India vs South Africa: I have to be a step ahead of the batters, says Harshal Patel
Harshal Patel wants slower pitches, bigger groundsRAJKOT: Seamer Harshal Patel, who played a big part in India's win in Visakhapatnam and is fast emerging as a mainstay in T20Is, feels execution is key to remain "one step ahead" of the batters in this particular format. "As a bowler my job is to stay one step ahead of batsmen. At the end of the day, you can have 15 plans, but on a particular day, in a pressure situation, if you don't go out and execute with confidence, things won't fall in place. My focus is on trying to execute the best possible delivery at that point in time," said Patel after the Indian team's practice session at the Saurashtra Cricket Association stadium here.
India vs South Africa, 4th T20I: Resurgent India look to draw level and keep series alive against South Africa
Pressure on Pant to deliver in must-win game for IndiaRAJKOT: With their mood lifted after a convincing 48-run win over South Africa in the third T20I at Visakhapatnam, a resurgent India will look to sustain the momentum at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Friday.

The traditional featherbed of a pitch here promises an exciting battle. It has rained sporadically for the past few days, with the sun playing hide and seek, but the good news is: as per the weather forecast for Friday, rain will stay away.
WI vs BAN 1st Test: Bangladesh crash to 103 all out as West Indies dominate
Compounding their woes after an innings which featured six ducks -- only the seventh time that has occurred in the 145-year history of Test cricket -- was Kraigg Brathwaite being dropped before he had scored with the home captain unbeaten on 42 as they crawled to the close of play at 95 for two in reply. Jayden Seales and Alzarri Joseph were the most successful West Indies bowlers with identical figures of three for 33. However, it was double strikes by Kemar Roach and Kyle Mayers which took the early spotlight to have Bangladesh tottering at 45 for six in the morning. Returning captain Shakib Al Hasan then played an adventurous innings of 51 to ensure his team avoided a debacle similar to when they were routed for 43 at the same venue at the start of the 2018 series.
