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.
