Afghanistan briefly flirted with the possibility of another huge upset in the World Cup before poor fielding allowed New Zealand to post a commanding total in Chennai and seal a comfortable 149-run win on Wednesday.
India's unbeaten run in the ongoing World Cup has been a result of their all-round performances with the bat and the ball as well as one of the less talked about aspects in cricket, fielding. Stalwart batter Virat Kohli who is well known for his refined batting skills, has been a crucial figure in the field as he tops the chart of players with the biggest impact on the field after the conclusion of the first three games for each country.
India vs Bangladesh, World Cup 2023: The Rohit Sharma-led India cricket team will square off against Bangladesh in match number 17 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, India, on Thursday. The match commences at 02:00 PM IST. India will head into the match at this venue high on confidence following a hat-trick of wins, which included the six-wicket victory over Australia in the tournament opener and the seven-wicket hammering of arch-rivals Pakistan last week.
England can still breathe life back into their Cricket World Cup campaign, red-ball coach Brendon McCullum said as he urged the defending champions to stick with their style of play despite suffering a 69-run defeat by Afghanistan.
England are set to face South Africa in the 2023 Rugby World Cup semi-final, marking a replay of the last tournament's final clash in Japan.
One week after revealing talks with Australia about bidding to co-host the 2034 World Cup, Indonesian soccer leader Erick Thohir said on Wednesday that his federation now supports Saudi Arabia. Thohir's change of plan was detailed in a statement on the Indonesian soccer federation website hours before an online meeting of the Asian Football Confederation, whose 47 members include Australia, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. During the meeting, FIFA President Gianni Infantino urged AFC members to "be united for the 2034 World Cup."
In less than 96 hours after they beat reigning World Champions England, Afghanistan got a solid reality check from a ruthless New Zealand, which recorded a thumping 149-run victory in a thoroughly one-sided World Cup match in Chennai on Wednesday. As a result of this conquest, the Black Caps remain unbeaten in the event so far, taking the top spot again with its fourth straight victory. Chasing a tough target of 289 on a spinner-friendly wicket at Chepauk, Afghanistan could manage only 139 in 34.4 overs. The Afghans found Lockie Ferguson's (3/19 in 7 overs) pace too hot to handle and had no answers for Mitchell Santner's (3/39 in 7.4 overs) deliveries, which at times, turned a mile.
The Tom Latham-led New Zealand once again stamped their authority in the Cricket World Cup 2023 with a 149-run win over Afghanistan. The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan came into the match after a stunning win over defending champions England. Much was expected of them but against New Zealand, they failed to fire. New Zealand, boosted by half-centuries by Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips and Will Young, scored 288/6. In reply, Afghanistan could manage only 139 in 34.4 overs. New Zealand have looked a very balanced side and next face India in their fifth match of the Cricket World Cup.
