ICC Emerging Nations Trophy (Sim League X)

[jimmy101]

Oh man. Such hard luck for Kenya, only two runs way from securing a spot in the finals. To rub salt in the wound they also finish below Guyana in their group. Really hope they can produce great things in the plate. Afghanistan deserved the win though in what has to be the match of the tournament so far.

would have been a classic in real life.
This group was very tight.
I am certainly being carried by a handful of players

Stunning return of the league here.

Sad for Guyana but happy to not have to travel so far for the quarters

And Ireland get the result they needed, though they still need to keep an eye out for the result of the final group match.

The was a lot of talk about Group A being the group of death (and with good reason), but I always thought Group C was gonna be fascinating to watch unfold. Think a few people underestimated Wales.

Quite remarkably Namibia close of the group stage with their first win in the comp, cruelly denying the Combined Islands a finals spot. The Combined Islands attained the maximum amount of first innings points available & were set to knock off Ireland for second spot, but Namibia just kept coming at them. Namibia though still finish bottom of their group.

i guess the perspective ICC is made from makes the Yurp sides stronger than they are.

Tournament Standings

Shades of the 2019 World Cup Qualifier with Afghanistan just sneaking through. Scotland manages to take out Group D by virtue of their superior quotient.

Praise be upon Namibi

Oman vs Kenya - Al Amerat Cricket Stadium, Muscat

USA vs Namibia - Central Broward Stadium, Lauderhill

Time for the plate qualifiers. I invite SCC, HB, Andruid & GAS to post their sides for these matches. I will be in control of the opposition teams, but am happy for anyone out there to take control of one of these teams if they fancy it.
