T20 World Cup: Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya star in India’s easy win over Bangladesh in warm-up game | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant and all-round Hardik Pandya hogged the spotlight as India brushed aside Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup warm-up match in New York on Saturday. In the comfortable 60-run win, India had several positive aspects, with Pant’s fifty being the most significant. Pant’s impressive performance (53 off 32 balls, including 4 fours and 4 sixes) and Hardik’s valuable contribution with both bat and ball (40 not out off 23 balls, with 2 fours and 4 sixes) propelled India to a solid 182 for five after choosing to bat first.Defending the total proved to be a straightforward task as left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh-led India restricted Bangladesh to 122 for nine. Despite a brief resistance from Mahmudullah Riyaz (40 retired out; 28b, 4×4, 1×6) and Shakib Al Hasan (28), who added 75 runs for the sixth wicket, Bangladesh could only manage to reduce the margin of defeat after being reduced to 41 for five.As It HappenedArshdeep, who had a subpar IPL season with Punjab Kings, struck twice within the Powerplay, dismissing Soumya Sarkar and Litton Das. Mohammed Siraj added to Bangladesh’s woes by removing skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (0), leaving them reeling at 10 for three in 3.5 overs. The Indian bowlers showcased their skills in exploiting the slow pitch and sluggish outfield, with pacer Shivam Dube also contributing two wickets (2/11).Bangladesh’s lackluster batting performance highlighted the significance of Pant and Hardik’s innings. Pant’s knock has likely secured his position as the first-choice wicketkeeper-batter for India in the World Cup, giving him an edge over Sanju Samson.Samson, who opened the innings with skipper Rohit Sharma (23, 19b, 2×4, 1×6) in place of Virat Kohli, struggled to adapt to the pitch conditions and was dismissed for a 6-ball 1 by left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam.Suryakumar Yadav (31, 18b, 4×4) and Pandya (40) also made valuable contributions to India’s competitive total. Pant’s exceptional touch, which he displayed during the IPL 2024 for Delhi Capitals, continued in this match as he played his characteristic shots and brought up his fifty in just 32 balls. Hardik, who was dropped on 26, provided the necessary acceleration by smashing three consecutive sixes off left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam, showcasing his power and execution. His innings and confidence might have immensely pleased the team management and himself after a modest outing as Mumbai Indians’ captain in a season where he was subjected to intense professional and personal scrutiny.Bangladesh also suffered an injury scare as Shoriful walked off just before bowling the final ball of the innings, as Tanzim Hasan completed the over.

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction​

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 28, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : IPLT20 2025​ Chennai Super Kings have lost just one game out of nine against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk.  Chennai Super Kings 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. CSK vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lock horns in what promises to be a thrilling battle at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for match eight of IPL 2025. Both teams head into this clash with confidence after securing wins in their opening games. While CSK have often had the upper hand in past encounters, RCB appear more well-rounded this season. Expect a high-intensity showdown with both sides pushing for an early edge in the tournament. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a solid win over long-time rivals Mumbai Indians. Playing on a typical slow Chepauk surface, their spinners kept MI in check, limiting them to 155-9. The chase wasn’t without hiccups, but CSK reached the target with four wickets in hand and five balls remaining. Rachin Ravindra anchored the innings with a composed 65 off 45 deliveries, while skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad provided early momentum with a brisk 53 off 26. Apart from their contributions, the batting lineup struggled, yet the team managed to get the job done. CSK will once again count on strong starts from Rachin and Gaikwad. Gaikwad, in particular, has a great record at Chepauk and will be counted on to deliver.  Shivam Dube is expected to take on RCB’s spinners in the middle phase, while Vijay Shankar could be considered in place of Deepak Hooda to stabilize the middle order. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a strong statement in their season opener, pulling off a convincing win against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on their own turf. They kept KKR to 174-8 and then chased it down comfortably in 16.2 overs, losing only three wickets along the way. Bengaluru delivered in all departments, with Philip Salt (56 off 31) and Virat Kohli (59* off 36) putting on a batting masterclass at the top to make things easy in the chase. Rajat Patidar played his part as well, smashing 34 off just 16 balls to seal the victory. Their top order looks solid with Kohli, Salt, Patidar, and Liam Livingstone, while Jitesh Sharma, Tim David, and Krunal Pandya provide depth in the middle and lower order. Josh Hazlewood could be a game-changer for RCB this season. The Australian pacer was outstanding against KKR, picking up 2-22, and will enjoy bowling at Chepauk. Krunal Pandya’s 3-29 played a decisive role in the previous match, making him a key asset on slower tracks. RCB will also count on Suyash Sharma, Livingstone, and Yash Dayal to pick up wickets in the middle overs. Weather Conditions Chepauk will offer a spin-friendly surface as we saw in the first game here, which becomes slower in the second innings. Batters will look to maximize the powerplay overs because once the ball loses its shine, it will start to turn and grip more. Spinners will have a field day and are likely to bowl the maximum number of overs.  The weather in Chennai will be hot and humid but clear. CSK vs RCB Pitch Report Chepauk’s average first-innings score is 159. In the first match of IPL 2025 played at the venue, MI scored 155-9 after batting first, and CSK chased the target down in 19.1 overs with four wickets in hand. Expect another slowish surface with plenty of assistance to spinners. The team batting first will target a score of around 170-180 to feel confident. Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the better option at Chepauk, unless the team is bundled out for a below-par score. The wicket slows down over time, making it harder to chase later in the game.

