Going to have to get a few more than that though - 269-6 with four overs left.

And a battling last-wicket stand by Canada might just have given them enough to defend.

If not enough to defend, at least enough for UAE to not do major damage with NRR.

Will be so annoying if Kenya and Canada let Afganistan down.

 

[stumpski]

Afghanistan looking set for a handy total atm - especially if Shinwari (22 off 10 balls) can stay to the end.

Edit: he finished with 22 off 11.

 

[alvarez]

At the halfway mark you'd have to say Afghanistan, Namibia, Ireland and UAE are on top.

Thats looking like it is precisely what is going too happen.

Quality jinx

As long as Ireland win, it shouldn't matter.

And now Mangal gone too - Afghanistan in danger of being bowled out all too quickly

Namibia 305 all out with a ball remaining.

Afghanistan so good.

Be such a shame if they miss out of ODI status.

Canada with their ex-pat side!

Kenya will have to do something novel and that is bat well to win but good to see Waters in.

As opposed to the UAE side they are playing? Grassroots cricket is a lot stronger in Canada - I believe cricket is presently the fastest growing sport in the nation.

222 all out the dutch...

never never never enough...aah well Canada is in shambles too, that helps

Both as 'bad' as each other.

Funny that all 4 teams got bowled out.

Decent total. Just a shame the Dutch don't have a slow bowler of any note.

 

[Kweek]

Seelaar not worth mentioning?

 

[TT Boy]

Seelaar not worth mentioning?

Yeah but I think the Dutch rely on Schiferli and Bukhari. They are the key and they are not set up as a spin side. Though, the kid has good some impressive stats.

Aga in the XI for Sussex, Ten Doeschate also set to feature for Essex.
