Toggle between the tabs above to switch between quick scorecard, full scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary After their narrow loss at the hands of Pakistan on Friday, Afghanistan will be hoping to regroup and put up a much stronger performance in their next outing against Namibia on Sunday. The Afghanistan-Namibia clash is the first of the Sunday double-header, with India taking on New Zealand in the other game. Afghanistan and Namibia are currently ahead of top-ranked sides such as India and New Zealand in the points table, both having beaten Scotland in their opening games while the Men in Blue and the Kiwis have both lost to Pakistan. Afghanistan enter the game as strong favourites given their inspiring display in the T20 World Cup so far. They started off on a solid note, posting 190 on the board against Scotland before dismissing them for a meagre 60. On Friday against their neighbours, they recovered from a shaky start to post 147/6 on the board at the Dubai International S

The T20 World Cup is far from over and it has already created more controversy on the sidelines than the action on the pitch. First, there was Mohammad Rizwan catching a quick namaz in the drinks break, and Waqar Younis having his own reverse swing, sorry, spin on it. Then the trolls went hammer and tongs after poor Mohammed Shami. Kashmiri students who celebrated Pakistan’s victory by bursting crackers were booked for sedition in UP. In their defence it must be said that Diwali is round the corner; people do start early. I wish they were more tactful though. Clapping is less in-your-face than bursting crackers. Clap as much as you want when the match ends. If the authorities question your actions, say that you were just appreciating good cricket all round. Fandom in cricket is a mysterious thing. During a World Cup in England, I, along with several Indian fans, began supporting Pakistan. After India bowed out of the tournament, it felt natural to us to shift allegiance to a team fro

No one thought that we would be looking at today’s match between India and New Zealand as virtual quarterfinals, which we would need to win to remain in the race for the semi-finals. It’s the same for the kiwis too. Both sides have lost their first encounter and against the same team — Pakistan! Both sides would be under intense pressure, but for India it’s a different kind of pressure altogether. The pressure to live up to the expectations of the 1.3 billion demanding fans who expect nothing less than the World Cup this time. In comparison, New Zealand has a population of 3.5 million people. Just to keep things in perspective, these many people live in my vicinity of the NCR! And, unlike in India, cricket is not treated as a religion in New Zealand. India’s pressure is further compounded by archrivals Pakistan’s red hot form. At their best, India can beat New Zealand and get to the second position in the group. Also reassuring is the body language and demeanor of the Indian team. Vi

When the going gets tough, we turn to our favourite guilty pleasures. But when entertainment is concerned, is there even any guilt to what gives one pleasure? In our new series Pleasure Without Guilt, we look at pop offerings that have been dissed by the culture police but continue to endure as beacons of unadulterated pleasure. * The years 2000 and 2001 were pretty revelatory to me, and it wasn’t just the hormones or moving to Mumbai that made me feel that way. It was more or so the kind of music that my brothers and I were being put on to, being ever the young and impressionable adolescents surrounded by slightly older kids who were scouring Napster, Kazaa, and Limewire et al for all kinds of music. One of those friends put me on to rock and metal in a big way. Among the biggest rock and metal releases burning up the charts at the turn of the millennium was Limp Bizkit’s Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water . I was also getting introduced to artists like Eminem, Link

In the end, South Africa averted the loss they were rapidly hurtling towards in its ICC Men’s T20 World Cup league match against a battling Sri Lankan outfit in Sharjah on Saturday. It was almost as if South Africa were embracing navigational errors to be drawn to defeat with the certainty of moths attracted to flame. The slide was being engineered by the diligent Sri Lankan bowlers, notably leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga who sent back skipper Temba Bavuma and Dwaine Pretorius in his final over. The sceptre of choking, a familiar presence around the South African sides since the 1999 World Cup semifinal in Edgbaston, Birmingham, was looming all over again. It is an unwelcome intruder, no doubt, but hard as the South Africans have tried to keep the word away from their minds, there are innumerable reminders that are served to them by all and sundry. David Miller and Kagiso Rabada had to stay focussed on the task of getting 28 runs in the final two overs rather than let dismal thoughts

