Overs: 9, Maidens: 0, Runs: 36, Wickets: 4, Economy Rate: 4.00. Australia didn’t have much of a total to defend. Mark Taylor’s side made 207/9 in 50 overs with Stuart Law (72 off 105 balls) and Michael Bevan (69 off 110 balls), top-scoring. Ian Healy (31 off 28 balls) provided a handy cameo that helped propel Australia over the 200-mark. The pitch was a challenging one for batting. At the half-way stage, most people would have backed the West Indies to win the match and reach the final. At 2/165 after 41.1 overs, the West Indies looked solid, and they had two well-set batsmen at the crease. Shivnarine Chanderpaul (80 off 126 balls) and captain Richie Richardson (49* off 83) put on a partnership of 72 for the 3rd wicket. Once Glenn McGrath removed Chanderpaul, the West Indies collapsed like a pack of cards. The West Indies lost the game by 5 runs as Australia went onto the World-Cup Final. The West Indies lost their last 8 wickets for 37 runs in the space of 49 balls. Shane Warne, who picked up Courtney Browne (10 off 18 balls) with the first ball he bowled, came back for his last spell. In that spell, he dismissed Otis Gibson, Jimmy Adams, and Ian Bishop with some clever bowling. Flippers, changes in pace and tight lines did the trick as Warne helped Australia win a World Cup classic. Warne’s last spell, included 3 overs, 6 runs, and 3 wickets. Warne performed on the big stage and this would not be the last time he performed on the big stage. 4/29 vs RSA, Edgbaston, Birmingham, 1999 World Cup. Overs: 10, Maidens: 4, Runs: 29, Wickets: 4, Economy Rate: 2.90. Australia reached the 1999 World Cup semi-final after beating South Africa in the last Super Six match. They had a poor start to the tournament, and they had to win every game to reach the final. The 1999 World Cup semi-final was and will remain as one of the greatest ODIs and to be fair, cricket matches of all-time. Edgbaston was the venue for the semi-final between the two Southern Hemisphere teams. South Africa dismissed Australia for 213 in 49.2 overs. Michael Bevan (66 off 101 balls) and captain, Steve Waugh (56 off 76 balls) helped Australia post a modest total on a tricky pitch. Australia needed a big performance from one of their star bowlers to defend the total and reach the final. A tie or a victory for Australia meant they would have reached the final. South Africa needed a win to reach the final. At 0/48 after 12.1 overs, South Africa was in control of the match. Australian captain, Steve Waugh brought Shane Warne into the attack, and the situation changed. Warne bowled one of his best spells. Warne removed Herschelle Gibbs (30 off 36 balls) with a beautiful leg-break pitched outside leg-stump that turned and clipped off-stump. He then bowled Gary Kirsten (18 off 42 balls). Warne tossed the ball up in the air and the ball turned back into the stumps. Kirsten played a loose shot at the wrong stage of the game. Warne removed the late South African captain, Hansie Cronje (0 off 2 balls) for his third duck in World Cup encounters against Australia. Cronje nicked the ball to Mark Waugh at first slip. Later Warne came back and got the big wicket of Jacques Kallis (53 off 92 balls). Warne tossed it up and extracted just enough turn to create an error. Kallis lobbed the ball to Australia captain, Steve Waugh who was waiting at the cover for the catch. Warne bowled an amazing 4 maidens in a World Cup semi-final. Also, he went under 3 an over, which is brilliant in ODIs for any era. When he removed Gibbs, he kept pumping his teammates up, which lifted the team’s spirits after South Africa’s positive start. Again, Warne performed when his team needed it the most.  8/71 vs England, GABBA, Brisbane, 1994: 1st innings bowling figures: Overs: 21.2 Maidens: 7, Runs: 39, Wickets: 3, economy rate: 1.83 & 2nd innings bowling figures: Overs; 50.2 overs, Maidens: 22, Runs: 81, Wickets: 8, Economy Rate: 1.41. First Ashes series at home for Shane Warne and he had an instant impact as he ripped through the English batting line-up. This was the 2nd of Warne’s 10 10-wicket match hauls in his Test career. His performance in the second innings remained his best performance throughout his Test career. England required a then-world record of 428 to win and fell 183 runs short of the total. Shane Warne weaved his magic and destroyed England. His first wicket was England wicketkeeper, Alec Stewart (33 off 40 balls), who he bowled with a beautiful flipper. Then the ‘Sheikh of Tweak’ dismissed Mike Atherton (23 off 40 balls), plumb in front. Warne ended a 160-run partnership between Graeme Hick and Graham Thorpe, dismissing the latter, with a looping delivery that delivery slipped though Thorpe’s (67 off 229 balls) bat and pad, and bowled him. One run later, Hick (80 off 227 balls) misjudged a ball pitched outside leg-stump that bounced and it caught his glove. Ian Healy took the catch. Graham Gooch (56 off 137 balls) was Warne’s 5th wicket. Warne deceived Gooch with a delivery that had revs on it. Gooch under-edged it to Healy. Warne bowled Phil DeFreitas around his legs, and then Warne trapped Martin McCague, plumb in front, with a googly. Darren Gough was Warne’s 8th wicket. Gough nicked the ball to Mark Waugh standing at first slip. England lost their last 7 wickets for 104 runs. Warne was like a magician that day. It wouldn’t be the last time Warne tormented the English in his Test career. Warne only lost one out of eight Test series against England throughout his career. 5 moments of brilliance from

