ODI CWC 2023 Qualification Tournament

[big_e]

If I stand to be corrected Oman playing Netherlands in an ODI will be a 1st time these teams have ever played each other.

In ODIs yes, but they did play a 50-over match at the 2005 ICC Trophy, which The Netherlands won by shitloads.

Oman had only been an affiliate member of the ICC for five years at that point, and didn't get to associate status until 2014.

They have also played a bunch of T20Is, including in the 2016 T20 World Cup, and some T20s that didn't have full T20I status.

I apologise because I'll surely jinx this - but gotta give a shout-out to Scott Edwards for his tournament. Scores of 83, 67*, 67 and 67*.

And out for 4...

 

[NYRB]

That was a woeful effort in the field from Oman against the Dutch.

They concede 362 and thats going to take some getting.

 

[NYRB]

The adjusted target for Oman is 364 runs from 48 overs to beat the Dutch

The adjusted target for Oman is 364 runs from 48 overs to beat the Dutch

Added one run. Duckworth Lewis earning their money on that one.

 

[akkaps]

Is it just the conclusion that Oman are unlikely to make the runs? Even though they are on par with the Dutch in runs scored?

 

[NYRB]

Huge game today between Zimbabwe and Scotland

Winner will have be in the Top 2 in the Standings after todays game.

 

[NYRB]

Netherlands passage to make the World Cup relies on Scotland winning today, and them beating the Scots in the remaining fixture.

 

[NYRB]

And in the 7th and 8th placed game

Ireland v Nepal

I think Ireland are the better team . But I dont think anyone really cares about these classification games.

 

[ioppolo]

This is the type of game Zimbabwe loses. Hopefully they don't do what they did four years ago.

 

[NYRB]

​

Zimbabwe (Playing XI): Joylord Gumbie(w), Craig Ervine(c), Innocent Kaia, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, Wessly Madhevere, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Tendai Chatara, Blessing Muzarabani

Scotland (Playing XI): Christopher McBride, Matthew Cross(w), Brandon McMullen, George Munsey, Richie Berrington(c), Tomas Mackintosh, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole

Zimbabwe won toss and elected to field first.

 

[NYRB]

And in the classification game between Ireland and Nepal:

Ireland (Playing XI): Andy McBrine, Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie(c), Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker(w), Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young

Nepal (Playing XI): Kushal Bhurtel, Arjun Saud(w), Gyanendra Malla, Rohit Paudel(c), Bhim Sharki, Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Gulsan Jha, Karan KC, Sandeep Lamichhane, Kishore Mahato

Ireland have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Plugger35]

A slow start for Scotland but at least they haven't lost any wickets.

 

[Plugger35]

Scotland still no wickets down for 52 after 15 overs, lucky not to have lost any wickets though with a dropped catch, a missed run out and close lbw calls

 

[akkaps]

Finally a wicket, Scotland seem to be going slow

 

[NYRB]

Scotland lose their 1st wicket and this wicket looks a tad slow favouring the slower balls and spinners

 

[Plugger35]

Scotland's luck runs out with McBride bowled by Chatara.

 

[NYRB]

that 1st wicket also ball seemed to keep lower than normal.

 

[NYRB]

Almost a 2nd wicket, could have easily been a wicket there.

 

[Plugger35]

McMullen lifting the run rate for Scotland.

 

[NYRB]

Cross struggling a bit here, 29 off 63 balls.

 

[NYRB]

No good scoring at a strike rate at under 50 in an important game like this. Feel like it might be better for Cross to hit out or get out.

 

[NYRB]

And Cross painful innings comes to an end.
