COLOMBO : Spin bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga said Sri Lanka must resolve the "weakness" in the lower half of their batting order ahead of this year's Twenty20 World Cup after they were held to paltry totals in two matches against Australia.
The Wallabies will make history by hosting the first ever international event at Sydney's brand new Allianz Stadium when they play the Springboks on Saturday, 3 September.
New Zealand paceman Kyle Jamieson said the tourists were making fresh plans to combat star batsman Joe Root as they bid to draw level in their three-Test series away to England. The Black Caps, the reigning World Test champions, are 1-0 down in a three-match series heading into the second Test at Trent Bridge, starting on Friday And that's mainly because former England captain Root made an unbeaten hundred to guide the hosts to a five-wicket win in the first Test at Lord's completed on Sunday. That fourth-innings knock of 115 not out also catapulted Root back to number two in the latest edition of the International Cricket Council's Test batting rankings published Wednesday. Root remains just behind Australia's Marnus Labuschagne, but three places above New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, and could go into top spot if he is in the runs again in Nottingham this week.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam created history at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Wednesday night as he slammed a century vs West Indies in the first ODI, his 17th in the 50-over format, to create a unique record. This was Babar's third consecutive century in ODIs, having scored 114 and 105* against Australia in Lahore to set up a big series win for the team earlier this year. As a result of this he became the first batter in the history of ODI cricket to score three consecutive centuries in the format twice over.
The drama surrounding the Qatar 2022 qualifiers has not yet come to an end. The final chapters are yet to be written, those that will finally shape the list of the 32 national teams that will compete for the glory of world soccer.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam became the first batter to knock three successive one-day international hundreds twice as he anchored a five-wicket win over the West Indies in Multan on Wednesday. Ranked number one batter in both limited-overs formats, Azam cracked a brilliant 107-ball 103 with nine boundaries to help Pakistan overhaul a tough 306-run target in 49.2 overs. Opener Shai Hope knocked 134-ball 127 for his 12th one-day international century to help the West Indies post an impressive 305-8 -- their highest against Pakistan in Pakistan. The win gives Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the three match series and 10 crucial points in the ODI Super League, a qualification process for 2023 World Cup (50 overs) to be hosted by India. But once Azam and Mohammad Rizwan (59) fell in quick succession, Pakistan were in a spot of bother with 50 needed off 32 balls.
Ranji Trophy team on Thursday created a global first-class record when all nine batters, who took guard, scored half-centuries in a mammoth first innings score of 773 for eight against a hapless Jharkhand on the third day of the quarter-final, here. At stumps, Jharkhand were 139 for 5 in their first innings and it is virtually impossible to stop Bengal from entering the semi-final as the opposition now trails by 634 runs. The match will be remembered for a record that stood the test of time since 1893 when the touring Australian team, in a first-class game against combined universities (Oxford and Cambridge), had eight of their batters scoring fifty or more.
MELBOURNE : Australia will play South Africa in a Rugby Championship test at Sydney Football Stadium on Sept. 3, the first international sporting event at the venue since its A$828 million ($594 million) redevelopment.
