03.07.2023 - 18:15 sports.ndtv.com

The Netherlands kept their bid to qualify for the Cricket World Cup alive as Vikramjit Singh's hundred set up a comfortable victory over Oman on Monday.

The Dutch, who have not played at the global one-day showpiece since 2011, needed to win to stay in contention for a place at the tournament in India later this year.

Singh's maiden one-day international ton and Wesley Barresi's 65-ball 97 helped the Netherlands rack up 362-7 from 48 overs after being put in to bat first in a weather-affected match.

Oman never looked likely to complete the run chase despite 105 not out from Ayaan Khan, finishing on 246-6 after 44 overs when play was ended due to bad light.

The promo for this year's ICC Cricket World Cup in India is out, and it's fair to say that certain former Pakistan cricketers and the team's fans aren't thrilled. Shoaib Akhtar, one of the greatest Pakistani cricketers of all time, took to Twitter to express his disappointment after seeing the promo of the ODI World Cup, released by the International Cricket Council. A fuming Akhtar took to Twitter to criticise those who made the promo, suggesting it is incomplete without the Pakistan cricket team's captain.

Sri Lanka maintained their unbeaten record at the Cricket World Cup Qualifier as Pathum Nissanka's hundred helped secure an eight-wicket victory over the West Indies on Friday.

Pakistan Skipper Babar Azam Says Ready To Play 'Anyone, Anywhere' In India During ICC World Cup 2023

Pakistan are ready to take on any side at any venue in India during this year's World Cup, skipper Babar Azam said Thursday as the team awaited government approval to participate in the tournament. Pakistan are drawn to play India at Ahmedabad's 132,000-capacity Narendra Modi stadium on October 15 -- the first time they will meet on either's home turf since 2012. The neighbours are bitter political adversaries and usually only meet in international tournaments at neutral venues, most recently during the T20 World Cup in Australia last year. The Pakistan Cricket Board wrote to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the interior and foreign ministries this week asking for formal permission to take part in the tournament.
