'm waiting for Nepal's upcoming match against West Indies.
Zimbabwe victory over Nepal was nothing short of remarkable with an impressive performance by Craig Ervine leading the way. His outstanding century of 121 runs not only secured the win but also earned him the well-deserved title of Player of the Match. Partnered with Williams their remarkable 164-run partnership effortlessly propelled Zimbabwe towards their target ultimately triumphing by 8 wickets. While Nepal showcased their strength in batting their bowling skills require further development. Nonetheless they exhibited positive aspects such as a commendable 171-run first-wicket partnership. As we eagerly await Nepal's upcoming match against West Indies, it is crucial for them to remain proactive in their pursuit of improvement and progress
The collection of the Nepal team was good enough but no one found it difficult to understand the deficiency in their bowling. Zimbabwe team is quite experienced team in international cricket. Although they have been trying for a long time, they have not been able to create anything remarkable against any big teams with any big tournament. But in the last few series, they had positivity. It is natural that Nepal will be far behind them in terms of experience. However, the Nepal team has gained a relatively good reputation in cricket in a short period of time.

Sri Lanka and United Arab Emirates will fight in the third match of ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023. The Sri Lankan team is almost certain to win here in terms of experience and performance. But since there is no such thing as 100% certainty in cricket, we have to wait until the game is over.

Sri Lanka is one of the best teams to play cricket at present. It's not that the UAE bowling performance this season has been too good because the run house is quite a bit higher though. Sri Lanka have managed to collect quite a lot of runs thus if they can collect some more runs then they can collect more than 350 runs. Because the batting performance is very good Sri Lanka's four batsmen scored more than half century which is huge income for the team.

 samarawickrama still has time to score a century as there are still plenty of balls in hand. Almost got close to a century if he can stand the pitch well then definitely has a chance to score a century. Sri Lanka will definitely get a win from UAE as Sri Lanka is the best bowling side too.

Despite setting a big target against Zimbabwe yesterday, Nepal could not win in the end. Nepal lost to Zimbabwe by a huge margin of 8 wickets. The target for Zimbabwe was 291 as Zimbabwe had two batsmen score centuries. Two centuries in the same wicket pair in a match of 290 runs and both of those who scored centuries were unbeaten in the end. Zimbabwe got a really great win against Nepal.

West Indies beat USA by 39 runs in another World Cup qualifier yesterday. When West Indies batted first and scored 297 runs and got all out, the USA managed to score 258 runs for seven wickets. Gajanand Singh scored 101(109)* for the USA. Jason Holder was adjudged man of the match in USA vs West Indies match.

Yesterday it was a very disappointing display from Nepal. They were coming in to this match after winning 14 of their last 15 matches. But Zimbabwe had the home advantage, and most importantly all of their regular players were available for this tournament. Nepal bowling is heavily dependent on Sandeep Lamichhane and he failed yesterday. None of the other bowlers had the capability to contain experienced batsmen such as Craig Ervine and Sean Williams. All the effort put in by the Nepalese batsmen earlier (especially Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh) got wasted as a result of poor bowling. Their next match is against the USA. Now it is a must win match for them. 
On the one hand, it is wrong to say home advantage because the way Zimbabwe played a stormy innings in yesterday's match, even if they gave a target of 350 runs, Zimbabwe could have won. On the other hand, Nepal's target of 291 runs in yesterday's match was not too bad, but this target seemed very insignificant to Zimbabwe.
Sandeep Lamichhane scored the most runs in tomorrow's match as Nepal looked very helpless against Zimbabwe yesterday.
Apparently, Zimbabwe have the home ground advantage in Harare.

Zimbabwe team lost two wickets, and those two wickets fell at good score. This had kept Zimbabwe ahead of Nepal, and then both the players stood wicket and continued to score. Centuries coming out of both the batsmen is really impressive and needed one at that time. Zimbabwe would've got more confidence after the big win with two players scoring century. If Zimbabwe were able to continue its performance this way, surely it is one among the team to enter World Cup through the qualifier Cup.

