The most successful team in the history of the Women's Asia Cup, India are all set to write another chapter in the book.

Coming back to today's game, India Women are up against Nepal Women. It is a must-win match for Nepal women as losing this will cost them the qualification for the next round.



India, Nepal, Pakistan and UAE are placed in Group A. India are right at the top with two wins and an NRR of +3.298. They are almost certain to make qualification and the race is between Nepal and Pakistan.

Pakistan too have a competition against UAE today and if they win it by a big margin, the road to qualification will be blocked for Nepal Women. They have to give their best against India in the evening match.

(12 June) ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Points Table: Australia became the second team to qualify for the Super 8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 after a convincing win against Namibia. Australia and South Africa are the only two teams in the tournament to collect 6 points in the T20 World Cup Points Table 2024 in the group stage. This post reads the latest updated ICC T20 World Cup Points Table after AUS vs NAM and SL vs NEP.

After South Africa, Australia cemented their spot in the Super 8 stage after an easy win in the 24th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Australia are the defending champion and are one of the favorites since the start of the 2024 ICC event, and just after three matches of the tournament, they have shown why they are!



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aus-vs-nam-match-summary">AUS vs NAM Match Summary</h2>



Australia won the toss first and asked Namibia to bat first. Namibia's innings was a dismal affair, mired in despair as wickets fell relentlessly and runs were a scarce, fleeting hope. Josh Hazelwood and Pat Cummins broke the backbone of the Namibian batting lineup by clinching 3 wickets for just 19 runs at the top.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/zamoa.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup Points Table Updated on 12 June after AUS vs NAM, SL vs NEP | Australia Qualified for Super 8| 2024 ICC T20 World Cup Standings" class="wp-image-135179" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Zampa storms down the Namibia (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Nathan Ellis struck early, trapping JJ Smit LBW with a swift, cutting delivery that set the tone for the carnage. Adam Zampa then entered the fray, mercilessly slicing through Namibia's middle order, claiming four victims and sealing their tragic downfall.



Regular wickets and no such partnership resulted in Namibia ending their innings at just 77 runs. Australia were relentless with the ball and they all already knew, where this game was heading.



David Warner electrified the chase from the get-go, smashing four boundaries in just eight balls, setting the stage for Australia's aggressive pursuit. The onslaught continued as Travis Head unleashed his fury, blasting two fours and a six off Ben Shikongo in the third over.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/travis.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup Points Table Updated on 12 June after AUS vs NAM, SL vs NEP | Australia Qualified for Super 8| 2024 ICC T20 World Cup Standings" class="wp-image-135180" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Travis Head dealing in boundaries (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Despite Erasmus' tight fourth over, conceding only six runs, Australia's determination to finish the game within the PowerPlay was unwavering. Head responded with a dazzling hat-trick of fours off Trumpelmann, and then captain Marsh sealed the emphatic victory with a thrilling sequence of a four, a six, and another four, wrapping up the match with a staggering 86 balls to spare.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-nep-match-details">SL vs NEP Match Details</h2>



The Sri Lanka vs Nepal match was abandoned following the rain interruption. Both teams get a point each from this match. This washout will hurt Sri Lanka the most as their Super Eight qualification chances were hanging by a thread.



Sri Lanka had a T20 World Cup that they would want to erase off the history. They have not won a single match after the three matches and they just have left with one. They are unofficially eliminated from the race of Super 8. Nepal have two games left and they have some chance of making it to the Super 8.

ICC T20 World Cup Points Table Updated on 12 June after AUS vs NAM, SL vs NEP | Australia Qualified for Super 8| 2024 ICC T20 World Cup Standings

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has lent a helping hand to the Nepal National Cricket Team, as they have arranged a tri-series between Baroda, Nepal, and Gujarat. The tri-series between the three teams will be played under the name of the Friendship Cup.



The series will kick off on March 31, 2024, and the final match will be played on April 7, 2024. This series will provide great cricketing exposure to the Nepali cricketers ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup, set to take place in June in the West Indies and USA. Nepal is one of the associate teams that qualified for this year?s 20-team T20 World Cup.



