Glenn Maxwell Equals Rohit Sharma s Record With Match-winning Ton vs India Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell equalled India skipper Rohit Sharma s record as he struck an unbeaten 47-ball ton to keep the series alive for Australia, helping the Baggy Greens clinch a victory in Guwahati in the third T20I against India on Tuesday. With the 47-ball hundred, Maxwell also equalled the record set by Aaron Finch and Josh Inglis (earlier in the series) for the fastest ton by an Australian in men s T20Is.
Maxwell also equalled Rohit Sharma s record for the most centuries in men s T20Is with his fourth hundred in the format.
Maxwell s previous T20I ton had also come against India in Bengaluru in 2019 in another mammoth run-chase that Australia successfully accomplished.
Maxwell arrived at the crease in the final over of the powerplay after opener Travis Head provided the ideal start in the run-chase.
Marcus Stoinis s struggle in the middle overs put the onus on the experienced all-rounder to recreate his World Cup heroics against Afghanistan.
The all-rounder, who hit the fastest Cricket World Cup hundred last month, was on 42 off 22 balls when Stoinis departed with Australia needing 95 runs off seven overs.
Back-to-back maximums in Arshdeep s over set the tone for the visitors charge in the death overs.
Suryakumar Yadav shelled a catch by rival skipper Matthew Wade and the Aussies cashed in on the reprieve big-time.
The final two overs saw Prasidh Krishna and Axar Patel combining to concede 45 runs.
Prasidh had 21 runs to defend in the final over but Maxwell laid into him, leaving the speedster clueless.
Australia eventually clinched the victory by five wickets, keeping the series alive.
Maxwell Recreates World Cup Heroic Knock As Australia Win By 5 Wickets Glenn Maxwell recreated his World Cup knock against Afghanistan as he single-handedly guided Australia to a five-wicket victory in the third T20I at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Maxwell s destructive mood spoiled the party for the Indian team in his 100th T20I game and made it even more special with an unbeaten 104 off 48 balls. He became the joint fastest Australian player to complete a century in the history of T20Is joining Aaron Finch and Josh Inglis
While chasing 223, Travis Head continued to ride high on confidence picking boundaries for fun after making his return to the field of cricket since Australia s World Cup triumph.
While opening along with Aaron Hardie, the left-handed batter played the first 12 consecutive balls and struck 25 runs. Hardie struck two boundaries in leg-break spinner Ravi Bishnoi s over.
Australia steamrolled in the first four overs amassing 46 runs. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh provided the breakthrough with a swinging delivery sending Hardie back with a score of 16(12).
Avesh Khan who came in to replace Mukesh Kumar scalped his first wicket of the night dismissing the dangerous-looking Head for a score of 35(18).
Bishnoi completely bamboozled Josh Inglis with a quick googly which zipped through the gap and clipped the bails off the stumps. Glenn Maxwell arrived at the crease and smashed Prasih Krishna all over the field to keep Australia on course of the mammoth chase.
Australia ended the first 10 overs with a score of 105/3.
Ravi Bishnoi s spin continued to cause trouble to Australia s batters as he sent Tim David back to the pavilion for a golden duck. But from that point, Maxwell channelled his inner self that guided Australia to victory against Afghanistan in the World Cup and silenced the Indian bowling line-up with his brute strength.
Back-to-back maximums in Arshdeep s over was the beginning of the chaos that was about to unfold in the death overs. During the calm before the storm, Suryakumar Yadav dropped Matthew Wade s catch.
The final two overs saw Prasidh Krishna and Axar Patel combining to concede 45 runs. Prasidh had 21 runs to defend in the final over but Maxwell with his raw hitting power left the speedster with no answers. Australia clinched the victory by five wickets.
Earlier in the innings, Ruturaj Gaikwat went unbeaten, showcasing why he is touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket. After operating at a strike rate below 100 initially, the right-hander opened out in the latter half of the Indian innings, going at a strike rate of over 215.
He struck 123* off 57 balls powering India to a mammoth total of 222/3.

