In the 2015 final against Australia, the team got blown out of the water in the first hour. Four years later, against England, a bizarre boundary countback rule cost the team the title after the match and the subsequent SuperOver ended in a tie. Come October 5, New Zealand will look to put the ghosts of the previous two final defeats behind when it kick-starts the 2023 World Cup against the defending champion. But unlike the previous two editions - held in Australia & New Zealand (2015) and England (2019) - where the conditions played to their strengths, the pitches in India will pose a sterner test for the Black Caps. ...

No Comments Mihir Vasavda at Asian Games: Avinash Sable leads from start to finish, wins steeplechase by a country mile
THE EUPHORIC wave, he knew, wasn’t for him. Avinash Sable saw himself on the big screen, heard the roar that echoed inside the giant bowl that the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre is, and glanced towards Jianan Wang, the Chinese long jumper for whom the packed stands cheered.As he waited for his race to begin, Sable was in no illusion about his fame. But he was self-assured about his prowess. “I knew I was faster than all my competitors, and I wanted to run a fast race,” he said.
And fast he was. By a country mile.
The Indian steeplechaser ran a Games record time of 8 minutes, 19.5 seconds to win India’s first athletics gold medal of the Hangzhou Asiad, a staggering 4.25 seconds faster than the second-placed Japanese Aoki Ryoma.

“Not much to gain for us. Priority is to look after the players. Just a formality.”That was the crux of India captain Rohit Sharma’s brief chat with the host broadcaster after winning the toss against England in Saturday’s World Cup warm-up match.No wonder then that India would not have been too disappointed when a thunderstorm that started minutes before the start of play washed the game out. As a result, India left for Thiruvananthapuram for its last warm-up game with only four players training on the pre-match day.The fact that three of the five wa...

They even probed her about the protest that followed, which saw the fastest hurdler in the line-up and gold medal favourite Yanni Wu getting disqualified after the race finished.

No Comments Asian Games, boxing: Nikhat Zareen’s long winning streak ends with bronze as Thailand’s Chuthamat Raksat neutralises her attacking weapons
A long winning streak, that made Nikhat Zareen feel almost invincible in the 50kg weight category at one point, came to an end on Sunday when the two-time World Champion finished on the wrong side of a 2-3 decision against Thailand’s Chuthamat Raksat at the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Though Zareen finished with a bronze medal, the overriding feeling would be of a gold lost.
Coming into this Olympic qualifying tournament, Zareen was the clear favourite for the gold having won two back-to-back World Championships. But on Sunday, she fell prey to an opponent she had barely escaped from in New Delhi during the Worlds earlier this year.
Raksat is crafty, to say the least. One may not get pulsating combinations from her but she’s quick enough to land that first jab and then clinch immediately. It’...

No Comments Asian Games: How Jyothi Yarraji was upgraded to silver in 100m hurdles after false start by favourite Yanni Wu
India’s fastest hurdler Jyothi Yarraji ended third in the women’s 100m hurdles event but was upgraded to a silver medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games on Sunday after a controversial false start which led to uncertainty about her getting disqualified. The silver medal was finally awarded to Yarraji, but not before she had to make an impassioned case for herself and the race was restarted under the cloud of uncertainty. In the restarted race, Yarraji ended with a time of 12.91 seconds. What had led to the drama was that the race saw a false start by home favourite Yanni Wu, and India’s Yarraji appeared to be reacting to the Chinese hurdler’s cue. Officials initially told both runners that had been disqualified for false start. This led to a audible groan in the stadium, since Wu is one of t...

They gamely kept at it, occasionally going off like cooker whistle. They were adequately rewarded in the second session. With each wicket that Saurashtra took, there was glee. For, the fi...
