Both teams have remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, promising an intense battle for the trophy. India, the defending champions, won the inaugural edition in South Africa, defeating England in the final under Shafali Verma’s captaincy. Now, under the leadership of Niki Prasad, they aim to retain the title. For South Africa, this is a golden opportunity to claim their maiden championship, and with the momentum they have built, they will be eager to seize the moment.  Journey so far India India have been absolutely dominant in their title defence so far! They started strong in the group stage, thrashing West Indies by nine wickets, Malaysia by 10 wickets, and Sri Lanka by 60 runs. India carried the momentum into the ‘Super Six’ stage, where they cruised past Bangladesh by eight wickets and demolished Scotland with a commanding 150-run victory. In the semi-final against England, India faced some early pressure but held their nerve to secure a massive nine-wicket win, sealing their spot in the final in an emphatic fashion. South Africa South Africa’s journey to the final has been solid, with a mix of dominant wins and rain-affected games. They started their campaign with a 22-run victory over New Zealand before thrashing Samoa by 10 wickets and securing a 41-run (DLS) win over Nigeria to advance to the ‘Super Six’ stage. Rain played a role in this phase, affecting both of their matches. They managed to defeat Ireland by seven wickets, while their game against the USA was abandoned. However, their points and net run rate were enough to seal a semi-final spot. South Africa team after their semi-final win (PC: T20WorldCup/X) In the semis, South Africa delivered their best performance of the tournament, knocking out tournament favourites Australia with a five-wicket win, showcasing their ability to rise to the occasion when it matters most. Previous meetings In the previous edition of the tournament, they met in the group stage, where India secured a seven-wicket win by successfully chasing a 167-run target at Willowmoore Park. Several players from both teams who participated in that match are part of this final as well. For India, Shabnam (0/20), Sonam Yadav (1/47), and Gongadi Trisha (15 off 11) featured in that game. On the South African side, Simone Lourens (61 off 44), skipper Kayla Reyneke (11 off 26), wicketkeeper Karabo Meso (19* off 11), Seshnie Naidu (1/32), and Nthabiseng Nini (0/26) were part of the playing XI. More recently, both teams clashed in a warm-up match at Bangi before this tournament. India once again emerged victorious, winning by six wickets (via DLS). South Africa batted first and posted 129/5 in 19.4 overs, with captain Reyneke leading the way with a 26-ball 47, including two fours and four sixes. For India, Shabnam, Parunika Sisodia, and Vaishnavi Sharma picked up a wicket each. In response, India reached 109/4 in 13.3 overs before rain intervened, and they were declared winners via the DLS method. Trisha top-scored with 32 off 20 balls, while Monalisa Legodi was the standout bowler for South Africa, taking two wickets.     For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Gongadi Trisha after smashing century against Scotland in the Women’s U19 T20 World Cup 2025 (PC: BCCI Women/X) Players to watch out for India India has been outstanding in all three departments throughout the tournament. Having played all their matches in Kuala Lumpur, they are well-acquainted with the conditions and pitch behaviour. Their familiarity with the venue is an added advantage, as they also won the Women’s U19 Asia Cup here in 2024, where their spinners and Trisha played a crucial role. Spin is expected to play a major role in the final, with Aayushi Shukla, Parunika, and Vaishnavi leading the charge.

