India Women Crush West Indies by 211 Runs in First ODI

December 23, 2024, 6:55 am

Harmanpreet Kaur’s Team India registered a resounding win on Sunday. They crushed West Indies by 211 runs in the first ODI at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara.

According to reports, this victory is India’s second-biggest win in women’s ODIs by runs. Previously, they had defeated Ireland by 249 runs in 2017. Meanwhile, this match marked West Indies’ worst loss by runs in women’s ODI history.

With this win, India has taken an early lead in the series. The team once again showcased their dominance in white-ball cricket.

India Set a Mammoth Target

After winning the toss, West Indies, led by Hayley Matthews, opted to field. However, the decision quickly backfired as Indian openers Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal built a commanding partnership.

Mandhana displayed brilliant form, scoring 91 runs off 102 balls, including 13 fours. Similarly, Rawal contributed a solid 40 runs off 69 balls with 4 fours. Their 110-run opening stand laid a strong foundation for the team.

Eventually, Matthews broke the partnership in the 24th over by dismissing Rawal. However, by then, India had already gained the upper hand. Mandhana continued her aggressive batting and added 50 runs with Harleen Deol, who scored 44 off 50 balls.

Later, Zaida James dismissed Mandhana in the 32nd over, slightly slowing India’s momentum. Even so, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur joined Harleen and added 66 runs to the total.

India’s middle-order batters capitalized on this start. Richa Ghosh blasted 26 runs off just 13 balls, hitting 4 fours and 1 six. Jemimah Rodrigues followed with a quick 31 runs off 19 balls, including 3 fours and 1 six. Deepti Sharma remained unbeaten with 14 runs as India posted a formidable 314/9.

For West Indies, Zaida James stood out with her five-wicket haul, conceding 45 runs. Meanwhile, Matthews chipped in with two wickets during her spell.

West Indies Falter Under Pressure

When chasing 315, West Indies struggled to gain momentum. Renuka Thakur Singh led India’s bowling attack with precision and dismantled the visitors’ batting lineup. She claimed five wickets, leaving West Indies in deep trouble.

Additionally, Priya Mishra picked up two wickets, while Titas Sadhu and Deepti Sharma grabbed one each. As a result, West Indies were bowled out for just 103 runs in 27 overs.

Despite the collapse, Afy Fletcher showed some resistance with an unbeaten 24 runs off 22 balls, hitting 3 fours. Wicketkeeper Shemaine Campbelle also contributed 21 runs before falling to Renuka’s fiery spell.

Brief Score

India Women: 314/9

Smriti Mandhana 91(102), Harleen Deol 44 (50), Pratika Rawal 40 (69)

Zaida James 5/45(8)

West Indies Women: 103

Afy Fletcher 24*(22), Shemaine Campbelle 21 (39), Aaliyah Alleyne 13 (23)

Renuka Singh 5/29(10)

Player of The Match

Renuka Thakur Singh received the ‘Player of the Match’ award for her outstanding bowling. Her five-wicket haul played a crucial role in India’s dominant win.

With this comprehensive victory, India has set the tone for the series. The team looks confident and ready to maintain their winning streak.

India Women Crush West Indies in First T20I by 49 Runs

December 16, 2024, 6:48 am

India Women opened their T20I series with a commanding win over West Indies. They secured a 49-run victory at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday in first T20I. Thanks to stellar performances by Jemimah Rodrigues, Smriti Mandhana, and Titas Sadhu, India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

India’s Strong Batting Start

West Indies opted to bowl after winning the toss. India’s openers, Smriti Mandhana and Uma Chetry, quickly built a strong foundation. Mandhana played aggressively, scoring 54 runs off 33 balls with seven fours and two sixes. Meanwhile, Chetry supported with a steady 24 runs off 26 balls, including four boundaries.

However, West Indies got their first breakthrough when Karishma Ramharack dismissed Chetry in the seventh over. From there, Jemimah Rodrigues took charge. She smashed 73 runs off just 35 balls, including nine fours and two sixes. Moreover, Rodrigues maintained a blazing strike rate of 208.57.

Her 81-run partnership with Mandhana propelled India to a big total. In the final overs, Harmanpreet Kaur chipped in with 13 not out, while Sajeevan Sajana added one not out. Consequently, India finished with an impressive 195/4.

On the bowling front, Karishma Ramharack shone for West Indies, taking 2/18. Additionally, Deandra Dottin picked up one wicket in her spell.