"Worst Kind Of Bowling": Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Hardik Pandya After MS Dhoni's Fiery Knock

“Worst Kind Of Bowling”: Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Hardik Pandya After MS Dhoni’s Fiery Knock

Hardik Pandya (L) and MS Dhoni© AFP Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar was furious with Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya after he was hit for three consecutive sixes by MS Dhoni during the IPL 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Hardik was the pick of the MI bowlers with two wickets but he was slammed for 20 runs by Dhoni in the final four balls of the CSK innings. Gavaskar slammed Hardik for his ‘ordinary bowling and ordinary captaincy’ and criticised the kind of deliveries that he produced. “Probably the worst kind of bowling that I’ve seen for a long, long time. It almost looks like I’ve had this embrace with my hero. I’ve got a bowling kind of deliveries that he’s gonna hit for sixes. One 6 is fine. The next one again a length ball when you know that this batter is looking for a length ball to hit. The third ball again, a full toss on the leg side and he’s looking for it and hits it for a 6. Absolutely ordinary bowling, ordinary captaincy,” Gavaskar said during his analysis in the mid-innings break. Gavaskar also referred to the interaction that Hardik and Dhoni had just ahead of the match. Hardik ran to Dhoni and hugged the former India skipper in a moment that has gone viral on social media. Coming to the match, Rohit Sharma’s century went in vain as Mumbai Indians lost to Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs. Rohit played a brilliant knock but the hosts kept losing wickets at regular intervals and an impressive four-wicket haul from Matheesha Pathirana ensured the victory for CSK. Earlier, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube slammed half-centuries while Dhoni provided a late flourish against Hardik’s bowling to take CSK’s total to 206. Thanks to the victory, CSK remain in the third position while Mumbai Indians are eighth in the competition with just four points from six matches. Topics mentioned in this article

Lucknow have won six games this season and begin this fixture just two points behind KKR who occupy second place. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 19:30 local time at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium on May 5th. After losing to Rajasthan Royals in Match 44, Lucknow Super Giants got back to winning ways against Mumbai Indians in their last match and they come into this game in strong form. However, they are up against one of the best sides in this IPL so far. Kolkata Knight Riders won a rollercoaster of a contest in their last game which saw them deep in trouble on 57/5 before recovering to post 169 and then winning the match.

With the temperature expected to drop by five degrees from the first innings to the second innings, we predict that both captains will want to bat first. Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders Pitch ReportThe surface in Lucknow is often a little bit two-paced which means that high scores are the exception.

Lucknow Weather ReportIt will be very hot at the beginning of this game with the temperature likely to be up in the high thirties. And by the end of the match, the forecast is for the temperature to be no lower than 33.

