#T20 World Cup Match Playing 11

[bimesskaira]

I have finally come to my senses and it has finally just sunk in that India has WON, we freaking won the T20 world cup. I couldn't believe it. I was screaming with joy and happy tears were streaming down my face at 11.30 p.m. at night after Hardik Pandya's last delivery. My heartbeat during the entire match went 📈📉. I was so scared when Klassen was on the field and then hardik took his wicket. Hardik proved it, he proved what it means to turn your boos into cheers, what it is to complete one's redemption arc. His words : "last 6 months were, I haven't spoken a word, things have been unfair. I knew that if I kept working hard I could shine and do what I could do", they show how much he suffered and yet still kept a smile on his face. Those words of him will forever remind me to keep working on yourself and ignore the world because when the time comes everyone's criticism will turn into praise. Everybody's contribution yesterday and throughout the tournament has culminated into yesterday's win. If everyone hadn't contributed be it on the field or from the bench by carrying waterbottles or messages, the win wouldn't have been possible. After 11 years we finally won an icc trophy, the win finally eased the hurt of the memories of 2023 odi wc where 1.4 billion people shed tears and were haunted by the memories of that match. Yet despite the overwhelming happiness, today is also tinged with a bit of sadness and bitter melancholy, the reason being, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma. They are our childhood, we grew up watching them play. The jersey numbers VK18, Rohit45 and Jadeja8 are forever imprinted in our minds. Jadejas bullet fielding, Rohits pull shots and Virats batting will forever imprinted in our minds and hearts. Their retirement from the t20 format is marking the beginning of the end of an era. Yes, they will continue playing the longer formats of odi and test but we will miss them in t20's not only them but Trent boult and David Warner, too. But as they said it's time for the newer generation to come forward and carry the torch on and VK, Jaddu and Rohit definitely got the fairytale ending they deserved especially after not only the nightmarish 19th November but also the several semi finals and finals we lost over the years. Here, I will input that I am hoping for ishan kishan's comeback too. The dual emotions of happiness and sadness had made the overwhelming. Here's to hoping for an even brighter future. Here's to the future of indian cricket and Indian cricket team. Because we are THE WORLD T20 CHAMPIONS OF 2024!!!🥳🥳🥳.

The Allure of Cricket: A Worldwide Sporting Phenomenon

Introduction

Cricket is a team sport that originated in England and has gained immense global popularity. It involves two teams, each consisting of eleven players, taking turns to bat and field. The team batting tries to score runs by hitting the ball and running between wickets, while the team fielding aims to dismiss the batsmen and limit their runs.

The game is typically played between two teams, each consisting of 11 players. The objective is for one team to score more runs than the other. Runs are earned by the batsmen, who try to hit the ball bowled by the opposing team's bowler and run between wickets. The fielding team's goal is to dismiss the batsmen by getting them out in various ways, such as catching the ball or hitting the stumps with the ball. Cricket matches can last from a few hours to five days, depending on the format.

Cricket is played in various formats, including Test matches, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 (T20) matches. Test matches are played over several days, emphasizing endurance and strategy. ODIs are limited to 50 overs per side, and T20 matches are even shorter, with each team facing just 20 overs.

Cricket's popularity spans across continents, with strong followings in countries like India, Australia, England, Pakistan, South Africa, and the West Indies, among others. Major tournaments like the Cricket World Cup, held for both ODIs and T20s, capture global attention. The sport has a massive fan base, and international matches draw large audiences both at stadiums and through broadcasting. Cricket players become iconic figures, and the sport holds a significant place in the cultural fabric of many nations.

