New Zealand know all about the threat posed by Bangladesh after playing the Asian side in the build-up to the Cricket World Cup, opener Devon Conway said ahead of the sides' meeting in Chennai later on Friday.
New Zealand aim to take another step in the semi-finals of the World Cup when they face Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After sitting out the first two games, Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson said that he will feature in the match at the Chepauk. While New Zealand have registered two wins in two games so far, Bangladesh have one win and one loss in the tournament. With Rachin Ravindra in breathtaking form so far in the tournament, Mark Chapman is likely to make way for Williamson.
Kane Williamson said the legacy of the All Blacks inspires New Zealand's cricketers as he prepares to return from a long injury layoff to captain the team at the World Cup.
HONG KONG : Hong Kong eased to a 4-0 win over Bhutan on Thursday to put one foot in the second round of Asia's preliminaries for the 2026 World Cup as Indonesia and Myanmar picked up convincing first leg victories over Brunei and Macau respectively.
Indian cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is a huge fan of Premier League side Manchester United and he pulled out a special celebration during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Afghanistan on Wednesday. Bumrah provided the first breakthrough for India as he dismissed Ibrahim Zadran and he followed it up with a celebration that has become synonymous with United footballer Marcus Rashford. It was a short of the length delivery from Bumrah and Zadran ended up edging it straight to KL Rahul behind the stumps. Bumrah pointed his finger towards his temple - same way that Rashford celebrates.
Shardul Thakur impressed both fans and experts alike with a brilliant catch to dismiss Rahmanullah Gurbaz during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and Afghanistan on Wednesday. During the 13th over of the Afghanistan innings, Gurbaz was taken aback by a short ball from Hardik Pandya and he ended up miscuing his shot towards the deep backward square leg boundary. Shardul anticipated the catch brilliantly as he took it calmly, flicked the ball away as he crossed the boundary line and came back in time to complete it properly. The crowd showed their appreciation for Shardul as celebrations erupted.
CHENNAI, India : New Zealand captain Kane Williamson will play his first match of the World Cup against Bangladesh on Friday but fast bowler Tim Southee will continue on the sidelines, the 33-year-old batter said on Thursday.
The team looking after Kane Williamson post his knee injury relied a lot on data from injuries in other sports to get him back in shape for the ICC World Cup, the premier New Zealand batter said on Thursday. The skipper will be playing his first match of the World Cup in Chennai on Friday, having recovered from a surgery to treat a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. "A lot of data around it, mainly from other sports that were relied on and different strength numbers and heights and jumping and just heaps and heaps of different bits," Williamson said on the eve of their match against Bangladesh.
