New Zealand vs Netherlands, 2nd ODI, Report: Tom Latham Stars As New Zealand Thrash Netherlands By 118 Runs

New Zealand on Saturday defeated Netherlands by 118 runs as the hosts took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series here in Hamilton. Tom Latham was the architect of the victory. New Zealand were in dire straits against the sprightly opponents, reduced to 89/6 within 23 overs. However, Latham played the ultimate captain's knock, his 123-ball 140* reviving the hosts and eventually taking them to a mammoth 264/9. His knock - it was his career-best score in ODI cricket - was laced with 10 fours and five sixes. It was his birthday, and he couldn't have rung in his thirties any better.

ICC Women's World Cup Final, Australia vs England: Ellyse Perry On Course To Play As Specialist Batter, Says Meg Lanning

Star all-rounder Ellyse Perry is most likely to feature in the summit clash of the ICC Women's World Cup against England as a specialist batter, skipper Meg Lanning said on Saturday. The 31-year-old Perry had missed Australia's previous two games, including the semifinal against West Indies, after she suffered back spasms in Australia's win against South Africa last week. "Ellyse got through a pretty hard and high-intensity session yesterday and she's trained again today and is feeling pretty good," Lanning said at the pre-match press conference.

Mumbai Indians pacer Basil Thampi was greeted with some disdainful treatment as Jos Buttler took him to the cleaners off his very first over against Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 clash on Saturday. Thampi was introduced by MI captain Rohit Sharma in the fourth over, right after Jasprit Bumrah sent RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal packing.

The English opener struck another boundary, before finishing the over off with a six.

"Definitely A Big Achievement": Andre Russell On Smashing 8 Sixes vs PBKS

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell described his unbeaten knock of 70 runs, which included eight sixes, as a big achievement after KKR chased down a 138-run target in 14.3 overs against Punjab Kings (PBKS) to register their second consecutive win of the season at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. However, Kolkata Knight Riders got off to a decent start with openers hitting consecutive boundaries, but Punjab's Kagiso Rabada dismissed Ajinkya Rahane while Odeon Smith got the wicket of Shreyas Iyer and Rahul Chahar struck twice dismissing Shreyas for 26 and Nitish Rana for a duck to leave KKR tottering at 51 for 4.

Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd ODI, Live Score: Pakistan Win Toss, Opt To Bowl vs Australia In Series Decider

PAK vs AUS, 3rd ODI, Live Updates: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl against Australia in the third and final ODI at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. With the series tied at 1-1, both teams will look to get the right combination, and take the three-match series. Pakistan pulled off a historic chase after tracking down a total of 349, their highest run chase in ODIs. With the series on the line, Pakistan captain Babar Azam stepped up, and Imam-ul-Haq also scored his second century in as many games to take his country home.
