Group B

Zimbabwe 1st Innings

UAE 1st Innings

UAE 2nd Innings (following on)

Zimbabwe won by an innings and 79 runs

Man of the match: Tendai Chatara

Points: ZIM 24 UAE 2

 

[jimmy101]

Zimbabwe needed to bounce back with a win & they managed to met the maximum amounts of points against a struggling UAE. Group B getting spicy.

Netherlands vs Trinidad & Tobago - VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen

Trinidad & Tobago 1st Innings

Netherlands 1st Innings

Trinidad & Tobago 2nd Innings

Netherlands 2nd Innings

Trinidad & Tobago won by 91 runs

Man of the match: Ryan ten Doeschate

Points: T&T 22 NL 6

 

[jimmy101]

Who's going to progress from Group B is any anyone's guess. A Narine-led rout in the fourth innings sees T&T score a dramatic win. ten Doeschate continues to shine & Seelaar finally gets a bowl, whilst Barath shows off some of his best form up top.

 

[cnerd123]

So group A should be Bangladesh 1st, HK/Barbados competing for 2nd, and Jamaica all but out of the running?

We've got to play Bangladesh next. Goddamn.

Group C

Kenya vs Wales - Gymkhana Club Ground, Nairobi

Kenya 1st Innings

Wales 1st Innings

Kenya 2nd Innings

Wales 2nd Innings

Wales won by 9 wickets

Man of the match: James Harris

Points: WAL 24 KEN 5

 

[jimmy101]

Some strong Welsh batting made it difficult extremely for Kenya to stay in the match.

We've got to play Bangladesh next. Goddamn.

Jamaica can still make it if they win big against Barbados & BD beats HK heavily.

Group C

Afghanistan vs Guyana - Ghazi Amanullah International Cricket Stadium, Jalalabad

Guyana 1st Innings

Afghanistan 1st Innings

Guyana 2nd Innings

Afghanistan 2nd Innings

Guyana won by 131 runs

Man of the match: Rashid Khan

Points: GUY 22 AFG 4

 

[jimmy101]

Even with a spinner short Guyana chalk up a hard-earned win under the Afghani sun & keep their campaign alive. Afghanistan now need a solid win next up to be in the running for a finals berth.

Group D

Namibia vs Scotland - Wanderers Cricket Ground, Windhoek

Namibia 1st Innings

Scotland 1st Innings

Namibia 2nd Innings

Scotland 1st Innings

Scotland won by 7 wickets

Man of the match: Kyle Coetzer

Points: SCO 19 NAM 5

 

[jimmy101]

Incredible fightback from the Scots. Coetzer & Watson completely took the game away from the Namibians. Namibia once again falter in the fourth innings & now need results to swing their way to have any chance of making the finals here.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Well that was terrible. Got into a good position only for the bowling attack to go missing once again.

D!re

 

[morgieb]

That's an astonishing chase from the Scots.

Wales proving under-rated as hell. They probably beat Afghanistan if Croft doesn't go down and they easily account for Kenya.

Group D

Combined Islands vs Ireland - Antigua Recreation Ground, St. John's

Combined Islands 1st Innings

Ireland 1st Innings

Combined Islands 2nd Innings

Ireland 2nd Innings

Combined Islands won by 60 runs

Man of the match: Devon Smith

Points: WLI 21 IRE 5

 

[jimmy101]

The Windwards & Leewards prevail in a low scoring dogfight, a win which keeps Group D wide open as well. Amazingly, all 16 teams can still theoretically qualify for the finals. Those who don't of course still get to try their luck in the Plate comp.

 

[_Ed_]

That's better! Shillingford made a real impact off the bench. The AI doesn't seem to rate Tonge's bowling - I might need to beef up our batting instead.

 

[jimmy101]

That Sammy/Fletcher partnership in the 3rd innings was just what the doctor ordered too.

 

[jimmy101]

Time to take a look at the tournament standings. Should any teams end up on the same amounts of points at the end of the group stage, quotient will come into play.
