Steve Smith guided Australia to a healthy position as they reached 60-2 at stumps on the third day of the second Test against the West Indies in Brisbane on Saturday. Australia need another 156 runs for victory to take a clean sweep of the two-Test series with eight wickets in hand. At stumps, Smith was on 33 with a struggling Cameron Green alongside him on 9. Australia's hopes of taking the win, however, may be hampered by predicted heavy rain for the next two days.
West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews on Wednesday was named the ICC Women's T20I Cricketer of the Year and became just the second women's cricketer from the Caribbean to get the honour. Before Matthews, former skipper Stafanie Taylor was crowned with the coveted accolade in 2015. Matthews was sensational with her skills from the bat and the ball. She defeated competition from Australia's Ellyse Perry, England's Sophie Ecclestone, and Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu. "I have been really blessed to have a pretty good year with West Indies wearing those colours, performing really well and helping the team," Matthews said, according to ICC.
MELBOURNE : Australia took a little over two days to wrap up victory in the series opener in Adelaide and a similar fate could befall West Indies in the day-night second and final test in Brisbane beginning on Thursday.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday announced the Women's T20I Team of the Year for 2023 which included Indian batting all-rounder Deepti Sharma. Deepti Sharma was the only India included in the team. Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu is to lead the squad. The 33-year-old had a stellar 2023, she started the year with a 'Player of the Match' performance during the Women's T20 World Cup after hitting 68 runs from 50 balls which helped the island country beat South Africa by three runs.
MELBOURNE : Australia opener Usman Khawaja appears doubtful for the second test against West Indies after sustaining a blow on Friday to his jaw in the series opener in Adelaide.
An inspired spell of bowling from Josh Hazlewood and a brilliant attacking century from Travis Head put Australia in complete control of the first Test against the West Indies in Adelaide on Thursday. After Head smashed 119 from 134 balls to take Australia to 283 and a first-innings lead of 95, Hazlewood took four wickets for just two runs at the start of the West Indies second innings to deal a hammer blow to the visitors. At stumps on the second day, the West Indies were 73-6, still 22 runs from making Australia bat again. Joshua Da Silva was not out 17, with Justin Greaves dismissed off the last ball of the day's play.
