There was a roar from the packed Newlands crowd on Sunday when, ahead of the T20 World Cup final between the Proteas and Australia, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi walked out onto the field with the tournament trophy in hand.
The Gujarat Giants, owned by Adani Group are all set for the inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League. The team is bringing on board as their captain Beth Mooney, one of the most consistent Australian players, and Indian off-spinner and all-rounder Sneh Rana as the vice-captain. One of the most dominating wicket-keeper-batters in the game, Mooney and her team successfully brought home the Women's T20 World Cup in 2018, 2020 and 2023 along with the Women's ODI World Cup in 2022 and the Gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Isle of Man were skittled out for 10, the lowest total in men's T20Is by Spain on Sunday as seven players made ducks. Isle of Man dropped below Sydney Thunder, who earlier this year in the Big Bash League (BBL) succumbed to the Adelaide Strikers for 15 all out in 5.5 overs. When Turkey was bowled out for 21 against the Czech Republic in 2019, they previously held the record for the lowest T20 scoring.
India suffered a heart-breaking loss against Australia in the semi-final of the Women's T20 World Cup. Chasing a 173-run target, India were in a strong position when skipper Harmanpreet Kaur got run out. The match turned dramatically as Harmanpreet departed just 40 runs needed off 32 balls. Kaur batted superbly to make 52 before she hit a ball to deep midwicket and seemed set to complete a comfortable two runs only for her bat to jab into the turf just short of the crease. Kaur threw her bat angrily as she walked off. That dismissal pegged back India ultimately.
India wicket-keeper batter KS Bharat has made his presence felt in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with the bat as well as behind the stumps. On the other hand, KL Rahul has had a series to forget against Australia. His performance in this series has not helped his selection at all. With the likes of Shubhman Gill warming the bench, there have been questions about whether the youngster should be given a chance ahead of KL Rahul or not. On this Bharat made his stance clear "That is team management's call, not mine." India will play their third match against Australia starting on March 1 at Holkar Stadium.
The wickets so far in the Border-Gavaskar trophy have not been unplayable but require the batters to trust their defence, said India wicketkeeper K S Bharat on Monday. Having been part of the Test side for past 12 months, Bharat finally got to make his debut in the ongoing series with Rishabh Pant recovering from the injuries he sustained during a car accident in December. Bharat was impressive behind the stumps in the first two Tests and played a morale- boosting knock in India's chase of 115 in Delhi.
There were no definite cues but it seemed like an audition when the struggling K L Rahul and the much younger Shubman Gill batted simultaneously during a training session on Monday ahead of the third Test against Australia. Stripped of India vice-captaincy following his prolonged lean patch in the five-day format, Rahul put in the hard yards in what could possibly be the final training session before the game, beginning Wednesday.
Where will the 2023 Asia Cup happen? That is the question that is raging in the Asian cricket circles. The Asia Cup was initially allotted to Pakistan and was scheduled in September this year but BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, who is also the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman, had announced last October that India will not travel to Pakistan. After that announcement, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement that If India don't travel for Asia Cup, Pakistan may not travel for the 2023 ODI World Cup.