Nepal set a target of 290 runs but Zimbabwe managed to overcome it and Zimbabwe won by 8 wickets it was a very good performance. Only 4 players from Zimbabwe crossed this run target by playing, out of which 2 players Ervine and Williams scored more than 100 runs each.  These two deserve high credit for Zimbabwe's win. Nepal did not play badly, they also kept the target in good runs against Zimbabwe

Personally, I thought Nepal is going to have good confidence going into the second innings. They had a good total on board for sure. But the performance of the Zimbabwe team was beyond exceptional. Winning a match with eight wickets and more than 30 balls in hand is not an easy task when the target is more than 290.

And I expected better performance from the bowling side of Nepal. Craig Ervine and Sean Williams both of them, got their individual milestones of a century. Nepal was also fortunate that Zimbabwe conceded 22 extra runs. Otherwise, the match was going to be over far earlier. I think Nepal actually underestimated the capability of Zimbabwe. If Zimbabwe can keep this type of performance going, I think they might have a chance to qualify for the World Cup.
The way Zimbabwe played, it would have been possible for them to complete the target of more than 300 runs. Because they beat the target of 290 runs in just 44 overs and only 4 players played for Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe's preparation was good while Nepal also tried hard to set a high run target to their opponents Zimbabwe but failed to set a target of more than 300 runs so Nepal lost the match.

The World Cup Qualifiers are going to start from today in Zimbabwe with ten teams. The ten teams are divided into two groups. Sri Lanka, Ireland, Oman, Scotland and United Arab Emirates are in Group 'B'. Group 'A' includes West Indies, Nepal, Netherlands, USA and Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe will face Nepal in the first match today. Nepal is currently having a great time in cricket, they qualified for the Asia Cup Qualifiers a few days back and now their mission is to qualify for the World Cup Qualifiers. In today's match, I want to put Zimbabwe slightly ahead. Because the World Cup qualifiers are being held in Zimbabwe, the conditions will be in favor of Zimbabwe.
First match of CWC qualifier between Nepal and Zimbabwe just started at Harare. Zimbabwe decided to field first after winning the toss. Its a big game for Nepal as they for the first time playing CWC. Nepal are haven't cored any run so far in 2 over that are bowled. I would rate Nepal higher then Zimbabwe since they have done good in there recent matches.
The second match is also in progress between USA and WI, it will be very much in WI favour unless USA do some upet.

Zimbabwe vs Nepal

Things are not looking good for Zimbabwe right now. Nepal is actually performing really well. They have scored 279 at the loss of five wickets. 48 overs have been bowled. It looks like an apple might actually reach 300. This is already a very hard task for Zimbabwe.

I do not think that Zimbabwe will be able to win this match if Nepal does end up reaching 300. Because I trust Nepal to defend 300 with the bowling lineup that they have. But at the same time, it is looking like a good pitch to bat on. So, if Zimbabwe can keep up with the run rate and keep wickets in hand, they might be able to win. but still, it is going to be really hard.

Today's two matches on first day of ODI World Cup qualifiers with first match was play between Zimbabwe vs Nepal and second match was between the USA vs West Indies both matches were one-sided affair with both heavyweights done good job even in second match West Indies were in trouble as they lost two quick wickets, but after this have good recovery through all their experienced middle order which helps them for having decent target on board 297 is surely not easy for the team like the USA, but they have also done good job and half century from the Gajanand Singh which end on 101 not out hopefully things could be better for the both teams in next matches as well.

In second match we have two centuries from Zimbabwean batsmen which helps them for having big win against minor Nepal even they have also done good score 290, but their bowling was not as par require which helps them for having better end of this match.

I get it, Nepal is improving but are they that good with the bat nowadays? Surprised to see them score a big total of 290 against Zimbabwe.

But anyway, this match is done for Nepal and now it's just a formality for Zimbabweans. Sandeep Lamichhane must be very proud of his performance today.  Lips sealed Undecided
There is no doubt this was impressive display of batting from Nepal with having very good start of 171 even Asif Shaikh was slow which hurt them but still this was dream start for them in this event which will give them good confidence for the future with this start and batting I was expecting nearly 325 to 330 but due to some slow batting they were not able to do this.

After having this target 290 their bowling were not as expected which is surely concern for them specially their main bowler Sandeep Lamichane having worst figures in this match 77/0 which also hurt them badly but still I am feeling impressive because most of the players are young and have long way to go which is surely going to be helpful for them in near future.

