Sometimes a captain of a cricket team gets a decision wrong. It happened to Sri Lanka’s captain, Dasun Shanaka, in the Asia Cup Final last Sunday in Colombo. He won the toss and chose to bat under clear skies. Before play could start, rain arrived, causing a 40-minute delay.
Kriket putri Indonesia dipaksa menerima kekalahan di Asian Games 2023. Laju mereka dihentikan panitia penyelenggara yang memutuskan Pakistan sebagai pemenang dari laga perempatfinal.
India have been drawn to play Pakistan in the World Group I Play-offs and the Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) on Thursday made it clear that it won't agree to shift their home tie to a neutral venue this time. India had drawn Pakistan in 2019 also but due to "security concerns" the Asia/Oceania Group I tie was shifted to Kazakhstan, a neutral venue. As a mark of protest, Pakistan's top players Aisam-ul-haq Qureshi and Aqeel Khan had opted not to play the tie in which rookies Mohammed Shoaib, Huzaifa Abdul Rehman and Yousaf Khalil competed for them.
It was not a happy outing for Pakistan at the Asia Cup 2023 as the Babar Azam-led side failed to reach the final after losing to Sri Lanka and India at the Super 4 stage. While the match against Sri Lanka was a close-fought encounter and the result was decided on the very last ball, they were defeated quite comprehensively by India. Pakistan were completely outplayed in all departments as Virat Kohli and KL Rahul slammed brilliant centuries while Kuldeep Yadav weaved his spin magic to clinch the encounter.

Shreyas Iyer's dodgy match-fitness will be put to ultimate test while Suryakumar Yadav's desperation to alter a dismal ODI record adds a fascinating sub-text to India's three-game series against Australia, which also serves as final dress rehearsal before the World Cup, beginning next month. With pillars of Indian batting – skipper Rohit Sharma and the brilliant Virat Kohli -- resting for the first two games along with lead spinner Kuldeep Yadav and premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya, it will be head coach Rahul Dravid's final chance to assess his bench strength.
The Cricket World Cup is just round the corner with all the teams in the final stages of their preparation. Teams like Australia and Netherlands have already arrived in India for the 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup which starts from October 5. The final of the mega-event will be played on November 19. The Cricket World Cup at home is a great opportunity for the Indian cricket team to end their decade-long drought of clinching an ICC trophy. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team will be playing against Australia in a three match series starting on Friday.
Pakistan did not have a good outing in the Asia Cup 2023 as the Babar Azam-led side failed to reach the final after two defeats in the Super 4 stage. While the loss against Sri Lanka came after a close-fought encounter that was decided on the last ball, they were completely outplayed by India who beat them by 228 runs. It was a disappointing batting and bowling performance from the side and former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal believes that if they do not change their mentality before the Cricket World Cup 2023, they can get "thrashed badly" by the other teams and especially rivals India.
