Mitchell Starc said he has not deviated from his game plan in over a decade and after taking five wickets against India on Sunday there seems little reason to change things as Australia ramp up their preparations for this year's World Cup.
Former Australia skipper Aaron Finch will captain the San Francisco Unicorns in the inaugural edition of the United States' new Twenty20 tournament, while South Africa's Quinton de Kock will play for the Seattle Orcas.
Mitchell Starc played a key role in orchestrating India's worst defeat in the second ODI match at YS Raja Reddy Cricket Stadium. Starc showed signs of his best when picking up the superb figures of 5/53 in a Player of the Match performance in Australia's 10-wicket romp over India in Visakhapatnam on Sunday. He now has eight scalps in total from the opening two matches of the three-game series. The pacer's ability to strike during the Powerplay has been on show in India, with four of Starc's wickets in the pivotal second match of the series coming during a blistering opening spell that put the hosts immediately on the back foot after they were sent into bat first by stand-in Australia captain Steve Smith.
Hailed as the finest T20 batter in the world by many, Suryakumar Yadav finds himself in the line of fire after being dismissed for first-ball ducks in the first and the second ODIs against Australia. It was pacer Mitchell Starc who got the better of him on both occasions. While Surya's form in ODIs is up for debate among fans and experts, veteran wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik doesn't feel Surya's place needs to be scrutinised. In fact, it is Mitchell Starc who earned the ultimate praise from the Indian cricketer, suggesting he is the 'best white-ball pacer in the world'.
Bangladesh vs Ireland, 2nd ODI, Live: Bangladesh will be squaring off against Ireland in the second ODI of the three-match series, at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Monday. The hosts have taken 1-0 lead in the series after registering a victory by 183 runs in the first ODI. Shakib Al Hasan and debutant Towhid Hridoy both narrowly missed centuries but still guided Bangladesh to their highest ever ODI score of 338-8 after the tourists put them in to bat. Ebadot Hossain led the reply with 4-42 and left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed chipped in with 3-42 to bowl out Ireland for 155 runs just shy of 31 overs. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Former Indian cricket team star Suresh Raina showered massive praise on Gujarat Titans all-rounder Deepak Hooda and backed him to play the same role that Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag used to play as an all-rounder for the national team. In a recent interaction, Raina said that the all-round capability of Hooda is something that can help India in the long run and even said that his contributions can make life easy for skipper Rohit Sharma in the upcoming ICC World Cup which will be held in India.
Despite a horrible start to the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2023 campaign, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) aren't all out of the playoffs race. The franchise lost its first five matches of the inaugural season of the WPL before registering two back-to-back wins. The situation is such that they are placed 4th on the points table at present and need to win their last match at all costs in order to remain in the hunt for the playoffs. With Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals already through, there's just one place left in the next round of the tournament.
Team India kick-started the three-match ODI series with a brilliant five-wicket win in the first match on Friday. Opted to bowl first, the hosts restricted Australia at 188 after Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami scalped three wickets each. Later, Team India suffered an early loss of wickets as they were five down with only 83 runs on the board. It was then KL Rahul, who stood up and played an unbeaten knock of 75 runs off 91 balls and took the Hardik Pandya-led side across the line, in just 39.5 overs. Rahul's magnificent knock left everyone utterly impressed as the batter was earlier going through a lean patch and had lost his place in the team, after back-to-back failures.