  Bangladeshi young guns create history.   The under-19 World Cup final for 2020 had it all. Subcontinent neighbors India and Bangladesh reached the final without dropping a game. Bangladesh had one game washed out against Pakistan. Other than that game, they won all their games. India dominated their way to their third consecutive under-19 cricket World Cup final. Both sides had players with previous first-class cricket experience. It promised to be a cracker of a game and it did not disappoint.   India batted first at JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom on Sunday evening. Rising star, Yashasvi Jaiswal opened with Divyansh Saxena. Bangladeshi fast-bowler, Avishek Das bowled an aggressive spell of fast bowling. The pacer was in the Indian openers’ face, sledging, and death-staring them. Divyansh Saxena was the first batsman to depart for 2 off 17 balls. Mahmudul Hasan Joy caught him off the bowling of Avishek Das, 4 balls into the 7th over. ​ Yashasvi Jaiswal showed why he is a star of the future with a brilliant 88 off 121 balls which contained 8 fours and 1 six. India was in a decent position with Jaiswal and Tilak Verma putting on a partnership of 96 for the 2nd wickets.   Tanzid Hasan Sakib removed Verma for 38 off 65 balls. India lost captain Priyam Garg for 7 off 9 balls to Rakibul Hasan and once Jaiswal departed, India collapsed like a pack of cards. India was 4/156 after 39.5 overs when Jaiswal departed. 7.4 overs later, they were 177. Nobody except Jaiswal, Verma, and no.5, Dhruv Jurel passed double figures for India with the bat. Jurel was run-out as there was confusion between him and Atharva Ankolekar. Both batsmen ended up running towards the non-striker’s end. ​ For the Bangladeshis, Avishek Das picked up 3/40 off 9 overs, while Shariful Islam and Tanzid Hasan Sakib picked up 2/31 off 10 overs and 2/28 off 8.2 overs. ​ With 177 to chase off 50 overs, the Bangladeshis would definitely have fancied themselves for a maiden under-19 World Cup title. Their openers gave them a perfect start with 50 runs off 8.5 overs. India needed something real quick and the impressive young leg-spinner, Ravi Bishnoi delivered the goods for his team. Bishnoi snared 4 quick wickets within the space of 7.2 overs. Bishnoi removed Tanzid Hasan Sakib, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Towhid Hridoy and Shahadat Hossain. The situation got worse for Bangladesh during that period as the opener, Parvez Hossain Emon, went off injured around he 14th over the mark. ​   The situation was difficult with the score at 6/103, with both Shamim Hossain and Avishek Das being dismissed by Sushant Mishra. However, the young opener Emon did show a lot of courage to come back and bat with his captain, Akbar Ali. The part-time leg-spinner, Yashasvi Jaswal dismissed Emon for 47 off 79 balls. The score was 7/143 when Emon departed. Rain reduced to the match to 46-over affair and the target for Bangladesh was 170. Bangladesh captain, Akbar Ali and Rakibul Hasan helped guide the Bangladeshis home. Bangladesh became the under-19 World champions. Akbar Ali’s team won the game with 3 wickets and 3.5 overs to spare. The team ran on to the pitch with their nation’s flag, screaming with joy, and an unfortunate scuffle broke out between some of the Indian and Bangladeshi players. The scuffle led to 3 Bangladeshi and 2 Indian players receiving punishments from the ICC.​ For, India, with the ball, Ravi Bishnoi finished with 4/30 off 10 overs and Sushant Mishra bowled 7 overs for figures of 2/25. ​   Bangladeshi fans will remember the final for a long time. India missed out on a 5th u-19 World Cup. Yashasvi Jaiswal received the man of the tournament for his performances. He scored 400 runs at an average of 133.33, with 3 half-centuries and 1 century. The strong Bangladeshi contingent was amazing in support of their young team. They were vocal and supported their boys throughout the tournament.   Captain, Akbar Ali, summed it up as a dream come true. He hopes that this tournament will be the starting stone for his team as they aim to achieve higher honors for their country. The Indian players will also hope they can reach higher honors for their country.     The likes of Ravi Bishnoi and Yashasvi Jaiswal will also aim for higher honors for their nation. The game was a wonderful way to conclude the 2020 Under-19 World Cup and a few players from all nations will represent their nation at the international level.