Baroda, led by Krunal Pandya, is a strong contender in the tri-series, poised to provide formidable competition for Nepal after reaching the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final and narrowly losing to Punjab in a thrilling last-ball encounter. The Baroda based team boasts the likes of Vishnu Solanki, Lukman Meriwala, and Krunal Pandya, and all these players have pretty strong records in the Indian domestic cricket scene. But, it?s not yet known how many players will be available to play in the Friendship Cup since IPL 2024 is expected to start on March 22.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/05/IMG_9168-1024x683.jpg" alt="T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-110869" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Nepal qualifies for the T20 World Cup 2024</figcaption></figure>



Talking about the 2024 T20 World Cup, Nepal is a part of Group D, which includes Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and South Africa. Nepal are the weakest team in Group D, but since some changes have been made in the format of the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Asian team has the potential to upset the biggest cricketing nations.



The 2024 T20 World Cup is all set to commence on June 1, and Nepal will face the Netherlands in their opening encounter on June 4. Then they will face South Africa, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.



This year, some changes have been made in the format of the T20 World Cup, as the 20 participating teams will be divided into 4 groups of 5 teams each.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/india/">India</a> and <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/pakistan/">Pakistan</a> are part of Group A, along with Ireland, Canada, and the USA.



Defending Champions <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/west-ham-agrees-loan-deal-for-man-city-midfielder/">England</a> is part of Group B, which consists of arch-rivals Australia, Namibia, Scotland, and Oman. Group C consists of the co-hosts, the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/westindies/">West Indies</a>, Afghanistan, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/new-zealand/">New Zealand</a>, Papua New Guinea, and Uganda, while Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are part of Group D along with South Africa, Nepal, and the Netherlands.



The teams that manage to finish in the top two of each group will qualify for the Super Eight stage, where the qualified teams will get divided into two groups, which will consist of four teams each. The Super 8 draw will be decided on the basis of the pre-tournament seedings of the participating teams, and their finishing positions of 1st and 2nd in the group stage will not be considered for the Super 8 draw. Each participating team will have a fixed group for the Super 8 stage at the start of the tournament.



The teams that finish in the top 2 of their respective Super-8 groups will qualify for the Semi-Finals, and the winners of Semi-Finals 1 &amp; 2 will compete against each other in the Final of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup.

Nepal gained ODI status in 2018, marking a significant milestone. Players like Paras Khadka have become cricketing icons, leading the team with charisma and determination. The spirited fan base, clad in vibrant orange, adds a unique fervor to matches. As Nepal continues to carve its niche in world cricket, the national team serves as a source of pride, embodying the country's cricketing dreams and aspirations.

