Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, Asia Cup 2022: Mujeeb and Rashid show, Najibullah's fireworks and other talking points

Afghanistan on Tuesday became the first team to qualify for the Super 4 stage of the 2022 Asia Cup with another clinical performance, this time pulling off a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Sharjah. The Afghan bowling unit appeared to have picked up from where they left off against Sri Lanka as the spin pair of Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan rocked the Bangladesh batting order with three-wicket hauls. Had it not been for some vital contributions from the middle and lower order, the match would’ve ended a lot quicker for the Mohammad Nabi-led outfit. The Bangladesh bowlers though kept the team’s hopes of victory intact with a disciplined show for the most part during Afghanistan’s chase, but all of that fell apart in the death overs thanks to the brilliance of Najibullah Zadran, who blasted his way to an unbeaten 43 to guide his team home.

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup Stat Attack: Shakib Al Hasan’s 100th T20I, Rashid Khan’s bowling and more

Afghanistan showcased all-round performance to beat Bangladesh by seven wickets in their second clash of the Asia Cup 2022 in Sharjah on Tuesday. With this win, Mohammad Nabi-led side tops the group B and qualify for Super Fours of the tournament. With their back-to-back wins against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Afghanistan became the first team to make it to the next round of the tournament. Chasing 128 to win, Afghanistan found themselves in little trouble with Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Mohammad Nabi departing at crucial stages, but Ibrahim Zadran, who scored unbeaten 42 off 41 balls and Najibullah Zadran, who smashed 43 runs off just 17 deliveries, which included six 6s and a 4, helped their team cross the finishing line in 18.3 overs. Apart from Najibullah and Ibrahim, Hazratullah Zazai also played a crucial knock (23 off 26) Earlier, after winning the toss and opting to bat first, Bangladesh batters couldn’t get going for the most part of the innings on a dusty pi

Asia Cup 2022: Twitter lauds Afghanistan's 'brilliant performance' against Bangladesh

Afghanistan continued their winning run in the Asia Cup 2022 after beating Bangladesh in Sharjah on Tuesday. Chasing a target of 128, the Afghan side went over the line by 7 wickets in the penultimate over of the innings. Afghanistan had lost wickets at regular intervals and were 62/3 when Ibrahim Zadran and Najibullah Zadran joined hands and provided the resistance to the side before Najibullah went all guns blazing in the final phase of the innings. He remained unbeaten at 43 off 17. Ibrahim on the other side, also made an important contribution as he returned not out for 42 in 41 deliveries. What a win! 🙌 Things went right down to the wire but AfghanAtalan led by the Zadran duo of @iamnajibzadran 43* (17) & @IZadran18 42* (41) hold their nerve to beat @BCBtigers by 7 wickets 👏🔥 With this win, we are into the top four teams 🏆🏏 #AfghanAtalan | #AsiaCup2022 pic.twitter.com/vkO8xaD2jL — Afghanistan Cricket Board (@ACBofficials) August 30, 2022 Afghanistan become

Asia Cup 2022: Shakib Al Hasan returns as Bangladesh begin campaign against confident Afghanistan

These may be early days at the 2022 Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates, but Afghanistan showcased what they could do on their day with both bat and ball, with their eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the tournament-opener on Saturday. Three days later, on Tuesday, Mohammad Nabi-led Afghanistan meet Shakib Al Hasan’s Bangladesh as the Asia Cup caravan heads to Sharjah. This will be Bangladesh’s opening game of the tournament, and Tuesday’s match will be followed by another group game against Sri Lanka, on Thursday. Against Sri Lanka, it seemed as though Afghanistan were the most superior side who were on top of the game. Although spinner Rashid Khan failed to register himself among the wicket-takers, he was very economical, ending with figures of 0/12 from four overs. Fazalhaq Farooqi stole the show for Afghanistan with the new ball, registering figures of 3/11 from four overs against Sri Lanka, which is his best figures in T20I cricket. Spinners Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman

India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2022: Five talking points from the nail-biting clash between arch-rivals

India beat Pakistan in a cracker of a game with just two balls to spare – as the Indian all-rounders showed why they are the best doing the rounds in world cricket – ensuring a five-wicket win on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. While Indians will have a better night than their neighbours, the fans could have not asked for a better match, as their nails must have been chewed in the last few overs of the match. Asked to bat first after losing the toss, Pakistan managed a total of 147 and were all out with one ball to spare. Thanks to Mohammed Rizwan’s slow but steady 43 of 42 balls and a late flurry of boundaries from Shahnawaz Dahani gave an impetus to the Pakistan scorecard. Spinner Mohammed Nawaz was brilliant with the ball as he scalped the important wickets of Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, and more importantly, bowled Ravindra Jadeja in the last over just when India seemed to cruise away with the win. Not one for the faint hearted. What a nerve wracking and fantasti

Sakshi Malik, Anshu Malik, Pooja Sihag, and others opt out of World Wrestling Championships trials amid tragedy

Lucknow : Wrestling Federation of India’s (WFI) trials for the upcoming World Championships will start on a tragic note on Monday here as Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Pooja Sihag lost her husband Ajay Nandal to an alleged drug overdose on Sunday in Hisar. The trials will also take place without Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sakshi Malik and silver medallist Anshu Malik, who have opted out due to injuries. “The news shocked and affected everyone at the camp,” said WFI chief coach Jitender Singh. “Pooja (Sihag) is a bright girl and can’t believe something like this happened to her after she earned recognition through the Commonwealth Games medal. She was just promoted to SHO in Rajasthan Police, everything was going good for her and this tragic incident happened. I hope she recovers from this personal loss soon and returns to the mat.” 25-year-old Sihag’s bronze medal in Birmingham rejuvenated her career after she missed out on Tokyo Olympics qualification last year.

