Zimbabwe's Campbell Misses Easy Run-Out in Hilarious Blunder

Zimbabwe’s Campbell Misses Easy Run-Out in Hilarious Blunder

By May 11, 2024 0

Cricket, a game of intense competition and skill, often provides moments of hilarity and amusement. During the fourth T20I between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in Dhaka, an incident occurred that left both players and commentators in disbelief.

In the final over of Bangladesh’s innings, Blessing Muzarabani bowled a slower ball to Tanvir Islam. Islam defended the ball to Muzarabani’s right, who missed an opportunity to run out Mustafizur Rahman. The ball reached third man, and the batters attempted a second run. However, Mustafizur had run a considerable distance, making it an easy run-out at the bowler’s end.

As the throw came from third man to the non-striker’s end, Jonathan Campbell fumbled but still had ample time to run out Mustafizur. However, in a comical turn of events, Campbell under-armed the ball from a few meters away and missed the stumps. The Zimbabwean players and commentators were left in disbelief at the missed opportunity.

Campbell could have easily dived and removed the stumps, but his close-range miss provided a moment of laughter and amusement. Bangladesh went on to win the match by five runs, securing the series victory after winning the first three matches. Zimbabwe will wrap up their tour with the fifth and final match of the series in Dhaka on Sunday.

Ireland Stuns Pakistan, Babar Azam Equals Kohli's T20I Record

Ireland Stuns Pakistan, Babar Azam Equals Kohli’s T20I Record

By May 11, 2024 0

Babar Azam Equals Virat Kohli’s Record in Ireland’s Victory Over Pakistan

In a thrilling Twenty20 International (T20I) encounter in Dublin, Ireland secured a historic five-wicket victory over Pakistan, marking their first triumph against the visitors in 17 years. However, Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, found solace in a personal milestone.

Azam’s scintillating 43-ball 57 propelled Pakistan to a competitive total of 182/6. His knock not only guided his team to a respectable score but also etched his name alongside Indian batting legend Virat Kohli in the record books.

With this fifty, Azam equaled Kohli’s remarkable feat of most fifty-plus scores in men’s T20Is. Both players now boast an impressive tally of 38 such scores. While Kohli has amassed 37 fifties and a century, Azam has registered 35 half-centuries and three centuries.

Despite their shared record, Kohli and Azam possess distinct batting styles. Kohli is renowned for his unwavering consistency across all formats, with an exceptional record in both Test and limited-overs cricket. His ability to chase down targets and adapt to diverse situations makes him a formidable batsman.

On the other hand, Azam has garnered acclaim for his elegant stroke play and solid technique. He has excelled in limited-overs cricket, consistently delivering impressive performances for Pakistan. His proficiency in handling both pace and spin bowling has made him a pivotal player for his team.

Statistically, Kohli holds an edge over Azam in terms of average and centuries across formats. However, both players have carved their own unique paths and contributed significantly to their respective teams’ successes.

While Kohli has established himself as a global icon with a proven track record, Azam has showcased immense potential and continues to impress with his batting prowess. The highly anticipated T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan on June 9 promises to be a captivating spectacle.

Ireland’s victory in Dublin has given them a 1-0 lead in the three-match series against Pakistan. The two teams will also face off in the group stage of next month’s T20 World Cup in the United States and the West Indies.

Ireland Stuns Pakistan in Historic T20I Victory

Ireland Stuns Pakistan in Historic T20I Victory

By May 10, 2024 0

Ireland’s historic victory over Pakistan in their first T20I encounter in 15 years was a testament to the hosts’ resilience and the brilliance of Andy Balbirnie. Balbirnie’s masterful 77, coupled with Harry Tector’s 36, laid the foundation for Ireland’s successful chase of 183.

The chase was far from straightforward, with Pakistan’s bowlers putting up a spirited fight. However, cameos from George Dockrell and Curtis Campher proved crucial in guiding Ireland over the line. The final overs were a tense affair, with Ireland needing 40 runs from the last four overs.

Pakistan’s bowlers started the final overs well, but a recurring theme of conceding late boundaries kept Ireland in the hunt. Shadab Khan’s missed chance to dismiss Balbirnie proved costly, as the Irish captain went on to score a match-winning knock.