West Indies’ Struggles in the Chase

Chasing a daunting target of 196, West Indies initially showed promise. Deandra Dottin led the charge with a fiery 52 off 28 balls, smashing four fours and three sixes. Similarly, Qiana Joseph contributed a quick 49 from 33 balls, including five fours and three sixes.

Despite these efforts, the rest of the batting lineup struggled. For instance, Shemaine Campbelle scored 13 runs, while Shabika Gajnabi added 15. Even though Gajnabi and Mandy Mangru remained not out, West Indies fell short, finishing at 146/7.

India’s Bowlers Dominate

India’s bowlers, on the other hand, delivered an outstanding performance. Titas Sadhu led the attack with three wickets for 37 runs. Furthermore, Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav supported with two wickets each. Their disciplined spells ensured that West Indies couldn’t build momentum.

Brief Scores

India: 195/4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 73, Smriti Mandhana 54; Karishma Ramharack 2/18)
West Indies: 146/7 (Deandra Dottin 52, Qiana Joseph 49; Titas Sadhu 3/37)

Player of the Match

Unsurprisingly, Jemimah Rodrigues received the ‘Player of the Match’ award for her explosive knock of 73 runs.

Looking ahead, India will face West Indies in the second T20I on Tuesday at the DY Patil Stadium.

Pressure on Harmanpreet as India Faces West Indies in T20 Series

December 14, 2024, 1:59 pm

Indian women’s cricket captain Harmanpreet Kaur is under intense pressure following a disappointing loss to Australia. India will now face the West Indies in a three-match T20 series starting Sunday. Although India has won the last eight T20Is against the West Indies, the team faces a tough challenge ahead.

Leadership Under Fire

Kaur’s leadership has been heavily criticized. While her batting form has improved, her leadership has raised doubts. The team continues to play outdated cricket, which has led to growing concerns. Furthermore, many feel that Smriti Mandhana, who is ready to take over, should replace Kaur. The selectors’ decision to drop Shafali Verma, despite her T20I potential, has only added to the controversy.

India’s Recovery Challenge

India now needs to recover quickly from a 0-3 ODI loss to Australia. In the series, India was thoroughly outplayed in every department. Unfortunately, the team has had little time to prepare for this new challenge. Additionally, with key players like Pooja Vastrakar and Shreyanka Patil missing, the pressure is mounting.

Verma’s Omission Raises Eyebrows

One of the most puzzling decisions has been the exclusion of Verma, India’s second-highest T20I run-scorer in 2024. Verma scored 531 runs in 20 matches at an impressive strike rate of 126.73. Given her recent form, her omission is difficult to understand, especially as she has performed well in T20Is. In her place, Richa Ghosh, a lower-order batter, has been moved to open the innings.

Selectors Ignore Key Performers

Moreover, the selectors have also overlooked fast bowler Arundhati Reddy. Reddy was outstanding in Australia, claiming 4 wickets for 26 runs. She was also one of India’s top wicket-takers in the T20 World Cup. Despite her strong performances, Reddy has not been included in the squad.

Mandhana and Kaur Key for India

Smriti Mandhana, India’s most successful batter with 570 runs in 20 matches, needs to improve her strike rate, which currently stands at 118.25. Meanwhile, Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored two fifties in her last T20I innings, will play a crucial role in the middle order. Jemimah Rodrigues, with only 219 runs this year, will need to step up and deliver better performances.

West Indies’ Strengths and Weaknesses

On the other hand, the West Indies have won 9 out of 13 T20Is this year, although they haven’t made much of an impact in major tournaments. Their memorable win over England in the T20 World Cup was a highlight, with Hayley Matthews and Qiana Joseph leading the charge. The West Indies have called up Deandra Dottin for this series but will miss Stafanie Taylor due to injury.

Both teams have their challenges to face. India needs to address its leadership and selection issues, while the West Indies will aim to take advantage of India’s absentees. The match will start at 7:00 PM IST.

Teams

India: Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, Nandini Kashyap, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Uma Chetry, Deepti Sharma, Sajeevan Sajana, Raghvi Bist, Renuka Thakur, Priya Mishra, Titas Sadhu, Saima Thakor, Minnu Mani, Radha Yadav.

