I wouldn’t open with Chisoro vs Gayle. Maybe Raza?

Raza against both Gayle and Lewis seems the obvious move.

Coetzer gone, Ireland on top at the moment. Can't see Scotland chasing this down on this wicket.

Scotland now five down, Boyd Rankin causing problems with his bounce, hopefully Blessing can do the same tomorrow.

This match is Ireland's to lose. I just don't see the Scots winning with their best bat back in the hut, being 5 down and the rate climbing to well over 7. Impossible on this wicket.

That's it gents, one more win and we're in!

Win the toss tomorrow, bat first and we have a great chance!

Yea have a bat and get a score on the board, then let rip our spinners.
This is going to be a great game to watch; another trial by spin

Wow this tournament has been really good. Every game means something. Absolutely every single game. Whether you are fighting to keep ODI status or qualify for the world cup. At the real world cup there are no real consequences for having a bad tournament. You would have already received a huge payment just for being there.

If they do keep the 10 team format for 2023 then I think only the top 5 teams plus the host must get automatic qualification. I'm telling you a team like Sri Lanka could have missed out here. The lower ranked teams should rally and get that done. Only issue I have with the ICC is that they are hypocrites who just serve the interests of the big 3. There will never be a situation where a smaller team like the UAE host the world cup and they keep the 10 team format coz another top team will automatically miss out.

How has the pitch changed so drastically...

Is it the result of watering the pitch yesterday after match?