Naseem Shah’s yorkers brought Pakistan back into the game, but Delany’s crunching drive off a full toss kept Ireland’s hopes alive. Shaheen Afridi’s penultimate over was impressive, but Campher’s audacious reverse ramp over the keeper left Abbas Afridi with a daunting task in the final over.

Campher’s composure under pressure was evident as he guided the first ball off the under-edge for four. He capitalized on a missed yorker to level the scores before sneaking a leg bye to seal a memorable victory for Ireland.

This historic win marks a significant milestone for Irish cricket and will undoubtedly boost their confidence ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Sciver-Brunt Out of England's T20I Opener Against Pakistan

Sciver-Brunt Out of England’s T20I Opener Against Pakistan

By May 10, 2024 0

England’s T20I opener against Pakistan on Saturday will be without all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, who has undergone a minor medical procedure. Captain Heather Knight confirmed the news on the eve of the match, revealing that left-hander Freya Kemp will take Sciver-Brunt’s place at No. 5 in the batting order.

Sciver-Brunt’s absence provides an opportunity for Kemp, who is in the squad solely as a batter while recovering from a back injury. Knight praised Kemp’s clean ball-striking and left-handedness, which is a rarity in the England team.

Knight also highlighted the emergence of young all-rounders like Dani Gibson and Maia Bouchier, who impressed during England’s recent tour of New Zealand. She emphasized the importance of guiding these players and helping them fulfill their potential.

The New Zealand tour was a crucial step in England’s preparation for the T20 Women’s World Cup in Bangladesh in October. Knight believes the team has evolved its T20 game, adapting to different pitch conditions and becoming more strategic in their approach.

Meanwhile, Pakistan arrives in England after a disappointing tour by West Indies. However, Knight warned against complacency, citing Pakistan’s recent series win in New Zealand and the energy that often comes with a new captain and retirements.

The match in Birmingham is the first of three T20Is between the sides, followed by games in Northampton and Leeds. A three-match ODI series will conclude the tour.

Zimbabwe Opt to Bowl First in Fourth T20I Against Bangladesh

By May 10, 2024 0

Zimbabwe’s captain, Sikandar Raza, opted to field first in the fourth T20I against Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The visitors made two changes to their lineup, bringing in left-arm quick Richard Ngarava and batter Ryan Burl in place of wicketkeeper Joylord Gumbie and middle-order batter Craig Ervine.

Bangladesh’s captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, also expressed his preference for bowling first. The hosts welcomed back Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, and Mustafizur Rahman to their squad, replacing Mahmudullah, Litton Das, and Mohammad Saifuddin.

Shakib’s return marked his first T20I appearance since July 2023, having been sidelined by an eye condition and a finger injury. Mustafizur, on the other hand, rejoined the team after a brief rest following his stint with Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.

This match marked the first T20I to be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium since March 2023. Bangladesh had played their previous 11 T20Is in Sylhet or Chattogram.

Bangladesh currently holds a commanding 3-0 lead in the five-match series, having won the first three matches by eight wickets, six wickets, and nine runs, respectively.

India Women Complete 5-0 Sweep of Bangladesh in T20I Series

India Women Complete 5-0 Sweep of Bangladesh in T20I Series

By May 9, 2024 0

India’s women’s cricket team completed a comprehensive 5-0 series sweep against Bangladesh with a 21-run victory in the fifth and final T20I in Sylhet on Thursday.

After posting a competitive 156 for five, India’s bowlers, led by Radha Yadav’s three-wicket haul, restricted Bangladesh to 136 for six.

Richa Ghosh’s quickfire unbeaten 28 off 17 balls provided the impetus for India’s total. The wicketkeeper-batter struck three fours and a six to help India recover from a mid-innings wobble.

Smriti Mandhana (33) and Dayalan Hemalatha (37) had earlier laid the foundation with a 60-run partnership for the third wicket.

Bangladesh’s chase began promisingly, with Sobhana Mostary hitting three fours in the first over. However, Yadav’s athletic catch to dismiss Mostary set the tone for India’s bowling performance.

