Australia: 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Champions

Australia 241 for 4 (Head 137, Labuschagne 58*, Bumrah 2-43) beat India 240 (Rahul 66, Kohli 54, Starc 3-55, Cummins 2-34, Hazlewood 2-60) by six wickets

India may be where the heart of the game now resides, but the coolest Head in cricket has once again been shown to be Australian. Travis Head, to be precise, who set up his side's record-extending sixth World Cup victory with a triumphantly paced 137 from 120 balls in Ahmedabad, but whose most significant contribution arguably came some six-and-a-half hours beforehand, with one of the most match-turning catches in ODI history.

What might have been for these two teams had Head not held onto a steepling, sprawling take, running backwards into the covers to saw off India's captain, Rohit Sharma, in his prime? Australia's eventual target of 241 would have been significantly higher, no doubt, and to judge by the ferocity with which India's new-ball bowlers clawed at their opponents in the powerplay - with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami inevitably to the fore - there would have been all the more opportunities for their chase to have toppled off its tightrope.

Instead, Head held on, and in so doing, he applied a handbrake to a runaway innings that would never be fully released. On Rohit's watch, India had racked up 10 fours and three sixes in blazing along to 80 for 2 in the first powerplay. Once he'd gone, India mustered just four more fours, and 160 more runs, across the next 40 overs. It meant they were unable to post a total big enough to mitigate against the inevitable onset of dew - the primary reason why Pat Cummins had risked letting Rohit and Co. set the agenda in the first place.

And so Australia's victory came at a canter in the end, with six wickets standing and a huge 42 balls unused - a margin that would have been greater still but for Head's dismissal to the penultimate ball of the chase. Undeterred, Glenn Maxwell pulled his first ball for two to take his side through to a victory target which - as fate would have it - was the exact total that England and New Zealand had been unable to split by conventional means four years ago.

But that ease at the finish told nothing of the jeopardy that had preceded it. At 47 for 3 after seven overs, with Steven Smith inexplicably failing to review an lbw from Bumrah that was shown to have struck his pad outside off, Australia were in the thick of a do-or-die tussle against two of the most outstanding performers of India's previously peerless campaign.

David Warner, in what may turn out to be his final ODI innings, had scuffed Shami's first legitimate delivery to Virat Kohli at slip for 7, having fenced his own first ball of the innings (from Bumrah) past the same fielder's boot for four, and with Mitchell Marsh's attempt to hit the quicks off their lengths ending in a loose cut through to the keeper, the crowd had found its full voice for the first time in the game.

But Marnus Labuschagne, retained in Australia's starting XI despite the sense, mid-tournament, that he and Head were competing for a solitary berth, showed the value of his Test pre-eminence with an indomitable sidekick's role of 58 not out from 110 balls. Over by over, run by run, he and Head extended their crucial fourth-wicket stand of 192, seeing off pace and spin alike until, at some indefinable moment around the 20th over of the chase, the bite in a two-paced wicket was replaced with the even-sprayed skid of the long-promised dew.

When Bumrah returned for the 28th over for a last roll of the dice with Australia beginning to accelerate away on 148 for 3, he was greeted with three flayed fours from Head, either side of an excruciating umpire's call appeal for lbw against Labuschagne that felt like final proof that India's hope had gone.

Ultimately, it was a clinical and ruthlessly passion-killing display from the most formidable winners in the world game. Every man in Australia's XI played his part in sucking the marrow from a contest that, to judge by the sea of blue in the Narendra Modi Stadium's stands and the expectant attendance of the eponymous PM himself, had been intended as a coronation. Instead, the closing hour of the match was greeted in stunned silence by a 92,453-strong crowd, and nothing epitomised the sense of national anticlimax quite like the trophy-lift itself, for which Cummins was left forlorn on the podium for a full 20 seconds before his team was able to join him after accepting their handshakes away from centre stage.

