After a successful tour of South Africa, in which they won the Toyota Challenge hosted by the Free State Cheetahs, the Emerging Ireland XV brought a ray of sunshine to some young lives in Bloemfontein.
Ravichandran Ashwin feels the bigger boundaries in Australia will give the bowlers liberty to attack unlike smaller Indian grounds where one is forced to employ defensive tactics. India will be based in Perth for a week before they move to Brisbane for the ICC warm-up games ahead of the World Cup opener against Pakistan in Melbourne on October 23. Ashwin, who did not bowl in India's first warm up game against Western Australia on Monday, had also seen the England-Australia game here on Sunday alongside some of his teammates.
Proteas batter Aiden Markram said their regular captain Temba Bavuma was missed as they slipped to a seven-wicket defeat in the second ODI against India in Ranchi on Sunday.
Arguably the finest T20 batter in the Indian cricket team at present, Suryakumar Yadav looked in top form once again as Rohit Sharma's men took on Western Australia in a practice match at the WACA. Gearing up for the T20 World Cup, the Indian team is set to play a few practice contests, including one each against Australia and New Zealand, before the showpiece event begins. On Monday, it was Suryakumar Yadav's heroics with the bat that inspired India to a victory.

Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar feels that opposition sides will reconsider their batting strategy because of the bowling attack not having Bumrah anymore. He added that in Bumrah's absence, he expects young left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh or either of Mohammed Shami and Deepak Chahar (if drafted in as an official replacement for Bumrah) to leave their mark in the showpiece event. "There were really small signs of concern, because when Jasprit Bumrah did not play the first match (against Australia at Mohali), then he played the second game (at Nagpur), and then suddenly he was rested (Bumrah played in Hyderabad but didn't play Thiruvananthapuram match due to back complaint). You suddenly start to think whether this is serious, because he had been out on rest and rehab for a long time, and he was somebody who was given a task of strengthening," said Bangar on 'Cricket Live' show on Star Sports.
It was the fifth time in Hendricks' last six Proteas innings - across ODI and T20 formats - that he has carded a half-century.
