Cricket's world governing body said Tuesday that a review of last week's second Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand had found it found the pitch "unsatisfactory". Fifteen wickets fell on the opening day of the match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, with neither side making more than 180 in an innings. New Zealand won the Test to level the two-match series 1-1 on Saturday but captain Tim Southee afterwards criticised the pitch as the "worst wicket" he had come across in his long career.

After rain washed out the first T20I, it was time for some top-notch cricket action for the Indian cricket team and the South Africa cricket team in the second T20I in Gqeberha on Tuesday. South Africa captain Aiden Markram won the toss and opted to field first against India in the second T20I of the three-match series at the St George's Park. The opening game of the series was abandoned due to rain at Kingsmead in Durban on Sunday. The sell-out crowd had to walk back to their homes as the rain gods didn't allow the coin to be tossed.
With the Indian women's team lacking enough red-ball exposure, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana said her young teammates are picking the brains of new head coach Amol Muzumdar to get into red-ball mindset ahead of the one-off Test against England. Two years ago, India had played a couple of Tests in England and Australia in June and September with both the four-day games ending in draws. In comparison, England have had a more recent experience of playing red-ball cricket as their last game was against Australia in the Women's Ashes in June this year.
