As Cricket World Cup 2023 is gaining momentum, illegal betting activities are also picking up steam with crores of rupees invested through informal routes leading to a loss of about Rs 2 lakh crore to tax authorities, a report said. The illegal sports betting market receives an estimated inflow of Rs 8,20,000 crore (USD 100 billion) per annum from India, according to Think Change Forum (TCF) report. Factors such as digital infrastructure growth, smartphone usage, and the expansion of athletic events have contributed to this kind of inflow, it said. Despite regulatory restrictions, India's illegal betting and gambling market has shown remarkable growth, it said. According to the report at a baseline estimated deposits of Rs 8,20,000 crore being for betting at current GST rate of 28 per cent, India is losing Rs 2,29,600 crore per annum. To restrict such activities, the report suggested strict implementation of the new GST regime by establishing a task force to monitor illegal offsho
New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner feels assessing the conditions in Dharamsala and countering an in-form Rohit Sharma will be vital as they eye the "tough" task of beating India at home during their World cup clash on Sunday. New Zealand have done well to adapt to the different conditions in the World Cup. The Black Caps, who have won all four of their games in the tournament so far, have played in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Chennai. They will now fly to Dharamsala for the much-anticipated game against India, who are on a three-match winning streak. "We know they're going to obviously be a challenge at home. They look pretty tough to beat. We'll have to do our assessment in Dharamsala - see what the wicket's going to do. "There has been a little pace and bounce. But whether that is the case when we play them, we'll see," Santner said after New Zealand's 149-run win over Afghanistan on Wednesday. Rohit has looked in imperious form at the top, playing brilliant knocks of 86 against
Australia's cricketing DNA is constructed by meticulousness and Pakistan's by explosiveness. When they meet each other here on Friday, Australia and Pakistan will have to regain those qualities in batting and bowling to infuse a fresh life into their World Cup campaign, which is yet to go into overdrive. Pakistan's strength lies in their ability to play fearless cricket in the face of pressure. Make a quick rewind to their glory year of 1992 for a validation of that remark. But in this World Cup, they caved in at the first hint of real pressure, a match against India. There simply was no fight in their seven-wicket battering by the Men in Blue. That mammoth chase of 345 at Hyderabad in their second match came on a featherbed against a vastly short of quality Sri Lanka, and taking it as a pointer will be sheer naivety. Now, the Aussies offer another genuine pressure point to the Green Brigade. A side immersed in its own turmoil, the five-time champions are no India but they are a r
Aware of the dangers that spin wizard Rashid Khan poses as a bowler, New Zealand batters tried to work through his spell and were able to nullify the threat during their 149-run win over Afghanistan, said wicketkeeper-batter Glenn Phillips. Rashid could only manage figures of 1 for 43 in his 10 overs, while a couple of dropped chances against his bowling hurt his spell too. "Everyone plans against Rashid as best as they can. Sometimes, he has an unbelievable day, and he's just unplayable regardless of how much you plan," Phillips told reporters here. "We understood that if we could keep him quiet, it would allow us to take on other bowlers. I have seen batters taking on Rashid really well, besides also seeing others struggle against him. "We have realised that we need to work through his spell. It's a cool challenge every time you face him. He bowled incredibly well today, but I believe that we nullified his threat today." Phillips played a knock of 71 and involved in a partnershi
Dropping as many as five catches at crucial junctures and failing to read the nature of the track became their undoing, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi said after his team's humiliating 149-run defeat at the hands of New Zealand in a World Cup game here on Wednesday. Batting first, New Zealand scored 288/6 in 50 overs and Glenn Phillips (71) and Tom Latham (68) got reprieves at opportune moments to conjure a match-winning 144-run stand. In reply, Afghanistan were bowled out for 139 in 34.4 overs. "Very disappointed because at this level you have to take those kind of catches. End of the day those catches hurt us as otherwise the team was doing well but the fielding let us a little bit down," Shahidi was straight-forward in his assessment. Afghanistan conceded 78 runs in the last six overs and it was the turning point on a track that offered a lot of turn. "Last six overs, a lot of runs were scored by New Zealand. Before that, we dropped two catches before the 40th over and

Jasprit Bumrah's ability to bowl slower ones at will, read the situation well, and utilize home conditions to his advantage make him the best fast bowler in the ICC World Cup 2023
After a 149-run pummelling at the hands of New Zealand, a fuming Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott on Wednesday pointed out under-par catching as the reason behind his side's mauling here in the World Cup match. The Afghan fielders dropped as many as five catches at Chepauk, and the main beneficiaries were Tom Latham (68) and Glenn Phillips (71) as the reprieves helped the Kiwis duo to stitch together a 144-run stand for the fifth wicket. "I would say that it's not the pressure. I think it's been happening a bit too much recently as well since I've been in charge," Trott started in the post-match press meet. "So, if you look at the statistics, unfortunately, the side is right at the bottom with regards to catching. So, that needs to improve. I think it's something we've worked really hard on in training. We just need to do it in games now," Trott explained further. However, the former England batter gave credit to the Black Caps for bouncing back from a precarious situation of
