Australia Women vs. India Women LIVE Score Updates, First ODI: Australia wins easily thanks to Beth Mooney's elegant 76
At the Allan Border Field in Brisbane on Tuesday, Australia won the first ODI by six wickets with 70 balls remaining. Alyssa Healy also struck a strong half century, making the run chase of 215 appear effortless. While Kashvee Gautam played a beautiful hand further down the order and Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur hit half-centuries, it was difficult for the Indian hitters. Jemimah Rodrigues followed immediately after Pratika Rawal and Shafali Verma fell. Soon after reaching her half-century, Mandhana fell, and India found it difficult to gain pace in the middle overs.India reached 214 all out in 48.3 overs as Harmanpreet and Kashvee's partnership for the eighth wicket helped them surpass 200. While Alana King took only one wicket but was difficult for India's hitters to dismiss, Ash Gardner took three for Australia. In India's opening game following their World Cup victory in November, Harmanpreet Kaur had previously chosen to bat first. India had won the first and third games of the multi-format series, taking a 4-2 lead (in points) after defeating Australia 2-1 in the T20I leg. Before the hosts, headed by a newcomer in Sophie Molineux, responded in the second game in Canberra to tie the series at one, the Harmanpreet-led team won the rain-affected opening Twenty20 International by 21 runs in Sydney. In Adelaide, India defeated Australia by 17 runs thanks to a stylish 82 from Smriti Mandhana.

Suryakumar believes India will win the T20 World Cup.
Suryakumar Yadav, captain of India, thinks his team can quickly recover from their defeat to South Africa and advance to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup knockout stages. India was defeated by the Proteas by 76 runs in Ahmedabad on Sunday, ending a 12-match winning streak. They now have a difficult job to defend the title they famously won in Barbados in 2024. This was India's first defeat of the T20 World Cup.In order to go to the semi-finals, Suryakumar's team will now probably need to win their remaining Super Eight games against Zimbabwe and the West Indies. However, if the Proteas stay undefeated during this round, one victory might be sufficient.Zimbabwe will be India's next opponent in Chennai on Thursday, and Suryakumar doesn't believe his squad needs to make many changes to get back to winning ways.When asked what India needs to perform well for the rest of the competition, a candid Suryakumar responded, "Hopefully, we bat well, bowl well, and field well."That's all. We'll make an effort to keep things easy. I believe we'll return strong if we play the same style of cricket that we want to play and nothing changes."India isn't anticipated to make many changes before their matches against Zimbabwe and the West Indies, but the team is worried about the performance of their top-ranked T20I batsman, Abhishek Sharma, who was dismissed cheaply for just 14 against the Proteas once more. Suryakumar laments the loss of early wickets during the run chase as India faltered in response to South Africa's score of 187/7, and the left-hander was one of three players removed during the Powerplay."If you're chasing 180-185, you can't win the game in the Powerplay, but you might lose the game in the Powerplay," the captain of India thought.

T20 World Cup, India vs. Pakistan: Salman Agha considers the "big picture" following defeat, while Suryakumar dedicates victory to India
Following a humiliating loss in a match that never lived up to its blockbuster billing, India captain Suryakumar Yadav dedicated Sunday's (February 16, 2026) Twenty20 World Cup triumph over Pakistan to supporters nationwide, while his opposite number, Salman Agha, encouraged perspective.As India amassed 175-7 and then went back to bundle out Pakistan for 114 in 18 overs, the much-anticipated showdown between the South Asian neighbors, who engaged in a military crisis that almost erupted into a full-fledged war last year, failed to ignite.Despite the tensions, the game itself went without any flashpoints, but the opposing captains did not shake hands during the toss. When the coin was flipped, Salman and Suryakumar avoided eye contact and appeared solemn. When the India captain addressed at the R. Premadasa Stadium following the game, the atmosphere was very different."This is for the Indian market. With a broad smile, the batter remarked, "We played the same brand of cricket that we wanted to play."Ishan Kishan was praised by Suryakumar for his quick 77, which helped them win.Ishan Kishan batted in the same manner as he did on the domestic circuit and in our prior games. Ishan took charge of the powerplay and had an unconventional idea."India v Pakistan is a special game for us and our country," Kishan said. "This is a crucial game. We attempted to play excellent shots, but they had fantastic spinners. We feel more confident moving further in the competition.

