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.

Teen Long Jumper Shahnavaz Khan Draws Strength from Late Father’s Memory and Mentor’s Support to Win Career-Defining Medal
At just 18, long jumper Shahnavaz Khan achieved a milestone that will stay with him for life — a major medal that marks the high point of his young career so far. But behind the leap was more than just athletic training. It was the quiet strength drawn from the memory of his late father, and the steady support of a senior athlete who guided him through moments of self-doubt. Shahnavaz lost his father when he was a child, but he remembers the quiet encouragement and love that pushed him to keep chasing his dreams. “He never saw me jump, but I still feel him with me every time I step onto the track,” Shahnavaz shared, his voice steady. His breakthrough was not achieved alone. A seasoned long jumper from his training camp took him under his wing, offering advice and reassurance in the weeks leading up to the competition. “There were days I thought I wasn’t good enough. He kept reminding me why I started,” Shahnavaz said. Now, with a major medal in hand, Shahnavaz stands at the beginning of what could be a promising journey. But more than the win, it's the personal bonds — the memory of a father, and the presence of a mentor — that ground his feet and push him forward.
England Drop to Third in WTC After Over Rate Penalty at Lord’s
England have been docked points in the World Test Championship (WTC) for maintaining a slow over rate during the first Test against the West Indies at Lord’s. The deduction has caused them to slip to third place in the current WTC standings. According to the ICC, England fell short of the required over rate and were penalized one point for each over they failed to bowl in time. They were also fined a portion of their match fee, in line with standard regulations. The over rate was assessed based on the actual playing time and overs bowled, excluding stoppages and allowances. This penalty affects England’s progress in the WTC cycle, where every point is crucial in the race to the final. Despite winning the Lord’s Test convincingly, the deduction has narrowed their lead over other contenders. Australia and India now sit ahead in the standings, with England closely trailing behind. The second Test of the series will be held at Trent Bridge, where England will look to not only continue their strong performance but also avoid further penalties that could impact their WTC campaign.

The science underlying Hardik Pandya's trademark no-look sixes and his bent bat
When Hardik Pandya knocks his signature no-look sixes, he does so with a casual demeanor; his timing, skill, and power make it appear effortless. His front-curved bat, a novel invention that has been around for a while but has mostly gone unnoticed, helps the star clear the rope.The groundbreaking "bat tweak" started in the 1990s when Sachin Tendulkar asked his bat manufacturer a question. He had seen that after a while of use, his bats would have a wonderful sweet spot—the wood would get compressed, giving the willow a "good dent." Tendulkar said, "Is it possible to have a readymade sweet spot?" The bats were no longer flat as a cutting board, and the response was "yes." They were convex as well.Hardik is a leading contender in the arms battle among six-hitters thanks to his abilities, conditioning, and bat. His bat has about 200 percent more curve than the competition, according to Sanspareils Greenlands (SG), a manufacturer based in Meerut.Hardik has two requirements: the ball must strike the sweet point of the curve and take off at the exact angle that will allow it to travel the furthest. As an SG engineer notes, it's all about the physics. The ball must take off from the bat at a 45-degree angle in order for its trajectory to form a perfect parabola in the air and travel the farthest. The batsman has a better chance of obtaining the perfect angle when the willow is bent.The throwing wedge on golf clubs has an angle that provides elevation. With the curve's assistance, we were able to provide an excellent angle. When struck with the proper force at a 45-degree angle, it travels over 90 meters. Here, that is the science. The ball is lofted by the curve. Anand remarked, "Hardik worked that out."To illustrate the workings of their Arc series bat, the SG engineers draw schematics on their notebooks and use 3D animation on their laptops. Few are longtime employees who have worked at the company for more than ten years and are unwilling to be identified. They are assets that the business cannot afford to lose or identify in a highly competitive market. One may comprehend why T20 cricket has turned into a batsman's game just listening to them. They discuss how the bat's surface lengthens and the sweet spot enlarges as the curve's degree increases.In comparison to a flat bat, a bat with a longitudinal curve has a longer surface if you measure along the curve, such as with a string. The sweet spot or high-performing zone expands as a result of this increased surface area. This implies that even with imperfect timing, the bat has more "forgiving space" to hit the ball accurately. According to a mechanical engineer who serves as Hardik's sounding board, "curving the bat helps increase the area where you get powerful, clean shots."
IPL2025: When the T20 league starts on May 17, Chinnaswamy supporters will pay tribute to Virat Kohli during the RCB vs. KKR match.
