England's stand-in captain Ollie Pope has no doubt that Chris Woakes will expertly spearhead their pace attack in the three-test series in Pakistan beginning in Multan on Monday.
Ahead of the much-awaited clash against the arch-rivals Pakistan Women in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024, India Women batter Jemimah Rodrigues said that every game is important for Women in Blue as they lost the last game against New Zealand Women by 58 runs. The stakes are always high when India face Pakistan in international cricket and it's no different this time around with mixed fortunes for both sides in their opening group matches.
India faced a shocking 58-run defeat in their opening match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 on Friday (IST) in Dubai. Batting first, The Blackcaps posted a total of 160/4 with skipper Sophie Devine scoring an unbeaten 57. Later, Team India got bundled out for 102 as Rosemary Mair registered a four-wicket haul. During the match, a controversial moment came to light after Kiwi batter Amelia Kerr was declared not out on a run out appeal, which led to India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's animated reaction.
As the Pakistan cricket team prepares to take on England in a 3-match Test series, the Pakistan cricket team's batters have shared their inputs on the preference of the nature of the pitch. After Pakistan's 0-2 whitewash against Bangladesh at home, the batters have reportedly asked coach Jason Gillespie to instruct groundsmen on preparing a flat pitch. However, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali claimed that Gillespie wasn't happy with this request from the batters and asked them to "shut up".
The National Cricket League's Sixty Strikers has hit the United States of America market, with fans going ga-ga seeing some of the finest stars the game has produced in action. Former India batter Suresh Raina has already shown his magic on the pitch, while other international stars are also showing their blitzkrieg in the T10 format. On the sidelines of a match in the Sixty Strikers league, Pakistan's pace great Wasim Akram revealed how organiser Arun Agarwal floated the league's idea to him during the T20 World Cup 2024 (organised in the USA and West Indies). Though Akram was first skeptical due to the paucity of time to organise the league, he is now quite impressed with the way the organisers have managed to pull off a tournament of such an extent.
Former England skipper Nasser Hussain heaped praise on Brydon Carse ahead of his Test debut for the Three Lions and said that the 29-year-old has got a lot of pace. Carse will be playing maiden long-format match in the upcoming first Test match against Pakistan in Multan. Earlier on Saturday, the England Cricket Board (ECB) released a statement and announced that pacer Brydon Carse will be making his Test debut in the first Test match of the three-game series.
Bangladesh Women vs England Women Highlights: England's four-pronged spin attack on Saturday delivered a hard-fought 21-run victory over Bangladesh in their low-scoring group league opener in the Women's T20 World Cup in Sharjah. On a slow track, England emerged victorious riding on a crucial 48-run opening stand between Maia Bouchier (23 off 18 balls) and seasoned Danni Wyatt-Hodge (41 off 40 balls) since run-making became increasingly difficult as the game progressed. In reply, Bangladesh were guilty of not putting in partnerships after spilling a few catches in the first half. They were eventually restricted to 97 for seven in their allotted 20 overs. (Scorecard)
England captain Ben Stokes is still a doubtful starter for the side's first Test against Pakistan, starting on October 7 in Multan. Stokes is recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during The Hundred and missed England's 2-1 series victory over Sri Lanka, with Ollie Pope leading the team in his absence. “I think he's got to do a few more tests, but he's been doing some running and stuff. He seems to be doing well, recovering well from his injury, (but) we don't know just yet. We feel ready, whatever team comes out it will be a nice balance either way. We've got a really deep squad with plenty of options with the ball and with the bat as well,” said opener Zak Crawley to reporters after England held its first practice session.
