Australia vs South Africa, WTC Final: Tom Moody predicts winner, says ‘winning mentality is ingrained in them’ | Cricket News
Pat Cummins of Australia (Photo by Philip Brown/Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Tom Moody, the former Australian cricketer, asserts that Australia’s success in high-stakes matches has been consistent across generations, demonstrating exceptional performance levels ahead of their World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa.The ICC’s prestigious mace will be contested between South Africa and Australia from June 11 at Lord’s.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!Whilst South Africa seeks their first ICC silverware in more than 20 years, Australia, under Pat Cummins’ leadership, aims to maintain possession of the mace they secured by defeating India in the previous WTC final at the Oval in June 2023.“The Australians have built that reputation through consistent success in major tournaments. When it comes to ICC events, Australia somehow elevates their game to another level as a team. They genuinely embrace the challenges of tournament cricket and thrive under the pressure of these high-stakes matches. Gautam Gambhir sends stern message after Bengaluru tragedy “It’s also about confidence. Historically, many of their players have won multiple ICC tournaments, and they’ve grown up watching previous generations achieve the same success. That winning mentality is ingrained in them,” Moody commented on Star Sports.The Proteas have demonstrated excellent form in ICC events over the past two years, reaching the semi-finals of both the ICC Men’s World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy, the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, and now qualifying for the ICC WTC final.According to Moody, Australia possesses a marginal advantage over South Africa, primarily due to their extensive experience in high-pressure encounters.“You need to trust your instincts and make sure that you sort of cut out the negativity of the fact that you haven’t played Test cricket for several months, or you’re suddenly turning up in England and you’ve got completely different conditions. That’s the nature of Test cricket, and that’s the beauty of Test cricket, being able to adapt and evolve on the move to be able to respond when you need to. So, I think both teams will be very aware of that. I think Australia has got a slight advantage purely because they’ve played more big matches than South Africa have over recent years,” he concluded.

IND A vs ENG Lions Live Score, 2nd Unofficial Test: KL Rahul’s classy hundred steers India A to strong position vs England Lions
India A vs England Lions Live Score, 2nd Unofficial Test: KL Rahul marked his return to first-class cricket with a masterful 116 as India A posted 319 for 7 on a rain-interrupted Day 1 against England Lions. Facing a challenging attack led by England veteran Chris Woakes, Rahul displayed textbook technique, crisp strokeplay, and composure to notch his 19th first-class hundred. He struck 15 fours and a six, combining for a 121-run stand with Dhruv Jurel, who scored a fluent 52 — his third successive half-century in this series. Woakes, making a comeback, was England’s standout with 3/50, removing openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (lbw) and Abhimanyu Easwaran, who continued his poor run with another low score. Easwaran’s repeated failures against quality pace raise questions about his temperament and technique. Rahul, opening the innings, is now a frontrunner to partner Jaiswal in the upcoming Test series in England. His ability to negotiate early swing and set the tone at the top of the order was on full display. Jurel, meanwhile, not only strengthens his case as Pant’s understudy but also offers value as a specialist No. 6 batter. Karun Nair chipped in with 40 during a promising third-wicket stand with Rahul, while late contributions came from Tanush Kotian and Anshul Kamboj, who remained unbeaten at the close of play. With solid partnerships and Rahul’s commanding ton, India A seized early control despite tough batting conditions and overcast skies.
D Gukesh unlikely to replicate my dominance at the moment: Magnus Carlsen
Magnus Carlsen feels that D Gukesh and the rest of the Indian talent are not going to replicate his dominance in chess at the moment after winning the Norway Chess on Friday, June 6. Carlsen won the tournament for the seventh time after a blunder from Gukesh in his match against Fabiano Caruana cost the World Champion dearly and he slipped to a loss. This meant that Carlsen, who drew his match against Arjun Erigaisi from an unfavourable position, clinched the title. Speaking to Chess24, the World No.1 was asked if the Indian talent, including Gukesh, Erigaisi and R Praggnanandhaa will be able to replicate his success in chess. Carlsen responded by saying that it is unlikely at the moment. The World No.1 said that Gukesh showed during the tournament that he is on track but isn’t way ahead when it comes to his development at this time. “There is no one. No one at the moment. That’s the honest answer. There could be, but at the moment it’s not likely. I think Gukesh showed in this tournament that he’s on track, he’s doing fantastic, but he’s maybe he not way ahead of track as we may have thought. I think he’s kind of a little bit where I was 2008, 2009-ish. You can do extremely well, but you can still see that there are that great results, like they come not only with the quality of the positional play, but it’s a lot of fighting qualities. But that is what kids are supposed to do.” “You’re not supposed to master everything at that age. As for the others, yes, they are good, but the likelihood of one of them becoming like a very clear number one. I don’t see it very clearly at the moment,” said Gukesh. ‘Every single one of them has clear flaws in their game’ Carlsen feels that the older guys are better at the moment and the young guns aren’t ready to take over just yet as they have very clear flaws in their games. “At the moment, I still think that the older guys are better, and they’re not ready to take over like that. Every single one of them has very, very clear flaws in their games,” said Carlsen. Published On: Jun 7, 2025 Tune In