Twenty20 World Cup Group B preview: England, Australia favourites, Scotland the dark horse

In The Hindu’s countdown to the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which commences in the West Indies and USA on June 2, we take a look at the teams in Group ‘B’. ENGLAND: The defending champion would have hoped that the four-match T20I series against Pakistan gives them ideal preparation, but rain has played spoilsport. Nevertheless, key pieces of the puzzle have started to fall in place. Pace spearhead Jofra Archer has made a smooth comeback from injury, while captain Jos Buttler got into the groove with a 51-ball 84 against Pakistan at Birmingham last week. Liam Livingstone. | Photo Credit: Getty Images All-rounder Liam Livingstone, who played his part in the 2022 triumph, will strive to overcome a recent slump in form. T20 World Cup 2024 Group C preview | Three-way race beckons West Indies, New Zealand, and Afghanistan  Key player: Phil Salt: The aggressive opening batter went at a strike-rate of 182 for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024. Salt’s PowerPlay hitting will be crucial to England’s success. The squad: Jos Buttler (Capt.), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley and Mark Wood. AUSTRALIA: As seen in the 2023 50-over Cricket World Cup, the Baggy Greens are at their best in big tournaments. This time should be no different, as the squad is packed with efficient personnel. Travis Head and David Warner will smash it at the top of the order, while left-arm speedster Mitchell Starc will swing it around corners with the new ball. T20 World Cup 2024: Final chance for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli to give India an ICC Trophy after 13 years  The Aussies will be happy to see fast bowler Josh Hazlewood and skipper Mitchell Marsh recover well from injury. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa should come in fresh, having opted out of IPL 2024. Glenn Maxwell’s horror run in the IPL, however, is a cause for concern.

NAMIBIA: With a dominant show in the Africa Region Qualifier, Namibia claimed its third straight T20 World Cup spot. The country cannot be written off, having had some success at the highest level (wins over Sri Lanka and Netherlands in previous T20 World Cups). Twenty20 World Cup countdown: South Africa has the firepower to pass the Group D test  The side will hope that the first warm-up game, where it received a hiding from Australia, was an aberration. Gerhard Erasmas. Photo: Instagram/gerhard_erasmus Key player: Gerhard Erasmus: The captain has long been a consistent performer as a middle-order batter and off-spinner. The squad: Gerhard Erasmus (Capt.), Zane Green, Michael Van Lingen, Dylan Leicher, Ruben Trumpelmann, Jack Brassell, Ben Shikongo, Tangeni Lungameni, Niko Davin, J.J. Smit, Jan Frylinck, J.P. Kotze, David Wiese, Bernard Scholtz, Malan Kruger and P.D. Blignaut. SCOTLAND: In 2018, Scotland made history when it upset neighbour England in an ODI. Memories from that grand occasion will no doubt resurface when the teams meet on June 4 at Barbados. Scotland is a regular participant on this grand stage, having competed in three ODI World Cups (1999, 2007 and 2015) and five T20 World Cups (2007, 2009, 2016, 2021 and 2022). The side made it to the 2024 T20 World Cup with a six-match unbeaten run in the Europe Region Qualifier. Scotland fast bowler Brad Wheal.

OMAN: Making a third T20 World Cup appearance, the squad is primarily made up of players with roots in Pakistan and India. Oman has failed to make it past the group stage in a World Cup, though it has managed to get wins over Ireland and Papua New Guinea. There is quality in the bowling ranks, as left-arm death over specialist Bilal Khan and the strapping Kaleemullah form a good pace duo. Aqib Ilyas. Photo: X/@Aqibilyasoffic1 Key player: Aqib Ilyas: The all-rounder, who took over from Zeeshan Maqsood as the new captain, is a reliable top-order batter and handy spinner. The squad: Aqib Ilyas (Capt.), Zeeshan Maqsood, Kashyap Prajapati, Pratik Athavale, Ayaan Khan, Shoaib Khan, Mohammad Nadeem, Naseem Khushi (wk), Mehran Khan, Bilal Khan, Rafiullah, Kaleemullah, Fayyaz Butt, Shakeel Ahmad and Khalid Kail.

