ICC Women's World Cup: Our top order hasn't fired, admit Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami

Mithali Raj and senior pacer Jhulan Goswami on Wednesday said top-order batters haven't been performing to the level that is expected of them but expressed hope that they would make amends soon in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup. India were bundled out for 134 by struggling defending champions England, who managed to overhaul the target in 31.2 overs with four wickets to spare in a league stage on Wednesday. This was England's first win after three consecutive losses that threw their title defence into disarray.

Women's World Cup 2022, India vs England: Inconsistent India lose to England by 4 wickets, suffer second defeat

Inconsistency returned to haunt Indian batters as they were bundled out for a meagre 134 by England, who chased down the target in 31.2 overs to record their first win in the tournament after a hat-trick of defeats. AS IT HAPPENED India got some runs on the board, thanks to previous game's centurion Smriti Mandhana, who top-scored for the side with a 35-run knock while wicketkeeper batter Richa Ghosh made 33. With wickets falling intermittently, England bowled out India in 36.2 overs. England also made a stuttering start to their chase as they lost both their openers -- Danni Wyatt (1) and Tammy Beaumont (1) -- cheaply with the scoreboard reading four for two in the third over.

Albie Morkel to aid Bangladesh big-hitters for South Africa series

Albie Morkel will join Bangladesh as power-hitting batting coach ahead of their three-match one-day international series against the Proteas, the country's cricket board said Wednesday. The short-format specialist's international career ended in 2015 after 50 Twenty20 matches, 58 ODIs and a solitary Test. He will serve as the first Bangladesh power-hitting coach with a view to helping batsmen improve their boundary clearances -- a weak link in the current squad's white-ball matches.
