Tendulkar rolls back years as India Masters crush England Masters by 9 wkts

The iconic Sachin Tendulkar rolled back the years with a 21-ball 34 as India Masters notched up a convincing nine-wicket win over their counterparts from England in the International Masters League (IML) here on Tuesday. Set a target of 132, India Masters completed the chase in 11.4 overs at the DY Patil Sports Academy. Skipper Tendulkar delighted those present inside the stadium with five fours and a six before getting dismissed by Chris Schofield. Gurkeerat Singh Mann top-scored for the home team with an unbeaten 63 off 35 balls, while the flamboyant Yuvraj Singh remained not out on 27 off 14 deliveries, as India registered their second successive win. It was a throwback to his prime years as Tendulkar smashed three consecutive boundaries in the fifth over, while finding the gaps with ease. Earlier in the evening, India Masters won the toss and opted to field, and the decision proved to the right one as the Tendulkar-led side restricted England Masters to a modest 132 for ...

Ecclestone shines as UP Warriorz beat RCB in WPL's first-ever Super Over

Sophie Ecclestone produced a superb all-round show to hand UP Warriorz a sensational win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever Super Over of the Women's Premier League here on Monday. Sent into bat, Ellyse Perry and Danni Wyatt-Hodge sparkled with the bat to guide RCB 180 for six. Perry smashed an unbeaten 90 off 56 balls while opener Wyatt-Hodge made 57. But Ecclestone, who registered economical figures of 4-0-29-0, showed her prowess with the bat, scoring 33 off 19 balls to help UP Warriorz made a remarkable comeback to tie the match and take it to the Super Over, where they came out on top. UP Warriorz managed just eight runs in the super over bowled by Kim Garth. The onus was then on RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana and Richa Ghosh to chase down the target of nine runs against Ecclestone but the English cricketer came out on top, conceding just four runs. Earlier, RCB lost Mandhana early, bowled by Deepti Sharma in the fourth over. Perry joined hands with Wyatt-Hodge

IML 2025: Simmons outshines Watson, powers WI to 7-wicket win over Aus

Shane Watson's 48-ball century was overshadowed by an equally aggressive 44-ball undefeated 94 from Lendl Simmons that helped West Indies Masters outclass Australia Masters by seven wickets in the second match of the inaugural International Masters League (IML) here on Monday. Continuing the trend of producing high-scoring matches in the IML, the sizeable crowd at the stadium were treated to Watson's signature strokes after West Indian batting great Brian Lara elected to field at the DY Patil Sports Stadium. The 43-year-old Watson treated the West Indies bowlers with disdain to notch up his half century off mere 27 balls, and consumed another 21 deliveries for his next fifty. In the process, Watson was also involved in a couple of big partnerships that set the tone for the massive total of 216 for 8. Watson, who went out to open the innings with Ben Dunk (15 off 11 balls), started with a 34-run partnership, before forging an 83-run partnership for the second wicket with Callum ...

WPL 2025: Mandhana, Renuka shine as RCB demolish Delhi Capitals by 8 wkts

Smriti Mandhana smashed a blistering 47-ball 81 to power reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a resounding eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in the Women's Premier League here on Monday. RCB bowlers, led by Renuka Singh (3/23) and Georgia Wareham (3/25), produced a disciplined performance to bowl out Delhi for 141 in 19.3 overs. RCB's opening duo of Smriti and Danni Wyatt-Hodge (42 from 33 balls; 7x4) made the target look effortless, forging a commanding 107-run partnership in just 55 balls before Richa Ghosh (11 not out from 5 balls) sealed the chase with a six in 16.2 overs. The Indian vice-captain Smriti smashed 10 fours and three sixes, dominating the bowlers with her signature sweeps, inside-out drives, and a towering pull over deep mid-wicket off Marizanne Kapp. She reached her fastest fifty of the tournament in just 27 balls, setting the tone for RCB's clinical chase. Danni provided solid support, striking seven boundaries, keeping the momentum going. T

MI Cape Town thrash Sunrisers Eastern Cape to win maiden SA20 title

Pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada produced an inspired bowling performance to lead MI Cape Town to their maiden SA20 title with a comfortable 76 runs win over two-time champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the final at the Wanderers here. After finishing last in the previous two seasons, the Rashid Khan-led MI Cape Town hardly put any foot wrong in the third season. Rabada on Saturday night claimed 4/25 in 3.4 overs to dismiss Sunrisers Eastern Cape for just 105 in response to MI Cape Town's 181 for 8 -- the second-highest score in a SA20 final. Rabada was ably supported by player-of-the-match Trent Boult, who took two wickets for just nine runs from his four overs, spin twins George Linde (2/20) and skipper Rashid (1/19). Chasing 182, the Aiden Markram-led Sunrisers, which had registered consecutive wins over Joburg Super Kings and Paarl Royals in the last two matches, could not maintain the momentum and except Tom Abell and Tony de Zorzi, no other batter could live upto the ...

IPL leads franchise cricket; we can only learn from them: SA20's Smith

SA20 commissioner Graeme Smith has pledged to make it the second best league in the world after admitting that the IPL remains the leader of franchise cricket, from where they can "only learn" to get better. The third season of SA20 is currently underway across venues in South Africa. "BCCI and IPL have been amazing in supporting us and guiding us in every decision we have made. IPL is the leader in franchise cricket by far and we can only learn from them," Smith told PTI Bhasha in an exclusive interview here. IPL veteran Dinesh Karthik this year became the first Indian player to feature in SA20 by appearing for Paarl Royals, who lost the second qualifier against two-time champion Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Centurion on Thursday. When asked about the possibility of having more Indian players in future, Smith said they would love to have them if they were available, but nothing of that sort is in the pipeline as of now. "We always said that we have worked with the BCCI to see what t

Sunrisers on course for SA20 title hattrick after win in Eliminator

Aiden Markram led from the front once again, smashing a 40-ball 63 as defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape kept their dream of a third consecutive SA20 title alive with a 32-run win over Joburg Super Kings in the Eliminator. The two-time champions will now face Paarl Royals in Qualifier 2 at SuperSport Park on Thursday, with the winners taking on in-form MI Cape Town in the final at Wanderers on Saturday. Put in, Sunrisers posted 184 for 6, thanks to Markram's captain's knock, a brisk start by young opener David Bedingham (27 off 14), and a late flourish from Marco Jansen (23 off 12). In response, Joburg Super Kings could only manage 152 for 7 in their 20 overs. Bedingham set the tone early, hammering two boundaries off Lutho Sipamla in the first over. He continued his aggressive approach, smashing a four and a six in Sipamla's second over, with Tony de Zorzi also joining in. Markram and Jansen later dismantled the same bowler, plundering 29 runs in his third over. The Por
