Cricket in uncharted territory as T20 World Cup starts in Texas

Cricket ventures into uncharted territory on Saturday as the first ever major tournament to be staged in the United States gets under way in Texas with the opening game of the T20 World Cup. Cricket in uncharted territory as T20 World Cup starts in Texas A month-long festival of the fastest and most explosive form of the sport which is being shared between venues in Texas, Florida, New York and the Caribbean begins with the US taking on Canada at the Grand Prairie Stadium on the outskirts of Dallas on Saturday. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! It marks the opening skirmish of the first ever major International Cricket Council event to be held in part in the United States. While the bulk of the tournament will be played out in the Caribbean, 16 group stage games in the 20-team tournament will be played on American soil, including the highlight of the group stage a clash between India and Pakistan due to be played in Long Island, New York. The rest of the tournament will be held in the West Indies, including the Super Eight stage, the semi-finals and the final, which will be played at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. While cricket is widely played at a recreational level in the United States, with strong presences in all three of the states that have been chosen for games, organisers are realistic about the chances of “converting” mainstream American sports fans. Instead, they expect that the large immigrant communities from cricket-loving backgrounds, including thousands of India fans in particular, will pack the stadiums. “I think, number one, we want to celebrate those that are already fanatical lovers of cricket. They deserve to see the best players in the world come into their backyard and have that chance,” T20 World Cup USA, Inc. chief executive Brett Jones told AFP. “Number two, I think it’s about spiking curiosity in the game,” he said. The ICC also sees the tournament as a launch pad towards the sport’s return to the Olympics for Los Angeles 2028, when the T20 format will be used. Major League Cricket, a T20 tournament, was launched last year and also stands to benefit from any growth in interest in the big-hitting, spectacular shortest form. But it is not only the American market that the ICC is focused upon the expansion of the tournament has opened up opportunities for newer cricket nations to compete on the big stage. In recent years, the sport has been able to expand outside of its traditional strongholds with Ireland and Afghanistan earning places in the 12-strong elite with full Test status. But the ICC see the T20 format as the perfect vehicle for growing the game and this year’s edition will feature three T20 World Cup debutants in the USA, Canada and Uganda. Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Oman are among the other nations who are relatively new to the big stage and who will be looking to make their mark and grab some attention with an upset win. With the teams drawn in four groups of five teams, with just the top two advancing, none of the smaller nations are expected to progress beyond the group stage and there is a danger the pool stage could mainly be a ‘weeding out’ process. India, winners of the first edition in 2007, are the favourites, with their line-up packed with players from the annual Indian Premier League. Australia, winners of the ODI World Cup last year along with the World Test Championship, opted to leave out their veteran batsman Steve Smith but big-hitting David Warner and pacemen Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins provide plenty of experience. Other possible contenders include defending champions England, who will be without the star of their 2022 triumph Ben Stokes, who is managing his fitness after a knee operation. England warmed up for the tournament with a seven-wicket rout of Pakistan in London on Thursday. Co-hosts West Indies won the tournament in 2012 and 2016 and are hoping that they can benefit from familiarity with the surfaces in the region. South Africa, New Zealand and Pakistan will all fancy their chances of making an impact in a tournament which always produces surprises. sev/rcw/dj This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Surrey vs Durham, T20BLAST, Today Match Prediction