West Indies: Hayley Matthews, Shemaine Campbelle, Aaliyah Alleyne, Shamilia Connell, Nerissa Crafton, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Shabika Gajnabi, Chinelle Henry, Zaida James, Qiana Joseph, Mandy Mangru, Ashmini Munisar, Karishma Ramharack, Rashada Williams.

England Sets A Record Of Fastest Fifty In This Format

July 18, 2024, 6:46 pm

For the first time in 147 years, the England cricket team has set the record of acquiring fatest fifty in less than 27 balls at test format. Thus, achieving huge success with their aggressive batting strategy.

They achieved this massive feat in mere 4.2 overs against West Indies Nottingham’s Trent bridge on Thursday.

This record was established on the first day of the second test match. Setting a stable partnership from the start, Ben Duckett made 33 runs from 14 balls, while his partner Ollie Pope made 16 runs from 9 balls straight. Thus, not out.

The Duo together played a crucial role in achieving this milestone in test cricket history.

By hitting the total of ten boundaries, England had beaten its own record. Earlier in 1994, they made similar record against south Africa at ovals in 4.3 overs.

Meanwhile, India has established its position at 5th rank in terms of scoring fatest 50 collectively in test format.

The Indian cricket team has achieved the 50 feat in 5.3 overs against England in the year 2008 at Chennai.

Later after many years, India repeated this feat again in 2023. Where the team again made 50 in 5.3 overs against west indies at Port of Spain.

This record made by England cricket team underscores the rising trend of aggressiveness and making fastest scores in test format.

Tragic Loss: Makeup Artist Fayaz Ansari Drowns In West Indies During ICC T20 World Cup 2024

June 24, 2024, 7:38 pm

Fayaz Ansari, a skilled makeup artist from Nagina, Bijnor, tragically drowned in a hotel swimming pool in the West Indies while accompanying former cricketer Irfan Pathan for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Ansari had moved to Mumbai 22 years ago and had a successful salon there, where Pathan was one of his prominent clients. Their professional bond grew, leading Pathan to invite Ansari along for international events like the ongoing cricket tournament.

The incident happened on June 21 during the Super 8 matches in the West Indies. Ansari’s cousin, Mohammad Ahmed, shared that Ansari had recently married and had returned to Mumbai from Nagina just eight days before joining Pathan for the T20 World Cup. The sudden loss has left his family, especially his wife and relatives, deeply devastated.

Irfan Pathan, deeply moved by the tragedy, has taken charge of arranging for Fayaz Ansari’s body to be brought back to India. He is working closely with authorities in the West Indies to ensure all procedures are completed promptly. Ansari’s family expects to receive his body in Delhi within the next three to four days.

The sudden loss of Fayaz Ansari has deeply affected his family, friends, and the cricketing community, reminding everyone of life’s uncertainties during a major sports event. Ansari’s journey from Bijnor to Mumbai, where he found success in the beauty industry, reflects his determination and talent. His death is mourned not only by those close to him but also by the industry that valued his skills and dedication.

T20 World Cup Update: West Indies Defeat New Zealand, Enter Super 8

June 13, 2024, 10:10 am

West Indies (149/9) beat New Zealand (136/9) by 13 runs to enter the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stage.

In match 26 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, West Indies faced off against New Zealand. Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to bowl first.

Despite being in deep trouble at 30/5, Sherfane Rutherford’s brilliant half-century sparked a remarkable comeback for the Windies. His performance helped the Windies recover and post a total of 149/9 against New Zealand’s formidable pace trio—Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, and Tim Southee—on Thursday.

In the second innings, the Windies, with the help of great performances by their bowlers Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie were successful in restricting the Kiwis to a total of 136/9 leading to the victory of the Windies over the Kiwis by 13 runs.

“Can Be Better in All Three Departments”: Rovma Powel after WI Survive PNG Scare to Win T20 World Cup Opener

June 3, 2024, 5:19 am

West Indies captain Rovma Powell commended Papua New Guinea for their courageous performance and emphasized his team’s need for improvement in all facets of the game – bowling, batting, and fielding.

In a tightly contested match, PNG made West Indies toil for runs, presenting a stiff challenge while defending a modest total of 137. Sese Bau’s fifty and Kiplin Doriga’s influential 27*-run cameo propelled PNG to a competitive score of 136/8.

PNG’s disciplined bowling restricted West Indies, conceding little room for error. Powell acknowledged PNG’s resilience but conceded that his team allowed them to score “10 to 15 runs too much.”