Vaishnavi is the tournament’s leading wicket-taker, having claimed 15 wickets in five matches at an incredible economy of 2.83 (including a hattrick). Aayushi follows closely with 12 wickets in six games at an economy of 3.15. The pace duo of Shabnam and Joshitha VJ will also be key in providing early breakthroughs. In the batting department, India’s top order has been dominant. Trisha is currently the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 265 runs in six innings, averaging 66.25 with a strike rate of 149.71 (including a century). G Kamalini, who is third on the run-scoring charts with 135 runs in six innings, has stepped up with crucial performances in her last two knocks (51, 56*).  South Africa Skipper Reyneke has been leading from the front, making an impact with both bat and ball. She is currently the tournament’s third-highest wicket-taker with 10 wickets in five matches at an economy of 4.34. Her off-breaks will be crucial, especially on a surface that has assisted spin throughout the tournament. The pace duo of Monalisa and Nthabiseng Nini will also be key factors, having taken six wickets each so far. With the bat, Jemma Botha could be a threat to the Indian bowlers, given her attacking approach in the semifinal against Australia (37 off 24, SR 154.16). However, she struggled in the warm-up game against India, managing only a four-ball duck. The Proteas will be hoping she can replicate her semifinal heroics when it matters most.  Team India after their semi-final win (PC: T20WorldCup/X) Concerns India The only concern for them may be their middle order, which has not had enough game time in the middle throughout the tournament. In a high-pressure final, whether they are setting a target or chasing, if the in-form top order fails, the reaction of the middle-order batters will be crucial. So far, they have rarely been tested, losing just one wicket in three matches and two wickets in another. Their only real test came against Sri Lanka, where they lost nine wickets. South Africa They have played only the semi-final in Kuala Lumpur, whereas India have played all their matches there. This means the Proteas are less familiar with the conditions, having played the rest of their games in Kuching. Rain-affected matches also limited their batters’ opportunities to score big runs and build confidence. However, their composed chase of 106 runs in 18.1 overs against Australia in the semi-final will give them a huge boost. Ultimately, their bowlers will be key. If they do not step up, India might take control of the game with ease.     TRAILBLAZERS 3.0 (PC: File) India enter the final as favourites after their dominant performances throughout the tournament. However, South African cricket—both men’s and women’s—has seen a remarkable rise in the past few years. The senior women’s team reached the semi-finals of the 2022 ODI World Cup and finished as runners-up in the 2023 and 2024 T20 World Cups. Meanwhile, the men’s team made the semi-finals of the 2023 ODI World Cup and the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Despite coming close, they have yet to cross the finish line. Whether these young South African girls can finally break the jinx remains to be seen.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: PCB Ordered to Appoint Sarfaraz Ahmed as 'mentor' to Crush India

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The Champions Trophy 2025 is just a month away now and the teams have started preparing their respective squads for the marquee ICC tournament. While all the teams have officially announced their squads, India and Pakistan are yet to do it.

According to the reports, Pakistan has submitted its list of preliminary players but will trim the squad down to 15 players by February 10. The Men in Green have opted to go for a young squad and it doesn't have the experience of veteran wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed in it.

However, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has a new role for Sarfaraz Ahmed in the upcoming Champions Trophy. Basit wants Sarfaraz Ahmed to be appointed as the mentor and has urged the Pakistan Cricket Board to take action soon.

Basit Ali has a new role for Sarfaraz Ahmed

While speaking on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali asked the PCB to learn from the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) and appoint a mentor for the Champions Trophy. He named Sarfaraz Ahmed for the role since he has the experience of beating India in the Champions Trophy 2017 final.

“Afghanistan appointed the great Younis Khan as mentor, who is a good choice. People in Pakistan must be sleeping, so is the board. They need a mentor against India, someone who won you the Champions Trophy the last time: Sarfaraz Ahmed,” Basit said.

“In this match, Sarfaraz's suggestions will work. He has the experience of lifting the trophy against them. I won't take anyone else's name. He led the team to victory,” he added.

Under the leadership of Sarfaraz Ahmed, Pakistan won the 2017 Champions Trophy after defeating arch-rivals India in the final. The Men in Green arrived into the final as underdogs but stunned India on the historic occasion.

Afghanistan rope in Younis Khan as a mentor

The ACB recently appointed the legendary Pakistan batter Younis Khan as Afghanistan's mentor for the upcoming Champions Trophy to help the team get used to the local conditions. The ACB has previously picked players from the host nations as mentors for specific ICC tournaments.

In the 2023 ODI World Cup held in India, Ajay Jadeja was roped in as their mentor as Afghanistan registered historic wins over Pakistan and England in the tournament. Jadeja's experience of local conditions helped the team get used to it.

In the T20 World Cup 2024, Afghanistan had Dwayne Bravo as their mentor as the tournament was held in the West Indies. Afghanistan reached the semi-finals of the tournament in their greatest-ever finish in a senior ICC event.

India Bow Out Beating Underdog Namibia 

T20 World Cup - Super 12 - Group 2 - India vs Namibia - Dubai 

India bowed out of the T20 World Cup sad that they could not qualify for the semi finals but happy that they did not lose to underdog Namibia in Dubai on Monday night after some humiliating early days in the tournament when they lost to arch rivals Pakistan and New Zealand that signalled their exit.

Their sign-off match must have been one of their easiest of the contests to deal with after restricting Namibia to 132 for 8 and then reaching the target for the loss of just one wicket with 4.4 overs to spare.

