An intriguing finish brewing in Cricket World Cup League 2 👀

#CWC27 co-hosts Namibia sit in fifth having completed all of their fixtures and are set for the CWC Qualifier playoff, with only the top four going directly to the main Qualifier.

To move into the top four, Namibia needed Oman to lose their last seven games, and for Oman’s net run rate to fall below their own.

Oman have since lost six in a row and have their last match against the UAE on Wednesday 😯

Four international captains raise their voices against the new CWC 2027 format, which is engineered for broadcasters.

[KASHISH @crickashish217]

Check how many games leading associates are having to fight to qualify for "global qualifier", where they then must win top 2 spots to then secure their place for this horrible "Super Series" to then earn the 1 spot opened at the actual World Cup.

Not unfair. It's inhumane!

[Maxwell O'Dowd @Maxiboi23]

So you’re telling me, associate sides have to play in a 3 year 50 over tournament, to qualify for a qualifier to qualify for another tri-series qualifier to then qualify for a World Cup.