Alzarri Joseph claimed two wickets but leaked runs, while Gudakesh Motie was expensive compared to other spinners.

In the chase, Roston Chase’s composed innings steered West Indies clear of an early upset. Chase’s well-timed knock of 42* off 27 deliveries, featuring four boundaries and two sixes, showcased his ability to handle pressure.

Powell praised Chase’s performance, highlighting his composure under pressure. With a winning start secured, Powell emphasized the team’s quest for improvement across all departments.

West Indies will next face Uganda on June 9 at the Providence Stadium after clinching a hard-fought five-wicket victory in their opening match.

Defending Champions England Need to Step Up for the Ultimate Challenge of Defending their T20 WC Title

May 30, 2024, 4:55 pm

No team has managed to successfully defend the Twenty20 World Cup title, and England doesn’t have to delve far into the history books to grasp the enormity of the challenge awaiting them in the tournament in the West Indies and the United States.

Just seven months ago, Jos Buttler’s team embarked on their quest to retain the 50-over world crown they clinched on home soil, only to endure a dismal tournament in India. They won just three out of nine group games, ending up in seventh place in the standings.

“That pride was obviously dented, and it was a really disappointing competition,” remarked Buttler. “But life moves on; it’s a chapter in the book, and there are lessons you learn. But we’re presented with a new opportunity, a different format.”

Buttler, at 33, showcased his prowess with two centuries for Rajasthan Royals in this year’s Indian Premier League. However, England’s recent T20 track record paints a grim picture. Since their triumph over Pakistan in the 2022 final, they’ve suffered defeats in series against Bangladesh and West Indies, eventually settling for a 2-2 draw at home with New Zealand, slipping to third in the world rankings behind India and Australia.

Grouped in Group B with Australia, Namibia, Oman, and Scotland, England appears poised to sail through to the Super Eight stage of the tournament. However, their real challenge lies in recapturing the dominant form that led them to victory in 2022.

With Ben Stokes absent from the squad, the responsibility of providing top-order firepower and consistency falls on Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, and Harry Brook.

The return of Jofra Archer after significant injury setbacks provides a significant boost for England. Nonetheless, concerns loom over the fitness of Mark Wood and Reece Topley, the other genuine fast bowlers in the squad.

This could place a heavy burden on seamers Sam Curran and Chris Jordan, while England will heavily rely on seasoned spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali to stem the scoring rate during the middle overs of the innings.

Curran has faced struggles over the past year, managing only seven wickets in his last eight T20 internationals. Buttler will be banking on the feisty all-rounder to rediscover the form that earned him the player of the tournament award in 2022.

Curran recently showcased his potential with a match-winning performance for Punjab Kings in the IPL, where he delivered impressive bowling figures of 2-24 before scoring an unbeaten 63. The 25-year-old’s contribution will be crucial if England aims to lift the T20 World Cup trophy for the third time.

T20 World Cup 2024: India Allotted Second Semifinal Match for T20 WC, to Get No Reserve Day

May 15, 2024, 7:46 pm

India will contest the second semifinal of the ICC T20 World Cup on June 27 in Providence, Guyana, should they advance to the knockout stage, ESPNCricinfo disclosed on Tuesday. The decision to assign India the Guyana semifinal likely hinges on schedule, given that the first semifinal in Tarouba, Trinidad, on June 26 at 8:30 PM local time, is a night match. The Guyana semifinal, however, will commence at 10:30 AM local time, translating to a prime-time slot of 8 PM in Indian Standard Time.

The final, set for June 29 in Bridgetown, Barbados, will kick off at 10 AM local time, corresponding to 7:30 PM in India, as per ESPNCricinfo. According to ESPNCricinfo’s review of the playing conditions, there is no reserve day for the second semifinal. However, the match will receive an additional 250 minutes of playing time, compared to the 190 minutes allocated for the first semifinal and final, both of which have reserve days.

The extra hour has been allotted due to the absence of reserve days in the tournament schedule. Providing a reserve day for the second semifinal would have resulted in only one day’s rest and practice time between that match and the final. Persistent rain during the second semifinal could lead to a tight schedule, as a result, can only be determined if both teams bat for a minimum of 10 overs.

In most T20 matches, the team batting second must complete at least five overs to reach a result. This rule will apply to most matches in the ICC T20 World Cup. However, in knockout games, teams batting second must face a minimum of 10 overs to determine a result according to the Duckworth-Lewis method. This was also the case in the knockout matches of the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia.