During Royal Challengers Bengaluru's game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Virat Kohli, who announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, is expected to receive a heartfelt homage from his devoted supporters. Kohli's devoted supporters wish to honor his exceptional Test cricket career as the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) resumes on May 17 with RCB's matchup versus KKR at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium.In order to honor his contribution to Test cricket, the RCB supporters are urging other fans to show up at the stadium wearing white jerseys. RCB supporters are being urged by the fan-led campaign, which has gained widespread attention on social media, to exchange their RCB uniform for an India Test jersey or a simple white t-shirt. "Bengaluru guys, you have one job to do," was the caption posted by a user on X along with the appeal to wear white shirts. GET THE WORD OUT.Due to the support of several admirers, the project has gone viral on social media. One fan stated emphatically, "I'll be very disappointed if this doesn't happen," while other others urged the RCB supporters to create a "white ocean" at the Chinnaswamy. The feeling was shared by another user, who wrote: "Bengali people, please grant our wish." In Chinnaswamy, we hope to witness a white ocean.
Axar Patel leads DC to a decisive victory over Rishabh Pant's LSG on a night that contrasts for the captains.
Returning to Lucknow for the first time since his unsatisfactory dismissal from the team, KL Rahul ended the game with a spectacular six to go undefeated in a run-chase with a 42-ball 57.On a night full of stories at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium, the Delhi Capitals won by 8 wickets in a 160-run chase, solidifying their status as this season's title contenders. KL Rahul, who is making his first appearance in Lucknow after his unsatisfactory dismissal from the team, ended the game with a spectacular six to go undefeated in a run chase with a 42-ball 57. In the twelfth over of their respective innings, LSG and DC both lost their second wicket. Axar Patel entered when a composed Abishek Porel collapsed. At this point, DC was only under a little pressure to take a few wickets, but it might have grown complicated because new batters take time to get comfortable. With two sixes over the midwicket zone, his favorite hit against spin, Axar took out Ravi Bishnoi in the very next over after Avesh Khan had dismissed him after four dot balls.In the following over, facing Avesh once more after being outscored by a few deliveries, he decided to take a chance and hit a four to try to clear the fielder at mid-off. The most impressive stroke came from Shardul Thakur, who took up a not-so-short ball with the weight still on his backfoot and sent it over long on for a six.
Nitish Rana on RR not selecting him for Super Over against DC despite 51 off 28: "One person never takes the call."
Despite hitting 51 off 28 balls against the Delhi Capitals, Nitish Rana was left out of the Super Over lineup as the Rajasthan Royals entered with Hetmyer and Riyan Parag.Nitish Rana remained in the middle until the 18th over of the chase after smashing 51 off 28 balls. At the Arun Jaitely Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday, the Rajasthan Royals sent neither batsman to bat despite Yashasvi Jaiswal's 51 off 37 balls in the Super Over against the Delhi Capitals. Eyes were rolling when Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag came out to bat in the Super Over. Rana wasn't even on the list of the three batters for the Super Over, but Jaiswal was chosen to bat following a wicket fall.RR's choice proved to be a poor one as Mitchell Starc of DC cramped the Hetmyer for space with yorkers and the reverse swing, allowing him to begin the Super Over with a dot ball. The Australian bowler was hit for four after missing his mark on the next delivery, but he recovered with another low full toss in the third ball. A single was taken by Hetmyer.Starc's low full toss was hit by Riyan Parag over third man for a boundary, sometimes known as a no-ball. After it appeared that RR would easily reach 15 with three balls left, the game took yet another sharp turn. RR was bowled out for just 11 as Parag and Jaiswal were ran out in the following ball.KL Rahul and Tristian Stubbs smash two sixes in the first three balls of Sandeep Sharma's Super Over to give DC a historic victory, so the total was insufficient. Following the game, Nitish Rana stated that the decision to send Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer instead of him for the Super Over was made by the RR management. Rana said he didn't have an alternative response, adding that if Hetmyer had hit a couple of sixes in the Super Over, the questions would have been different."The call is answered by management, not a single individual. Along with two other senior players and coaches, the captain is present. You wouldn't be asking this question if Shimron Hetmyer had hit two sixes. I'll respond with the same response. I have no other response. Every choice we made was the right one. Everyone knows that Hetmyer is our finisher. During the press conference, Rana stated, "He has previously delivered."

KL Rahul will not play in DC's first game against LSG.
Due to personal circumstances, KL Rahul, the new addition to the Delhi Capitals, will not play in Monday's season opener. The Delhi Capitals management has granted the Indian batter, who is expecting his first kid, special permission to miss the game against his old team, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.After finding out that his wife, Athiya Shetty, might give birth at any time, the Indian batter hurried back to Mumbai on Sunday night. On March 30, nonetheless, he is anticipated to play alongside his Delhi Capitals teammates in their second matchup against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The baby is due any moment now, so he has come home to be with his wife. But he will definitely be available for the team's upcoming match," a Rahul family friend stated. Rahul, who has been playing quite well lately, was one of India's best players during their Champions Trophy victory in Dubai. He hasn't played in India's Twenty20 International team, though, and he said at the event in Dubai that he wants to get back into the starting lineup. Rahul trained in Mumbai for the Indian Premier League (IPL) season under India's assistant coach, Abhishek Nayar, before to joining the Delhi Capitals camp in Visakhapatnam. Rahul left LSG, the team he coached for the previous three seasons, and was purchased by the Delhi management for INR 12 crore in the super auction.
