Women Asia Cup 2024: Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh played stormy half-centuries, India in a strong position after the end of the first innings against UAE

Batting first, the Indian women’s team scored 201 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs. India Women Team (Pic Source-X) Currently, the fifth match of Women’s Asia Cup 2024 is being played between India and UAE in Dambulla. In this match, the UAE women’s team won the toss and decided to bowl first. However, their decision has proved to be very wrong so far and the Indian women’s team, batting first, scored 201 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs. India had a very bad start against UAE and Smriti Mandhana returned to the pavilion after scoring 13 runs. Shefali Verma played a valuable innings of 37 runs with the help of five fours and a six in 18 balls. Dayalan Hemalatha failed to play a big innings and was out after scoring two runs. However, on behalf of the Indian women’s team, captain Harmanpreet Kaur batted tremendously and played a stormy innings of 66 runs with the help of seven fours and a six in 47 balls. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur did not spare any bowler of UAE and hit hard against everyone. Apart from Harmanpreet Kaur, wicketkeeper-batsman Richa Ghosh also played an aggressive innings of 64 runs. She hit 12 fours and a six during her innings. The batsmen of the Indian women’s team played their role quite well. For UAE, Kavisha Egodage took 2 wickets for 36 runs in 4 overs while Sameer Dharnidharka and Heena Hotchandani took 1 wicket each. UAE needs to score 202 runs in 20 overs to win the match Talking about the Indian women’s team, their performance has been very good in international cricket for some time now and the team would like to win this match as well. UAE cannot be taken lightly but the team is in a very difficult situation at the moment as they have to score more than 200 runs in 20 overs. Let us tell you, for the first time in India, the score of 200 runs has been crossed in international T20 cricket. Earlier, the Indian women’s team had scored 198 runs in 20 overs against England in 2018, losing four wickets. Not only this, in the T20 World Cup 2018, the team had scored 194 runs for 5 wickets against New Zealand. Earlier in this tournament, the Indian women’s team defeated the Pakistan team by 7 wickets in their first match. Now the Indian team would definitely want to win the match being played against UAE. The good thing for the Indian women’s team is that their bowlers are also in great form and they have the ability to win this match by getting UAE out as soon as possible. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?…

After a poor performance, Shadab Khan made a strong comeback in LPL

Lanka Premier League player and Pakistan leg-spin allrounder Shadab Khan has had a memorable start to LPL Season 5 with Colombo Strikers. Shadab Khan (Photo Source: X) Lanka Premier League (LPL) player and Pakistan leg-spin allrounder Shadab Khan has had a memorable start to LPL Season 5 with Colombo Strikers. In his very first match, he took a hattrick against Kandy Falcons and since then has taken 16 wickets, the most by any bowler in this LPL season. Shadab himself admitted that it has been a remarkable turnaround for him; after not taking a single wicket for Pakistan for quite some time, he is enjoying his return to form in Sri Lankan conditions, especially at his team’s home ground Colombo. Shadab Khan gave this statement on his comeback “I was struggling for three months. I hadn’t taken a single wicket in the last seven international matches. Coming here, starting bowling and now always taking wickets – that’s the beauty of cricket. You should enjoy these situations; sometimes you do well, sometimes you don’t. But there should be consistency in the process.” “The pitch was slow and a bit grippy, which helped us. But T20 cricket is very challenging now, with 200 runs being easily achievable. As a spinner, you need variations to succeed on different tracks. Without variations, you can score runs, but with them, you can also take wickets and stop runs. It is important to land the ball in good areas.” “I am performing well for my team and that is a good sign. Taking wickets as the main bowler is positive for me and my team. I want to contribute in all three phases – bowling, fielding and hopefully with the bat as well.”

‘The pitch on which he scored runs was not easy’ Aakash Chopra on Surya Bhau’s strong innings in IND vs ENG semi-final

Suryakumar Yadav played an innings of 47 runs in 36 balls on the slow pitch. Surya Kumar Yadav (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has been seen praising Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant innings played against England in the T20 World Cup semi-final.

Aakash further said- Rohit Sharma of India and Mumbai Indians was at one end, and Suryakumar Yadav is Rohit’s partner in franchise cricket. Here both of them batted brilliantly together and took the team to a safe position. Suryakumar Yadav did not have a good start to the tournament. He was struggling to score runs. He got out against Pakistan and was trolled. However, after that he scored half-centuries in two matches, in this match too he scored important runs and the pitches on which he scored runs are not so easy.

USA’s Aaron Jones gave a strong warning to the English team, said- this match…..

Talking about England, if they have to secure their place in the semi-finals of this important tournament, then it is very important for the team to win this match. Aaron Jones (Pic Source-X) USA performed very well in the group stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 and secured its place in the Super 8. USA’s performance was highly praised by many people. Let us tell you, USA defeated Pakistan in the group stage and surprised all the cricket fans. USA’s performance in the Super 8 has not been so good so far and the team has lost both its matches. Now USA has to play its last Super 8 match against England today i.e. on 23 June. Talking about England, if they have to secure their place in the semi-finals of this important tournament, then it is very important for the team to win this match. Before the upcoming match, America’s stand-in captain Aaron Jones has made a big statement. According to him, the match against England is very important for him and the team would definitely want to win it. According to ICC, Aaron Jones said, ‘I think the match against England is very important. If I talk about myself, then whenever I play with the USA jersey, I have to win the match. I do not care who we are playing against.’ I don’t think there’s any pressure on anybody at all: Aaron Jones Aaron Jones further said, ‘The last few weeks have been very good for us. After winning the series against Bangladesh, many people around the world came to know about our game. This was important not only for US cricket but also for associate cricket. We won against Pakistan in the World Cup and we played very good cricket against India and then against South Africa. People know that associate cricket is now at a very high level. There is absolutely no pressure on us now. I think when we started the first World Cup, many people would not have expected that we would secure our place in the Super 8. No one believed that we would be able to beat any team in the World Cup. We would like to perform well against England and win the match. Even if we are not able to secure our place in the next round, all the players will look to give their best performance. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
