Linsey Smith Leads England to Victory Over Bangladesh at Women’s T20 World Cup

By Score More Sports Sfaff England 118-7, beat Bangladesh 97-7 by 21 runs England kicked off their Women’s T20 World Cup campaign with a solid 21-run win over Bangladesh, largely thanks to a standout performance from left-arm spinner Linsey Smith. Playing her first World Cup game since 2018, Smith’s remarkable bowling and sharp fielding played a crucial role in England’s defense of a modest total. Smith’s return to the international stage was well worth the wait. Finishing with figures of 2 for 11 from her four overs, she restricted Bangladesh’s powerplay to just 20 runs, effectively stifling their momentum from the start. Jon Lewis’s decision to bring Smith back into the side earlier this year was validated, as her performance proved pivotal in limiting Bangladesh’s chances. Ban...

Cricket: India Secures Second T20 World Cup Title in Thrilling Victory Over South Africa

India celebrates winning the Twenty20 World Cup final against South Africa. Photo: AFP By Score More with Agencies India secured their second Twenty20 World Cup title with a dramatic seven-run win over South Africa on Saturday, the result still in doubt at the start of the final over of an electrifying match. South Africa required 16 runs to win after Heinrich Klaasen had put them firmly on course in reply to India's 176 for seven by smashing 52 from 27 balls including five sixes. David Miller hit the first ball, a full toss from Hardik Pandya, high down the ground but Suryakumar Yadav raced around the long-off boundary, knocked the ball into the air, toppled over the ropes, and stepped back to complete a stunning catch. Two boundaries from the final two balls would still have led to ...

This move was prompted by the provisional suspension of the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) due to extensive government interference in the board's administration. Despite the venue change,...

South Africa seal ODI series win against England after Bavuma’s stylish century

South Africa, 347-5, beat England, 342-7, by five wickets A swashbuckling century from South Africa’s beleaguered captain, Temba Bavuma, laid the platform for a stunning victory as the home side chased down England’s daunting total of 342 for seven to win by five wickets with five balls to spare in the second one-day international at the Mangaung Oval. It was a defining moment in the embattled Bavuma’s career after a torrid six months in which he missed the tour of England with injury, spluttered awkwardly at the top of the order before his team bowed out of the T20 World Cup with defeat by the Netherlands, and failed to attract a bid in the SA20. He is the only member of his 16-man squad not considered good enough to play in the country’s shiny new T20 league. Having redefined his role...

“Ek Toh Poori Kare Lein”: Pakistan Cricketer’s Brutal Response On Copying ‘India Model’

Veteran Pakistani cricketer Kamran Akmal issued a brutal response when asked whether Babar Azam & Co. should follow the Indian model and have two separate teams for different formats. Several top teams have adopted the policy of multiple teams, under different captains, across formats. While England and Australia were the first teams to adopt the policy, India, over the past year or so, have fielded a number of different combinations, with different captains across formats. While several current and former cricketers have lauded India for setting up a big pool of players, some have also criticised them for too much chopping and changing. On being asked if Pakistan can also field multiple teams like India, veteran wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal had a rather blunt remark on the same. "Pehle...

Warren Deutrom: New stadium just what Irish cricket needs

Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom has welcomed the news that the sport will soon have a permanent home in Dublin. On Friday, Minister for Sport Catherine Martin gave the go-ahead to the governing body to proceed with planning for the construction of a cricket oval with permanent seating at the Sport Ireland Campus in Dublin 15. Ireland became one of 12 Test nations in 2017 but have since played only three full-form matches, hosting one, against Pakistan in 2018. Cricket Ireland has been installing temporary facilities to host crowds of 11,500 at Malahide Cricket Club for international games, at significant expense. "What's different is that the facilities being envisioned by the government are permanent facilities," Deutrom told RTÉ Sport of the proposed new stadium. "It ...
