Cricket Teams & Players Highlights

Sylhet Strikers have pocketed every game they have played this season and continued their dominance against Dhaka Dominators as well on Monday. They trashed the Dominators by five wickets.

At BPL 2023 on January 13, Fortune Barishal make it two wins on the trot after easily dispatching Chattogram Challengers by 26 runs at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.

South Africa cricket has attained a 1-0 lead in the three-game ODI 2022 series against India cricket, winning the series opener by nine runs at the Ekana Sports City in Ardonamau. Batting first, South Africa Cricket accumulated 249/4 in the 40-over game whereas India cricket managed to reach 240/8 despite monstrous hitting in the late overs by Sanju Samson.

England cricket won the T20I 2022 series with a 4-3 win over Pakistan cricket in the seventh game of the T20I 2022. Moeen Ali’s men chased down the 170-run target with 5.3 overs in hand after the England cricket openers gave them momentum from the beginning.

The National Stadium Karachi witnessed one of the most nail-biting contests to have ever taken place in ICC T20I 2022 when the 4th Pakistan vs England contest was hosted at the venue on Sunday night. England is touring Pakistan for seven T20Is which seemed like a series too long, but critics won’t have to worry about its length if both sides continue to pull off such contests.

Afghanistan moved one step closer to their maiden international win over Pakistan ahead of the men's miraculous win in the final over at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Mohammad Nabi’s men posted a meager total of 129/6 but made the target an uphill task for the Pakistan cricket team batters to get.

India cricket was all over Pakistan cricket in the first 10 overs at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, but Babar Azam’s men walked away with the win in a nail-biting contest to avenge their first loss of the Asia Cup 2022. Pakistan cricket chased 182 with five wickets in hand and a ball to spare to make it 1-1 against India cricket in the tournament. This was Rohit Sharma’s first loss in the Asia Cup 2022 and to Pakistan as well in T20Is.

It is a do-or-die situation in the Asia Cup 2022 as the Pakistan cricket team takes on the Hong Kong cricket team in Group A. Both teams have lost their opening games to India and will now lock horns to decide the group runners-up. Is there a new Asian cricketing superpower in town? It seems like it with the way Afghanistan has been playing recently. It wasn’t long ago when Afghanistan was a cricket team that wasn’t taken seriously.

If you are still not over the intense game between India and Pakistan two days ago, you better prepare for another down-ticket rivalry of the Asia Cup. Bangladesh and Afghanistan have a history of nail-biting cricket encounter in the past and it adds to the taste of the incoming fixtures in this year’s Asia Cup.

Fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain will replace Shaheen Afridi in the upcoming Asia Cup 2022. The news of Mohammad Hasnain’s inclusion has come a couple of days after the left-arm fast bowler was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. Afridi sustained the injury during the test series against Sri Lanka in July. Due to the injury, the Lahore Qalandars man didn’t play the second Test against the Lankans and remained on the sideline despite traveling to the Netherlands.

It is a huge next few months for the Indian cricket team as they will be playing in the Asia Cup 2022 next week followed by the T20 ICC World in two months. Even though India Cricket Team have a clear identity in terms of their starting line-up, there could be a few players who can make a case for their inclusion. One of them is Shubman Gill.

It is safe to say that the next two months are extremely important for the Indian Cricket Team. The Blues, led by Rohit Sharma, is currently playing the away ODI series against Zimbabwe before flying to the UAE for the 2022 Asia Cup. As the India cricket team has a number of players coming back from injury and some key players missing, there are interesting times ahead for the 2007 T20 champions.

Sri Lanka cricket has found a gem in Prabath Jayasuriya and it looks like he is going to be the main man for their Test team in the coming months. For a Sri Lankan cricket that has produced numerous elite spinners in Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis, and Rangana Herath, Prabath Jayasuriya is yet another name that makes the list of top-class Sri Lankan cricket spinners.

After a decade or more of watching incompetent batsmen go in and out of the huddle, it seems like the tide is turning for Pakistani fans. After the retirement of Misbah Ul Haq and Younis Khan, the fans wondered whether they would be able to replace such batting talents ever again.

IPL 2022 emerged as another entertaining season in the history of this League. A total of 10 franchises played a total of 74 games among themselves. In the final, the new franchise Gujrat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets to claim the IPL trophy. Batting first, Gujarat Titans comfortably chased down the 131-run target set by RR in the first innings.

When Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli eventually call it a day to their stellar international careers, the focus will be on finding the next skipper for the Men in Blue. While Virat Kohli's captaincy days are probably behind him, Rohit Sharma is 35 years old now and probably has two to three years of cricket left in him. It might be time to look beyond these two giants of Indian cricket and find the next heir to the throne.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are struggling big time this IPL season. After losing their first two games, they bounced back brilliantly to win the next five but have now endured four losses in a row. This form has set them back in the playoff race, with the team languishing in 6th with 10 points.

Although he insists that he did not need any extra motivation, David Warner’s unbeaten knock of 92 not out against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) must have been particularly sweet for the Delhi Capital’s batter.
