[jashan83]

My picks are

Nigeria
Botswana
Japan

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Japan 146 ao (Giles-Jones 56*, Extras 33; Javed Iqbal 6/25) vs Germany
Botswana 119 ao (Moses 34, Sequeira 31; Kuwaiti wickets spread around)
Norway 149/7 (38.3, Adeel Ibrar 38, Shahid Ahmed 37; Gill 2/20, 7th bowler Ofem 2/5) vs Nigeria

Nor-Ngr the only one looking vaguely close, and even there Norway look intent on suicide.

So here are the participants for Predi-Game currently:

1) Laksh = 2 runs
1) Vimes = 2 runs
1) Juro = 2 runs
1) Jashan = 2 runs

To make it more interesting: The highest run scorer in a single tournament so far:

Jashan & Juro = 24 runs (WCL DIV 3, 2011).

Anymore participants?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Germany 130/1 against the hapless Japan team - openers Fernando 47, Leslie 43*
Kuwait 120/7 (18.4; Hisham Mirza 51*; Omar Ali 3/42, Aslam Chand 3/36) bt Botswana by three wickets
Nigeria 94/1 (19; Onikoyi 40 (32), Gill 37* after a tight bowling spell) vs Norway 166 ao

All going to biiig wins.

All over - Leslie, the German opener, ended on 49* as they made 147/1 in 30.4 overs, while Nigeria lost 4/26 before Phillips (39*) and Adegbola (14*) guided them to third with 168/5 in 38.2 overs.

If you can trust and take these options. I was traveling overnight and just opened the laptop to put these options. I have not seen the way matches are going, not even now. So request you to take my picks

K as the games are still in 1st Innings state, if Juro & Vimes accept I will consider ur votes with -2 runs. So U will start the round with 2 runs instead for 4 which u currently have...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Fair enough by me

Norway drop their captain (!) and promptly make 246/7 against Kuwait, but need wickets to defend this. Nigeria once again bowl very well and wobble in the chase. Botswana boosted their run rate by skittling Japan for 84, though they did take nearly 30 overs to chase that.

 

[laksh_01]

So winners of Day 2:
Kuwait
Botswana
Nigeria

Predi-Game standings after Day 2:
1) Laksh = 12 runs
1) Juro = 12 runs
3) Vimes = 10 runs
4) Jashan = 10 runs (-2)

MOM for day 2: Jashan

Day 3 is rest, my day 4 predictions:
Norway
Germany
Kuwait
