T20 World Cup 2024: Kiwis looked rusty and disorganised feels Ian Smith

Former New Zealand cricketer Ian Smith has questioned the readiness of his country's team in the T20 World Cup, saying it looked rusty and completely disorganised in the humiliating defeat against Afghanistan. New Zealand suffered an embarrassing 84-run loss to Afghanistan in their tournament opener here on Friday. They were dismissed for 75 in their chase of 159, with Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi grabbing four wickets each. The Kiwis are placed fifth and last in Group C and will next play the West Indies in Trinidad on Wednesday with the negative net run rate making their task of qualifying for the knockouts an uphill task. "They've got to beat the West Indies, and hope that they (West Indies) get beaten by Afghanistan, because New Zealand's run rate situation is so poor - we're going to be very behind the eight ball when it comes to that," Smith, who has played 63 Tests and 98 ODIs, told Sen Radio on Monday. "I just don't know they're going to get up to speed from the flat ..

T20 World Cup 2024: WI eye big win against Uganda; Scots up against Oman

Co-hosts West Indies will look to shake off their batting rustiness and come in their element when they face Uganda in a Group C T20 World Cup clash here. The pre-tournament favourites and two-time former champions suffered a scare chasing a modest 137 before they scraped to five-wicket win over minnows Papua New Guinea in their opening match. On a difficult pitch that required patience and application, West Indies batters kept playing recklessly and found themselves half the side down for 97 with just four overs remaining. It was then left to Roston Chase (42 not out) and Andre Russell (15 not out) to safely take them home and avoid an embarrassment. Against a team who are coming on the back of morale boosting win over Papua New Guinea, West Indies will have to exercise some caution especially with the bat. Nicholas Pooran has been their most standout batter in the recent past and the wicketkeeper-batter will have responsibility to stay at the crease till the end. On conditions

Abbott leads Australia to series deciding 83-run win against West Indies

Sean Abbott exhibited his allrounder skills and powered Australia to a series deciding 83-run win over the West Indies in the second one-day international on Sunday. Abbott made a better than a run-a-ball 69 and lifted Australia to a competitive 258-9 at his home ground after West Indies won the toss and opted to field. The tall fast bowler then struck inside the batting powerplay before he picked up key wicket of Keacy Carty, who top-scored with 40, in his return spell to finish with 3-40 as West Indies was held to 175 all out in 43.3 overs. We thought 220 would be competitive but were very competitive with partnerships, taking it over 250, Abbott said. It's a really good (Australian) attack. It's such a good environment. I've been enjoying it. Love getting out there and playing in front of a home crowd. Just like at the MCG two days ago where Australia romped to an eight-wicket win in the first game, the West Indies top order stuttered against pace in their run-chase. Abbott gra

AUS vs WI 2nd Test: Australia fights back through Carey and Cummins fifties

Blistering half centuries by Alex Carey and captain Pat Cummins led Australia's fightback on Day 2 of the day-night test against West Indies on Friday. Carey smashed 65 runs off 49 balls and Cummins finished unbeaten on 64 off 73 before he declared Australia's first innings at 289-9 despite still trailing by 22. The decision to give his fast bowlers a chance to bowl with the pink ball under lights for half an hour paid off. Mitchell Starc almost had captain Kraigg Brathwaite dismissed in his second over but Steve Smith dropped a low catch in the slips. Josh Hazlewood then found a faint edge from Tagenarine Chanderpaul's bat in the last over of the day as West Indies reached 13-1 in its second innings at stumps for an overall lead of 35 runs. Usman Khawaja, who was named ICC test player of the year 2023 on Friday, once again played a meaningful knock of 75, after West Indies' first innings effort of 311. Carey provided the bulk of the scoring with his aggressive shots as he raised a
