Needing to win three out of three to win a home World Cup and recreate the joy they did at Kensington Oval when they beat USA, West Indies clearly know where they need to get better: when they are batting in the middle overs. Both their average and run-rate have been the lowest in that
After spending the group stage waiting in the wings, Kuldeep Yadav continued his run as Super Eight specialist, taking 3 for 19 in India’s comprehensive victory over Bangladesh in Antigua. Kuldeep has now taken five wickets across India’s two Super Eight matches, after picking up 2 for 32 against Afghanistan on Thursday in Barbados. India
Harry Brook‘s first T20 World Cup half-century was not enough to get England over the line against South Africa. But it could yet prove the difference between them qualifying for the semi-finals or being eliminated: by ensuring their margin of defeat was only seven runs, it meant England are well placed to qualify if their
What have South Africa done differently at the T20 World Cup 2024 to remain unbeaten so far? Experienced left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj believes his side have won the “small moments” in crunch games, which they’d not done well in previous World Cups, which is helping them “build character”. “If you look at previous World Cups,
Shakib made 11 off seven balls having arrived at the crease in the 12th over with Bangladesh needing 121 runs at 14.23 per over. He rued the team’s lack of fight in the business end of the tournament as they made below-par scores of 140 for 8 and 146 for 8 against Australia and India
Rohit Sharma is convinced that India’s batting approach against Bangladesh – of going hard from ball one – is “how we want to play”. “I’ve been talking about that for a long time,” Rohit said after India’s 50-run win against Bangladesh, which kept them unbeaten in the T20 World Cup 2024 with a semi-final berth

Star India batter Virat Kohli made history on Saturday, becoming the first-ever cricketer to score 3,000 runs across both 20-over and 50-over Cricket World Cups. Virat accomplished this milestone during his side’s T20 World Cup Super Eights clash against Bangladesh in Antigua. During the match, after a few poor games, Virat showed glimpses of his
South Africa 163 for 6 (de Kock 65, Miller 43, Archer 3-40) beat England 156 for 6 (Brook 53, Maharaj 2-25, Rabada 2-32) by 7 runs Is it too early to say it? That it looks like South Africa’s time has come. They beat defending champions England in a thrilling encounter, overcoming several scares in
The fact the opposition sat back and barely landed a blow in return aided a comfortable outing for Australia, but on the flip side their well-oiled game barely gave Bangladesh the opportunity to do so. The one blip so far has been an indifferent fielding display against Scotland – in a game that had no
With two games left in Group 2 of the T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight stage, it’s largely a three-way fight for the semi-final spots. USA aren’t completely out of it, but they will need huge wins to be in the hunt. Here’s a look at the qualification scenarios based on the result combinations in

Quinton de Kock attributed his match-winning 65 off 38 balls against England to his Caribbean Premier League experience, which informed his attacking intent in the powerplay.

Left-hand opening batter Kyle Mayers will replace King in the squad for the rest of the tournament. Mayers is likely to link up with the squad on Saturday.

Matthew Hayden feels that Virat Kohli‘s experience of assessing surfaces and adjusting to the variables in the Caribbean – India play at three different venues in the Super Eight – are more crucial than his lack of runs so far at the T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli has so far made scores of 1, 4
De Kock struck four sixes on the way to a 22-ball half-century, helping South Africa finish the powerplay on 63 without loss.

Labuschagne himself could barely believe he had taken the catch and
