Rashid vows team will make nation proud despite Super 8s uncertainty

Afghanistan's fate in qualifying for T20 World Cup Super Eights stage is not in their hands even after beating UAE here on Monday, but captain Rashid Khan said his team wants to make the country proud with its brand of cricket even if it makes an early exit from the tournament. After Afghanistan's five-wicket win over UAE, South Africa made it to the Super Eights from Group D with six points from three matches. New Zealand, currently with four points from three matches, can seal the second spot from the group if they beat Canada on Tuesday in Chennai. In that scenario, Afghanistan -- currently on two points from three matches -- will exit from the tournament even if they defeat Canada in their last group match on February 19 in Chennai. "Hoping for the best. Yes, (we) still have a little bit of hope, we can make it to the next stage and we just need to come up with a positive mindset (against Canada)," Rashid said at the post-match presentation. "Next game, you never know, it's a

Pakistan likely to ring changes as Babar, Shaheen battle lean patch: Report

Pakistan is set to drop senior players Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi from their next T20 World Cup match against Namibia after the duo's failure to come good in the high-stakes game against India in Colombo, a reliable source in the team management told PTI on Monday. The source said that Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi conveyed his displeasure over the team's performance in the 61-run loss to India to team manager Naved Akram Cheema. "The Chairman left the match early at the Premadasa stadium as it became obvious Pakistan were going to face another defeat to India," the source said. He said Naqvi, through a senior PCB official, also conveyed to the manager that such performances in matches that matter were not understandable or acceptable. The source said head coach Mike Hesson also spoke to the players in the dressing room and told them that they had not played to their full potential. "Late night the management think tank decided enough was enough and it was t

Fearless Kishan took the game away from us: Pakistan coach Hesson

Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson said "fearless" Ishan Kishan's marauding fifty was the difference between his side and India, and urged his players to rally after the heavy defeat in the marquee clash of the T20 World Cup here. Led by Kishan's aggressive 77 off 40 balls, India trumped Pakistan by 61 runs in a Group A match here Sunday night to seal a Super Eight berth. "I think he's fearless. He's able to score on both sides of the ground. So, he's not just committed to the leg side. We know he's incredibly strong there, but he can reverse. So, if you've got spin, especially in the power play, it can be a challenge," Hesson said in the post-match press conference. True to Hesson's words, Kishan scored 66 runs off 37 balls against Pakistan slow bowlers, spoiling their spin-heavy strategy on a slow Premadasa pitch. Hesson admitted that Kishan's approach unsettled his spinners. "I think the fact that he's in a rare vein of form, applied a lot of pressure to our spinners and probably

Sanjay's 68, bowlers seal 31-run win as USA stay alive for Super 8 round

Sanjay Krishnamurthi's explosive unbeaten half-century followed by a disciplined bowling show powered USA to a crucial 31-run win over Namibia, in a must-win Group C clash here on Sunday, keeping their slim Super Eights hopes alive. With back-to-back victories, USA finished the group stage on four points and are on third place behind India and Pakistan as they remain in contention for a place in the next round from Group A, though they will depend on other results. Opting to bat, skipper Monank Patel set the tone with a fluent 30-ball 52 before Krishnamurthi hammered an unbeaten 68 off 33 balls to lift USA to their highest-ever T20 World Cup total of 199/4, also the second-highest total by an Associate team at the men's T20 World Cup. In reply, Namibia were restricted to 168/6 despite a strong start given by Louren Steenkamp (58 off 39 balls; 5x4, 3x6). The Namibian opener Steenkamp provided early fireworks, especially in a 20-run fifth over when he smashed Ali Khan for two fours a
