ODI CWC 2023 Qualification Tournament

[NYRB]

Scotland 103/2 off 26 overs and you still have 8 overs of Raza on this wearing, slow wicket.

 

[NYRB]

And McMullen has to go

Scotland now 105/3 off 27.1 overs

Williams the surprise packet with 2 wickets.

 

[Plugger35]

Williams doing some damage with his left arm door knobs.

 

[NYRB]

Would it be fair to say McMullen is Scotlands best bat in this form of the game?

Would it be fair to say McMullen is Scotlands best bat in this form of the game?

I'd still say Munsey is.

 

[NYRB]

Berrington departs and another wicket that goes down to spin. Williams is having a day out with the ball.

 

[Plugger35]

Berrington falling victim to Williams as well, Zimbabwe right on top now and the crowd there has come to life.

 

[NYRB]

Brings in Tomas Mackintosh. Probably means Scots have to hold back from going on the attack for another 4-5 overs here.

 

[NYRB]

Williams with figures of 19/3 off 6.0 overs.

Williams and Raza have bowled well as a partnership today.

 

[NYRB]

that one hit a foot mark........could have easily hit the stumps

 

[Plugger35]

Terrible luck for Mackintosh being run out by a deflection off the bowler.

Scotland need Leask to produce something in the last 10 overs along with Munsey if they are going to get a competitive score.

 

[NYRB]

Probably wise to see off Razas last over, then look to attack. Raza has bowled really well today.

 

[NYRB]

Raza finishes his spell with 34/0 off 10 overs.

Even though he didnt pick up a wicket, he bowled well in tandem with Williams.

 

[Plugger35]

A great yorker to bowl Munsey, will be tough for Scotland to get a decent total now.

 

[NYRB]

Ngarava has also bowled well today.

 

[NYRB]

The pressure is getting to Scotland today.

 

[Plugger35]

Another run out and Scotland are 170/7, they need to at least try to bat out the overs here and get past 200.

 

[NYRB]

Think Scotland openers have probably missed a trick today, runs were probably easier to score today with the field up. Not much intent was shown in that opening 15 to 20 overs.

 

[NYRB]

Williams finishes with 41/3 off 10 overs

 

[Plugger35]

Scotland making it past 200 with a few overs to go, if they can get to around 230 they will be in with a chance.

 

[NYRB]

Scotland making it past 200 with a few overs to go, if they can get to around 230 they will be in with a chance.

A very competitive Scotland 234 on this wicket.


Scotland will be buoyed at the change of innings. At one stage it was looking around 220 or so.

 

[Plugger35]

A good last few overs for Scotland to get them up to 234, that total probably won't be enough but it at least gives them a chance.

 

[corbies]

Ngarava having a go at someone elses fielding is very rich.

 

[NYRB]

A good last few overs for Scotland to get them up to 234, that total probably won't be enough but it at least gives them a chance.

On this wicket they are a chance, slightly underpar though, as I reckon Russell Arnold at the beginning of the pitch report reckons it was around a 240-250 wicket.

 

[NYRB]

I genuinely feel Scotlands batting is better than Zimbabwes as well. If you take out Irvine, Williams and Raza they are the key wickets for me.
