‘It will be tough to refuse ICC events’: Rashid Latif warns India amid doubts over visit to Pakistan for Champions Trophy | Cricket News

Danijones03 mins

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif has stated that India will need to provide a “logical answer” to the ICC if they choose not to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy next year. He believes that refusing to participate in an ICC event can have negative consequences for the team. Sources have indicated that Team India may not take part in the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, with discussions about potentially changing the venue or adopting a hybrid model. “You can refuse the bilateral series. But it will be tough to refuse ICC events. When ICC chalk out its plan, the teams know where they have to play, like Pakistan knew that they have to go to India to play the World Cup, and contracts are signed accordingly for cricket boards,” Latif said.He further added, “It seems a bit tough to refuse ICC events… In the 1996 World Cup, Australia and West Indies refused to go to Sri Lanka and the entire group changed and Sri Lanka became the champion. This was a very big mistake… If India or Pakistan has signed in, they will have to go for that event. If any circumstances occur on a government level, then you have to provide a logical answer as to why not coming. You can refuse the bilateral series citing the conditions in Pakistan are not right etc etc… In my opinion, refusing an ICC event can backfire.”According to reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board has suggested to the ICC that India’s qualifying round matches during the Champions Trophy be held in a single city. The PCB has selected Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Lahore as the tournament venues, with Lahore hosting the final match.(Inputs from IANS)

Even though he has not been at his best in IPL 2024, he still is the team’s best bet to top score for the side. With the ball, Kagiso Rabada has been top notch, taking six wickets in four matches. Back him as top bowler.SRH have many heroes in the team but none bigger than Heinrich Klassen who has taken IPL 2024 by storm. Klassen has been dubbed as the best T20 batter going around and has lived up to the expectations with blistering strokeplay. He has scored 177 runs in four games at a strike rate of 203. Back him as top SRH batter. T Natarajan, who bowls a lot of cutters, can be effective in Chandigarh. Back him as top SRH bowler.SRH are leading the charts of most sixes in IPL 2024. Given the quality of power-hitters in the team, total sixes for SRH in the match should be over 10.5 if they bat first.

Punjab Kings found a new hero in their previous game against Gujarat Titans. Shashank Singh, an unknown name in IPL, scored 61 in 29 balls to help PBKS chase 201. PBKS have shown glimpses of brilliance at times but the team has almost always struggled because of inconsistent performances. This season has been no different. Shikhar Dhawan is someone you would back for consistency and he has somewhat lived up to the expectations as well, but lack of runs from Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone has not worked well  The same has been the case with their bowling where Kagiso Rabada has been brilliant but has lacked support from other end.  PBKS will be up against Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have lost two out of the four games but look a force to reckon with. SRH’s batting this season looks to be one of the best in the tournament and the players have been in ruthless form. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klassen form a lethal batting line-up and if the batters get on a roll, it will be very hard to stop them. The way SRH is playing at the moment, PBKS will be have to punch above their weight to stop their juggernaut.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Bud Cricket Club vs Gauhati Town Club 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Sep 10, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:00 PM IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Nehru Stadium, Guwahati, Kamrup Metropolitan, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Assam T20 Pride Cup, 2024 Gauhati Town Club have beaten Bud Cricket Club quite comfortably earlier in the tournament.  Bud Cricket Club vs Gauhati Town Club 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. TEAMS PREVIEW Bud Cricket Club Preview Bud Cricket Club have managed just two wins so far from their five games. They are coming off a 2-run loss to River Rine Club. Bud CC need to get some wins under their belt quickly or the season will slip away from them very soon. Gauhati Town Club Preview Gauhati Town Club too have managed just two wins this season, although they have played six games. They are coming off a 1-wicket loss to City Cricket Club. Arnav Borah tops Gauhati’s batting charts with 122 runs in 5 innings at a strike rate of 93.13. He is closely followed by Bishal Sharma (113 runs in 5 innings at 88.98) and Yuvraj Tewari (89 runs in 5 innings at 90.82).  Weather Conditions Batsmen have struggled to find their rhythm on the challenging pitch at the Nehru Stadium in Guwahati. Bowlers have capitalized on the slow and seam-friendly conditions, making it difficult for batsmen to score runs consistently. Spinners will be tough to score off when the ball becomes a little soft. The pitch’s slow nature and seam movement have made it difficult for batsmen to score runs freely, requiring patience and technical skill. BCC vs GTC Pitch Report There have hardly been any high-scoring matches seen at the Nehru Stadium in the Assam T20 Pride Cup 2024. The highest total posted here this season is 167/5 by New Star Club against Ankurjyoti Club. That was the only instance of a team posting a 150+ score in the tournament. Given the trend, a score around 120 runs is expected to be competitive.

