Justin Greaves: Roston Chase was named Player of the Match

Roston Chase was named Player of the Match in the second ODI for his stellar performance with both bat and bowl. In the post-match presentation, Chase said, “Happy with the win, today we had to level the series. It was a bit difficult to start with the spinners. It was also easy to score against the fast bowlers. I love playing shots over extra cover. When he (Greaves) came to the field, I told him that there is still time and once you are set, it will be easy to score runs. I just wanted to score runs and take a wicket for the captain.”

What did both the captains have to say?

Mohammad Rizwan Siyad said, “It was a good effort, the pitch was difficult till the end. The way Rutherford bowled, he got full momentum. We may feel that we have one bowler less, but Saim and Salman are bowling regularly for us and bowling well. We will check the conditions tomorrow and decide on the team combination.”

Winning captain Shai Hope said, “We wanted to come back after the defeat, we wanted to perform better and are happy with today’s win. On the chase, Hope said, he is a great player, he is doing some great things in the ODI format, and is constantly getting better. It was a bit difficult to bat. Sherfane gave us momentum and then Chase and Greaves ensured victory for us.” The decisive third match of the series will be played on Tuesday.

World Cup: ICC Men’s U19 Cricket World Cup Americas Qualifier 2025 An amazing one-sided match was seen between Canada and Argentina. Canada Under-19 defeated Argentina Under-19 in the ICC Men’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup Americas Qualifier 2025. Canada Under-19 defeated Argentina Under-19 by 10 wickets in the fourth match of the Under-19 Cricket World Cup Americas Qualifier at the ICC in Georgia on Sunday.

World Cup: You must have often seen many one-sided matches on the cricket field, but this time we got to see a match that no one would have even expected. This match took place between Canada and Argentina. Canada Under-19 defeated Argentina Under-19 in the ICC Men’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup Americas Qualifier 2025.

Canada Under-19 defeated Argentina Under-19 by 10 wickets in the fourth match of the Under-19 Cricket World Cup America Qualifier at ICC in Georgia on Sunday. Canada won this 50-over match in just 5 balls.

Team all out for 23 runs

Argentina won the toss and chose to bat first at Paramveer Sports Complex (Ground 2). The team was all out for 23 runs in 19.4 overs. The innings never recovered from the initial setbacks and no batsman could reach double figures. Seven batsmen were out without scoring any runs.

On the other hand, 7 runs were scored from extras. Which was their highest contribution in the innings. Fast bowler Jagmandeep Paul bowled a brilliant spell. He took six wickets for seven runs in 5 overs. Paul bowled 3 maiden overs. Other bowlers also supported him well.

24 runs were needed for victory

Canada team needed 24 runs to win. The team also did not delay in winning the match. Opener Dharam Patel took a run on the first ball of the innings, after which captain Yuvraj Samra hit two fours and two sixes on the next four balls of Franz Boor. Boor also gave three wides in this over, due to which Canada achieved the target with 49.1 overs and 295 balls to spare.

The record could have been broken

This match did not get the status of Youth ODI. If it was an official Youth ODI, it would have challenged the record of the fastest run chase in terms of overs remaining. This record is currently held by Australia Under-19, who chased Scotland’s 22 runs in 3.5 overs in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup.

Canada in strong position

Canada is in a strong position in the America Qualifier. This competition includes Argentina, Bermuda, Canada and hosts America. Each team will play each other twice in a double round-robin format. The top-finishing team will secure the Americas region’s only spot at the 2026 ICC Men’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup.

Reports: Axar Patel may lose vice-captaincy before Asia Cup 2025

By Mahi / August 12, 2025

Axar Patel: Shubman Gill can become vice-captain.

Axar Patel was appointed India’s vice-captain for the five-match T20 series against England earlier this year. He was rewarded for his consistent performance in the shortest format of the game. The Gujarat all-rounder did not show much with the bat, but he did well with the ball and took six wickets in five matches at an average of 16.50.

Axar impressed both fans and critics with his leadership in the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League. The 31-year-old captained the Delhi Capitals commendably but could not take the team to the playoffs.

Shubman Gill can be made vice-captain

However, despite his good performance as a captain, Axar is reportedly on the verge of losing his vice-captain position in the Indian T20 team. According to a report by RevSportz, Shubman Gill could be made the vice-captain of the Indian T20 team for the upcoming Asia Cup, which will be played in the UAE from September 9 to September 28.

Shubman recently captained India in the five-match Test series against England. The Punjab batsman was the highest run-scorer in the series with 754 runs in 10 innings at an average of 75.40. India performed brilliantly to level the series 2-2.

Axar Patel: Plenty of competition in the Indian team

Interestingly, Shubman has not played any T20 international cricket since July 2024. He has scored 578 runs in 21 T20 internationals at an average of 30.42 and a strike rate of 139.28. Shubman’s return to the team could put Abhishek Sharma’s place in the top order at risk.

