Sophie Devine trusts umpire's decision on run-out incident against India

New Zealand captain Sophie Devine, who inspired them to a big win over India in their Women's T20 World Cup opener, feels the run-out controversy surrounding Amelia Kerr may have "stalled" India's game flow but she stressed the importance of respecting umpires' judgment. India found themselves in the midst of an umpiring controversy against the Kiwis here on Friday, a match they lost by 58 runs. "Yeah it was an interesting one probably broke a little bit of momentum (of India) and maybe stalled them a little bit. But I think that's part of cricket isn't it, people's interpretations are always going to be slightly different," Devine said at the post-match media interaction. The incident occurred in the 14th over of New Zealand's innings when Kerr was run out by Indian wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh while she attempted a second run along with Devine. Kerr had already begun walking off the field before being called back by the umpires Anna Harris and Jacqueline Williams who ruled the ball .

Tim Southee quits NZ captaincy ahead of India tour, Tom Latham to take over

Tim Southee has stepped down from New Zealand captaincy ahead of the three-Test series against India and Tom Latham has been appointed in the veteran pacer's place. Southee captained New Zealand in 14 Tests in which the Kiwis won six, lost six and drew two. I've always tried to put the team first throughout my career and I believe this decision is the best for the team, said Southee in a New Zealand Cricket statement. I believe the way I can best serve the team moving forward is focusing on my performances on the field and getting back to my best, to continue taking wickets and helping New Zealand win Test matches." The 35-year-old right-arm pacer has so far played 102 Tests alongside 161 ODIs and 126 T20Is. With 382 wickets, he is the second-highest wicket-taker for the Kiwis after legendary Richard Hadlee (431). I will, as I've always done, continue to support my teammates, especially the exciting young bowlers making their way on the international stage. I wish Tom all the bes

New Zealand collapse in 2nd Test against Sri Lanka, nearing unwanted record

New Zealand are teetering on the brink of their heaviest defeat in Tests after being forced to follow on in the second Test against Sri Lanka on Saturday. Following a devastating morning session in Galle where Sri Lanka claimed eight wickets, the tourists were asked to follow on, trailing by a staggering 514 runs. Things only worsened for the Blackcaps, who lost opener Tom Latham before lunch in the second innings. New Zealand still need an improbable 511 runs on a turning Galle pitch just to avoid an innings defeat. New Zealand's worst-ever defeat was by an innings and 324 runs against Pakistan in 2002 and it would appear a record under threat here given the little resistance New Zealand's batters have offered against Sri Lanka's masterful spin attack. Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya dominated the first innings, taking six wickets for 42 runs, while debutant off-spinner Nishan Peiris was an impressive supporting act, claiming three scalps before dismissing Latham i

IND vs NZ: Guptill mentions biggest challenge while batting in India

The biggest challenge for the New Zealand batters on their upcoming Test tour of India will be picking the turning ball and more so the odd one that skids through, reckons former Black Caps opener Martin Guptill. The finalists of the inaugural World Test Championship in 2019-21 cycle, India and New Zealand, will face off in three Tests to be played at Bengaluru, Pune and Mumbai from October 16. You feel like you can never score sometimes, that's the hardest thing about coming here to India. The ball's turning square, then the same sort of ball comes through and it skids on straight. You never know which one's going to turn and which one's going to go straight, so you have to always be thinking, you have to always be mentally on song and on (the top of) your game," Guptill told PTI in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of Legends League Cricket. Guptill highlighted importance of pressing on the advantage against India who have won their last 17 series at home. To try and get o

Jayasuriya spins Sri Lanka to victory over New Zealand in 1st test

Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya delivered a stellar five-wicket haul in the second innings and nine wickets overall, to lead Sri Lanka to a 63-run victory over New Zealand in the first Test on Monday. New Zealand resumed play on the final day needing 68 more runs to reach a victory target of 275. However, they managed to add just four runs before Sri Lanka wrapped up the game in only 3.4 overs. Overnight batsman Rachin Ravindra, who had kept New Zealand's hopes alive with a valiant 91 on Sunday, could only add one more run to his total before being trapped leg before wicket by Jayasuriya. The promising left-hander's resistance ended as he misjudged a delivery trying to defend on the back foot. In Jayasuriya's next over, he bowled last man William O'Rourke for a duck, sealing Sri Lanka's victory in a tightly contested match and the 32-year-old spinner's eighth five-wicket haul in tests. Although Ravindra narrowly missed out on a well-deserved century, his score of 92 is now the

New Zealand eight down, Sri Lanka two wickets away from winning 1st Test

The first test between Sri Lanka and New Zealand has been fiercely contested, with the home side edging towards victory by the close of play on the penultimate day Sunday. The tourists ended the day at 207-8, still 68 runs short of their 275-run target but with the pitch offering significant assistance to the spinners, Sri Lanka looks set to wrap up the game. Top-order batsman Rachin Ravindra has been fighting a lone battle for New Zealand. The left-hander remained unbeaten on 91 at stumps and could become the first New Zealander to score a hundred in Galle. Ravindra batted with a clear game plan, combining solid defense with an effective use of both the conventional and reverse sweeps to find scoring opportunities. He also capitalized on a rare loose delivery from part-time spinner Dhananjaya de Silva, dispatching the full toss for six. Chasing 275 was never going to be easy for New Zealand, and Prabath Jayasuriya made life difficult for the batsmen. He claimed the crucial wicket

The ticket prices for 3rd Test between IND and NZ to remain same in Mumbai

The ticket prices will remain same as the previous rates for the upcoming third Test of the India versus New Zealand series to be played here from November 1-5, the Mumbai Cricket Association has said. India and New Zealand last played a Test here at the Wankhede Stadium in 2021, a contest which the hosts won by 372 runs after Kiwis' spinner Ajaz Patel created history by becoming only the third bowler in Tests to take all 10 wickets in an innings. The ticket prices were reportedly hiked by 25 per cent for the Test three years ago, taking the price to Rs 125 for a daily ticket against Rs 100 and Rs 375 for all five days against Rs 300, compared to the rates for the match held here back in 2016. The MCA in its Apex Council meeting has also decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the country's most iconic cricket venues, Wankhede Stadium, on January 19 next year in its golden jubilee celebration. Among the other decisions taken in the meeting, all trainee players selected

New Zealand takes marginal lead of 35 runs in first Test against Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's record of four wins in four tests against New Zealand in Galle was in mild jeopardy Friday when the Kiwis took a 35-run lead after the first innings of the first test. In reply at lunch Friday, Sri Lanka was 32 for one on the third day, trailing New Zealand by three runs with nine wickets in hand. Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya, who was erratic with his line and length on Day 2, found some rhythm Friday and finished with four wickets. He was well backed up by off-spinner Ramesh Mendis, who finished with three wickets as New Zealand was bowled out for 340 in its first innings. Daryl Mitchell scored a half-century before being run out while Glenn Philips provided some extra entertainment, hitting 49 off 48 balls. Philips hit five sixes, with some of them going out of the ground. Sri Lanka had a half-hour to negotiate before lunch and the hosts lost Pathum Nissanka in that period when he was superbly caught in the slips by Tim Southee as William O'Rourke claimed his .
