Mooney, Litchfield power Australia to seventh ICC Women's T20 WC title

Australian team proved its absolute supremacy in the women's game, winning an unprecedented seventh T20 World Cup title after making short work of hosts England by seven wickets in the final here on Sunday. Among the greatest sporting outfits across all sports, the Southern Stars made a mockery of a record chase of 151 runs, completing the formalities in only 17.1 overs with Sophie Molineux winning her first ICC title as skipper. Young Phoebe Litchfield (48 off 35 balls), possibly the best batter among the younger crop in women's cricket, stitched a 100-run stand with veteran Beth Mooney (64 off 49 balls) that basically decimated an English attack which had to defend a total that was at least 25 runs sub-par on a decent batting track. Their century stand came off just 69 balls -- a marker why Australian women are a few country miles ahead of other teams in terms of skill and quality. Litchfield, with superb hand-eye co-ordination, muscled her way to six fours and two sixes while ..

India must find more middle-over runs in England, says Ishan Kishan

Dashing wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan believes India must solve their middle-overs slowdown and adapt better to English conditions to find the extra runs suffering a defeat against England in the second T20I here. India are winless in four out of their last five T20Is, having lost both matches against Ireland before suffering a four-wicket defeat to England in the second T20I after the series opener was washed out. India's batting momentum stalled in the middle overs as despite reaching 65/2 in the powerplay, the visitors scored only 32 runs between overs 7 and 10, dragging their total to 96/2 at the halfway mark. They also scored just 23 runs in four overs between over 14 to 17. "100%, I mean, obviously, they'll have the best choice of bowling, where to pick up, which bowler to put, which batsman to put. They understand the condition better than us," Kishan told reporters after the loss on Saturday. "But at the same time, we are all looking to improve. We are all looking to ...

Sciver-Brunt's 75 powers England into Women's T20 World Cup final

Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt's awe-inspiring knock of 75 after an injury led England past South Africa and into the final of the Women's Twenty20 World Cup on Thursday. Sciver-Brunt and former skipper Heather Knight rescued England from 23-3 with a 133-run partnership - the highest ever in a World Cup knockout match - to set South Africa a forbidding 170 target in The Oval semifinal. South Africa, which chose to chase, had the life squeezed out of it and saw the writing on the wall as early as the 11th over after the great Marizanne Kapp was just the third out. By then the run rate required was already at 11 per over for the finalist in the previous two T20 World Cups. No. 2-ranked England won by 40 runs and will face No. 1 Australia in the final at sold-out Lord's on Sunday. It's the first time since 2010 that both teams in the final are unbeaten. England put up 169-5 and South Africa was shrunk to 129-8 in front of a women's T20 semifinal record attendance of 21,128. Sciver-Brunt ..

Morkel backs World Cup winners despite Vaibhav's selection pressure

India bowling coach Morne Morkel on Friday indicated that the management will not easily displace openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma despite teen phenom Vaibhav Sooryavanshi knocking on the team's doors. Abhishek has made one half century and a 49 in his last three innings during the ongoing UK tour but Samson has been disappointing with scores of 5, 0, 1. "I think we just need to respect the fact that we've got the number one batter, or we had our number one batter in T20 cricket, Abhishek Sharma. You know, Sanju was the player of the World Cup," Morkel said on the eve of the second T20I against England here. "He (Samson) had a great IPL. So, I think as a coaching staff, it's only fair to show faith and back your players. Yes, there's a young man knocking on the door and it's exciting. "But I reckon for not just those two players at the top, but for the rest of the group, it's a good sign that we show that we back you guys," he added. Morkel also stressed that the think-tan
