Zimbabwe continued their red-hot form of Group Stage to the Super Six as well.

Even though Prajapati smashed a century during the run chase, Oman was unable to meet the target as it was on the higher side. Although Ilyas, Ayaan Khan, Nadeem, and Maqsood all made significant contributions, they weren't enough to pose a threat to the opponent. The majority of wickets were taken by Zimbabwe pacers, however, they were also highly expensive.



Now, Zimbabwe are at the top of the Qualifiers Points Table with this win. They have 6 points and an NRR of +0.752. They are followed by Sri Lanka with 4 points and an astonishing NRR of +2.698.



Oman are the lowest bottom of the World Cup Qualifiers Points Table with 0 wins and negative NRR. All the teams other than top two in the current Points table have a negative Net Run Rate which indicates that Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe are the teams booking their slots in the ICC World Cup 2023 to be held in India.

ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table Updated: For the first time in the history of the ICC World Cup, Two-times ODI World Cup Champions and two-times T20 World Cup Champions will not even feature in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 to be held in India. They became the first team to get knocked out of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers Super Six Stage and Scotland gained two invaluable deserving points. We bring you ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table updated on July 1 after West Indies vs Scotland.



West Indies have participated in every World Cup, be it 50-over or 20-over. However, they are eliminated. Such a hard pill to swallow. But Scotland deserve praises. They have been wonderful. They bowled quite well and followed it up with an excellent, focused effort with the bat. Scotland have so walked into the competition for a spot in the tournament's final.



With this win, Scotland moved up in the table and reached the third spot with 4 points and also pushed their NRR positive +0.188. Whereas, West Indies unfortunately are out of the contest and stand 5th in the Qualifiers Points Table with an NRR of -0.510.



Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe are right at the top of the World Cup Qualifiers Points Table of Super Six. Sri Lanka are at the top with 6 points and skyrocketing NRR of +1.832 and Zimbabwe have also secured 6 points and NRR of +0.752 standing at 2nd spot.

ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table Updated (July 1) After West Indies vs Scotland (Super Six)| ICC ODI World Cup 2023

icc-world-cup-qualifiers-points-table-updated-july-1-after-west-indies-vs-scotland-super-six-icc-odi-world-cup-2023

ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table: West Indies have defeated Oman in the 7th Match of the ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers 2023. Some good news for West Indies towards the end of the tournament but not enough to light up the sorrow of getting eliminated from the ICC World Cup for the first time in history. We will walk you through ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table Updated (July 5) After West Indies vs Oman in this post.



Oman have played all of its matches now. Out of 7 matches (4 in Group stage and 3 in Super Six), they could only manage to pull two wins. They won the first two matches in the group stage with domination and next, they got a fixture against Sri Lanka, where onwards, things went south for them. They have lost all the matches after that loss to Sri Lanka and finished last in the ICC World Cup Qualifiers Super Six Points Table.



West Indies were everyone's favorite prior to the tournament but they weren't too good either! They lost two and won two in the Group Stage and then lost one and won today in the Super Six stage. They have one match left which they will play on 7th July against the mighty Sri Lanka who are the topper and the only Qualified team for the World Cup Qualifiers Final till now. If they can put forward a strong impression in their final game here, it would give them a tremendous lift for the India series later this month.



Today, Oman were given the opportunity to bat first, and they got off to a good start. They could have really been able to kick on for a respectable total if not have faced?those three runouts. West Indies bowled really well to keep them under 222. The aim was resisted by West Indies by continuing to make little gains.



In Responce, Charles flopped once again, but Carty and King made a strong counterattack. King eventually scored a fantastic 100. On the other end, Captain Hope was cool and collected as Oman made little progress. As the victory drew near, they lost the King immediately after the century, but Pooran flowed easily throughout his brief presence and made it look easy.

ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table Updated (July 5) After West Indies vs Oman (Super Six)| ICC ODI World Cup 2023

icc-world-cup-qualifiers-points-table-updated-july-5-after-west-indies-vs-oman-super-six-icc-odi-world-cup-2023

ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table: Last match of the ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers 2023 Super Six stage between Sri Lanka and West Indies has been concluded and it is Sri Lanka that came out as a winner, defeating West Indies by 8 wickets. We bring you ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table Updated (July 7) After Sri Lanka vs West Indies one last time.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Points Table:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-world-cup-qualifiers-points-table">ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table</a></li></ul></nav></div>



It was quite a joyful and successful tournament for Asian Champions as they maintained a 100% winning rate throughout the tournament. They have played 7 matches till now and have won all of those in dominating fashion. Now, they will be eyeing the World Cup Qualifiers Finals against the Netherlands on 9th July at Harare Sports Club, Harare.



If you wish to witness a display of faith and perseverance. follow the Netherlands' journey in the World Cup 2023 Qualifiers competition. They booked a ticket to India out of nowhere in the race. Zimbabwe and Scotland were still in the race, but no one expected that the Netherlands would come out on top. They maintained a "never say die" attitude throughout the competition. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/the-Netherlands.jpg" alt="World Cup Qualifiers: Sri Lanka and Netherlands Schedule for ICC World Cup 2023 in India" class="wp-image-116096" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: ICC</figcaption></figure>



But you have to feel bad for Zimbabwe and Scotland. Three teams were deadlocked on six points, thus NRR was required to break the tie. This will be a long-lasting cause for celebration in the Netherlands.



In today's match, Sri Lanka once again won the toss and elected to bowl first. Johnson Charles being Johnson Charles, started the attack and gave the initial push but regular wickets from the second end put him under pressure and eventually, he also got out. Keacy Carty displayed courage and smoked 87 runs towards the end. None of the other batters looked comfortable at the crease against the Sri Lankan bowling unit, especially Maheesh Theekshana, and were bundled out at 243.



Sri Lanka were up to the mark and proved why they deserve to be on the top of the World Cup Qualifiers Points table. 190 runs opening stand did it all for Sri Lanka. Pathum Nissanka was the hero of the chase with a blistering 104 runs innings. Sri Lanka chased down the target with 8 wickets in hand and also 5.4 overs to spare. With this win, Sri Lanka remained on top and West Indies ended the Qualifiers at 5th position of ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers Points Table 2023.

ICC World Cup Qualifiers Points Table Updated (July 7) After Sri Lanka vs West Indies (Super Six)| ICC ODI World Cup 2023

icc-world-cup-qualifiers-points-table-updated-july-7-after-sri-lanka-vs-west-indies-super-six-icc-odi-world-cup-2023

Just three months are left for the start of The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) and many teams are still searching for their new captains. Three time runners-up Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is one of them and they had taken the big call of releasing their skipper Faf Du Plessis ahead of the Mega-Auction. 
They didn't even buy him in the auction and this means that they are in search of a new captain. A captain who can potentially help them win their maiden IPL Trophy. 
Ahead of the upcoming IPL season, a new update has come out regarding the next captain of the franchise. According to some news reports, hard hitting Indian batter Rajat Patidar is likely to become the next skipper of the Bengaluru based team. Before this update, some rumours were suggesting that the RCB team management want Virat Kohli to lead the team again but the franchise has not given any official update yet regarding the same. 
<h2>Patidar was captaining this team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournament</h2>
Rajat Patidar was recently seen leading the team of Madhya Pradesh (MP) in India's Domestic T20 league, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He led his team in a fantastic way and helped them reach the final of the tournament. However, he wasn't able to help MP lift the trophy. 
In the previous edition of the SMAT, the 31-year-old performed in a brilliant manner with the bat, scoring three quickfire fifties. He's in good form at present and he will be expected to once again show his aggressive batting nature in the IPL and possibly help RCB lift their maiden IPL Trophy. 
Ahead of the Mega-Auction, a lot of websites were claiming that Kohli will be seen donning the captain's hat once again for Bengaluru but since no action has been taken by the franchise, a new rumour is being spread that Patidar will become the new skipper of the franchise. It will be interesting to see who ends up becoming the next captain of the three-time runner's up in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have still not announced their new skipper yet for IPL 2025 and as the tournament approaches closer and closer, the franchise will have to act on a quick note

