Afghanistan sent a five-match Twenty20 series against Ireland to a decider with a 27-run victory on Monday in a match reduced to 11 overs-a-side by rain. Najibullah Zadran's 50 off 24 balls and Rashid Khan's 31 not out from 10 deliveries set an impressive total for the tourists of 132-6.
England cricket team's fan group Barmy Army shared a funny cricket video on social media on Sunday. In the shared clip, a fast bowler could be seen taking his run-up to deliver the ball during a cricket match. The regular task didn't turn out as expected as the bowler tumbled at the non-striker's end after delivering the ball, eventually giving rise to a funny moment. While the delivery of the pacer went well off the target, he lost his balance and fell on the pitch only to see his body roll on the surface.
Zimbabwe batting coach Klusener feels ODI series vs India will be learning curve for teamCHENNAI: The last fortnight has given Zimbabwe something to cheer about as they defeated Bangladesh in both T20 and ODI series at home. What was more heartening was to see the team notching up strong shows despite the absence of senior players like skipper Craig Ervine, all-rounder Sean Williams and pacers Blessing Muzarabani and Tendai Chatara. Barring Williams who missed due to personal reasons, others were out injured.
Former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath was all praise for India fast bowler Umran Malik, saying that sheer pace is unique and that cannot be taught to any bowler in the world. Umran impressed everyone with his pace during the Indian Premier League 2022, clocking over 150 kph regularly. As a result, the Jammu and Kashmir pacer recently made his debut for India during the T20I series against Ireland. While several experts have suggested that Umran should focus more on line and length instead of pace. However, McGrath said that he hates seeing fast bowlers sacrificing pace to attain control.
The 22-year-old paceman suffered a knee injury on the recent tour of Sri Lanka, a worrying setback with the Asia Cup -- and a meeting with old rivals India -- coming up at the end of the month. He has been ruled out of the first two matches, but Pakistan skipper Babar Azam hopes he could at least play some part in the series. "We're taking a couple of doctors with us to take care of Shaheen and want him to play a game against Netherlands to see if he's fit and ready for the Asia Cup," said Azam.
Ireland's T20 international series against Afghanistan is level at 2-2 with one match to play after the tourists triumphed by 27 runs in a rain-delayed fourth encounter at Stormont.
England fast bowler James Anderson says the team's "incredible" Test revival has left him eager to return to the fray in the upcoming series against South Africa.
All-rounder Washington Sundar's return to international cricket will be further delayed as a left shoulder injury sustained during a 50-over game for his county side Lancashire has now ruled him out of three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe starting August 18.
