In their first tournament since the retirement of four-time tournament winner captain Meg Lanning, Australia is heavy favorites to capture their seventh crown at the women’s T20 World Cup. Which gets underway on Thursday. With a side that has only twice failed to win the 20-over trophy since the competition’s inception in 2009. New captain Alyssa Healy has her work cut out for her in the United Arab Emirates. Despite being a part of all six of Australia’s previous title victories, the 34-year-old wicketkeeper-batter stated she had “no real expectations” going into this year’s event.

Healy stated in a piece for the International Cricket Council’s website that “it’s the best against the best and whoever can be most consistent or win those little moments along the way can get the job done.”

Despite this, she claimed that her side was full of fresh talent, citing Phoebe Litchfield, 21, and rising all-rounder Annabel Sutherland, 22, as players to watch. Australia face dangerous adversaries India and New Zealand in their group. After sweeping the Kiwis 3-0 in the Twenty20 format. They arrive in the UAE.

Since the 20-over competition’s debut season last year, the Women’s Premier League has been an overwhelming domestic success. Which has improved India’s prospects.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur stated, “If I talk about this team, we have a few players who have been playing for a long time and they really know their roles.”

This is the best team we are going for a T20 World Cup with. India fell in the semi-finals in 2018 and 2023, and they were runners-up in 2020. Sophie Devine of New Zealand will resign her captaincy at the conclusion of the competition, having competed in every World Cup and finished in second place twice.

According to Devine, the T20 World Cup has played a significant role in the advancement and expansion of women’s cricket.

Women’s T20 World Cup ‘Breaking the barriers’

After losing to Australia in the Cape Town final the previous year, Laura Wolvaardt, the new captain of the South Africans, is eager to improve on that showing.

“We considered our World Cup final appearance in 2023 to be a significant turning point in our history,” she stated on the ICC website.

Unexpectedly, the Proteas defeated England in the semifinals. “It was a big ‘breaking the barriers and pushing the boundaries’ moment for the team. “We had previously advanced to the semi-finals several times, so it was crucial for us as a team to be able to advance that far.

We want to take it a step further now and raise the trophy.

When Heather Knight’s seasoned England team takes on the Proteas on October 7. Players like Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, and Nat Sciver-Brunt will be itching for retribution.

In the tournament’s inaugural match, Bangladesh takes against Scotland in Sharjah. The prize money for the champions of the October 20 final is $2.34 million. Which is equivalent to the prize money for the men’s division for the first time.

Compared to the $1 million given to the Australians. When they won the championship in South Africa the previous year, that represents a 134% gain.

The prize money for the champions of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup, which gets underway in the United Arab Emirates on October 3, will be USD 2.34 million. This is a 134% increase over the USD 1 million that Australia received for winning the competition in 2023.

The ICC said on Tuesday that the total prize pool of USD 7.95 million is likewise 225% greater than the USD 2.45 million up for grabs in 2023. The ICC decided in June 2023 to give women the same prize money as men for their individual events, and this forthcoming competition will be the first to do so.

Earlier this year, USD 2.45 million was given to India, the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup winners. The men’s T20 World Cup had 20 participating sides compared to the women’s event’s 10, and the discrepancy between that sum and the USD 2.34 million that the women champions would receive is due to the difference in the number of matches played by teams over the two events.

The 2024 Women’s World Cup runners-up will receive USD 1.17 million, while the losing finalists, South Africa, will receive USD 500,000. The 2024 semi-finalists that lose will receive USD 675,000, up from USD 210,000 in 2023. Additionally, each of the ten teams that compete in 2024 will receive USD 112,500.

Posted on August 31, 2024August 31, 2024 by [email protected]

Team India is all set to face Bangladesh in the upcoming two-match Test series, which begins on September 19 in Chennai. Team India is all set to face Bangladesh in the upcoming two-match Test series, which begins on September 19 in Chennai. The T20 World Cup 2024 champions will return to action. After a more than month absence, having last played against Sri Lanka in a white-ball series.

India played five Tests against England earlier this year, so this will be their return to the longest format after a six-month absence. However, before of the highly anticipated Test series, India suffered a major setback when batter Suryakumar Yadav sustained a hand injury.