Australian left-arm seamer Jason Behrendorff bowled a mean spell at the start of the Indian innings, sending back opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who slammed a quickfire fifty in the previous match, for six.
Behrendorff produced an exceptional opening burst, picking up one wicket at the expense of just five runs. After the fall of Surya s wicket, Ruturaj put his foot on the pedal and scored at a strike rate of over 185, racing to the nineties in no time.
He struck 123* off 57 balls powering India to a mammoth total of 222/3.
Watch: 16 Needed Off 4 balls, Glenn Maxwell Unleashes Mayhem vs Prasidh It was Glenn Maxwell show yet again at an Indian cricket ground. This time the venue was the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati and Indian cricket team was at the receiving end. India posted a huge 223-run target for Australia. While the visitors lost wickets at regular intervals, they stayed in chase with Glenn Maxwell playing the lead role. The Australia star scored 104* off just 48 balls, with eight fours and eight sixes. But what he did in the last over by Prasidh Krishna is going to be remembered for a long time to come.
Australia needed 21 runs off six balls to win. On the first ball of the last over by Prasidh Krishna, Australia captain Matthew wade hit a boundary and then took a single. The equation was then 16 needed off four balls. Maxwell first hit a six and then three straight fours to take Australia to their first win of the five-match series.
MAXWELL DOES IT AGAIN

In conversation!
19.5 overs (4 Runs) Four!
19.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Glenn Maxwell is turning the game on its head. Banged into the pitch around the fourth stump line. The batter waited for it, looked to slap but immediately changed his mind and sliced it towards deep backward point for a four.
19.3 overs (6 Runs) SIX! IT S A BIG SHOW IN GUWAHATI! Length and outside the off stump line. Width on offering outside the off. Glenn Maxwell goes deep inside the crease and sways it over the deep cover-point fielder for a six. Rinku Singh at the edge of the boundary ropes could only watch it sail over.
19.2 overs (1 Run) In the air and just short of sweeper cover. Full and wide outside the off, angled across the southpaw. Wade mistimes the slice and gets just a single.
19.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Perfect start to the final over for the Aussies! Short ball, off-cutter over the middle and leg. Wade middles the swivel pull over the backward square leg region for a four.
Prasidh Krishna to bowl the final over. It is going right down to the wire. Can Krishna defend 20 runs? Let s find out. Also, due to the slow over rate India have one less boundary rider which could make a massive difference.
18.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR BYES! Length and angling down leg. It was flatter and Maxwell missed on the reverse sweep. Ishan Kishan misses to grab the ball behind the stumps and the cork flurries towards the ropes for four byes.
18.5 overs (1 Run) Full and outside the off. Wade miscues the drag towards left of the bowler for a single.
18.4 overs (6 Runs) SIX! MAXIMO! Full and around the fifth stump line. Wade gets the space to go down the ground and times it off the middle of the bat. It was in the slot and Wade gets the desired result on the free-hit.
18.4 overs (1 Run) No ball! Fuller than a length, wide outside the off. Wade tries to inside out and gets beaten on the outside edge. The keeper whipped the bails in a jiffy but the umpire signals it wide. The TV umpire has been referred to. Flat line on Ultraedge as the ball swirls through the willow. The umpire observes that the collection of the ball from the keeper was not fully behind the stumps. Marginally before the poles. And so, it gets converted into a no ball. A free hit on queue.
18.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! A terrific start to the over from Australia. Length and wide outside the off. Wade initially made a tad room but managed to get enough on the slam over extra cover for a four. Suryakumar Yadav did leap and try to catch the ball but it wasn t enough.
18.2 overs (2 Runs) Shortish at the midriff. Wade miscues the pull towards deep backward square leg for a brace.
18.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR!!! Axar from around the wicket in the 19th over. Full and quick outside the off. Wade makes room and slaps it past right of long off for a four. Ravi Bishnoi there did dive forward but could not pull it inside the field of play.
17.6 overs (0 Run) Length and outside the off. The batter goes for a big swing across the line and gets beaten. Frustration in the face of Maxwell.
17.6 overs (1 Run) Wide! Short and leaps up too much to be called a wide.
17.5 overs (1 Run) DROPPED IT! Dear me!! Would ve been a fantastic catch if Surya had grabbed it. Full and keeps it wide of the batter. Wade looks to thump hard and finds Suryakumar Yadav leaping to his left and almost making the catch at extra cover. The ball just spilled off his palm as the body struck on the ground.
17.4 overs (1 Run) Mixes up with the pace-off delivery wide outside the off stump. Maxwell loses his bottom hand on the intended slog and finds a single as the ball fell just short of long on fielder.
17.3 overs (0 Run) Short of a length into the pitch and around the off. Maxwell goes for a wild slog and gets beaten on the inside edge.
17.2 overs (2 Runs) Slower one at the fourth stump. Maxwell manages to flick it towards the gap between deep mid-wicket and long on for a brace.
17.1 overs (1 Run) Full at the off stump from over the wicket. Wade miscues the lofted shot over point for a single.
16.6 overs (1 Run) Full and around the middle stump. Wade looks to scoop it and finds a single down fine leg.
16.5 overs (1 Run) Back of a length, outside the off. Maxwell sways it towards deep cover for a single.
16.4 overs (1 Run) Pitched further up, angling in at the southpaw. Wade plays this one towards long on for a single.
16.3 overs (1 Run) Fuller at the fourth stump, made almost a yorker as Maxwell walked down the ground. He drives it to long off for a single.
16.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! KABOOM! Maxwell at his best in Guwahati. Full and around the off stump. In the slot from the bowler and the Big Show pummels it over the cow corner fence for a six.
16.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Arshdeep Singh s slower one gets pumped over the deep square leg ropes. Full and around the fifth stump. Glenn Maxwell gets across the line sits on both knees and manages to whip this one over the ropes. Wristy bottom hand at its best!
15.6 overs (1 Run) Pitched up at the fifth stump. Driven towards sweeper cover for single.
15.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Full and wide outside the off. Maxwell sits there and tries to stretch out at the line of the ball. He manages to get some bat and slaps the ball, past the diving fielder and scurrys towards deeper extra cover ropes.
15.4 overs (2 Runs) Full and near the fourth stump line. Maxwell mistimes the whip towards right of long on for a couple.
15.3 overs (0 Run) Full and outside the off. Maxwell shuffles across for the scoop and gets beaten again.
A slight halt in the play as Glenn Maxwell has asked for the scrubber to scrub off the mud from under his shoes. The outfield is pretty wet and he wouldn t want to take any chances of slipping. All good now and play can continue.
15.2 overs (0 Run) Good length and outside the off. Maxwell went for the reverse sweep and got beaten.
15.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Out of the screws! Full and straight at the off stump. Maxwell times the flick perfectly and sails the ball over the park, into the stands over deep mid wicket.