No-ball nightmare on IPL debut: MI's Anshul Kamboj offers extra life to Travis Head

No-ball nightmare on IPL debut: MI’s Anshul Kamboj offers extra life to Travis Head

Danijones04 mins

23-year-old Anshul Kamboj had a difficult Indian Premier League debut as the MI pacer bowled two no-balls in his second over and saw opportunities to dismiss Travis Head go down the drain not once, but twice. Anshul Kamboj leaked 32 runs in his first two overs in MI’s penultimate home game of the IPL 2024 season against SunRisers on May 6. Anshul Kamboj witnessed a see-saw of emotions in his IPL debut as he shattered the stump, breaching Travis Head’s defence when the in-form Australian opener was batting on 24. However, it turned out to be a no-ball as the buzzer at the Wankhede Stadium went off, much to the disappointment of the young fast bowler. Travis Head made full use of the free-hit as he hit a boundary. As it turned out, Anshul Kamboj had over-stepped in the free-hit delivery as well and the no-ball buzzer went off again. Head once again had the license to free his arms and he did so to pick up another boundary. Anshul did not have the best of outings in the powerplay, but captain Hardik Pandya and senior fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah had their arms around the young man’s shoulder. MI vs SRH, IPL 2024 Updates | Scorecard The support was evident as Anshul was given another over, this time after the powerplay. The 23-year-old was shattered once again as he nearly had Travis Head’s wicket in his 3rd over. A thick outside edge from the Australia batter flew toward the deep point region, but Nuwan Tushara, who was fielding along the boundary rope, dropped a simple catching opportunity. Anshul had to wait a bit longer for his first wicket in IPL. In the very next delivery, he bowled a delivery that seamed in after pitching and shattered into the stumps of Mayank Agarwal. The senior India batter became the 23-year-old’s first victim in the IPL. Anshul had an eventful outing as Hardik Pandya trusted the youngster to bowl all his four overs inside the first 10 overs of SRH’s innings. Consistently in the higher 130s, Anshul did trouble the batters with his ability to swing and seam the delivery, but a couple of no-balls ruined his figures. WHO IS ANSHUL KAMBOJ Anshul Kamboj, who hails from Haryana, specialises in medium-pace bowling. Originating from Karnal, he represented India Under-19 in the past. Anshul notably became the second Indian player to make his debut for the Mumbai Indians this IPL season, following Naman Dhir. His exceptional performance in the recent edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy saw him clinch 17 wickets in 10 matches. Anshul Kamboj finished with figures of 1 for 42 in 4 overs on his debut for MI on Monday. Published By: Akshay Ramesh Published On: May 6, 2024

Andre Russell nearly slams bat in Wankhede railing after horrible mix up as Hardik Pandya pulls off incredible run out

Andre Russell nearly slams bat in Wankhede railing after horrible mix up as Hardik Pandya pulls off incredible run out

Danijones04 mins

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya may not have been economical with the ball, conceding 44 runs in four overs against Kolkata Knight Riders in their do-or-die IPL 2024 clash at the Wankhede Stadium, but he did pull off an incredible run out dismissal on Friday as Andre Russell paid the price of a horrible mix up with Venkatesh Iyer. The dismissal left Russell fuming as he almost smashed his bat on the Wankhede railing. Hardik Pandya pulls off incredible run out during MI vs KKR It happened in the final ball of the 17th over of KKR’s batting innings when Iyer executed the reverse sweep against the fuller delivery outside off but it was found the short third man. As soon as the shot was played, Russell took off for a quick single and did not have his eyes on the fielder. Iyer, on the other hand, kept his eyes on the ball. He did take a few steps down the wickets, but quickly returned to position. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! Russell, realising it late, quickly turned back to save his wicket and he did stand a chance to continue his knock after Nuwan Thushara threw the ball well wide off the stumps at the non-striker’s end. But Hardik showed incredible awareness and athleticism as he collected the ball well, turned back, dived and took the bails off with one hand to dismiss Russell for 7 off just 2. Although Russell did not react initially as he sprinted towards the pavilion even as the umpires had a look at it, he was seen infuriated as he walked up the stairs towards the pavilion and he almost smashed his bat on the Wankhede railing in frustration. On a sluggish Wankhede track, KKR’s aggressive approach with the bat came a cropper as they were bowled out for just 169 runs in 19.5 overs. Iyer scored 70 off 52 balls but his selfish act of trying to preserve his own wicket by sacrificing enforcer Russell certainly cost visitors 20 runs. Veteran Manish Pandey scored 42 off 31 balls in a stand of 83 for the sixth wicket with Iyer. Just like the top-order was blown away before the total reached 60, the last five fell for just 29 runs as Jasprit Bumrah, who picked three wickets for 18 runs to reclaim the Purple Cap, was too hot to handle with his toe-crushers at the death.