Opener Rohit Sharma thrived on his luck on three occasions, first through a dropped catch at short fine-leg in the first over and then playing two balls to fall short of the fielders before reaching a half century in an opening partnership of 86 runs with KL Rahul who remained unbeaten on 54.

In making 56, Sharma struck seven fours and two sixes in 37 balls before playing the ball up in the air for wicket-keeper Zane Green to get under and take the catch.

Namibia put into bat first, started off as if they meant business with openers Stephen Baard and Michael van Lingen scoring at a brisk pace but with their stand having realised 33 in 4.4 overs, the floodgates were opened as Lingen failed to play a ball from paceman Jasprit Bumrah over mid-off where Mohammad Shami took the catch.

Lingen made 14 after which Ravindra Jadeja trapped Baard leg-before for 21.

Only some desperate hitting by David Wiese (26) and the ninth wicket pair of Jan Frylinck (15 not out) and Ruben Trumpelmann (13 not out) took Namibia to a total of 132 for 8, as Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets each.

Scores: Namibia 132 for 8 in 20 overs (Stephan Baard 21, David Wiese 26, R Ashwin 3 for 20, R Jadeja 3 for 16, J Bumrah 2 for 19) India 136 for 1 in 15.2 overs (Rohit Sharma 56, KL Rahul 54 not out, Suriyakumar Yadav 25 not out)

Sjoerd Marijne To Step Down As Indian Women's Hockey Team Coach, Says Tokyo Olympics Was Last Assignment

The Sjoerd Marijne-coached Indian women's hockey team reached the Olympic semis for the first time.© Twitter/SjoerdMarijneThe Indian women's hockey team's chief coach Sjoerd Marijne on Friday revealed that the bronze medal match against Great Britain in the ongoing Olympics was his last assignment with the side. The 47-year-old coached the Indian women's hockey team to its best ever performance in the Olympic Games, guiding them to a creditable fourth place finish here. The Indian women came tantalisingly close to winning their maiden Olympic medal before losing to Great Britain 3-4 in a close bronze play-off match.Hours after this feat, Marijne announced that it was his last assignment with the Indian team. "I don't have any plans because this was my last match with Indian women. It's up to Janneka (Schopman) now," the Dutchman told the Indian media in a virtual press conference.It has been learnt that both Marijne and team's analytical coach Janneka Schopman were offered an extension by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) but the former refused the offer due to personal reasons.Sources in the know of developments told PTI that Schopman is expected to take over Marine's position on a full-time basis now. Marijne, a former Dutch player, took over the reins of the Indian women's team first in 2017 but was appointed the coach of the men's side later that year.PromotedHowever, in 2018, he was re-designated the women's coach in a rejigging of roles. Marijne played for Netherlands and guided the Dutch Under-21 women's side to a World Cup title. He also coached the Dutch senior women's side to a gold at the Hockey World League Semi Finals in 2015.The affable Dutchman has been unable to visit his family for the last 16 months due to the COVID-19 related travel restrictions and this could well be a major reason behind his decision of quitting the India job.Topics mentioned in this article Read the full article

Chapter 18

Your head was like it was going to explode. The morning sun slightly shined from the window, shining straight to your face. You opened your eye and looked the morning sun with narrow eyes before you groaned and turned to lay on your other side and pulled the blanket over your head.

The bed was cold, so you knew without looking that Sam wasn’t in bed.

You tried to catch the sleep again, but soon you heard how the bedroom door got open, heavy steps walking inside and soon how Sam put something down on his side of the bed.

The smell of fresh coffee floated to your nose through the blanket, so you lifted it little from your face and saw a tray on the bed with a cup of coffee, a glass of water, fruit salad and aspirin.

The bed wriggled when Sam sat down, putting his hand on your shoulder above the blanket.

“Morning sleeping beauty.” He whispered, lifting the blanket more to see your face. You had little black circles around your eyes, and your hair was messy, but still, you were the most beautiful creature in the world in his eyes.

“Can you please shut the curtains.” You growled with your low, tired morning voice. Sam got up and shut the curtains, while you sat up when there was finally dark enough for you to threw the blanket away.

Sam sat back down, while you took the aspirin and the glass of water from the tray, throwing the pill to your mouth and drinking the water with one sitting.

You had your eyes closed when you slowly put the glass back down to the tray, and Sam dragged hair strap from your face behind your ear.

