Intikhab Alam at Kartarpur Sahib. The 76-year-old spin great from India had been longing to making the trip across the border ever since the Kartarpur Corridor opened in November 2019 and pay his respects at the final resting place of Guru Nanak. But Covid struck and then his health deteriorated as he underwent a heart surgery which was followed by a brain surgery last year.
It isn't often that Pakistan and India play each other on the international circuit but comparisons between the players of the two teams and their results often keep fans engaged on social media. As fans turned the heat on Pakistan following their failures in the Asia Cup 2022 and the T20I series against England, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ramiz Raja highlighted the different scales on which Pakistan and their arch-rivals India are measured.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar's debut in what was the last bilateral series between India and Pakistan, seems like yesterday. The very second delivery of his international career swung away and after pitching viciously tailed in to disturb opener Nasir Jamshed's timber. Bhuvneshwar has not bowled such a delivery in the last two years. There were some good spells but against good teams, that magic or 'x-factor' has been distinctly missing.
The Indian team gave ample game time to its fringe players, making as many as eight changes in the last two games, but against Pakistan -- one of title contenders -- the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side is expected to have a full strength team on the field. Pakistan are coming into the contest after suffering a shock four-wicket defeat at the hands of minnows Thailand on Thursday. The two sides currently occupy the top two spot in the points table with India, who have won three games on the trot, leading the table.
Half-century from Natthakan Chantham helped Thailand register their first-ever victory against Pakistan by four wickets in their Asia Cup match at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. With this win, Thailand have climbed to the fifth position in the Asia Cup points table, with two points and one victory in three matches. Pakistan are in the second position in the points table with four points and two victories in three matches. In the first innings, Pakistan posted 116/5 in 20 overs. Sidra Ameen scored a brilliant half-century, scoring 56 off 64 balls. Sornnarin Tippoch took 2/20 in her quota of four overs. Other bowlers also bowled economical spells putting brakes on Pakistan's run flow. The target of 117 was chased down by Thailand with four wickets in their hand, thanks to 61 by Chantham.
With this win, Thailand has climbed to the fifth position in the Asia Cup points table, with two points and one victory in three matches. Pakistan is in the second position in the points table with four points and two victories in three matches.
Every cricketing country seems to want to win all competitions all of the time. At least this is what appears to be the case if public pronouncements by some national cricket boards are to be believed.
The Thailand women's team had a memorable day as the side managed to defeat Pakistan in the ongoing Women's Asia Cup at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Natthakan Chantham starred with the bat in hand as she scored 61 runs off just 51 balls to help Thailand beat Pakistan by four wickets. In the end, it was Nattaya Boochatham and Rosenan Kanoh who took Thailand over the line.