Pakistan Minister Establishes 'Suryakumar Yadav Condition' for Asia Cup Trophy Transfer to India
In light of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) rejecting requests for a trophy handover ceremony, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) leader Mohsin Naqvi has reportedly introduced a new condition to break the deadlock regarding the Asia Cup 2025. During an ACC meeting on Tuesday, BCCI officials Rajeev Shukla and Ashish Shelar put Naqvi on the defensive by requesting that the trophy be stored in the Asian body's Dubai office for shipping to India.Naqvi, however, demonstrated little to no willingness to comply with the requests from the Indian board. A report by the Pakistani media outlet Geo Super states that Naqvi even opposed the mention of the trophy handover in the meeting, as it was not included in the original agenda. During a virtual meeting, Naqvi informed Rajeev Shukla, "This item was not included in the agenda for the ACC meeting." Naqvi, in response to the BCCI's insistence on the trophy's return, stated: "If the Indian team wants the trophy, the captain can come to the ACC office and collect it from me. "Witnessing Naqvi's lack of cooperation, the BCCI warned the heads of the ACC and PCB that if the trophy is not transferred to the Indian team within a specified timeframe, they will lodge a complaint with the ICC concerning this issue. As PTI reported, a source stated, “It was clarified that the BCCI would lodge a complaint with the ICC, and Shelar made a brief exit from the meeting.” During the tournament, the two teams faced off three times, with India emerging victorious on each occasion, including in the final. During the event, India upheld a 'no-handshake policy' with Pakistani players, which angered the PCB.Following the Pahalgam terror attack, where Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 Indian tourists, tensions between the two neighbors have reached unprecedented levels.

Pune Test To mimic Jasprit Bumrah's play at the nets, New Zealand hires a throw-down specialist.
Some of the batsmen from New Zealand signaled their throw-down specialist to toss the ball from a more side-arm position halfway through Wednesday's practice session. One of them said, "A little lower, a little lower, that side." However, the muscular specialist's devoted attempts to mimic Jasprit Bumrah's whip-crack action resulted in crazy, wide balls that pitched halfway down the field. The side-arm joke showed that New Zealand batsmen are also afraid of Bumrah, even on a possible turner when India's group of spinners intimidate them. Bumrah hovers and lurks as surely as the cycles of the solar system, regardless of whether the Pune strip unfolds as a turner, semi-turner, or non-turner. His ability to influence the course of the game is impervious to the whims of the weather, the pitch, and the batsmen's reputation. In one creative outburst, Bumrah could mow through batting lineups with the new ball, old ball, semi-old ball, or semi-new ball, and he could change the course of the game to suit his wishes. India will aim to prime and stir their blockbuster seamer in order to recover from the Bengaluru gaffe. On the other hand, Tom Latham and his batting team would be aware of

In their depressing Bengaluru opening against New Zealand, India reached a new low in Test cricket.
On Day 2 of the first Test match against New Zealand on Thursday, the Indian squad reached its lowest point under the cloudy circumstances of Bengaluru. In a home Test, India lost four of their top seven batsmen for ducks for the first time in cricket's storied history.Sarfaraz Khan (0 off 3), Ravindra Jadeja (0 off 6), KL Rahul (0 off 6), and Virat Kohli (0 off 9) all made their way back to the pavilion without posing any problems for the scorekeepers. Ravichandran Ashwin was removed for a golden duck on the opening ball of the second session, leaving India with five ducks overall.aAn thrilling battle between bat and ball resulted from the scorching deliveries of New Zealand pacers, which continued to worry the Indian batters after captain Rohit Sharma left cheaply. By removing more bounce from the surface, ORourke stunned Kohli and silenced the fans at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Glenn Phillips came flying from leg gully to make a spectacular catch after the Indian stalwart gloved the ball to him despite his best efforts to defend it off his toes.

At extra cover, Devon Conway jumped to his right to finish a spectacular catch. KL When Rahul arrived, ORourke welcomed him by slamming the ball into his glove. ORourke returned in his subsequent over to reap the benefits of his labors, having frightened Rahul. Rahul made a mistake and sent the ball down to Blundell's left, becoming India's third duck in a desperate attempt to score. After a missed shot, Ravindra Jadeja quickly came in as the fourth.India's tail attempted, but was unable, to withstand having five ducks on the scoreboard. In the end, India lost for 46.

The BCCI has formally stated that tomorrow's match would start fifteen minutes earlier than planned. India, headed by Rohit Sharma, will play New Zealand in the first of three Test series matches in Bengaluru starting Wednesday. The blue-clad team has won six straight Test matches, including a historic triumph in Kanpur against Bangladesh.An Indian side that is highly strong in their home country will make New Zealand nervous, as they recently suffered a crushing defeat in Sri Lanka. In the meantime, Tom Latham will spearhead the Kiwis' attack in this series since captain Kane Williamson is sidelined due to an injury.This is essentially the same Indian team that was chosen for the just finished Bangladesh Test series, with Akash Deep trailing Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah as the top pacers. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, two young batsmen, will try to maintain their incredible performances in the game's longest batting session.Virat: All eyes are on Rohit.

