Two days after a storm punctured their hopes of taking their biggest scalp to date, UAE’s women will be back in action at the Asia Cup in Bangladesh when they face India.
Cricket Australia (CA) on Monday apologised to survivors of child sexual abuse within the sport in the country, saying the Board is exploring ways to help victims. CA Chair Dr Lachlan Henderson, in a statement, labelled historic sexual abuse as an "appalling issue." Jamie Mitchell, a former Australia Under-19 cricketer had alleged early this year that he was "sexually abused" by team officials during the tour of Sri Lanka in 1985.
India take on Malaysia in their second match of the Women's Asia Cup on Monday. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side, who beat Sri Lanka in their first match, will look to put away the minnows and continue their winning momentum. Malaysia, meanwhile, lost to Pakistan in their opener in the tournament after being restricted to 57/9. For India, the focus in the batting department will be on Shafali Verma, who has ben woefully out of form. If the young opener can find her touch again, India will feel much more confident as the tournament goes deeper, as they already have Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues in good nick.
Shafali Verma couldn't have asked for an easier opponent to regain her mojo as a confident India get ready to maul Malaysia in their second T20 match of the women's Asia Cup here on Monday. The game should serve as net session for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co against a Malaysian side that was thrashed by Pakistan by nine wickets in its opener.
An untimely storm helped consign UAE to defeat in their opening match of the Women’s Asia Cup in Bangladesh.
The game should serve as net session for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co against a Malaysian side that was thrashed by Pakistan by nine wickets in its opener. After a comfortable win against Sri Lanka, scripted by Jemimah Rodrigues, the less experienced Indian players are expected to get some game time as the team prepares for the T20 World Cup in South Africa early next year. Shafali, who has endured a dismal run, would want to come out all guns blazing and may take this opportunity to try an alternate batting approach as her natural game has not been yielding success off late.
Naman Ojha and top-class spells from Vinay Kumar and Abhimanyu Mithun helped India Legends clinch their second-straight Road Safety World Series title by defeating Sri Lanka Legends by 33 runs in final at Raipur on Saturday. In the first innings, India put up a huge 195/6 in 20 overs, thanks to a superb 108* off 71 balls by Naman Ojha. Nuwan Kulasekara (3/29) led the Sri Lankan bowling charts with his spell that provided both economy and key wickets. Chasing 196, it was only Ishan Jayaratne (51) who was able to provide a powerful resistance against Indian bowlers, led by Vinay Kumar (3/38).
Legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar failed to weave his magic with the bat in the final match of the Road Safety World Series on Saturday. Coming in to open the batting with Naman Ojha for India Legends in Raipur, Tendulkar fell for a first-ball duck off the bowling of former international and Sri Lanka Legends pacer Nuwan Kulasekara. The right-arm pacer bowled a beautiful delivery on a good length outside off-stump to Tendulkar. The ball swung into Tendulkar and found a big gap between his bat and pad to eventually rattle the stumps.
