Western Australia 387 for 7 (Inglis 138, Bancroft 90, Marsh 56, W Agar 2-56) beat South Australia 206 (Hunt 50, Smith 44, Agar 5-64) by 181 runs Josh Inglis tuned up for the India ODI tour with a blistering century as Western Australia capped a flawless Marsh Cup season by thrashing South Australia in a
Toss South Africa choose to bat vs West Indies South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and chose to bat on an atypically dry Wanderers pitch. He reasoned that the nature of the surface prompted the hosts to pick two specialist spinners in Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer. West Indies also selected two spinners,
Sam Billings insists he has no regrets about his decision to miss ongoing England’s white-ball tour to Bangladesh in order to play for Lahore Qalandars in the PSL. Several England players without central contracts – including Alex Hales, Liam Dawson and Tymal Mills – opted to fulfil their more lucrative PSL deals rather than travelling
Steven Smith could not remember another occasion where he had been unsure which pitch he would be playing on for a Test match two days out from it starting. That was the situation which emerged on Tuesday in Ahmedabad with Australia leaving the ground still in the dark over which of the two surfaces would
Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir isn’t known to mince his words. Time and again, Gambhir has triggered storms on social media over his brutal takes on cricketing subjects. As KL Rahul battles a barren run of form, Gambhir — the mentor of his franchise Lucknow Super Giants — has given an honest take on the

Islamabad United 209 for 8 (Ashraf 51*, Shadab 44, Munro 40, Anwar 3-33, Ihsanullah 2-35) beat Multan Sultans 205 for 5 (Masood 75, David 60, Shadab 2-26) by two wickets Sometimes crash, bang, wallop is fun. It is the principle on which T20 cricket was founded on (look away, haters) and it came to the
Had India taken that one wicket – and all other global Test results remained what they were – they would now have 131 WTC points rather than 123. Ahead of the fourth Border-Gavaskar Test match, which begins in Ahmedabad on Thursday, they would only have needed a draw to seal a spot in June’s WTC
Michael Vaughan‘s lawyer has said “due process” was denied to his client, and “sent on holiday” in the ECB’s investigations into charges that he made racist comments to four Asian and British-Asian players in 2009. Christopher Stoner KC, representing Vaughan, called the investigation “wholly and woefully inadequate” on the final day of the Cricket Discipline
A cushion of over 200 runs to defend in a T20 game can be a double-edged sword. While it certainly puts the chasing team under pressure, it could also induce bowlers into taking it easy – or the opposition taking the game head on with little to lose. Alyssa Healy did just that, giving UP
Big picture For South Africa and West Indies, the current World Test Championship will come to an end at the Wanderers, with neither side competing for a place in the final but both aiming for a better finish than they managed in their previous run. South Africa ended the 2019-2021 cycle in fifth; West Indies
Peshawar Zalmi 207 all out (Ayub 68, Babar 50, Shaheen 4-31) beat Lahore Qalandars 172 all out (Talat 63, Shaheen 52, Wahab 3-17) by 35 runs Peshawar Zalmi put in their best performance of the season to brush aside Lahore Qalandars by 50 runs. A sensational knock from Saim Ayub, whose 36-ball 68 gave Zalmi
In the last Test series in New Zealand, both sides very clearly went all-out for victory, because that is their Test-match identity. Sri Lanka can perhaps have claimed to have pioneered Bazball, before Baz was even a thing – the likes of Aravinda de Silva and Sanath Jayasuriya having blazed through the late 90s. But
Remember the high full toss Virat Kohli faced in the 2022 T20 World Cup match against Pakistan that was called a no-ball by the umpire? Or the high full toss that Rovman Powell hit for six in Delhi Capitals’ tense chase against Rajasthan Royals that wasn’t called a no-ball and led to Rishabh Pant losing
South Zone 500 for 5 dec (Shadman 246, Marshall 120, Murad 2-147) beat Central Zone 230 (Jaker 53, Ariful 40, Nazmul 3-61, Anamul 2-7) and 237 (Hider 77, Sharifullah 63, Khaled 5-74, Nazmul 3-48) by an innings and 33 runs South Zone cruised to their sixth Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) title, defeating Central Zone by
Australia’s bid for a series-levelling victory in Ahmedabad, which would go down as one of their finest results, could begin in front of a world record Test match crowd amid further intrigue over what the pitch will offer with India seeking to bounce back from a rare home defeat. The opening day of the final
Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the second Test against West Indies due to “mild groin discomfort,” following South Africa’s win at Centurion. No replacement has been named in the squad which leaves South Africa with only three specialist seamers: Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, Marco Jansen, allrounder Wiaan Mulder and a trio of spinners
New Zealand batter Kane Williamson will join their squad late for the Test series opener against Sri Lanka in Christchurch following the death of his grandmother Joan Williamson-Orr, a former mayor of Taupo.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) has given fans brilliant cricketing action so far. But it isn’t just the battle between the bat and the ball that has been the source of entertainment for fans. Even the pre-match shows in the T20 league are providing fans plenty to talk about, especially after former New Zealand cricketer
ESPNcricinfo understands Walter and du Plessis discussed the possibility of the former captain making an imminent return but scheduling and contracting challenges have made it difficult for now. With Cricket South Africa (CSA) set to announce new central contracts later this month, and the idea of single-format contracts being floated, du Plessis could be back
Jos Buttler admitted that planning for the long term was of greater benefit than any short-term fine-tuning – even in England’s final overseas ODI ahead of this winter’s 50-over World Cup – after they slipped to a 50-run defeat in the third ODI against Bangladesh in Chattogram. With a 2-0 lead already secured from the
Shakib Al Hasan packs many things into the regular phenomenon that is “Shakib Al Hasan Day”. He rescues Bangladesh’s batting from a slump. He farms the strike with a tailender as he looks for a late burst of runs. When handed the ball, he makes early breakthroughs, offers middle-overs stability and then adds the finishing
Jhye Richardson has been ruled out of Australia’s ODI tour of India, and his IPL stint with Mumbai Indians is also unlikely, after he suffered a hamstring injury recurrence in his first grade game back since the initial injury occurred during the BBL. Richardson had not played any cricket since straining his hamstring on January
Aiden Markram has been appointed South Africa’s new T20I captain, while Cricket South Africa (CSA) roped in JP Duminy as the batting coach and Rory Kleinveldt as the bowling coach in the white-ball set-up. Markram takes over captaincy from Temba Bavuma, who has been dropped from the squad altogether for the upcoming home T20Is against