Not that the lack of in-situ acclaim will derail Australia's sense of achievement. As Head's pivotal catch would ultimately prove, the tone for their victory was once again set in the field. As had been the case in the semi-final against South Africa, the 37-year-old Warner was their barometer, flinging himself with gusto to cut off numerous boundary balls, but while Rohit was on deck, it seemed that Cummins' brave decision to bowl first might get soon overwhelmed, like so many opponents before them, by India's extraordinary weight of strokemakers.

Instead, he backed his bowlers to complete the job they had started in their extraordinary tournament opener in Chennai, where India's top three had all made ducks in slumping to 2 for 3, only for their sub-par target of 200 to be picked off with ease. This time, the dew notwithstanding, he figured the pressure of the big occasion might weigh more heavily in the first innings than the second - especially if his attack could make their early breakthroughs.

All of which made Rohit's shortlived onslaught all the more brave, selfless even, as he shouldered the entire responsibility for India's powerplay proactivity, particularly against Josh Hazlewood, the instigator of that Chennai collapse. In the manner of his charging down the pitch to meet his hard lengths, there were shades of Sachin Tendulkar's pre-emptive attack on Glenn McGrath in the 2003 final … except on this occasion it seemed, briefly, to be working.

But then came the unequivocal moment of the match - a act of fielding majesty that stood immediate comparison with Kapil Dev's running catch off Viv Richards at the pivotal juncture of the 1983 final. Rohit had already slammed ten runs in two balls from Glenn Maxwell's second over, when he stepped into another slap over the long-off boundary, and miscued high out into the covers. Travis Head tracked back from point with the ball skewing high over his shoulder, and with his eyes never leaving the prize, timed his dive to perfection to cling on with both hands.

It will go down as a seminal World Cup moment. Australia had still been battered for 80 runs in the first powerplay - the joint-most conceded in that phase of the first innings of a World Cup final - but now they sensed their chance to turn the contest on its head. Two balls later, Cummins, into his second over, found Shreyas Iyer's edge as he poked without conviction or footwork, and at three down in the 11th, with Shubman Gill already gone to a flaccid pull off Mitchell Starc, Hardik Pandya's absence as India's lower-order pivot was suddenly revealed to be the weakness that Shami's stunning impact with the ball had hitherto concealed.

There had been no such angst while India had been pounding along in each of their ten previous tournament wins - including five untroubled chases to launch their campaign, and a net margin of 875 runs in their five subsequent bat-first victories. As a consequence, India's Nos. 6-11 had barely been called upon in scoring a total of 240 runs between them in those matches, the lowest of any team in this tournament, and now suddenly, with Shami and Bumrah inked in at Nos.8 and 9, none of their set batters dared to be the one to set that descent into the tail into motion.

At least in Kohli, India had a man whose tempo in such circumstances could be trusted. On his team's better days, and in spite of his formidable tournament haul of 765 runs at 95.62, his ruthless devotion to run-making had been mistaken for a weakness. Now his 56-ball fifty was the bedrock of his team's recovery, albeit the reaction to his latest landmark was a pent-up roar that merely exacerbated the anxious hubbub that had preceded it.

But Australia's magnificent attack could not be denied, especially after Cummins had seized on his opponents' visible reticence to smuggle through a churn of change bowlers. Between them, Maxwell, Head and Marsh burgled ten overs for 44, a perfect holding pattern that bought back options for the back end of the innings.

That included the return of the captain himself for the 29th over. With the third ball of his second spell, Cummins hit an awkward length with his short ball, and Kohli looked genuinely emotional as he under-edged onto his stumps with an angled bat, glared at the length from which it had lifted, and glanced over his shoulder before trudging off, as if assessing the pull shot he had chosen to keep in his locker.

KL Rahul endured, but was scarcely unable to unfurl either, even though he did break a 97-ball sequence without a boundary by lobbing Maxwell over his shoulder through fine leg for four, the longest such barren spell for any team in this tournament other than Netherlands, and India's longest between overs 11-50 since 1999.

