After a woeful start to their T20 World Cup campaign, Sri Lanka will be under immense pressure when they face Bangladesh in a must-win game at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas, on Saturday.
Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming has revealed that India all-rounder Shivam Dube rates his own bowling skills pretty highly. Dube, who has worked with Fleming at Chennai Super Kings, didn't get the chance to bowl much during the entire IPL 2024 campaign. However, he gave a good account of himself in India's T20 World Cup warm-up game against Bangladesh last week, taking two wickets to help the team get a convincing win. Fleming conceded that while the 'impact player' rule limited Dube's role as an all-rounder, the CSK coach also revealed that the player always backs himself as a bowler as if he is Kapil Dev.
The USA captain Monank Patel has backed his team's fearless approach to continue their winning campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024 when they take on heavy-weight Pakistan and said his side is focusing on tackling experienced Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir and "great batter in all the formats" Babar Azam. The opening game's USA victory against Canada clearly shows how dangerous the hosts are. The way the hosts handled themselves, turning a seemingly hopeless situation into a convincing triumph, is typical of a confident team coming off of a thrilling 2-1 series victory over Bangladesh in the lead-up to the tournament.
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya showed promising signs as returned to the pitch, wearing the national team's shirt in the warm-up game against Bangladesh and then in the opening T20 World Cup match against Ireland. Leaving the Mumbai Indians' problems behind, Hardik showed his old form as a finisher and a bowler, asserting that the Indian Premier League issues are now in the past. Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar highlighted how 'relaxed and relieved' Hardik looks while wearing the India jersey and not the Mumbai Indians blue, having gone through a torrid time in the recently-concluded T20 league.
Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya had an tumultuous outing at the recently concluded IPL 2024. Mumbai Indians finished at the bottom of the points table with just 4 victories from 14 matches and Hardik came under a lot of fire - both as a player and a captain. Hardik's appointment as the Mumbai Indians captain ahead of the tournament was not taken well by a section of the fanbase and the disappointing results led to the crowd booing him at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Ireland opened their ICC T20 World Cup campaign with an eight-wicket defeat to favourites India at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli form the opening combination for India as the 2007 champions won the toss and elected to bowl first against Ireland in their first Group A match of the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium here on Wednesday.
India begin their T20 World Cup campaign in New York against Ireland on Wednesday (6.30pm UAE time) and given the way the tournament has turned out so far, it could be a hugely entertaining match.
