Nepal vs Oman
Nepal lost both openers for zero and still they manage to give a target of 310. I am just getting a feeling that Nepal will be new Afghanistan like team. Kushal Malla score 108 runs on just 64 balls along with Sompal Kami who scored 63 runs on 48 balls. In reply Oman batting was not upto the mark. Only two players Nadeem and Sandeep scored runs. Now Nepal is at number one position in his group after winning both of its games.

Nepal team has some good players like Kushal Malla who made 108 runs at strike rate of 164 which is too good in ODI.
Also, their bowlers Karan KC and Sandeep Lamichhane took three wickets each.
If you see the points table for ACC MEN'S PREMIER CUP, you will find that Nepal on top of the table in group A which shows their dominance among all the teams.
Looking forward to see Nepal in world cup and their competition with big teams .
Most of the new teams do not have native players and that is the main reason that they are not able to sustain the performance because only the native players will play in the true spirit of the country while the non-native players' only motive is to earn money by playing cricket for that country.
I do not know much about the origin of the players playing in the Nepal team ?
Are most of them Native players? If so, I can assume that Nepal will become one of the good teams who can give tough time to teams like Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Srilanka.
Nepal is improving alot interms of cricket and there game they are not defeating many opponents .
Looking forward to see Nepal in world cup and their competition with big teams .

The ICC did their best in sabotaging Nepali cricket over the years. If you look at the funding structure, Nepal is receiving only 20% of the amount that they used to receive a decade ago. But now the Cricket Association of Nepal has become more or less self-sufficient. They are generating significant amount of revenues within Nepal and are not overdependent on the ICC. And among the full members, Nepal hasn't received support from anyone except Pakistan. But now the ICC doesn't have any choice other than to increase the funding, since their performance has been exceptional in the recent past.
If any player in the team scores a century the runs of that match will be much higher and that is happened to the Nepal team. Moreover, cricket fans are optimistic about the Nepal team that they will be able to get a good place in the future. Against Oman, Nepal batted at the beginning and gave a target of 310 runs, where the Oman team lost all wickets by scoring only 226 runs. Nepal team won by 84 runs. The team has played two matches in the ACC Mens Premier Cup 2023 and is at the top of the points table after winning two matches. Nepal team has several players who perform very well. Most of us certainly say that Nepal is the best among all the teams in Group A.
The best thing about the century from Kushal Malla is the century coming from him at the right time. The opening failed to score and the middle order hadn't contributed big, and the team is in need of good runs. By the time making a takeoff and scoring 108(64 balls) is really impressive and turned the match. In support Sompal Kami contributed from the tail end. A big win and once again proved they are the best among the teams of ACC Men's Premier Cup 2023.

Nepal was really good in this match. The bowling of Oman was not good at all. I can see, Oman was good in terms of only one thing. Oman actually did not concede too many extras. Other than that Oman was not economical at all.
If they could keep the target anything between 270 I think they had a good chance. We all know that Oman was trying to score quickly and that’s why they lost quick wickets. If the score was less than 270, I think that pressure wouldn’t have been there. Great performance from Nepal in both batting and bowling.

For the Thailand women, the first wicket partnership was very crucial. The first wicket for the Thailand team who has fallen on 101. But on the other hand, Zimbabwe women’s team lost two wickets for only one run... lol
That was the time when they lost control over the match. Thailand was able to have control of the match since then. Zimbabwe was never able to keep up with the run rate. They also lost wickets at regular intervals.

Because of which Nepal has easily scored so many runs in this match. Nepal won by 84 runs. Congratulations for winning the match.

