Watch: Lack of communication between Sanju Samson, Avesh Khan results in a near-collision, drop catch | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals wicket-keeper Sanju Samson and pacer Avesh Khan almost ended up in a collision while attempting a catch amid no communication between the two during the clash against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on Saturday.Amid the confusion between the bowler and the ‘keeper, the catch was also dropped and resulted in a couple of runs for the opposition.The incident took place in the penultimate over of the Punjab innings when Avesh bowled a fullish delivery and Ashutosh Sharma miscued his heave to mid-wicket.As soon as the ball ballooned, Avesh went for the catch and so did the teammate and gloveman Samson. As there was no communication between the two, both leaped for the catch simultaneously and neither of them was able to hold on to the ball. Both Samson and Avesh laughed it off along with the teammates as the duo avoided an injury.Despite the drop catch, Royals managed to restrict Punjab to a par 147 for 8 in the 27th match of the league.While Keshav Maharaj and Avesh Khan picked up a couple of wickets each, Trent Boult, Kuldeep Sen and Yuzvendra Chahal bagged a wicket apiece for Rajasthan.For Punjab Ashutosh (31) and Jitesh Sharma (29) were the top scorers.

Australia vs New Zealand Match Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds – Cricket World Cup 2023

Get to Know Who will win AUS vs NZ World Cup 2023 match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, K9Win , Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage. MATCH: Australia vs New ZealandDATE: Oct 28, 2023TIME: 10:30 IST / 5:00 GMTVENUE: HPCA Stadium – Dharamshala, India TOURNAMENT: Cricket World Cup AUS vs NZ Betting Tips Only Quinton de Kock has scored more centuries in this tournament than David Warner with only de Kock and Virat Kohli scoring more runs than the Australian left-hander ahead of Match 26. The opener has been in brilliant form in his last two innings and is targeting his third successive century in the competition. Although he has given chances to the opposition, he has made both Pakistan and the Netherlands pay and Warner is our tip for Australia’s highest run scorer on Saturday. Adam Zampa ended the win over the Netherlands as the leading wicket taker in the tournament and he is targeting his fourth successive 4-wicket haul in this match. He only bowled 3 overs in the game against the Netherlands on Wednesday but that was more than enough as he ran through the lower order who had no answer to his well disguised googly. Zampa is our pick for Australia’s top wicket taker against New Zealand.Daryl Mitchell produced yet another brilliant innings for the Black Caps in the last game against the strong Indian bowling attack as he hit 130 runs from 127 balls. The century was his fourth in this format since April 2023 and he is now averaging 76.10 from his last 12 innings. He looks to get on top of the opposition bowlers early in his innings and we expect more of the same in this match. Mitchell averages 51.72 from 30 ODIs in his career and he is a strong choice for New Zealand’s highest run scorer against Australia. Mitchell Santner has impressed with the ball in every 2023 Cricket World Cup game for New Zealand and is yet to go wicketless. Ahead of Friday’s games, only Adam Zampa had taken more wickets in the tournament than Santner who has already taken a 5-wicket haul and has a strike-rate of 23.83 over the last five matches. He is well worth backing as New Zealand’s top wicket taker in this clash.Only three games ago, Adam Zampa was struggling for confidence and being hit around the ground in most games but he is now a changed man. We recommend choosing him to take over 1.5 wickets in this match. Australia vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Euro Sports Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the K9WIn Cricket Exchange India and website. AUS vs NZ ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 27 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup sees local rivals Australia and New Zealand go head to head at the HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala on Saturday. Australia got off to a poor start in the tournament with defeats against India and South Africa but they have since beaten Sri Lanka, Pakistan and the Netherlands. New Zealand were beaten by India in their last match but had won their previous four fixtures by very strong margins. Both sides are amongst the favourites to finish in the top four and ahead of Friday’s game, New Zealand were in third with Australia one place and two points behind them in fourth spot. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 10:30 local time. Some pundits were foolish enough to write off Australia’s chances after their poor start to the 2023 Cricket World Cup but the team management did not panic and they are reaping the rewards now. This will be a tough game but they have an excellent record against the Black Caps. New Zealand were beaten for the first time in their last match although no team has managed to beat India yet so the result may not be all that revealing. They will be motivated to stay above Australia in the table and we are expecting another competitive performance from Tom Latham’s side. AUS vs NZ Match Toss PredictionSo far in this tournament we have seen two wins for the team batting first and two for the team batting second at this venue. Both sides will be comfortable chasing but we expect the two skippers to choose to field first in this match if they win the toss. AUS vs NZ Pitch ReportWe have seen some close games at the HPCA Stadium in the 2023 Cricket World Cup with the surface offering less opportunity for big scores than some of the other pitches. A par score will be around 300. Dharamsala Weather ReportPartly cloudy conditions are forecast in Dharamsala throughout Saturday. Although humidity levels are set to rise a great deal in the evening, the match should be concluded by then so that will not influence the match.

