Gurbaz's fifty helps Afghanistan beat Ireland to make series 2-1

Afghanistan have won by 22 runs
in the third match of the five-match T20I series against hosts Ireland on
Friday (August 12) in Belfast. Coming from 2-0 behind, the visitors narrowed
the gap by winning this match. Ireland, however, still lead the series by 2-1.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/afghan-t20-12_08_2022.jpg">After losing the toss and batting
in Belfast, Afghanistan scored 189 runs, losing 5 wickets in 20 overs.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored a beautiful half-century for the team. He hit 8 fours and 1 six
on his way to a 35-ball 53, which earned him the man-of-the-match award.
Najibullah Zadran played a cameo
of 42 runs off 18 balls with 5 sixes. Besides, Hazratullah Zazai scored 39 off
40 balls and Ibrahim Zadran scored 36 off 22 balls. Josh Little took two
wickets for Ireland.
Ireland didn't get off to a good
start chasing the target. The team lost Paul Stirling in the first over of Ireland
innings. Captain Andy Balbirnie also got out in the third over. After that,
Lorcan Tucker tried, but Harry Tector and Curtis Campher weren’t able to support
him and were dismissed. 
Tucker departed with 31 runs off
21 balls but George Dockrell continued to fight. In the end, Fionn Hand also supported
him. But Hand's 18-ball 36 and Dockrell's unbeaten 37-ball 58 only narrowed the
margin of defeat.
In the end, Ireland’s innings
restricted at 167 after losing 9 wickets in 20 overs. For the Afghans, Naveen-ul-Haq
took three wickets, while Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman picked up two
wickets each.

Balbirnie, Tucker star in Ireland's big win against Afghanistan 

Ireland have finally managed to
win a match after losing seven T20Is and three ODIs straight. They beat the
strong Afghanistan side by 7 wickets on Tuesday (August 9) in Belfast. With the
win, they are leading the five-match T20I series by 1-0.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/balbirnie-10_08_2022.jpg">Batting first, with the help of
opener Usman Ghani’s brilliant half-century and another opener Rahmanullah
Gurbaz’s 26-run innings from 22 balls, Afghanistan started well. But they lost
the momentum in the middle as no batsmen were able to play any effective
innings. In the end, Ibrahim Zadran’s quick 29-run unbeaten innings off 18
balls gave the hosts a fighting total of 168 runs in 20 overs losing 7 wcikets.
Pacer Barry McCarthy was the
standout bowler for Ireland with 3 wickets. Spinner George Dockrell also took
two wickets.
Chasing the target, Paul Stirling
and Andy Balbirnie gave Ireland a perfect start. Though, Stirling got out after
scoring 31 runs, Balbirnie and in-form batsman Lorcan Tucker set up the chase
very well with half-centuries. Balbirnie scored 51 runs off 38 balls and Tucker
played an innings of 50-run off 32 balls. After their wicket, the chase slowed
down a bit as the hosts needed 13 runs in the last over of the match.
But Harry Tector and Dockrell kept
their nerve cool in the last over and picked up the win for Ireland. Tector
remained unbeaten on 25 runs and Dockrell was unbeaten on 10 runs.

Debutant Masood, Najibullah star in Afghanistan's win 

Afghanistan have started the T20I
series with a win again against Zimbabwe after their dominance in the ODI series
which they won by 3-0. They beat the hosts by 6 wickets on Saturday (June 11)
in Harare.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/afg-vs-zim-11_06_2022.jpg">Batting first, batting woes for Zimbabwe
continued in the T20Is too after the ODI series as they lost wickets regularly
from the beginning. Wessley Madhevere (32) and Regis Chakabva (29) tried but no
batsmen were able to support them. However, in-form Sikandar Raza played a good
innings of 45 runs off 31 balls to gather a fighting total for the team. In the
end, Zimbabwe scored 159 runs in 20 overs losing 8 wickets.
Debutant Nijat Masood was the
pick of the bowler for Afghanistan with 3 wickets.
Chasing the target, Afghanistan
started off very well as both the openers- Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah
Gurbaz were in attacking mood from the start and they put on a 83-run partnership
in 10 overs on the opening wicket. The victory seemed easy for the visitors
then. 
But a momentum-changing over from
Ryan Burl changed the scenario of the match as the spinner alone took 3 wickets
in that over including the wickets of Zazai, Gurbaz, and Usman Ghani. But another
destructive batsman Najibullah Zadran remained calm and finished off the
innings very well to take the 6-wicket victory for Afghanistan.
Najibullah was unbeaten on 44
runs off 25 balls while Mohammad Nabi remained unbeaten on 15 runs off 8 balls.

