On an action-packed Friday that produced the second most runs on a day of Test cricket in India, a single delivery might otherwise not have been the talking point had it not been the last ball of the day, and had it not accounted for one of India’s premier batters of all time. Rachin Ravindra, with his second Test century, and Tim Southee, batting with an authority and comfort not necessarily associated with a No. 9, seemed to have put the first Test beyond India’s reach at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Day Three of the first Test. Their eighth-wicket alliance of 137, at better than a run a ball, rallied New Zealand from a mini-collapse and propelled them to 402, a decisive first-innings lead of 356. Positive mindset India came out with a positive mindset, as they had to, given how far behind they were following their first-innings implosion. Skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal got them off to a cracker, putting on 72 when the latter perished to the left-arm spin of Ajaz Patel, charging down the track, missing an ambitious loft down the ground and being stumped by a mile. When Rohit fell a few overs later, bowled off bat and pad and body, India were in trouble at 95-2. Sarfaraz Khan, breezy outlook and attacking intent, and Virat Kohli, rediscovering some of his finest touch, not just steadied the ship, but got on top of the bowling, treating a big-sized crowd to a veritable feast of stroke-making. For a little over two overs, they drove the Kiwis ragged in adding 136 when Glenn Phillips bounded in to bowl the final delivery of a long day that produced 453 runs.

Almost in shock, Kohli opted for a review and replays confirmed that he had got a feather. The crowd collectively lost its voice, then stood as one to cheer the former captain, who had earlier in the evening become just the fourth Indian to top 9,000 Test runs. Decisive blow Kohli’s dismissal for 70, which left India at 231-3, still needing 125 to make the visitors bat again, could well be decisive. Even during that burgeoning alliance, New Zealand held most of the aces but now, they must believe they are on to a great thing despite India’s depth. It was their own depth that allowed the Kiwis to open up a massive lead after India worked their way through the middle order in the first 75 minutes of the third day. Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah took a wicket apiece in their opening bursts and Ravindra Jadeja struck twice in succession to reduce New Zealand, overnight 180-3, to 233-7 when Rachin and Southee took charge. Rachin was the early aggressor with beautiful strokes all round the wicket before Southee wielded the long handle to great effect. India’s bowling went to pieces, their woes best exemplified by a 20-run over from R Ashwin, the most expensive of his illustrious Test career. Brief scoresIndia 46 & 231-3 (S Khan 70*, V Kohli 70, R Sharma 52; A Patel 2-70) v NZ 402 (R Ravindra 134, D Conway 91, T Southee 65; R Jadeja 3-72, K Yadav 3-99, M Siraj 2-84)
19 October,2024 06:53 AM IST | Bangalore | R KaushikKuldeep Yadav on Friday said the pitch has started offering a bit of turn and placed faith on batters to build a sizeable lead in the second innings for Indian spinners to make an impact. India ended the third day of the first Test at 231-3, and still trail by 125 runs. “The spinners were getting some help when we were bowling, and hopefully, we will get more spin on Day 5. But for that, we need a good total to defend,” said Kuldeep in the post-day press meet. “Considering our bowling attack, we will be aiming at setting an effective target. We can’t predict a proper total right now as a lot of batting is still left for us,” he added. Also Read: Kohli enters elite ranks with Tendulkar, Dravid, and Gavaskar in Bengaluru Kuldeep hoped Sarfaraz Khan, who is batting on 70, will score some big runs on Saturday. “We all saw how he scored 200 during the Irani Cup. We’re hoping that he slams another here. Since he is playing for India, his technique does not matter as long as the runs keep coming. “However, he has a good technique against spinners and doesn’t let them settle down. I always feel that if a batter does not allow a spinner to settle down, he is a true batter. “The way he was counter-attacking the left-arm spinners forced them [New Zealand] to bring in the pacers,” said the left-arm wrist spinner, who grabbed three Kiwi wickets.

19 October,2024 06:49 AM IST | Bangalore | PTIThe South African teams, both men’s and women’s, have been labeled as chokers as they’ve been known to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory at World Cups. So, when South African women were required to get 135 for victory in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup against Australia, the skeptics wondered if the Proteas would be up for it. But what followed surprised even their ardent fans. The aggressive way they batted to chase down the target with eight wickets and 16 balls to spare warmed the cockles of many a heart present at the Dubai stadium. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt (42 off 37, 3x4 1x6) and Anneke Bosch (74 not out 48, 8x4, 1x6) ensured they sent six-time champions Australia packing for the first time in eight editions at the semi-final stage.

