World Cup 2023 AUS vs SL: Every game almost like a final for Pat Cummins

Forced to treat every game as a final due to their awful start, skipper Pat Cummins on Sunday said Australia are fired up to perform against teams that they have done well against in the recent past. Australia were crushed by hosts India in their opener before stumbling to a 134-run defeat to South Africa on Thursday. The Men from Down Under find themselves in a precarious position to win at least six of their remaining seven games to make the semifinals. However, Cummins is not pressing the panic button just yet. "Looking back at 2019, India and South Africa were the two teams that we lost to in the round games there. In the last year, they're kind of the two teams that we've had the most trouble against. "So, the opportunity now is we've got some teams we haven't played for a while that we've had a lot of success against and be really confident when we go out there," Cummins said on the eve of the match against Sri Lanka here. Australia had entered the tournament on the back of

World Cup 2023 AUS vs SL Preview: Embattled Aussies face stuttering Lankans

Their house in complete disarray after consecutive defeats, Australia will look to wake up from their slumber and return to winning ways against an equally stuttering Sri Lanka in the World Cup here on Monday. Both teams are in search of their maiden win in the tournament. While Australia suffered humiliating losses against India and South Africa, Sri Lanka faltered against the Proteas and Pakistan. Australia have looked like a pale shadow of their dominant selves in this tournament. The five-time champions sit ninth in the 10-team league table owing to their horrendous Net Run Rate (-1.846), while the Lankans are 7th on the table with a NRR of -1.161. The Aussies desperately need to get their act together if they want to keep their fate in their own hands. But it is easier said than done. Australia have lost seven of their last eight ODIs comprehensively. During this tournament, they have performed poorly in all three departments of the game. The Men from Down Under have been ..

World Cup 2023: Past experience helped Bumrah read the wicket in Ahmedabad

Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah traced the origin of his fine 2 for 19 spell that played a big part in India bowling out Pakistan for 191 in their World Cup match on Saturday to his ability to read the pitch at a venue where he played a lot cricket from the junior days. After bundling out Pakistan for a below-par score, India chased down the target in a little over 30 overs to celebrate a seven-wicket win. Bumrah was later adjudged as the player of the match. "I have played a lot of junior cricket on this ground. Since it was a flat wicket, I tried to implement that experience of mine here," Bumrah told Hardik Pandya in a video posted by BCCI. "Before getting hit for four boundaries, it's vital to realise about the wicket right after one boundary. That's what I was trying to communicate," he added. As fellow pacer Mohammed Siraj reminded Bumrah about his fiery spell against Afghanistan in Delhi, Bumrah attributed the success at that venue to the IPL. "There I tried to use my IPL experi

IND vs PAK World Cup: Indian cricket fraternity rejoices after huge win

From Sachin Tendulkar to Virender Sehwag, the Indian cricket fraternity praised the team after its massive win over arch-rivals Pakistan in the ICC World Cup here on Saturday. India thrashed Pakistan by seven wickets to extend their unbeaten run against the traditional rivals to eight matches in the ODI World Cups. Bowling first, the Indians bundled out Pakistan for 191 and then finished the game in the 31st over, thanks to fabulous knocks from skipper Rohit Sharma (86) and Shreyas Iyer (53 not out). Veteran Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan remarked, "Big cheers to #TeamIndia for beating Pakistan! Our batters and bowlers were amazing. Let's keep up the great work and keep the momentum going. Go India!" Joining him was former India opener Sehwag, who tweeted, "Demolition Pro Max. Completely owned the Pakistanis. 72 overs were enough for a result, and what a win. Rohit spectacular, Bumrah, Kuldeep outstanding and a win to cherish. Bharat Mata Ki Jai." Meanwhile, the legendary Tendulkar

World Cup 2023: SL captain Shanaka ruled out, Karunaratne named replacement

Dealing a big jolt to Sri Lanka's floundering campaign in the World Cup, their captain Dasun Shanaka on Saturday was ruled out of the mega event with a right thigh muscle injury. Shanaka suffered the injury during their match against Pakistan on October 10, and he would take at least three weeks to recover, forcing the Lankans to seek a replacement, the ICC stated in a release. The ICC Event Technical Committee has approved Chamika Karunaratne as Shanaka's replacement. Sri Lanka have lost their opening two matches in the tournament to South Africa and Pakistan. The 32-year-old Shanaka had made a 62-ball 68 against South Africa in New Delhi when they chased an imposing 429. Karunaratne is a middle-order batter and right-arm medium pacer who has played 23 ODIs for the Islanders. The 27-year-old has taken 24 wickets from 23 matches and has scored 443 runs with a fifty.

World Cup ENG vs AFG Preview: England will look to better net run rate

Their campaign back on track after the humiliating loss in the opener, title holders England would look for a dominating all-round effort against a battered Afghanistan in the World Cup here on Sunday, with eyes firmly set on bettering their net run rate. Defending champions England's campaign started on a disappointing note as they lost by nine wickets against New Zealand in the tournament opener in Ahmedabad on October 5. But the Jos Buttler-led side bounced back in style, humbling Bangladesh by 137 runs in Dharamsala on Tuesday. Despite putting up a competitive 282 for nine in the opener at a batting-friendly Narendra Modi Stadium pitch, England bowlers were taken to the cleaners by Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra as New Zealand romped home in 36.2 overs. But England made a superb comeback in their next match with both the batting and bowling departments clicking in unison. It was not the batting unit which was the cause for concern for England against New Zealand, but their .
