We Can Definitely Beat Australia On Our Day, Says England's Sophie Ecclestone Ahead Of Women's Cricket World Cup Final
Tournament's leading wicket-taker Sophie Ecclestone has said that England are capable of beating the mighty Australia on their day, warning that her side entered the ongoing World Cup final without playing its best cricket. The final will be played at the Hagley Oval on Sunday. "Beating the Aussies in the final, I can't really put it into words after the Ashes we had," she said according to ESPNcricinfo. "I really believe in this group and on our day we can definitely beat the Aussies - we've got a great chance." England have had a poor tun-up to the showpiece, losing the Ashes to their traditional rivals before suffering a defeat to the Aussies in their opening game of the World Cup.

Ayush Badoni: Meet the IPL newbie who has taken the cricketing world by storm
Indian Premier League against Gujarat Titans on Match 28, Lucknow Super Giants found themselves buried under the ground, reeling at 29 for four after a shock top-order collapse. It looked as if Lucknow's first ever outing in cricket's biggest extravaganza was going to be something that they would like to quickly forget as Mohammed Shami's opening burst ripped apart LSG's star-studded top-order. But then walked out into the middle the young 22-year-old Ayush Badoni, who not too many people knew much about. Playing his first ever game in the IPL, the new kid on the block began the repair job with Deepak Hooda. Coming in at a precarious situation, battling the nerves in his debut game and under immense pressure being put by the opposition, Badoni fired an unbelievable 41-ball 54 on IPL debut.

Ayush Badoni was batting in the nets and played a superb innovative sweep shot, reminiscent of South Africa legend AB de Villiers. Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul was watching Badoni from a distance. After Badoni played the shot to send the ball over the ropes, KL walked up to him and applauded him, and asked him which cricketer he admires the most. The 22-year-old Badoni said - AB de Villiers. The next day, when the Lucknow Super Giants, who lost their first ever IPL match against the Gujarat Titans, faced defending champions Chennai Super Kings and found themselves in a tough spot, Badoni played a calm and composed cameo to take his team home. Badoni was batting on 5 off 4 balls when he moved across the line and scooped Shivam Dube for a six over deep backward leg. Captain KL had a huge smile on his face watching this young lad from the dugout. Badoni had played out a replay of the shot he played during the net session earlier.