IPL: This player might become the new captain of RCB, was seen captaining in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

After the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, the focus of the cricket world will shift to the ICC Champions Trophy. India had a horrible last few months, where they lost a home series to New Zealand and now lost the BGT trophy as well.
Hence, India can erase all the bad memories by winning the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. But most of the Indian players are not in good form, which will be a big headache for the management. That can be one reason that we might see some surprise pick in the Indian squad.
India's premier ODI tournament, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, is underway, where some brilliant performances have been recorded until now. Hence, we might see some inclusions on the basis of that form. Below, we will talk about three potential names that can make it into the Indian squad after doing well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.
<h2>Three players who can join the ICC Champions Trophy squad on their good performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25</h2>
3. Varun Chakravarthy
India will play their matches in Dubai, where spinners do pretty well. Kuldeep Yadav is not completely fit, and India will need some mystery in their spin. That's where they can add Varun Chakravarthy. The 33-year-old recently made his comeback in T20Is after doing well in the IPL.
Since his return, he has taken 17 wickets in seven T20Is. Even in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, he is doing pretty well. Varun has taken 13 wickets in five games at an economy rate of 4.05. Hence, if India don't have the option of Kuldeep, they can look for Varun with his mystery spin.
2. Arshdeep Singh
There is news that India might add Arshdeep Singh to the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The left-arm pacer is India's premier bowler in the T20I format but has played only 8 ODIs since his debut in November 22. But he has been performing pretty well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.
Arshdeep has taken more wickets in the tournament so far. He has 17 wickets in just six games with two four-wicket hauls and one fifer. He can swing the ball and also bowl in the final overs. There is already concern over the availability of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. That's why Arshdeep can be a perfect guy for the team.
1. Abhishek Sharma
The Punjab opener Abhishek Sharma has been on fire in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The left-handed opener, who is part of India's T20I setup, is known for his aggressive skills and has capitalized on them in the ongoing tournament.
He has scored 448 runs in seven innings at an average of 64 and an incredible strike rate of 130.99. He is also a pretty handy spinner and can be useful in the UAE. India can look at him as a possible backup opener and add him into the squad.

India will play their first game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on February 20 against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

3 Surprise players who can be picked for India's Champions Trophy 2025 squad after doing well in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25

3-surprise-players-who-can-be-picked-for-india-s-champions-trophy-2025-squad-after-doing-well-in-vijay-hazare-trophy-2024-25

