India's star pacer Mohammed Siraj was crowned with the 'Fielder of the Match' medal after Men in Blue hammered Ireland by eight wickets to start their ICC T20 World Cup campaign at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
Rohit Sharma's bruised biceps is expected to heal before the big game against Pakistan on Sunday but the "semi-dangerous" track with "huge open cracks" at the Nassau County will be a worry for all stakeholders, ahead of the marquee clash to promote the shortest version in the mainland United States. With a host of experts including former England skipper Michael Vaughan being scathing in their assessments, questions are being raised as to why a few practice games weren't played before the big event to allow the pitch to settle down.
Uganda claimed their first ever T20 World Cup win with a three-wicket victory over Papua New Guinea at Providence Stadium on Wednesday in a low-scoring but tense encounter. The African side bowled out PNG for 77 and after struggling at 26-5 in reply reached the target in 18.2 overs with Riazat Ali Shah top-scoring with 33. Riazat put on a crucial sixth wicket partnership of 35 with Juma Miyagi (13) which effectively won the game for the tournament debutants.
The 'Hitman' Rohit Sharma reached an all-new high in his career, both as a batter and a captain as India defeated Ireland in their T20 World Cup 2024 opener on Wednesday. During the clash between India and Ireland in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Wednesday, Rohit completed 600 sixes in international cricket. No player in the world has reached the milestone, other than Rohit, with Chris Gayle sitting next, at 553 sixes in international cricket. Rohit also went past MS Dhoni as the 'captain' with the most number of wins for India.
David Warner etched his name into the history books by surpassing former captain Aaron Finch to become the highest run-scorer for Australia in the T20I format. During Australia's T20 World Cup campaign opener against Oman, Warner didn't adopt the high-risk, high-reward approach and took his time to settle on the tricky surface. Warner walked back with a score of 56(51), glistened with six boundaries and a sole maximum. He has 3,155 runs in 104 matches to his name and is the highest run scorer in the shortest format of cricket.
Truly living up to the title of 'T20 World Cup', the tournament in USA and West Indies saw minnows Uganda reach a huge milestone, claiming their first ever in the event's history. Uganda beat Papula New Guinea by 3 wickets at Providence Stadium on Wednesday in a low-scoring but tense encounter. It wasn't just the Uganda team that scripted history but also their 43-year-old spinner Frank Nsubuga who registered the record of bowling the most economical spell in T20 World Cup history.
The USA captain Monank Patel has backed his team's fearless approach to continue their winning campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024 when they take on heavy-weight Pakistan and said his side is focusing on tackling experienced Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir and "great batter in all the formats" Babar Azam. The opening game's USA victory against Canada clearly shows how dangerous the hosts are. The way the hosts handled themselves, turning a seemingly hopeless situation into a convincing triumph, is typical of a confident team coming off of a thrilling 2-1 series victory over Bangladesh in the lead-up to the tournament.
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya showed promising signs as returned to the pitch, wearing the national team's shirt in the warm-up game against Bangladesh and then in the opening T20 World Cup match against Ireland. Leaving the Mumbai Indians' problems behind, Hardik showed his old form as a finisher and a bowler, asserting that the Indian Premier League issues are now in the past. Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar highlighted how 'relaxed and relieved' Hardik looks while wearing the India jersey and not the Mumbai Indians blue, having gone through a torrid time in the recently-concluded T20 league.
