After having clinched a low-scoring series opener, can hosts Australia produce another win in the second ODI to seal their seventh Chappell-Hadlee trophy win? The first of three ODIs between the sides at the Cazaly’s Stadium was kind of a throwback to the Nineties and the Early 2000s, with a 233-run target proving enough to challenge a well accomplished batting line-up. The hosts though, prevailed in a gripping finish by two wickets, and with it took a 1-0 lead. Another win – in the second ODI at the same venue on Thursday, September 8 – will help them register a…

Captain Rohit Sharma has voiced his support for young speedster Arshdeep Singh and veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar following India’s second straight defeat at the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. India went to Pakistan in a last-over thriller in their first Super Four game at the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 in Dubai on Sunday, September 4, and suffered another defeat in a nail-biter at the same venue to Sri Lanka two days later. One of the major turning points in the game against Pakistan was a reprieve given to Asif Ali in the run-chase, with Arshdeep dropping a fairly straightforward chance at short third-man on…

The Kiwis’ wait for an elusive ODI win in Australia has continued after they fell agonisingly short in the first of three matches of the Chappell-Hadlee series at the Cazaly’s Stadium on September 6.

The Blackcaps managed to reduce Australia to 44/5, and later to 207/8 in their run-chase of 233, but were undone by the heroics of Green, who ensured that the win was sealed with two wickets and five overs remaining.

He has been on a roll across all the T20 tournaments in the world, and has been knocking on the doors to make it in this Australian side for a while. The player, who last featured…

India skipper Rohit Sharma stated that he would much rather take a win like the one his team secured over Pakistan in their Asia Cup 2022 opener in Dubai on August 28, than the one-sided ones. India, the defending Asia Cup champions, had a winning start to their 2022 campaign, beating arch-rivals Pakistan by five wickets in a thriller at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. The game kept swinging till the final over, despite Pakistan having just managed 147 batting first, with their bowlers maintaining the intensity through and through. Young debutant Naseem Shah castled KL Rahul for a golden duck, and while Sharma and…
