Top 2 team will Qualify for Play off to join in Zimbabwe for Wc Qualifiers from June 18-July 9 ( 34 games i guess)

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Bugger. I thought the top 4 teams from Div 2 qualified for the qualifiers. I hope Frylinck and Smit are available for Namibia, otherwise I can see them crashing out here.

EDIT: Squad announced on 23rd March and the latest news back in January was that Smit was out for 6 months. Eeesh.

Weise being available would also be really nice tbh.

Weise being available would also be really nice tbh.

I have names of Atleast 3 teams at my work pc

 

[G. S. Kohli]

I can count on UAE & Namibia for Playoff 2 teams

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

No Frylinck, Wiese or Smit for Namibia. Makes them outsiders IMO.

Shaun Fouche
Niko Davin
Michael van Lingen
Gerhard Erasmus
Nicol Loftie-Eaton
Michau Du Preez
Zane Green
Pikky ya France
Bernard Scholtz
Ruben Trumpelmann
Ben Shikongo
Joshuan Julius
Mauritius Ngupita
Karl Birkenstock

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

No Tangeni Lungameni either, I just noticed. The bowling will depend on Trumpelmann and Scholtz. Eeesh.

Namibia allrounder will help compensate for the loss of David Willey | ESPN.in

Could be possible all other 3 Somewhere whom you looking for -- G. s. kohli.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Yep - Frylinck, Smit and Lungameni are all injured. Weise is prioritising KKR over potentially making it to the World Cup, I guess. A shame - with those key injuries, Weise would make a huge difference. I really don't know where 20 of Namibia's overs are coming from in that squad - a lot of part timers or inexperience will be making up the numbers.

ICC scrap Super League Right after 2023 world cup in india. Things not easy for Namibia & all minor teams in the future. Next World cup will be 14 teams (2027)i will talk more about this soon.ICC announced SA & Zimbabwe qualify directly ( host of next wc 2027)besides top 8 teams so many minor team have to have fight for Remains of 4 spots.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Qualification. South Africa and Zimbabwe (co-hosts) and the next eight top teams in the ICC ODI rankings will qualify directly for 2027 Cricket World Cup, while the remaining 4 spots will be decided by the 2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Namibia have won toss & have to Bowls vs USA

 

[G. S. Kohli]

USA innings Wobble vs Ben Shikongo

He took wickets of vetern Taylor & M. Patel both Prolific Run scorer for USA atleast Domestic cricket.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

60/3*
Modani big wicket

Can they play 35 more overs?

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Namibian Innings even worst than USA.

Namibia 2/2 chasing 232 to win after USA's last 3 added 81 runs 231/9

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Sigh. USA got away against the 4th and 5th bowlers as expected. This really is going to be a let down - too many injuries and not enough depth. Always the bane of any associate team, and not making it as Nepal were able to select Lamichhane.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Nisarg patel outstanding bowler. USA deserved win.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

2 game today at same time but no game tomorrow on march 28th.
