Why is Virat getting angry and swearing at other batsmen?

I thought his behavior had improved all these years but no, he's the same.

Anyone following the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup? India have won all of their group matches (4 out of 4), which is a great achievement for them (given the low profile of the women's team in India). In Group B, South Africa has won 3 out of 3, with one match against West Indies remaining. If South Africa wins that match, then India's opponents in Semi finals will be England.

Yeah, I got a notification that they are in the semis defeating NZ and was thinking it was about the test match but it was about the W-T20. England and SA both seem to be very tough comparing their scores and NRR.

India vs NZ 2nd test

Innings 1

Although innings 1 was low scoring it was entertaining as both teams scored almost equal runs . At the end of day 1 , it looked like it was a one sided match but Indian bowlers did well to get the team back into the match .

Innings 2

Nothing went wrong for the New Zealand  in the 2nd innings , the bowlers especially Boult was brilliant . They had no problems with chasing the small total too. Many predicted that if India posted 150+ then it might be a close match but I think NZ would have chased even 200 comfortably.


Player of the series - Southee , deservedly so .

Player of the match - Jamieson , because he took 5 wickets in first innings and also score well with the bat.

Overall it wasn't that interesting , NZ looked more comfortable than India throughout .

It is called dominance from the New Zealand team and India was not able to carry forward their home dominance outside the subcontinent, the bowlers played better but if the batsman could have done any better then they would have been competitive. Southee, Boult and Jamieson dominated the Indian players and they never had an answer throughout the series apart from T20.

Group stage is over in the Group A in ICC Women's T20 World Cup, while two matches remain in Group B. India and Australia have qualified from Group A, while England and South Africa have qualified from Group B. Some confusion still remain about the semi-final matches. If South Africa win the last match, then their opponents will be Australia. If that doesn't happen, then they will face India in the semis.

Currently South African playing good so they can go on first and will face Australia and England vs India is also going to be very exciting but I am feeling India will go through in finale and will face Australia again as these both have good and better sides finale could be more interesting as India already beat Australia in first round match.

The Thailand women had a memorable match today, but they were really unfortunate. Batting first against Pakistan, they made 150/3, with the first wicket stand between Nattakan Chantam and Nattaya Boochatham putting in 93 runs. Given the fragile nature of Pakistani team, I am sure that Thailand would win the match. But unfortunately, it rained and the match got washed away. Feels bad for Thailand.

Its been a good fight back from SA to win the ODI series after a poor performance in the T20 series. I am a little surprised at how SA have bounced back especially in the ODI series after they had a poor World Cup. I thought that it would be the opposite way around with SA performing well in the T20 series and Australia playing well in the ODI series. Australia will need to at least get some confidence back in this final match before heading home to face New Zealand in a ODI series.

I am also surprised with South African confidence and play in last two ODI's because I was not sure about this all but they play well and out class Australia in both matches with good fight now its all on Australia how they perform because they need to play very good in last ODI as kiwis are now heading for them which could be also good contest between these two teams.

NZ team is in good form after consecutive wins against India. South Africans have outplayed Australian team in the ODI series. They have proven their might in balling and Sewell as in batting. Hard times ahead for Australia.

Anti-climax at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup. The semi-final between England and India got washed away and India qualified for the finals thanks to their stellar performance in the group stage. The final of the 2019 CWC came to my mind. England won the finals, after the score got tied back then. But they were unlucky this time around.

BTW, Australia won the other semi-final, which was also affected by rain. So the final match will be played between Australia and India.

The final is going to be exciting. The Indian team looks the most balanced with the performance in the tournament and they have already won over Australia once.
But with current weather conditions, a D/L setting can come in favor of any team on any period of time. The chasing team would have a better chance of getting easier target so it would also depend on the toss.

The ICC has to find an alternative for DL method . I have been a follower of cricket for many years and I have seen manyexperts as well as commentators saying they don't understand how it works . I too to be honest don't understand it. Although it's far better than other methods we have , I think it's time we bring in a new system for these situations.
As far as finals is concerned , I am rooting for Indian team as they clearly deserve to win this tournament.

The ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2020 is coming to an end. The final will be played between India and Australia tomorrow (12:30 pm IST). Ellyse Perry's absence due to a hamstring injury is going to severely cripple Australia, as she has been their best player for almost a decade now. Without Perry, it will be difficult for the Australian bowlers to contain Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana.

We got two big ODI games coming up starting later today between SA and India which will hopefully be a great series as SA just knocked off Australia and India will be wanting to bounce back after a poor test series in New Zealand. The tomorrow we have Australia v New Zealand which should be another good series as Australia is back at home however they are coming off a poor ODI series against SA so they will be looking to bounce back while New Zealand are coming off a great test series win over India so both series are going to be interesting to watch.

It was a surprise for everyone as i did not expect South Africa to dominate the ODI series, it was similar to the recent India and New Zealand series where India dominated the T20 series but then New Zealand came back and dominated the rest and now South Africa and India will be playing and the first ODI starts today.

You are absolutely correct I also did not expect the South Africans to dominate the ODI series. Disgusting performance by the Australian team. This series was exactly similar to the India vs Newzealand series. I am not sure what exactly went wrong with both the losing team as on papers they are far better than the rivals.

Australia performs better in the test format than in any other format. Their best player (Steve Smith) is more suited to test format, and the same can be said about some of their other players such as Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc as well. But let's not forget the fact that before the ODI series, the Australians won the T20 series against the same opponents in a very convincing manner.

The Australia v New Zealand match still went ahead but with no fans in the stadium which was a different experience when watching it on TV. I actually found the match a little boring with out the crowd, its just not the same. It must be an experience for the players as well as there is no crowd to get behind the teams. Australia ended up winning the match easily in the end as New Zealand didn't really offer much. It looks like the series will continue even though almost all other sports have been cancelled around the world, even the SA and India ODI series has been cancelled. This could last many months unless the corona virus is under control.

In countries where not enough precautions were taken, the virus has spread at a startling rate. So I would agree with the decision by various cricket boards to cancel bilateral series and other tournaments. For now, the BCCI has postponed the IPL by two weeks. To be honest, I don't think that this is enough. They need to postpone it by at least 6 months, as there is hardly any chance that the situation will get contained in two weeks.
