SMAT 2025: Siraj-led Hyderabad stun Mumbai, Jharkhand reamins unbeaten

The presence of a clutch of India stars failed to inspire Mumbai and Andhra, as they went down to Hyderabad and Madhya Pradesh respectively in their Super League matches of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy here on Friday. Mumbai had Yashasvi Jaiswal (29), Sarfaraz Khan (5), Ajinkya Rahane (9) and Shardul Thakur (0) in their line-up but folded for 131 as India pacer Mohammad Siraj took three for 17 in 3.5 overs for Hyderabad. Tanay Thyagarajan took two wickets to support Siraj. In reply, the promising Aman Rao (52 not out, 29b) and Tanmay Agarwal (75, 40b), helped Hyderabad chase down the target in just 11.5 overs. Hyderabad made 132 for one to register a 9-wicket win and grab four points. Reddy's all-round show not enough ====================== India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy made 25 and took a hat-trick (3/17 in 3 overs) for Andhra but Madhya Pradesh emerged a four-wicket victor in a low-scoring match.

India slip to sixth in WTC after NZ outclass West Indies in key Test

India on Friday slipped a rung to sixth position on the World Test Championship standings after New Zealand's comprehensive nine-wicket victory against the West Indies in Wellington propelled them to the third place. Runners-up in the first two WTC cycles, India were placed fifth after they were blanked 2-0 by South Africa at home last month with New Zealand occupying the sixth position. However, the table saw a major turnaround after the Kiwis' big win in the second Test at Basin Reverse on Friday. Former champions Australia continue to hold the top position with 100 percentage points (win-loss percentage) with South Africa in second place with 75 percentage points. Sri Lanka (66.67) and Pakistan (50) occupy the fourth and fifth position respectively. New Zealand have so far accumulated 66.67 percentage points, while India have a win-loss percentage of 48.15. India can drop further down to seventh if England stage a comeback against Australia in the Ashes. The Aussies lead the se

Surya admits he needed to bat deeper, says reliance on Abhishek not ideal

Abhishek Sharma can't win every game for India, said Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav while accepting that he and deputy Shubman Gill should have taken the onus of batting deeper during team's 51-run defeat to South Africa in the second T20I here on Thursday. Abhishek (17 off 8 balls) started well but Gill (0) and skipper Suryakumar (5) were dismissed within the powerplay as India folded for 162 in pursuit of a challenging target of 214 on a good batting track. "I think myself, Shubman, we could have given a good start because we can't rely on Abhishek all the time. The way he's been batting, he might have an off-day. Me, Shubman and few other batters should have taken it," Suryakumar said at the post-match presentation ceremony. "I think it would have been a smart chase. But then it's okay, Shubman got out on the first ball. But I should have taken that responsibility, batted a little deeper. But as I said we learn, we try and do better in the next game to come," Suryakumar didn't

Black Caps seize 1-0 lead with emphatic nine-wicket victory in 2nd Test

Jacob Duffy took 5-38 as New Zealand's weakened attack bowled out the West Indies for 128 on the third day to set up a nine-wicket win in the second test. New Zealand leads the three-match series 1-0 after the first test was drawn. The third test begins on Dec. 18. Duffy claimed his second five-wicket bag of the series as the West Indies were left with an overall lead of only 55 after trailing by 73 runs on the first innings. New Zealand reached 56-1 in only 10 overs, losing Tom Latham (9) along the way. Devon Conway was 28 not out at the end and Kane Williamson was 16, hitting a four off Anderson Phillip for the winning runs minutes before the schedule tea break. Pacer Michael Rae and wicketkeeper-batter Mitch Hay also made major contributions to New Zealand's win after being called up to make their test debuts in an injury-hit team. Hay scored a match-high 61 in as New Zealand made 278 in its first innings in reply to the West Indies's 205. Rae took 3-66 in the first innings and

Ten Doeschate urges Gill to forget pressure, play freely like in IPL

Shubman Gill has been a "bit too tight" since his T20 comeback as he has been trying to "justify" his place in the side but the Indian team management wants him to free up and play like he does in the IPL, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has said. Gill was brought back into the T20 setup with the Asia Cup in September after he led India to two famous Test wins in the drawn five-match series in England. He replaced Sanju Samson at the top but runs have not flown from his bat, raising questions ahead of the T20 World Cup at home in February-March. After the loss in the second T20I against South Africa here on Thursday, ten Doeschate said Gill needed to loosen up a bit in the shortest format. "Taking on the captaincy the way he did in England and how well he led and how much pride he took in that performance, I think an element of that carried over into what he wanted to do in the T20 side," said the assistant coach in response to a PTI query after the 51-run loss that left the ...

Didn't know what I had until lost: Quinton reflects on retirement reversal

Quinton de Kock has got the hunger back to win games for South Africa, feels fitter than ever and is batting as if he never spent time away from international cricket. His sublime 90 off 46 balls in second T20 against India was a testament to the left-hander's renewed purpose in playing for the country again. In the age of power-hitting, de Kock relies on conventional strokeplay and makes batting look effortless. The 32-year-old had retired from ODIs post the 2023 World Cup and had not played the shortest format since the loss to India in the 2024 T20 World Cup final until October. De Kock is now back playing white-ball cricket and says the time away from the game actually allowed him to realise what he was missing out on. "I think prior to my retirement, I was losing my hunger to win games for this team. That time away just brought back my hunger. I was telling the guys, I don't think I've ever felt this way," de Kock spoke in depth about his reasons for an international ...
