Dennerby's girls go down 0-8 in their opening tieBHUBANESWAR: It was an almost full house at Kalinga Stadium, mostly filled up by schoolchildren, who egged India on in their opening match of the Fifa U-17 Women's World Cup against the US. But the home support did not have much bearing on their performance as, in the end, the difference in quality proved too great for India as they were beaten 0-8 in the second match of Group A here on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old was on Tuesday given the green light to join the squad after recovering from a right knee injury sustained in the first Test against Sri Lanka in July. He missed the Asia Cup, the Twenty20 series against England and this week's tri-series in New Zealand. The tall left-arm fast bowler has completed an intensive period of rehab in London and will travel to Australia, where he has two warm-up games in Brisbane next week to regain his rhythm, the first against England on Monday. Pakistan will have a final warm-up against Afghanistan next Wednesday to prepare for their blockbusting opening match against India at the cavernous Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 23, which is expected to draw 90,000 spectators.
Bavuma is so out of nick that he was overlooked in the auction for South Africa's new T20 franchise competition and followed that by scoring only three runs in three innings in the recent T20 series in India. South Africa play warm-up games against New Zealand and Bangladesh in Brisbane on October 17 and 19, before a potential opening World Cup match against the West Indies on October 24, providing the Caribbean team top their preliminary group as expected. South Africa have a poor record in global tournaments, never winning a World Cup or reaching a final in either 50-over or Twenty20 formats.
Kane Williamson to shake off a dip in form at the Twenty20 World Cup as they target a first global trophy after coming agonisingly close in recent years. New Zealand open their World Cup campaign against hosts and defending champions Australia in Sydney on October 22, a repeat of the 2021 final. It was New Zealand's best showing in a T20 World Cup and followed hard on the heels of final defeats in the 50-over World Cup in both 2015 and 2019.
Gary Kirsten has been brought in to bolster the Netherlands coaching staff ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup. Veteran Australia all-rounder Dan Christian will also be part of their set-up as they look to cause some upsets in their fourth consecutive World Cup. Kirsten previously worked with the Netherlands in 2021 during the Super League series against Ireland and hosted them for a training camp at his academy in Cape Town prior to leaving for Australia.
Asia Cup title and confident of their Twenty20 World Cup prospects in Australia despite missing out on direct entry into the main draw. The island nation emerged Asian champions in the regional T20 tournament last month after getting past cricket giants India and then Pakistan in the final in the United Arab Emirates. The unlikely victory brought a much-needed joy to cricket-mad Sri Lanka after an economic crisis caused months of food and fuel shortages. The players received a heroes' welcome after returning from the Asia Cup and their triumph brought the country together after months of economic misery.
MELBOURNE: Women's World Cup co-hosts Australia secured their first away win over European opposition since 2013 with a 3-1 victory over Denmark to recover some badly needed confidence in the lead-up to next year's global showpiece.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are bidding to host the Canadian Football League Grey Cup championship in either 2024 or 2025, and the Manitoba government is offering up to $5.5 million to help the bid.