‘Mumbai Indians ki kahani khatam’: What went wrong for five-time IPL champions | Cricket News

Danijones05 mins

Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are all but out of the race to IPL 2024 playoffs. Going through one of their worst seasons in IPL history, Hardik Pandya & Co. faced their eighth defeat in 11 matches, losing to Kolkata Knight Riders by 24 runs on their home ground, Wankhede Stadium, on Friday.IPL STANDINGS: Points Table | Orange Cap | Purple Cap The defeat, which was MI’s first against KKR at the Wankhede in 12 years, once again brought Hardik ‘s captaincy in focus. “This was such a good team on paper but was not managed well. The questions that were being raised about Hardik Pandya’s captaincy were absolutely correct,” said former India pacer Irfan Pathan, analysing the game in a video on social media. KKR put up 169 on the board, thanks to a half-century by Venkatesh Iyer (70 off 52 balls) and an equally crucial 31-ball 42 by Manish Pandey, despite MI having the visitors on the ropes at 57/5 in just the seventh over.WATCH VIDEO “When you had KKR’s five wickets for just 57 runs, there was no need to give Naman Dhir three overs in a row. You should have got your main bowlers on, but you had your sixth bowler deliver three overs. That allowed Venkatesh Iyer and Manish Pandey to put a partnership together….Where you could have bowled KKR out for 150, they went on to make 170, and that turned out to be the difference,” added Pathan, raising questions on captain Hardik’s decisions on the field. Mitchell Starc, the most expensive player in IPL history, finally did justice to his price tag with match-winning figures of 4/33 as Mumbai folded up for 145 in 18.5 overs despite Suryakumar Yadav’s 35-ball 56. Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell took two wickets each. “KKR now looks like a ‘khatarnak’ (dangerous) team after Mitchell Starc’s return to form. They had just one weak link in fast bowling, which was Mitchell Starc’s bowling. The way he bowled to Tim David must be appreciated,” analysed Irfan.The win took KKR to No. 2 on the points table with seven wins in 10 matches. Coming back to MI captaincy, which had changed hands from Rohit Sharma to Hardik before the start of this season, Irfan said MI is not playing as a unit under Hardik’s captaincy. “In cricket, captaincy has a huge effect and it’s very important to manage, which did not happen. Mumbai Indians isn’t looking like a team that is playing as a unit, and this aspect needs to be looked at going forward for Mumbai Indians. Players need to respect the captain and also accept him appreciably, this is very important. That, I think, could not be seen on the field,” the former cricketer cum commentator said. “Whatever the reason is, they have to think about it and improve.”

Best Catch Of IPL 2024? Kolkata Knight Riders Star’s Stunning Effort Leaves Fans Awestruck – Watch

Danijones04 mins

Ramandeep Singh completes a stunning catch during IPL 2024© BCCI Ramandeep Singh pulled of a sensational catch that many fans and experts hailed as the “best catch of IPL 2024” during the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday. During the second over of the LSG innings, young opener Arshin Kulkarni top-edged a swinging delivery from Mitchell Starc and the ball went high up in the night sky. Ramandeep was nowhere close to the ball but he sprinted a huge distance before pulling a full body dive to complete the catch. The effort left even the commentators awestruck as former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri screamed –  “That’s up in the air, difficult chance…ohhhhh! What a catch! Is that the best catch of the IPL?”. Former India star Deep Dasgupta agreed with him and responded with an “Oh my God”. Catch of the season so far, #KnightsArmy?pic.twitter.com/o76mu0UpAg — KolkataKnightRiders (@KKRiders) May 5, 2024 Coming to the match, Sunil Narine top-scored for KKR once again with 81 while Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy took three wickets each to guide the visitors to a huge win over LSG. “Lot of runs. Poor performance overall. It was a big total. Like I said, It’s a poor performance with both bat and ball. Narine in powerplay puts a lot of pressure. Our bowlers couldn’t handle this pressure. That’s how the IPL is. You will come against good players and that when you will be tested.” “Wicket is very good. There is a bit of bounce if you bowl hard length. It wasn’t a bad pitch. 235 was 20-30 runs were above par. Our batting was poor. We prepare in advance, we talk about the opposition batters, trying to see what kind of plans we need to come up with.” “We need to execute it when we come here, but we didn’t we make a couple of mistakes against Sunil and anyone who strikes well. Once we go back to dressing room, we move on from this game and see where we went wrong. Last home game, we are on the road for the next few games, we need to be little bit more fearless,” LSG captain KL Rahul said after the match.
