Jason Gillespie is the coach of Pakistan’s Test team. Jason Gillespie. (Source – Twitter/X) Pakistan Test team coach Jason Gillespie has talked about the biggest problem of the team ahead of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in August.

Pakistan has struggled to win in all formats since the ODI World Cup in India last year. Since then in white ball cricket, the Babar-led team has suffered defeats against the United States of America (USA), Ireland, England, New Zealand, India and other teams. In Test cricket, late last year, they played a three-match Test series against Australia under the captaincy of Shan Masood. In which they lost 0-3. Jason Gillespie told the biggest weakness of Pakistan team Despite Pakistan’s poor performance on the Australia tour, Gillespie has focused on the positive aspects of their performance. “During the last tour of Australia, Pakistan lost the series 0-3, but they played well. There were times in the series when they were dominating the opposition team,” Gillespie was quoted as saying by Geo News. He further said, “Pakistan cricket team is very talented, but lack of consistency in performance is the main problem. We will see how we can bring consistency and stability in performance.” Gillespie further said, “My opinion is that Pakistan’s fielding is their weakness, so this will be my priority. For me, the goal is to see how we play against quality teams.” Pakistan’s Test series against Bangladesh will begin on August 21 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The second Test will be played on August 30 at the National Stadium, Karachi. Pakistan will want to strengthen its position in the WTC points table by winning both these Test matches.

Both the teams have remained undefeated in the tournament so far. Today, for the first time in the 17-year history, the undefeated team is going to become the T20 World Cup champion. Let us tell you that the South African cricket team has reached the final of a World Cup for the first time, the team is just one step away from its first ICC title. Meanwhile, before the final match, South African player Morne Morkel has given a big statement while giving advice to the team. IND vs SA: South African team should not think too much – Morne Morkel In the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma and company have made their mark in all three departments – bowling, batting or fielding. Facing India in the final is going to be full of challenges for the South African team. Morne Morkel suggested to the team that the team should not think too much against India. And should stick to the plan to deal with players like Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav. Jasprit Bumrah has taken 13 wickets in 7 matches in the ongoing tournament, while Kuldeep Yadav has taken 10 wickets in just 4 matches. It will be a big challenge for South Africa to deal with these two bowlers. Morne Morkel, while speaking on ESPNcricinfo, said, I think you need to play in the moment. Yes, they know that Jasprit can take wickets later on. When he bowls two overs, he will prove to be important in the death overs. So will they start building pressure a little earlier in that batting innings to get to a respectable score? Honestly, I think we can’t think too much about it. Kuldeep is obviously incredible in the middle overs for India, he is a wicket-taker. He can stop the game, create a lot of pressure. South Africa need to get out of those panics and those moments and take it ball by ball.

Due to these 3 reasons, KKR registered the biggest win in IPL history
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won their third Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy after defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by eight wickets in the final at Chepauk on Sunday, May 26. ipl 2024 award winners list Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won their third Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by eight wickets in the final at Chepauk on Sunday, May 26. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have five trophies each. In such a situation, Kolkata holds the record for winning the second most trophies. Kolkata Knight Riders came into this edition of the tournament as the underdogs, as none of the experts had picked them in the list of favourites to win the tournament. However, the Purple Brigade proved everyone wrong by winning the title. After playing the league matches, KKR topped the group stage leaderboard. After that, they defeated SRH in their qualifier match at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Then Shreyas’ team faced SRH in the final who had reached the final after defeating Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier match. Kolkata defeated them again and won the trophy. In such a situation, let us talk about those 3 reasons due to which KKR’s 2024 victory is the biggest victory in IPL history- 1. KKR dominated the entire tournament Kolkata played like true champions from the start and won three matches in a row at the start of the tournament. However, they lost one match but there was no looking back after that. They finished the league with 20 points and topped the playoff race. Out of the 14 matches they played, they won nine and lost three, while two matches were abandoned due to rain. During their title-winning campaigns in 2012 and 2014, Kolkata did not look as dominant as they did this year. Moreover, they finished in the top 2 of the points table in those two years more than this year. Shreyas Iyer’s side was equally dominant in the playoffs this year, winning both matches by a margin of eight wickets. 2. Contribution of all players Cricket is not a one-man game but a team game. It often happens that 2-3 players carry the burden of their team throughout the tournament. But this year it was different for KKR. Every cricketer, who may have played just one match, left their mark on the team’s performance, making this win all the more special. Four batsmen have scored more than 350+ runs this season, while five bowlers have taken 15+ wickets, which is a testament to the collective performance of Kolkata players this season. The support staff also played a vital role in keeping the players mentally and physically fit throughout the campaign. 3. Attacked the opposition team with both bat and ball KKR’s run rate with the bat and economy rate with the ball ratio of 1.17 is the best ever in the history of the league. They surpassed Mumbai Indians, who had a ratio of 1.14 in 2020. Not only this, Kolkata has finished its matches with the best net run rate…
