On one hand, happy for the Netherlaไnds they have progressed. But you feel bad for especially Wiese. That was a a superlat꧒ive hand.
I ღth♊ought Zaheer and Waseem bowled really well by using some cross-seam. There was certainly some dew.

Namibia twice in this tournament had to pull back in innings from the edge of a cliff. They managed it against Sri Lanka, but couldn't do it against UAE.
That tail should be given some sort of medal of honour from their government.𓃲 They gave everything𝓡, with bat & ball.

Don't think Associate cricket has ever had a better advert than this week.
All teams have brought a lot – and won at least one game; no side has been undefeated; cricket has been cutthroat and of good quality.
It has been a great advert for the 20-team Wo🍰rld Cup coming in 2024

Remarkable game. Narrative of this week in Geelong has been class, but Namibia battering the Asia Cup champions in the first game, then falling three metres s✱hort against UAE in the last, sums it🥂 up.
SL into Eng/NZ/Afg/Aus group, Netherlan🌟ds i꧋nto Ind/Pak/SA/Ban.