But on 66, he and the lower order came face to face with another threat that India's own seamers would be forced to do without. In preparing a visibly dry and abrasive deck for this final, the curators had opened the possibility of reverse-swing, and few teams have more eager exponents than Australia. Starc, from round the wicket, straightened an unplayable delivery into Rahul's edge and through to the keeper.

Though Ravindra Jadeja is renowned as a scrapper in such circumstances, his promotion to No.6 couldn't contend with Hazlewood's similarly late movement. After surviving one review for caught-behind he succumbed to the very next ball for 6, at which point, India's easy progress to the final fully caught up with them. With no situational experience to fall back on - and no pace in the wicket with which to access his inverted V from fine leg to deep third - Suryakumar Yadav ground out 18 from 27 before lobbing Hazlewood to the keeper, by which stage he'd faced just five balls out of a possible 17 in his ninth-wicket stand with Kuldeep Yadav.

Kuldeep and Mohammed Siraj kept the innings alive to the final ball, but the mood within the stadium was never able to emerge from its funk. Australia had come with a plan, and the sure knowledge of what it truly takes to win the biggest title in the sport. Ahmedabad turned blue alright, but only with a wistful sense of what might have been.

Lee Konitz, jazz alto saxophonist who was a founding influence on the ‘cool school’ of the 1950s  died aged 92

The music critic Gary Giddins once likened the alto saxophone playing of Lee Konitz, who has died aged 92 from complications of Covid-19, to the sound of someone “thinking out loud”. In the hothouse of an impulsive, spontaneous music, Konitz sounded like a jazz player from a different habitat entirely – a man immersed in contemplation more than impassioned tumult, a patient explorer of fine-tuned nuances.

Konitz played with a delicate intelligence and meticulous attention to detail, his phrasing impassively steady in its dynamics but bewitching in line. Yet he relished the risks of improvising. He loved long, curling melodies that kept their ultimate destinations hidden, he had a pure tone that eschewed dramatic embellishments, and he seemed to have all the time in the world. “Lee really likes playing with no music there at all,” the trumpeter Kenny Wheeler once told me. “He’ll say ‘You start this tune’ and you’ll say ‘What tune?’ and he’ll say ‘I don’t care, just start.’”

Born in Chicago, the youngest of three sons of immigrant parents – an Austrian father, who ran a laundry business, and a Russian mother, who encouraged his musical interests – Konitz became a founding influence on the 1950s “cool school”, which was, in part, an attempt to get out of the way of the almost unavoidable dominance of Charlie Parker on post-1940s jazz. For all his technical brilliance, Parker was a raw, earthy and impassioned player, and rarely far from the blues. As a child, Konitz studied the clarinet with a member of Chicago Symphony Orchestra and he had a classical player’s silvery purity of tone; he avoided both heart-on-sleeve vibrato and the staccato accents characterising bebop.

However, Konitz and Parker had a mutual admiration for the saxophone sound of Lester Young – much accelerated but still audible in Parker’s phrasing, tonally recognisable in Konitz’s poignant, stately and rather melancholy sound. Konitz switched from clarinet to saxophone in 1942, initially adopting the tenor instrument. He began playing professionally, and encountered Lennie Tristano, the blind, autocratic, musically visionary Chicago pianist who was probably the biggest single influence on the cool movement. Tristano valued an almost mathematically pristine melodic inventiveness over emotional colouration in music, and was obsessive in its pursuit. “He felt and communicated that music was a serious matter,” Konitz said. “It wasn’t a game, or a means of making a living, it was a life force.”

Tristano came close to anticipating free improvisation more than a decade before the notion took wider hold, and his impatience with the dictatorship of popular songs and their inexorable chord patterns – then the underpinnings of virtually all jazz – affected all his disciples. Konitz declared much later that a self-contained, standalone improvised solo with its own inner logic, rather than a string of variations on chords, was always his objective. His pursuit of this dream put pressures on his career that many musicians with less exacting standards were able to avoid.

