BENGALURU : India vice-captain Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the rest of the World Cup after the all-rounder sustained an ankle injury last month, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Saturday as it approved Prasidh Krishna as his replacement.
BENGALURU : Pakistan skipper Babar Azam won the toss and elected to bowl in their high-stakes World Cup match with New Zealand, who welcomed back fit-again captain Kane Williamson on Saturday.
It has not been an impressive campaign for the Pakistan cricket team at the Cricket World Cup 2023 till now. They have won three out of their seven matches and the Babar Azam-led side face a tough uphill battle for semi-final qualification. While the players and the Pakistan Cricket Board have come under a lot of pressure for the display, one of the major points made by fans and experts revolve around the food dish 'biryani'. Since coming to India, Pakistan cricketers have indulged in biryani from various cities and that has made its way into criticism from different corners following some dismal on-field performances.
Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi dedicated his team's World Cup victory over the Netherlands on Friday to "struggling refugees" at home and insisted he is still "dreaming" of reaching the semi-finals. Afghanistan swept to a seven-wicket triumph with 111 balls to spare to record a fourth win at the tournament after already shocking defending champions England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. With two group games left, they have eight points, the same as Australia and New Zealand although their rivals boast better net run rates.
New Zealand vs Pakistan Live Updates, Cricket World Cup 2023: An injury-tormented New Zealand, further weakened by the exit of Matt Henry, seek resurgence while Pakistan need a continuation of their recent resurrection, and that subtext of desperation could turn their crucial World Cup match into a classic at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Saturday. The fortunes of New Zealand and Pakistan went through sharp curves after a bright beginning, leaving them in a tight spot in the race to the semifinals of the quadrennial big bash.
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023 due to an ankle injury, the International Cricket Council confirmed on Saturday. Hardik twisted his ankle during India's match against Bangladesh at the MCA Stadium in Pune on October 19. He did not take part in India's matches against New Zealand, England and Sri Lanka, respectively. Prasidh Krishna has been named as Hardik's replacement in India's squad.
Ottawa's Gabriela Dabrowski and partner Erin Routliffe of New Zealand finished the women's doubles group stage at the WTA Finals with a perfect record after defeating the Czech duo of Katerina Siniakova and Barbora Krejcikova 6-4, 7-5 on Friday in Cancun, Mexico.
With just 13 members available out of the 15-man squad for their World Cup match against England, Australian captain Pat Cummins on Friday said teams should be allowed to travel with larger squads considering the tournament's duration. Looking to qualify for the semifinals, Australia will miss the services of star players Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh in Saturday's contest against their traditional rivals. Maxwell suffered a freak injury during a game of golf while Marsh has returned home for personal reasons, and no definite timeline is marked for his return to action. Maxwell, however, is likely to regain full fitness soon.
