South Africa captain Temba Bavuma was pleased with his team's clinical display with the bat after defeating New Zealand by 190 runs on Wednesday at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Proteas came out on top against close competitors New Zealand, recording their first win over the Blackcaps since 1999 in the men's World Cup. Bavuma lavished praise on centurions Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen for their clinical display with the bat. To assist the Proteas win their sixth game in seven, De Kock blasted his fourth century of the World Cup, and Van der Dussen also slammed a ton.
Former Indian cricket team captain MS Dhoni has often stated that ‘Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar Hoon' is one of his favourite songs and in a video that has been doing the rounds on social media, he can be seen singing along to the song on stage. This was the very song that Dhoni used in a video showcasing some of his most special moments on the cricket field while announcing his retirement in 2020. The fans were left emotional after seeing Dhoni sing the same song on stage and many users took to social media to praise him and express their love for both Dhoni and the legendary song.
Quinton de Kock and Rassie Van der Dussen brought cricket back to prominence in South Africa amid the euphoria over the country's epic triumph in rugby, their scintillating hundreds ensuring a 190-run hammering of New Zealand in the World Cup in Pune on Wednesday. De Kock (114 off 116 balls) hit his fourth century of the tournament to go level with Kumar Sangakkara who achieved the feat in the 2015 edition, while Van der Dussen blazed away to a 118-ball 133 as South Africa racked up an imposing 357 for four after being asked to bat first.
The unease in his voice was palpable as India skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday expressed deep concern about the vitiated air quality in Indian cities, saying the current situation is not ideal and it is important that future generations "get to live without fear". As is the scenario every winter, a deadly mix of fog and smoke has adversely affected Mumbai and Delhi -- the cities hosting World Cup matches. There are several factors contributing to the worsening air quality and BCCI swinging to action has announced that it won't allow display of fireworks during the remaining World Cup games in Delhi and Mumbai.
Eoin Morgan has distanced himself from the England white-ball coach's job and says Matthew Mott should be given more time.
