2022 ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup

I've just watched the West Indies v Scotland match.
This Indies team is a second string team there are only Holder and Pooran who are amongst their stongest performers.

I'd open the batting with Holder as he is their big hitter.

Match 7 Group B
Scotland 176-5 Jones 86 Berrington 37 Cross 28 Campher 2-9
Ireland 180-4 (19 overs) Campher 72 no Dockerell 39 no
Ireland won by 6 wickets

^^ Looked an unlikely win or Ireland, at 61-4 in the 10th over, but them Campher & Dockrell steered their side to victory with an unbroken 177 run partnership, & completed in 19 overs.

Match 8 Group B
West Indies 153-7 Charles 45Powell 28 Hosein 23 no Butt 3-19 Muzarabani 2-38
Zimbabwe 122 (18.2 overs) Jongwe 29 Madhevere 27 Joseph 4-16 Holder 3-12
West Indies won by 31 runs

After today's matches, Group B is wide open, with the 4 teams having one win & one loss. Some uncertainty concerning the weather in Hobart on Friday, hopefully, 2 full games are possible.

What an absolute gem Ireland have in Campher!! Capable across formats too, although I saw him more of a threat in 50 over competition, happy to be proved wrong! Still think though that the boys in green succeeding in T20 is more of a bonus than a 'hat hanger'

Get the feeling that the West indies might just scrape through if they win their last match and be a shock if Sri Lanka don't make it and Namibia do. Netherland probably have the upper hand as they defend a 100% record against Sri Lanka in the group.

Match 9 Group A
Sri Lanka 162-6 Kusal 3-28 Asalanka 31 van Meekeren 2-25 de Leede 2-31
Netherlands 146-9 O'Dowd 71 Hasaranga 3-28 Theekshana 2-32
Sri Lanka won by 16 runs

Match 10 Group A
UAE 148-3 (20 overs) Waseem 50 Rizwan 43 no Basil 25 no
Namibia 141-8 Wiese 55 Trumpelmann 25 no Zahoor 2-20 Basil 2-17
UAE won by 7 runs

A big injury blow for England, with Reece Topley out after an ankle strain. Tymal Mills is his replacement. Topley has been England's top T20 wicket taker over the last year.