[ad_1] South Africa batters to face New Zealand spinners’ challenge (PC: ICC) Snehasis Mukherjee in Dubai A new champion of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup will be crowned today at the Dubai International Stadium as South Africa take on New Zealand. Throughout the tournament, South Africa’s top order has been superb, especially Tazmin Brits (2nd highest run-scorer with 170 runs, average 42.50, strike-rate 104.93) and skipper Laura Wolvaardt (highest run-scorer with 190 runs, average 47.50, strike rate 111.76). In the semi-final against Australia, Anneke Bosch delivered a top-class knock (74* off 48 balls) after struggling earlier in the tournament. The opening pair of Brits and Wolvaardt has been the most successful, but this has left their middle order with limited opportunities. Marizanne Kapp has batted three times, scoring 82 runs at a strike rate of 151.85, while players like Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, and Sune Luus have had very few chances. Heading into today’s final, this could be a concern. In five matches, the Proteas women have lost three wickets twice, five wickets once, and six wickets only once. But they lost those six wickets in Sharjah against England. In Dubai, as a batting unit, they have performed better, especially their top-order batters. In their opening game vs the Windies, they even chased down 119 runs without losing a single wicket. New Zealand’s spinners have been tremendous throughout the tournament. Eden Carson has been particularly effective in the powerplay, consistently taking wickets and putting early pressure on opponents. Amelia Kerr has dominated the middle overs and is currently the tournament’s highest wicket-taker with 12 at an economy rate of 4.60. So far, spinners have dismissed Wolvaardt three times and Brits twice. In this venue so far, spinners have taken 67 wickets in 11 games at an economy of 6.22 compared to pacers’ 48 wickets in 11 games at an economy of 6.17 in this tournament. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Chloe Tryon attended the pre-match press conference for South Africa ahead of the final (PC: Snehasis Mukherjee) Facing Carson in the first six overs will be a tough challenge for both South Africa’s skipper and her opening partner. If Carson manages to get an early breakthrough, South Africa’s largely untested middle order will need to step up — especially against Kerr in the middle overs. At yesterday’s pre-match press conference, Tryon was asked if the team had any special preparation to face New Zealand’s in-form spinners. She acknowledged their quality but said that South Africa had a plan in place to handle them. “We are playing a quality side,” she said. Their spinners; Amelia and Carson, have done well. We will look to be busy against them like we were against Australia, and we will see. We have to be proactive.” Against Australia, the Proteas scored 66 runs in eight overs from the spin trio of Ashleigh Gardner, Sophie Molineux, and Georgia Wareham, at a run rate of 8.25 without gifting a single wicket. Despite facing 20 dot balls in those 48 deliveries, they managed to hit seven fours and two sixes, staying proactive, and punishing loose deliveries without losing intent. The key battle in this final will be New Zealand’s spinners against South Africa’s top order. If the top order fails, the middle order, which has not been thoroughly tested, will need to rise to the occasion and overcome New Zealand’s spin challenge to post a competitive score.

The Speediest Centuries in T20 International Cricket

What is the record for the fastest century in T20 International cricket?

The record for the fastest 100 in T20 International cricket is currently held by Sahil Chauhan of Estonia. He achieved this milestone on June 17, 2024, scoring a hundred in just 27 balls against Cyprus. This stunning performance not only set a new record but also showcased Chauhan’s extraordinary power and precision, making him a standout player in T20I history.

Who scored the second fastest century in T20 International cricket in 2024?

In 2024, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton from Namibia scored the second fastest 100 in T20I cricket. Loftie-Eaton reached his hundred off 33 balls on February 27, 2024, during a match against Nepal. His aggressive approach and quick scoring were instrumental in Namibia’s strong performance during the game.

Who is the youngest player to score a T20I century in 2024?

As of 2024, Aritra Dutta from Singapore is recognized as one of the youngest players to achieve a T20I century. On February 11, 2024, Dutta scored a century off 44 balls against Japan. His ability to score quickly and set up a formidable total highlighted his potential and talent at a young age.

Has anyone from a non-Test playing nation scored a fast century in T20I?

Yes, there have been impressive performances from players representing non-Test playing nations. For example, Sahil Chauhan from Estonia and Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton from Namibia have both set records for fast centuries in T20Is. Their achievements emphasize the growing competitiveness and talent in the cricketing world beyond traditional Test-playing countries.

Which editions of the Men’s T20 World Cup did not have an individual century?

Not every edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup has featured a century. For instance, the 2007 and 2010 T20 World Cups did not see any individual century.

Phil Salt to lead after injured Jos Buttler ruled out of T20I series

England will be without their captain Jos Buttler for their T20I series against Australia after he was diagnosed with a recurrence of a calf injury that has kept him out of action in the English summer. England are set to play 3 T20Is against a visiting Australian side from September 11 to 15. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said opening batter Phil Salt will stand in as captain for the T20i series.

Jos Buttler is also doubtful for a 5-match ODI series between England and Australia, scheduled to be played from September 19 to 29. England have not played white-ball cricket since their disappointing semi-final defeat to India in the T20 World Cup 2024.

Jos Buttler was backed by the selectors and management to keep his job despite the below-par campaigns in ODI and T20 World Cups in 2023 and 2024, respectively. However, his return to action has been delayed due to the recurrence of the injury. The England skipper has not played competitive cricket since the T20 World Cup semi-final on June 27.

"Surrey all-rounder Jamie Overton has been called up as a replacement in the T20 squad. The three-match IT20 series is set to begin next week at the Utilita Bowl, Southampton, on 11 September 2024. Additionally, Essex batter Jordan Cox has been added to the ODI squad as cover," the ECB said in a statement. Harry Brook is expected to lead the ODI team if Jos Buttler fails to recover from the injury, according to The Guardian.

England Men's IT20 Squad: Phil Salt, Jofra Archer, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Josh Hull, Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Saqib Mahmood, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, John Turner.