David Warner opens up on getting blocked by SRH on social media: ‘It was bizarre, it did hurt’

David Warner opens up on getting blocked by SRH on social media: ‘It was bizarre, it did hurt’

Australia opener David Warner feels it was bizarre when Sunrisers Hyderabad blocked him from social media after releasing him from the squad. Warner led the Hyderabad-based franchise to their lone IPL title in 2016 and was their most successful captain. The left-handed batter was sacked as SRH captain midway in IPL 2022 after his relations with the franchise went sour. Kane Williamson took over the captaincy charge midseason, but they finished the season with three wins in 14 games. David Warner left Sunrisers Hyderabad after IPL 2021.(IPL/Twitter) Warner won Orange Cap twice while playing for Sunrisers as he ended his association with them after scoring 4,014 runs. He led them to 35 wins in 67 matches as captain. Last year, Warner got to know, he was blocked by SRH on social media when he was trying to tag them on his Instagram story. In a conversation with Ravichandran Ashwin on his YouTube channel, Warner talked about his tainted relationship with SRH, however, he didn’t reveal anything about his exit but admitted he was hurt when they blocked him. “It did (hurt) because it was a sense of like hurt for fans. The fans are the most important relationship you could have. With the engagement with the fans that I had, with the team had was very good,” Warner said. The swashbuckling opener said that engaging with fans is most important to him, and it felt bizarre when SRH blocked him from social media, but he still stays connected with the fans. “Not sure why I was blocked. But, I did engage with a lot of fans on the social media side for SRH. I did feel it was my duty to engage with the fans, making sure they keep coming back. That’s what is most important. But from the blocking point of view, I don’t know. I have been sitting on it for about 5 years. It was bizarre. At the end of the day, I still got fans who come onto my page and talk to everyone. So it’s great,” he added. Meanwhile, Warner is going through a lean patch in IPL this season and scored just 167 runs in 7 matches for Delhi Capitals and has scored just one half-century. Capitals have been inconsistent so far, winning five and losing six of their last 11 games. While winning the remaining three games is a must for Pant’s men, even that will only take them to 16 points which might not be enough to qualify for the last four stage of the tournament.

MATCH: West Indies vs EnglandDATE: Dec 16, 2023TIME: 23:00 IST / 17:30 GMTVENUE: National Cricket Stadium – Saint George’s, Grenada TOURNAMENT: West Indies vs England 3rd T20 West Indies vs England Betting Tips Brandon King has scored over 100 runs in the series already and the opener is our tip for West Indies’ highest run scorer in the third T20I. Alzarri Joseph was the standout bowler on Thursday with figures of 3/39 and the pace bowler is a strong choice for West Indies’ top wicket taker in this game.Phil Salt has got England off to a quick start at the top of the order in both games of the series so far and we are backing him to be their highest run scorer against West Indies. Adil Rashid has taken 2/11 and 2/25 across the first two matches and the experienced spinner is our pick for England’s top wicket taker on Saturday.Adil Rashid has taken 2+ wickets in eight of his last nine international appearances and we suggest backing him to take over 1.5 wickets in this match. 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 3rd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips After a 4 wicket victory in Barbados on Tuesday and a 10 run win in Grenada on Thursday, West Indies have the opportunity to clinch the five-match T20I series against England when the two sides go head to head once more on Saturday afternoon. Read on as we preview this third T20I of the series. The game gets underway at the national Cricket Stadium at 13:30 local time. West Indies got over the line by a 10 run margin in Grenada on Thursday but the win was more comfortable than the scoreline suggested. The hosts have mastered the conditions in both games and outplayed England so far in the series. They now need to maintain that level in this T20I as well. With only one bowler going wicketless in the second T20I, it was the batters who let England down as reflected by bowling all-rounder Sam Curran top scoring. If the visitors can get a big score from one of their top three then they should be able to get back into the series. WI vs ENG Match Toss PredictionEngland won the toss and chose to field first in the second T20I but their defeat means that seven of eight T20Is at this venue have been won by the team batting first. We predict that both captains will choose to bat first if they win the toss. WI vs ENG Pitch ReportThere was more spin than expected from the surface on Thursday so we anticipate there will be plenty of turn again in this match. Any first innings score over 180 will be tough to chase down in the second innings. Grenada Weather ReportThere could be some rain showers around much earlier in the day on Saturday in Grenada but across the scheduled time, we are expecting dry conditions with the temperature in the high 20s. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for West Indies vs England 3rd T20 2023.
