Velocity suffered a 16-run defeat in the Women's T20 Challenge but still qualified for the final on the basis of a better net run-rate, knocking out victors Trailblazers from the tournament in Pune on Thursday. Velocity will face Supernovas in the summit clash on Saturday. Invited to bat, Sabbhineni Meghana and Jemimah Rodrigues smashed scintillating fifties to help the defending champions post a huge 190 for five, the highest total in the history of the tournament. But they needed to restrict Velocity to 159 to become the second team to qualify for the final but it was not to be as Kiran Navgire had other ideas. The 27-year-old all-rounder from Maharashtra lit up the night sky with five fours and as many sixes on way to her 34-ball 69 to take Velocity across the 150-mark and on the doorstep of the final. The Trailblazers bowlers, led by Poonam Yadav (2/33) and Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/44), eventually managed to restrict Velocity to 174 for nine to also open their account but … [Read more...] about Trailblazers Beat Velocity By 16 Runs But Crash Out Of Women’s T20 Challenge On Net Run-rate | Cricket News

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha on Thursday made it official to the Cricket Association of Bengal that he is "not willing" to play for the state team in upcoming Ranji Trophy knockouts. This effectively brings an end to Saha's glorious career with Bengal from where he made his Ranji debut in November 2007 and went on to play 122 first-class and 102 List A matches. "The Cricket Association of Bengal wanted Wriddhiman Saha to play for Bengal at this crucial juncture especially when Bengal would be fighting in the knockout stage in a bid to win the Ranji Trophy after becoming the top ranked team in the country at the end of the Group Stage," CAB president Avishek Dalmiya said in a statement. "I had expressed this to Wriddhiman and had requested him to reconsider his decision. However, Wriddhiman has now communicated to us that he is not willing to play the Ranji Knockouts." The 37-year-old, who has played 122 first-class matches, has also left from their official team … [Read more...] about Wriddhiman Saha “Not Willing” To Play For Bengal In Ranji Trophy Knockouts | Cricket News

The KL Rahul -led Lucknow Super Giants' Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign ended on Wednesday as his team lost the Eliminator to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Chasing a target of 208, LSG looked on track in the chase until the time Rahul was at the crease. The LSG skipper scored 79 off 58 balls at a strike-rate of 136.20.

Lucknow Super Giants lost the IPL 2022 Eliminator to Royal Challengers Bangalore by 14 runs on Wednesday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and with that their maiden season in the tournament came to an end. It was a disappointing end for the team as they had several opportunities of driving home the initial advantage given to them by their bowlers. But some clumsy fielding meant the duo of Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik took RCB to a total of 207 runs, which turned out to be a bit too much for KL Rahul 's men to chase. Throughout the match, the broadcast cameras kept going back to LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir , who was a man full of emotions on the sidelines as he witnessed his wards in action. Gambhir is a passionate leader on and off the pitch and that was visible in his reactions.

Captain Robinho was outstanding for the Bangladeshi champions, scoring one brilliant goal and setting up another, but they'll need to wait for the result of the later match between ATK Mohun Bagan and Maziya Sports & Recreation for their fate to be determined once and for all. With all four teams in the group starting the final match-day on three points, both Gokulam Kerala and Bashundhara had all to play for and both went close to scoring within five minutes, with Robinho seeing an effort deflected wide at one end, and Jithin MS going close at the other. But the Bangladeshi side took the initiative from then on, racking up 14 shots to three in the first half, seven of which were taken by the lesser-known Robinho, who forced Rakshit Dagar into a brilliant save on 27 minutes as pressure grew on the Kings' I-League opponents. Nuha Marong Krubally, forward of Bashundhara Kings (BAN) celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal against Gokulam Kerala FC during the … [Read more...] about AFC Cup: Gokulam Kerala lose to Bashundhara Kings, campaign ends

Rising to the occasion, Indian men's hockey team slammed six goals in the final quarter for a crushing 16-0 victory against Indonesia, a result that took the holders into the knockout stage of the Asia Cup but shut the World Cup door on Pakistan in Jakarta on Thursday. India needed to win the Pool A contest by at least a 15-0 margin to qualify and the young players of the side delivered under pressure. Both India and Pakistan finished on four points each in Pool A behind Japan but the defending champions qualified for the Super 4s due to better goal difference (1). Pakistan had lost 2-3 to Japan earlier in the day. The result not only pushed Pakistan out of the tournament but also dashed their hopes of World Cup qualification since only the top three teams here will be given tickets for the big event. India, being the hosts, will play the World Cup later in the year and hence Hockey India decided to send young players to this tournament for exposure. Dipsan Tirkey (5 goals) and … [Read more...] about Asia Cup Hockey: India Beat Indonesia 16-0, Qualify For Super 4s | Hockey News