Nepal national cricket team

The Indian Cricket Team, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma secured a convincing and a easy victory in the first match of the 3-match ODI series versus England in Nagpur and this win have allowed them to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The Men in Blue were asked to chase down a target of 249 runs by the visitors and the Rohit Sharma-led team ended the match in 38.4 overs and won by a margin of six wickets. 
Three Indian batters also successfully crossed the 50 runs mark in the first ODI and overall, the performance of the team was really good. Shubman Gill was the top scorer of the team in the first match, playing a good knock of 87 runs in 96 balls with the help of 14 fours. Shreyas Iyer also contributed in a good manner as he played an explosive knock of 59 runs in just 36 deliveries with the help of nine fours and two big maximums and his explosive batting turned the match in the favor of the Indian Team. 
Axar Patel played a brilliant knock with the bat ahead of Champions Trophy 2025
Spin bowling all-round Axar Patel also played a key role in helping the 2023 ODI World Cup runners-up end the first ODI on a victorious note. He played a phenomenal knock of 52 runs in 47 balls which consisted of six fours and a six and the Indian team management would be happy to see him contribute with the bat in a meaningful manner ahead of Champions Trophy 2025. He also picked up a wicket with the ball in this match. 
Axar Patel creating an impact with both bat &amp; ball is a good sign for the Men in Blue as his presence in the playing 11 can provide some much needed batting depth to the Rohit Sharma-led team in the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.
At the same time, with this amazing all-round display in the first One-Day International versus the Three Lions, Patel has strengthened his case of securing a starting spot before the start of this year's marquee event. With the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Hardik Pandya present in the squad as well, competition will be fierce between all of these players for securing those all-rounder spots in the team. 
Talking about the match, Jos Buttler won the toss and decided to bat first in the sunny afternoon of Nagpur. The visitors got off to a dashing start thanks to Phil Salt as they were sitting comfortably at a score of 74-0 but, due to an unfortunate miscommunication in running between the wickets, Salt got dismissed and went back to pavilion in the ninth over after playing a good knock of 45 runs. 
Following his dismissal, things started to become uneasy for the tourists and they lost wickets in quick succession as the Englishmen were restricted to a score of 77-3 after the conclusion of the powerplay. 
Skipper Jos Buttler and young batting all-rounder Jacob Bethell scored fifties and tried to steady the innings of England but eventually, they got dismissed and things became even more difficult for the visitors. The Three Lions got all out for a score of 248 runs in 47.4 overs and in this way, the Indian team had a target of 249 runs to win.
Rohit Sharma &amp; CO achieved the target in 38.4 overs for 6 wickets. However, the Indian team did not have a good start. Opening batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion cheaply. But after this, thanks to Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel, the Indian team had no problem in reaching the target.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: India have opened the ODI series with a win in 2025, the year of the Champions Trophy. Good win for the home side with a near-perfect team game at Nagpur. Jadeja got a 3-fer, he got the winning runs for India and the hosts are 1-0 up in the series with a 4 wickets win in the IND vs ENG 1st ODI.
Let's take a look at the highlighted moment and match summary of the IND vs ENG 1st ODI at VCA Stadium, Nagpur.
<h2>IND vs ENG 1st ODI Highlights</h2>
<h3>Toss and Team Updates</h3>
Jos Buttler didn't had luck in his favor in the T20I series but here, in the first ODI, he made the right call and won the toss. He opted to bat first and asked Rohit and Co. to bowl. When asked to Rohit, he said "We wanted to bowl first, but it doesn't matter a lot. Need to be aggressive with the ball at the start and then need to do well later."
Virat Kohli wasn't fit, Arshdeep was rested and two youngsters –Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana made their debut for India. Meanwhile, England had Joe Root back on their side strengthening the batting. Below are the playing 11s of both sides:
INDIA PLAYING11: Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami
ENGLAND PLAYING11: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt(w), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(c), Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood
<h2>ENGLAND's Innings- 248/10 (47.4 overs)</h2>
England’s innings in the first ODI against India had a promising start but faltered midway, ending at a modest total of 248 runs. Asked to bat first, England came out with an aggressive approach, particularly Phil Salt, who looked dangerous from the start. He smashed boundaries at will, setting a brisk tempo.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a4ca4182c86.jpg" alt="">
However, a mix-up in running between the wickets brought his innings to a premature end at 43 off just 26 balls. This wicket triggered a sudden collapse, as England went from a strong 75 for no loss to a shaky 77 for 3 in a matter of moments.  
Captain Jos Buttler then steadied the innings with a well-constructed 52, while Jacob Bethell played an entertaining knock, sweeping and reverse-sweeping his way to 51. Just as it seemed England was rebuilding, both batters fell after crossing their half-centuries, halting the momentum once again. Towards the end, Jofra Archer provided a late flourish with a crucial unbeaten 21, helping England go past 240. However, they would feel they missed out on a bigger score.  
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a4ca489380d.jpg" alt="">
For India, the bowlers bounced back strongly after a shaky start. Harshit Rana impressed on debut with three wickets, but it was Ravindra Jadeja who stood out with his brilliant figures of 3 for 26, keeping the English batters in check. India were pleased with their effort, having bowled England out in just 47.4 overs and setting themselves up for a manageable chase.
<h2>INDIA's Innings- 251/6 (38.4 overs)</h2>
India began their chase with an unexpected opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Rohit Sharma, catching many by surprise as Shubman Gill was initially expected to open alongside Rohit. However, Gill was at the crease earlier than expected after both openers departed in quick succession, falling in the fifth and sixth overs with just 19 runs on the board. Rohit Sharma’s struggles in the 2024-25 season continued, with a dismal record across all formats—scoring only 166 runs in 16 innings at an average of just over 10.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a4ca4d7912e.jpg" alt="">
Despite the early blows, Shreyas Iyer took charge with an aggressive counterattack, smashing 59 off just 36 balls, while Gill played the anchor role at the other end. After Iyer’s departure, Axar Patel picked up where he left off, contributing a crucial 52 off 47 balls before being undone by a beautiful leg-spinner from Adil Rashid.
The real match-winner, however, was Shubman Gill, whose outstanding 87 firmly put India in control. A late flurry of wickets caused some jitters, briefly delaying the inevitable, but Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya held their nerve to see India over the line. Sakib Mahmood and Adil Rashid picked up two wickets each, while Jofra Archer and Jacob Bethell chipped in with one apiece.