Yadav then removed Dilara Akter, Nigar Sultana, and Rubya Haider in quick succession to leave Bangladesh reeling at 52 for five.

Ritu Moni (37) and Shorifa Khatun (28 not out) staged a brief fightback with a 57-run stand for the sixth wicket. However, Asha Sobhana broke the partnership by dismissing Moni in the 17th over.

Despite the rearguard action, Bangladesh fell short of the target, handing India a comfortable victory.

Yadav finished as the series’ leading wicket-taker with 10 dismissals, while Mandhana was the leading run-scorer with 116 runs.

Mongolia's Cricket Nightmare: Bowled Out for 12, Second-Lowest T20I Score

Mongolia’s Cricket Nightmare: Bowled Out for 12, Second-Lowest T20I Score

By May 8, 2024 0

Mongolia’s cricket team has endured a humiliating milestone, being bowled out for a mere 12 runs in a T20 International match against Japan. This ignominious score marks the second-lowest total in T20I history, surpassed only by Isle of Man’s 10 all out against Spain in 2023.

The match, held at the Sano International Cricket Ground in Japan, saw Japan post an imposing 217 for 7 after electing to bat. In response, Mongolia’s batting lineup collapsed spectacularly, with 17-year-old left-arm seamer Kazuma Kato-Stafford wreaking havoc. Kato-Stafford claimed an astonishing 5 for 7 from his 3.2 overs, while Abdul Samad (2/4) and Makoto Taniyama (2/0) also chipped in with wickets.

Tur Sumaya (4 off 11) was the only Mongolian batsman to reach double figures, while opener Namsrai Bat-yalalt faced the most deliveries (12). This was the second T20I of a seven-match series, with the third match later in the day being abandoned without a result.

In the first T20I, Mongolia had been bowled out for 33 in reply to Japan’s 199 for 5, suffering a 166-run defeat. This was Mongolia’s fifth T20I appearance, having made their international debut at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, where they lost both their group stage matches.

Despite these setbacks, Mongolia’s cricket development has made strides in recent years. Battulga Gombo, known as the “man behind cricket” in the country, has played a pivotal role in establishing the sport. With the support of the Mongolian Cricket Seed Appeal, the schools’ program has expanded, and indoor and outdoor tournaments are now held throughout the year.

Shakib Al Hasan Returns to Bangladesh T20I Squad for Zimbabwe Series

Shakib Al Hasan Returns to Bangladesh T20I Squad for Zimbabwe Series

By May 8, 2024 0

Shakib Al Hasan, the talismanic all-rounder, makes a much-anticipated return to Bangladesh’s T20I squad after an absence of nearly a year. The 36-year-old has been named in the team for the final two matches of the series against Zimbabwe in Dhaka, scheduled for May 11 and 12.

Shakib’s inclusion is a major boost for Bangladesh, who have taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. The veteran all-rounder, who last played a T20I in July 2023, will provide much-needed experience and leadership to the side.

Also returning to the squad are Soumya Sarkar and Mustafizur Rahman. Sarkar, a hard-hitting opener, has been out with a knee injury since March, while Rahman, a pace bowler, has been rested after a busy IPL campaign with Chennai Super Kings.

The trio of Shakib, Sarkar, and Rahman replace Parvez Hossain Emon, Afif Hossain, and Shoriful Islam. Emon and Afif missed all three games of the series, while Shoriful played the first two matches.

Shakib’s return is particularly significant as he was Bangladesh’s captain when he last played T20Is. He was instrumental in building the team towards this year’s T20 World Cup, but injuries hampered his progress. Najmul Hossain Shanto has since taken over the captaincy in all formats.

Mustafizur’s return will also bolster Bangladesh’s bowling attack. The left-arm pacer has been in impressive form in the IPL, taking 10 wickets in 11 matches.

Soumya’s inclusion adds depth to the batting lineup. The left-handed opener is known for his aggressive style of play and will be looking to make a strong impact on his return from injury.

The final two T20Is against Zimbabwe will provide Bangladesh with an opportunity to fine-tune their preparations for the T20 World Cup. The squad for the tournament is expected to be announced on May 13, the day after the last T20I in Dhaka.
