India vs South Africa, T20 World Cup: A proper test of Men in Blue's title credentials

Rilee Rossouw, David Miller, Rilee Rossouw — that’s three centuries for South Africa in their last four T20Is.

T20 World Cup: Why Pakistan would want India to win against South Africa

Pakistan’s 2022 T20 World Cup campaign in Australia has not got off a start which the Men in Green would have wanted. Two defeats, two last-ball defeats that too (Against India and Zimbabwe), have put Pakistan in a tough spot in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup, and chances of qualification for the semi-finals doubtful. T20 World Cup: Full coverage | Schedule | Results | Points Table | News | Photos After two matches, Pakistan are placed fifth out of the six teams, with no points to their name but a better Net Run Rate (NRR) (-0.050) than compared to sixth placed Netherlands (-1.625).

Pakistan play Netherlands on Sunday (30 October), and they will round off the Super 12 stage with games against South Africa (3 November) and Bangladesh (6 November).

Pakistan legend Wasim Akram admits getting addicted to cocaine after retirement

Legendary fast bowler and former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has revealed that he got addicted to cocaine after the end of his playing career. However, the 1992 World Cup-winner, who took more than 900 international wickets before retiring in 2003, said that he quit it following the death of his first wife. Akram said that he began using cocaine while working as a television expert around the world. In an interview with the Times, the 56-year old revealed that he has mentioned about the addiction in his new autobiography. “The culture of fame in South Asia is all consuming, seductive and corrupting. You can go to 10 parties a night, and some do. And it took its toll on me,” Akram was quoted as saying by BBC. After making his international debut in 1984, Wasim played 104 Tests and 356 one-day internationals for Pakistan, winning the 1992 World Cup. He led Pakistan in 25 Tests and 109 ODIs between 1993 and 2000 and is widely regarded as one of the best bowlers of all time. Accordin

'To hell with the Spirit of Game': Hardik Pandya says nothing is wrong with run-out at non-striker's end

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya feels any controversy over run-out at the non-striker’s end is unnecessary as the dismissal is part of the rule. He also took a dig at critics who bring in the ‘Spirit of the Game’ argument every time a run-out at the non-striker’s end takes place. “Because you gave the example, we need to stop making a fuss about this. It’s a rule, simple as that. To hell with the Spirit of the Game, if it’s there, remove the rules, simple as that. The ones who have problems, good for them, that’s fine,” Hardik said on ICC Review podcast. Hardik added that he would be okay if a bowler runs him out at the non-striker’s end as it is the batter’s mistake. “Personally, I have no problem. If I am out, if I am walking out and someone runs me out, fair enough, it’s my mistake, not the bowlers. It is using the rules to one’s advantage. Simple as that, let’s not make a big deal, that’s it,” he added. The run-out at the non-striker’s end recently once again became a hot topic