ICC World Cup: New Zealand stun India to reach the World Final The 2019 World Cup semi-final featured two teams with contrasting form heading into the fixture. India topped the group stages with one loss. New Zealand finished fourth after losing their last three league games on the trot to Pakistan, Australia, and England. India were overwhelming favorites for the fixture and rightly so. Form batsmen, form bowlers, and the support of a billion people were all in their favor. However, their campaign came to a dramatic end at the hands of Kane Williamson’s men.   The game went for 2 days because of the wet weather that Manchester offered. New Zealand finished the 1st day of the semi on 5/211. Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson stitched, what turned out to be a match-winning partnership with a 65-run stand for the third wicket. Although the partnership came off 102 balls, the partnership helped keep the Blackcaps in the hunt. The pitch was quite a tricky pitch to bat on and life was difficult for new batsmen at the crease. India bowled well with each of the bowlers picking up one wicket apiece. The play would resume on the reserve day, which was Wednesday 10th of June 2019, adding a further 28 runs. They lost 3 more wickets from their remaining 3.5 overs and ended their innings on 239/8 from 50 overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up 3/43. Ravindra Jadeja had a splendid time in the field snaring figures of 1/34 of his 10 overs with 1 maiden. He also took two catches and pulled off a stunning run out from the deep. For New Zealand, Taylor and Williamson both scored gritty half-centuries to get New Zealand to a competitive score on a tough pitch.   India had to chase 240 off 50 overs to reach their 4th World Cup final. They got off to a horrible start. They were 5/3 after 6 overs and were 24/4 after 10 overs. Jimmy Neesham took a one-handed ripper to get rid of Dinesh Karthik for 8. Matt Henry removed the Indian top three. However, it was Kiwi spearhead, Trent Boult, who picked up the big wicket of Virat Kohli for one. Kohli has scores of 9, 1, and 1 in the three World Cup semi-final appearances until date. The ball struck Kohli LBW for 1. He reviewed the decision and an umpire’s call gave New Zealand the big wicket of Kohli. The top three batsmen of India all went for one. Although Neesham dropped a sitter off Rishabh Pant, New Zealand was still in control of the game. Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya both fell to the guile of left-arm spinner, Mitchell Santner when the score was 71 and 92. After 30.3 overs, New Zealand had India reeling at 92/6 off 30.3 overs. Then, ensued a brilliant 116-run partnership between all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja and Indian great, MS Dhoni off 104 balls. Jadeja played a blinder of 77 runs off 59 balls with 4 fours and sixes. MS Dhoni played well for his 50 off 72 balls. New Zealand was desperate for a wicket and Trent Boult delivered for New Zealand. Trent Boult picked up Jadeja. The game changed from there. One could sense the shift in momentum to New Zealand when Jadeja departed in the 47th over. Then came the penultimate over. Dhoni smashed the first ball for six. Then Martin Guptill ran Dhoni out of the next ball. Guptill ran in from the boundary and hit the stumps. It was an excellent display of fielding from the New Zealand opening batsman. Former New Zealand wicketkeeper Ian Smith had great moments in the commentary box. His commentary was full of passion. Smith’s words of “is this the World Cup?” will resonate with Kiwi cricket fans and many cricket fans for a long time. Ferguson then cleaned up Bhuvaneshwar with a slower delivery, and Jimmy Neesham removed Chahal in the final over to give New Zealand a major victory. Tom Latham took the catch and New Zealand on the match by 18 runs. The Blackcaps reached their second consecutive World Cup final. India, well another ICC tournament knockout phase departure. That also to go along with two final defeats to sub-continent neighbors, Sri Lanka in the 2014 ICC World T20 and Pakistan in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy. The times ahead for the two nations will be interesting. Both teams will fancy their chances at this year’s T20 World Cup and also the Test Championship.
