India scored a record-high total in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa with Virat Kohli playing the lead role. Talismanic batterKohli stepped up to the plate, ending his lean patch with a 59-ball 76 to help India post a competitive 176/7 against South Africa in the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval here on Saturday. On a dry and slow pitch, South Africa made early inroads by picking three quick wickets. But Kohli stood up to be at the centre of India's innings, despite a middle-overs slowdown, with his crucial knock laced with six fours and two sixes, as they posted the highest total in a Men's T20 World Cup final. It was a knock in which Kohli scored more than what his first seven innings in the tournament yielded (75 runs). His 72-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Axar Patel , who made 47 off 31 balls, and a 57-run partnership with Shivam Dube , who hit a 16-ball 27, helped India go past the 175-run mark, as they hammer...

Rahul Dravid said India have been remarkably consistent to play three ICC finals in the last 12 months and the outgoing head coach hoped the combination of smart cricket and luck will land his side an elusive ICC title. India have been the vastly superior team in the ongoing T20 World Cup, just like they were in the ODI World Cup at home last year where they faltered at the final hurdle against Australia. Now, Rohit and Co will face South Africa in the summit match at the Kensington Oval, hoping to win a global title after their triumph in the 2013 Champions Trophy. “It is a good thing we have been consistently playing good cricket. We have been in finals in all three formats and credit goes to the players. If we play well and rub of the green goes (our way) we will surely win,” said Dravid, who will be looking to end his tenure on a high. When the trophy is on the line, players tend to feel more pressure than usual. But in terms of mental preparation, there is not much India can do...

Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly has said that former India batter Gautam Gambhir is likely to be the Team India's head coach after the T20 World Cup. "I think he will be the next coach (for Team India)," Ganguly told media persons. With Rahul Dravid's tenure as head coach ending after the T20 World Cup, the BCCI is in the process of taking a decision. Rahul Dravid has expressed his intention to not renew the contract. "Every game I have coached for India is important. This is the last tournament in job. I have enjoyed coaching India, it is great to work with these boys. It is a special job. But there are schedules where I find myself that at this stage of my life, I won't be able to apply," Dravid had said earlier. Gambhir is seen as a front-runner for the role of head coach. He was a left-handed opener for India team and served as Kolkata Knight Riders' team mentor in the Indian Premier League 2024. KKR lifted their third IPL trophy this season...

South Africa vs Afghanistan Live Streaming T20 World Cup 2024 Live Telecast : Afghanistan take on South Africa on Thursday at Port of Spain, Trinidad with a place in the T20 World Cup 2024 up for grabs. While Afghanistan will make their first appearance at the semi-final of a major ICC event, South Africa have played semi-finals of the T20 World Cup in 2009 and 2014, respectively. It will be a chance for both teams to create history as a first-ever final in any Cricket World Cup across both white-ball formats is within touching distance. While South Africa have been unbeaten so far, Afghanistan's only blip came against the West Indies in the group stage. Their dream run has been buoyed by wins over New Zealand and Australia, and Afghanistan side will fancy themselves for causing another upset, this time against perfect Proteas. Notably, Afghanistan and South Africa have only played against each other twice at T20 World Cups. The Proteas recorded comfortable wins on both occasions...

Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh in a thrilling match to qualify in the historic first-ever T20 World Cup semi-finals. Afghanistan defeated Najmul Shanto's Bangladesh by 8 runs using the DLS system, eliminating one of the favourites, Australia, from the race for the semi-final. After impressive triumphs over T20I cricket giants such as New Zealand and Australia during the same T20 World Cup run, Rashid's Afghanistan made it to the last four. The Afghan spin maestro Rashid played a significant role in this victory by not only confusing the Australian hitters with his deliveries but also engaging in some fun banter with Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Afghanistan captain took to social media on Tuesday to share a photo with his Indian opponent Rohit after both teams advanced to the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 semifinals. Following the match, Rashid posted a message on Instagram that read: "Bambai se aaya mera dost [My friend from Mumbai has arrived]," a clever ...

The Indian cricket team 'settled score' of some sort as they defeated Australia in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 clash. The victory for Rohit Sharma 's men was deemed by many a revenge for the defeat they faced in the ODI World Cup final against the Aussies, especially as the Super 8 result left Australia on the brink of exit. As Indian cricket fans cherished the much-needed win against Australia, that propelled Rohit's men to the semi-finals, Ravindr Jadeja's wife Rivaba shared a brilliant post in which she also paid tribute to the India captain. Australia lost their second consecutive match of the campaign, having previously lost to Afghanistan in the Super 8s, as India rode on Rohit's 92 to secure a 24-run victory. Rivaba, taking to X (formerly Twitter), reflected what the win meant for her and all Indian fans. "Scores Settled. In the ongoing T20 Cricket World Cup, India has recorded a stunning victory against Australia. Congratulations to the team fo...

