The Indian team arrived in Dhaka following a three-match ODI and test series. On their home turf, Bangladesh is always dangerous. The tournament will be exciting because of this. But Tamim Iqbal will be unable to play in the ODI series due to injury. It's a big blow for Bangladesh. A warm-up game led to the injury for Tamim Iqbal. It will be very difficult to replace him. Due to injuries and personal issues, this man was unavailable for quite a while. This raises questions about his approach and commitment to the country.

Bangladesh needs to infuse young blood in to their squad. For how long they are going to be dependent on Shakib and the other senior players? Tamim Iqbal has 3-4 years of cricket left with him. Shakib has max 2-3 years. Among the younger players, only Litton Kumer Das and Soumya Sarkar have shown any promise. But their bowling is in even more perilous situation. After the retirement of Mashrafe Murtaza, the vacuum has remained unfilled. Mustafizur shows some promise every now and then, but he is inconsistent.
Well said , I think Bangladeshi Cricket Board is lagging behind in this  side, that's why they had a bad exit in the first stage of the T20 World Cup. And now talking about ODI, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim are considered to be the strength of Bangladesh but they are all in the very last stage of career. So I think after their retired, the condition of Bangladesh will gradually become like  the Zimbabwe Cricket Board.
We have seen in the World Cup how the Bangladesh team performs in the absence of senior cricketers. Basically, new good players have not come to the Bangladesh team yet. But sudden retirement of some senior players has brought the Bangladesh team to the bottom. If Bangladesh had not won some earlier matches then they might not have got a place in the T20 World Cup. The seniors will leave but in the meantime new players have to be produced.

I just check ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 table, and it's creating good confusion for the peoples those are having good knowledge of cricket as well because things are not clear with table is having big mess up few teams are already having 36 matches and many are having 20, 26 and 28 which mean these teams needs good time for the completely remaining part how they are doing and what is prospect of this all surely not positive things are happening around ICC which is the most crap sports organization around the world.

Only seven teams are involved in this process and from these someone is going to be in League 1 not clear, but they need to be more attractive for things like these from here they need to do something like Tier system which helps these teams like first tier have 12 teams than second have 8 and then tier 3 also with 8 hopefully with this we will move in better position and teams will do better work as funds also needs to go with this system as well.

I completely agree with you. But the ICC can always give the excuse that their scheduling got messed up as a result of COVID. As we can see from the points table, two of the teams (Oman, United States) have already completed all the matches. On the other hand, Nepal has 16 matches remaining.

But then, the ICC also removed the promotion/relegation criteria several times. Originally, the top team was scheduled to be promoted to the World Cup Super League. But then the ICC scrapped the Super League. Now the only relevance of the World Cup League 2 is that the top 3 teams will get an opportunity to participate in the ODI World Cup qualifier. Other 4 teams need to first play the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off.

Scotland is like the top team in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2, so no one really expected Namibia to win this match. Oman has 44 points now, and Scotland is right behind them with 42. And the catch here is that Oman has completed all their matches, while Scotland still has a total of 7 matches remaining. Namibia has a chance to overtake the United States. US has completed all their matches and they have 35 points, while Namibia is having 32 points with 9 matches to go. Should be easy for them to go to no.3.

I am quite sure that the way Scotland is playing right now, they should easily be able to overtake Oman on the table. USA has finished all of their matches. So they are not overtaking anyone anymore. But I have to say I expected better from Nepal. Nepal does have a lot of matches left. But I really do not know if they will be able to improve their position on the table. And of course, there is no hope for Papua New Guinea. If UAE has a certain drop in their performance and Nepal can somehow improve, I think Nepal has a chance to at least get ahead of UAE on the table.

Afghanistan had a good performance in this match even though they were not able to win. The problem was Afghanistan was not very good in the bowling lineup. Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi did well on the bowling side. But the others did not do very well. I think if Mujeeb did a little better they could have won the match. We all know that Mujeeb is a very important performer for Afghanistan. But in this match, he could not perform and that gave Sri Lanka a lot of breathing space. This was actually very unfortunate for Afghanistan. This was a really good chance for Afghanistan to win this series against Sri Lanka. They just failed to grab that opportunity.
I missed watching the match. Now going through the score it is really good performance from the Afghanistan batters to set such a target. Really unfortunate to loss the match. Sri Lanka that lost its 4th wicket at 164 further developed good partnership and that is were Afghanistan have missed the winning momentum. Anyhow this is really big for Afghanistan and the loss in my view is out of the lacking experience.

The only long-term solution is to construct an adjustable roof over the stadium that can be opened and closed. But I am not sure that the ICC is willing to do that because of the restrictions and the money available to a lot of cricket boards. So honestly, there is no fix to this problem right now.
This is the solution that I proposed too, but I know that it's pointless since the ICC would have constructed them if they wanted to a long time back and money is definitely not an issue here if you ask me.

I cannot think of any other great solution to fully resolve this rain issue in cricket.

The thing is ICC is obviously not willing to give Free money to the cricket boards. And as far as I think, for the ICC it is the responsibility of the cricket boards to create adjustable roofs like that. But none of the cricket boards except for India, Australia, and England have that type of money. If this has to be resolved, it needs to be done by the ICC. But I think we all know very well that the ICC is not planning to do that. Because they care about money more than anything.