India is overwhelmed by the mayhem at the Sharjah extravaganza.
It seemed like a dream you hoped would linger longer long before the cloud of sadness descended. As the sun set, the fans—nearly 15,000 of whom were in Sharjah—rushed through the turnstiles, raucous and ecstatic, yelling, singing, waving, and doing anything they could to catch Jemi, Harry Di, or Smriti's eye.It appeared that the days of cramming a stand with schoolchildren and giving out free sandwiches were long gone. It felt like the beginning of a new era, with all of that apathy and systemic indifference (at least in part) behind us. Now, the rocket just needed that fuel to get into orbit.For India to move from being a contender to a champion, they needed that boost. Even if their captain is walking on crutches and moonwalkers, they still need to play like one against the genuine ones, who know how to end games from difficult scenarios. The stage could hardly have been more magnificent for India.The commotion, commotion, color, and craziness were chaotic yet magnificent. Security officers who were accustomed to watching four administrators and five ground crew members argue over countless cups of Irani chai had never experienced such a last-minute tussle, where all pre-match procedures, including complex security measures, needed to be practiced.With good cause, this India vs. Australia encounter was billed as the tournament's main event. It all deserved a thriller because of its grandeur. We also got one. However, it seemed inevitable that the rock stars, who were the main attraction, would end their show in the middle of their performance. Unless Monday night is when Pakistan plays the match of their lives.India's jigsaw was clinically disassembled by Australia, leaving them with a number of problems and few answers. The captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, was devastated and appeared exhausted, both emotionally and physically, as he struggled to breathe in the unbearable October heat. India had Australia on the ropes, as they have on a few occasions, despite all the failed run-out opportunities and dropped catches, as well as the confusion surrounding Asha Sobhana's one-leg hobble shortly before the game, which nobody appeared to take seriously enough at first. Consider the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in Cape Town last year or, more recently, the T20I series in Navi Mumbai in December. Australia momentarily faltered despite India's wobble in the top order, which was caused by the absence of Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues. The opposing duo of Harmanpreet and Deepti Sharma brought India
India vs. Bangladesh Kanpur nets cues for the second test Bumrah and Axar's troubles against Virat Kohli, and Bangladesh's Shakib dilemma
Jasprit Bumrah bowled Virat Kohli in the nets with about 15 deliveries under the sweltering sun at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium, and he "got him out" four times.When Kohli hit his signature cover drive on the next ball, the local cops, grounds crew, and a few journalists in the stands went crazy. Bumrah retreated and bowled at the fourth stump line, but Kohli edged it because the length was shorter this time.After that, Bumrah switched his assault to the middle and leg stumps, outwitting Kohli twice in a row. After the inside edge struck the pads on both occasions, the ball lobbed. After giving him a smile and teasing him, Bumrah said, "Aakhiri wala toh short leg ka catch tha (The short leg could have catched the last one)." Kohli grinned and went to the parallel net, where Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin were bowling.Kohli's difficulties against spinners have gained notoriety in the recent past. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, an off-spinner, dismissed him for 17 in Chennai, making it the 18th occasion since 2021 that Kohli was dismissed by spinners. In the Kanpur nets, he was having trouble against the Indian spin trio as well, particularly the two left-arm spinners. In an attempt to play inside-out against Jadeja, Kohli missed three straight and appeared frustrated. But what really caught people's attention was when Axar took out the master batsman through the fence. Before Shubman Gill replaced him in the nets, that was the final ball that Kohli played.Shakib is available and fit. During Bangladesh's morning practice, Shakib Al Hasan padded up and faced the local spinners for five to seven minutes on two separate occasions. He stormed off in anger both times, heading for the Bangladeshi dressing room. Shakib bowled only 21 overs in Chennai, going wicketless, and scored 32 and 25 in Bangladesh’s 280-run loss. In the 53rd over of India's opening session, he came into the game. During the broadcast, Murali Kartik mentioned that Shakib had informed him about his shoulder and finger tingling.On Wednesday, though, Bangladesh's head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe played down worries about Shakib's fitness following his finger injury in Chennai. I have not heard from my physiotherapist or anybody else at this time. "He remains qualified for selection," Hathurusinghe informed the press.

Along with the team, he also posed for a picture holding the T20 World Cup trophy.On November 19, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi last met the Indian cricket players.

The PM was surrounded by a circle of players. PM Modi was positioned with head coach Rahul Dravid on his left and captain Rohit Sharma on his right. While starting batsman Virat Kohli and reserve player Jasprit Bumrah were seated to the left of coach Dravid, deputy captain of India Hardik Pandya was seated to the right of Rohit.

