Someone please open a match thread for the game vs dutch

[Shehwar]

So the favourites won on day1. Although I must say that Scotland had that in the bag and gave it away!

Just shows how good a total of 170 plus...you can get 100 off the first 10 but 2-3 tight overs means you need 9 an over from the last 7 which is not easy.

Nagpur has a big ground, compared to very small one in Dharamsala.

Afghanistan left out Shapoor and Hamid, their star players, to facilitate their spin dept. It was a calculated risk. In initial overs, they missed the service of the duo and Scots were getting runs. In mid overs, their strategy paid off and they clawed back. It's a very interesting and courageous strategy that paid off. Inzi gets all credits for this.

Where is the match thread guys?

[Roey Haque]

I am just happy to see Bangladesh play. Will watch this match vs Netherlands.

We should not underestimate Netherlands or Ireland, both have many players who play county cricket in UK. And thus they have the experience of playing against and with players from all over the world.

Ireland always has been one of the best fielding sides in the world! No Joke. Only second to the incomparable South Africa. But we have made leaps and bounds in our own fielding as well, which should reduce the gap in this department.

Holland only have 3 who play county cricket,unlike Scotland and Ireland who have a lot more players.

Are you supporting upcoming teams or white teams?

[brockley]

Foremost I am supporting oz as I am Australian.
Like the Dutch and Ireland,have Irish and Scottish heritage.But to be honest Ireland is not very good at T20.
Have soft spot for Bangladesh cause they are underdogs.As far as T20 and Tests go.

[brockley]

Oman to bt Ireland tonight,my prediction.

[aklemalp]

Zeeshan Maqsood just took one of the best reaction catches I've ever witnessed...

Athar Ali khan is going berserk!!!

But ground size doesnt change during a game. SCO were well ahead of the chase and lost. Same with Netherlands, first 10 overs they were right up qi6th us...tight overs won the game for us after 10th over.

[Kohli_Sox]

Good for us if Ireland loses today

[Nadim]

Oam doing pretty well atm. supporting them.

[aklemalp]

Oman, they're restrictng the batsmen to singles and twos...hardly any boundaries

[Habib]

Oman has their own Malinga.

his action is more weird. bowls decent pace too. K O'brian had no clue there

[Kohli_Sox]

Oman's Malinga is on par with the real Malinga

[anon4567]

154 is a very decent total, I hope Oman will choke and fall apart.

Ireland to win by 30 odd runs, my prediction.

His hair style in on par too.

[aklemalp]

Zeeshan Maqsood is batting like Tamim Iqbal

[Nadim]

It's either 4 or dot.

[MohammedShamim]

Come on Oman, take it really close and go for the Win!
