Pujara: South Africa’s confidence in Jansen paying off

–Fixtures | Squads | Points table | Tournament IndexTop Story: Klaasen sends England’s title-defence hopes spirallingHeinrich Klaasen crumpled to his haunches in a dripping mess after every shot. In between whiles, he flayed England’s bowlers for a 61-ball century to set up an emphatic South Africa victory at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.The brutality of Klaasen’s 109 from just 67 balls all told matched the harshness of the heat and humidity which had also left England bowler David Willey cramping throughout South Africa’s innings, ending on 399 for 7 and requiring the second-highest successful run chase in ODI history. England capitulated instead, crashing to 170 all out in 22 overs and suffering their heaviest ODI defeat.Click here for the full reportMatch analysis: Classy Klaasen digs deep to make Wankhede his ColosseumHeinrich Klaasen brought up his maiden World Cup ton off 61 balls•Associated Press

Heinrich Klaasen was so spent by the time he faced his 61st delivery, the one he pulled wide of fine leg to bring up his fourth ODI hundred, that almost immediately after he raised his bat in celebration and screamed, his knees gave way and he ended up in a squat. His face contorted between unbridled exhilaration expressed directly at Mark Wood, to ultimate exhaustion and eventually to the realisation of the unquestionable enormity of the moment: this was not just his first century at a World Cup, it was a century against the defending champions in a match South Africa earmarked as must-win after their chastening defeat to Netherlands earlier in the week.As the emotions sunk in, Klaasen composed himself, and acknowledged his team-mates and the crowd, which included his wife and daughter, and the heavens. Then, he went straight to Wood to apologise, several times. Wood settled on a fist-bump or three and Klaasen could have his moment back but only until the next wave of weariness set in. Then it was back onto his haunches to try to conserve the energy to bat to the end, and summon the reserves to keep finding the boundary. It’s a small ground but today it felt like a cauldron and Klaasen had to both absorb and transfer the heat.Read the full analysis from Firdose Moonda in MumbaiMust Watch: What’s gone wrong for England1:40

What’s gone wrong for England?

Match report: Sri Lanka overcome Engelbrecht-led resistance to finally open their accountAn unbeaten 91 from Sadeera Samarawickrama shepherded home a tricky chase as Sri Lanka overcame a resilient Dutch outfit and finally got points on the board. The result means Sri Lanka join Afghanistan, Netherlands, Bangladesh and England on two points after four games; they did however go past Afghanistan on net run rate – before England plummeted later in the evening – to move off the very bottom of the table.Set a target of 263, the chase was built around key partnerships – the first a counter-attacking 30-ball 34 between Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, to recover from the early loss of Kusal Perera, followed by more substantial stands of 52, 77 and 76 – with Samarawickrama a key cog throughout.Click here for the full reportMatch analysis: Sri Lanka find new lionhearts in sloppy-to-sublime performance7:49

Maharoof: The new-ball spell of Madushanka and Rajitha set up the win

It’s the 47th over of Netherlands’ innings. Logan van Beek, running between the wickets, is nowhere near safety and has resigned to fate. Substitute fielder Dunith Wellalage flicks the throw from cover to Chamika Karunaratne, who botches a simple run out chance at the bowler’s end. Van Beek gets to his maiden ODI half-century.Then in the penultimate over, van Beek heaves Kasun Rajitha’s slower ball to the deep midwicket. Charith Asalanka covers some ground first before throwing himself full stretch on the edge of the boundary. It was towards the shorter side and momentum could’ve taken it over, but for Asalanka’s athleticism and balance.Read the full analysis from Shashank Kishore in LucknowNews headlines Rahul Dravid has expressed disagreement with the two “average” pitch ratings that ICC match referees have dished out in the first 11 days of the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Bond: NZ vs India’s top three could be the decider

