West Indies also defeated Australia in the warm-up game ahead of the main league.  Usually, a team needs a collective performance to win a big tournament but that’s not the case with West Indies. They have so much brute power in the team that a good day for two or three players is good enough for them to take down the best team. The team probably has the best batting line-up in the tournament.  For PNG, it will take a mammoth effort from them to beat West Indies; however, upsets in T20Is are not rare. However, PNG does not seem to have the quality to test this West Indies team even if they play their best cricket.

With DL method coming into play, chasing will be preferred by captains. West Indies vs Papua New Guinea Pitch ReportThe wicket at the Providence Stadium in Guyana will be good for cricket.

Pakistan targets right T20 combination against understrength New Zealand | Cricket

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. That match is due to be played at a 34,000-capacity temporary venue in Long Island, New York on June 9. 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. USA batsman Aaron Jones said the hosts are aiming to impress American fans both on and off the field. “Obviously what you do on the field is very important,” Jones said. “We want to get a lot more support from the American born-and-raised people. “I think we could only do that by playing good on the field and obviously interacting with the fans or the growing fans off the field as well.” 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 lineup 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/js This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Can Dravid extract the best out of the Men in Blue and bow out on a high?

Can Dravid extract the best out of the Men in Blue and bow out on a high?

Real test: The experienced Indian squad has its task cut out as it sets out to break a decade-long drought in ICC tournaments. | Photo Credit: X@IMRO45 It was in November 2021 that Rahul Dravid, then the newly appointed India head coach, stated that his side needed to focus on three “big events” — the 2022 T20 World Cup, the 2021-23 ICC World Test Championship, and the 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup. To claim an ICC trophy was paramount for Dravid and his men, having faced a drought since the exploits of M.S. Dhoni’s side in the 2013 Champions Trophy. So here we are, nearly three years later, approaching the end of Dravid’s reign. The three big events have come and gone, and India is yet to scale the highest peak. The 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup presents Dravid the last chance to add that exclamation point to his coaching tenure. Much like Dravid, captain Rohit Sharma cannot escape a world event without repeatedly being reminded about India’s long empty cabinet. Rohit came closest to achieving the dream last year, disrupted only by a ruthless Australia in the final of the 2023 ODI CWC. Rohit also led the charge at the previous edition of the T20 mega event, where eventual champion England thumped India by 10 wickets in the semifinal. Rohit will have much of the same personnel from two years ago on duty here. Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav, the highest and third highest tournament run scorers in 2022, come in hot again on the back of good performances in IPL 2024. The presence of Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the festivities in 2022 due to a back injury, makes the line-up far more potent. Bumrah’s yorkers and pinpoint accuracy can pull the team out of desperate times. The team management will do well to implore the players to learn from a grave mistake committed in the 2023 final. The batters were much too cautious at Ahmedabad — a mistake that can sound the death knell in modern-day T20 cricket. Attack, attack, attack, and live with the consequences — this is the only way to go. It would be no exaggeration to state that India has received a favourable draw. It faces no banana skin in Group A, with Pakistan being the only major threat. At least on paper, Ireland, USA, and Canada should be easy pickings. India’s progress to the Super 8s — reserved for the top two teams in each group — is virtually guaranteed. No World Cup is complete without a marquee India-Pakistan game. It is the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York which will play host to this highly-anticipated game on June 9. Kohli’s majestic straight six off Haris Rauf at Melbourne is still fresh in the memory. The occasion demands another highlight for the ages. The bigger tests await in the Super 8s, which will be held in the West Indies. India, and Dravid in particular, will not carry good memories from the last time the Caribbean hosted a big event. Visuals from the 2007 World Cup shock group-stage exit, under the captaincy of Dravid, is best buried and forgotten. Thankfully, this group of players bear no scars from that horror. And thus another quest begins. Dravid, Rohit & Co. will be desperate not to return empty-handed.