Sanju Samson is expected to play as a wicketkeeper-batsman and open the innings. Shubman Gill, who opened the IPL, may also join him in the top order. This may put Abhishek, who was the highest run-scorer in the five-match series against England, out of the race. Yashasvi Jaiswal is also in the race to make it to the team, and this may increase the difficulties for Abhishek.

Ricky Ponting: I love England’s “Badgeball”

Ricky Ponting: The five-match Ashes series is scheduled to begin in November this year.

Former Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting has released a list of English cricketers who will play a key role for his team for the upcoming Australia tour. The five-match series is scheduled to begin in November later this year. Ponting also admitted that despite being an Australian, he is a fan of Badgeball.

Table of Contents

• England’s top order has to play well: Ricky Ponting

Ricky Ponting: “When it first started, it seemed like Root had changed his game, but he started playing like before again. Ollie Pope is naturally aggressive and scores runs quickly. Stokes’ strike rate is probably the lowest since the beginning, while Duckett and Crawley are at the forefront. This team will probably play a key role in Australia,” Ponting was quoted as saying by The Times.

England’s top order has to play well: Ricky Ponting

He further said, “If they can bat well in the top order and settle things, it will give them a good chance in the series. England naturally plays like this, and it settles everything for them, which immediately puts pressure on the bowlers. You have to adjust very quickly.”

Ponting said, “I am just like any other Australian and I love watching them play. The last time they came here, the Australian team adopted it and learned about it. Now they will understand that this is a slightly better version of what England started a few years ago.”

England last won the Ashes in Australia in the 2010/11 season. Since that 1-3 win, England have failed to win any Test series in Australia. The 2023-25 World Test Championship runners-up will try to maintain that record in the upcoming series.

Michael Clarke: ‘Any team he is in will be a better team’ – Clarke on Jasprit Bumrah

Michael Clarke: India won two Test matches against England without Bumrah’s presence.

Michael Clarke: Due to the workload management of the Indian team, Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was able to play only three Test matches in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which meant that Bumrah was unable to play an entire Test series in England for the first time in his career.

• Michael Clarke said on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast
• Siraj plays well under pressure: Clarke

Michael Clarke: Bumrah, who took 32 wickets in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year and was the highest wicket-taker in the series, suffered a back injury during the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney and the Indian team management is paying a lot of attention to his workload management after his recovery. Former Australian captain Michael Clarke has told that he believes that any team with Bumrah will be a ‘better team’.

Michael Clarke said on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast

Michael Clarke: It is worth noting that India had won both the Tests against England without Bumrah’s presence in the playing XI. Clarke lauded the visiting team’s efforts to level the series with a thrilling six-run win at the Oval.

“Winning the last match and levelling the series. Wow! Amazing, absolutely brilliant. And the other thing too. The two Test matches that India won, the best bowler in the world Jasprit Bumrah did not play in them.” Clarke said on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast.

“A lot of credit goes to the other bowlers in the Indian team, for their improved performance. And I believe, and I don’t think anyone would say anything else, any team with Bumrah is a better team. But to win those two matches without him, a lot of credit should be given to that bowling attack,” Clarke added.

Siraj plays well under pressure: Clarke

“I think whenever Bumrah is not on the field, Siraj’s mindset and attitude is ‘I have to stand up’. When the team is under pressure, he wants to take the ball in his hands. I think when there are more expectations and pressure from him, he is a better bowler. I think he thoroughly enjoys his role in the team,” he said

Rishabh Pant: Dhoni has not scored a single century abroad in Test cricket.

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has recently described Rishabh Pant as the country’s best Test wicketkeeper-batsman so far. However, Chopra also admitted that Pant is still far behind Dhoni in terms of runs in Test cricket, but he has surpassed Dhoni in terms of most centuries in Test cricket while playing 43 less than him.

• Aakash Chopra made a big statement
• Pant injured on England tour

It is worth noting that Pant has scored a total of 3427 runs in 47 Test matches played till the time of writing the news at an average of 44.50. During this, 8 centuries have also come off Pant’s bat. So, in the recently concluded five-match Test series against England, Pant scored a total of 479 runs at an excellent average of 68.42.

Aakash Chopra made a big statement

Let us tell you that through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel recently, Aakash Chopra said- MS Dhoni is at the top in terms of number of Test matches played and runs scored. He has played 90 matches, 144 innings and scored 4876 runs at an average of 38.09 and has six centuries to his name. Rishabh Pant has scored six centuries in the last five years.

Chopra further said- If we look at the overall total, Rishabh Pant has already scored eight centuries and MS Dhoni had scored six centuries. Rishabh Pant is already in second place (in terms of number of runs). He is 1400 runs behind MS Dhoni and has played almost half the matches. If he plays more, he will definitely overtake MS Dhoni. And will join the list of India’s all-time best wicketkeeper batsman.

Pant injured on England tour

Also for your information, let us tell you that Rishabh Pant was injured while playing a reverse sweep against Chris Woakes in the last Test match played against England at Kennington Oval. Pant suffered a serious leg injury. He is currently recovering, and his playing in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 seems doubtful.