Not expecting much from Nepal in Asia Cup. Several teams perform in the Asia Cup. Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are each stronger than Nepal. And the important thing is that experience plays a very important role in these series. Players need to be confident. But Nepali players are not very experienced. And so I see little possibility that Nepal will play well this season on a platform like Asia Cup. Also, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are in good form now.
Nepal is a very young team. Their captain (Rohit Paudel) is just 20 years old. Then there are several other players in their early 20s, such as Dipendra Singh Airee, Kushal Bhurtel, Bhim Sharki and Aasif Sheikh. Their star player Sandeep Lamichhane is just 22 years old. And then they have a few players who are still in their teens, such as Gulsan Jha, Kushal Malla and Arjun Saud. Whatever experience they gain from the two tournaments (2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier and the 2023 Asia Cup) will be useful for them in the future.
Nepal will need some experience. Without experience, they are not going to be able to beat the teams which are better than them. But if this team goes forward without having too many changes in the squad for at least three years now, I think they will be a good team in the future. But right now expecting anything from them is not the best expectation to have. They are young and energetic. With proper funding and coaching, they will be able to go a long way.
Nepal loves cricket a lot, and more and more people are getting excited about it. While relatively new to the world cricket, recently got chance to showcase their skills at prestigious events- Asia Cup 2023. However, their opponents both India and Pakistan are known for their high level of cricket. When you arrive at the international stage, even if they are very strong, you should always aim for bigger and better things. There is no limit of any dream, so let's play for the win. This team has the potential to join the top leagues of the ICC, but this will require perfect planning and a focused approach. With proper guidance and support, their cricket can go higher eventually.
There are some countries in cricket who have played for ages but not been able to change their status. However, considering Nepal from that point, they have been able to quickly change their position which is reflected in their performance. There are some batsmen in the Nepal team if they perform good the Nepal become a great opponent against any big team. Kushal Bhurtel, Aasif Sheikh, Gyanendra Malla, Kushal Malla and some other batsmen who are likely to do well.

One of the reasons why the Nepali team is improving so fast is that the people of their country have been very interested in cricket since long. So they found some very talented players. Nepal has several talented players in its squad. However, they still lack experience. I watched Nepal match against Zimbabwe. The performance of Nepal's batsmen was quite good. But their bowlers are not playing well enough. As a result, Zimbabwe reached the target with the loss of just 2 wickets. Hope Nepal can find out its problems very soon. And will be able to quickly build the team stronger.

ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023 1st Match Zimbabwe vs Nepal. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field. After losing the toss and choosing to bat, Nepal collected 290 runs by taking 8 wickets in 50 overs. The two opening batsmen of the Nepalese team have batted brilliantly. Kushal Bhurtel was out for 99 just missing the century by 1 run. Aasif Sheikh was dismissed for 66 runs. Nepal batted very well today. Today's game is expected to be competitive.

Well, the match was not competitive in the end. I was actually surprised to see Zimbabwe win the match so easily. I did not think Zimbabwe would be able to actually get to the target let alone get to the target so easily. Zimbabwe won the match in the end by eight wickets and also having more than 30 balls left.

I do not think that Zimbabwe will be able to win this match if Nepal does end up reaching 300. Because I trust Nepal to defend 300 with the bowling lineup that they have. But at the same time, it is looking like a good pitch to bat on. So, if Zimbabwe can keep up with the run rate and keep wickets in hand, they might be able to win. but still, it is going to be really hard.
Nepal scored a competitive total and for a moment i thought it would be a hard chase for Zimbabwe but once they started their innings those doubts were put to rest and they are cruising to victory as Craig Ervine is still in the crease scoring a century and the partnership between Sean Williams who is on 84 took the match away from Nepal.

As expected West Indies will be winning against USA as they lost their 6th wicket and the target is impossible to reach.

I thought that Nepal should have scored a little more. I think they should have gone to at least 300. But even that wouldn’t have been enough. Zimbabwe was very comfortable getting the win. I don’t think even 350 was going to be enough. This is a very good start from Zimbabwe in this tournament.
