New Zealand completed a 3-0 Twenty20 series whitewash over Ireland after Glenn Phillips' unbeaten half-century helped secure a six-wicket success following a gripping climax in Belfast.
Glenn Phillips' quick-fire 69 and four wickets from Lockie Ferguson inspired New Zealand's 31-run win over Ireland in their opening Twenty20 international on Monday. Phillips was unbeaten in his 52-ball innings as he smashed seven boundaries in New Zealand's total of 173 for eight. Jimmy Neesham kept the runs flowing for New Zealand with a rapid 29 which included a towering six into the sightscreen.
Ever since New Zealand legend Brendon McCullum took over as the head coach of the England men's Test team last month, 'Bazball' has become the buzzword among cricket fans. Playing an aggressive brand of cricket, England notched a commanding 3-0 win over New Zealand at home and followed it up with a record chase against India in the rescheduled 5th Test. While McCullum himself has labelled it a "silly term", 'Bazball' is surely becoming a part of cricketing lingo, especially when it comes to playing aggressive knocks in red-ball cricket.
On Day 3 of the rescheduled fifth Test between India and England at Edgbaston, Jonny Bairstow looked to be struggling as Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah zipped the ball around. What ensued was a feisty exchange as Virat Kohli began to sledge him. Bairstow reacted as well as one could, and switched gears to put the pressure right back on the bowlers. He smashed a 119-ball century, hitting 14 fours and two sixes to help take England from 84/5 to 284.
Liam Livingstone hit 75 to set Lancashire up for a 17-run victory over Derbyshire at Emirates Old Trafford in the Vitality Blast.
A stupendous fielding effort rarely goes unnoticed on the cricket field. However, what England's Rob Keogh achieved for Northamptonshire Steelbacks in their T20 Blast match against Leicestershire Foxes was much more than that. His one-handed effort to dismiss Rishi Patel off Chinaman bowler Freddie Heldreich was so brilliant that the Vitality T20 Blast tweeted: "Quite possibly one of the best catches you'll ever see @RobKeogh91, take a bow." The catch happened in the 12th over of the match. With Leicestershire chasing a huge target of 228, their No. 5 right-handed batter Rishi Patel went for an expansive hoick off Heldreich.
Live Score Updates From Qualifier 1 of IPL 2022 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals: Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will be squaring off against each other in Qualifier 1 of the ongoing IPL 2022 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat had finished the league stage at the top of the table while Rajasthan followed closely behind at second. It would be interesting to see what combinations both teams field on the park and all eyes would be on Kolkata's weather as it has rained in small spells in the city. If the match is not possible because of rain, then the winner would be decided through a Super Over and if there is no time for even that, then Gujarat would go directly to the winner on the basis of finishing higher in the points table.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 68 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. This will be RR's last group stage game of IPL 2022 and they will look to end the league stage on a high against MS Dhoni-led CSK. Skipper Sanju Samson could be tempted to bring in the services of batter Rassie van der Dussen in place of a struggling James Neesham in their playing XI to bolster batting depth.