Waqar Younis’s big statement on comparison of Jaspreet Bumrah with Wasim Akram, said ‘He is better than all of us…’

In the eyes of Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler Waqar Younis, Jaspreet Bumrah is the best bowler in the world right now, let us tell you about this news in detail

Table of Contents

• Waqar Younis called Bumrah the best bowler

Waqar Younis: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra revealed that in the eyes of Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler Waqar Younis, Jaspreet Bumrah is the best bowler in the world right now. In the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Bumrah took 14 wickets in just three matches, due to which Waqar was very impressed.

Waqar Younis called Bumrah the best bowler

Chopra said that during the car journey, he jokingly asked Younis, “The whole world salutes Wasim Akram for his talent and control, because there was no better fast bowler than him in his time. Now when we talk about today’s time, is Jasprit Bumrah like India’s right-handed Wasim Akram?” To this Waqar replied – “No, he is the best of us. No one in our age had such a thinking level, but Bumrah’s art and thinking are both better. He is the best fast bowler the world has ever seen.”

Chopra also said that Bumrah faced a lot of criticism due to workload management, as he played only 3 matches in the series to protect himself from injury. He further said that once there was a debate in India that the team cannot get a better captain than Bumrah. At that time questions arose whether bowlers can become captains, because Bumrah captained the Perth Test in Rohit’s absence and led India to victory.

Chopra said that now times and circumstances have changed. Where it started with a lot of praise, now people criticize him and even troll him. People say that when he plays, the team loses and he does not take any responsibility. Chopra described Bumrah as the best bowler and said, “If according to workload management he has to play only important matches, then it keeps his fitness intact.”

IPL 2025: ‘He is 14 years old?’ – Ashwin, Samson impressed with Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s debut season

By Mahi / August 11, 2025

Suryavanshi scored at a strike rate of 206.55 in seven matches in his first IPL season.

Sanju Samson: Ravichandran Ashwin and Sanju Samson have admitted how stunned they were when they first saw Vaibhav Suryavanshi bat in his first Indian Premier League season. Suryavanshi slammed a strike rate of 206.55 in seven matches he played for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025.

He also scored his first century in IPL 2025 and became the youngest batsman to do so. The innings also set the record for the second-fastest century in the history of the league, surpassing Yusuf Pathan, who had earlier achieved the feat for the same franchise.

The quality of the shots also really surprised me: Samson

“I saw him hit a six off one ball. So I thought it would be a lucky shot, but it kept going. The quality of the shots also really surprised me,” Samson told Ashwin on Kutty Stories with Ash.

The video shared below is of the moment Suryavanshi broke several records to score his maiden IPL century. Rajasthan Royals chased down a target of 210 runs and won by eight wickets with 25 balls to spare. Of these, 101 runs were scored by the 14-year-old left-handed batsman.

Ashwin also praised

Ashwin said, “It is not about his batting. I bowled a ball from around the stumps. He hit it towards the covers, and then I bowled a slow ball to see if he would be able to hit a big shot. But he just waited for the ball and shouted loudly for a run towards mid-on. I was thinking, what a thing, where has this boy come from, and he is 14 years old. I made my IPL debut 18 years ago.”

Suryavanshi, who recently played for India’s Under-19 team on the England tour, looked in very good form in the 50-over matches. In the five-match series, he scored 48, 45, 86, 143 and 33 runs. Now he will be seen on the Australia tour with the Under-19 team captained by Ayush Mhatre.

Fast bowler Yash Dayal, who was recently embroiled in a serious legal case, is now facing the threat of arrest after being accused of sexually assaulting a minor. After a case was registered against him at the Sanganer Sadar police station in Jaipur, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association has banned him from participating in the upcoming UP T20 League.

• What is the whole case?

The left-arm pacer was part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team that won the Indian Premier League 2025 title. He performed brilliantly throughout the season, taking 13 wickets in 15 matches. However, these allegations have cast doubts over his future in professional cricket.

Yash Dayal was bought by Gorakhpur Lions for Rs seven lakh

According to a Dainik Jagran report, due to the recent observations of the court in the sexual assault case, Dayal will not play for Gorakhpur Lions in the upcoming season.

Talking about the UPT20 league, it is starting from August 17 and Dayal was bought by Gorakhpur Lions for Rs seven lakh. Meanwhile, the Lions said that the UPCA authorities are yet to issue any official order and they will wait for confirmation before taking any action.

What is the whole case?

On June 21, a woman filed a complaint against Yash Dayal accusing him of cheating in a relationship that lasted five years. She claimed that the RCB pacer had promised to marry her but reneged, causing her emotional and physical trauma. The woman accused Dayal of sexual assault and recently filed an FIR against the 27-year-old Dayal.

Recently, another girl in Jaipur filed a fresh FIR accusing Dayal of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. The 17-year-old girl claimed that she was emotionally blackmailed and tortured for two years by promising help in starting a cricket career.