Get to Know Who will win Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPL 2024 Match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, CBTFJSK Tips, Live score, Win Probability & winning percentage. 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Apr 28, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 IST / 10:00 GMT𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Narendra Modi Stadium – Ahmedabad, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : IPL 2024 Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Betting Tips Sai Sudharsan top scored with 65 runs from 39 balls against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday and the young left-hander is well worth backing as Gujarat Titans’ highest run scorer against RCB. Sandeep Warrier stood out with the ball in their last game with 3/15 and he is our pick for Gujarat Titans’ top wicket taker in this clash.There was another half-century for Virat Kohli in Thursday’s victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad and the opener is our tip for RCB’s highest run scorer against Gujarat Titans. Spinner Karn Sharma took 2/29 in the last game and he is our pick for RCB’s top wicket taker on Sunday.With only one score under 30 so far in the tournament, we recommend selecting Sai Sudharsan to hit over 31.5 runs in this game. Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 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. Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Gujarat Titans take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 45 of the 2024 Indian Premier League at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Titans begin this game on eight points, four points ahead of RCB who are currently at the bottom of the table. Read on as we preview this fixture. This match gets underway in Ahmedabad at 15:30 local time on Sunday 28th April. Gujarat Titans have been one of the most inconsistent sides in this year’s IPL so far and they lost a very tight contest against Delhi Capitals in their last match. However, they have plenty of batting depth and they will fancy their chances against RCB at home. After a miserable losing run, RCB finally got back to winning ways when they beat a very strong Sunrisers Hyderabad side on Thursday. There certainly seems to have been a turnaround in form after they narrowly lost their previous match but they will now need to make it three strong performances in a row to be competitive. GT vs RCB Match Toss PredictionWith 17 of the 31 IPL fixtures at the Narendra Modi Stadium won by the team fielding first, we predict that both captains will walk out to the toss planning to bowl first if they win the toss. GT vs RCB Pitch ReportAlthough we saw only 181 runs and 14 wickets fall on this pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the last game, it is not a bad batting surface. A par score is at least 180 and there is not a huge amount of spin for the slow bowlers to work with so they may be used as a defensive option on this pitch. Ahmedabad Weather ReportThe weather forecast is for clear skies throughout this contest on Sunday afternoon with the temperature likely to be over 35 degrees from start to finish. Low humidity levels and no rain are expected. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Indian Premier League 2024

‘He’s still in his 20s…’: Ruturaj Gaikwad praises ‘young’ CSK wicketkeeper MS Dhoni | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: It’s hard not be a fan of MS Dhoni, especially if you play in the same team and add to that, if you have succeeded the legend as captain of a team that he led to as many as five IPL titles.A day after Chennai Super Kings went down to Punjab Kings by 7 wickets, the host broadcaster shared a video of CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad at a talk show answering a question on MS Dhoni.IPL ORANGE CAP | IPL PURPLE CAP | IPL POINTS TABLE“How did the young wicket-keeper perform in your opinion?” asks the anchor.Gaikwad replies with a smile, “He did quite well, I feel he should be in the Indian team now, he’s doing really well, he played some good shots. The reason why I said young was actually the amount of practice he was doing pre-season, the amount of hard work he was putting in and I think he was playing the best I’ve ever seen since the last five or six years. So I really feel he’s in his prime twenties. He is playing that kind of cricket right now. Definitely he’s still quite young and many more years to come for him to play.” Dhoni has the third best strike rate this IPL season. He has scored 110 runs from 10 matches at a strike rate of 229.17 and an average of 110.00.In the match against Punjab on Wednesday, Dhoni was dismissed for the first time in this IPL edition when he was run out after scoring a 11-ball 14.CSK are at the fourth spot in the points table with five victories and five defeats, and play their next game against Punjab again on Sunday in Dharamsala.

