Proteas batter Tazmin Brits was emotional as she never imagined producing a match-winning performance to steer South Africa to their first-ever ICC Women's World Cup final.
Tazmin Brits and Ayabonga Khaka inspired a shock six-run victory for South Africa against England in their Women's T20 World Cup semi-final at Newlands in Cape Town on Friday. Brits hit 68 in a South African total of 164 for four, then held four catches, two of them exceptional, as England were restricted to 158 for eight. South Africa will meet defending champions and heavy favourites Australia in the final at the same venue on Sunday.
Former Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy doesn't want tearaway fast bowler Pat Cummins "carrying burden of captaincy". Cummins, who was appointed Test captain in November of 2021 and ODI skipper late last year, enjoys a strong winning record as captain of the Australian team. However, with Australia 0-2 down against India in the ongoing four-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Cummins' leadership credentials have come into question. The 29-year-old was also dethroned as the no. 1 bowler in Test cricket by evergreen James Anderson.
Australia all-rounder Cameron Green has declared himself "100 per cent" fit to play the third Test against India, starting from March 1 at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Green's anticipated return from a serious finger injury that has seen him miss the first two Test will be a huge boost for Australia, especially when the likes of Pat Cummins, David Warner and Josh Hazlewood have been ruled out of the third Test due to various reasons. While Cummins declared himself unavailable earlier on Friday, Warner and Hazlewood have been sent back home due to injury setbacks.
Jemimah Rodrigues is utterly disappointed after India's a semifinal exit from the Women's T20 World Cup but the top-order batter wants to count on the positives and sees her team dominating the game in the foreseeable future. Indian women's team has progressed by leaps and bounds in the last few years, but a major trophy has eluded the Women in Blue. They lost the ODI World Cup final to England in 2017, the 2020 T20 World Cup final to Australia and the 2022 CWG final to Australia in Birmingham.
India veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik had a fanboy moment as he posted a picture with actor Yash, who is widely popular for his role in Kannada film KGF. Directed by Prashanth Neel, KGF revolves around gold mafia. The movie shattered many box-office records and made Yash a fan favourite. KGF's sequel, which was released in 2022, collected a whopping total of Rs 509 crore (Hindi version). KGF's song 'Salaam Rocky Bhai' gained a lot of popularity among the masses. Similarly, Karthik also showed his love towards the song and Yash and shared a picture with the KGF actor on his Twitter handle.
Australia opener David Warner provided a massive update on his Test career after returning home from India midway into the series due to an elbow injury. Warner, who also suffered a concussion during the second Test in Delhi, said that he intends to play international cricket till 2024 even if the selectors do not consider him for the longest format of the sport. Warner did not enjoy a good run of form in India with various ex-cricketers urging the Australian team management to look at alternatives. Warner is expected to lead Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year.
Harmanpreet Kaur looked on course to guide India to victory over Australia in the Women's T20 World Cup semi-final but a freak run-out ended her innings and the hopes of reaching the tournament's final. The India skipper was very close to completing her run but her bat got stuck in the ground and Alyssa Healy completed a crucial dismissal. The Indian batters were unable to finish the chase as India fell agonisingly short of the target. Former England Skipper Nasser Hussain called it a 'school girl error' on her part and blamed her slow start to the first run for the dismissal.
