I think I know an awful lot about cricket and there is probably very rarely a 3 or 4 hour period of time where I am not checking cricket results. I also think I am of above average intelligence. With all this in mind if I don't have a scooby doo of what's going on in the Cricket World Cup League 2 competition, there must be vast swathes of people who don't even know where to start.
For a start there is Oman who are at the top of the table after having played 21 games whilst in 6th lies their current competitors the UAE who have played 8. Another confusing thing is that normally this is a little Associates Asemble tournament with four or five teams all rocking up and having a round Robin. This series of games appears to just be Oman playing the UAE three times. I get that some of this confusion will be covid related but it is still rather baffling.
This aside it was a pretty decent game today with 2 centuries and 615 runs shared between the two teams. In the end it was the team that boasted the highest individual scorer, Chirag Suri, who ran out winners. His 115 runs saw the UAE throw up an upset (maybe, possibly, who knows) and chase down Oman's total of 307.
For what it's worth the two totals today eete the second and third highest of the tournament.
The second game is tomorrow.