England Men's ODI Squad: Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Ben Duckett, Josh Hull, Will Jacks, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Jamie Smith, Reece Topley, John Turner.

In ICC tournaments, India has a great track record, winning 11 wins in total. These are two Cricket World Cups, two T20 World Cups, and two Champions Trophies, all at the top level. Pakistan has also done well in the ICC tournament, winning five games, one in each group. In the ICC World Cup, India has won 14 games and Pakistan has only won one. There has been a lot of history and political tension between the two countries, starting with the Partition of British India in 1947 and continuing with the ongoing Kashmir dispute and several other wars between India and Pakistan. Even though they both grew up playing cricket in British colonies, these problems have made their competition much worse.

Head-to-Head Match Records Examining the head-to-head records, Pakistan has always held an advantage in one-day internationals as well as test matches. This figure reflects the fierce rivalry and fair playing field these meetings usually bring.

Two teams from different countries were able to show off their skills, speed, and strategic thinking in the fast-paced T20 version of the Asia Cup.

England's Pursuit of Another Semi-Final Triumph Against India

In recent years, England has shone brightest in semi-final matches, demonstrating their prowess in high-stakes games. Two dates stand out in their white-ball cricket resurgence: July 11, 2019, and November 10, 2022. These days saw England deliver two of their most impressive limited-overs performances, both leading to World Cup finals victories. In 2019, England crushed Australia by eight wickets to secure a spot in the 50-over World Cup final. In 2022, they defeated India by 10 wickets in Adelaide, reaching the T20 World Cup final amid a fervent crowd. This Thursday, England, the defending champions, return to Guyana for the first time in 14 years to face India in another crucial semi-final. Storm machine, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, via Wikimedia Commons Previously, England entered these matches as underdogs but managed to turn the tide spectacularly. Despite a rough start, they gained momentum with wins over Oman, Namibia, and the United States. The only Test-playing nation they beat was the West Indies, but they did so convincingly. This semi-final will be a true test of England's capabilities. India, on the other hand, has cruised through the tournament, particularly in New York, where they were the main attraction. They haven't faced significant challenges since their close win over Pakistan and continued their strong performance in the Caribbean. Captain Rohit Sharma's recent explosive innings against Australia, scoring 92 from 41 balls, signals a formidable challenge for England. Virat Kohli, although not in top form, is another potential threat. India had the advantage of knowing their semi-final venue early due to the tournament's scheduling for Indian television, while England faced last-minute travel arrangements. India's strategy includes a spin-heavy squad, anticipating the slow pitch in Guyana. Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, yet to play in the tournament, are expected to feature prominently. England might also consider debuting their spinner, Tom Hartley, to counter India's approach. Weather conditions and the lack of a reserve day add another layer of uncertainty. If rain disrupts play, India will advance due to their higher group stage ranking. England's recent history in knockout matches is positive, whereas India has struggled, losing four of their last five semi-finals in white-ball World Cups. A win for England would vindicate coach Matthew Mott and captain Jos Buttler, easing the disappointment of last year's 50-over World Cup. The victor of this match will likely be the favorite in the final, facing a South African team with its own semi-final demons. For England, a win on June 27 could become a landmark date, while a loss would quickly fade into obscurity amid the upcoming football frenzy. Read the full article

Jun 11, 2024 11:06 AM IST Ramiz Raja said if India hadn’t attempted to go to hell for leather, they could have taken the game beyond Pakistan’s reach. Former PCB chief Ramiz Raja said India did Pakistan “a favour by playing poorly” in the latter half of their innings in the T20 World Cup Group A match in New York, but the Babar Azam-led side failed to take advantage of it.

T20 World Cup: South Africa Beat Bangladesh In Record-breaking New York Nailbiter

Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Spinner Keshav Maharaj claimed two wickets while defending 10 runs in the final over as South Africa came up with a brilliant bowling effort to defend the lowest score in the history of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup to beat Bangladesh by four runs in a Group D match at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium here on Monday.With Bangladesh needing 11 runs to chase a target of 114 successfully, Maharaj bagged the wickets of Mahmudullah (20) and Jaker Ali (8) as Bangladesh were restricted to 109/7 in 20 overs. This is South Africa's third win in as many matches and has virtually sealed a place in the Super 8 stage. No team had ever successfully defended a total as low as 113/6 in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history, but South Africa’s attack pulled off a Manhattan miracle. After Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller had rescued the Proteas with a 79-run stand, Pacers Kagiso Rabada (2/19) and Anrich Nortje (2/17) played crucial roles in limiting the Bangladesh batting line-up. Towhid Hridoy almost played a winning hand with his sparkling 37 (34), but it all came down to a dramatic final over by Keshav Maharaj. After dismissing Jaker Ali (8 from 9), Maharaj was inches away from conceding the final runs, with Mahmudullah caught on the fence for 20 (27) with Bangladesh needing six to win from the final two balls. And new batter Taskin Ahmed wasn’t able to find the maximum off the closing ball of the innings as South Africa made it three wins from three to top Group D. The Bangladesh top order scrapped through a testing opening period in their chase, reaching the end of the Powerplay on 29/1, with opener Tanzid Hasan (9 from 9) the only batter dismissed – caught behind off Kagiso Rabada. But South Africa’s leading bowlers hit back through the middle overs to set up a nailbiter. Keshav Maharaj struck with his very first ball to get Litton Das for 9 from 13, and Anrich Nortje did damage to remove Najmul Hossain Shanto (14 from 23) and Shakib Al Hasan (3 from 4). A superb knock of 37 from 34 balls by Towhid Hridoy gave the Tigers a terrific chance, only for the match to take another swing in momentum when he was trapped lbw by Rabada to leave Bangladesh five down with 20 runs still required at exactly a run a ball. The game went down to the final over, bowled by the spinner Maharaj, who picked up two wickets and got away with a pair of full tosses from the two final balls of the innings as South Africa somehow escaped with a four-run margin of victory. Earlier, South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first against Bangladesh at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. An excellent partnership between Heinrich Klaasen (46 from 44) and David Miller (29 from 38) helped the Proteas recover to 113/6 after losing four early wickets. It was the Tigers who enjoyed the better of the opening stages, even after Quinton de Kock banged ten runs from the first three balls of the innings. Tanzim Hazan Sakib did much of the damage in the Powerplay, removing Reeza Hendricks (0 from 1), De Kock (18 from 11), and Tristan Stubbs (0 from 5), with Taskin Ahmed also getting in on the act to clean up captain Aiden Markram (4 from 8). And that flurry of early wickets left South Africa on 25/4 at the end of the opening six overs, but with Klassen and Miller still out in the middle and eyeing another rescue job. The pair put on a solid recovery partnership worth 79 at a run-a-ball, lifting South Africa to triple figures. Both set batters fell in the death overs as they looked to accelerate, but 113/6 could well prove tricky on a surface that offered plenty for the bowlers. Brief scores: South Africa 113/6 in 20 overs (Heinrich Klaasen 46, David Miller 29; Tanzim Hasan Sakib 3-18, Taskin Ahmed 2-19) beat Bangladesh 109/7 in 20 overs (Towhid Hridoy 37, Mahmudullah 20; Keshav Maharaj 3-27, Anrich Nortje 2-17, Kagiso Rabada 2-19) by four runs.

[ad_1] Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits (PC: ICC) Snehasis Mukherjee in Dubai The first semi-final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is upon us. Today, Australia face South Africa at the Dubai International Stadium. The Aussies are undefeated so far. The Proteas women have won all three games at this stadium. Both teams have quality players across all departments. However, one key battle will be between South Africa’s opening pair and Australia’s bowlers. Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits, South Africa’s openers, have been the most successful partnership of the tournament. They have scored 237 runs in four innings, averaging 79.00 with a strike-rate of 117.91. In the pre-match press conference yesterday, Wolvaardt spoke about their successful partnership. “We complement each other, and her (Brits) running between the wickets is also good,” she said. Interestingly, before this tournament, their partnership was a concern. Between the start of the year and this tournament, they had scored only 305 runs in 11 innings, averaging 27.72. Eight other opening pairs performed better. In the UAE, however, both Wolvaardt and Brits have adapted well. They have played their shots by quickly adjusting to the conditions and using the depth of crease, especially against the spinners. Whether playing in Dubai or Sharjah, they have built solid foundations for the middle order. South Africa’s star all-rounder, Nadine de Klerk, echoed this in an interview with RevSportz. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here “Our batters have actually done really well, and we have that depth,” said de Klerk. “We have two of the leading run-scorers in the tournament in our side. In the last couple of years, our batting department has not really been consistent. Here, things have been different, and we have been consistent in all our games.” Brits is the tournament’s top scorer with 155 runs in four innings, averaging 51.66 at a strike-rate of 105.44. Wolvaardt is fourth with 148 runs, averaging 49.33 at a strike rate of 111.27. Individually, Wolvaardt and Brits have also been successful against Australia. Wolvaardt has 210 runs in six innings against them, averaging 52.50 with a strike-rate of 116.66. Brits has 155 runs from five innings, averaging 38.75 and striking at 111.51. They will be key for South Africa today. For Australia, early wickets are crucial. Spinners have been more successful in Dubai, taking 66 wickets in 10 matches. Wolvaardt has been dismissed by spinners three times in this tournament, and Brits twice. So, Australia could turn to Sophie Molineux and Ashleigh Gardner early in the powerplay to try and break this key Proteas partnership.
