Women’s Asia Cup: Asian domination on Hamanpreet Kaur’s radar as T20 World Cup looms

In a largely monotonous and Sri Lankan-dominated captains’ joint-press conference in Dambulla, one line from India skipper stood out. When asked about her expectations as seven-time champions of the Women’s Asia Cup, Harmanpreet said: “The challenge will be to keep doing the right things we have done throughout the history of this tournament. We want to keep playing our style of cricket, enjoy the games, and keep dominating the other teams…”There was no sense of over-confidence in her statement, though. It just pointed to the fact that the Women’s Asia Cup has been India’s domain. In the 8 editions of the tournament so far, the only time they didn’t win was in 2018 when they lost a thriller against Bangladesh in the final. The last time the tournament was played in Bangladesh, India’s r...

Shaheen and Babar are definitely talking: Azhar Mahmood dismisses rumours of rift between the players

A can of worms were opened after Pakistan’s loss to India on Thursday with former captain Wasim Akram also indicating that things were not well behind the scenes between captain Babar Azam and pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, with the two apparently not even in talking terms. Pakistan assistant coach Azhar Mahmood, however, has denied any rift between the two players. “Wasim must have said that, but I don’t know. I didn’t see it. Shaheen and Babar are definitely talking, they are good friends. They are both part of the Pakistan team. We have not lost because of anyone, it is our mistake too,” Mahmood said referring to the team’s six-run loss to India in which it failed to chase down a 120-run target. “We are not hiding any players, everyone is there.

Shoaib Malik wants Babar Azam to quit Pakistan’s captaincy, questions Mohammad Rizwan’s shot selection

Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik has made a scathing attack on captain Babar Azam and the batting approach of the team’s senior players during their six-run loss against India in the ongoing T20 World Cup. After their bowlers restricted India to a below average total of 119, and they had six wickets in hand while chasing 40 runs from 35 balls even after their trusted anchor Mohammad Rizwan departed, Pakistan’s extraordinary collapse in the run chase drew the ire of some of former cricketers. “I have been saying for a long time, please leave captaincy. You are a class player, and you will only be able to show your class when you do not have additional responsibilities on you. If Babar stays away from captaincy, it will be good for him,” Shoaib Malik said on Ten Sports. Former captain M...

Improving the team’s performance is our biggest challenge.” Chasing 120-run target, Pakistan could only muster 113 for 7 in New York on Sunday. “It is very disappointing the way we lost to the USA and now this loss to India.

India win Boom-boom: Rohit’s sweet swat-six, Rishabh’s adventures continue and two catches go down before Pant pouches two

Magical Bumrah The four overs from Jasprit Bumrah were always going to play a big role. At last year’s World Cup, just as Pakistan were mounting a partnership, it was Bumrah who broke their back. And here on Sunday, as Pakistan were on course to chase down the 120 total, it was Bumrah who proved to be the big difference in the end. With the pitch doing its bit, Bumrah didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. He just ensured he hit the seam and those lengths which made Pakistan batsmen use horizontal bat shots, which come with risks of their own when the ball keeps low. It is how he removed Mohammad Rizwan, who went for a wild slog and ended up losing the stumps. Then bowling the 19th over, he seized total control as his slow deliveries once again were hard to pick.
