Marcus Stoinis was involved in an over that summed up the madness of T20 and the fine line between being a hero or villain. With 21 to defend, he watched his first three deliveries against Rinku Singh disappear for four, six, six. That suddenly made Kolkata Knight Riders favourites as they aimed to keep their

Punjab Kings ended their campaign on a winning note, crushing an already demoralised Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in an inconsequential final IPL league match here on Sunday. Batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad managed only 157 for 8 on a good batting track. But it was never going to be enough as Liam Livingstone made mincemeat
Anamul Haque has earned a recall into the Bangladesh white-ball squads following his record-breaking run in the recently-concluded Dhaka Premier League List A competition, while Mustafizur Rahman has been named in all three squads for the upcoming tour of the West Indies.

“He is going to be one of India’s leading allrounders,” Shastri said on ESPNcricinfo’s analysis show T20 Time:Out. “He is the future. You have [Ravindra] Jadeja today. Three years down the line, if Jadeja is still fit, he will play. There is Axar [Patel] around. But this guy is your premier allrounder across all three
Chasing 158 for victory, Namibia were 47 for 2 inside the powerplay when Erasmus and opener Michael van Lingen got together, and they propelled the innings forward with a 77-run partnership. Zimbabwe fought back with a couple of wickets – including that of van Lingen for 51 in 48 balls – and a four-run 18th
Big picture On a flat Chattogram surface, neither Bangladesh nor Sri Lanka had the kind of superlative attack that would have swung the game decisively. The result being the first Test ending in a draw with not even three innings completed after five days. Although Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have both had their bowling stocks
As was the case when Sri Lanka last played a Test match in Dhaka, they have a secret weapon up their sleeve this time too. Back in 2018, it was Chandika Hathurusingha, who switched jobs from Bangladesh to Sri Lanka head coach barely months before the tour. This time, it is Naveed Nawaz, the assistant
After three months of remedial work on his bowling action, Mohammad Hasnain has undergone an official test in a bid to revive his international career. Hasnain was suspended from bowling in international cricket in February, after he failed a biomechanics test in which the majority of the deliveries he bowled exceeded the 15-degree tolerance limit
A recall, and a farewell?Cheteshwar Pujara is back in the Test squad, and he pretty much forced that decision on the selectors with his rollicking form in the County Championship. How do you ignore 6, 201*, 109, 12, 203, 16, 170* and 3? The selectors possibly factored another reason into his recall as well: in
Peter Handscomb, Middlesex’s club captain, is standing down from his role, and will not return to complete the 2022 season following his involvement with next month’s Australia A tour of Sri Lanka.

Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant© BCCI/IPL It was a heartbreaking loss at the end for Delhi Capitals as they had themselves to blame for not making it to the playoffs of IPL 2022. It all started when their top order failed to give a solid start against Mumbai Indians on Saturday, which led to a
He was handed two games by Lahore Qalandars in 2019, but that failed to materialise into anything further despite strong showings on the domestic T20 circuit in the seasons preceding it. He was understood to be on the cusp of reselection to the Test side for Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies in 2017, but
New Zealand 342 for 3 (Latham 65, Young 55, Bracewell 51, Blundell 51) vs Sussex After the frustrations of a washed-out first day, Hove was back to its tranquil self for the start of New Zealand’s touring commitments proper.

Stuart Broad has “found his rhythm” ahead of England’s upcoming Test series against New Zealand, according to his Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores.

Nicholls, the left-handed middle-order player, has been a key part of New Zealand’s Test side having made eight centuries in 46 matches with an average of 40.38.

There’s more bad news for Bangladesh’s bowling attack, with Nayeem Hasan ruled out of the second Test against Sri Lanka, in Dhaka, with a finger injury. A BCB statement quoted national team physio Bayzidul Islam as saying, “Nayeem had a contusion of the right middle finger while batting and fielding in the first Test. An
Shimron Hetmyer has not made an international appearance since the T20 World Cup last year, but West Indies remain hopeful that he will make himself available for future tours.

File it under Things That Make Cricket Look Daft.
