Today's match is very important to qualify world cup. WI and Scotland both want to win this match because if WI loses this match then the qualification will be depending on run rate. If WI loses today's match then all top teams points will be equal otherwise WI will easily go to WI. Let's see Scotland can give surprise to WI in today's match.

As for me the best tips in gambling is avoid being greedy. Not cricket match or anything that believes to give lucky ... i must say that being a  gambler you must know on how to stop either you are winning or lossing because when you are too much greedy to won and take it all..you cannot notice that you will lose all that makes you regtets at the same time...

Well finally West Indies have won the match and they have qualified for the 2019 cricket world cup...but had to feel for the Scotland as i think they had a good chance of winning todays match...they lost only by 5 runs by D/L method..

The West Indies were very lucky to win this game, not sure if they really deserved to win though but these things happen in sports and they made it through to the World Cup.

I'm looking forward to later today when South Africa and Australia play the 3rd test match. Both teams will be fired up for this test match as there has been a lot of tension between both teams from the last test match. Both teams are about even overall however I would put Australia just ahead when it comes to bowling. Australia just needs Smith to fire and their middle order to go on and make hundreds as no Australian batsman has been able to in the series. I still don't think we have seen Australia's potential that they showed in the Ashes series, if they do then I can't see South Africa winning. 

Did anyone watch the first test match between England and NZ this mornings section?

England has all out for just 58 runs and only two bowlers from NZ side bowled just 10 overs each to finish England's first innings batting. Only two batsmen scored more than 10 runs and five batsmen got out for zero runs. NZ bowlers Boult took six wickets and Southee took four wickets. England just played 20.4 overs and now NZ has scored already 101 runs and lost just two wickets in 42 overs. England side eight batsmen scored 33 runs in 25 balls. That's they can cross 50 runs mark otherwise may be all out for 30 overruns.

Yes finally a 2 times champion West Indies qualified 2019 world cup. this is their prestige matter but they did it congrats to WI. now, who will qualify for the last position Afghanistan or Zimbabwe?

ZIW vs UAE, the match reduced to 40 overs because of rain. UAE scored 235/7, now ZIW needs 40 runs in 28 balls 5 wickets in hand, tough match let's see ZIW will make it or not.

A disastrous match for England Batsman, 2 bowlers devastated there batting lineup. I think not a full chance, they will win. The morale of there opponent is down I guess and that's what make them ahead, way ahead and a clear winner. 175 with 7 wickets remaining, 300+ will be a easy lead, may be more than that. Pressure will be on England batsman and bowlers as well, lets see how well they try to come back.

England have a pathetic recent record away from home. It doesn't look like it is going to get any better. New Zealand batsmen showed that this pitch has no devils in it. England were in danger of posting their lowest ever test score, but were saved by their last wicket partnership.

I really could not believe my eyes on seeing the scorecard live,it was 23 for the loss of 8 wickets at one stage and it was a magical spell of bowling by Boult and well supported by Southee, this is one of the most embarrassing moments for England in a very long time ,there is no way that England could come back in this match from this situation as New Zealand is set to post a huge total.

It is hard to see West Indies struggling to get qualified for the world cup considering that they were such a dominant force in the past ,i wanted to see Afghanistan getting qualification for the next world cup as they have some incredible world class players .
