PAK vs WI | 2nd T20I: Flattened Windies need spirited performance to disrupt hosts' dream run

PAK vs WI | 2nd T20I: Flattened Windies need spirited performance to disrupt hosts' dream run

The international cricket returned with a bang in Pakistan and much to the delight of the fans at the National Stadium in Karachi and others watching from across the world, it produced a mammoth victory for the hosts. Pakistan played like a side who went to the top four of the T20 World Cup and hammered West Indies who were without significant experience and charisma in their lineup. They were challenged when batting as the surface gripped for the Windies spinner but the men in green had too much batting depth and the Windies could not match their level for the entirety of the long game. The trio of Mohammed Rizwan, Haider Ali and Mohammad Nawaz pulverised their bowling attack to all parts of the ground. With the bowl in their hand, Pakistan were merely challenged and once again there was on display the gulf between the quality of their bowling and Windies batting. There was odd fluency from the likes of the new skipper Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell but they could take the men in maroon only as far as 137 runs and Pakistan celebrated their return to home soil with a stupendous victory. The action comes thick and fast nowadays with the shortest format of the game a series being scheduled at the same venue and hence Windies will have just one-night sleep to pick themselves up from a dispiriting defeat and take on the hosts once again in the do or die clash to save the series. Match Details Pakistan vs West Indies Match number: 2nd T20I Venue: National Stadium, Karachi Date and Time: December 14, 06:30 PM IST, 01:00 PM GMT Pitch and weather The surface used for the first game helped spinners form the word go and the left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein turned the ball from a straighter line and with the new ball. This will be the second game in as many days at the venue and it’s likely to be a used surface for this game and it will be slower and lower which would make life a bit difficult for the batsmen. However, the onset of dew due to cold weather conditions can come as a boost for the batsmen and spinners can find it tough to grip the ball. Team News Pakistan There is no injury scare in the hosts’ camp and hence Babar Azam is all set to field an unchanged playing XI from the last game. The skipper himself has not been in great form with the bat in this format after a successful T20 World Cup campaign and he will be desperate to come back to his fluent best. His opening partner Mohammad Rizwan once again laid the platform for their tremendous finish with the bat in the last few overs by the blitzkrieg of Haiden Ali and Mohammad Nawaz and there will be no dearth of expectations from the trio in the second game of the series as well. Probable XI Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shaheen Afridi West Indies Pacer Odean Smith was taken to the cleaners by the Pakistan lower order batsmen and he ended up giving 56 runs in his four overs and Windies would mull replacing him with another spinner considering the conditions in Karachi. If they end up deciding to bolster their bowling attack, Hayden Walsh Jr. would be at the forefront to come in as a leg spinner. Windies would also hope the experienced duo of Shai Hope and Pooran to score heavily and play the role Rizwan played for Pakistan in the first game that could open the door for other batsmen to play cameos and take the side to a position of strength. Probable XI Shamarh Brooks, Brandon King, Shai Hope (WK), Devon Thomas, Nicholas Pooran (C), Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Dominic Drakes, Oshane Thomas, Hayden Walsh Jr. CE Fantasy XI Nicholas Pooran, Babar Azam, Brandon King, Rovman Powell, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Dominic Drakes, Akeal Hosein, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf Captain: Mohammad Rizwan Vice-captain: Shadab Khan

T10 League 2021-22: Delhi Bulls sweep Team Abu Dhabi away to reach final

The Delhi Bulls smashed the Team Abu Dhabi to seal a place in the final of the ongoing edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 league. They will meet the Deccan Gladiators in the final scheduled to be played tonight at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Defending a target of 110 runs, the bulls were on top of their game and bowled Abu Dhabi for a mere 60 runs. Dominic Drakes was the pick of the bowlers and picked up four wickets including the big wickets of Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt. He was adjudged player of the match for his four-wicket haul. Earlier, Abu Dhabi won the toss and invited the Bulls to bat first. They were off to a horrible start with the highest run-getter of the tournament—Rahmanullah Gurbaz getting out for a duck. However, useful contributions from the middle-order comprising of Romario Shepherd and Sherfane Rutherford helped them go past the 100-run mark.

T10 League 2021-22: Dominic Drakes picks four as Delhi Bulls etch comfortable win over Bangla Tigers

Delhi Bulls’ Dominic Drakes was in some brilliant form with the ball against Bangla Tigers during the Abu Dhabi T10 League fixture. Drakes scalped a four-wicket haul against Bangla Tigers as they were restricted to 88/9 while chasing 101 in 10 overs. The Tigers didn’t really get into the groove and kept losing wickets regularly to get reduced to 54/5 and eventually suffered a defeat. Drakes’ dismissals included the wickets of Faf du Plessis who top scored for his side with a 16-ball 26, James Faulkner, Luke Wood and Vishnu Sukumaran. Drakes returned with figures of 4/9 in two overs. Earlier, in the day, Delhi Bulls rode on an aggressive knock of 35 off 19 from Morgan to put 100/7 on the board. Amir was the pick of the bowlers for his side after he scalped a couple of wickets at the cost of just 13 runs in 2 overs. Both the sides now have five wins and 10 points under their belt but Bangla Tigers are placed ahead in the points table with a better NRR. The Bangla Tigers side will now take on Deccan Gladiators on Wednesday (December 1, 2021) while Delhi Bulls will lock horns with The Chennai Braves on the same day.