Here are the new rules for the Indian Premier League in 2025: impact players, two balls, and saliva use.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) met with the captains and referees of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 teams on Thursday.The easing of the saliva ban and the retention of the Impact Player rule were two of the major rule changes that were reviewed and accepted during the meeting, which was place at the BCCI Headquarters in Mumbai. Given that the IPL 2025 season begins on March 22, these new regulations are anticipated to both enhance and somewhat alter the tournament's dynamics. 1. The prohibition on saliva was lifted The removal of the prohibition on using saliva to shine the cricket ball is among the most significant modifications. This prohibition was put in place as part of health and safety procedures during the COVID-19 epidemic. The BCCI has agreed to permit players to utilize saliva once more after deliberations at a recent captains' meeting, when the majority of team captains endorsed the decision. 2. A second ball is introduced. The BCCI will enact a regulation introducing a second ball in the second innings of evening games in an attempt to solve the dew effect that frequently impacts night matches. After the eleventh over, this new ball will enter the game. Depending on the dew conditions, umpires will have the last say over whether a ball change is required. By reducing any advantages captains would obtain from winning, this rule seeks to level the playing field.
Gautam Gambhir is 'in discussion with BCCI' about giving up his leisure time to play cricket for India: "He has stated that he wants to..."
As the India coach sets out on a unique quest, Gautam Gambhir will not have any downtime during the IPL.Players have dispersed to join their various IPL teams after India won the Champions Trophy. The Indian cricket team's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, has other ideas, though. He plans to use his leisure time to improve Indian cricket by managing and leading more A tours. Gambhir has struggled to sustain the team's Test performance since taking over as coach after India won the T20 World Cup last year. India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Australia after losing a 0–3 thumping at home to New Zealand.Gambhir is taking preemptive measures to avoid a recurrence of recent setbacks during India's forthcoming five-Test series in England, which is scheduled to take place over the next three months. He has stated in discussions with the BCCI that he would like to accompany the India 'A' tour to the UK in order to keep a close eye on up-and-coming players. A tours, which were formerly a common occurrence in Indian cricket, have drastically decreased in recent years, but Gambhir is committed to bringing them back to prominence. In contrast to Rahul Dravid and Ravi Shastri, who choose to take a backseat during the IPL, Gambhir is actively getting ready to captain an India A trip, making sure that up-and-coming players receive the recognition they merit.Since his return from Australia, Gambhir has been in communication with the BCCI. To gain a better understanding of the reserve pool, he has stated that he would like to accompany the India 'A' team on their trip. One may anticipate Gambhir to make more demands in the future given that India won the Champions Trophy as a result of his demands for specific wild card players, according to a source cited by The Times of India.
Can Aravindh Chithambaram, a pawn-lover, become a valuable chess king?
It was appropriate for Indian chess that Aravindh's triumph coincided with 18-year-old Pranav Venkatesh's victory as the World Junior Champion.Think of Aravindh Chithambaram in a game like chess, where young geniuses appear every week. At a time when other grandmasters his age are likely looking for their second wind, the 25-year-old is enjoying the first true gust of tail wind of his career. The Chennai-born player has won two major tournaments in a thrilling few months: the Prague Masters championship last week and the Chennai Grandmasters event late last year. The Prague tournament featured players like Praggnanandhaa, Wei Yi, Anish Giri, and Vincent Keymer, while the Chennai field was crowded with players like Levon Aronian, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, and Arjun Erigaisi.Aravindh's talent has always been evident to those who know him well. In 2013, when Aravindh was just 14 years old, he made some bold predictions in a conversation with the famous Susan Polgar, a fact that his longtime coach, RB Ramesh, loves to bring out. So large that Polgar himself sounded uncertain. Even though the 14-year-old had not yet earned a single International Master norm, Ramesh had attempted to convince her that he was capable of becoming a grandmaster in just six months.

Champions Trophy 2025: After the Kiwis, the Australians will take against the Indian spin foursome.
Following a lackluster performance at the international tournament in November 2021, the mystery spinner dispels skepticism with an incredible five-wicket haul.Following a wicketless performance against Scotland in the T20 World Cup held here in November 2021, Varun Chakaravarthy left and would not be seen in Indian colors again until October 2024.He was anxious as he took the field at the location once more on Sunday. He may have solidified his place in India's T20 team thanks to impressive IPL performances, but there have been many questions about whether he can maintain the same aura in ODIs and whether he can deliver powerful spells when batsmen have time to dismiss him.Varun will attempt to address each of those inquiries during the evening and defend his selection in the team, which came at the cost of a batting prodigy such as Yashasvi Jaiswal.