You smacked a little and tasted how in your mouth it tasted like shit. You didn’t wash your teeth before starting to sleep, and the couple drags from Sam’s cigarette was still lingering in your mouth. And you didn’t miss that taste at all.

“How is that pretty head?” Sam whispered, smiling as he gently brushed your hair.

You grabbed the cup of coffee, smelled the delicious aroma before taking a careful sip. You closed your eyes and sighed long.

Sam brushed your hair, smiling small when he looked at you.

You took the bowl of fruit salad, starting slowing load the fruits in your mouth to give your stomach something to eat.

After few moments Sam opened his mouth again.

“So you accepted the India job?”

You nodded.

“You want us to do it together?” Sam continued, taking a piece of banana from the bowl between his fingers and putting it in his mouth.

You tasted the fresh fruits in your mouth, feeling how the taste of the cigarette was still lingering in there too from last night, as looking at Sam.

You wanted to go on an adventure with Sam, that was one of the reasons you fell in love with him. He was like you, adventurer, explorer. You two could explore the whole world together.

“Of course I want you there with me. But first I need to talk to Chloe about the details.”

Sam hooked his fingers under your chin, pulled your face closer and gently pushed his lips against yours.

When you withdrew from the kiss, you grinned, the taste of the cigarette was bothering you, and you wanted to get into the shower and brush your teeth.

"Thank you for breakfast." You whispered as Sam nodded.

"I'm going to shower." You smiled, biting your lip while Sam gave you a small peck on your lips. You wanted to ask him to join you, but you wanted to take your time to wash the hangover away from you.

You got up from the bed, and Sam took the tray with him and headed to the kitchen, as you made your way to the bathroom.

Chloe called you later that day, and you asked her to come to your place to talk. Sam left the city as you waited for Chloe to come and talk about the details. She was okay with the fact that Sam would come too, as long as you tell everything about the Tusk and Hoysala and you won’t expose yourselves.

You put the cups on the table while waiting for the coffee to pour when your doorbell rang, and you walked to the door.

Chloe stood there with same clothes as yesterday, since she stayed last night in Elena and Nate’s place.

You walked to the kitchen, you poured the coffee into the cups and put the milk on the table and sat another side of the table while Chloe grabbed the milk and added it to her coffee.

“So, what we need to do?” You asked, taking the milk can and poured it into your cup, and taking a sip.

“You two need to get there to play these experts to find one disk for me. That disk will tell us where the tusk is.”

You nodded, sounded too easy.

“What about this, Asav?” Chloe took from her pocket some papers, put them on the table and pushed them closer to you as you reached to them and started to read.

“He’s ruthless and smart. You two need to learn your parts well so there won’t be any holes in there and he won’t suspect anything. You think you can teach Sam everything in five weeks?”

You looked at the picture of Asav and some of his men and read the small newspaper new about them.

“He won’t hesitate to put a bullet in your head,” Chloe said with low voice, making you look at her with your eyebrows.

“So I have five weeks to teach Sam everything he needs, and then we go to India to search the disk?”

Chloe nodded.

You turned to look at the picture again before you placed it back on the table.

“I can do that.”

“Good, I’ll bring you all I got for this case, about the tusk, the disk, Asav and his men so you can start your research. I leave from town, but I’ll be back in two weeks to test you and especially Sam.”

You drank the rest of your coffee and stood up to pour yourself more when you heard how Chloe put something jingling on the table.

When you turned, you saw red furry covered handcuffs on the table.

“Are you serious?” You asked while grabbing the milk.

“You sure you don’t want to test them?” Chloe asked, putting the keys next to the cuffs.

You put the milk back to table, leaned the table lightly with your hips while biting your lip. It was tempting to try what Sam would think about this new thing. He sure was one dirty pervert in bed - or anywhere else public or semi-public - but was he this dirty?

India's great athlete PV Sandhu

 P V Sindhu was born into a Telugu based Jat family.  Sindhu's father PV Raman and mother P Vijay have both been volleyball players.  While Sindhu plays badminton.

 When asked about this by her father, they say that she was very impressed with the success of former Badminton and current coach Pullela Gopichand of India.  One day the outgoing Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu N.  Pullela Gopichand was honored by Chandrababu.  Seeing which PV Sindhu was very impressed and chose badminton

 That day i.e. in 2001 Pullela Gopichand was All England Open Badminton Champion.  Due to which Sindhu was very impressed and determined to become a badminton player.

