There’s a slight schedule change for the India vs Ireland T20I series. India’s women’s team’s fielding left a lot to be desired, but they still managed to win in Manchester. Sai Sudharsan has made a case for Sri Lanka. New Zealand piled on the pain in Nottingham. Kuldeep Yadav will enjoy Lucknow, believes LSG pacer. Lastly, Pakistan will send players to the USA for special training.
India wins despite woeful catching
India is well and truly alive in the semifinal race in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. The Women in Blue comfortably defeated Bangladesh in Manchester. India’s batting or bowling wasn’t a concern, but the fielding was. In the powerplay itself, India dropped 4 catches, 3 of which came in the space of 4 balls.
IND vs IRE time change
To ensure there’s no clash between the India vs Ireland series and the Women’s T20 World Cup, Cricket Ireland has decided to start the two T20I matches an hour early. The second game will clash with India’s match against Australia at Lord’s. To maximise viewership in India, the move has been made.
Sudharsan smashes hundred in Galle
Sai Sudharsan stamped his authority on the first day of the India A vs Sri Lanka A unofficial Test in Galle. The southpaw opened the batting and scored 132 off 175. Devdutt Padikkal, who’s vying to potentially replace Sudharsan, missed the opportunity as he managed just 12 off 7.