Surrey vs Durham, T20BLAST, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Surrey vs Durham𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Sep 03, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 22:30 AM IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : The Oval, United Kingdom, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Vitality T20 Blast, 2024 Can Surrey go one step closer to their title dreams? Will Durham hold off? Surrey vs Durham 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. SUR vs DUR Match Prediction & Analysis The Vitality T20 Blast resumes after a month and half, with top 4 teams from the North group and the South group ready to rumble. Our focus shifts to the first of the four quarter finals at the Kennington Oval in London, where Surrey take on Durham for a spot in the semi-finals. Surrey, who finished the group stages as table toppers, will be switched on. TEAMS PREVIEW Surrey Preview Surrey, given their incredible run, are red-hot favourites to make it through to the semis. They look like a well-knit unit, having pulled through setbacks and dominated the opposition in most of their matches, especially in their own backyard. Jamie Smith, Will Jacks, and Sam Curran in particular have been in brilliant form, and so has been Laurie Evans and Dom Sibley. Durham Preview Durham lost both its opening two bouts but quickly bounced back to win two in a row. Just when Durham started to look a bit settled, another loss ensued. The following match was rained out, leaving Durham to quickly rack up a few wins with the threat if elimination looming large. But a hat trick of victories against Lancashire, Yorkshire and Worcestershire back home gave Durham a fresh lease of life and they jumped back into contention. But back to back sub-par displays with the bat meant Durham had nothing to fight with, and they conceded a big defeat to Northamptonshire and Yorkshire away from home. Weather Conditions The wicket has not been as placid as we know it to be, but still that hasn’t deterred the batsmen from going out there and having fun. Both batsmen and bowlers have found success in equal measure in these wickets at the Oval this season, and we might see another good contest between the bat and ball in the quarterfinals where anything more than 165 should be competitive. The forecast suggests that we might see some showery weather in the morning, and that there may be some significant cloud cover throughout. SUR vs DUR Pitch Report The Kennington Oval in London will play host to the key encounter. Surrey have made it into a fort, winning 5 and tying 1 game so far. They’ve yet to drop a match at this venue and will be looking to keep that record intact.

Was vice-captaincy point of discussion? Chief selector Ajit Agarkar spills beans on Hardik Pandya's form ahead of T20 WC – India TV

Was vice-captaincy point of discussion? Chief selector Ajit Agarkar spills beans on Hardik Pandya’s form ahead of T20 WC – India TV

Image Source : BCCI/IPL BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar spoke at length about Hardik Pandya and his form in IPL 2024 for the Mumbai Indians Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar and Indian skipper Rohit Sharma addressed the press conference in Mumbai on Thursday, May 2 following the T20 World Cup 2024 squad announcement. The questions ranged from being about Rinku Singh’s absence to the reason for picking four spinners in the squad of 15 and about Hardik Pandya’s form, who has been chosen as vice-captain. Agarkar was asked if there was any discussion regarding the vioce-captaincy and the former India pacer denied it while elaborating on Hardik’s form. “Not really, nothing discussed as regards to vice-captaincy. Form, I mean you want all guys to be in good form. I think he [Hardik] has come after a long-ish layoff but the good part is he has gotten through all the games so far for MI. We have got a month and a little bit [more] till we play our first game. We know he is doing that and the hope is that he keeps building on that form. “As long as he is fit, we know what he brings, the balance he gives to the team. I don’t think there’s a replacement for things he can do as a cricketer at the moment, especially when it comes to the way he bowls really gives balance. I think it’ll give Rohit options to play different combinations. So it’s his fitness for us is critical and so far, fortunately, he’s gone okay in this IPL,” Agarkar added while Rohit beside him nodded. Hardik hasn’t had the best of outings in IPL 2024 leading the Mumbai Indians as he has scored 197 runs in 10 matches averaging 22, at a strike rate of 150. With the ball too, Hardik has had a mixed-0bag taking just six wickets in the competition at an economy of 11. As Agarkar said, Hardik is invaluable to the balance of the side and both the captain and the team management will hope to see the Mumbai Indians skipper slowly building up to his best.

