Arshdeep Singh, Suryakumar Yadav power India to Super 8 after hard-fought win over USA – India TV

Image Source : GETTY Indian players celebrating against the USA in New York on June 12, 2024 India recorded an impressive but hard-fought seven-wicket win over the United States of America in the 28th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in New York on Wednesday, June 12. With a win, India secured the Super 8 qualification with a game in hand in Group A. New York’s Nassau County International Stadium produced another low-score fixtures with bowlers from both teams dominating batters. Arshdeep Singh produced the best figures for India in tournament history by taking four wickets for nine to restrict the co-hosts to 110 while bowling first. India lost both openers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma early in the powerplay but Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube produced a match-defining 67-run stand for the fourth wicket to chase down a target with ten balls remaining. Suryakumar top-scored with 50* off 49 balls and Dube added 31* runs after struggling for big shots.  Rohit fielded the same playing eleven for the third consecutive match after winning the crucial toss. The USA were forced to start without a captain Monak Patel who suffered a shoulder niggle and was replaced by Shayan Jahangir.  India playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj.

Bruno Fernandes

Disputed penalty gives Manchester United draw at Bournemouth as CL qualification slips further away

Danijones03 mins

Manchester United needed two penalty decisions to salvage a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth in the English Premier League on Saturday, although the point did little to boost its chances of Champions League soccer next season. United was largely outplayed and trailed 2-1 when a shot by Kobbie Mainoo from outside the area was deflected onto the arm of Adam Smith. Referee Tony Harrington pointed to the spot even though the ball was traveling away from the goal and the Bournemouth player had little time to react. Bruno Fernandes converted the 65th-minute penalty for his second goal of the game to secure a point for United, but it was another unconvincing performance from Erik ten Hag’s side that is unlikely to quell speculation about the manager’s future. Harrington initially awarded Bournemouth an injury-time penalty when Ryan Christie collided with United defender Willy Kambwala as he was running into the box, but a VAR review ruled the foul happened just outside the area. United still has a slim chance of securing Champions League qualification but couldn’t take full advantage of fifth-placed Tottenham’s loss at Newcastle earlier. United is 10 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa and Tottenham with six rounds to go. The Champions League’s new format next season means five teams from the Premier League could qualify for the competition. Dominic Solanke gave Bournemouth the lead after shrugging off Kambwala to break into the area and then slotting a low shot past André Onana. Fernandes equalized by volleying in his second effort from close range but it took only Bournemouth five more minutes to restore its lead as Justin Kluivert was allowed to waltz into the United area unchallenged and beat Onana at his near post. Milos Kerkez had a great chance to make it 3-1 before halftime but headed against the crossbar, and United was then on the right side of the two penalty decisions in the second half. Bournemouth were in 12th place, safe from relegation but seemingly with little chance of earning European qualification. Published By: Saurabh Kumar Published On: Apr 14, 2024