PCB Unwilling To Grant NOC To WC Star, BBL Participation Delayed The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is expected to delay the No-Objection Certificate (NOC) of pacer Haris Rauf for his participation in the Big Bash League (BBL). Rauf s NOC certificate is likely to be delayed till December 11, four days after the start of the league. However, there is no confirmation that the NOC will be issued to the pacer immediately after, according to a report by ESPNcricinfo. The PCB wants the 30-year-old pacer to take part in the National T20 Cup in Pakistan, which will end on December 10, for which the apex body of the Men in Green is holding the NOC certificate of the fast bowler, as per ESPNcricinfo.
Recently, Pakistan chief selector Wahab Riaz attacked speedster Haris Rauf for backing out from the forthcoming Australia Tests and said that it would hurt the Men in Green .
While announcing the 18-member squad of Pakistan for their tour of Australia, the chief selector revealed that Rauf agreed to play Test cricket but later changed his mind.
We spoke to Haris Rauf for this tour. When we spoke to him two days ago, he gave his consent to play Test cricket for Pakistan. But last night he changed his mind, and now he doesn t want to be part of this Test series. I m revealing this because we should be honest with officials, teammates, and the public. We spoke to Haris and he was worried about his body and fitness, as well as his workload. Mohammad Hafeez and I sat with him and tried to facilitate him in every way. We told him even if he didn t perform well there, we would accept it, Wahab said earlier.
In the ODI World Cup 2023, Rauf failed to put up a quality performance. He played nine matches and scalped 16 wickets. However, he gave away 533 runs and had an economy rate of 6.74.

13.3 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and that s brilliant captaincy from Suryakumar Yadav. Ravi Bishnoi bowls this one on a length around off with the ball sliding on, just a touch slower as well. David gets a big stride forward and looks to block but does so with hard hands.

The skipper takes an easy catch and holding one over of Bishnoi for David has worked wonders for India as the latter departs for a golden duck.
13.2 overs (1 Run) Full and quick outside off, well over 100 clicks and this is just eased through covers for one more.