Honestly, there is no other solution to the rain situation in cricket that can be found. Because the DLS method is not the most reliable and keeping reserve dates is also not very convenient.

Sri Lanka won this match by 4 wickets.  And the game they played was really convincing. I can remember that Afghanistan lost this match after scoring 313 runs. It was really a pain for me. If I knew that Afghanistan would bowl so badly, I would not have bet on this match.
Afghanistan should have won the match, but they wasted a good opportunity to get a series win against Sri Lanka. From the last two overs, Sri Lanka needed 29 runs. Sri Lanka was in a poor position, but tail-end batsman Dunith Wellalage smashed Gulbadin Naib and Fazalhaq Farooqi for continuous boundaries to give them an unlikely win. Also, it was poor captaincy from Hashmatullah Shahidi, which allowed Naib to bowl the 49th over. Until then, Afghanistan had the upper hand. Naib conceded 15 runs from his over and it tuned out to be the match changer.
This was really one of the best series recently we have and with this now we are having one more exciting team from Asia Afghanistan which is going to challenge big ones on Asian soil because they have good batting and quality spinners which can help them for having good results here even they failed in SENA and most chances they are going to have trouble for the long time until they settle things for this but in this third and last ODI of this series I am feeling stunning with the fightback by Sri Lanka because as home team lost their sixth wicket at the score of 249 I have feeling now we are going to have another big lost for the home side with most chances they will lose by 30 to 35 runs but last pair done amazing job Dunith Wellalage entry was really gift for them, and he turns tables with the help of Charith Asalanka who done 83 on 72 balls really amazing fight and win with need some improvement in captaincy needed for Afghanistan.

In the end, Scotland won the match. Scotland batted very well in the match. Erasmus scored 96 runs in this match alone. It was understood that Scotland will win the match first by watching Scotland's game.  .The runs that Namibia scored and if they could have scored a few more runs, Namibia would have had a chance to win.
Namibia comparatively a new face in cricket, unlike Scotland who are familiar. A similar picture emerged in sports. Namibia batted only 219 runs against Scotland after batting 50 overs. But Scotland will never miss that chance. They managed to score 213 runs in 42 overs after losing 6 wickets. I think it was an easy win for Scotland. If Namibia could have given a minimum target of 280 runs, maybe the match would have been a bit difficult for Scotland.
I wouldn't call Namibia a new team because if you look at the ICC rankings you will see that Scotland have played 27 matches while Namibia has played 23 matches.  But Scotland are ahead in rating points and are therefore two places behind Namibia in the ODI rankings.  One of the reasons for Scotland's victory in today's match is their batting side, as they tried to get runs from almost all players at average. But I will not underestimate Scotland's bowlers either as their performance allowed them to be bowled out Namibia  for 211.
Both Namibia and Scotland did not make much progress in cricket. Namibia got membership in ICC in 1992 while Scotland in 1994 even though they came to cricket so early, both teams are far behind. Whereas Afghanistan got the ICC membership in 2001 but their improvement is visible. It is natural that the country which gives more importance to the cricket will be done well. The more people of a country are encouraged to play cricket, in that country cricket will improve rapidly.

Namibia doesn't make much score but if it will bowl well I am sure Namibia will win. Scotland already given two wickets. This has made a pressure on Scotland.

There is a chance of winning of Scotland too. Because the Required Run Rate is not high it is only 3.66. If Scotland will not give any wicket so there is the chance of winning.
Namibia's start was not good as they lost few early wickets which not allow them to have any better target for this match while they were 45 for 4 there was chance they could be ended at 100 to 125 but thanks to captain inning from Gerhard Erasmus which ended with 96 not out they able to have reasonable score on board 211 for 9 which is surely not good as you are playing against a team like Scotland which are having few good professional players those are involved into English counties and have good experience.

Now after 38 overs they are touching 183 for 5 which mean just 31 runs required in 12 overs with 6 wickets in hand and surely win is going into their favour as their batting is also not good after having some good runs on board by top order.

1st Match Namibia vs Scotland The match between these two teams has started. Scotland won the toss first and decided to bowl. Namibia is batting. They scored 149 runs in 40.2 overs. And Namibia lost 5 wickets. They now have 5 wickets in hand. Looking at the game, it seems that Namibia will not be able to score more than 210 runs in this match. If 210 runs are scored in this match, Scotland will win very easily. Scotland is performing well in bowling.
Namibia scored 211 runs in full 50 overs and Scotland are now starting their batting and they are showing good performance in the beginning but it is not clear how they will play in the end and how the result of the game will be but Scotland's performance looks like they will cross the target of 211 runs.  Will be able to beat namibia .
The runs that Namibia has scored are not the right runs to win. But if Namibia can now bowl well and take the wickets of Scotland's good batting then Namibia will have a chance to win this match. And if Namibia has a bad performance in bowling then they will have no chance to win.  .Scotland now come out to bat they scored 62 runs in 9 overs and lost 1 wicket.Scotland now need 150 runs in 41 overs to win.

Niether Namibia not Scotland will qualify for the world cup. Why are we discussing about this match makes no sense. Both teams will take sometime to become a part of world cup but I do not think many here have interest in their match. I might be wrong but, I think such discussion are irrelevant to this sub pard and such discussion doesn't make any sense at the moment.
