Although there have been many controversial matches in the history of cricket till date, but the final match of the ODI World Cup 2023 was the only match that forced the ICC to change its rules. The final of the 2023 World Cup was played between England and New Zealand, where hosts England defeated the Kiwis by 0 runs. Now the first question that must have come to your mind is how can a team win or lose by 0 runs? So for your information, all this happened because of the controversial rule of ICC. After this tournament, ICC had to change this rule. Let us tell you what happened in that match. This was the situation of 2019 ODI World Cup In fact, in that match, New Zealand batted first and scored 241 runs in the stipulated 50 overs. Henry Nicholls was the only Kiwi batsman who managed to cross the 50-run mark, he scored 55 runs in 77 balls. England, who came out to chase this score, at one point lost 4 wickets for 86 runs in the form of Jason Roy, Joe Root, Johnny Bairstow and Eoin Morgan. After this, Ben Stokes and Jos Butler made a 110-run partnership for the 5th wicket and brought England back into the match. In the 45th over, Lockie Ferguson brought New Zealand back into the match by dismissing Butler on a personal score of 59. In the last over, England needed 15 runs to win and had two wickets in hand. Trent Bolt did not give any runs on the first two balls of the last over, so the pressure was increasing on England. Stokes kept his team alive in the match by hitting a six towards mid-wicket on the third ball. On the fourth ball, something happened which no one could believe. Stokes tried to take two runs by playing a shot towards deep mid-wicket, Martin Guptill who was present there tried to make a direct throw which hit Stokes’ bat and went straight across the boundary. The umpire gave a total of 6 runs on this ball (2 runs by running and 4 boundaries). There again the match seemed to be going in England’s favour. However, New Zealand still did not give up. Bolt bowled a wide yorker on the fifth ball on which Stokes wanted to take two runs, but Adil Rashid standing at the non-striker’s end got out. The situation on the last ball was such that England needed 2 runs to win and New Zealand was one wicket away from victory. A similar scene was seen on the last ball as well. Stokes wanted to take two runs by playing lightly, but Mark Wood, who came at the non-striker’s end, could not reach the crease in time and the match was tied and went into the over. England became champion…

From Kane Williamson to Shaheen Afridi, see the flop playing XI of T20 World Cup
T20 World Cup 2024 has been won by the Indian team. Kane Williamson and Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, co-hosted by West Indies and USA, ended with the final match on 29 June. The Indian team won the title for the second time overall by winning against South Africa by 7 runs in the final. Every player of the team contributed in helping Team India win this title. So during this time, not only Team India but also some players from the remaining 20 teams were such from whom the team had high expectations of performance, but they could not perform. So today in this article we are going to give you information about the flop playing eleven of T20 World Cup 2024. So let’s start: top order Mitchell Marsh: The name of Australian captain Mitchell Marsh comes as an opening batsman in our flop eleven. He could not do anything special in the recently concluded T20 World Cup. Marsh was able to score only 125 runs at an average of 20.83 in the 7 matches he played in the tournament. Reeza Hendricks: To support Mitchell Marsh, Reeza Hendricks is included in our flop XI as an opening batsman. Let us tell you that Hendricks scored only 113 runs in 9 matches played for South Africa at a meager average of 14.12. Also, in the final match against India, he was out after scoring just 4 runs. Kusal Mendis (WK): When Kusal Mendis was selected in the Sri Lankan team for the T20 World Cup, there were a lot of expectations from him. But Mendis proved to be a big flop in the T20 World Cup and his team could not progress beyond the Super 8 stage. Mendis scored only 75 runs in 3 innings. Middle Order Kane WilliamsonBefore the start of the tournament, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was expected to lead his team to the title, but not only the team but his performance was also disappointing. The team was eliminated in the league stage after losing the match against Afghanistan, and Williamson scored only 28 runs in the 3 matches played. Jonny Bairstow: England’s aggressive wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow also could not do anything special in the T20 World Cup. Bairstow scored only 110 runs in the 6 matches he played. Shadab Khan: Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan also could not do anything special in the T20 World Cup. He took 3 wickets in the 3 matches he played and scored only 44 runs with the bat. Sam Curran: T20 World Cup 2022 Player of the Series Sam Curran has not been able to perform like that season in this season. In the five matches played for England in the T20 World Cup, Sam took only 3 wickets, while his performance with the bat was forgettable. Bowler Shaheen Afridi: Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi, known for his lethal bowling, did not show his swing magic in the T20 World Cup 2024. Shaheen took a total of 5 wickets in 4…
NZ Central Contract: Why are Kane Williamson, Trent Boult and other great players leaving playing for the country?
NZ Central Contract: New Zealand team could not qualify for Super-8 in T20 World Cup 2024. After this New Zealand captain Kane Williamson rejected the annual contract (Central Contract) proposed by the New Zealand Cricket Board. Kane has also given up the captaincy of New Zealand’s ODI and T20 team. Both decisions will have a huge impact on the New Zealand team in the future. It was under Kane’s leadership that New Zealand won the World Test Championship title. It was under Kane’s leadership that the New Zealand team reached the final of the 2019 ODI World Cup. Along with Kane, fast bowler Lockie Ferguson has also turned down the national contract. A year ago, New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult, all-rounder Jamie Neesham and Colin de Grandhomme also decided to opt out of the annual contract. But why is this happening, players are hesitant to play for the country, let’s find out? What is in the Central Contract of New Zealand Cricket Board? New Zealand male cricketers get Rs 5 lakh per Test, Rs 2 lakh for ODIs and Rs 1.20 lakh for playing T20s. The salary of New Zealand players is less than that of Indian players. A big player like Kane Williamson gets a salary of Rs 2.5 crore every year after being signed. This does not include the fees received from T20 leagues. NZ Central Contract Rules & Conditions: If a contract is entered into, what are the terms and conditions? The New Zealand Cricket Board signs annual contracts with some players every year. Contracted players get a payment. Only contracted players are given priority for national team selection. Contracted players must be ready to play Tests, ODIs and T20s for New Zealand. Barring injury or personal difficulty, it is the contracted player’s responsibility to drop everything and be available to play whenever called upon by the New Zealand team. However, once signed, they do not have the option of not playing. Why are the players rejecting the New Zealand Board’s Central Contract? It is mandatory to play for New Zealand for one year after signing the contract. T20 leagues have started all over the world on the lines of IPL. Playing in this league brings good earnings. But playing in this league takes time. However, due to the national team’s tours and matches, players cannot voluntarily participate in the league. New Zealand players are turning down national contracts because they feel it is better to play in a T20 league for a month than commit for a year. After giving a certain month of availability to the league, they can devote the rest of the time to their family. Due to the money required to run the household, facilities and limited playing time, the number of players not accepting annual contracts is increasing. Is it because of family time? If you accept the national contract given by the New Zealand Cricket Board, you have to continue playing for New Zealand for one year. Therefore, players are not able to give enough time to family…

Kane Williamson gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the match between New Zealand and Afghanistan ended, Kane Williamson said during the post-match – First of all congratulations to Afghanistan, they left us behind in every department in the match.

Williamson further said- The matches in the tournament are very short and end quickly. It was difficult to chase a score of 160 runs, but after that the skill shown by their spin bowlers made this target very difficult.

We did not take advantage of the opportunity and this changed the result of the match to a great extent. We will talk about this and then try to make a good comeback in the next match.