3.6 overs (0 Run) Ends with a dot and just 6 off the over, a much better one for India. Short and wide, hitting the deck hard, Aaron Hardie goes after it but only connects with thin air.
3.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Gives the charge and gets it over the infield! This is banged in a bit short around off, Aaron Hardie comes forward and is able to lift the ball over covers with brute force for a boundary.
3.4 overs (0 Run) Swing and a miss! Mixing up the length here as he bowls it a touch fuller again, angling it in from outside off. Aaron Hardie looks to whack it away over mid-wicket but misses it completely.
3.4 overs (1 Run) Wide! Short and wide, a bit too wide though and the umpire signals a wide.
3.3 overs (0 Run) Nicely bowled! Goes fuller now and bowls it in the channel around off, angling it in a bit. Aaron Hardie looks to stay back and run it down to third man but is beaten past the outside edge.
3.2 overs (0 Run) Hits the deck hard again and bowls it around off, Aaron Hardie winds up for the slog but flat -bats it on the bounce to the man at mid on.
3.1 overs (1 Run) Starts off on a hard length and angles this one across the left-hander, Travis Head backs away and looks to fetch and heave it across the line but miscues it behind square leg for a single.
2.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Smartly done by Aaron Hardie! Hardie backs away early and Bishnoi tries to slow it up, Hardie waits and goes into out through the gap at covers and picks up another boundary. 15 off Bishnoi s first over!
2.5 overs (2 Runs) Just drags the length back a touch and bowls the wrong un around middle, Hardie misses the drive and the ball deflects off the pads past short third man. They get a couple of leg byes.
2.5 overs (1 Run) Wide! Drags this one short and down the leg side, lucky for Bishnoi that Aaron Hardie missed the easy pick-up shot over short fine leg. A wide is called though.
2.4 overs (2 Runs) Floats it up a bit around off, Aaron Hardie goes for the slog but gets it off the inner half of the bat toward deep square leg for another brace.
2.3 overs (0 Run) Fires this one in full on middle, Aaron Hardie drills it hard but straight to mid on.
2.2 overs (2 Runs) The big wrong un, flatter and quicker, turning in from outside off, Hardie cuts it off the back foot in front of point and picks up a couple of runs.
2.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Aaron Hardie finally gets to face a ball and gets off the mark with a boundary as well. A loosener from Ravi Bishnoi though as he bowls a juicy full toss outside off. Hardie hammers it away wide of mid off and past the diving long off fielder for a boundary.
1.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! The end result is simply the same! This is pitched up a bit on the stumps, Travis Head takes the front leg out of the way and hammers it flat back over the bowler s head to make it 16 runs in the over, just the start Australia needed.
1.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Make that three! Short and wide, there to be hit, Head backs away yet again and slaps it straight through cover-point for four more runs.
1.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Nailed! Too full on the leg peg, Travis Head stays deep and is able to clear the front leg before whipping it away in front of mid-wicket for a second boundary in the over.
1.3 overs (0 Run) Good length around the top of off, Head looks to cut it behind point but ends up chopping it to backward point.
1.2 overs (0 Run) Much better line! Hard length again over middle and off, Travis Head looks to back away and hammer it over the off side but is well beaten by the pace and bounce.
1.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Thumped away! Hard length to start with, outside off, Travis Head backs away but manages to find enough power to lift the back leg and hit it well wide of mid off for a boundary.
Prasidh Krishna to bowl from the other end.
0.6 over (1 Run) Goes full and wide, swinging it away from the arc, Travis Head backs away and has to really reach for it. Head toe-ends it to the left of mid off for one.
0.5 over (0 Run) Hits the deck hard and bowls it around off, the ball bounces a bit extra this time, Travis Head looks to cut but miscues it to point.
0.4 over (4 Runs) FOUR! Too wide again from Arshdeep! Pitched up outside off, Travis Head frees his arms and goes after it, doesn t get it off the screws but more than enough to get it over covers and find the fence.
0.3 over (0 Run) Good length again, on middle and leg and angling in, Travis Head hangs back and watchfully blocks it out.
0.2 over (0 Run) A stifled appeal and nothing more! Good length on middle, swinging the ball into the left-hander this time, Travis Head stays leg side of the ball but is caught on the crease and gets hit on the pads.
0.1 over (4 Runs) FOUR! Flailed away and Travis Head is up and running! Arshdeep Singh steams in from over the wicket and serves a full and wide one, swinging it away. Head goes hard after it and the ball flies off the outside edge down to third man for a boundary.

In the video, when he was asked what was his name, Kishan replied, VVS Laxman . Later, he was questioned about what sport he plays. To which, he replied, Football .
The left-handed batter was asked, Who is Suryakumar Yadav? , and he said wicketkeeper bowler .
The most iconic moment in the humorous video, Kishan was asked What sport do Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play? . The youngster gave a hilarious answer and said, Kho Kho.
Wrong answers only with @ishankishan51 When wrong is right here, BCCI wrote while sharing the video.