For India, the revenge is complete. After a heart-breaking loss to Australia in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, the Rohit Sharma -led side dealt a major blow to the Mitchell Marsh -led side by defeating them in a Super 8 match in St Lucia. That loss ultimately became crucial in Australia's exit from the T20 World Cup as Afghanistan knocked them out on points with a victory over Bangladesh.  India's win over Australia was almost flawless. It saw Rohit Sharma score 92 off just 41 balls as India gave them a 206-run target. Though Travis head and others gave Australia a fast start, they could not maintain the momentum and could only reach 181/7 in 20 overs. However, there was a time in the match when Hardik Pandya survived an injury scare, that happenned as a Pant throw hit him. Pandya had bowled a slower one to Mitchell Starc , who failed to connect. Pant collected the ball and aimed at the stumps. The ball missed the stumps and went on to hit the Pandya's hand. The st...

The Afghanistan vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup game saw a controversial moment, when Afghanistan' Gulbadin Naib fell on the ground], apparently due to injury. Naib, who was fielding in the slip cordon, complained of cramps during the 12th over bowled by spinner Noor Ahmad , after Trott was seen on camera asking his players to slow down as Bangladesh had fallen behind on the Duckworth-Lewis par score in the rain-hit Super 8 clash. The match saw frequent rain interruptions and Bangladesh, at that stage, were 81 for 7, two runs behind on the DLS par score in a revised chase of 114 in 19 overs. Afghans eventually prevailed by eight runs to enter their maiden World Cup semifinal. "The coach sends a message out to say slow it down, slow it down and the first slip just dives on the ground needlessly. That is unacceptable. Gone off anyway. I get that might have gone off anyway for the rain," said Simon Doull while commentating. Zimbabwean commentator Pommie Mbangwa quipped: ...

Afghanistan (AFG) will be taking on Bangladesh (BAN) in the 52nd game of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2024. The match will be played at the Arnos Vale Ground, Arnos Vale, St Vincent on 25th June 2024 at 06:00 AM IST.  Afghanistan have played 6 matches in the tournament and they are currently ranked third on the points table, while Bangladesh have also played 6 matches in the ongoing T20 World Cup and are currently ranked fourth on the points table. Both teams last played against each other in the 2nd T20I of Afghanistan's tour of Bangladesh in 2023 where Azmatullah Omarzai scored the highest fantasy points for Afghanistan with 95 match fantasy points while Taskin Ahmed topped the fantasy points leaderboard for Bangladesh with 91 match fantasy points.

The T20 World Cup semi-final race in Group 1 has become really interesting. India became the first team from the group to enter the semi-finals as they beat the Mitchell March-led  Australia by 24 runs on Monday. However, the other three teams in the group are not out. The points table is as follows - India (6 points, 3 games, NRR +2.017), Australia (2 points, 3 games, NRR -0.331), Afghanistan (2 points, 2 matches, NRR -0.650), Bangladesh (0 points, 2 matches, NRR -2.489).  Now, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Australia can qualify for semi-finals. Following are the scenarios:  1. Afghanistan can enter the semi-finals with a win over Bangladesh. That way they will reach 4 points and be the second team from Group 1 of Super 8 to enter last four stage.  2. Australia can enter semi-finals only if Afghanistan lose to Bangladesh with a margin of less than 61 runs (considering the first innings total is 160) or outside 13 overs. 3. Bangladesh can enter semi-finals only if ...

Gautam Gambhir has been heavily linked with the job to become the next head coach of the Indian men's cricket team. With current boss Rahul Dravid 's contract set to expire after the ongoing T20 World Cup, Gambhir was the only candidate to apply for the job, as per multiple reports. The former India opener was interviewed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) last week, where Gambhir presented some of his demands to the board. However, Navbharat Times has now reported that during his interview with the CAC, Gambhir laid down not one but five conditions to accept BCCI's proposal. Gambhir demanded that he will have full control of the cricketing operations of the team, without any interference from the board. Secondly, the two-time World Cup winner will pick his own support staff, including batting, fielding and bowling coaches. Thirdly, and most importantly, the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan could be the last opp...

West Indies vs South Africa, T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Live Streaming: West Indies could see curtains drawn to their 2024 T20 World Cup on home soil, if they lose to South Africa in the final Super 8 game. West Indies currently lie on the same number of points as England, but with a better net run rate, and a loss for the English to the USA would see West Indies and South Africa qualify no matter what. While South Africa come into the game with a 100% win record in the T20 World Cup so far, a big defeat for them, along with a big win for England, could dramatically swing the scales.

Star India all-rounder Hardik Pandya became the first Indian player to achieve a unique double in ICC T20 World Cup history during his side's match in the Super 8s against Bangladesh on Saturday. During the game, Hardik became the first-ever Indian to have 300-plus runs and 20-plus wickets in the tournament history. While batting, Pandya made a full-fledged return to batting form on a batting-friendly surface, making 50 in 27 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 185.19. While bowling, he got a crucial wicket from wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das.

