Sam Curran admitted that England’s players were relieved to have escaped their fixture against Bangladesh in Dharamsala without any injuries, after fielding for 48.2 overs on an outfield which their captain Jos Buttler described as “poor”. The outfield was cleared by the ICC’s independent pitch consultant Andy Atkinson and match referee Javagal Srinath before this
It was Taskin, so the line of questioning was quite obvious: why did the fast bowlers bowl so poorly? Taskin, usually affable, was glum from the start. And then, faced with a bombardment of questions, looked shaken. To put things in perspective, Bangladesh had started ordinarily with the ball against Afghanistan in their World Cup
Queensland 219 for 9 (Heazlett 58, Sandhu 46, Richardson 36*, Edwards 4-38, Nisbet 3-59) beat New South Wales 217 (Henriques 82, Hughes 59, Guthrie 3-58) by one wicket The home side posted only 217 at the usually batter-friendly North Sydney Oval on Monday but looked on track to defend the total courtesy of allrounder Jack
Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana is likely to strengthen the XI for their second World Cup game, against Pakistan on Tuesday, according to their assistant coach Naveed Nawaz. “He’s fit and should play tomorrow,” Nawaz said on the eve of the match. “Didn’t want to risk him in the first game against medical advice but
Grant Bradburn, the Pakistan head coach, acknowledged their powerplay batting hasn’t clicked yet in India, but it’s something the team isn’t losing sleep over just yet. Much of those top order questions stem from Fakhar Zaman‘s indifferent form. He has a highest of 33 in 11 innings since the unbeaten 180 he made against New
PCB boss Zaka Ashraf has raised “serious concerns and alarm” about the continuing delay in visas being issued to Pakistan cricket fans and journalists to travel to the World Cup in India. Disquiet over the delays has been rumbling for a while in Pakistan, and the board has written to the ICC about the issue,
Big picture It seems bizarre, given this is a World Cup game, but just three weeks ago Pakistan and Sri Lanka played an ODI that arguably mattered more. They battled it out to the final ball of a knockout match at the Asia Cup, with Sri Lanka stealing the win and booking a berth in
New Zealand 322 for 7 (Young 70, Latham 53, van der Merwe 2-56) beat Netherlands 223 (Ackermann 69, Santner 5-59, Henry 3-40) by 99 runs New Zealand’s innings started with three maidens in a row but ended with them bashing 50 off the last three overs, courtesy Tom Latham, Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry, which
It is “only two games in” to the World Cup, as Colin Ackermann noted, but concerns that Netherlands may be overwhelmed by the quality of the opposition at this tournament are already emerging after big defeats. Make no mistake, the Dutch have not disgraced themselves in any way – far from it – and they’ve
You thought it was a dream night out with the ball for Mitchell Santner. He picked up only his second ODI five-for to floor Netherlands, his spell of 5 for 59 along with his cameo 17-ball 36 at No. 8 earned him the Player of the Match. But in all honestly, Santner revealed he’d bowled
Left-arm wristspinner Kuldeep Yadav attributes his recent success in white-ball cricket to an increase in the pace of his deliveries and putting a lesser load on his right leg while delivering the ball. His transformation, especially in ODIs over the last couple of years, has been exemplary and he’s taken it up a notch in
The BCCI said Gill would not travel with the team to Delhi and “will stay back in Chennai and be under the supervision of the medical team”. Two days out from the Australia game, head coach Rahul Dravid said, “He [Gill] is certainly feeling better today than he was yesterday, so that’s a positive, but
In his first press conference at this World Cup, Hashmatullah Shahidi spoke glowingly about the ability within his Afghanistan team. Even outside of it, the talent at their disposal is incredible. There’s a 23-year-old in Kunar who, but for the great Bill Ponsford, would hold the title of the fastest cricketer to 1000 first-class runs.
Ben Stokes is highly unlikely to play England’s second World Cup game, against Bangladesh, in Dharamsala on Tuesday as he continues to nurse a sore left hip. Stokes came out of ODI retirement to make himself available as a specialist batter for the World Cup, despite his chronic left-knee injury. But he missed their heavy
Eoin Morgan believes it is “naive” to think that England could parachute Jofra Archer into a World Cup match if they were “desperate”, as Archer continues his comeback from an elbow stress fracture. Archer is due to arrive in India next week, linking up with England’s squad in Mumbai, and is their only designated travelling
Jos Buttler has described the sandy Dharamsala outfield as “poor” and questioned the venue’s fitness to host a World Cup fixture, after urging his England players to be careful when diving in the deep against Bangladesh. The outfield was rated “average” by the match officials for Bangladesh’s six-wicket win over Afghanistan on Saturday, despite its
Shakib Al Hasan shoots the breeze with the visiting BCB directors in the canopy overlooking the practice facility at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. He had just walked past a large group of Bangladesh media persons, serenely smiling. Detached obviously, but also strangely attached the next minute. There’s a lot of laughter coming from where
Big picture – Familiar nemesis awaits faltering England Six matches down, 42 to come… it’s too soon to form any broad judgements about the destiny of the 2023 World Cup. However, as England’s chastened cricketers head for the tournament’s highest peak in Dharamsala, they do so with clear reason to doubt their readiness to scale
England 364 for 9 (Malan 140, Root 82, Mahedi 4-71) beat Bangladesh 227 (Litton 76, Topley 4-43) by 137 runs Defending champions England produced an emphatic response to defeat in their opening World Cup match, crushing Bangladesh by 137 runs in Dharamsala to get their tournament up and running.

When you knock AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle off their perch life can become a bit of a blur, so it’s perhaps unsurprising that for Jake Fraser-McGurk his feat in Adelaide a few days ago, where he scorched a 29-ball hundred, was still sinking in. Fraser-McGurk’s astonishing display at Karen Rolton Oval shaved two
Fast bowler Darcie Brown has been ruled out of the remainder of the ODI series against West Indies with a hamstring injury which also potentially leaves her in doubt for the start of the WBBL. Brown left the field after three overs in the first one-dayer in Brisbane, where she claimed the key with of

Team India opened its ODI World Cup 2023 campaign with a thumping six-wicket win over Australia. The Rohit Sharma-led side first bundled out the visitors for just 199 runs and then chased down the target in 41.2 overs. In the chase, the partnership between Virat Kohli (85) and KL Rahul (97*) played a crucial role.
Opening the batting in South Australia’s run chase, Fraser-McGurk, 21, reached his century in the ninth over of the innings, going past de Villiers’ previous mark of 31 balls which he set against West Indies in an ODI at Johannesburg in 2015. He eventually holed out in the 12th over, finishing with 125 from 38