Currently, Kishan has been in his red-hot form. In the first T20I match against the Aussies, he scored 58 runs from 39 balls to help the Men in Blue clinch a two-wicket win.
In the second T20I game, the 25-year-old again slammed a half-century after he scored 52 runs from 32 balls and helped the home side take an early 2-0 lead in the series.
Recapping the previous match, Australia opted to field first. Half-centuries came from Yashasvi Jaiswal (53 in 25 balls, with nine fours and two sixes) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (58 in 43 balls, with three fours and two sixes). These openers put on a stand of 77 runs for the first wicket. Ishan Kishan ended with 52 in 32 balls, with three fours and four sixes.
Nathan Ellis (3/45) and Marcus Stoinis (1/27) were among the wickets for the Aussies.
Coming to the chase of 236, Australia was off to a terrible start and was reduced to 58/4. An 81-run stand between Marcus Stoinis (45 in 25 balls, with two fours and four sixes) and Tim David (37 in 22 balls, with four boundaries and two sixes) threatened India temporarily, but a fightback by Men in Blue saw them restrict Australia to 191/9 in 20 overs.
Ravi Bishnoi (3/32) and Prasidh Krishna (3/41) were the top bowlers for India. Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar got one wicket each.

Shreyas Gifts His India Jersey To Three-Time F1 World Champion Verstappen Sunday was a memorable day for Formula 1 star Max Verstappen, who registered a thumping win at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This was Verstappen s record-increasing 19th win of the year for Red Bull. The three-time world champion came home 17.993 seconds ahead of Ferrari s Charles Leclerc whose bold drive was not enough for the Italian team to claim the runners-up place in the constructors championship. Apart from this thrilling race, another thing which grabbed everyone s attention was the presence of India cricket team batter Shreyas Iyer.
After witnessing Verstappen s magnificent win, the right-handed batter clicked some pictures with the three-time world champion and also gifted him his Indian team jersey.

— Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) November 26, 2023Talking about the Iyer, the middle-order batter had a memorable campaign at the recently concluded ODI World Cup.
In 11 matches, he scored 530 runs which include two centuries and three fifties. He also smashed 24 sixes, which was the third third highest in the entire tournament.
Coming back to Verstappen, he became the first driver to complete a season having led more than 1,000 laps - 1,003 of the 1,325 available - to deliver a percentage rate of 75.70 per cent, a feat that surpassed the 60-year-record of two-time champion Jim Clark, who led 506 of 708 laps at a rate of 71.47 in 1963.
It s been an incredible season, he said. It was a bit emotional on the in-lap, the last time sitting in the car which has, of course, given me such a lot. And I am very proud to win here in the last race and I have to say a big thank you to everyone at Red Bull. It s been an incredible year -- it will be hard to do something similar again.
We know that, of course. You always want to do better but sometimes doing better is not only race wins and potentially winning the championship. We will see! We re working hard for next year to have again a very competitive car.

India had a slow start as compared to the last match as they lost two of their batters early on. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the first one to walk back to the pavilion after an unfortunate edge. Ishan Kishan soon followed him putting his team under pressure. Suryakumar Yadav, the skipper took things into his own hands and played aggressively earning the momentum back in their favor. He couldn t continue his onslaught as he was dismissed by Aaron Hardie but he had got his team back on the front foot. It was Ruturaj Gaikwad s turn next to play the aggressor role and he completed his half-century with equal support from Tilak Varma. They started throwing their hands at every chance they could find and were rewarded with splendid boundaries. Gaikwad was the pick of the batters and planned out his innings brilliantly as he completed his maiden T20I century in style.
That was fast and furious! What a brilliant batting display especially from the opening batter from Maharashtra, Ruturaj Gaikwad! After being under pressure for most of the innings, it was a game for the Indians to steal back in the latter half. A fine century and some aggressive batting from his teammates made sure that India reached a mammoth total of 222.
19.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Dropped and it goes to the fence. In the slot at the off stump. Gaikwad gets it in the slot and pummels it in the gap between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg. Tim David tries his best to pull off a stunner with a diving effort but the ball doesn t stick his palms and deflects behind to find the fence. A massive 30 runs come off the final over and Maxwell gets absolutely thumped in his 100th T20I match. India finish with 222/3 on the board!
19.5 overs (6 Runs) Six! Thwarted again!! Length delivery at the stumps an the batter picks it early and smahes it own the ground for a six. Gaikwad is teeing off Maxwell in this over.