India is positioned in Group A of the ICC tournament alongside arch-rivals Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, and co-hosts USA. India will commence their T20 World Cup journey against Ireland on June 5 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, followed by a high-profile encounter against Pakistan on June 9 at the same venue. Subsequently, India will face off against the USA and Canada on June 12 and 15, respectively.

India’s squad comprises Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohd. Siraj. The reserves include Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan.

West Indies Pacer Kemar Roach Hopes His Side Will “Ruin” James Anderson’s Farewell Test

May 14, 2024, 1:14 am

West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach praised England’s pace veteran James Anderson, who recently announced his international retirement, calling him one of the greatest pacers ever. Roach expressed hope that his team would “ruin” Anderson’s farewell Test match at Lord’s on July 10. Anderson, known for his remarkable fitness and pace despite his age, revealed on Instagram that the first Test against West Indies would mark his final international appearance, concluding his 22-year-long career with England.

Currently playing for Surrey in the County Championship, Roach acknowledged Anderson’s greatness and the sadness of seeing him retire. He emphasized West Indies’ ambition to secure their first away series win against England since 1988, boasting a strong pace attack with Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph. Roach highlighted Anderson’s role as a respected figure in cricket, providing valuable advice to fellow players.

Reflecting on West Indies’ upcoming challenge against England, Roach emphasized the importance of focusing on their own performance rather than Anderson’s farewell. He acknowledged Anderson’s greatness but remained determined to strive for a series victory in England. Roach wished Anderson well for his future endeavours beyond cricket.

Regarding West Indies’ seam attack, Roach expressed confidence in the lineup consisting of himself, Shamar, Alzarri, and Jayden Seales, considering them among the best he has played with. He emphasized the importance of their collective contribution and the need to perform consistently to maintain their place in the team.

Despite nearing 36 and being 15 years into his Test career, Roach stated that retirement is not on his mind currently. He highlighted his recent focus on improving his skills with bowling coach Jade Dernbach and expressed optimism about his performance and physical condition leading up to the West Indies tour. Roach expressed his willingness to support younger players and contribute to the team’s success in the future.

James Anderson to Retire After Lord’s Test Against West Indies in July

May 11, 2024, 5:38 pm

James Anderson, England’s leading wicket-taker in Test cricket, has revealed his decision to retire from international cricket following the team’s opening Test of the home season against West Indies at Lord’s, scheduled to commence on July 10.

In an announcement made via Instagram, Anderson expressed, “I wanted to share that the upcoming Test at Lord’s will mark my final appearance in Test cricket. It has been an extraordinary journey spanning 20 years, representing my nation and playing the sport I’ve cherished since childhood. The camaraderie of stepping out for England will be deeply missed. However, I believe the time has come to gracefully bow out and pave the way for others to pursue their aspirations, just as I had the privilege to do. There’s no greater satisfaction.”

During the Ashes series in England last summer, the experienced fast bowler managed to secure only five wickets across four matches. Similarly, in England’s recent five-match series against India, which ended in a 4-1 defeat, Anderson accumulated 10 wickets from four appearances.

A post shared by James Anderson (@jimmya9)

“I couldn’t have done it without the love and support of Daniella, Lola, Ruby, and my parents. A huge thank you to them. Also, thank you to the players and coaches who have made this the best job in the world.

I’m excited for the new challenges that lie ahead, as well as filling my days with even more golf,” Anderson added in his post.

As reported by The Guardian, England Test head coach Brendon McCullum made a trip from New Zealand to the UK specifically to deliver a personal message to the 41-year-old bowler. The message conveyed that the Test team is undergoing strategic changes for the future. According to the English daily, the team management is already looking ahead to the Ashes series in 2025/26 in Australia and does not envision Anderson being part of those plans.

Despite recently achieving the milestone of 700 Test wickets during the series against India, Anderson made history as the first fast bowler and only the third bowler overall, following in the footsteps of Muttiah Muralidaran and Shane Warne.

Having participated in 400 international matches, Anderson has amassed a total of 987 wickets across various formats, marking the highest tally among all seam bowlers. Although he concluded his appearances in One Day Internationals during the 2015 World Cup, Anderson remains the top wicket-taker for England in ODIs, having secured 269 dismissals.