19 October,2024 06:48 AM IST | Dubai | Santosh SuriNew Zealand defeated West Indies by eight runs to reach the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup final at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday. Despite Deandre Dottin’s fiery spell which left New Zealand struggling with the bat but the Sophie Devine-led side fought back valiantly to secure a trip to the final in a low-scoring thriller on the backs of impressive bowling performances by Eden Carson and Amelia Kerr. Batting first, Suzie Bates (26) and Georgia Plimmer (33), who scored the side's only six, got New Zealand off to a decent start with a 48-run opening stand which was broken by Karishma Ramharack as she cleaned the wicket of Bates. Amelia Kerr failed to convert the start and gain the advantage as she was caught off Dottins' delivery in the 12th over. West Indies gained control over the game five deliveries later when Plimmer was caught off Afy Fletcher's delivery. Brooke Halliday's (18) attempts to get going, in an innings in which she scored two boundaries, were stopped dead in their tracks as the left-handed batter's wickets were castled by Dottin. Also Read: Women's cricket in Asia struggles to match Western standards West Indies went on to reduce the Kiwis to 98/5 three deliveries later as Fletcher got the important scalp of captain Sophie Devine (12) in the 15th over. Dottin continued her impressive spell as she removed the wickets of Maddy Green (3) and Rosemary Mair (2) in the 17th over. A quickfire innings of 20 not out by wicket-keeper Isabella Gaze took New Zealand past the 100-run mark before the wickets of Lea Tahuhu (6) and Eden Carson (0) fell on the penultimate delivery of the match. With A single on the last ball, Gaze helped New Zealand post 128/9. Despite the low score, New Zealand took the fight to the West Indies batters from the first ball and with wickets at regular intervals, the side from the Caribbean never found their footing. Qiana Joseph (12) was the first to depart in the third over the game when her wicket was castled by Carson. The right-handed bowler continued her onslaught and removed Shemaine Campbelle (3) to put the pressure on their opponents. Carson then picked up her third scalp of the night with Stafanie Taylor’s wicket. With captain Hayley Matthews (15) and Aaliyah Alleyne’s (4) departure, Dottin continued her star performance and scored a valiant 33 off 22 balls, in an innings with three sixes, and gave her side a fighting chance. Afy Fletcher’s 17 not out and Zaida James’s 14 run contribution took the side to within 15 runs in the final over. Suzie took on the pressure and bowled the ultimate over, her first time bowling in a T20I game since March, conceding only six runs off it to lead the side to the final due to be played against South Africa on Sunday. Carson was named the player of the match and gave an emotional post game interview in tears. “As you can see, I'm really emotional but really proud of the girls. When Deandra Dottin was pumping us, the girls just believed and stuck it out and we got over the line. We really had to defend another low total, below-par, had to get early wickets against West Indies, they are a dangerous side. We saw how the West Indies bowled, they bowled a bit more back-of-a-length and it worked, we bowled a bit full, it's alright,” she said. Brief ScoresNew Zealand-W 128/9 ( 26 (28), 33 (31); Deandra Dottin 4/22) defeated West Indies-W 120/8 (Deandra Dottin 33 (22); Eden Zarson 3/29) by eight runs.

19 October,2024 06:45 AM IST | Sharjah | IANSCaptain Shan Masood hailed Pakistan’s second Test win over England in Multan on Friday as a “relief” but warned his team’s dire recent record would take a long time to turn around. Pakistan spinner Noman Ali grabbed 8-46 and Sajid Khan took 2-93 as the pair wrapped up England’s second innings for 144 after the visitors were set a daunting target of 297. The 152-run victory was Pakistan’s first home win since February 2021 and came after they were thumped by an innings in the first Test on the same Multan pitch. “This was a very important win for Pakistan cricket. The recent results were unacceptable. There is relief, whether you ask cricketers or fans,” said Masood. “We were hurt after recent results and wanted a positive result, which has come here,” he said. “We need to carry this forward because things will not change overnight.” Also Read: Comedy of errors!

Pakistan’s last Test win at home came against South Africa in Rawalpindi more than three years ago. It was followed by 11 home Tests without a win. Friday’s victory is the first for Masood in his six Tests since being appointed captain last year.