19.4 overs (1 Run) Wide! Full and down the leg stump line. The batter goes for a big hoick and misses it. Wade is not happy.
19.3 overs (1 Run) Full at the stumps. Turns it towards the mid wicket region and sets off for a single.
19.2 overs (1 Run) Length delivery near the off. Gaikwad miscues the heave in front of deep mid wicket fielder for a single. Missed out on the free hit.
19.2 overs (5 Runs) No ball and Four! Length delivery outside the off stump. Ruturaj Gaikwad times the smash down the ground for a four. Oh eh! The siren buzzes up and it will be a no-ball due to overstepping. Free-hit to follow.
19.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! MARVELLOUS!! Ruturaj Gaikwad brings up his maiden T20 ton in Guwahati. What a sensational and mature knock it has been!

18.6 overs (2 Runs) JUST SHORT! Full and wide outside the off, angled across the southpaw. Varma mistimes the slice aerially towards the sweeper fielder who steamed in but failed to reach it. The ball landed in front of him and then spilled off. Couple of runs for India.

Full and outside the off from the bowler. Gaikwad went for a carbon copy of the previous execution. Just a couple.
17.5 overs (6 Runs) SIX! This is a GAIKWAD SPECIAL! Full and much outside the off stump line. The Maharashtra batter triggers across the line, bends low, and times the broom over the long leg region for a maximum. Not much power but sheer timing.

Just the one slip in place, let s play...
Suryakumar Yadav says that they are happy to bat first. He adds that he has instructed his team not to do anything different and to stick to the game plan. He mentions that Mukesh Kumar has his marriage scheduled so he is replaced by Avesh Khan in the squad.
Matthew Wade says they will bowl first and adds that it doesn t matter much with the dew. Mentions that they aren t a hundred percent sure but it is already pretty wet out here. Adds that they have played good cricket in the first two games but need to tidy up in a few areas and they expect it to be a close contest. Informs that they have quite a few changes with the likes of Travis Head, Aaron Hardie, Kane Richardson, and Jason Behrendorff coming into the playing XI.
Australia (Playing XI) - Travis Head (In for Matthew Short), Aaron Hardie (In for Steven Smith), Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (C / WK), Nathan Ellis, Jason Behrendorff (In for Sean Abbott), Tanveer Sangha, Kane Richardson (In for Adam Zampa).
India (Playing XI) - Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav (C), Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan (In for Mukesh Kumar), Prasidh Krishna.
TOSS - The captains are out in the middle. The coin is flipped into the air and lands in favor of Australia. They have elected to BOWL first.
PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta is pitchside and he says that it is a pretty big ground excess of 70 metres on all sides. He adds that this is expected to be a high-scoring venue as well. Hayden is also with Dasgupta and he adds that dew will play an important role on this ground. He mentions that there isn t a lot of grass on the pitch and it is a black soil pitch and the new ball is expected to swing around in both the innings.
India on the other hand is playing some good cricket with the youngsters stepping up in crucial moments. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad are brilliant at the top followed by Ishan Kishan and the skipper, Suryakumar Yadav who have found their rhythm perfectly in this format. Tilak Varma will have to find his form back but the way Rinku Singh is powering the innings at the end will not put him much under pressure. The batters are exceeding all expectations but the bowlers are handling the pressure equally well. Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi have been bowling brilliantly and taking wickets at crucial times supported by Mukesh Kumar who is also improving. India will give it their all to win this match and seal the series with two matches to go. Given that they have been at the top of the game in the last two matches they have the momentum in their favor. They will want to boost their confidence ahead of the series against South Africa in away conditions. Live action will take center stage shortly so stay tuned as we bring you all the updates of this exciting clash. Toss and team news to follow.
Australia has been put on the back foot since the series began. After a World Cup-winning campaign, they were carrying high expectations in the shorter format of the game as well. The batters did a great job posting a high total in the first game but the bowlers failed to defend it. The second game also was a nightmare for the Aussie bowlers as they were hit around the park. The form of Matthew Short at the top will be a topic of concern for the team but Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, and Matthew Wade are playing at the bottom will certainly boost the confidence in the dressing room. Nathan Ellis and Tanveer Sangha are bowling well which is another good sign for the team. With the T20 World Cup coming in a few months the players need to perform well. It is a very crucial match for Australia to win in order to keep the series alive.
Hello and a very warm welcome folks. The India vs Australia T20I series now moves towards the eastern part of the country, Guwahati for the 3rd match. This is expected to be another thrilling contest between these two giants.

