"Played Badminton": Ex-Star Slams Pak's Poor Display vs NZ That Knocked India Out Of Women's T20 WC

Both Pakistan and India are out of the Women's T20 World Cup from the group stage. India's hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals hinged of Pakistan's match against New Zealand. Had Pakistan won the match, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India would have entered the last four stage. Pakistan restricted New Zealand in 110/6 in 20 overs but then got out for just 56 - the second lowest total in the history of Women's T20 World Cup. What was even worse that Pakistan dropped at least eight catches.

India's Likely XI In 1st Test vs New Zealand: Injured Shubman Gill Out And Sarfaraz Khan In?

What will be the likely XI of India vs New Zealand in first Test of the three-match series starting in Bengaluru on Wednesday? While the line-up looked settled, an India Today report said that Shubman Gill is feeling pain on his shoulder and neck. If Gill does not play, there might be some problem in having a settled XI. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, the torchbearers of India's transition phase, will have to be the team's driving force in its quest to lord over an unsettled New Zealand when the two sides square off in a three-Test series, beginning on Wednesday. The baton has not been completely passed, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are certainly running their last lap and these two young superstars will have to show that they can carry forward the legacy of the titans.

Tom Latham Looking Forward To Challenge Of Beating 'Well-Rounded' India

New Zealand captain Tom Latham on Tuesday conceded that beating a “well-rounded” India would be an enormous task but said his team is ready to face the challenge over the course of a three-match Test series, beginning from Wednesday. The presence of a host of experienced batters and bowlers, Latham said, makes India a formidable opponent. “You obviously look at the spinners when you come over these conditions. But they've got an equally good seam attack in Bumrah, Siraj, Akash Deep, who's played the last couple of Tests against Bangladesh. So just a well-rounded side,” Latham said in the pre-match press meet on Tuesday.

Mithali Raj's Bombshell On Harmanpreet Kaur-Led India's Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Exit, Says 'No Growth...'

Former India captain Mithali Raj on Tuesday attributed the national team's underwhelming performance in the Women's T20 World Cup to lack of growth across departments over the past three years. It was the first time under Harmanpreet Kaur's long captaincy tenure that India failed to qualify for the knockouts of the ICC showpiece, extending the team's title-less run in world events and putting serious question marks over her future as skipper. Speaking to PTI from Dubai, Mithali said the team's downfall was a result of not getting used to the conditions in the UAE quick enough, lack of role clarity in the batting department, untested bench strength, and below-par fielding.

"Babar Azam, Virat Kohli Shouldn't Be Mentioned In Same Line": Ravichandran Ashwin Ends Debate 'Once And For All'

When Babar Azam was not picked for Pakistan's second Test against England, Fakhar Zaman commented that had it been Virat Kohli, he would not have been droped despite going through a lean patch. Babar's last 50+ score in the Test format came back in December 2022, and in his last 17 Test innings, he averages just 20.70. In his last eight innings on home soil, where runs have flowed for others, Babar has averaged just 18.75.

"Pressure Was There But...": Pakistan Star Kamran Ghulam's Bombastic Take On Replacing Babar Azam

Pakistan batter Kamran Ghulam, who on Tuesday scored a resolute century on Test debut, said there was immense pressure on him to perform after taking Babar Azam's place in the team, adding that his perseverance in domestic cricket for the last four years had finally paid off. Ghulam's ton came on a tricky recycled wicket here as Pakistan scored 259 for 5 at stumps on Day 1 of the second Test against England. Replacing Babar at No. 4, Ghulam made a patient 118 off 224 balls and became the 13th Pakistan batsman to score a century on Test debut and the first to do so against England. "It has been frustrating waiting for nearly four years to finally get a chance to play for Pakistan. I had so much passion and wanted to do well when I got the chance," Kamran told the media.