West Indies have announced their 15-man squads for the Australia white ball series

January 11, 2024, 12:27 pm

For their forthcoming T20I and ODI series against Australia, which takes place from February 2 to 13, the West Indies have named 15-man squads. Teddy Bishop and Tevin Imlach, a wicketkeeper-battler, are two players on the ODI team who could make their debuts. Bishop’s impressive performance in the West Indies 50-over competition earned him a call-up. Hayden Walsh Jr., Kavem Hodge, and Justin Greaves all make their injury comebacks in this series. However, the team did not include Yannic Carriah and Shimron Hetmyer, and star players Brandon King and Sherfane Rutherford were not available for selection.

“For the T20I series, this forms part of our crucial preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup where we are hosts. We are hoping to build on strong overall performances against India and England and to keep improving as we approach the major tournament,” Haynes added.

December 9, 2023, 2:14 pm

Renowned West Indies cricketer Joe Solomon, who played a significant role in the famous tied Test against Australia in 1960, passed away on Saturday at the age of 93. The former Guyana and West Indies batsman left a lasting impact on the cricketing world, and his contributions to the sport will be remembered.

Windies Cricket shared the news of Joe Solomon’s demise on the social media platform ‘X’, expressing condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. Solomon’s cricketing career spanned from 1958 to 1965, during which he played 27 Tests for the West Indies, amassing 1326 runs with an impressive average of 34.

More sad news.

Joe Solomon, the former Guyana and West Indies batsman passed away today.

He was famous for the run out which led to the famous tied Test in 1960 at the Gabba.

We extend sincere condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. May he Rest in Peace. pic.twitter.com/vDLO9ZnBDk

Solomon’s debut in first-class cricket at the age of 26 marked the beginning of a remarkable journey. Notably, his first three innings for the West Indies were centuries, showcasing his batting prowess. His consistent performances earned him a place in the squad, and he made a memorable Test debut against India, scoring an unbeaten 100 in Delhi.

However, Joe Solomon will be most remembered for his pivotal role in the historic tied Test against Australia in 1960 at the Gabba. With six runs needed off the final eight-ball over, Solomon’s precise fielding led to a run-out that resulted in the first-ever tied Test. This moment etched his name in cricketing history.

Despite a minor controversy during the tour of Australia when he was out hit-wicket as his cap fell on the stumps, Solomon’s contributions to West Indies cricket left an indelible mark. His passing is mourned by the cricketing community, and his legacy as a cricketing icon will endure. May he rest in peace.

This series next year will see us defending the Richards-Botham Trophy, as we continue to celebrate the relationship of the teams and honor the legacy of two of the game’s greatest players.”

In June 1928, the West Indies played their first Test matches against England at Lord’s. Since then, the two teams have met 163 times, with the West Indies winning 59 times, England winning 51 times, and 53 draws.

We thought we had enough, says Rovman Powell

March 27, 2023, 1:38 pm

The entire West Indies camp was in a state of shock after falling short of the target despite scoring 258 runs.

“Sometimes you have to put your body through stress and it was an important game,” West Indies skipper Rovman Powell said after the game. We decided enough was enough when we reached the halfway point.

Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks deserve credit. They took us by surprise and played outstanding cricket. They applied pressure starting with ball one. “We told him to go hard from ball one, and he did that today,” Powell said of Johnson Charles.

Skipper Powell contributed with a knock of 28(19), which included two sixes and a boundary. While the mindset of many teams suffers after losing a game in this manner, Powell believes he is used to losing games in this manner.

“The guys are making good progress. It’s just a matter of carrying over what we did well today into the third T20I. This is the seventh game I’ve played on the T20 circuit in which we scored 240 or 250 runs and lost, so I’m used to it.”

The fast bowlers didn’t have a good day today, so we tried to slow things down with me and Reifer coming in. “We must make a comeback in the final game. It only gets spicier, and it only gets nicer for the fans,” Powell further added.

The West Indian team performed admirably in the first T20I match. They were able to carry their lead into the next game. Even if their efforts in the second match were not rewarded, they will be eager to make a strong comeback and clinch the series at the Wanderers Stadium on Tuesday.

We need to improve from top to bottom: Hayley Matthews

January 23, 2023, 1:23 pm

West Indies captain Hayley Matthews admitted on Sunday that her side’s batting was a huge concern and needs to improve from “top to bottom”, as it was not able to produce big partnerships. Batting has been Windies achilles heel in women’s T20Is for a while right now.