The prolific T20I batsman, who has only played one Test in his career, was considering a return to the longer format for India. He was participating in the recent Buchi Babu competition for Mumbai and was also named to the forthcoming Duleep Trophy. Which begins on September 5.

Surya’s plans, however, were thwarted. When he injured his hand during a Buchi Babu tournament play versus Tamil Nadu. According to ESPN Cricinfo, Surya was injured while fielding against Tamil Nadu in Coimbatore.

It was also revealed that Surya’s participation in the Duleep Trophy is unclear at this time. Furthermore, it is unclear whether he will play in the Tests against Bangladesh. Surya previously mentioned his desire to establish his place in the Indian Test team. He made his Test debut in February 2023, against Australia.

Many people have worked extremely hard to earn their status, and I, too, want to earn it again. I debuted for India in Tests. Following that, I was harmed as well. Many people were given opportunities and performed admirably. Suryakumar told ICC that they deserve the opportunity right now.

Shubman Gill made an honest statement regarding the Vice-Captain for India in ODI and T20I Matches

Posted on July 26, 2024 by [email protected]

Shubman Gill, India’s vice-captain in white-ball formats, praised new head coach Gautam Gambhir for his clear thinking, expressing his desire to establish himself as an all-format player in the near future. Gill will serve as the deputy to Suryakumar Yadav in the shortest format and as the second-in-command to Rohit Sharma in the ODIs during India’s upcoming trip to Sri Lanka, starting with the first T20I at Pallekele, Sri Lanka on Saturday. This marks Gambhir’s first tour as India coach, taking over from Rahul Dravid after India’s T20 World Cup victory in the Americas last month.

“We are the world champions and we will aim to play accordingly, and, hopefully, we will achieve more success under the new coaching staff. This is the first time I am working with him (Gambhir),” Gill told the media during a press-meet at Pallekele, Sri Lanka.

“But during those two net sessions, his intent and communication have been very clear. He is very clear about which player he wants to work with at a particular time and on which areas he wants to work with him,” he added.

While his ultimate goal is to bring more success to the team, Gill also aimed to firmly establish himself as an all-format batsman across various conditions.

Although Gill was a travelling reserve with Team India during the T20 World Cup, he could not secure a place in the 15, and the right-hander identified that as the first point of correction.

“During the matches before the T20 World Cup, I could not perform to the level that I was expecting from myself.

“In the upcoming cycle where we will play 30-40 T20Is, I will try to improve my performance as a batsman,” he said.

But the 24-year-old has set his sights on the five-match Test tour to Australia later in the year and on the subsequent Champions Trophy.

We will be participating in 10 Test matches before January, and I am eagerly anticipating it, particularly the five matches in Australia. Following that, we will be competing in the Champions Trophy, which promises to be very thrilling.

“These six matches (3 T20Is and 3 ODIs against SL) are extremely important as we head into the Test matches,” he stated.

So, does being appointed as the vice-captain in the limited-over formats add any extra pressure on him?

“It (vice-captaincy) doesn’t change much. When I’m out there batting, I still need to perform and win matches for the team.

“But when you’re on the field, you need to make a few more decisions, and that’s the only difference,” he observed.

Gill mentioned that the thought process of Gambhir and Suryakumar is quite similar in terms of their vision for the team.

“I believe everyone is on the same page. I have played under Surya bhai, and I think both their (Gambhir and Suryakumar) way of communication and thinking is similar.”

Following Rohit’s retirement from T20Is, Gill will have a new opening partner in Yashasvi Jaiswal, and the vice-captain was confident of making the partnership work.

“We really enjoy batting with each other, especially the kind of shots that we both play, we complement each other. And being the right-left combination…our partnership has been good in the matches we have played together.

“I think we have two 150-run partnerships. We have a very good understanding and communication between us and that’s very enjoyable,” he explained.

Gill also had words of praise for Abhishek Nayar, the newly-appointed assistant coach of India, with whom he had worked at the Kolkata Knight Riders.

“He (Nayar) puts in a lot of effort on the ground. He stays with the players until they are satisfied with their own skills. It’s his biggest plus point,” he added.
