Kieron Pollard has described West Indies’ failure to make the Super 12s of the 2022 T20 World Cup as a “sad day” for Caribbean cricket. The former captain, who retired in April, said he was both “surprised” as well as disappointed at West Indies’ exit and agreed that head coach Phil Simmons will now come

Allrounder Mitchell Marsh has declared himself fit to bowl in a much-needed confidence boost for Australia, whose T20 World Cup title defence is on the line against Sri Lanka at Optus Stadium on Tuesday. While fellow favourites India and England started their campaigns with statement wins, albeit in contrasting fashion, hosts Australia are on the
According to Anil Kumble and Stephen Fleming, the unbeaten 82 from Virat Kohli that sunk Pakistan in Melbourne had two standout characteristics. One, the ability to find boundaries at will in the second half and, two, the display of high fitness levels that are crucial to maximising run-scoring at a ground of MCG’s size. At
Cheteshwar Pujara will return to Sussex in 2023 after making a significant impact during his first season with the club this year. “I am glad to be back with Sussex for the 2023 season,” Pujara said in a statement released by the club. “I thoroughly enjoyed my last stint with the club last season, both
Bangladesh 144 for 8 (Afif 38, van Meekeren 2-21, de Leede 2-29) beat Netherlands 135 (Ackermann 62, Taskin 4-25, Mahmud 2-15) by 9 runs Bangladesh’s quick bowlers came good as they pulled off a nine-run win over Netherlands, with Taskin Ahmed the star of the show. He picked up wickets with the first two balls
India 160 for 6 (Kohli 82*, Hardik 40) beat Pakistan 159 for 8 (Masood 52*, Iftikhar 51, Arshdeep 3-32, Hardik 3-30) by four wickets That front foot… Just the way it lunges at the ball… Even in this game… Even against these guys… Virat Kohli isn’t a man. He is a feeling. It’s why every
He may have been “lost for words” at the end of an epic game, but Virat Kohli was sure that his undefeated 82 off 53 balls against Pakistan at the MCG was the best T20 innings of his career, “because of the magnitude of the game and what the situation was”. From 31 for 4
India will arrive in Bangladesh on December 1 to begin their tour comprising three ODIs and two Tests. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced the tour schedule on Thursday, with Dhaka set to host all three ODIs and one Test, and Chattogram the other Test. The tour begins with the ODI series, which will be
In the book, du Plessis reflects on a difficult childhood, a career that started in shadow of his best friend AB de Villiers, South Africa’s 2015 and 2019 World Cup heartaches, his elevation to national captain, and his eventual exit from the role, driven by what he terms a lack of soft skills from Cricket
It swung wildly, one way now, the other way a moment later. Till it came down to 31 from 12. Haris Rauf. Just three from his first four balls. That made it 28 from eight. Advantage Pakistan. Hold on, said Virat Kohli. Bang, and bang, and it was 16 from six, to be bowled by
Virat Kohli rates his 82* off 53 in the MCG chase against Pakistan higher than his 82* off 51 in Mohali in a must-win match in the 2016 T20 World Cup against Australia. His captain, Rohit Sharma, though, has gone one step ahead and called Sunday’s innings one of the best for India by anyone,

Big picture It has been eight years since Netherlands have qualified for the main round of the T20 World Cup, but even longer since Bangladesh last won a match at this stage of the competition – 15 years to be precise. Long enough for the notion to spread that Bangladesh are miles behind most T20

Former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, who had earlier announced that he will be contesting the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) polls, has now decided to not contest the polls for the CAB president’s post. Instead, Sourav’s elder brother Snehasish is set to be the new CAB president. Ganguly, whose tenure as BCCI president came to
The Super 12s are only just beginning but Zimbabwe have already achieved their major goal of the T20 World Cup: to actually get to this point. Coach Dave Houghton previously said he would not consider his team to have actually qualified for the tournament unless they advanced from the first round and secured a spot
Sri Lanka 133 for 1 (Mendis 68*, Asalanka 31*) beat Ireland 128 for 8 (Tector 45, Theekshana 2-19, Hasaranga 2-25) by nine wickets Sri Lanka’s bowlers choked the Ireland batting performance, their spinners taking five wickets between them, as they restricted the opposition to 128 for 8. The target was a stroll for the top
Big picture It doesn’t have quite the same hype as the Trans-Tasman or subcontinent derbies, but the meeting of two southern African neighbours has all the makings of a classic match-up. There’s an obvious favourite: South Africa, who have never lost a T20I to Zimbabwe and only been defeated by them in two ODIs. One
“I think most importantly, the reason that Shami is ahead of Harshal Patel is to get wickets up front,” Kumble said on ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out show. “That’s what Rohit will be hoping for. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami to get a couple of wickets early on.” Shami, who had not played a single T20I
Netherlands batter Tom Cooper feels his side has the advantage of being a more in-the-groove outfit heading into their opening Super 12s fixture against Bangladesh, having already played three tough games in the first round of the Men’s T20 World Cup. “There are some strong sides in the Super 12s stage, but we like our
It would appear the fickle Melbourne weather doesn’t want to be seen as the spoilsport. The dismal weather outlook has improved a lot on the day before the big match between India and Pakistan on Sunday. On the eve of the match, Pakistan’s training was interrupted by early-morning rain, but India practised in dry conditions
Aaron Finch conceded that Australia’s hopes of defending their men’s T20 World Cup title may already be out of their hands because of the huge margin of the loss to New Zealand and its impact on their net run-rate. Although the table is in its most embryonic stage after the first day of the Super
Big picture Both teams have arrived in the Super 12s with a bit of confidence, but also knowing they must still prove themselves in this phase of the tournament. For Ireland, a victory here would be their second successive giant-killing act – the feather of another former T20 World Cup winner to decorate their cap.
The Melbourne weather has had to tie itself in knots to usurp the chicken-and-egg situation between Pakistan’s middle-order issues and their opener’s slow strike rate to emerge as the biggest talking point in the lead-up to their first match of the T20 World Cup. That situation has got to the point where a journalist told
Big picture India-Pakistan matches are rare and usually only found in global tournaments, and this combination of scarcity and high stakes often brings out the worst in both sets of fans. And, over recent years, the pre-match hysteria has often given way to one-sided anticlimaxes on the field. Lukewarm blowouts giving way to jingoistic gloating

Ricky Ponting has called West Indies’ early exit from the T20 World Cup a “disgrace” after their heavy defeat to Ireland meant the two-time champions lasted just three matches in this tournament. After an opening loss against Scotland in Hobart, West Indies gave themselves a chance with victory over Zimbabwe which left their final group
New Zealand 200 for 3 (Conway 92*, Allen 42) beat Australia (Maxwell 28, Southee 3-6, Santner 3-31) by 89 runs Ten years can be a good time to wait for some things – inspiration, lifetime service awards, the right blend of salt and pepper in your hair – but not a win. New Zealand last