19 October,2024 06:44 AM IST | Multan | AFPNew Zealand's rising star Rachin Ravindra was relieved after his side managed to claim the wicket of Virat Kohli on the final ball of the third day. He further hopes that the bowlers will continue to pile up the pressure on India. Virat Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan stitched a partnership of 136 runs for the third wicket to guide India to 231 runs at stumps on day three. Later, Kohli edged a Glenn Phillips delivery which was caught by Tom Blundell behind the stumps. "It's pretty hard to crystal-ball gaze into the future. It's a quality batting line-up on a wicket that's not doing too much, so it's important for us to hold our lines and lengths and do that for long periods. But I think Kohli's wicket at the end was very important," Rachin Ravindra told reporters during the post-day press meet. "Obviously, he's a guy who has scored 9,000-plus Test runs, which is pretty mind-blowing, but for us it was a huge wicket. We know things happen quickly in this part of the world, so, hopefully, we can stick at it and get a few wickets in the morning," he added. New Zealand are still ahead by 125 runs, and Rachin Ravindra played his own part in that by cracking his second Test hundred, a classy 134. Also Read: PCB not willing to move Champions Trophy 2025 final out of Lahore Rachin Ravindra also said that pre-tour training at the Chennai Super Kings academy has helped him vastly. "It was an extremely invaluable experience. Before the six Tests in subcontinent, I thought maybe it would be the best thing for me to go and have a few days training there. A bit more realistic conditions than what we'd -- doctored, used wickets -- in New Zealand, which, you know, wouldn't serve the same purpose." "The CSK guys really sorted me out and I was able to have four or five days really good training on red soil and black soil wickets. So, that helped me shore up game plans and work on a few positions that I wanted to," he detailed. Rachin Ravindra scored his second century in Bengaluru with his first coming during the ODI World Cup 2023 against Pakistan. But this time, the occasion was dearer to him because of the presence of his family, including his father, Ravi Krishnamoorthy. "Obviously, having my dad in the crowd is massive. A lot of family who are watching the game, probably at the stadium and then at home on TV. I know they're very, very proud and it makes me happy. I know dad and mum would be very, very proud of that. "Me being able to play in their hometown where they grew up is pretty special. Like I always say, I'm fully Kiwi, 100% Kiwi, but it's nice to have that Indian heritage base here in Bengaluru," he noted. Ravindra was also pleased with his fine effort against the dreaded India spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja along with left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. "Kuldeep, Ashwin, Jadeja, obviously three guys have taken a lot of Test wickets between them. I think it's a balance of attack and defence, but I think mainly if you can trust your defence, you can do that for a long period of time." "Having Timmy (Southee) out there was great too. We were able to build a nice little partnership and frustrate them a little bit. But yeah, I guess it was just having that positive mindset. "I don't know how many balls, maybe 50, 60, 70 balls were sort of ticking along. And then once we decided, all right, let's show some intent here, I was able to open up the ground a little bit more. "And obviously it's a ground where you can score quite quickly, right? Shortish boundaries, fast outfield, pretty good wicket to bat on," he added. (With PTI Inputs)
18 October,2024 10:32 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentThe Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is prepared for India's refusal to travel to the country for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, but it won't move the final match from Lahore to any other venue even if the "Men in Blue" qualify for the title clash. The PCB's stance on hosting the final is up for debate when the International Cricket Council (ICC) Board members meet in Dubai from October 18 to 21. "The PCB's first choice and priority is to host entire Champions Trophy in Pakistan and they are counting on this but internally the Board is also mentally prepared to hear about the Indian government not allowing its team to play in Pakistan and India's matches being held in UAE," a PCB source said. "But the PCB has decided even in the event of India not playing in Pakistan they want the final to be held in Lahore. Even if India qualifies for the final the PCB wants the ICC to hold the match at the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore," the source said. The arch-rivals, India and Pakistan have not played a single bilateral series since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which many people lost their lives. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) might request ICC to conduct the Champions Trophy 2025 in a hybrid mode and schedule their matches either in Sri Lanka or Dubai. Also Read: VVS Laxman hails Rohit for taking ownership of making wrong decision after toss Gaddafi hosted the final of the 1996 World Cup. The seating capacity at the stadium is being increased. The source claimed that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer will be submitting details of the costs the PCB is bearing to renovate and upgrade the stadiums in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore for the Champions Trophy 2025. "They will submit the details including the highest budget of around 7 billion earmarked for renovation work at the stadium in Lahore," the source added. The source further said that Mohsin Naqvi will try to make it clear that even if India is not willing to play the entire tournament in Pakistan, they must play the title clash in Lahore if they manage to seal the final berth. "All this talk that the ICC Champions Trophy might be altogether moved to another location has also bothered the PCB and they will discuss this as Naqvi is adamant that Pakistan will host the event", he added. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) senior officials ruffled feathers in the PCB with a statement this week that moving the tournament out of Pakistan was an option available to the ICC and its members. The source said that the PCB is expecting to get some sort of viable answer from the BCCI officials at the coming meeting on the progress they have made (if any) on seeking clearance from their government to send their team to Pakistan early next year for the tournament. PCB officials will present detailed updates on the preparations for the tournament and the progress made on construction projects. Pakistan has been placed in Group A alongside India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand for the Champions Trophy 2025 and the PCB has proposed holding all of India's games in Lahore. Lahore is set to host seven matches, including the final. Karachi will stage the opening match and a semi-final, while Rawalpindi will host five matches, including the other semi-final.

