[cricketmad09]

Will be interesting. For some reason I have a soft spot for Ireland. Maybe because I believe they have the most potential to become a competitive nation in the future.

Talking a good 10-15 years here, but nevertheless.

 

[andrew_nixon]

The Kenya v Bermuda match has been brought forward a day, and Kenya started the tournament with a thrashing of Bermuda.

Result

Bermuda innings: 133 all out (Minors 52)
Kenya innings: 137/0 (Ouma 57 not out, D Obuya 74 not out)

Kenya win by 10 wickets

 

[icyman]

It seems as if Kenya would be in the Twenty20 2007 WC in South Africa.

 

[PhilD123]

Kenya win as expected, some sides like Canda and Bermuda are really going to struggle in the World Cup.

16 games into 9 days of cricket, you wouldn't expect the test-playing nations to have to play every 2 or 3 days.

 

[kodos]

That's about as one sided as one could be. Kenya will more than likely qualify to the 2020 WC and I guess Scotland will be the other team.

 

[aussie1st]

Kenya rightfully favourites here, can't wait to see how Ireland go as they maybe able to give Kenya a run as Scotland have lost to Kenya twice already.

 

[icyman]

I'm betting on Kenya and Netherlands to make it to the Finals.
Netherlands,being experienced should pull off a win or two given that the other sides are not in great touch.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Kenya should finish winners. But after that last ball win today, Scotland may have some suprises in store...

Today's Results

Ireland v Scotland

Ireland innings: 280/7 (Bray 116)
Scotland innings: 284/7 (Haq 52, McCallum 100)

Scotland win by 3 wickets (from the last ball!)

Canada v Netherlands

Canada innings: 200 all out (Bagai 75, ten Doeschate 4/31)
Netherlands innings: 201/2 (Zuiderent 76 not out)

Netherlands win by 8 wickets

 

[kodos]

Certainly was a thriller b/w Ireland and Scotland, wish there were some highlights available to view. Ryan ten Doeschate continues to prosper for Netherlands. To me he can introduce himself to the world stage in the upcoming WC.

 

[aussie1st]

Not bad at all by the Netherlands, this is turning out to be a good series as you have 4 sides that are competitive. Bad luck to Ireland but it does show they will be a threat this tournament.

Today's Results

Bermuda v Ireland

Bermuda innings: 275/8 (Smith 52, Minors 51)
Ireland innings: 276/6 (Poterfield 112 not out, K O'Brien 54)

Ireland win by 4 wickets

Canada v Scotland

Scotland innings: 276/4 (Watts 70, Hamilton 64 not out, Brown 50)
Canada innings: 269/9

Scotland win by 7 runs

Kenya v Netherlands

Netherlands innings: 131 all out
Kenya innings: 133/3

Kenya win by 7 wickets

 

[aussie1st]

That was a much closer game by Canada this time round, so much for the Dutch giving Kenya any opposition looks like they have this in the bag.

 

[andrew_nixon]

On Canada's score above, I forgot to mention that Ashish Bagai scored an unbeaten 137.
