2019 T20 World Cup Qualifiers

Oman make 148/9 in the end. A good win for our lads. Pity we couldn't take that last wicket.

VillaMad

Vital win as if Oman had won, top spot was probably gone.

Now a three way tie at the top. Ireland behind the UAE on NRR, who had a big win today, but they can certainly get top with a few big wins over the minnows in the group. Canada can go joint top with a victory over Nigeria later, but they haven't faced either Ireland, Oman or UAE yet.

UAE - 4pts - NRR 0.805
Ireland - 4pts - NRR 0.532
Oman - 4pts - NRR -0.049

KevIRL

Canada beat Nigeria by 50 runs

KevIRL

Namibia make 159/6 v Scotland

KevIRL

Scotland 2 wickets down early on, including Munsey

KevIRL

Scotland in real bother here v Nambia. 4 wickets down in the 15th over with the required rate over 12

KevIRL

Scotland get beat. They were fortunate yesterday to get through the game v PNG as well

KevIRL

Jersey make 147/9 v UAE in our group

After a solid start UAE are in bad shape now in reply. 83/6 in the 15th over

KevIRL

Win for Jersey. Potentially a great result for us, should we win our last 3 games that is.

Fascinating tournament so far, pretty close groups. Netherlands looking good

KevIRL

Yeah it really shows how on any given day a big upset is possible in t20. The scots are fortunate to be even in with a shout.

Looking ahead further though, they are a potentially dangerous opponent if we don't top the group, really wouldn't fancy ending up playing them in a one off match to qualify

KevIRL

Oman restrict Nigeria to just 75 in 19.5 overs. They could do their net run rate some real good today

KevIRL

Oman get there in exactly 7 overs

KevIRL

Canada win toss and will bat. Huge game this one for Ireland

KevIRL

Canada 64/1 after 9. Early wicket but a solid partnership being built now and run rate increasing

KevIRL

Canada on 83/1 after 11. Bookies now have it 9/10 Ireland and 9/10 Canada

Dhaliwal on 53 not out and the partnership is 70

VillaMad

This is going to be massive score by Canada.

Yep Canada 8/11 favs.

VillaMad

Horrible drop by Adair. A straightforward catch somehow spilled.

Next ball goes for six.

VillaMad

Now finally a wicket. Shot straight to a fielder on the boundary.

Dhaliwal gone for 69. 124-2.

Hopefully Canada try to go too big and end up throwing a few away. Even so, we should be able to chase down anything between 160-170.

VillaMad

Kumar gone now. Canada lose a couple of quick wickets trying the big shots.

132-3 off 16.2 overs.

VillaMad

Another gone. Rankin bowls it on a beautiful length and Tariq can only spoon it up in the air to O'Brien.

133-4 off 16.4.

KevIRL

Ireland 8/11 favs now. Canada 11/10

VillaMad

142-4 off 18. Really good last few overs by Ireland. Can they restrict them to under 160?

VillaMad

153-5. Run out as the off-strike batsmen tried to steal a single.

3 balls left in the innings.

KevIRL

156/5 in the end. No gimme

VillaMad

Only 32 off the final 5 overs when carnage was expected.

The Irish top order are in good form. Let's hope they can keep it up.

Will still be a very competitive chase but a solid effort from Delany and Adair at the end after Rankin's wickets keeping them to 156 when it could have been 170+