‘Babar Azam se meri koi ladai…’: clarifies Pakistan allrounder | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Pakistani all-rounder Imad Wasim addressed concerns about his relationship with captain Babar Azam ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Wasim dismissed reports of any rift between them, stating that they have a cordial relationship and are focused on winning the tournament for Pakistan. Speaking to the media, Wasim said. “We were just fighting (laughs). No, there are ups and downs everywhere, but I never had a serious fight with Babar, and communication was never stopped. We have to play for Pakistan. We have a population of 25-27 crore, he is our captain, why would we fight? Whoever is the captain of the Pakistan team, you should respect him the same way. So I respect Babar in every case. “Babar k saath meri koi ladai nhi hai (I have no fights with Babar). We just had a meal together. There is no such tension. We are going to play the World Cup, so we can’t even think about these things,” added the all-rounder, who recently chose to take his retirement back in a bid to feature for Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

"Lack Of Faith, Lack Of Skill": Irfan Pathan Tears Into Hardik Pandya's Captaincy

“Lack Of Faith, Lack Of Skill”: Irfan Pathan Tears Into Hardik Pandya’s Captaincy

Mumbai Indians captain and all-rounder Hardik Pandya was put to sword by fans and former cricketers after yet another underwhelming show in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Hardik faced brutal criticism from prominent former players lost the high-profile encounter against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Hardik, who bowled the last over the innings, was ripped apart by the 42-year-old MS Dhoni, conceding 20 runs in the final 4 balls. His decision to bowl at the absolute end has been questioned by many, including former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan. (IPL 2024 Points Table) Booed and heckled by fans ever since he took over MI’s captaincy, Pandya found himself in the line of fire. Hardik was openly criticised by Irfan who put big question marks on the decision-making that the former Gujarat Titans skipper brings to the ground. It was the 26 runs that Pandya conceded in the final over with Mahendra Singh Dhoni going hammer and tongs, which proved to be decisive as Chennai Super Kings notched up a 20-run win over MI. Irfan feels the decision to bowl himself over Akash Madhwal shows lack of faith on the latter. Hardik Pandya bowling the last over showed the lack of faith on Akash madhwal’s bowling and his own lack of skill as a death over bowler. — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) April 14, 2024 The likes of Sunil Gavaskar and Kevin Pietersen also questioned Hardik’s captaincy in the match. “Oh, absolutely ordinary bowling, ordinary captaincy. They should have been restricted despite the fact that Ruturaj Gaikwad had batted so well along with Shivam Dube. I do believe that they should have been restricted to 185-190,” Gavaskar said. “Probably the worst kind of bowling that I’ve seen for a long, long time,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports during the innings break after CSK posted 206 for 4. “It almost looks like I’ve had this embrace with my hero. I’ve got the kind of deliveries that he’s gonna hit for sixes. One six is fine. The next one is a length ball when you know this batter is hunting for a length ball that he wants to hit. “Third ball is again a full toss on the legs when you know he (Dhoni) is looking for a six.” Pandya finished with figures of 2 for 43 from his four overs and also had a tough time with the bat, managing a mere two runs off six balls at a crucial juncture of the game as MI ended at 186 for six despite a fine 63-ball 105 by former skipper Rohit Sharma. Pandya has faced fans’ ire right from the first match and even at the Wankhede Stadium, boos have followed him, forcing Rohit (against Rajasthan Royals) and Virat Kohli (in MI’s game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru) to ask the crowd to calm down a bit. Pietersen feels the outside noise is taking a toll on the flamboyant all-rounder. “I actually think, with Hardik Pandya, everything away from the game is affecting him so much. He’s smiling too much when he does the toss. He’s trying to act like he is so happy. He is not happy. I have been there. I have been in the firing line. And I can tell you now, it affects you. “The boos we have been hearing just now and I know they are happy to see former CSK captain (Dhoni), the lion, smacking him (Hardik) all over the park, it hurts you. Because he has emotions. And he is an Indian player and he doesn’t want to be treated like this. So when this is happening, it’s affecting him, it’s affecting his cricket and something needs to happen.” The 43-year-old former batter also wondered why Pandya didn’t use his spinners when the pacers were being targeted by CSK batters. “What I saw this evening wasn’t good enough. I saw a captain that had plan A from a team meeting that was five hours ago and a captain that didn’t want to go to plan B when he should have gone to plan B. “Like how on this Earth have you not bowled a spinner when your seamers are going for 20. Brian Lara said can we please bowl a spinner? Somebody needs to bowl here. You need to change the pace of the game.” MI will next take on Punjab Kings on April 18 in Chandigarh.
