Australia have a "solid chance" of retaining the T20 World Cup with home advantage, said former white-ball specialist Michael Bevan, who believes "finisher" Matthew Wade can be a key player. Aaron Finch's Australia open their campaign against New Zealand, who they hammered in the final last year, in Sydney on October 22. It was a first T20 crown for five-time 50-over World Cup winners Australia, and they have largely retained the players from that winning team. "I think they are good enough. They have got plenty of skills floating around," the 52-year-old Bevan, a two-time World Cup winner, told AFP in an interview.
India had booked an automatic berth in the age-group showpiece as hosts and they are one of the three debutants in the tournament along with fellow Group A side Morocco and Tanzania (Group D). Head coach Thomas Dennerby had said that the hosts will be a tough side to score against and taking a point from the formidable USA at the Kalinga Stadium on Tuesday can be a big achievement for India. USA have come into the tournament as winners of the CONCACAF championships and they would look to open their campaign with a win, knowing fully well that a slip-up against India can cost them dear in a Group which also has title contenders Brazil.
For professional golfer Becky Brewerton, her achievements on the course across almost two decades appeared remarkable on the surface. A CV that boasted two Solheim Cup appearances, a Ladies European Tour Order of Merit and multiple tournament wins would be the envy of many professionals. Lying underneath was a confusing concoction of misery coupled with a constant battle with mental demons that only she could feel and hear.
Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar feels that opposition sides will reconsider their batting strategy because of the bowling attack not having Bumrah anymore. He added that in Bumrah's absence, he expects young left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh or either of Mohammed Shami and Deepak Chahar (if drafted in as an official replacement for Bumrah) to leave their mark in the showpiece event. "There were really small signs of concern, because when Jasprit Bumrah did not play the first match (against Australia at Mohali), then he played the second game (at Nagpur), and then suddenly he was rested (Bumrah played in Hyderabad but didn't play Thiruvananthapuram match due to back complaint). You suddenly start to think whether this is serious, because he had been out on rest and rehab for a long time, and he was somebody who was given a task of strengthening," said Bangar on 'Cricket Live' show on Star Sports.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and a half-century from in-form Suryakumar Yadav powered India to a 13-run win over Western Australia in their ICC T20 World Cup warm-up match on Monday. With this win in Australian conditions, India's T20 WC preparations have got a big boost. Though batting was underwhelming to an extent, bowlers performed brilliantly to calm down some talks about the side's recent issues with the ball. Chasing 159, Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar got wickets of D'arcy Short and Ashton Turner while Arshdeep Singh also got two wickets.
Thailand for a paltry 37 before knocking off the runs in just six overs with nine wickets in hand to top the seven-team group league in the Women's Asia Cup, here on Monday. The emphatic win was India's fifth victory in six games, with the only defeat coming in a low-scoring match against arch-rivals Pakistan. India have 10 points from six games and are expected to be joined by Pakistan, Sri Lanka and one among Thailand and Bangladesh in the semifinals. Bangladesh have a match left and they need to just win it to enjoy a better net run-rate (+0.423 after 5 games) over Thailand (-0.949 in 6 games).