Konitz switched from tenor to alto saxophone in the 1940s. He worked with the clarinettist Jerry Wald, and by 20 he was in Claude Thornhill’s dance band. This subtle outfit was widely admired for its slow-moving, atmospheric “clouds of sound” arrangements, and its use of what jazz hardliners sometimes dismissed as “front-parlour instruments” – bassoons, French horns, bass clarinets and flutes.

Regular Thornhill arrangers included the saxophonist Gerry Mulligan and the classically influenced pianist Gil Evans. Miles Davis was also drawn into an experimental composing circle that regularly met in Evans’s New York apartment. The result was a series of Thornhill-like pieces arranged for a nine-piece band showcasing Davis’s fragile-sounding trumpet. The 1949 and 1950 sessions became immortalised as the Birth of the Cool recordings, though they then made little impact. Davis was the figurehead, but the playing was ensemble-based and Konitz’s plaintive, breathy alto saxophone already stood out, particularly on such drifting tone-poems as Moon Dreams.

Konitz maintained the relationship with Tristano until 1951, before going his own way with the trombonist Tyree Glenn, and then with the popular, advanced-swing Stan Kenton orchestra. Konitz’s delicacy inevitably toughened in the tumult of the Kenton sound, and the orchestra’s power jolted him out of Tristano’s favourite long, pale, minimally inflected lines into more fragmented, bop-like figures. But the saxophonist really preferred small-group improvisation. He began to lead his own bands, frequently with the pianist Ronnie Ball and the bassist Peter Ind, and sometimes with the guitarist Billy Bauer and the brilliant West Coast tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh.

In 1961 Konitz recorded the album Motion with John Coltrane’s drummer Elvin Jones and the bassist Sonny Dallas. Jones’s intensity and Konitz’s whimsical delicacy unexpectedly turned out to be a perfect match. Konitz also struck up the first of what were to be many significant European connections, touring the continent with the Austrian saxophonist Hans Koller and the Swedish saxophone player Lars Gullin. He drifted between playing and teaching when his studious avoidance of the musically obvious reduced his bookings, but he resumed working with Tristano and Marsh for some live dates in 1964, and played with the equally dedicated and serious Jim Hall, the thinking fan’s guitarist.

Konitz loved the duo format’s opportunities for intimate improvised conversation. Indifferent to commercial niceties, he delivered five versions of Alone Together on the 1967 album The Lee Konitz Duets, first exploring it unaccompanied and then with a variety of other halves including the vibraphonist Karl Berger. The saxophonist Joe Henderson and the trombonist Marshall Brown also found much common ground with Konitz in this setting. Konitz developed the idea on 1970s recordings with the pianist-bassist Red Mitchell and the pianist Hal Galper – fascinating exercises in linear melodic suppleness with the gently unobtrusive Galper; more harmonically taxing and wider-ranging sax adventures against Mitchell’s unbending chord frameworks.

Despite his interest in new departures, Konitz never entirely embraced the experimental avant garde, or rejected the lyrical possibilities of conventional tonality. But he became interested in the music of the pianist Paul Bley and his wife, the composer Carla Bley, and in 1987 participated in surprising experiments in totally free and non jazz-based improvisation with the British guitarist Derek Bailey and others.

Konitz also taught extensively – face to face, and via posted tapes to students around the world. Teaching was his refuge, and he often apparently preferred it to performance. In 1974 Konitz, working with Mitchell and the alto saxophonist Jackie McLean in Denmark, recorded a brilliant standards album, Jazz à Juan, with the pianist Martial Solal, the bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and the drummer Daniel Humair. That year, too, Konitz released the captivating, unaccompanied Lone-Lee with its spare and logical improvising, and a fitfully free-funky exploration with Davis’s bass-drums team of Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette.