Sourav Ganguly feels the impact player for the IPL should be disclosed at toss.
Saurav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals, speaks to the media on March 27, 2024, the Wednesday before the IPL 2024 T20 cricket match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.Sourav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals and a former captain of India, supports keeping the impact-player rule in place for the Indian Premier League but prefers that teams make their own decisions at the toss.The impact-player rule has gained a lot of attention in the wake of the recent IPL season, in which eight teams scored more than 250 runs. The impact player rule appeals to me. The only issue I have with the IPL is that I wish the grounds were a little bit larger. On the fringes of the Blue Ocean Corporation's International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference, Ganguly told the journalists, "The fences should go a little behind."It's a fantastic competition. With the impact player, your sole option is to make your decision prior to the toss, thus some skill is required there."So, disclose the impact player beforehand since it would need a lot of talent and strategy. But as for the impact player, I am all for it," the former captain of India stated. Ganguly supported Prithvi Shaw, who had a poor IPL season this year, pointing out that he is still a young player still getting used to the shorter format. "Prithvi Shaw is a small child. He's only twenty-three. He's still getting the hang of T20 cricket. He has a great deal of skill and will only grow better. Sometimes we ask too much of people too soon, and I'm confident Prithvi will succeed given his skill set," he continued.

Sourav Ganguly feels the impact player for the IPL should be disclosed at toss.
Saurav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals, speaks to the media on March 27, 2024, the Wednesday before the IPL 2024 T20 cricket match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.Sourav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals and a former captain of India, supports keeping the impact-player rule in place for the Indian Premier League but prefers that teams make their own decisions at the toss.The impact-player rule has gained a lot of attention in the wake of the recent IPL season, in which eight teams scored more than 250 runs.Ganguly went on to say that he hopes the boundaries would be pushed even further in future IPL tournaments.The impact player rule appeals to me. The only issue I have with the IPL is that I wish the grounds were a little bit larger. On the fringes of the Blue Ocean Corporation's International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference, Ganguly told the journalists, "The fences should go a little behind."It's a fantastic competition. With the impact player, your sole option is to make your decision prior to the toss, thus some skill is required there."So, disclose the impact player beforehand since it would need a lot of talent and strategy. But as for the impact player, I am all for it," the former captain of India stated.Ganguly supported Prithvi Shaw, who had a poor IPL season this year, pointing out that he is still a young player still getting used to the shorter format. "Prithvi Shaw is a small child. He's only twenty-three. He's still getting the hang of T20 cricket. He has a great deal of skill and will only grow better. Sometimes we ask too much of people too soon, and I'm confident Prithvi will succeed given his skill set," he continued.Rishabh Pant, a wicketkeeper-batter, had returned to his previous form, according to Ganguly, following his 2022 automobile accident. "He performed admirably for the DC in the IPL. I have always thought that he is a terrific player, so I was thrilled to see how he returned," Ganguly remarked. "I've said it before: he is extraordinary. Such skill shouldn't be lost for such terrible causes (accident). He is the old Rishabh Pant, having put in a lot of effort to get back to his current position." As he looks to return home from Tripura, Ganguly also hoped that India's wicketkeeper-batter, Wriddhiman Saha, would be selected by the Bengal selectors.He is right to want to play for Bengal. "He is a Bengali boy," stated Ganguly. "He was playing professionally in Tripura, so he moved there for two years. Now that he has completed it, he wishes to be in Bengal. He will definitely be chosen by the selectors for Bengal. "At this time, I'm not participating in Bengal cricket. When I completed (my) BCCI, I did not run for president (stint). I simply took a little vacation. They will carry out the decision made by the officials and selectors," he continued.
USA complete the all-time historic upset by stunning Pakistan in the dramatic Super Over.
After a boundary off the last ball of the USA's run chase sent the match to a Super Over, the tournament's co-hosts triumphed in Dallas, pulling off one of the biggest upsets in history.In six of the eight men's T20 World Cups, Pakistan has advanced at least to the semifinals; they finished second in the most recent competition, which took place in Australia in 2022. However, they faced an American team that executed flawlessly that day to achieve one of the most significant outcomes in the history of the sport.In the Super Over, Pakistan looked to Mohammad Amir, but the USA amassed 18 runs with only one boundary from Aaron Jones' bat thanks to three wides and several overthrows. And as the USA accomplished the most incredible of victories on home soil, Netravalkar Saurabh maintained his composure with the ball.USA, who were set at 160 to win in regular time, came dangerously close to winning the match in the first few overs as their top order effectively thwarted a potent Pakistani attack. After opening batsman Steven Taylor was out for twelve (16) in the Powerplay's last over, co-hosts of the event Monank Patel and Andries Gous put Pakistan on the back foot with a stunning combination that placed them in triple figures and appeared to be in control of the run chase. With a stylish half-century to give his side hope and 68 during a pivotal stand with Gous, Monank was especially outstanding.Aaron Jones hit a superb century (36* from 26), but Pakistan appeared to be on the verge of triumph thanks to a brilliant exhibition of death bowling. Nevertheless, the USA scored 11 runs off the last three deliveries of the innings, with Nitish Kumar hitting the final ball for four to force a Super Over and electrify the Dallas crowd.
