Finish in the top 2 from our group and then join the top 8 teams to make up the super 12 . Split into group stages before the semi final and final. Door is open but it will still be tough.

Bangladesh are currently 6th ranked team in World. But they were outside top 8 when draw was made in December 2018.

Mikey1874 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Part of the problem with the rankings is some countries don't actually play many T20 International matches. They have done well though to include the 'other' teams. Scotland already played a tournament to qualify for this stage. Previously they were excluded and once the main tournament starts there will be people saying it should be restricted to the 'top' teams. Unless the smaller teams win of course.

I am glad Scotland are in group B and not group A😊 Afghanistan has been playing at a good standard in one day and T20 cricket for a few years now. They have arguably the best bowler in world cricket in Rashid Khan, and also have Nabi and Rahman in the top rankings for all rounders and bowlers.

Footballfirst Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Scotland will be hoping that Oman can beat Bangladesh in the second round of games. That way Scotland can qualify by beating PNG. Otherwise it could be two wins apiece and down to net run rates if Bangladesh beat Oman, Scotland beat PNG in the second games then Oman beat Scotland and Bangladesh beat PNG in the final games. Oman's current NRR advantage came from a quick victory over PNG. Scotland needs to match that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was first team Captain of Weirs CC now Langside who play in the Premier Division of the Western Union. Prior to retiring, I was the only white player in the team, but can assure you that the 10 players of Asian origin in the team were far more Glaswegian than I'll ever be and absolutely see themselves as Scottish.

Malinga the Swinga Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 About 20 or so short due to desire to smack every shot out if ground for 6, when sensible batting would have seen scoreboard tick over easily.

Footballfirst Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Scenario is that the winners of Oman v Scotland will go through. Oman has a better NRR than Scotland so will be ahead of us should they win.

willie wallace Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Irish bowler Curtis Campher becomes the first player to take 4 wickets in 4 balls in T20 world cup as Ireland thrashed the Netherlands. He is also the only the 3rd man to do it anytime in T20 matches. Strangely enough the other 2 to do it have already been mentioned on this thread😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Hope Sri Lanka get win and then Namibia beat Ireland on Friday. Would be great I FC Scotland got through and the Irish got knocked out. Their cricket team is going backwards and rely so much on their older guys. Think they are special but Scotland have had their mark recently. Sri Lanka a pale shadow of what they were a few years back.