So dominant has England’s white-ball batting been in the last five years that it has completely eclipsed other admirable facets of their cricket – excellent all-round bowling backed up by electric fielding, and impeccable preparation that has enabled them to cover all bases. Not even the most pulverising innings of the T20 World Cup to date, by the effervescent Jos Buttler, could deflect attention from a command bowling display at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday night. This was billed as a contest of the equals, but like the other battle between traditional rivals earlier in the competition when Pakistan lorded over India, it was singularly one-way traffic. England comprehensively schooled Australia, subjecting them to the kind of shellacking the multiple-times world champions have seldom been at the receiving end of. At the heart of their ridiculously easy victory , by eight wickets with a whopping 50 deliveries to spare, was the incisiveness of their bowling attack, he

India take on New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. India would be looking to bounce back hard after the hammering they received at the hands of Pakistan in their opening match. A crucial half-century from Virat Kohli and a vital hand from Rishabh Pant helped India post a respectable 151/7 after they were reduced to 31/3 inside the powerplay. A better fight was expected in the bowling department. However, they didn't manage to take a single wicket as Pakistan chased down the target with 13 balls to spare. The top order will need to step up big time. It's a crucial match for both India and NZ as Pakistan are on the verge of qualifying for the semis with three wins in three. KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders and they need to make sure that the entire burden is not on Kohli. The bowling too needs to be sharp and incisive. Shami had an off day going for 11.20 runs an over. He would be looking t

South Africa vs Sri Lanka, Latest Updates, T20 World Cup 2021: After losing against Australia, Sri Lanka will aim to bounce back today to keep their qualification hopes alive. Preview:  Quinton de Kock is likely to return for South Africa's game against Sri Lanka on Saturday, in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021. The wicketkeeper-batter will be the cynosure of all the eyes as he had pulled out of the West Indies match after the South Africa team was asked by the board to take a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. De Kock has since apologised stating that “For me, Black lives have mattered since I was born." His return is sure to hog a lot of limelight, but one mustn't ignore how clinical the Proteas were against West Indies in their last match, winning it by eight wickets. Aiden Markram bowled some useful off-spin at the start and pacer Dwaine Pretorius was exceptional in the death. Fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje also had a good game. Chas

Ritu Phogat is now within touching distance of a chance of becoming the first Indian fighter to fight for a major MMA title. The Indian fighter, on Friday, overcame a spirited effort from Grand Prix alternate Jenelyn Olsim to win by unanimous decision in the semi-final round of the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix. Olsim initially used her striking to keep Phogat at the range, but "The Indian Tigress" quickly turned to her world-class wrestling and gained control. Phogat began the second round with an emphatic slam and then took Olsim to the mat at will. The Filipina kept it interesting by attacking constantly with submission attempts off her back, but Phogat was relentless with her chain wrestling and earned the victory on the judges' scorecards. With the win, Phogat advances to the tournament final. Phogat said, "To all those who've underestimated me, it's not easy bringing Ritu Phogat to her knees. I am here to always prove you wrong. I live to wi

There are times when watching a team secure a victory does not evoke the emotions associated with triumph. Friday night was one such. The West Indies won their Group 1 league match in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Sharjah by the skin of their teeth. It was helped by a Bangladesh squad that fought shy of sustaining its good work till the very end in either innings. Beyond relief of ducking the trend of defeats and of having staged a great escape , even the West Indies would have found it tough to leave the ground with any other emotion. Asked to bat first on a sluggish track, the West Indian big guns embraced a glory-or-bust approach and misfired so much that the bowlers’ heroics in defending 142 seemed grossly inadequate. From the time the West Indies crumbled to 55 against England in Dubai through the defeat by South Africa, Kieron Pollard’s team has looked for a standout batting show. That did not come about on Friday either. They will be hoping that the strokeplayers will all com

Five attempted yorkers, two executed yorkers, three missed yorkers, three sixes. Janat's yorker success percentage of 40% in that over would make him the best yorker bowler in T20 history. #T2