India vs Pakistan: Virat Kohli shows signs of return to form in 34-ball 35

Returning to competitive cricket after over a month’s break, Virat Kohli contributed 35 runs before being dismissed by Mohammad Nawaz in the 10 th over as India took on arch-rivals in an asia Cup 2022 group match in Dubai on Sunday. Kohli, who had last played in a T20I series against England in July, came in at number three as early as in the first over after KL Rahul was dismissed for a golden duck. This was Kohli’s 100th T20I for India. The former India skipper got off to a nervy start, as Kohli was dropped by a diving Fakhar Zaman at second slip in the fourth ball of the first over bowled by Naseem Shah. However, Kohli went onto build a 49-run stand for the second wicket with Rohit Sharma before the India skipper departed for 12. Kohli showed glimpses of gradually getting back to his old self with some confident strokeplays, as he brought up three fours and a six in his 34-ball knock. However, Kohli’s innings came to an end early in the 10 th over, when he came charging down,

Asia Cup 2022, Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan stat attack: Afghanistan's landmark match, Farooqi's best figures and more

Sri Lanka were outplayed in the opening game of Asia Cup 2022 after they suffered an eight-wicket defeat to Afghanistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Winning the toss and opting to field, Afghanistan restricted the Lankans for 105, bowling them out in 19.4 overs. Sri Lanka endured a disastrous start after being put into bat, losing three early wickets inside the first two overs. Fazalhaq Farooqi dismissed Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka before Naveen-ul-Haq struck in the second over to get rid of Pathum Nissanka. Bhanuka Rajapaksha (38), who forged a 44-run stand with Danushka Gunathilaka for the fourth wicket ended up as Sri Lanka’s top-scorer. Wickets at regular intervals kept hurting Sri Lanka but it was a 30-run stand for the final wicket between Chamika Karunaratne and Dilshan Madhushanka that helped Sri Lanka surpass 100. Farooqi picked three wickets, Nabi and Mujeeb two wickets a piece and Naveen-ul-haq scalped one as they bundled Sri Lanka for a l

Highlights, England vs South Africa 2nd Test Day 3 in Manchester: ENG level series 1-1 with innings victory

Day 2 report : Ben Stokes and Ben Foakes hit centuries on Friday to help England establish a commanding first-innings lead over South Africa after two days of the second test at Old Trafford. Stokes made 103 for his first century as England full-time test captain, and Foakes weighed in with 113 not out — his highest international knock — as they shared a sixth-wicket partnership of 173. Foakes was still there when England declared on 415-9, with a first-innings advantage of 264 runs. South Africa openers Dean Elgar (11) and Sarel Erwee (12) negotiated nine overs before stumps to close on 23 without loss. The Proteas were rolled over for 151 on day one after opting to bat in Manchester. South Africa leads the three-match series 1-0 after an innings win at Lord’s last week. Stokes marked the release date of the new documentary about his turbulent career with a timely piece of marketing, hitting his 12th test century, while wicketkeeper Foakes made his second hundred after one on deb

England vs South Africa: Ben – Stokes and Foakes – bat England into vast superiority against Proteas

Part of what makes Ben Stokes such a remarkable talent is his ability to grasp a situation, often just as things are looking a little hopeless for his side, and seemingly bend it to his own will. From the latter stages of the World Cup and that innings at Headingley to practically any time England are in the dirt and in desperate need of a wicket, Stokes so often has that special knack of delivering just at the right time. So it proved once again on Day Two at Old Trafford, England’s skipper notching the 12th Test century of his career and ensuring there would be no wobble from his side as they batted themselves into a position of vast superiority in the match. Stokes entered the fray inside the first six overs of the day, England four wickets down and still trailing by 17, a more perilous position than you might first assume – given the relative length of England’s tail – after 13 wickets on Day One, the Test was continuing to move at pace. Anrich Nortje was bowling ferociously,

Neeraj Chopra wins Lausanne Diamond League with 89.08m throw; qualifies for Zurich Finals and World Championships 2023