Ask any ardent Indian fan which is their second-favourite cricket team, and New Zealand will remain a common answer. Ask the same set of fans which team spooks them the most when it comes to ICC events: New Zealand will once again be the unanimous reply. Why you ask.Southampton 2021. Nagpur 2016 and Dubai 2021. Manchester 2019.It’s probably the memories of the last one here that has most Indian fans flinch. And as much as India would like to deny it, New Zealand have been their bogey team over the years. There are numbers to back this up. In all ICC events since 1992 (considering only the final from the WTC 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles), India have beaten New Zealand just once in nine attempts.Full previewTeam newsIndia (probable): 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 KL Rahul (wk), 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 Suryakumar Yadav/Ishan Kishan, 8 Shardul Thakur/Mohammed Shami, 9 Jasprit Bumrah, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Mohammed SirajNew Zealand (probable): 1 Devon Conway, 2 Will Young, 3 Rachin Ravindra, 4 Tom Latham (capt & wk), 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Glenn Phillips, 7 Mark Chapman, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 Matt Henry, 10 Lockie Ferguson, 11 Trent Boult

Bangladesh batter rescued his side from 80 for 4 to help post 291, before the hosts’ top five combined to win with ease

ESPNcricinfo staff20-Dec-2023

Soumya Sarkar cracked a career-best 169 out of Bangladesh’s total of 291 in the second ODI against New Zealand, but the visitors still fell well short in Nelson. Henry Nicholls hit 95 and Will Young continued his good form by smashing 89, and each of the hosts’ other top five batters helped them ease their way to the chase, which was completed with 22 balls and seven wickets in the bank.As a result, New Zealand went 2-0 up in the three-match series, having won the first ODI in Dunedin by 44 runs on Sunday.Opening the batting on Wednesday, Bangladesh slipped to 80 for 4 in the 17th over, with Jacob Duffy having struck twice for New Zealand. Regular wickets had forced Soumya to slow down after a quick start, during which he had moved to 26 off his first 23 deliveries, including hitting six boundaries.However, Soumya joined Mushfiqur Rahim to resurrect the innings. While Mushfiqur took his time to get going, Soumya kept ticking steadily, getting to his fifty from 58 balls with a boundary off Josh Clarkson to start the 21st over. Both batters hit the occasional boundary while keeping the scoreboard moving with singles and twos, before Duffy broke the game open. He had Mushfiqur caught behind for 45 in the 35th over, thus ending a stand of 91 in 18 overs.But Soumya then added 61 with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, in the process getting to his third ODI century off 116 balls at the beginning of the 40th over, though he was dropped by Young when on 92. But from 102 off 119 balls at one stage, Soumya hit 67 from his next 32 deliveries in the death overs. That aggression featured nine fours and two sixes – 13 of his other fours had all come earlier – before Bangladesh lost three wickets to Will O’Rourke in the final over.But Bangladesh still posted their highest score while batting first away from home against New Zealand, and started the defence of 291 by bowling two tight overs. Yet, New Zealand ended the powerplay at 61 without loss, as Young and Rachin Ravindra, fresh after pocketing his first IPL cheque, combined to hit nine boundaries. And though debutant legspinner Rishad Hossain ended that union at 76 by having Ravindra caught for 45 in the 11th over, more trouble awaited Bangladesh.Nicholls arrived at No. 3, and combined with Young to add 128 at almost a run a ball. He managed only 3 from his first 13 deliveries, while Young got to his eighth ODI fifty off 51 balls in the 17th over. But the pair maintained a consistent pace throughout their stand, rarely seeming to be in a hurry to hunt the total down, as Nicholls’ first boundary came only off his 17th ball.Young rode his luck twice – first on 76, when Towhid Hridoy couldn’t grab a difficult chance at extra cover, and then on 83, when he used DRS to reverse a caught-down-the-leg-side decision – before eventually perishing for 89 in the 33rd over. By then, Nicholls had got to a fifty of his own, which he could not convert into a century when he pulled Shoriful Isam to midwicket in the 41st over.Nicholls’ only ODI century had come almost five years ago in January 2019, but he wouldn’t have minded seeing Tom Latham and Tom Blundell wrap the game up for New Zealand. All that, despite Soumya’s monumental knock – the second-highest by a Bangladesh batter in ODIs – which went in vain.