18 October,2024 09:36 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentFormer Team India cricketer and NCA head VVS Laxman hailed skipper Rohit Sharma for taking ownership of the wrong call at the toss for the first Test match against New Zealand. Rohit Sharma opted to bat first after winning the toss which turned out to be a horrifying decision for the hosts. Batting first they were bowled out for just 46 runs, which is their lowest-ever Test total at home. After the end of that day's play, Rohit Sharma accepted in front of the media that he made a mistake in reading the pitch of the M. Chinnaswamy stadium. "For leaders, it's humanly impossible not to make mistakes. We won the toss and we elected to bat first and it was counterproductive (because) we were bowled out for 46," VVS Laxman told a gathering at the Security Now 2024 conference by Seclore here. "Who went to the press conference? It was Rohit Sharma. He accepted that 'yes, I misread the wicket'. Leaders take that ownership of (their) decisions." "It's not necessary that every time the decisions are right, but you take the ownership and then whenever the team doesn't do well, you go and face the flak. Whenever the team does well, you promote the guy who actually requires that recognition and that limelight," he added. Also Read: Tests: Fastest Indian batsmen to score 9,000 runs While citing preparations and having a roadmap as important elements for success, Laxman said great leaders are the best performers in any team and Rohit has done a "phenomenal job" with this Indian team. "Great leaders are the best performers in a particular team, (a) classical example is Rohit Sharma. What he has done, the way he's leading the Indian team, is just phenomenal," Laxman said. "He (has) told (his teammates) that, 'okay, this is the style of cricket I want our team to play', and he's going out and doing that, (the) selfless style of batting and playing the game." "In the bargain, that can (also) impact and affect his performance. But he's making that decision and that bold statement saying 'I'll back you as long as you go out and play the brand I want our Indian team to play'," he said. VVS Laxman said he was confident that the hosts would pull the match in their favour just before Virat Kohli's dismissal. "I know Sarfaraz (Khan) is batting well and I think Virat (Kohli) is there," Laxman said shortly before Kohli was eventually dismissed. "We believe; when I say we, you know, whether it's me or former players or Gautam (Gambhir) as the head coach, or Rohit as a captain, everyone who's playing for the country is capable of creating magic." "I can tell with a lot of conviction that everyone (batters) will go out with only one thought, one frame of mind, which is (that) 'can I contribute to the country, can I go out and just give 100-150 runs for my bowlers'. "And if my (India) bowlers get 150 runs, take it from me that we can win this Test match," Laxman said. The former batter is banking on the Indian spinners to do their magic in the fourth innings. "The ball is turning and gripping and we (have) got three wonderful, world class spinners. Whoever is going out to bat, they will go with that mindset," he added. Laxman further backed Sarfaraz Khan for believing in his strength. "Sarfaraz, just before coming here, I saw (him hit) a beautiful six over point. When you're in a pressure situation, when you are facing an impossible task, can you trust your strengths?" he said. "Sarfaraz, Yashasvi (Jaiswal) and Rohit played their natural game. Now the end result (is something that) no one can predict, but can the approach and can the frame of mind and mindset be predicted, yes. Because that's in your control and I can tell that everyone will go out with that kind of positive mindset," VVS Laxman said. (With PTI Inputs)
18 October,2024 08:02 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentBatting maestro Virat Kohli became the fourth Indian to cross 9000 runs in Test cricket, scaling another peak in a glorious career during the third day of the IND vs NZ 1st Test on Friday. Kohli joined an august company featuring Sachin Tendulkar (15921), Rahul Dravid (13265), and Sunil Gavaskar (10122). However, he is the slowest among them to reach this landmark, having taken 197 innings. The 35-year-old Kohli reached the mark after crossing his half-century in India's second innings. Batting at No. 3, Kohli fell for a nine-ball duck in the first innings as India were all out for 46. In the recent Test series against Bangladesh, Kohli became the quickest batter to complete 27,000 international runs in only 594 innings. Also Read: KL Rahul-Dhruv Jurel highly likely to enter IPL 2025 mega auction, say sources Meanwhile, Kohli teamed up with Sarfaraz Khan to lead India's fight back with combative half-centuries after skipper Rohit Sharma set the platform with his 52-run knock as the hosts ended day three at 231 for three. Resuming the day on 180 for three, New Zealand posted 402 on the board for a massive 356-run first-innings lead with Rachin Ravindra (134) conjuring up a majestic century. India, who were bowled out for a mere 46 in the first essay, made a confident start to their second innings with skipper Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal (35) producing a 72-run stand for the opening wicket. Brief Scores: India: 46 all out and 231 for 3 in 49 overs (Sarfaraz Khan 70 batting, Virat Kohli 70, Rohit Sharma 52; Ajaz Patel 2/70). New Zealand 1st innings: 402 in 91.3 overs (Devon Conway 91, Rachin Ravindra 134, Tim Southee 65; Mohammed Siraj 2/84, Kuldeep Yadav 3/99, Ravindra Jadeja 3/72)