In the 1980s, Konitz worked extensively with Solal and the pianist Michel Petrucciani, and made a fascinating album with a Swedish octet led by the pianist Lars Sjösten – in memory of the compositions of Gullin, some of which had originally been dedicated to Konitz from their collaborations in the 1950s. With the pianist Harold Danko, Konitz produced music of remarkable freshness, including the open, unpremeditated Wild As Springtime recorded in Glasgow in 1984. Sometimes performing as a duo, sometimes within quartets and quintets, the Konitz/Danko pairing was to become one of the most productive of Konitz’s musical relationships.

Still tirelessly revealing how much spontaneous material could be spun from the same tunes – Alone Together and George Russell’s Ezz-thetic were among his favourites – by the end of the 1980s Konitz was also broadening his options through the use of the soprano saxophone. His importance to European fans was confirmed in 1992 when he received the Danish Jazzpar prize. He spent the 1990s moving between conventional jazz, open-improvisation and cross-genre explorations, sometimes with chamber groups, string ensembles and full classical orchestras.

On a fine session in 1992 with players including the pianist Kenny Barron, Konitz confirmed how gracefully shapely yet completely free from romantic excess he could be on standards material. He worked with such comparably improv-devoted perfectionists as Paul Motian, Steve Swallow, John Abercrombie, Marc Johnson and Joey Baron late in that decade. In 2000 he showed how open to wider persuasions he remained when he joined the Axis String Quartet on a repertoire devoted to 20th-century French composers including Erik Satie, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.

In 2002 Konitz headlined the London jazz festival, opening the show by inviting the audience to collectively hum a single note while he blew five absorbing minutes of typically airy, variously reluctant and impetuous alto sax variations over it. The early 21st century also heralded a prolific sequence of recordings – including Live at Birdland with the pianist Brad Mehldau and some structurally intricate genre-bending with the saxophonist Ohad Talmor’s unorthodox lineups.

Pianist Richie Beirach’s duet with Konitz - untypically playing the soprano instrument - on the impromptu Universal Lament was a casually exquisite highlight of Knowing Lee (2011), an album that also compellingly contrasted Konitz’s gauzy sax sound with Dave Liebman’s grittier one.

Konitz was co-founder of the leaderless quartet Enfants Terribles (with Baron, the guitarist Bill Frisell and the bassist Gary Peacock) and recorded the standards-morphing album Live at the Blue Note (2012), which included a mischievous fusion of Cole Porter’s What Is This Thing Called Love? and Subconscious-Lee, the famous Konitz original he had composed for the same chord sequence. First Meeting: Live in London Vol 1 (2013) captured Konitz’s improv set in 2010 with the pianist Dan Tepfer, bassist Michael Janisch and drummer Jeff Williams, and at 2015’s Cheltenham Jazz Festival, the old master both played and softly sang in company with an empathic younger pioneer, the trumpeter Dave Douglas. Late that year, the 88-year-old scattered some characteristically pungent sax propositions and a few quirky scat vocals into the path of Barron’s trio on Frescalalto (2017).

Cologne’s accomplished WDR Big Band also invited Konitz (a resident in the German city for some years) to record new arrangements of his and Tristano’s music, and in 2018 his performance with the Brandenburg State Orchestra of Prisma, Gunter Buhles’s concerto for alto saxophone and full orchestra, was released. In senior years as in youth, Konitz kept on confirming Wheeler’s view that he was never happier than when he didn’t know what was coming next.

Konitz was married twice; he is survived by two sons, Josh and Paul, and three daughters, Rebecca, Stephanie and Karen, three grandchildren and a great-grandchild.

Kuldeep Yadav Shares Man of the Match Award with Teammate

Kuldeep Yadav Shares Man of the Match Award with Teammate

Delhi Capitals arrived at the Brabourne Stadium with a heavy heart for the encounter against Punjab Kings on Wednesday. The side was depleted as six members of the DC camp, including Mitchell Marsh and Tim Seifert, had tested positive for Covid-19. Even head coach Ricky Ponting has admitted that they weren’t well-prepared for the game. But when time demanded from Rishabh Pant & Co to exhibit…

IPL 2022- DC vs PBKS Prediction

The match between the Delhi Capitals and the Punjab Kings has been hit by a COVID outbreak and has been rescheduled to Mumbai from Pune. It will be played at the Brabourne Stadium providing all of the players scheduled to play the match test negative once more.