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Perth Scorchers Women vs Hobart Hurricanes Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 23,​ Saturday​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:00 PM IST​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Western Australian Cricket Association, East Perth, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ Women’s Big Bash League, 2024 ​ Hobart Hurricanes Women thrashed Perth Scorchers Women by 72 runs in their previous encounter in WBBL 10. They need to repeat that performance to make their way to the playoffs.  Perth Scorchers Women vs Hobart Hurricanes 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. PRSW vs HHW Match Prediction & Analysis The 38th match of the 2024 Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) will see Perth Scorchers Women take on Hobart Hurricanes Women this Saturday at the W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth. The Scorchers are in fourth place after tying their previous tie against Sydney Sixers. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have slipped to sixth place with 8 points from nine games. The Hurricanes defeated the Scorchers in their previous clash earlier in the season and will feel confident about their chances in this encounter. TEAMS PREVIEW Perth Scorchers Preview Perth Scorchers Women are coming off a thrilling tied game against Sydney Sixers Women at Hobart, where both teams ended up on 126. At one point, the Sixers were cruising to the target but some inspired bowling by Alana King (3-21) restricted their march. The Scorchers are now in fourth place with just one match remaining. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Hobart Hurricanes Women have lost two games in a row, leaving them in fifth place with 8 points and a net run rate of 0.104. With only one game left in the group stage, the Hurricanes need a win to secure their spot in the playoffs. Weather Conditions The W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth typically provides a balanced playing surface for domestic matches. The pitch delivers consistent bounce and carry, making it favorable for fast bowlers, especially with a new ball. Batters will need to navigate the initial deliveries carefully before they can really settle in, as the new ball presents difficulties in both innings. The weather in Perth will be pleasant and breezy. There is no threat of rain, so we should get a full match. PRSW vs HHW Pitch Report The average first innings score at the W.A.C.A. Ground is 140. Last season, the highest total posted here was Brisbane Heat Women’s 197-5 versus Perth Scorchers Women. They won that match by 67 runs. The team batting first will be looking to set a score of around 150-160 runs.  Toss: To Bat All four matches of WBBL 10 played at the W.A.C.A. Ground have been won by the team batting first. Both captains are hence likely to bat first in this match.

My relation with Virat Kohli is not to give masala to the public: Gautam Gambhir | Cricket News

Danijones02 mins

NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir shared a warm embrace during the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League. It was one of the heartwarming moments of the just concluded season. The long-standing alleged hostility between the two former teammates seemed to dissolve as they demonstrated mutual respect and camaraderie. Kohli, the face of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Gambhir, mentor the Kolkata Knight Riders, showed that their past differences were behind them. Gambhir’s return to KKR as a mentor proved to be a masterstroke, as he guided Shreyas Iyer‘s team to their third IPL title. KKR dominated the final, thrashing Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai. This victory ended KKR’s 10-year title drought. Addressing the perceived rift with Kohli, Gambhir told Sportskeeda, “The perception is far away from the reality. My relation with Virat Kohli is something this country doesn’t need to know. He has as much right as I do to express himself and help our respective teams win. Our relation is not to give masala to the public.” Gambhir also praised Kohli’s six-hitting prowess, acknowledging RCB batter’s batting excellence.Kohli had a stellar IPL 2024 season, topping the batting charts with 741 runs in 15 games and winning the prestigious Orange Cap. Earlier, Kohli also reflected on the moment with Gambhir during an event. “People are very disappointed with my behaviour. I hugged Naveen, and then the other day, Gauti bhai (Gautam Gambhir) came and hugged me. Your masala is over so you’re booing. We’re not kids anymore,” Kohli remarked.

NEW DELHI: Venkatesh Iyer’s impressive half-century outshone a similar effort from Suryakumar Yadav, as Mitchell Starc’s four-wicket haul helped Kolkata Knight Riders defeat Mumbai Indians by 24 runs in a low-scoring IPL 2024 match. This victory marked KKR’s first win at the Wankhede Stadium since 2012 and their second ever at the iconic venue.In a match that was largely dictated by bowlers, Iyer saved KKR from a challenging 57/5 with his gritty 70 off 52 balls, guiding them to a modest total of 169. In response, Starc’s four-wicket burst, coupled with the two wickets each from KKR’s spin duo Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, secured a historic win for the two-time champions. Following the game, Mumbai Indians’ star batsman Rohit Sharma was seen giving a hug to KKR’s batting sensation Rinku Singh. Though Rinku did not make India’s main 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA, he has been named as a reserve player. India’s T20 World Cup journey kicks off against Ireland on June 5 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.Mumbai Indians’ social media account shared a video capturing the moment of Rohit’s embrace after the match. Despite his impressive record of 356 runs at an average of 89 and a strike rate of 176.24 in T20Is for India, Rinku’s exclusion has sparked significant debate since the Indian team’s announcement and has created a stir on social media.