IPL 2024 match today, MI vs SRH: Check likely XIs, head-to-head record, pitch report, and fantasy XI

IPL 2024 match today, MI vs SRH: Check likely XIs, head-to-head record, pitch report, and fantasy XI

It has been contrasting returns in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Mumbai Indians and the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The two teams came into the season with opposing moods around them. While SRH fans were feeling good about their side going all out to get World Cup-winning Australian captain Pat Cummins and then making him skipper, MI fans were dumbfounded by five-time title-winner Rohit Sharma being suddenly replaced by the returning Hardik Pandya in the position The way MI handled the situation with regards to stopping certain questions from being asked angered fans even more and this led to boos ringing out around the stadium almost every time the focus fell on Pandya. Hardik Pandya cut a rather beleaguered and frustrated figure at the end of MI’s loss to KKR in their previous match. (AFP) A number of key players, including Pandya himself, have been woefully out of form for MI. In fact, it could be argued that only pace maestro Jasprit Bumrah has delivered for the five-time champions consistently in every match. And yet, MI seem determined to give Bumrah just one over in the first 10 overs, thus often allowing opposition teams to recover from any damage that he did in the middle overs and often running away with the game.

ALSO READ: KL Rahul laments LSG’s ‘poor performance overall’ after Lucknow Super Giants script embarrassing record vs KKR in IPL Pandya cut a rather beleaguered and frustrated figure at the end of MI’s stunning defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their last game. It marked the first time since 2012, and just the second time in the history of the IPL, that MI had lost to KKR at the Wankhede Stadium. KKR have been one of the teams to beat this season and now, MI face yet another well-oiled machine in the form of SRH. The Sunrisers come into this match on the back of a thrilling one-run win over the Rajasthan Royals, thus condemning the latter to just their second loss of the season. LSG’s loss to KKR on Sunday meant that SRH have climbed up to fourth on the league table going into this match. Meanwhile, MI are languishing at the bottom of the table. MI likely XI (if batting first) Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Nehal Wadhera, Tim David, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah MI likely XI (if bowling first) Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Tim David, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Nuwan Thushara Impact players: Nehal Wadhera, Nuwan Thushara SRH likely XI (if batting first) Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Anmolpreet Singh, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Marco Jansen, Pat Cummins (capt), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan SRH Likely XI (if bowling first) Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Marco Jansen, Pat Cummins (capt), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan Impact Players: Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, Anmolpreet Singh Head-to-head There is very little to separate the two sides with MI leading the head-to-head 12-10. MI also hold a 5-2 edge at the Wankhede Stadium. All of it may not matter though considering how this season has gone for both sides. Pitch Report The Wankhede Stadium is famous for high-scoring matches in limited-overs cricket. However, we saw a different side to it in the last match that happened here, with both MI and KKR’s spinners coming to the fore. Piyush Chawla picked up 1 for 15 in three overs, while Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy returned identical figures of 2/22 in four overs for KKR. Fantasy XI Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Gerald Coetzee, Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah.

MATCH: MI Cape Town vs Joburg Super KingsDATE: Jan 29, 2024TIME: 21:00 IST / 15:30 GMTVENUE: Newlands – Cape town, South Africa TOURNAMENT: SA20 2024 MI Cape Town vs Joburg Super Kings Betting Tips Liam Livingstone was pushed up the order to number three in the last game and hit a four alongside two sixes. We recommend backing the Englishman to be MI Cape Town’s highest run scorer on Monday evening. Kagiso Rabada took 2/26 in the last match and he is a strong choice for MI Cape Town’s top wicket taker in this game.Reeza Hendricks has hit the biggest scores for Joburg Super Kings at the top of the order in this tournament and the opener is our pick for Joburg Super Kings’ highest run scorer in this match. Lizaad Williams has been the most impressive of Joburg Super Kings’ bowlers and we expect him to be their top wicket taker at Newlands.Kagiso Rabada has the experience to get the most out of this pitch in Newlands. We recommend selecting the South Africa international to take over 1.5 wickets in this match. MI Cape Town vs Joburg Super Kings 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. MICT vs JSK T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, SA20 2024 MI Cape Town and Joburg Super Kings go head to head in Match 23 of the 2024 SA20 on Monday evening at Newlands. MI Cape Town are in fifth place in the table with nine points from seven games. The Super Kings are a point behind them at the bottom of the table. Read on as we preview this day-night match. The fixture gets underway in Cape Town at 15:30 local time. MI Cape Town very nearly picked up only their third win of the competition in Match 20 on Saturday when they came up only five runs short against Sunrisers Eastern Cape when chasing 176. It was a good overall performance and if they repeat it in this match then there should be a win for Cape Town in this clash. Joburg Super Kings batted for only 4.4 overs in their last match before the rain arrived at Centurion and the game concluded as a no-result. There was good batting intent in that short innings and the Super Kings will look to repeat that approach in Cape Town. MICT vs JSK Match Toss PredictionAlthough Durban’s Super Giants won the last game at Newlands after batting first, we predict that both teams will want to field first ahead of this clash. MICT vs JSK Pitch ReportJust like all the pitches being used in the SA20, there is good pace at Newlands. There is also some assistance for the quick bowlers so a par score is unlikely to be any higher than 175. Cape Town Weather ReportAccording to the forecast, we could be in for a windy afternoon and evening in Cape Town. Overcast skies are predicted with the temperature in the low twenties and the high teens.

