She has a decent chance of qualifying for Olympics. There are two spots on offer at Asian qualification event. Among the not qualified Asian nations, she has finished in 2nd place behind Thai girl in both Asian Games and here. So, Nethra and Thai girl should be favourites to win the two Asian quotas.

Next stop Olympic gold.

Atleast I am aware of that. It feels nice to win another gold but still it feels inadequate until we can overtake the Africans in medal table in Asian Games. Meanwhile Indian media is going ga-ga over Hima Das winning a series of golds in preparatory meets in Europe in low quality races.

At present China and Korea are qualifying teams while Japan and India are qualifying individual athletes. Bhavani needs to stay above Kazakhstan and Hong Kong and hope that both China and Korea do qualify team. If either of those teams fail to qualify a team, we will have to rely on Asian qualifying tournament to qualify for Olympics

didn't understand how points were scored but still it was amazing to see her come back from behind and give a fight before losing by the narrowest of margins.

Bhavani Devi wins her R32 match as well to reach R16. Amazing performance by her. A big shout out to @Prashanth for tracking her all these years.

Full draw for AFC World Cup qualifiers- Second Round: Group A: Group B: Group C: Group D: Group E: Group F: Group G: Group H: All the group winners and 4 best runner-up will advance to third round.

What will happen if Qatar wins their group? Their spot in third round goes to 5th best runner-up from all groups? or runner-up from their group qualify directly as winner of group? or Qatar plays even the third round?

Double trap is no longer part of Olympic program.

It means you are not in. You need to become a member of ICC to take part in official cricket. But becoming a member should not be hard, if they really tried. ICC, and all other federations, like to inflate their numbers, so grant out membership very easily.

Tell that to IOC.

I have zero idea about Slovakian cricket team. A simple google search revealed it.

Slovakia has a cricket club and have taken part in European T20 tournaments. ICC has 105 member nations while IIHF has 76 members. Also, I have nothing against Ice Hockey and believe it deserves its place in Olympics. I am just fed up of the hypocrisy practiced when Cricket or any other sport not popular in Europe or USA is derided as useless game played by handful of nations not even worthy to have its own World Cup while sports played in Europe are the pinnacle of human race.

I think it is fair to say that those teams would lose to an amateur club team from Slovakia.

Afghanistan and Netherlands are easily in top 15 teams in Cricket. If by some magic, ICC got some brains and we had a decent size WC of 16 teams, we would have more non-Commonwealth nations in WC.