This means we could have more than a few players missing from the Delhi Capitals lineup. Mitchell Marsh is certainly going to be one of them. The Punjab Kings do not have such problems but they will also have to fly back on short notice and could be a bit tired ahead of the game.

The best IPL betting sites in India and abroad are all favoring the Punjab Kings to win this match but the odds are not as short as we expected.

Match prediction and IPL betting tips for DC vs PBKS IPL 2022. The match is going to be played at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on the 20th of April 2022.

DC VS PBKS TEAM PREVIEWS

DC suffered a pretty big loss to RCB in its previous match after being in the driver's seat for the majority of the chase. Interestingly, it was Mitchell Marsh who struggled to get the ball off the square in the previous match but he is not going to get a chance to redeem himself thanks to a COVID infection.

DC may go back to playing with just two or three overseas players for this match. They don't really have too many options remaining in their squad. Tim Seifert may get another chance or maybe Anrich Nortje is set for another go but neither of these players is a good replacement for Mitchell Marsh.

With Rovman Powell also having a terrible IPL season, DC is struggling for power and quality in its lineup.

This is going to put a lot of pressure on David Warner and Prithvi Shaw to do the bulk of the work at the top of the inning once more. Both of these players are in great form and stroking the ball nicely.

You can look to take advantage through the Highest Opening Partnership or highest Score 1st 6 Overs batting markets.

DC's batting lacks depth and its middle order is fragile. Early wickets could be devastating for it.

The bowling lineup is led by an army of left-handed bowlers. Khaleel Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel are all in the playing eleven at the same time. It is not really a concern since they all have a different style of bowling. Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed have been very good at picking wickets and betting on either one of these players for the Top Bowler betting market is worth serious consideration.

PUNJAB KINGS

PBKS played its previous match without Mayank Aggarwal but the expectation now is that he will be back in the playing eleven. That will strengthen the batting and allow someone like Shikhar Dhawan to play with a bit more freedom.

PBKS certainly has an in-form player in Liam Livingstone. He has been one of the most exciting players in IPL 2022 with runs, plenty of sixes, and a very high strike rate at all stages of the inning. Liam Livingstone is the player that you want to keep an eye on. A bet on him to be the Man of the Match or maybe the Top Batsman for PBKS could be a great option.

There are some concerns here as well. Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow have not set the IPL 2022 season alight just yet. The lower middle-order of Jitesh Sharma, Shahrukh Khan, and Odean Smith offers a lot of power but not too much stability.

PBKS has played an absolutely fearless brand of cricket so far. This means that it will come off spectacularly on some days and will completely fail on others. We think PBKS is due for a brilliant match but that is just a feeling!

DC VS PBKS TOSS PREDICTION

The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. Teams batting first have started to win quite regularly as well as the pitches start to wear a bit and the effect of the dew also becomes lesser.

PITCH AND CONDITIONS

The conditions in Mumbai have been brilliant for cricket. The Brabourne Stadium is very good for batting and we have generally seen high-scoring matches played here. There is also a bit of help for the new ball bowlers. Maybe someone like Rabada could extract something more than the other bowlers.

We think a score of around 170-180 is definitely on the cards batting first.

DC VS PBKS BETTING TIPS

We are going to bet on the Punjab Kings to win this match. The reason for this recommendation is quite simple. PBKS has won more matches, is in better recent form, and has a more powerful batting lineup. We have also seen players perform well against their former franchises so maybe Kagiso Rabada could continue that tradition!

Australia Blow Away New Zealand For Sixth World Cup Title 

T20 World Cup - Final - Australia vs New Zealand - Dubai 

Australia bagged their sixth World Cup in cricket that came in the form of the T20 championship by beating trans-Tasman neighbours New Zealand in the tournament's final that had very little by way of excitement and tension in Dubai on Sunday night.

