LUCKNOW : Sri Lanka beat the Netherlands by five wickets with 10 balls to spare on Saturday to become the final team to claim a hard-fought victory at the World Cup after Sadeera Samarawickrama anchored the chase.
Opener David Warner revealed he did not see the dropped catch which allowed him to go on and make a sensational 163 in Australia's 62-run win over Pakistan in the World Cup at Bengaluru on Friday. The 36-year-old left-hander was dropped by Usama Mir in the fifth over of the match off Shaheen Shah Afridi with his score only on 10 and Australia 22 without loss. He went on to crack a 124-ball 163 and along with Mitchell Marsh (121) put on an Australian World Cup record of 259 for the opening wicket to help his team pile up 367-9.
At the moment, Pakistan's World Cup campaign is stuck against a huge boulder primarily because of their bowlers' inability to fire as a unit, the latest setback being a 62-run defeat against Australia in Bengaluru. It was their second successive defeat in the tournament after a seven-wicket battering by India. Shaheen Shah Afridi looked to have regained his touch with a five-wicket haul, but Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali were taken apart by David Warner and Mitchell Marsh. Alarmingly, the Pakistan bowlers did not look to have a Plan B when riding on a rough sea, and their bowling coach Morne Morkel admitted to his side not building a bowling partnership.
The year is 1931 and 30,000 football fans await an epic encounter between France and England at the Olympique Yves-du-Manoir, 40 km outside of downtown Paris.
WASHINGTON: Jose Altuve smashed a three-run home run in the ninth inning to deliver defending champion Houston a dramatic 5-4 comeback victory over Texas on Friday in the Major League Baseball playoffs.
Legendary Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar was extremely critical of Babar Azam and Co after they missed multiple catches during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia on Friday. Pakistan dropped the catch of David Warner early and the veteran batter went on to hit a massive century to guide Australia to a mammoth total of 367. Warner stitched together a record opening partnership with Mitchell Marsh and it took a special five-wicket haul from Shaheen Afridi to restrict them to a total below 400. Akhtar took to social media to point out that on a pitch that was providing assistance to bowlers, the fielders needed to hold on to the chances in order to give them a boost.
New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult is relishing facing World Cup hosts India on Sunday as the tournament's only remaining unbeaten teams go head-to-head in Dharamshala.
Shaheen Afridi became the second Pakistan cricketer ever after father-in-law Shahid Afridi to claim two five-wicket hauls in ODI World Cups but his heroics were not enough to clinch the victory for his side during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia on Friday. Afridi finished with the figures of 5 for 54 and that was a major reason behind Pakistan restricting Australia to a total below 400 after a glorious start provided by openers David Warner and Mitchell Marsh. This was the second five-wicket haul for Shaheen and that booked his place in a special list of cricketers in the history of the competition.