Defending champions Saurashtra meanwhile get back to winnings ways with Pujara breaching the 20,000-run barrier in first-class cricket

The Mumbai juggernaut rolls onAfter two bonus-point wins over Bihar and Andhra, Mumbai beat Kerala by 232 runs in Thiruvananthapuram to catapult to the top of Group B standings. Set 327 for victory, Kerala folded for 94 in just 33 overs, with left-arm spinner Shams Mulani picking up 5 for 44 in the second innings. The result leaves Kerala languishing in the bottom half of the eight-team pool, having managed two draws and an outright defeat in three matches.Returning to lead Kerala a day after he turned up for India in a T20I against Afghanistan in Bengaluru, Sanju Samson returned scores of 38 and 15 not out. Shivam Dube, Samson’s India team-mate in Bengaluru, fared much better for Mumbai, hitting 51 in Mumbai’s first-innings 251. Mumbai fast bowler Mohit Avasthi picked up career-best figures of 7 for 57 in the first innings, while Ajinkya Rahane, the captain, had his first runs of the season (16 off 65) after two golden ducks previously.Saurashtra’s Chirag Jani poses with his Player-of-the-Match medal•PTI

The comeback storiesAfter failing to force an outright win after calling the shots against Jharkhand and being spun out by Haryana at home, defending champions Saurashtra notched up their first win of the season by beating Vidarbha. The 238-run margin of victory boosted their quotient, placing them fourth in Group A.Related

Such a victory margin seemed a tough ask when Umesh Yadav picked up four wickets to skittle Saurashtra for 206 in the first innings. Vidarbha fared poorly, being bowled out for 78 to concede a massive first-innings advantage. Cheteshwar Pujara then buckled down to hit 66, one of three half-centurions in the innings. Along the way, he passed 20,000 runs in first-class cricket. A target of 373 proved too much for Vidarbha, who were bowled out for 134.Allrounder Chirag Jani ended the game with a match haul of 9 for 65, while Jitesh Sharma, fresh off national duty, made scores of 28 and 1 for Vidarbha. The loss notwithstanding, Vidarbha are still second in the pool following two big wins to open the season.After a frustrating start to the season, where their game against Rajasthan was heavily weather-affected, Vijay Hazare Trophy champions Haryana have now recorded two wins on the bounce.

Tamil Nadu, Puducherry roarHis career was at the crossroads, but N Jagadeesan took the third round by storm, hitting a career-best unbeaten 245 as Tamil Nadu beat Railways in Coimbatore by an innings and 129 runs to storm back into knockouts contention. This was their first win of the season following a massive season-opening loss to Gujarat and a frustrating weather-affected draw against Tripura. R Sai Kishore, the captain, also contributed significantly, hitting a half-century in Tamil Nadu’s 489 while also taking seven wickets in the match.Puducherry, TN’s southern neighbours, are also in knockouts contention after notching up their second outright win in three games. Their Madhya Pradesh recruit, fast bowler Gaurav Yadav, who took a ten-for in their win against Delhi went one better this time, returning a match haul of 13 for 93 as Uttarakhand were beaten by 55 runs in a tight game in Dehradun.Baroda currently top Group D with three wins in as many games, Puducherry are in second place, while MP beat Delhi for their first win of the season to be placed third.File photo: The weather disrupted plenty of matches in the third round as well•AFP/Getty Images

Delhi in relegation contentionDDCA continues to be in the headlines for administrative issues, and the team’s performances have mirrored the off-field drama. Delhi’s third-round loss to MP would sting a bit more, considering they pocketed a crucial 34-run first-innings lead, but their batting let them down a second time as they folded for 131 in pursuit of 218. Delhi, who’ve already seen senior players like Nitish Rana, Kulwant Khejroliya and Dhruv Shorey leave for other teams, sit at the bottom of Group D with a solitary point.Weather continues to have a saySeveral top players have voiced their concerns over the Ranji Trophy scheduling. Some have asked for a calendar rejig, while others want the northern sides to play down south first up to avoid chances of weather interruptions. But those debates are perhaps for later, at the captains and coaches conclave BCCI conducts at the end of every season.For now, UP vs Bihar, Punjab vs Tripura, Chandigarh vs Gujarat, and Bengal vs Chhattisgarh were all weather-affected with not even the first innings honours decided. For UP, this is their third-straight weather-hit game, while Chandigarh and Punjab have also copped it badly, with fog and bad light.