Kiran More says, Hardik Pandya is now a four-dimensional player

Hardik Pandya has silenced the critics with his exploits in IPL 2022. He played 15 games and averaged 44.27 for 487 runs, including four half-centuries.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/hardik-pandya-03_06_2022.jpg"><a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/727/hardik-pandya">Hardik Pandya</a> was named Man of the Match in the 2022 IPL Finals for his all-around performance on the field. Pandya led his team to glory in an impressive racquet campaign. Not many gave them a chance to make it to the playoffs after the mega auction, let alone go all the way in this year's competition. After triumphing in his first IPL stint as captain, former Indian cricketer Kiran More has praised Hardik's fabulous performance at the 2022 IPL.The all-rounder hasn't had the best times in recent months. He carried injuries that limited his bowling time and was also dropped from the national team. But this season we saw a different Pandya as he moved up the batting order and played responsible shots for his team at crucial points in their campaign. The hard-hitting batter amassed 487 runs this season with four half-centuries to his name.Former Indian cricketer <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/8106/kiran-more">Kiran More</a> spoke about Hardik Pandya and explained why he believes Hardik Pandya is now a 4th dimensional cricketer. “The best moment for me in IPL 15 was the way the Gujarat Titans played cricket. It was outstanding. And especially when Hardik became captain and won the trophy, his personal performance was just as brilliant. Moving from Mumbai Indians to Gujarat Titans, it's not that easy to go and lead the new team and immediately win the championship," Kiran More said on the SG Podcast. 

Kiran More recalled Hardik Pandya's early days in the sport as he used to play in his academy. “To me, Hardik was a young kid who wanted to perform all the time. I now believe that he is a fourth dimensional player now. He used to be a three-dimensional player because he was a bowler, batsman, and fielder, but now he's also a captain. So you are proud to have such a talented cricketer in the national team," More added.

A FIR is registered against MS Dhoni and 7 others in Bihar; know what is the case is all about

The former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is one of the best captains in the history of cricket. Recently, an FIR was registered against MS Dhoni including 8 other people. The FIR has been registered at the Begusarai in Bihar on a cheque bounce issue. Considering the reports from DNA, the FIR was filed by SK Enterprises, as they found their cheque was bounced. They received the cheque from 'New Global Produce India Limited' and Dhoni also gets involved. He promoted the product on several occasions along with seven other persons. However, Judicial Magistrate Ajay Kumar Mishra will be handling this case and the next hearing was scheduled for June 28, Tuesday. Considering the other reports, New Global Produce India Limited has given an INR 30 lakh cheque to SK Enterprises and also get back their fertilizers from the company. 

He is keen to learn quickly: MS Dhoni 

<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/dhoni-and-jadeja-01_05_2022.jpg">MS Dhoni and Ravindra JadejaAfter playing their last match against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2022, MS Dhoni shared a few words in the post-match presentation, saying, "I think what we need to understand is that we were playing a batter light. So when we lost those wickets, Moeen had to curb himself a bit. Role and responsibility got swapped a bit when the wickets fell. If we had lost another wicket at that point, we wouldn't have even got anything to defend." 

"I'd say 10-15 runs short although the start is always crucial. If you don't start well, even 180 may not be enough. Overall, I'd say 15 runs short. I think the important factor is that he (Mukesh Choudhary) is keen to learn quickly and after every game, he wants to improve. That's what is needed for youngsters," he added. 

"Next season, it shouldn't be like they are starting from scratch. Our Malinga (Matheesha Pathirana) is difficult to pick, and he'll only surely contribute for us next year. We have done well in patches. Important thing is to do well as a team. Crucial thing is to make the most of an opportunity if you are a bowler or a batter. It's not a one-year tournament, you keep coming back year after year. Key is to keep going as a player for the next 10-12 years," he further added.

I have spent a lot of time developing my knowledge about this side of the game: Shane Watson

One of the finest all-rounders from the Australian side, Shane Watson has come up with an exciting thing in the seventh episode of The Delhi Capitals Podcast. After announcing his retirement from all aspects of the game, Delhi Capitals roped him ahead of the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League. However, Delhi had a decent time this season and has been knocked out by Mumbai Indians in a do or die game. Speaking in The Delhi Capitals Podcast, Shane Watson shared a lot about his mental side, saying, "I find the mental side of the sport super interesting and I am obsessed with it. The players show incredible skill in the nets when they play without pressure. But once they go into the game, the players’ mental environment changes significantly," Shane Watson was quoted as saying by CricTracker. 