French Open: Stefanos Tsitsipas reaches 4th round to setup Matteo Arnaldi clash

French Open: Stefanos Tsitsipas reaches 4th round to setup Matteo Arnaldi clash

Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas continued his march in the French Open as he aims to secure his first Grand Slam of his career. The Greek sensation dominated his match against China’s Zhang Zhizhen at the French Open, securing a comfortable victory with a scoreline of 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. This win marks Tsitsipas’s sixth consecutive entry into the fourth round at Roland Garros. Tsitsipas, who reached the final in 2021, displayed his prowess on the court by unleashing over 30 winners throughout the match, which lasted a brisk 91 minutes. He now sets his sights on a clash with Matteo Arnaldi of Italy, who caused a stir by defeating the sixth seed, Andrey Rublev, earlier in the day. Zhang Zhizhen, who made history last year as the first Chinese man in 86 years to win a main-draw match at the French Open, couldn’t replicate his previous success. Throughout the match, he struggled to create break-point opportunities, ultimately unable to mount a significant challenge against Tsitsipas’s dominant performance. How did Tsitsipas dominate Zhizhen? From the outset, Tsitsipas asserted his authority by claiming the first three games of the match. He maintained this momentum, breaking Zhang’s serve early in the second set. Tsitsipas showcased flawless tennis, committing only three unforced errors in the second set while consistently pressuring Zhang’s serve. As the match progressed, Zhang’s forehand faltered, leading to crucial errors that allowed Tsitsipas to capitalize and secure breaks, particularly in the third set. With Zhang unable to find his rhythm, Tsitsipas seized control and closed out the match convincingly. Overall, Tsitsipas demonstrated his class and determination, setting himself up for a promising continuation in the tournament as he aims for further success at Roland Garros. The Greek star will face Arnaldi on June 2, Sunday. Published On: May 31, 2024

Aiden Markram believes South Africa are one title away from multiple ICC World Cups – India TV

Aiden Markram believes South Africa are one title away from multiple ICC World Cups – India TV

Image Source : GETTY South Africa T20I captain Aiden Markram. South Africa and their dream of a World Cup crown is a heart-breaking story. The Proteas have boasted several match-winners over the past few decades, but have agonisingly fallen short of a World Cup trophy. South Africa’s only ICC title is the 1998 Champions trophy and despite coming close on several occasions, they have fallen short without that elusive title, giving them the tag of a choker side. However, team captain Aiden Markram believes that the Proteas are just one World Cup away from winning multiple trophies. Speaking in a press conference ahead of the World Cup, Markram said that this Proteas side has it in itself to go all the way in a World Cup. “I definitely think we have what it takes and it’s a World Cup it’s a really high level of cricket. I think this group has now been together for quite a few years. We’ve shown through many performances in the past few years that we’re able to beat the best in the world.  “So, I’m quietly confident that this team has what it takes to win the World Cup. I think once we’re able to get that first elusive one I think potentially quite a few could follow after that,” Markram said in a press conference.  The Proteas had a great chance to reach the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2022 but their shocking loss to the one team no one which no one expected ended their hopes for the last four. The Proteas suffered a shocking loss to the Netherlands and were knocked out of the tournament. They could not qualify for the T20 World Cup 2021 due to an inferior Net run rate in the Super 12 stage of the tournament. They needed a top-two finish to qualify for the semis but had an inferior NRR than the second-placed Australia, who became the champions ultimately.  The Proteas justified their chokers of losing in the semifinals once again when they lost to Australia in the last-four clash in the ODI World Cup 2023. They were blown away by the Aussies in the ODI WC 2007 semifinal too.  South Africa are placed in a tough group in the T20 World Cup 2024. They find themselves in Group D alongside Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Nepal.

Champions League: Thibaut Courtois to start for Real Madrid in final, says Carlo Ancelotti

Champions League: Thibaut Courtois to start for Real Madrid in final, says Carlo Ancelotti

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti announced on Friday that Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will start in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on Saturday. This announcement ends weeks of speculation regarding the team’s goalkeeping position. Courtois, widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, has made a remarkable comeback after a lengthy injury absence due to a torn ACL suffered last August. Since his return, he has started in five matches, demonstrating his exceptional skills and form. The Belgian’s return presented Ancelotti with a difficult decision, as Andriy Lunin, who stepped in during Courtois’s absence, performed admirably. The Ukrainian goalkeeper was instrumental in Real Madrid’s LaLiga title campaign and played a crucial role in their dramatic penalty shootout victory against Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals. “Lunin has had the flu and will travel from Madrid tomorrow. He is fine, but tomorrow he will be on the bench. Courtois will play,” Ancelotti told a press conference at Wembley on Friday. Ancelotti admitted that his club is aware that they are considered heavy favourites against a Dortmund team that finished fifth in the Bundesliga this season. However, the Italian stated that he and his players were experienced enough not to fall into the trap of being overconfident. “A final is the most important match, but also the most dangerous. You have to enjoy being here, and we’re going to do that, but then there’s the worry that something could go wrong,” Ancelotti added. “You feel that winning the Champions League is very close and you’re afraid that it might slip away. The important thing is that we know that we have to do everything very well, have a bit of luck and never give up.” Modric agreed, stating that the Spanish team, which includes himself, Toni Kroos, Nacho, and Dani Carvajal, is focused and has shut out the clamour on Saturday as they attempt to equal Real Madrid great Paco Gento’s record six European Cup triumphs. “Everyone is saying that we’re the favourites, but it’s not like that, I see a 50-50,” Modric said. “Dortmund are a big club, they have had a great season in the Champions League and they will make it very difficult for us. We need concentration and to demonstrate on the field that we are capable of beating them.” Published By: Saurabh Kumar Published On: May 31, 2024
