New Sri Lanka Twenty20 captain Wanindu Hasaranga was given a two-match ban by the International Cricket Council on Saturday for abusing an umpire during this week's series-ending loss against Afghanistan. The 26-year-old remonstrated with onfield umpire Lyndon Hannibal after the match for failing to call a no-ball on a high delivery to Kamindu Mendis in the final over, when Sri Lanka needed 11 from three balls. The ICC said in a statement the encounter had breached its code of conduct on "personal abuse", with Hasaranga accumulating enough demerit points over the past two years to earn the ban and a fine of 50 percent of his match fee.

In the third match, he remained unbeaten at 214 off 236 balls and helped India set a target of 557 against England. The hosts then went on to bundle out the Ben Stokes and co for 122 and register a victory by 434 runs.

Lanning, who has scored as many as 3405 runs in 132 matches in her T20I career, announced her retirement from international cricket in November last year. She admirably led Delhi Capitals in the inaugural WPL last year, emerging as the top-scorer in the tournament with 345 runs from nine games. The Capitals lost by seven wickets in the final against Mumbai Indians.

"Don't take pressure", "keep things simple", and "enjoy yourself and each other's success", simple keywords, often thrown around in elite sports, but these were the pillars that built Mumbai Indians' title-winning campaign in the inaugural season of the Women's Premier League (WPL). With exactly a week to go until the first game of the second season kicks off at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Mumbai Indians skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, echoed the same in a pre-season press conference on Friday in Mumbai.