Namibia Seal Spot In 2024 T20 World Cup With Victory Over Tanzania Namibia became the first team from the Africa Region Qualifier to qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup with a 58-run victory over Tanzania on Tuesday. The win secured Namibia s spot in the tournament, which will be held in the US and West Indies. Namibia s flawless record of five wins in five games confirmed their spot in the ICC Men s T20 World Cup 2024 and included victories over - Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania. After getting ahead of Tanzania, the Eagles claimed the two points necessary for the qualification and continued to sit on top of the table with 10 points.
The fight for the final spot still wages on, with Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Nigeria still in the thick of the action. Uganda and Kenya still hold their destiny in their hands, while Zimbabwe and Nigeria rely on other outcomes that must fall in their favour.
The victory against Tanzania confirmed that Namibia is bound to feature in the Men s T20 World Cup for a third consecutive time in a row. In 2021, they managed to make their place in Super 12 after finishing second in the group stage but failed to do so last year.
Tanzania won the toss and put Namibia to the test. A collective batting effort from the top four batters put Namibia on the path to a 150-plus score. JJ Smit remained unbeaten, scoring 40 in 25 balls and scoring a single boundary and four maximums. Zane Green and Nicol Loftie-Eaton delivered crucial cameos to put 157 runs on board.
Namibia ended the inning with a score of 157/6.
In reply, Tanzania struggled right from the very first over. Skipper Gerhard Erasmus claimed two wickets, while experienced all-rounder David Wiese also featured among the wicket-takers with a single wicket. Tanzania s struggle was reflected by none of their batters scoring more than run-a-ball.
Amal Rajeevan put up a valiant fight with the bat with his unbeaten 41 but in the end, his efforts went in vain. Namibia won the game by 58 runs.

Hardik Went To GT, Got MBA And... : Ashwin s Crazy Description Of MI Deal Since the weekend, the one news that has got the Indian cricket team talking is the return of Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians. Hardik Pandya became a star T20 player at the Mumbai Indians and then left the franchise for Gujarat Titans. In his maiden season as captain at Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya led them to the title and the next season helped his team finish runners-up.
Ahead of the IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya moved back to his first franchise, Mumbai Indians, following a trade between the two franchises. The all-rounder spent two momentous years with GT, spearheading their campaign with aplomb.
Ravinchandran Ashwin, Hardik Pandya s India cricket teammate and Rajasthan Royals player, described the move in an interesting way.
After Hardik, they have landed gold. They have got an Indian T20 Team captain, who has won an IPL and became runner-up in the last two years in which he was away. It s like calling up your son and telling him, Hey son, here s some money go live the world, man. Go and get an MBA degree , Ashwin told on his YouTube Channel.
So he basically went to GT, became a leader, got an MBA degree and came back home. It s crazy man. He has won a title and become a runner-up, and he became a title by the margin of one ball, here and there.
GT Team Director Vikram Solanki acknowledged Pandya s contribution to the team s success in then last two seasons.
As the first captain of Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya has helped the franchise deliver two fantastic seasons that resulted in winning one IPL championship and one appearance in the final, Solanki was quoted as saying in a statement.
He has now expressed a desire to return to his original team Mumbai Indians. We respect his decision and wish him all the very best in his future endeavours, the former England batter further added.
Solanki, who has closely worked with Gill, vouched for his maturity.
Shubman Gill has shown growth in stature and standing over the last two years at the highest level of the game. We ve seen him mature not only as a batter but also as a leader in cricket, Solanki opined.
His maturity and skill is evident in his on-field performance and we are extremely excited to embark on a new journey with a young leader like Shubman at the helm, the head of GT think-tank said.
1st Test, Day 1: Phillips Claims Four As New Zealand Restrict Bangladesh Spinner Glenn Phillips returned figures of 4-53 as New Zealand restricted Bangladesh to 310-9 before bad light forced an early stumps on the opening day of the first Test in Sylhet on Tuesday. Phillips, chosen ahead of Rachin Ravindra, picked the crucial wickets after opening batsman Mahmudul Hasan hit 86 off 166 balls to give Bangladesh a platform for a strong total. The hosts, who opted to bat first after winning the toss, dominated New Zealand in patches but lost wickets in important phases, with Kiwi bowlers Ajaz Patel (2-76) and Kyle Jamieson (2-52) celebrating success.
Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and one of his predecessors, Mominul Haque, each made 37 runs for Bangladesh.
They put up 53 runs and 88 runs with Mahmudul for the second and third wicket pairs respectively, before their untimely dismissals.
Patel bowled opener Zakir Hasan for 12 to give New Zealand their first breakthrough, before Phillips made Najmul his maiden Test wicket in the morning session.
Kane Williamson ran back from mid-on to complete the catch.
Ish Sodhi and Phillips struck in successive overs just before the tea break to halt Bangladesh s progress further.
Daryl Mitchell took a low catch at slip as Sodhi dismissed Mahmudul, ending his dogged innings.
Mahmudul hit 11 boundaries in his fourth Test half-century.
His dismissal came within five balls of Phillips forcing Mominul to give a catch to wicketkeeper Tom Blundell.
Experienced Mushfiqur Rahim fell to Patel for 12 as Williamson took his second catch of the day.
Jamieson, the only New Zealand pacer with some success, had Mehidy Hasan caught by Mitchell for 20.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan struck a few quick boundaries before Phillips swung momentum further New Zealand s way.
The off-spinner claimed the wicket of debutant Shahadat Hossain, who made 24 before hoisting a catch to Henry Nicholls at short midwicket.
Phillips ended Nurul s innings at 29 six overs later.
Taijul Islam, eight not out, and Shoriful Islam, 13 not out, survived the day after Jamieson made Bangladesh nine down with the wicket of Nayeem Hasan, the pacer s second of the day.
The two-match series marks the beginning of a new cycle for the World Test Championship for both teams.