West Indies vs England, ENG vs WI 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 15, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 01:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd T20I 2024 With three games of the series to go, England can wrap it up at the earliest opportunity when they take on West Indies in Gros Islet. West Indies vs England 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. WI vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis This T20I series followed immediately after West Indies triumphed in the ODI series 2-1, but there has been no momentum taken into this shorter format with England cruising to two victories in Barbados. But a switch of islands, and a new ground in the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, could be just what West Indies need after being out-played in both of the openers. Unsurprisingly, there have been changes to West Indies’ squad ahead of this game and the home supporters will be desperate to see them make a difference and keep the series alive. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview After two T20Is with no batter making a half-century and only five wickets taken in total by the bowling attack, something is going to have to change for West Indies in this game. It might need Romario Shepherd, their leading wicket taker with three dismissals and their second highest run scorer in the series, to go up  the order, or it may be that the returning Alzarri Joseph is able to give them enough aggression with the ball to stop England’s attacking run scoring approach. England Preview For England, this series has been a real breath of fresh air after they lost the ODIs and were accused in some quarters of not taking white ball cricket seriously enough. However, the return of captain Jos Buttler has proved to be a huge plus for the side with his calm leadership a feature of both T20Is in the series so far. Weather Conditions Typical Caribbean weather conditions are forecast for this game with humidity high throughout and the threat of rain never too far away. Equally, it will be very warm and it would be a surprise to see any of the players in the field without plenty of sweat on their shirts! WI vs ENG Pitch Report This is a good batting wicket in Gros Islet and one where India skipper Rohit Sharma hit 92 runs from 41 balls in the last T20I here. Equally, in the last head to head between England and West Indies at this venue, Phil Salt also produced a Player of the Match performance so expect good pace in the wicket and the top order batters will be able to take full advantage during the power-play. Toss: To Bowl With four of the last five T20Is at this venue won by the team batting first, we expect both sides to want to post a total in the first innings of the game. This will be a change for England who have won both of the games in this series after fielding first and then chasing down a total.

Virat Kohli’s Epic Gesture For Dinesh Karthik On Being Awarded Orange Cap Is Viral. Watch

Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh came to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)’s rescue in their IPL 2024 clash against Gujarat Titans on Saturday. Chasing a below-par 148 after GT were bowled out for 147, RCB were cruising at 92/0 in 5.5 overs with Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli putting on a show in the Powerplay. However, RCB suffered a mid-innings slump, losing six wickets in the space of 25 runs with Joshua Little and Noor Ahmad sharing five between them. While the seemed to be slipping away from RCB grip, unbeaten cameos from Karthik (21) and Swapnil (15) the side off to its third straight win of the season, and two on the bounce against GT after last weekend’s success in Ahmedabad. There was a party atmosphere in Bengaluru after the match as star batter and former RCB captain Kohli recalimed the Orange Cap from CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. Kohli, who hit a quickfire 42 on Saturday, now has 542 runs in 11 matches, with Gaikwad (509) in action for CSK against Punjab Kings on Sunday. Karthik presented the Orange Cap back to Kohli after the match, and the latter showed a respectful gesture to the former, bowing down to the former before both shared a hug. A video of the same has now gone viral on social media. Consistency is King, and King Kohli proves it once again whether its in health, fitness, or performance on the field! The King is back to being the Orange Cap Holder.#ViratKohli #RCBvGT #PlayBold pic.twitter.com/ACY9uhsXVA — Duroflex (@Duroflex_world) May 4, 2024 Coming back to the match, Du Plessis’ (64) departure triggered a collapse as Gujarat hit back with wickets from Joshua Little and Noor Ahmad to have the opposition in trouble at 117-6 when Kohli was dismissed. Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and  Cameron Green all perished for cheap before Karthik and Swapnil made sure there was no more drama as they steered the team home in an unbeaten stand of 35. Earlier put into bat, Gujarat went three down for 19 inside six over before big-hitter Shahrukh Khan, who top-scored with 37, stood strong in a 61-run stand with David Miller, who hit 30 off 20 balls. The win allowed allowed RCB to climb out of the bottom of the table. They are currently seventh in the points table with three games to go. Left-handed Rahul Tewatia hit a 21-ball 35 and put on another key stand with Rashid Khan to add respect to the total. (With AFP Inputs) Topics mentioned in this article

MATCH: Afghanistan vs IrelandDATE: Mar 12, 2024TIME:17:00 IST / 11:30 GMTVENUE: Sharjah Cricket Stadium – Sharjah, United Arab Emirates TOURNAMENT: 3rd ODI 2024 Afghanistan vs Ireland Betting Tips Rahmanullah Gurbaz was brilliant in the series opener and scored a magnificent hundred.

Back him as the top bowler.Harry Tector scored a magnificent hundred in the first ODI and will be the main batter for Ireland. Back him as top run scorer for Ireland. Mark Adair is the leader of Irish attack and will eye a strong return after a poor outing in first game. Back him as a top bowler for Ireland.The first ODI here saw nearly 600 runs being scored. Also, Afghanistan hit 13 sixes in the match as compared to Ireland’s 5. Once again, Afghanistan are likely to hit more sixes in the game. Afghanistan vs Ireland 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. AFG vs IRE 3rd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips Afghanistan will take on Ireland  in the 2nd ODI of the three match series. The match will be played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium and will start at 5:00 PM IST on March 09. Afghanistan defeated Ireland by 35 runs in the first ODI. Afghanistan batted well and posted a huge score of 310-5. Ireland could only score 275 and thus suffered a defeat. Ireland though had a few positives to take from. Afghanistan were 150-0 in the 30th over so they did well in the end to restrict the hosts to under 350.  During their batting, they were reeling at 34-3 but bounced back to put Afghanistan under pressure, courtesy of a massive partnership between Harry Tector (138) and Lorcan Tucker (85). Had any of the two batters stayed there for long, Ireland could have got even closer or even won the game. Afghanistan will be happy with the win but they will know that Ireland can comeback hard in the second ODI. Ireland have a strong batting so Afghanistan can’t afford to have a poor day with the bat. AFG vs IRE Match Toss PredictionThe captain winning the toss should chase. It is a very good batting surface and defending here won’t be easy. AFG vs IRE Pitch ReportThe wicket is flat and bowlers will have to be impeccable with their lines to trouble the batters. Nearly 600 runs were scored in the first game and the final match can also be a high scoring one. Sharjah Weather ReportThe second ODI was washed out due to rain but there is no such threat in the third game. The temperature will range between 25 and 18 degrees.