 Badminton life

 In this way, Sindhu learned the basics of badminton at the Badminton Court of the Indian Railway Institute of Signal Engineering and Telecommunications in Secunderabad, under the guidance of coach Mahbub Ali, who teaches badminton.

 After that she started learning the nuances of badminton from Inspiring Man i.e. Pullela Gopichand.

 Sindhu's path was not so easy.  There was a long distance of 56 km between his home and Badminton Academy, due to which five hours of his day was spent traveling.

 Sindhu did not hold back from working hard since childhood.  Sindhu used to walk from her house to the academy at 4 am to reach the academy on time.  (Because the afternoon session was a reserve for world star Saina Nehwal.) She then reached her destination on time.

 After coming to the academy, Pullela used to sweat a lot daily under the guidance of Gopichand and practiced a lot with his fellow players and returned to his home in the late evening.

 This was the routine of 12-year-old Sindhu, which is 5 times harder than the routine of any common person.

 Winning campaign

 Well, due to constant hard work and early learning of the techniques of badminton, she became a strong player.  Due to which, at that very young age, he won a heap of victorious medals.  As a result, Sindhu soon proved to be the ace of her region.

 Sindhu won the flag at the national level by winning the Under 10, 13, and 14 titles of the All India Ranking Championship.

 With such an outstanding performance, Sindhu soon got a chance to showcase her jewelery at the 2009 Sub-Junior Asian Badminton Championships, where she tasted her first international win by winning the Bronze medal.

 This was the beginning of tasting the victory at the international level, winning the Asia Youth Under 19 championship in July 2012.

 In the same year, in the China Master Super Series tournament, beating the 2012 London Olympic champion Lee Jurai created a storm in the whole badminton world.

 Sindhu suffered injury at this China Open, yet she participated in 77th Senior National Badminton Championships and also reached the finals.  But his wicket was heavy on his game, due to which he lost the final match by 15-21, 21-15, 15-21 to Sayli Gokhale.

 After this championship, Sindhu decided to treat her injury first, which led to her dropping the Japan Open and several national championships.

 However, when P V Sindhu got fit, she competed in the Syed Modi India Grand Prix Gold held in Lucknow in December 2012, where she had to settle for second place, while she did not lose a single set until reaching the final.

 But despite losing in the final match, he got a big advantage in the world rankings.  She went on to rank 15th in world badminton, her career best ranking.

 The year of 2013 was a big bang for him, where he won against the best players of the world.  This year Sindhu won the Malaysian Open Title and won the world no.  Becoming the first Indian woman to win the World Championship by defeating 2 Chinese player Wang Yihan in the quarterfinals and 7th ranked Chinese player Wang Xiian in the final.

 This year his journey to victory did not stop here.  She won her first Grand Prix Gold by defeating Canadian Michelle Lee in the Macau Open Grand Prix Gold.

 At the end of the year, Sindhu's victory gave her a huge gift when she was awarded the Arjuna Award by the Indian President.

 Like in 2013, in 2014, P V Sindhu made a big debut in the badminton world with her spirits, where she reached the semi-finals at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and World Cup held in Denmark, World No.2 Xi'ian Wang and World No.  5 South Korea's player Bae Ion Joo retained his winning streak.  Due to which she became the first Indian woman to win consecutive medals in the World Cup.

 P V Sindhu became faster and mature in his game as he won against the biggest players of the world.  Proof of this was seen in 2015, when they dusted off the top players of the world like Ty Joo Ing, Wang Ian and Carolina Marin at the Denmark Open.  But in the final, Li Jurai suffered a defeat.

 Macau was able to retain its Grand Prix Gold by winning the Grand Prix Gold in November 2015.

 Rio Olympics

 Successive wins had now become a habit for Sindhu, as we can see in 2016, where she won gold at the Malaysia Master Grand Prix Gold earlier this year and is now the Badminton World No.1 in the pre-quarterfinals at the Rio Olympics.  Tai Ju Ing, 8, held the world no. In the quarter-finals.  It made history by reaching the badminton final of the Rio Olympics by defeating 2nd ranked Chinese Wang Ehan and sixth-ranked Japanese player Nozomi Okuhara in the semi-finals.  Where he competed against world no.  1 Spanish player is from Carolina Marian.  There is a record of 3-4 between the two i.e. Sindhu has defeated Carolina 3 times, while Carolina has defeated Sindhu 4 times.