O presidente do Santos, Andres Rueda, ignorou os boatos sobre o futuro dos volantes Rodrigo Fernández e Vinícius Zanocelo e reforçou a confiança na permanência da dupla para a próxima temporada. O uruguaio fez uma postagem em rede social deixando o futuro em aberto enquanto Zanocelo tem seu nome constantemente ligado ao Palmeiras.

– No momento em que a gente traz já colocamos um valor ou um opção de compra que terminado o empréstimo é vontade do Santos exercer ou não. Isso não se discute, se o Santos quiser exercer está no direito e é inquestionável. Isso serve para o Zanocelo, para o Rodrigo Fernández, Soteldo… todos esses jogadores que trouxemos emprestados.

– Fora isso, a gente negocia com o jogador que, no caso de exercemos a compra, já negocia um novo contrato de trabalho, estipulando prazo, salário, ou seja, todas as condições também para o clube não ficar refém. Todos esses jogadores que a gente pretende exercer nesse exemplo do Zanocelo, Fernández e Soteldo, no momento certo, a vontade do clube vai ser colocada ao clube de origem e nesse momento o contrato do jogador está tudo acertado – esclareceu o dirigente.

Fernández está emprestado ao Santos pelo Guarani-PAR até o final do ano, com opção de compra fixada em cerca de R$ 8 milhões. Zanocelo chegou ao Peixe por empréstimo da Ferroviária em junho do ano passado com vínculo até maio de 2023. A opção de compra está estipulada em 2 milhões de Euros (cerca de R$ 10,6 milhões). O Comitê de Gestão do Santos já aprovou a negociação.

– O que acontece é que jogadores que tem uma performance boa no período do empréstimo dizem que tem um salário mais baixo e devia ser um pouco mais reconhecido. A gente conversa, mas o clube está garantido. Existe um contrato que vai entrar em vigor com prazo de três ou quatro anos e tem total tranquilidade. Isso se aplica a todos os jogadores – completou.

After a stunning debut innings as a finisher, Rizvi hopes to continue in that role in CSK’s season of change

Deivarayan Muthu29-Mar-2024

After Rashid Khan had Shivam Dube holing out for 51 off 23 balls, with just ten balls left in Chennai Super Kings’ innings, on Tuesday, 33,400-odd spectators at Chepauk were expecting MS Dhoni to walk out to bat for the first time this season. The cameras also kept panning to the OG finisher, but instead, CSK unleashed their new finisher, Sameer Rizvi, on Rashid.The 20-year-old viciously slog-swept his first ball in the IPL, off arguably the best spinner in the world, for a six over square leg. Ravindra Jadeja, an outstanding finisher in his own right, Dwayne Bravo, who has also finished games for CSK in the past, and some other players and staff exchanged high-fives in the dug-out after Rizvi had announced his arrival.Three balls later, Rizvi dared to charge at a 96kph dart from Rashid and swung so hard that he cleared long-off, despite mis-hitting it. Chepauk started warming up to the new finisher. When Rizvi tried to smash another six, off Mohit Sharma in the last over, he was caught at the long-on boundary. The damage? Fourteen off six balls with the strike rate reading 233.33 in his first IPL innings.Related

Hussey on Rizvi's first-ball six off Rashid: 'That's just crazy, isn't it?'

“When Rashid came to bowl in the 19th over, the coach [Stephen Fleming] told me if a wicket falls, you will go out to bat,” Rizvi told reporters in Chennai. “After that, it was set in my mind that it was the 19th over and it was a spinner bowling and if they are sending me at this point of the match, anyone who walks in will be expected to smash boundaries. So, in my head, only one thing was going on – I have to go out and hit it big – I was clear about that.”Rizvi had made his IPL debut in the season-opener against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Chennai last week. He didn’t get to bat in that game but admitted to feeling nervous in the field, in front of a packed Chepauk crowd. Facing Rashid, though, Rizvi showed no nerves.”Before I stepped onto the ground at the team meeting, I received my debut cap,” Rizvi recalled. “And that’s when I found out I was playing the first match. I was a little nervous when I was fielding but I never got to bat. But, in the second match, I mellowed down a bit and was not feeling nervous; there was no such pressure. I think I got used to the crowd after the match, so that’s why I was not feeling much pressure.”