India vs England: Ricky Ponting backs Shubman Gill as Test captain, suggests ideal batting spot | Cricket News
Ricky Ponting has weighed in on India’s upcoming Test tour of England and the appointment of Shubman Gill as captain, calling it a “smart and timely” decision as the team transitions into a new era following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the longest format.Speaking to The ICC Review, Ponting praised the 25-year-old Gill for his calm leadership and strong batting credentials, both of which he believes will serve India well in a challenging five-Test series starting June 20.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!“I actually think it’s the right move,” Ponting said. “There’s been talk about why it wasn’t Bumrah or Pant, but Bumrah’s injury history makes it tough. You can’t have your captain missing matches. Shubman’s young, he’s a regular, and most importantly, he’s scoring runs.” Poll What are your expectations for India’s performance in the upcoming Test series against England? Ponting, who observed Gill’s leadership at Gujarat Titans during IPL 2024, believes Gill has grown into a natural leader. However, he feels moving Gill away from the top of the order may help him focus on captaincy duties.“Not having to open or bat at No.3 might ease the burden,” Ponting said. “I see Sudharsan and Jaiswal opening. Maybe KL Rahul at No.3, then Gill at No.4 and Karun Nair at five. It gives Gill some breathing space as a young skipper.” Gautam Gambhir sends stern message after Bengaluru tragedy Ponting also acknowledged the massive void left by the exits of Rohit and Kohli but expressed confidence in India’s depth.“If any country can rebuild quickly, it’s India,” he said. “They’ve got an abundance of young talent. Players like Jaiswal and Sudharsan have already shown their quality.”He was especially optimistic about uncapped left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh.“I’d play him from the first Test,” Ponting said. “He’s skillful, he’s played County cricket, and the Dukes ball will suit him. That left-arm angle adds variety.” Shubman Gill story: From a remote village near the border to India’s Test captain India Test squad for England Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc, wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
Netherlands Women vs United States Of America Women, USA-W vs NED-W 2025, Today Match Prediction
𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Netherlands Women vs United States Of America Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 07,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : VRA Cricket Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Netherlands 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : USA Women tour of Netherlands,2025 The first ever bilateral series between the Netherlands Women and USA Women gets underway on Saturday in Amstelveen. Netherlands Women vs United States Of America Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NEDW vs USA-W Match Prediction & Analysis There is plenty of excitement around the cricketing world as Netherlands Women and USA Women meet in a bilateral series for the first time, starting on Saturday. Although both teams begin the week outside the top 14 positions in the ICC WT20I team rankings, both sides are on the up and it by no means a foregone conclusion that 15th ranked Netherlands will defeat USA in 24th. The sides were meant to meet in April of last year but the night match, part of the Women’s T20I Quadrangular Series at the Tolerance Oval, was eventually abandoned without a ball bowled. Many cricket fans across the globe are looking forward to this series though and are expecting a highly competitive five matches. All eyes will be on who succeeds at the VRA Ground and takes a 1-0 lead! TEAMS PREVIEW Netherlands Women Preview The last time the Netherlands Women took to a cricket pitch in this format, they got over the line by the slimmest of margins – beating Netherlands Women by one wicket with zero balls remaining. That was in Kirtipur in February and Babette de Leede will no doubt be delighted to be back on home soil in front of their own fans for this potentially tricky opening game of the series against USA Women. Netherlands Women will be looking for better performances with both bat and ball from the side in this game than against Thailand Women when they took a combined five wickets although Iris Zwilling was the standout performer with three of them! With the bat, opener Phebe Molkenboer top scored with 32 runs and her partnership at the top of the order, with de Leede to come in at number three, will be crucial to the home side’s chances. United States Of America Women Preview USA Women continue to improve across all formats and they will have picked out this tour as one where they can cause an upset over the next week or so. Beginning in Amstelveen, defeat would by no means spell the end of the series, but all the indications are that Adbita Chudasama’s side will be going all out for the victory on Saturday. Gargi Bhogle is a quick and free-scoring batter in the middle order with the likes of Chetna Padydyala, Isani Vaghela and Chudasama likely to look to lay a foundation at the top of the order. With the ball, expect Vaghela to lead the attack with Chetnaa Prasad and skipper Chudasama also very threatening on this pitch. Geetika Kodali will also bowl with good pace with the new ball. Weather Conditions According to the weather forecast, there could be a chance of rain throughout this game on Saturday. It will be cloudy and very humid from start to finish with the high temperature at 15 degrees. NEDW vs USA-W Pitch Report The pitch in Amstelveen is normally drier than most others in the Netherlands but with rain around the ball may hold up a little more than usual. Any score above 150 on this pitch should be defendable by either side. Toss: To Bat This pitch is likely to be good for batting throughout the day on Saturday so we predict that both captains will choose to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this match.