Pat Cummins Says Players Not Robots As Australia T20 Team Struggles Captain Pat Cummins said on Tuesday that cricketers were not robots with Australia s T20 team struggling in India straight after their 50-over World Cup triumph. Seven of the Australia squad who won the World Cup remained in India for a five-match T20 series that started four days after the November 19 final. A second-string India side won the first two matches and reports in Australia say that six of the seven are now set to return home. The third T20 is later Tuesday.
Ben McDermott, Josh Philippe and Chris Green were among reinforcements being sent to relieve the flagging World Cup heroes, the reports said.
With a busy home summer of cricket looming, including Test series against Pakistan and the West Indies, Cummins acknowledged the burden on the players, some of whom have been playing in India since September.
They re humans, they re not robots, he told reporters at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Putting everything into a World Cup and then playing a couple of days later -- I probably don t begrudge them if they re not at 100 percent.
The skipper added: These are still games for Australia and it s great that these tours do provide opportunities for some of the younger guys, or guys who might not be in the first eleven.
I think these are important tours and you can get a lot out of them.
Veteran opener David Warner, who was withdrawn from the T20 squad on the eve of the India series, is set to bid farewell to Test cricket after the Pakistan series.
Warner s Test spot has been in doubt after a lean run of red-ball form, but the 37-year-old was Australia s leading scorer at the World Cup with 535 runs.
Cummins said Warner was hitting the ball beautifully at the moment .
He wasn t just playing for himself out there, he would go and take the game on, be really brave and really take it to the opposition, he said of Warner s displays in India.
The first Test against Pakistan starts on December 14 in Perth before the Boxing Day match in Melbourne. The third and final Test will be at Warner s home Sydney Cricket Ground from January 3.

Already Made India WC Winner : Akram Wants Fans To Accept Their Mistake Weeks after India s heartbreaking six-wicket loss against Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 final in Ahmedabad, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram blamed the Men in Blue fans for presenting them as the winners of the prestigious tournament before the host country played the last game. While speaking on Star Sports, Akram accepted the fact that it was tough for the people of the host nation that the Men in Blue could not lift the World Cup since they were outstanding throughout the tournament.
He then asked the television, social media, and the fans to accept their mistakes as well since they already made Rohit Sharma s side the winner of the World Cup before the final game.
I can understand that, as a nation, it will be tough to get over it because your team played so well throughout the tournament. They won 10 matches on the trot; there was consistent. But television, social media, fans... you all already made India the winner of the World Cup. You accept your mistake too, I m sorry. You increased the hope of the people because they were playing so well. It s not entirely your fault. They were playing very good cricket. But it came to just one bad game. Credit goes to Australia, Akram said.
Akram further added that the fans have to move on since there s another World Cup coming in just six months.
First of all, the Indian team played really well. It feels like a shock (that they lost in the final), they are down but it s alright. I still get asked about the loss in the 1999 World Cup final. When will our fans forget this? The fans of India and Pakistan have an elephant s memory. It s been 30 years since we lost that final and they still ask me why I opted to bat after winning the toss. So, don t take social media seriously; half of it is just drama. As a nation, you have to move on; there s another World Cup coming in six months, he added.
Recapping the match, India struggled on a tough batting surface after Australia elected to field first, with fifties coming from KL Rahul (66) and Virat Kohli (54). India was bundled out for 240 in their 50 overs. In the chase of 241, Travis Head (137) and Marnus Labuschagne (58*) guided Australia to their sixth WC title at Ahmedabad s Narendra Modi Stadium.
