Suryakumar Yadav’s outstanding performance on Tuesday at the Wankhede Stadium enabled Mumbai Indians to thrash Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets. Mumbai finished the challenging 200-run chase in 16.3 overs thanks to the ‘360 degree’ player’s 83 off 35 balls.While Ishan Kishan contributed 42(31) at the top, Nehal Wadhera finished off his half-century as well. Earlier, the MI bowlers made a strong return, assisting the team in overcoming the assault from Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis and keeping RCB below 200 (199/6).

Maxwell scored 68 runs in 33 deliveries, while Du Plessis added 65 (41). After RCB was reduced to 16/2 in 2.2 overs, the duo scored 120 runs for the third wicket.Suryakumar Yadav hits Wanindu Hasaranga for a few of sixes as he reenters the fray. The over is subsequently completed by Wadhera with a boundary as 20 runs are scored.Faf du Plessis makes a last-ditch effort to reintroduce striking bowler Siraj to the assault. The hitters are unfazed by this, though, as SKY smacks the strike bowler for a boundary and a maximum. He takes 26 balls to get his half-century as well.

Ishan Kishan scores six points

Ishan Kishan welcomes Hazlewood, who is about to deliver his second over, with a six. After playing a dot, the wicketkeeper-batter rotates the strike in the third ball. Siraj resumes from his end and gets off to a good start against Ishan Kishan with three dots before the India teammate is dispatched by the wicketkeeper-batter with a 77-meter six that goes clean over the bowler’s head.He strikes the seamer once more for a maximum.

IPL season’s most successful 200+ chases

 By Faf du Plessis  They have a potent pursuing team and a big batting lineup. Due to the low number of runs in the final five overs, we were frustrated that we were unable to capitalise. To encourage the players, you must declare that a score of 200 is a good one. You must also ensure that the pace is slowed down. With the pace up, they profited in the opening six overs. When Sky (one of the finest) gets going, it’s difficult to stop him.

Throughout the first half of the IPL, Siraj has excelled. For a very long period, he got away with it, but now the boys are going to come out and play well.RCB was crushed by MI. There will be more adverbs used after the game’s post-mortem. Simply enough, RCB never showed up with the ball. They were deemed unworthy. Kishan set the tone and got MI off to a great start. Kishan and Rohit were both caught up in the same over after Hasaranga applied the brakes. Following that, Nehal and SKY shook hands. After that, clinical decimation occurred. Everybody visited the dry cleaners. Nobody was untouched. Nehal made a forceful entrance. However, once SKY began, everyone retreated and simply enjoyed some incredible displays of battingMI has moved up to position 3 on the rankings. RCB has fallen to 7. This game hasn’t helped their NRR either.

World cup

The cricket team from Pakistan arrived in India on Wednesday under heavy security as it gets ready to compete in the next, seven-week World Cup. Pakistan is travelling to India for the first time since 2016, and as the team’s captain Babar Azam and other players arrived at the airport in Hyderabad, large groups of enthusiastic fans shouted and chanted their names while being restrained by security agents. On October 5, the ODI competition is set to begin, and Pakistan will play their first match the following day.

Political difficulties between India and Pakistan have a long history, hence the two countries’ international matches are mainly limited to regional and global competitions. However, Pakistan was given a warm welcome in India on Wednesday, and the players posted about it on their official social media account. Babar Azam, the team’s captain, Shaheen Afridi, and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan were among the players to express gratitude to the Indian government and crowd on social media.

The World Cup will consist of 48 games played over 46 days at 10 different venues, with the championship game taking place on November 19. Pakistan will play two exhibition games, one on September 29 against New Zealand and the other on October 3 against Australia, both in Hyderabad. After evaluating the security measures for a significant festival that day, the game against New Zealand will be played behind closed doors.

Babar added that the sid is not under any pressure but will miss its fans when it plays the World Cup matches in India during his pre-departure press conference in Pakistan.

“We’re all happy of the World Cup trip we took. We haven’t played in India before, but we don’t feel any pressure. We’ve done our investigation, and we’ve heard that the circumstances are comparable to those in other Asian nations. Being the captain this time around is an honour, and I sincerely hope we return with a trophy.

