India Openers Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill Achieve This Big Feat In ODI Cricket
India openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill reach the milestone of most hundred-run partnerships this year in ODIs. The landmark came at the 45th match of the World Cup 2023 against the Netherlands at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.

The fourth place is held by Kusal Mendis and S Samarawickrama.
"Keep Believing Pakistan": Michael Vaughan Trolls Babar Azam And Co. Over Their Semi-Final Hopes
Pakistan will be needing a miracle to make it to the semi-finals of Cricket World Cup 2023 when they face a charged-up England at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Saturday. New Zealand's net run-rate boosting five wicket-win over Sri Lanka on Thursday has virtually shattered Pakistan's semifinal hopes. The 1992 champions now have to beat England by an improbable margin to make it to the knockout round. New Zealand's NRR is +0.743 while Pakistan's is +0.036, and for the Babar Azam-led side to eclipse the former to qualify as the fourth side, it has to win by around 287 runs batting first. While chasing, Pakistan need to win with 284 balls to spare. That is an impractical task.
Australia Face Happy Selection Headache Ahead Of Cricket World Cup 2023 Semifinal: Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins on Saturday conceded Australia will be facing selection headaches going into their World Cup semifinal against South Africa, after Mitchell Marsh's 177 not out powered the five-time champions to a commanding eight-wicket win against Bangladesh in the last league game. Australia, who began the World Cup campaign with two losses on the trot, have now seven consecutive wins and will face South Africa in the second semifinal at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on November 16. Marsh's 177 not out (132 balls, 17x4s, 9x6s) follows a stunning knock of 201 not out from all-rounder Glenn Maxwell against Afghanistan in Mumbai last week, who single-handedly made the bulk of the runs when Australia were reduced to 91 for seven chasing 292.
There Won't Be Drastic Changes In Our ODI Outlook Like It Happened Post 2015: Jos Buttler
England skipper Jos Buttler admitted that there will be lot of "reflection" on their premature ouster from the ODI World Cup but he ruled out any massive churning that happened after their 2015 group league stage exit during the Australian edition. In 2015, England lost to Bangladesh at group league stage and were accused of being way behind modern ODI game as Eoin Morgan transformed the side into a bunch of world beaters winning the 2019 edition at home, as all format players made way for white ball specialists.