18 October,2024 05:49 PM IST | Bengaluru | mid-day online correspondentPakistan Test captain Shan Masood praised Kamran Ghulam for making the most of the opportunity by smashing a century in between the trolls from the fans for replacing Babar Azam. Kamran Ghulam was one of the names which were discussed after Pakistan's historic victory. He certainly had his say in ending Pakistan's first Test win at home since February 2021. But the journey wasn't easy for him. Pakistan's think tank took everyone by surprise after they dropped Babar Azam from the squad for the remaining two Test matches against England. Ghulam was handed his maiden Test cap and placed to fill Babar's position as Pakistan hunted to level down the series. The batting all-rounder was at the receiving end of criticism from some sections of fans before and during the Test. Also Read: "I feel Rohit's reflexes have gone slightly weak": Basit Ali Despite a tough time, the 29-year-old showed grit and resilience against a fierce English bowling line-up to keep Pakistan in the thick of the action. With an array of shots, he kept the opposition on their toes and smashed 118 off 124 deliveries. Impressed by Kamran Ghulam's century, Shan Masood said that filling Babar's shoes was not going to be easy. "For Kami (Kamran Ghulam), it's never easy. When you are replacing one of the best batters in the world. I read some things that were horrid even before he played his first Test match. I can't even imagine the pressure that someone can be under. But we were all behind him. From the get-go, he seemed like he belonged. To get that century, that's special," Shan Masood said in the post-match presentation. While Ghulam's knock set the tone of the Test for Pakistan, it was Noman Ali and Sajid Khan who dictated the outcome with their spin prowess. The duo took all 20 wickets in the second Test, leaving England completely baffled in the process. While Sajid starred with his figures of 7/111 in the first innings, the plaudits belonged to Noman in the second innings for his splendid effort of 8/46. With a 125-run victory, Pakistan levelled the series at 1-1, taking the series decider to Rawalpindi, beginning on October 24. (With ANI Inputs)
18 October,2024 03:50 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentNew Zealand pacer William O'Rourke feels that he was fortunate to take Virat Kohli's dismissal on the ball which was going down the leg in the first Test against India on Thursday. Kohli departed on a nine-ball duck as he edged the ball which was taken by Glenn Phillips at the leg gully on the second day in Bengaluru. India had an abysmal outing in the first innings under overcast conditions as they were bowled out for just 46 runs, their lowest-ever Test score at home and their third-lowest in history. "I think just with my angle back in, having that leg gully in place was meant to bring him into play. It was obviously an attacking option for us. We were fortunate to get the wicket. I don’t think that was exactly the delivery I intended, but it worked and I got his wicket, so I’m happy about it," O'Rourke told JioCinema. The weather conditions and moisture on the pitch supported Kiwi seamers and O'Rourke said he felt like playing at home. "Very similar to the conditions back home. I think we weren't expecting too much assistance in the morning. We were probably going to bat as well if we won the toss. So, it was nice to see the ball nipping around, and I could just run in and do my thing," the pacer said. "I think we were excellent in the field today. A few diving chances and I think that's what we pride ourselves on. We probably haven't been as good as we wanted to be in the last few Tests. So, coming out here and putting on a show like that was really special," he added. Also Read: India 57/0 at tea, trail by 299 runs after Ravindra ton takes NZ to 402 Playing for the first time in India, O'Rourke returned with the figures of 4-22 in his 12 overs and credited the Sri Lanka series for getting a sense of the subcontinental conditions. "It’s my first time playing in the subcontinent so it’s obviously a little bit different from back home, but playing those first two Tests in Sri Lanka really helped prepare me to come out here and just focus on doing my own thing," he said. After dismissing India for a dismal total, the visitors ended day two on 180 for 3, leading by 134 runs. Devon Conway was the standout for the visitors, scoring 91 runs, while Will Young contributed 33. Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja bagged one scalp each but India face an uphill task to recover from their nightmare start in the series opener.