Their middle-order woes has hampered their performances over the last couple of years. Since January 2021, the middle order (number four to seven) has been averaging 12.12, which is the lowest among the full teams in T20I cricket. In their first match of the women’s T20I tri-series involving South Africa and India, Shemaine Campbelle, batting at number four, scored 11 off mere 24 runs that the middle order made. Matthews admitted that the middle order has been disappointing, but bigger contributions are needed from the top order.

“We are missing a lot of big players,” Matthews was quoted by ESPNCricinfo as saying after West Indies’ 44-run defeat against South Africa. “Players like Chinelle Henry, who we usually have in the lower middle order, are capable of hitting the ball out of the park and even Chedean Nation, who played today, but they have just not been able to get going as yet. So yeah, it is the same story all around.” “We need to improve from the top right down to the bottom of our batting line-up in the way that we are playing now. It is clear we are not being able to put big enough partnerships. At the same time, we have a lot of injuries, with key batters out,” said Matthews.

Brittney Cooper, who returned to the side ahead of the tri-nation series, having last played a T20I in September 2021, opened the batting as Windies added 32 runs for the opening wicket in their chase of 142. She was in good touch and hit three fours before being dismissed for 14 off 13 balls. “For now it is just about the physio and medical people and the coaches managing the load with Stafanie,” Matthews said.

ECB appoints Jon Lewis as England women’s team head coach

November 19, 2022, 11:31 am

England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Friday announced Former Cricketer Jon Lewis as the head coach of the England Women’s team.

Moreover, on 29 November Lewis and his new team will depart for West Indies and the squad for the Caribbean will be announced next week.

“It is very exciting to have been appointed as Head Coach of the England Women’s team. It is a new challenge and one that I cannot wait to get stuck into. I have watched from a distance over the last few years and it is clear that there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic about this team’s chances going forward,” Lewis said.

Lewis further stated, “The last couple of years have seen the introduction of some younger players and that, allied with the increased strength in depth coming from the regional game, is a really promising sign for the coming few years. Our immediate focus is the West Indies and particularly getting some points on the board in the ICC Women’s Championship, and then we will look ahead to South Africa and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.”

However, Jonathan Finch Director of England Women’s Cricket said, “We are really pleased to be able to appoint Jon as the new Head Coach of England Women following a thorough and competitive recruitment process. We set out to find a Head Coach with a range of experiences to help lead an exciting group of players across all formats and I am excited with what the future holds with Jon in the role.”

“Jon comes with an excellent pedigree in the men’s game working across different levels of the international pathway, and we were really impressed by how he sees the role moving forward. We look forward to him coming on board and driving the future direction of this team,” Finch said.

GAYLE STORM HELPS WEST INDIES WIN T20 SERIES AGAINST AUSTRALIA

July 14, 2021, 6:57 am

A scintillating knock from Chris Gayle helped West Indies thrash Australia by six wickets in the third T20I. With this win, West Indies secured T20I series victory over Australia with two more games to go. A quality death bowling from West Indies had restricted Australia to 141/6 before the hosts chased down the total comfortably with 31 balls to spare.

During the run chase, Gayle also became the first player to smash 14,000 runs in the shortest format of the game. Chasing 142, West Indies got off to a bad start as Mitchell Starc struck in the first over dismissing Andre Fletcher for four runs.

Lendl Simmons and Chris Gayle then stitched a 38-run stand for the second wicket before Riley Meredith removed the opener reducing West Indies to 42/2 inside the powerplay.

However, Gayle continued smashing the ball as he found his form to bring up his first T20I fifty since 2016. He smashed three consecutive sixes to get to his half-century. Meredith dismissed Gayle in the 12th over but the damage was done as West Indies just needed 33 runs in eight overs. Pooran and Andre Russell in end guided the hosts to a series-clinching win over Australia in the 15th over.

Earlier opting to bat first, Australia scored just 141 runs despite a good start. Matthew Wade and skipper Aaron Finch stitched a 41-run stand for the first wicket in five overs. However, the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals as the batsmen never really looked comfortable during the innings.

Australia were 80/4 in 12 overs and Moises Henriques (33) and Ashton Turn (24) revived the visitors’ innings but failed to get to a decent total.

Brief Scores: Australia 141/6 (Moises Henriques 33, Aaron Finch 30; Hayden Walsh 2-18); West Indies 142/4 (Chris Gayle 67, Nicholas Pooran 32; Riley Meredith 3-48)