India Cricket Team player Yashasvi Jaiswal is making sure that he makes his debut a special one. The batter was included in the team for the first ODI against England, which is underway at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. 
Yashasvi Jaiswal was given the debut cap after Virat Kohli missed the first game of the series due to a knee injury. The young batter didn't take much time to make an impact as he came up with the magical catch in the field to send the England opener, Ben Duckett, packing. 
It was during the third ball of the 10th over when Harshit Rana bowled short of length delivery that bounced more than Duckett anticipated. The ball got to the top edge of the batter's bat, and it seemed that the ball would land safely, but Yashasvi Jaiswal came up with a sensational effort. 
Yashasvi Jaiswal ran a long way back from mid-wicket. He kept his eyes on the ball and looked over his shoulders. The young batter maintained his speed brilliantly and then timed his dive to perfection to take the magical catch and give Harshit Rana his first wicket. 
You can watch the video at the end:
The catch of Yashasvi Jaiswal gave glimpses of Travis Head's catch in the ICC World Cup 2023 against India. The Australia batter picked a similar kind of catch to remove India skipper Rohit Sharma and it surely tilted the game in favour of his team. 
The catch of Yashasvi Jaiswal also turned the momentum in favour of India as, after a solid start with the bat, England lost quick wickets. Ben Duckett, who looked solid with the bat, ended with an inning of 32 runs off 29 balls. He also slammed 6 boundaries in his innings. 
Yashasvi Jaiswal is expected to bat in the top order for India in the ongoing game. Ye also has been named in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It will be a great platform for him to grab the opportunity with both hands and make his case strong for the tournament.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The much-anticipated first ODI between India and England at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur saw a major surprise—Virat Kohli was missing from the playing XI. 
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma confirmed at the toss that Kohli had suffered a right knee issue the previous night, leading to his exclusion from the match. While England won the toss and chose to bat first, Rohit mentioned that he had also wanted to bowl first, emphasizing an aggressive start to the series.  
Kohli was seen with a knee strapping during a light practice session before the game, walking carefully. This raised concerns among fans, given his remarkable ODI record at the Nagpur venue. In just five innings here, he has accumulated 325 runs at an outstanding average of 81.25 and a strike rate of 105.17. 
His absence left a big gap in the Indian batting lineup, but it also created an opportunity for young talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana, who made their ODI debuts in this match.  
While the injury was unfortunate, initial reports suggest it is not too serious. Kohli was seen warming up on the field with a kneecap, indicating that he might return soon. However, his absence from this series opener raises questions about his availability for the remaining matches, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy approaching. 
The ODI series against England serves as crucial preparation for the tournament, and Kohli’s presence would have been valuable in building form and momentum.  
Kohli's recent performances have been under scrutiny. His tour of Australia was disappointing, and he struggled to find his rhythm. Even in domestic cricket, he failed to make an impact in the Ranji Trophy. Given that this is the last ODI series before the Champions Trophy, this was a crucial opportunity for Kohli to regain his best form and cement his place as India's key middle-order batter.  
Despite his inconsistent performances in recent months, Kohli remains a vital part of India's ODI setup. His experience and ability to handle pressure situations make him indispensable. The team management and fans will hope that his injury is minor and that he returns to the field soon, ready to lead India's batting charge in the upcoming matches.  
For now, all eyes will be on how India performs without Kohli and whether the young debutants can seize their opportunity. If India manages to dominate England in this series, it will be a confidence booster ahead of the Champions Trophy. However, Kohli’s fitness and form will remain one of the biggest talking points as India builds toward the crucial ICC event.
