Australia got their tactics and team selection all wrong in Thursday's World Cup defeat by South Africa and the five-times champions must quickly get their act together if they are to avoid a group-stage exit, said former skipper Michael Clarke.
Ahead of India's blockbuster clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on Saturday, fans have threatened to boycott the match on social media due to Pakistan's involvement in terrorism, once again sparking a 'Boycott' trend and debate that if sports and politics/international relations can be kept separate. Earlier on September 13, an Indian Army Colonel commanding a Rashtriya Rifles Unit along with a Major and a Deputy Superintendent of Police were killed in a gunfight with terrorists in the Kokernag area of Kashmir's Anantnag district.
Quinton de Kock hit his second successive century at the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Thursday as South Africa made 311-7 in their group game against sloppy five-time champions Australia who dropped five catches. The 30-year-old De Kock reached his 19th ODI hundred off 90 balls with eight fours and five sixes having also made a century in South Africa's opening win over Sri Lanka. De Kock, who will retire from international cricket at the end of the tournament, was batting in familiar surroundings at the Ekana Stadium where he plays in the IPL for the Lucknow Super Giants.
New Zealand know all about the threat posed by Bangladesh after playing the Asian side in the build-up to the Cricket World Cup, opener Devon Conway said ahead of the sides' meeting in Chennai later on Friday.
New Zealand aim to take another step in the semi-finals of the World Cup when they face Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After sitting out the first two games, Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson said that he will feature in the match at the Chepauk. While New Zealand have registered two wins in two games so far, Bangladesh have one win and one loss in the tournament. With Rachin Ravindra in breathtaking form so far in the tournament, Mark Chapman is likely to make way for Williamson.
Ahead of representing his country in coloured cricket for the first time before his home crowd, and, that, too, in the ongoing World Cup against traditional rivals Pakistan, India's bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah said he backs his strengths and skills and doesn't think much about the results. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the high-octane clash with Pakistan on Saturday, the tearaway said during India's previous match against Afghanistan, the ball was coming really well on the bat from the very first over, which is why the pacers tried to hit hard lengths in a bid to induce batters into playing "difficult shots".
The Australian camp was not happy with the third umpire's decision to rule Marcus Stoinis out in the 134-run defeat to South Africa in the World Cup, with batter Marnus Labuschagne and coach Andrew McDonald saying they will seek clarity from the ICC. Stoinis was adjudged out caught behind in the 18th over off a Kagiso Rabada delivery after South Africa reviewed the decision. The Ultra edge showed a spike, as the ball touched Stoinis' bottom hand. But what made things confusing was that Stoinis' top hand left the bat and whether the top and bottom hand were both connected to the bat was debatable.
Indian cricket team legend Sunil Gavaskar was all praise for Rohit Sharma after the veteran batter slammed a brilliant century to guide his team to victory over Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Wednesday. Rohit failed to score big against Australia in the tournament opener but the India skipper was in fine form against Afghanistan as he went on to score 131 off 84 deliveries. Gavaskar pointed out that Rohit has missed out on a number of centuries in the recent past and it was mainly down to his aggressive demeanor that is useful for the team. However, ahead of the crucial clash against Pakistan, a dominant century will do a world of good for the Indian cricket team star.
