Pakistan captain Babar Azam showed great form in the seven-match T20I series against England as he hit 285 runs in seven games. He also played an unbeaten knock of 110 not out in the second T20I. However, former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad has advised Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to ask Babar if captaincy is taking a toll him. He also said that the communication should be clear between Babar and PCB.
MADRID: It was not the return to action that Karim Benzema had hoped for.
SEOUL, South Korea: Gaining the right to host next year’s Under-20 World Cup was a major milestone in Indonesia’s soccer development, raising hopes that a successful tournament would turn around long-standing problems that have blighted the sport in this country of 277 million people. The death of at least 125 people at a league game between host Arema FC of East Java’s Malang city and Persebaya Surabaya on Saturday is a tragic reminder, however, that Indonesia is one of the most dangerous countries in which to attend a game. “Do remember that the FIFA U-20 World Cup will be the worldwide spotlight since the event will be joined by 24 countries from five continents,” Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo said last month as he pushed for thorough preparations for the tournament. Since Saturday, the domestic league has been suspended. Widodo has ordered the sports minister, the national police chief and the soccer federation to conduct a thorough investigation into the deadly stadium crush. Indonesia was the first Asian team ever to play at a World Cup — participating in 1938 as Dutch East Indies — but despite an undoubted national passion for the sport, it has never returned to the global stage because of years of corruption, violence and mismanagement. Data from Indonesia’s soccer watchdog, Save Our Soccer, showed 78 people have died in game-related incidents over the past 28 years.
Pakistan by 67 runs in Lahore on Sunday to win the seven-match T20 international series 4-3. Malan hit a 47-ball 78 not out and was ably supported by Harry Brook (46 not out) and Ben Duckett (30) to lift England to 209-3 in 20 overs. The visitors then restricted the home team to 142-8 to end their first tour to Pakistan in 17 years with a series victory. England won the first, third, sixth and seventh games while Pakistan won the second, fourth and fifth. The result denied Pakistan their first T20I multi-game series win over England, who have won five while drawing the other two.
India's opening duo of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul made it to the record books of T20Is as they broke the record of having most 50-plus partnerships in the format and most partnership runs for India in T20Is. The Indian duo achieved this feat during the second T20I of the three-match series against South Africa. Pakistan's opening pair of Babar Azam-Mohammad Rizwan held the record (14) for the most 50-plus partnerships in T20Is but were overtaken by the Indian pair of Rohit and Rahul.
JACKSON, Mississippi: Whether it was sheer confidence or remarkable resilience, Mackenzie Hughes never doubted he would win the Sanderson Farms Championship. He just never imagined how it would unfold Sunday evening.