We shall regrettably be without the supporters. We will play in crowded stadiums since, as far as I know, all of the games are sold out. Even though they won’t be present, our followers will still show their support by posting on social media. Although I have not personally witnessed it yet, I have heard that Indian fans also display their devotion, which makes me want to play there as well.

During the Asia Cup final cricket match between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo, Sri Lanka, India’s Mohammed Siraj celebrates the wicket of Sri Lanka’s Dhananjaya de Silva.

Mohammed Siraj, an Indian fast bowler, has recaptured the top spot in the ODI bowler rankings in advance of the ICC World Cup. Siraj advanced eight spots as a result of his outstanding performance in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka. He rose to the top spot because to his outstanding performance spell in which he needed only 6/21 to bowl out Sri Lanka for just 50 runs. Siraj had dropped to second place in March of this year, but he has since surpassed elite bowlers like Mitchell Starc, Rashid Khan, and Trent Boult.

Siraj’s comeback to the top of the standings is a huge boost for India as the World Cup approaches. His current form and consistency have made him an invaluable asset for the club, and he has replaced Mohammed Shami, who missed the majority of the Asia Cup this month, as the first choice in the playing XI.

Along with Siraj, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan, two Afghan spinners, saw an increase in their rankings. Rashid Khan is currently rated fifth in the ODI bowling rankings, while Mujeeb Ur Rahman is currently ranked fourth. Both spinners have contributed significantly to Afghanistan’s limited-overs cricket success and will be essential to their team’s World Cup run.

Keshav Maharaj of South Africa, who finished outside the top 10, had a remarkable rise in the rankings. Maharaj climbed ten spots to number 15 in the rankings, a career-high performance, because to his performance in the most recent ODI series against Australia, where he claimed eight wickets at an average of 16.87 and an economy rate of just 4.07 per over.

Heinrich Klaasen of South Africa moved up one spot to ninth in the ODI batting rankings after an outstanding performance against Australia in the fourth ODI, in which he scored 174 runs at a 209.64 strike rate. Ben Stokes, who recently announced his retirement, made an incredible return to ODI cricket at The Oval with a stunning 182-run innings, moving him up to position 36 in the rankings.

Bishamber Yadav,6 september 2023

Tuesday night, Sri Lanka narrowly advanced to the Asia Cup Super 4 stage with a thrilling two-run triumph. Tuesday’s last group game was dramatic as Afghanistan’s quest of a difficult goal took an unexpected turn. Based on estimations of the net run rate, Afghanistan briefly appeared to be in position to eliminate Sri Lanka from the competition; for them to join Bangladesh in moving out of Group B, they needed to reach a daunting 292-run mark in 37.1 overs. Afghanistan, however, didn’t appear to be aware of a critical calculation: they might have still advanced to the Super 4 by scoring 295 runs in the following three deliveries.

The 11th batter, Fazalhaq Farooqi, held off the following two balls from the part-time spinner de Silva in an exciting turn of events. Rashid Khan was unfortunately left stranded at the non-striker’s end as he was called out for a leg before wicket on the third delivery. As a result, Afghanistan’s innings was ended after 289 runs in 37.4 overs, falling just short of the necessary total and giving Sri Lanka a dramatic victory.

Afghanistan’s ability to reach the Super Fours

If they had been able to hit certain run targets at crucial times, they might have been able to surpass Sri Lanka in terms of net run rate. Here are several crucial run targets:

after 37.2 overs, 37.3 overs, 37.5 overs, 296 over 38 overs, or 297 over 38.1.

They needed their No. 11 Fazalhaq Farooqi to do the feats of valour in order to accomplish this. He had the opportunity to reach these goals by hitting a four on the first ball of the 38th over, a six on the third, fourth, or fifth delivery, or even by taking a single to give Rashid, who was batting at 27 runs off 16 balls, the chance to try and win the match on his own. The game was on the verge of being decided by a single run, but Sri Lanka eventually maintained composure to win handily.

It’s interesting to note that Jonathan Trott, the head coach of Afghanistan, said that the side had not been informed of all the specifics of the various target situations. Trott claims that Afghanistan was only aware that they needed to reach the mark in 37.1 overs.

Due to Afghanistan’s elimination from the group stage, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka joined Group A’s India and Pakistan in making it to the Super Fours stage of the Asia Cup. Bangladesh had recently thrashed Afghanistan in Lahore by a commanding 89-run margin.