Don’t make that mistake again: Shane Watson 

<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/shane-watson-shardul-thakur-01_06_2022.jpg">Shane-Watson-Shardul-ThakurShane Watson also mentioned how the mindset should be well to execute your skills in this game. "I have spent a lot of time developing my knowledge about this side of the game. Everything is always built around technique. Usually, coaches try to correct players’ technique, but there’s no chat about mindset and if your mindset is not right, then you won’t be able to execute your skills. That’s why one of my main focus points as a coach is to pass on the knowledge of the mental side of the sport to as many cricketers as I can." 

Rovman Powell has done his job well by coming down the order for Delhi Capitals this season. In that case, Shane Watson shared a few words that Rovman Powell understood during the training session. "Everyone has an internal dialogue going on in their minds. We are in control of those dialogues, but most of us don’t exercise control over those dialogues. Usually, the internal chats are negative thoughts such as fear of failure, don’t make that mistake again, you should be better than that and so on and so forth. But if you want to, you can be in control of your thoughts and redirect them to the right thoughts at the right time, which helps from a performance point of view. Rovman understood that and was able to redirect his thoughts."

The cricketer-turned-expert also named Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik as his captain as well as player of the tournament. He stated: 


 
“Together with him I kept <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/661/kl-rahul">KL Rahu</a>l. I thought about Quinton de Kock and Shubman Gill, but about KL Rahul - more than 600 runs over two centuries. Once again eat, sleep and get 600 runs in the IPL. The form is temporary, KL Rahul is permanent. 

“I had polled for #3 – Deepak Hooda or Rahul Tripathi. I chose Rahul Tripathi, about 80% also voted for Rahul Tripathi.

“Avesh Khan is by my side. I thought of Mohsin Khan, Umran Malik and Prasidh Krishna but I still go with Avesh Khan - less bad days. After that I went with Mohammed Shami, he was amazing. Last but not least at number 11 is Arshdeep Singh. In my opinion, he was once again the standout bowler.”Aakash Chopra’s IPL 2022 XI: Jos Buttler, KL Rahul, Rahul Tripathi, Hardik Pandya (c), Liam Livingstone, David Miller, Andre Russell, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Franchise can b released some players before IPL 2023

Sunrisers Hyderabad had a disappointing 2022 IPL season as they failed to make the playoffs and were unbeaten in five games at one point. The Orange Army began their season with back-to-back losses led by Kane Williamson.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/srh-31_05_2022.jpg"> But they recovered well and recorded five straight wins. SRH then lost momentum and failed to make the top 4. Captain Kane Williamson disappointed fans with his batting performance but team management could keep him as he was good as captain and had an injury problem before the season. Meanwhile, the following four players could be sacked after their disappointing show.<h1>Abdul Samad</h1><img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/abdul-samad-31_05_2022.jpg">The Sunrisers Hyderabad signed him for the 2020 Indian Premier League.

IPL 2022: Sachin Tendulkar picks Dream best XI of the tournament

Sachin Tendulkar has unveiled his best XI from the recently concluded 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The Gujarat Titans won the title in their first season in the league, with Hardik Pandya leading the team to victory in his first season as captain. Tendulkar said he chose the XI purely based on the players' performances that season.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/sachin-tendulkar-picks-ipl-2022-best-playing-xi-31_05_2022.jpg">The Gujarat Titans won the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in their first season under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. It was a commendable effort considering not many gave them a chance after the mega auction. This IPL season, a number of different players have shown exceptional performances, while star players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and many others have not done much.Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/47422/sachin-tendulkar">Sachin Tendulkar</a> has posted his best XI of the 2022 IPL. He has appointed Hardik as his team's skipper for obvious reasons. Jos Buttler, who won the Orange Cap by a whopping 863 runs, will open with Shikhar Dhawan in Sachin XI. Dhawan also did decently that season opening the innings for Punjab Kings but was not considered for the South Africa T20Is. 

Sachin Tendulkar then went with the middle order which included the likes of KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, David Miller and Liam Livingstone. All four players had a fantastic IPL season. While Rahul amassed more than 600 runs at the top for Lucknow Super Giants, Hardik's all-around ability was hailed by many. He scored nearly 500 runs and also picked up 8 wickets that season.Butler has earned the Orange Cap with 863 runs this season, while Shikhar has 460 runs in 14 games. Third place went to Sachin KL Rahul, who had 616 runs in 15 innings with two centuries. Hardik Pandya was kept fourth by Tendulkar for playing good innings on that number. <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/167/david-miller">David Miller</a> was selected as number five and has proven to be a strong match finisher.
