Rain threatens to derail the Twenty20 World Cup when big guns enter the fray this weekend, with Australia's opener against New Zealand and an India v Pakistan blockbuster both at risk of being washed out.
The famous punch line “Pace is Pace Yaar” was born after Wahab's over and its loose English translation would mean real pace is the real deal. As we move towards the main round of T20 World Cup at the business end of the Australian winter, pace will rule the roost; although on slightly slower tracks, fuller lengths will be equally important. While spinners are expected to play a key role on the Australian tracks despite the soggy weather, those with scary pace will provide an x-factor as there would still be enough bounce. The PTI looks at five bowlers, who have the ability to make a difference for their respective teams. With no Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian line-up, the ‘Men In Blue' are missing a trick.
Shaheen Afridi was all fired up in Pakistan's warm-up match against Afghanistan on Wednesday. Though the match had to be abandoned due to rain in Brisbane, Shaheen scalped the wickets of Afghanistan openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai. Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter Gurbaz was hit on the left foot by Shaheen's inswinging yorker. He was given some medical attention and was carried off the pitch. Gurbaz was later seen wearing a protective boot on his left foot. He was sent to hospitals to get his scans done.
India and Pakistan have been loggerheads ever since the Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah, who is also the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), confirmed that India will not travel to Pakistan for the 50-over Asia Cup in 2023. Not only that, Shah also said that the tournament will be played at a neutral venue. In response, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), through an official statement, threatened to pull out of the ODI World Cup in India next year.
Pakistan cricket team received a big boost from the return of pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi to the team ahead of the start of T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 round. Playing his first game after the long injury layoff, Shaheen looked on song right from the start as he bamboozled the Afghanistan batters with his pace and swing in the warm-up match. Pakistan vice-captain Shadab Khan, welcoming Shaheen back to the team, posted a cheeky tweet on social media that has sent fans into a hysteria.
MELBOURNE: Heavy rain in Brisbane poured cold water on the final batches of warm-up matches ahead of the T20 World Cup but a fit-again Shaheen Afridi's trademark arms-aloft celebration lifted spirits in the Pakistan camp on Wednesday (Oct 19).
England bowler Reece Topley has been ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup with an ankle injury just days before their tournament opener against Afghanistan.
(Reuters) - England seamer Reece Topley has been ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia due to ligament damage to his left ankle, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Wednesday.
