ODI CWC 2023 Qualification Tournament

[corbies]

Raza has significant credits in the bank given how many times he's single handedly won matches for Zimbabwe but that shot just seemed a bit brain dead. Zero match awareness when you consider it was Greaves who has been Scotlands best bowler, Burl was going well at the other end and the run rate was well under control.

 

[Plugger35]

The run rate still isn't an issue for Zimbabwe, Scotland will still need to bowl them out to win.

 

[Plugger35]

Sole back on to try and break this partnership which has got Zimbabwe right back into it.

 

[NYRB]

Chris Sole has a bit of pace about him. Fastest ball today 151.5 km/hr

 

[NYRB]

I think its a good idea to bowl Sole now. No point saving him for the back end here. Target will be chased down by then if they expect him to ball the last few overs or so.

Yeah they need to bowl him now, Zimbabwe will chase down this total with over 5 overs to spare at the rate they are scoring if they don't take wickets.

it adds great atmosphere but wonder how many people leave a Zimbabwean cricket match with a headache

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Just when you thought Zimbabwe had the control they lose Madhevere.

Game rests on Burl's bat now, who has just equaled his top ODI score of 59

 

[corbies]

Ive lost it at Pommie Mbangwa's "What a nut! What a nut!" commentary of that wicket. Love Pommie.

 

[Plugger35]

Watt gets Madhevere lbw, a badly needed wicket for Scotland to keep them in it.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Not sure I agree with Sportsbets odds still having Zimbabwe as favourites

Long tail, but they just need to hold up an end, could go either way.

 

[Plugger35]

Burl is definitely the key here, get him out soon and Scotland should win, if they don't get him out Zimbabwe should win.

 

[NYRB]

Zimbabwe need 58 runs to win, Scotland need 3 wickets to win


This is going to be a nailbiter

 

[NYRB]

Ryan Burl has to do a Ben Stokes, and go for the runs himself. Not sure you want to bank on this tail to get the runs.

 

[NYRB]

Thats a poor shot in the context of this game from Ngarava

 

[NYRB]

Its now or never from Burl.

Zimbabwe need 53 runs, Scotland need 2 wickets to win

Burl has to get at least 40 of these runs for Zimbabwe to win.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Burl going to need to do a Stoinis

 

[ioppolo]

So if Scotland win this, does that mean the Netherlands vs Scotland match is a winner goes off to the world cup scenario? Or would Zimbabwe still have them covered.

 

[Plugger35]

Burl has to start hitting out now at 8 wickets down, he is batting with the bunnies who won't last long.

 

[NYRB]

So if Scotland win this, does that mean the Netherlands vs Scotland match is a winner goes off to the world cup scenario? Or would Zimbabwe still have them covered.

pretty sure Zimbabwes net run rate wouldnt be good enough to go through if they lose this game. Think there could be a mathematical scenario where Zimbabwe make it if they lose this though but highly, highly unlikely to make the World Cup.

 

[NYRB]

Ryan Burl had his heart in his mouth, could have landed to the fielder out there.

 

[NYRB]

does Ryan Burl believe?

 

[NYRB]

Burl goes bang for 6 off Leask!

 

[Plugger35]

Burl going big now.