Gautam Gambhir may soon become the head coach of Team India, and he had some firm words of advice for Hardik Pandya . Ahead of IPL 2024, Pandya had been made Mumbai Indians captain, replacing long-time skipper Rohit Sharma . However, Mumbai Indians incurred a troublesome season, finishing bottom of the table for the second time in three seasons. Pandya was an unpopular captain, being booed by his own fans. Gambhir, who won IPL 2024 as mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders, offered some words of wisdom to Pandya for future IPL seasons. Speaking on Forbes' India's 'Top 30 Talent Leaders of 2024', Gambhir was asked what he would suggest Pandya to succeed as MI captain. "First and foremost, treat Rohit Sharma and the youngest member of the team in exactly the same way. It is a tough job, but leaders are bound to take tough decisions. Otherwise, you will become a follower," said Gambhir. "If you're a leader, you're a leader for everyone in that dress...

Afghanistan vs Australia, T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Live Streaming: Australia take on Afghanistan in the Super 8, hoping to all but seal their place in the semi-finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup. On the other hand, after a crushing 47-run loss to India, Afghanistan cannot avoid another loss to keep their semi-final hopes intact. The Asian nation will need to provide Rahmanullah Gurbaz with more support in batting, which has been their big weakness. Australia are firing on all cylinders and will look to remain unbeaten in the 2024 T20 World Cup. When will the Afghanistan vs Australia, T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 match be played?

Afghanistan vs Australia LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Australia take on Afghanistan in their second Super 8 clash, knowing that a win will almost certainly be enough to seal qualification to the semi-finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The 2023 ODI World Cup champions are checking all the right boxes heading into the business end of the tournament. Afghanistan, on the other hand, need to recreate some of the magic they produced during the group stage, as a loss will send them crashing out of the 2024 T20 World Cup.

The Indian cricket team's march in the T20 World Cup 2024 continued with a big 50-run win over Bangladesh in Antigua on Saturday. The likes of Hardik Pandya , Virat Kohli , Jasprit Bumrah , Arshdeep Singh performed really well as India stayed unbeaten in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, despite the second successive win in the Super 8 stage of T20 World Cup, India are not yet in the semi-final. Here's how: India have four points in two matches (NRR +2.425). The other teams are: Australia (two points in one game, NRR + 2.471), Afghanistan (0 points from 1 match, NRR -2.350) and Bangladesh (0 points from 2 games, -2.489).  Now, if Afghanistan beat Australia in their next match, then Australia beat India and then Afghanistan win vs Bangladesh, three teams will be on four points. The NRR will then decide the top two teams in the group. Hence, India are not yet in the semi-finals. However, if Australia defeat Afghanistan, both the Aussies and India will be through to the semi-fnals...

The International Cricket Council (ICC) approved Kyle Mayers as the replacement for West Indies opener Brandon King in the ongoing T20 World Cup. King was ruled out of the remainder of the competition after he sustained a side strain during their clash against England in the Super 8. "The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 has approved left-handed batter Kyle Mayers as a replacement for Brandon King in the West Indies squad. The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the player can be officially added to the squad," ICC said in a statement. For the rest of the tournament, the left-handed opener will feature for the co-hosts. He is expected to join the squad on Saturday. During the game against England on Wednesday, King was flying high in the powerplay. He raced 23 in just 12 deliveries and started to lay the foundation for a 200-plus total for the West Indies. He smoked the ball out of the stadi...

USA vs West Indies, T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Live Streaming: England face South Africa in a virtual quarter-final in the Super 8 stage of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Both sides won their opening games; South Africa outclassed USA, while England chased down 181 in just 17.3 overs against West Indies. Both sides will breathe a sigh of relief, as their openers returned to form. Phil Salt finally scored big, devastating the Windies bowling with a 47-ball 87, while Quinton de Kock scored 74 off 40 balls. However, England might head into the game in St. Lucia with a slight edge, having played their opening group game in the same venue.

Quinton de Kock made a coruscating fifty and bowlers responded bravely to the challenge of defending a sub-par total as South Africa thwarted a late England surge to eke out a tight seven-run win in their Group 2 Super Eight match in the T20 World Cup at Gros Islet, St Lucia on Friday. England had done well to keep South Africa to 163/6 in spite of De Kock's 38-ball 65, but lost their way despite a spirited fightback from Harry Brook (53) and Liam Livingstone (33). They eventually finished at 156 for six. South Africa's perfection in executing their plans of taking the pace off the ball corresponded with England's refusal to show intent as the defending champions did not find a single boundary between the fifth and the 12th over. Brook and Livingstone did extremely well to stage a fightback to bring England back into the game but South Africa held their nerves, despite making plenty of errors, to keep their winning run in this World Cup intact. England were still signifi...
