Harmanpreet Kaur "Was Casual...": Ex-Captain On India Skipper's Run Out In Women's T20 World Cup Semi-final

Chasing a 173-run target against Australia in the semi-final of the Women's T20 World Cup semi-final, India were batting confidently at one stage, till skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's run out happened. The match turned dramatically when Harmanpreet was run out with just 40 runs needed off 32 balls. Kaur batted superbly to make 52 off 34 balls. 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.

"Don't Want Him Carrying...": Australia Great Gives Verdict On Pat Cummins' Captaincy

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.

"100 Per Cent Ready To Go": Australia Star Declares Himself Fit For Third Test Against India

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.

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.