Javelin star Neeraj Chopra won the Lausanne Diamond League on Friday as the Tokyo Olympic Champion hurled the javelin 89.08 metre with his first throw of the day. With the victory, Neeraj didn’t just qualify for the Zurich Diamond League finals but also breached the qualification standard of the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. The 24-year-old Indian qualified for the Worlds 2023 with his very first throw as the qualification mark was set at 85.20m. As far as the Diamond League finals (7-8 September) are concerned, Neeraj remains 4th in the standings with 15 points and booked his spot in the six-man final. Neeraj’s throw sequence on the day was 89.08m, 85.18m, 0, X, 0, 80.04m. Czech Republic’s Jakub Valejch threw 85.88m to claim the second spot while USA’s Curtis Thompson hurled 83.72m for the third spot. Both of them will also compete in the Diamond League finals, along with Julian Weber (Germany), Anderson Peters (Grenada) and Leandro Ramos (Portugal). World Champi

England vs South Africa: Proteas on back foot after Dean Elgar’s ruesome decision to bat first

International sportsmen are never big on outwardly regretting decisions, but you suspect Dean Elgar might return to his hotel tonight quietly rueing, even if only to himself, his decision to bat at the toss. After a welcomingly slack bowling performance by England in the series’ opening Test at Lord’s last week, South Africa decided to reciprocate here with their own act of generosity, inserting themselves under cloudy Manchester skies and letting England’s bowlers have a good go at them. In truth the South African spirit of generosity began before the toss, the decision to drop Marco Jansen in favour of second spinner Simon Harmer seeming particularly curious, given the former’s performance at Lord’s and the success of the tourists’ seam attack there in general. South Africa’s decision to play two spinners no doubt influenced their decision to bat first, hoping for an advantage bowling last in the Test. On the evidence of the first day, they have not been a judicious pair of choi

Watch: Deepak Chahar ‘Mankads’ Zimbabwe opener Innocent Kaia but let him go with a warning in 3rd ODI

Team India pacer Deepak Chahar ‘Mankaded’ Zimbabwe opener, Innocent Kaia, at the non striker’s end but held back the appeal and let the batter go with just a warning during the third ODI in Harare on Monday (August 22). Zimbabwe, who came out to chase 290-run target, could have lost the wicket on the very first ball of their innings as Chahar ran in and before delivering the ball he removed the bails with Kaia way out of his crease. However, Chahar refused to appeal for the wicket and let Kaia go with just a warning, thus forcing the umpire to signal a dead ball. Notably, Chahar removed Kaia for 6 in his second over by trapping him in front of stumps.

India vs Zimbabwe 3rd ODI: Shubman Gill dedicates ‘special’ ton to his dad, KL Rahul says he is ‘tired’

His heart was racing when he moved to the 90s and the fear of losing out on getting that elusive hundred did grip his mind but Shubhman Gill was determined to make it count this time, especially after getting a bit of ''schooling'' from his father. The 22-year-old, who made his International debut in an ODI in 2019, scored 130 off 97 balls as India posted 289 for eight against Zimbabwe and completed a 3-0 clean sweep of the hosts with a 13-run win. ''My heart was beating when I got into the 90s. I had got out in the 90s thrice before and never got a hundred in International cricket. It's always special to get a hundred,'' Gill said at the presentation ceremony. Gill also topped the run chart in the series with 245 runs at an average of 122.50 to be adjudged both the man-of-the-match and man-of-the-series. ''My father has been my primary coach. I got a bit of schooling the day before yesterday when I was out 33. So this one is for my dad.&

India vs Zimbabwe 3rd ODI stat attack: Shubman Gill breaks Tendulkar, Rohit’s records, India’s most series whitewashes

Sikandar Raza's lion-hearted effort took Zimbabwe on the cusp of a famous victory before India held their nerves to pull off a 13-run win in the third ODI and complete a series sweep at Harare Sports Club on Monday. The final game of the series too was heading India's way until Raza (115 off 95 balls) brought Zimbabwe back into the contest with the support of Brad Evans (28 off 36). The duo shared a 104-run stand of 77 balls for the eighth wicket to raise hopes of a memorable result against their mighty opponents. However, Raza fell to a brilliant catch by Shubman Gill in the penultimate over, as India scraped through. It was Gill who had set up the game for India as he smashed his maiden international hundred to take the visitors to 289 for eight. Zimbabwe's innings ended at 276 in 49.3 overs. The nerve-racking match also witnessed some records being made or broken and we take a look at them in our stat attack: Shubman Gill registered his maiden international hundred

Dhanashree condemns ‘hateful, hurtful’ rumours around her relationship with Yuzvendra Chahal, leg-spinner responds

Amid the rumours around the rift between Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma, the latter broke her silence and shared an emotional post on Instagram on Sunday. The rumours had emerged after Dhanashree reportedly removed ‘Chahal’ from her Instagram profile and the leg spinner as well put up a story with the words, “starting a new life.” Dhanashree shared a long message on her Instagram account and also said that she has been suffering from an ACL ligament injury and was unable to make any significant movement and was under stringent rest. “I had completely lost confidence due to my knee injury that happened while dancing (my last reel) & I landed up tearing my ACL ligament. I have been resting at home & the only movement I have had is from my bed to my couch (along with physiotherapy & rehab every day). But what has also got me through this is the support of my near & dear ones including my husband, my family, and my closest friends,” Dha