I know the UAE squad lacks experienced players. And they have no long-term plans. Also, most of the players in their squad are expatriates of Indian, Pakistani, or Omani origin. But now the team is improving as it is. I think UAE will think about the future of their cricket. If they move forward with long-term planning, the team will become stronger in the future. They have proved that they have the capability. Now they need a world-class coach. Hope the UAE Board will take Khan Cricket very seriously
LOL.. there are no players of "Omani" origin in the UAE team. The Oman national team itself never had a single player of Omani origin. All of the players in the UAE squad hold citizenship of either India or Pakistan and are residing in the UAE on tourist or work visa. UAE government doesn't care much about cricket, but they are happy that ICC is based in that country and with each passing year they receive an increasing share of the ICC revenues. They have no plans to spread cricket to the natives and it will forever remain as an expat sport. There are probably no players of Omani origin in the UAE team. I say this to understand that the players in the UAE team are mostly foreigners.
But there is no denying that UAE cricket is improving. This group is now quite strong. I think the UAE government will give importance to cricket. Because the government of UAE is giving a lot of importance to the construction sector. And holding various cricket series in UAE will further boost their tourism industry. Because of this, maybe the UAE government will take appropriate steps to improve cricket in the future.
Cricket is a sport that is restricted to South Asia. Popularity outside the South Asian community has been declining continuously over the past few decades. Given this, I am not sure whether Saudi Arabia would be much interested in establishing a cricket league and spending tons of money on it. I know that they are trying really hard to get the hosting rights for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. And they have hosted a few high profile boxing matches recently. The LIV Golf tournament is also getting popular. It needs to be seen how much importance they give to cricket, given the fact that none of the natives are interested in it.
By the end of June India would be officially the most populated country in the world. The 5th most populated country in the world is Pakistan. Considering these two countries are crazy about Cricket and have the highest number of expat community in the middle east Saudi Arab is trying to cash cricket with its own league.
In order to achieve its objective it needs the biggest cricket league brand and the richest cricketing board owning that brand's help. Undoubtedly they have money but zero understanding about cricket and zero muscles in ICC. What they have offered to BCCI will destroy IPL but would make India look good in the middle east.
This is a very tricky situation. I am sure BCCI would come up with something that favours both.
Nothing complex, to my understanding Saudi Arabia needs more people to visit their country. In the past the country was completely connected with traditional activities. Now it want things to be modernised that could make more people visit the country. The country is planning to have different streams of income apart from the oil. Earlier the country used to be more friendly with USA, and now the country want to be independent. So, different steps have been taken. One of which is the cricket league.

Saudi league is very new and comparing them with IPL is really childish and foolish as IPL is the top league in the cricket world and they have reached there in many years with their hard work .
Giving such statement at start is not good as smooth relations are important for running any new league.

But let's talk hypothetically if by any chance they do start the richest league which is competing against IPL. Players are getting multi-million contracts every year, financially it's good for players so I am all for it but sustainability would be an epic challenge if you don't have an audience and we have heard this story so many times. A recent example is the WC media rights auction.
I can see one possibility where BCCI and Saudi Cricket comes together and go with the joint venture but for this to happen bilateral cricket need to die for sure because the schedule is packed. In this case, BCCI could allow Indian players and it's directly related to the Indian market.
Hypothetically everything is possible! In my opinion BCCI should not take them for granted. The Indian government would surely push BCCI to allow Indian players play in that league. Considering the amount of positive gesture the Saud family has done for India in the past.

That is what I said they both will form a joint venture and Indian crickters would play in that League for the first time. Forget about bilateral series those don't generate any revenue for ICC, I would say yes to whatever BCCI wants if BCCI gives me something in return. That is what you can expect, otherwise BCCI has that option of leaving ICC and start its own governance in cricket. I would like that to happen.
This invitation is very big and I don't think BCCI can go against it. After all Jay Shah is the controlling the board. I believe this collaboration might become a huge revenue generator for BCCI.
The BCCI will surely send their players wherever they see a profit. And I am quite sure that if Indian players take part in the Saudi cricket league, they are surely going to be paid a lot of money. But one problem is, BCCI will surely not want to send their players to a league that is saying that they are going to be bigger than IPL. At least that’s what I think. I believe if the BCCI wants their player to have a good amount of money, they are going to send the players. But if they want IPL to be the best, even after the Saudi league, they will not send the players.
