Indian-Origin Star, Who Played 53 T20Is For Ireland, Battling For Life

Indian-origin all-rounder Simi Singh, who has played 35 ODIs and 53 T20Is for Ireland, is currently battling for his life. The cricketer, who is suffering from acute liver failure, is currently in the ICU of a Gurugram hospital, according to a report by Times Of India.

ICC Finally Reveals Ratings For T20 World Cup 2024 Pitches In New York. They Are...

The ICC match referees have gone soft on the much-maligned pitches used for the New York leg of the T20 World Cup with six of the eight games, including the India versus Pakistan contest, getting a "satisfactory" rating. Two games at the makeshift Nassau County Cricket Stadium, including India's opening fixture against Ireland, have got an "unsatisfactory" rating from the game's governing body which remains bullish on promoting cricket in the United States. The surface used for the game between between Sri Lanka and South Africa also got thumbs down from the match referee.

Batter Runs 5 Without Overthrow In Ireland vs Zimbabwe Test, Video Goes Viral

Ireland Beat Zimbabwe In One-Off Test Match

Andy McBrine starred with both bat and ball as Ireland beat Zimbabwe by four wickets in a one-off Test in Belfast on Sunday after recovering from a dramatic top-order collapse. Set just 158 to win in the shadow of Stormont Castle, Ireland had slumped to 33-5 at the close of Saturday's third day, with Zimbabwe left-arm quick Richard Ngarava doing the bulk of the damage in a sensational burst of 4-12 in four overs. But in the first Test to be played in Northern Ireland, the home side lost just one more wicket on Sunday.

First Time In 147 Years: Zimbabwe Cricketer Registers Unwanted Record

Zimbabwe wicketkeeper Clive Madande set a never-seen-before unwanted record when he conceded 42 byes in a Test innings against Ireland on Friday. The runs given away by the 24-year-old Madande, enduring a tough debut after he was out for a duck on Thursday's first day at Stormont, were more than Ireland's 40-run first-innings lead as they made 250 in reply to Zimbabwe's 210. The byes were not entirely his fault as he had to deal with his bowlers sending several deliveries down the legside and late swing after the ball had passed the bat. One consolation for Madande was the record he surpassed was set by England's Les Ames -- widely regarded as one of cricket's greatest wicketkeeper-batsmen -- who gave away 37 byes in Australia's total of 327 in a Test at The Oval back in 1934.

Babar Azam Breaks Silence On Captaincy Future, Says "All That Has Happened..."

Pakistan's painful journey of T20 World Cup 2024, ended on a positive note as the Babar Azam-led side finish with a three-wicket win against Ireland on Sunday. The 2009 champions had a dismal show in the marquee event, getting knocked out in the Group stage. For the very first time in the history of T20 World Cup, Pakistan bowed out of the tournament in the first round. The entire team, especially skipper Babar Azam, has been receiving severe criticism from all over the world for their poor performance.

T20 World Cup: Pakistan Register 3-Wicket Consolation Win Over Ireland

Former champions Pakistan restored a semblance of pride with a toiling three-wicket win over Ireland in their inconsequential final game of the T20 World Cup on Sunday. The 2009 champions, who were eliminated following their loss to India and the USA in the earlier group matches, restricted Ireland to 106 for 9 after opting to bowl with Shaheen Shah Afridi (3/22) leading the show. Despite chasing a not-so-daunting target, Pakistan's fragile batting was once again exposed as they slumped to 62 for six in 11 overs, raising the vision of another collapse. But skipper Babar Azam (32 not out) and Abbas Afridi (17) shared a 33-run stand to take them home at 111 for 7 in 18.5 overs.

Pakistan vs Ireland, T20 World Cup 2024 Live Streaming: Pakistan take on Ireland in their final Group A match in T20 World Cup 2024 on Sunday. With both sides out of contention for the Super Eight race in the tournament, Pakistan and Ireland's only motivation for their final group game will be to earn back some pride.