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah's fitness is one of the trending topics in Indian cricket. The speedster experienced back spasms during the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. 
After bowling just 10 overs in the first innings in Sydney, Jasprit Bumrah walked off the field and underwent scans. He didn't take the field again as India was without their captain in the last innings of the match. This no doubt cost India but also sent a sense of scare among the Indian fans. 
Jasprit Bumrah didn't look in great shape either, and now his fitness has raised massive concerns over his availability for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because there is no clarity over the seriousness of the injury that the premier fast bowler has faced in his back during the match. 
As per the reports in Sports Tak, it is learned that Jasprit Bumrah will be consulting a personal doctor as well along with the BCCI medical team. The fast bowler will be having a chat with the doctor in New Zealand who operated on him during the back surgery he faced in 2022. 
It is learned once Jasprit Bumrah meets that doctor, there will be a lot of clarity over his injury. It will be the doctor only who will be deciding what the fast bowler has to do to return to action. This raises a lot of concern over his fitness, especially with big events like the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah is all set to be rested for the three-match ODI series against England.</h2>
Bumrah is all set to be rested for the three-match ODI series against England. This is because BCCI wanted the fast bowler to be fit and be at 100% for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. If the pacer remains unfit for the tournament, it will turn out to be a big blow for the team. 
The pain in the back for Jasprit Bumrah arises due to his workload in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler bowled 151 overs in the five games and picked 32 wickets. He gave his best for the side but ended up on the wrong side of the result. However, more than that his fitness was the main concern. 
Bumrah is very unlikely to play any T20I game this year, meaning that he won't be part of the T20I series against England. Another section of the reports added that he might play one ODI against Three Lions to get into the rhythm for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India spinner Varun Chakravarthy is in contention to be picked in the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that the BCCI has asked the selectors to keep an eye on the Kolkata Knight Riders spinner. 
Varun Chakravarthy has impressed the selectors and the BCCI with the way he made his comeback in the Indian setup after the IPL 2024. The mystery spinner set the stage on fire with the ball in the T20Is against Bangladesh as well as South Africa. 
In both series, Varun Chakravarthy turned out to be the game-changer for India. The mystery spinner helped India win both the series and was the key performer for the team. He was applauded a lot by fans and pundits for the way he made a comeback to India. 
The BCCI reportedly has told one of the selectors to watch the fitness, moments and progress of Varun Chakravarthy, who is playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The India spinner has been shining with the ball in the domestic tournament, making his case strong for the team. 
Varun Chakravarthy is making strong performances for Tamil Nadu in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The spinner has taken 13 wickets at an average of 13.62 in the tournament so far, and with the way he is going strong, he surely would've taken the interest of selectors. 
<h2>The Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced next week</h2>
The Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced next week. Before the tournament, India will be taking on England in the three-match ODI series. There are chances that Varun might be picked for that series. 
The mystery spinner is yet to make his debut for India in the ODIs. But with the kind of form he is going through, there are high chances that he might be picked in the England series and might even play in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Jasprit Bumrah has become the biggest match-winner for Team India across all three formats. He has been at the peak of his skills, and he has taken the graph of his performance to a whole new level. After winning the Man of the Tournament award in India's successful campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024, he recently ended as the top wicket-taker for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Bumrah ended with a record 32 wickets in five tests at an exceptional average of 13.06. But his performance went in vain as Australia won the series 3-1, and Australia regained the BGT trophy. Bumrah sustained a back spasm and didn't bowl in the second innings. That has raised concern in the Indian camp. There is no official update on his injury, and India might look to give them a proper rest.
But the biggest question is on his availability in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The upcoming event will start in five weeks time on February 19, and Jasprit Bumrah will be India's key man. India can't afford to miss him. But with his career on the line, India won't take a risk to hurry him. So, who will be the bowlers who can replace him for India, if he gets ruled out?
<h2>Three bowlers whom India can pick as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement if he gets ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
1. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh has become India's go-to bowler in the T20I format, and he took the most wickets in the T20 World Cup 2024. He played a crucial role along with Bumrah in India's triumph. But since his ODI debut in November 2022, he has played only 8 ODIs. But with the way he is going, India will certainly want to cash in on his form and bring the freshness of his left-arm swing to the table for the coming event.
2. Prasidh Krishna
Prasidh Krishna is another good option to have. He played in the fifth and final test at the SCG and took six wickets in the match. He has good pace, and his tall figure helps him to get bounce from the surface. India will play their matches in Dubai, where you want a bowler like him that can bounce the batter out. Krishna has an incredible ODI record as well. He has played 17 matches and taken 29 wickets at an average of 25.28. He can also be a good replacement for Jasprit Bumrah.
3. Mayank Yadav
India have three group matches, and then there are two more if they qualify for the finals. That means there can be a maximum of five games with proper rest in between the games. That is where India can unleash the raw pace of Mayank Yadav. The 22-year-old superstar made his name in the IPL 2025 for his sheer pace, which earned him his T20I debut. He has four wickets in three T20Is for India. Though he has not played an ODI game for India, he can be a great asset for the side. He can add his extra pace to the bowling unit of India, which will add new dimensions to the Indian attack.

Jasprit Bumrah didn't bowl in the final innings of the fifth test at SCG due to a back spasm. He is likely to miss the England series as well.