With five previous World Cups in 50-over cricket, the Australians at last laid their hands on the 20-over World Cup as they chased down a 173 target and won with seven balls to spare with Mitchell Marsh declared player-of-the-match for an unbeaten 77 that batted New Zealand out of the contest.

There was nothing extraordinary that took place in the final apart from New Zealand's captain Kane Williamson top scoring with 85 that had 10 fours and three sixes when the chips were down and Marsh holding the Australian innings together with man-of-the-series David Warner (53) after skipper and opener Aaron Finch was out for 5 in the third over of the innings with the total at 15.

Warner in the process posted his third half century in the tournament as he slammed four balls to the boundary and sent three more balls out of the ground for sixes and starred in a 92-run stand for the second wicket with Marsh that proved to be the turning point in the match.

New Zealand's bowling plans took a severe beating that put the team in disarray as their spinner Ish Sodhi had one of his bad days on the field when he conceded 40 runs in just three overs while at the same time bowling three wide-balls that only made it easy for Australia.

Fast bowler Tim Southee also proved expensive as Australia plundered 43 runs off the 23 legal deliveries that were bowled while everything else fell on the shoulders of Trent Boult who gave away just 18 runs from his four overs while taking the wickets of Finch and Warner.

Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood played a similar role to what Boult did, but the difference was that he ended up on the winning side after taking three wickets for 16 runs off his four overs.

Hazlewood was the only bowler that New Zealand could not take any chances in attacking his spot-on deliveries unlike Mitchell Starc who was hit for 60 runs in his four overs with Williamson smashing 22 runs in one over bowled by him.

Scores: New Zealand 172 for 4 in 20 overs (Martin Guptill 28, Kane Williamson 85, Josh Hazlewood 3 for 16) Australia 173 for 2 in 18.1 overs (David Warner 53, Mitchell Marsh 77 not out, Glenn Maxwell 28 not out, Trent Boult 2 for 18)

Australia confirmed limited overs tour of England; Glenn Maxwell, Nathan Lyon recalled to Australian team | ViralHai News [ad_1]

The confirmation ensures that the Australians will pad for their first international matches in nearly six months, with Glenn Maxwell, Nathan Lyon and Marcus Stoinis recalled to the squad, while Usman Khawaja and Travis Head missed.

Australia was originally scheduled to play three one-day and three Twenty20 matches against England in July, but the trip was postponed due to a coronovirus epidemic.

Detailed biodiversity plans have now been agreed to ensure that it can proceed, including government exemptions, which are necessary for Australians to leave the country. The team has also agreed to self-quarantine for 14 days upon his return.

They depart Perth on 23 August to go to Derby ahead of four practice matches - three T20s and ODIs - before three T20s and three one-day internationals at Southampton and Old Trafford, which are at the hotel.

"We are very excited to move to England and return to the international arena," said Cricket Australia interim chief Nick Hawkley.

"We congratulate the England Cricket Board for restarting the game in a way that puts the health and safety of players and staff at its core."

His contrasting numbers at ECB Tom Harrison said that Australia owed "a significant debt of gratitude" to ensure that the tour went ahead.

"Their cooperation to ensure these matches is important for cricket in this country," he said. "It will also provide much needed financial support at all levels of cricket in England and Wales as we work through the challenges before us."

Australia named a 21-man team with Maxwell, Lyon and Stoinis as three of the notable announcements, along with Josh Phillip, Daniel Sames and Riley Meredith.

But there was no room for Head, Khwaja, Michael Naser, Ben McDermott or D'Arcy Short, who were named in an initial 26-man squad last month.

Coach Justin Langer said, "I am happy that the players have returned to their states from break break in March. The whole team has become stronger and stronger again, a great testament to each."

"We have a massive assignment with the World Cup, the Test series against India and South Africa and the Ashes to be held next year. We can't wait to get it back again."
