Big picture: Can Bangladesh bounce back? The New Zealand juggernaut rolled into Chennai but in typical Kiwi fashion, it was a quiet entrance. New Zealand comfortably knocked over England and Netherlands, and will now take on a Bangladesh side smarting from a big loss against England. The only saving grace for Bangladesh is a Chennai
It’s not easy being Cameron Green. Australia’s star allrounder has lost his place in the ODI side in just the second game of the World Cup, less than three months after losing his spot in the Test side for the final match of the Ashes series. It is far from doom and gloom for a
The Pakistan cricket team on Wednesday arrived in Ahmedabad ahead of the highly anticipated Cricket World Cup 2023 clash against India. After arriving at the airport, the upbeat Pakistan cricket team boarded the bus and reached the team hotel.

The India captain began his innings on 551 sixes, two behind Gayle. He claimed the record just 31 balls into his innings with his signature front-foot pull off Naveen-ul-Haq.

West Indies 107 for 8 (Sutherland 3-6, King 3-16) vs Australia – Match abandoned Annabel Sutherland and Alana King claimed three wickets each but rain ruined the day with the match bookended by a three-and-a-half hour delay prior to the start of play before another burst ended the match after just 25.3 overs of West

Any
The strategies involved in structuring a spell in ODIs still present Pat Cummins with a conundrum he is keen to conquer, 12 years after making his debut in the format. That may seem a strange takeaway from an engagement with an Australian captain under some pressure after his team’s defeat to India and their struggles
Shubman Gill will re-join the Indian team in Ahmedabad but remains doubtful for their World Cup fixture against Pakistan on October 14 as he recovers from dengue. “Gill is doing absolutely fine and is set to leave Chennai for Ahmedabad today,” a BCCI official told PTI. “It is still not clear whether Gill will have

Reece Topley described England’s 137-run victory over Bangladesh in Dharmasala as a “step in the right direction”, but admitted it was a relief to prove that the team’s attacking approach is still a winning one, after the indignities of their nine-wicket defeat in the World Cup opener against New Zealand last week. Topley did not

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”.

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
