Jamaica Tallawahs romp to CPL title

Brandon King smashed 83 not out to help the Jamaica Tallawahs win the Caribbean Premier League title with an eight-wicket victory over the Barbados Royals on Friday. Chasing 162 to win, the Tallawahs eased to their target with 23 balls to spare as King hit 13 fours and two sixes in his 50-ball innnings. It was the team's third CPL triumph, but first since 2016, and left the Royals on two titles. King's international teammate Shamarh Brooks made a 33-ball 47 as the pair put on 86 for the second wicket.

India vs South Africa: It's difficult to defend when Suryakumar Yadav attacks bowlers, says Wayne Parnell

Suryakumar Yadav's incredibly strong and powerful batting has made him one of the most feared T20 batters at the moment, and South African all-rounder Wayne Parnell says the bowlers will have to stay strong and focussed while tackling him. Surya slammed a 33-ball 50 in India's eight-wicket win over South Africa on a tricky track in the series-opener. "Personally, from what I've watched in the last couple of months, I think he's probably the best T20 batters at the moment. He scores 360-degree, which is very difficult for bowlers to defend," Parnell said on the eve of the second and penultimate T20I of the series. "It's about being strong and focussed on each ball. He's allowed to play good shots, but the other day he was lucky as well. He's certainly a guy whom I enjoyed watching the last couple of months. He's certainly playing good cricket," Parnell said. Parnell insisted that their flop show in the first T20I was an aberration and there's no need to panic before the T20 World Cup in Australia.

India vs South Africa 2nd T20I: Team India grapple with Jasprit Bumrah riddle as it chases rare series win against South Africa

From the tranquility of Thiruvananthapuram, the Team India atmosphere, suddenly, wears a chaotic look -- much like the traffic of Guwahati, thrown out of gear in the midst of Durga Puja rush and construction of flyovers. Bumrah was expected to play a key role in Indian team's campaign in the Australian conditions but his "back stress fracture" has ruled him out of the ICC flagship event, starting in three weeks' time. The ongoing series was originally planned as the final tune-up for Rahul Dravid's team but Bumrah's absence from the remaining two T20Is has now thrown more questions than answers. Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Siraj have been added to the squad as injury replacements but they do not figure in the World Cup-bound squad, as of now.

Pakistan vs England 6th T20I: Swashbuckling Phil Salt spices up England's series-levelling win

The England opener clobbered three sixes and 13 fours in the third fastest half century by an England batter in the shorter format to help his team chase down a target of 170 in just 14.3 overs. Salt's fiery knock overshadowed Babar Azam's 59-ball 87 not out that lifted the home team to 169-6 and saw Pakistan skipper equalling India star Virat Kohli's record of the fastest man to 3,000 runs in cricket's shortest format. England's victory tied the seven-match series 3-3 with an intriguing final match in Lahore on Sunday.

India vs South Africa: Indian pacers look to impress in Jasprit Bumrah's absence as Guwahati gears up for 2nd T20I

Umesh Yadav, bowled their hearts out at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati ahead of the second match on Sunday. Bumrah, in all likelihood, is set to miss the upcoming T20 World Cup Down Under and that possibility was enough to add extra fuel to the pace duo’s efforts in hot and humid condition. Not in the original squad for the big-ticket event, Siraj and Yadav breathed fire at the nets during an optional practice session on Friday.
