ICC Champions Trophy: As the last date of Squad submission for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is approaching, New Zealand have announced a formidable 15-men squad for the ICC event. Kane Williamson's return and the Captain-appointment of Santner are the main highlights of the announcement. 
This much-anticipated tournament marks the Champions Trophy’s return to the cricketing calendar after an eight-year hiatus. This time, the event is set to take place in Pakistan and the UAE. 
<h2>New Zealand Squad for ICC Champions Trophy Announced</h2>
The squad was announced at an event held at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland. Excitement centered on the inclusion of three promising fast bowlers: Ben Sears, Will O'Rourke, and Nathan Smith. This will be the first ICC senior event for all three players, adding a fresh dimension to the Blackcaps’ campaign.
Ben Sears, a 26-year-old pacer, has been selected despite being uncapped in ODIs. Sears has represented New Zealand in Tests and T20Is, but a knee injury kept him sidelined for much of the year. He recently returned to competitive cricket in the Super Smash.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6783396d8bd01.jpg" alt="">
Will O’Rourke, another promising fast bowler, has impressed in the early stages of his international career, particularly in Tests. Nathan Smith, known for his lower-order power-hitting and seam bowling, rounds out the trio of newcomers. Head coach Gary Stead lauded their inclusion, emphasizing the depth and talent they bring to the squad.
The squad also features a balance of youth and experience. Mitchell Santner will lead the team in his first ICC tournament as captain. Santner is supported by senior players Kane Williamson, Tom Latham, and Devon Conway. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_678339705b7a3.jpg" alt="">
Williamson and Conway, however, face tight scheduling challenges due to their commitments in the SA20 league. While Latham will take on wicketkeeping duties, Williamson’s vast experience will be crucial in anchoring the batting lineup.
New Zealand’s bowling unit looks formidable, with seasoned pacers Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson providing stability. Ferguson, however, will miss the preparatory tri-series in Pakistan due to his participation in the ILT20 playoffs. Jacob Duffy has been named as a reserve player in case Ferguson’s availability becomes an issue. The spin department is equally well-stocked, featuring Santner alongside all-rounders Michael Bracewell, Glenn Phillips, and Rachin Ravindra.

The Blackcaps famously defeated India in Nairobi in 2000 to win the inaugural Champions Trophy, then called the ICC KnockOut Trophy. More recently, they have consistently performed in global events, reaching the semi-finals in four of their last five ICC tournaments.
New Zealand is grouped in Group A alongside hosts Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Their campaign begins with the tournament opener against Pakistan in Karachi on February 19. Only the top two teams from each group will progress to the semi-finals, making every game crucial. 
The Blackcaps’ support staff includes batting coach Luke Ronchi, bowling coach Jacob Oram, and spin coach Rangana Herath, who brings valuable subcontinental expertise. As the countdown to February begins, the team looks to build momentum and deliver a performance worthy of their reputation as one of the world’s most consistent cricketing nations.
<h3>Tri-Series Between Pakistan, New Zealand, and South Africa</h3>
The road to the Champions Trophy begins with a tri-series involving Pakistan and South Africa, starting on February 8. This series will serve as a vital tune-up for the team, with matches against Pakistan and South Africa on February 8 and February 10, respectively, followed by a warm-up game against Afghanistan on February 16. 
Head coach Gary Stead stressed the importance of these games, given the tournament’s compact format. “The Champions Trophy requires teams to hit the ground running, and our preparations in the tri-series will be critical,” he said.
Stead expressed confidence in the squad’s ability to rise to the occasion. “We’re fortunate to have a mix of players with significant international and tournament experience. It’s a great opportunity for the newcomers to showcase their skills on the global stage,” he added.

NZ vs ENG 3rd Test: The third and last test of the England tour of New Zealand 2024 came to an end after the home team cleared up the lower order of England and clinched a consolation win in the series. This win has pushed New Zealand up to the fourth rank from the sixth.
The hosts had already lost the series after heavy defeats in the first two Tests, but this final match carried special significance—it was Tim Southee’s farewell game. A victory here would have offered a much-needed silver lining. As the match ended, Southee picked up a stump and led his team off the field, basking in the applause from the crowd.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_6760ec257790c.jpg" alt="">
The moment was made even more special when he received a warm hug from former teammate and current England coach, Brendon McCullum, bringing a heartfelt close to his illustrious Test career.
England may have won the series, but their tour ended on a sour note with New Zealand’s commanding victory in the final Test. Despite the setback, England had plenty to celebrate, including Harry Brook’s brilliant batting and Brydon Carse’s leadership of a sharp seam attack in the first two matches. Beating New Zealand at home is a tough challenge, and England can still take pride in their overall performance.
<h2>WTC 2025 Points Table Updates</h2>
New Zealand are fairly happy with the win in the last test. However, they would have been a lot happier if they had won the series. The two back-to-back losses in the first two tests brought down the PCT of New Zealand and dropped them from 4th rank to sixth rank with a 44.230 winning percentage. 
Just after winning the last match, New Zealand got their rank back. The massive 423-run win helped New Zealand to go to a 48.21 winning percentage. England, who were in 5th spot with over 45 PCT, now are sixth again with 43.18 PCT.

The farewell test of Tim Southee and the New Zealand team gifted him the win in his last test. NZ secured a massive win of 423 runs in the last test of the series.

New Zealand made a big jump on the WTC points table after the win in the last Test of the series.

SL vs NZ ODI Series: Sri Lanka bags the third consecutive ODI series win after the last ODI of a three-match series against New Zealand, which was called off due to rain in Pallekele International Stadium. 



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-nz-odi-series-summary">SL vs NZ ODI Series Summary</a></li><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-nz-3rd-odi-highlights">SL vs NZ 3rd ODI Highlights</a></li></ul></nav></div>



 Sri Lanka Cricket Team is becoming the home giants under the head coach Sanath Jayasuriya. They first defeated India 2-0 in August, then they hosted West Indies and defeated them 2-1 in the T20I series and also in the ODI series by 2-1. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/sl-VS-ind-SERIES.jpg" alt="IND vs SL 3rd ODI: Historic! Fernando-Mendis-Wellalage Trio Thrived as Sri Lanka defeated India by 110 Runs" class="wp-image-145341" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Historic! Wellalage's fifer helped Sri Lanka to sum up India (Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



New Zealand's entire tour of Sri Lanka was a failure in itself. They could just win a T20I game and lose everything else. Sri Lanka are coming out as a strong home team in the Jayasuriya's era and it is time for them to dominated overseas as well.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-nz-odi-series-summary">SL vs NZ ODI Series Summary</h2>



It was New Zealand's turn to visit Sri Lanka and they leveled the T20I series 1-1 in the first hand. Then, in the ODI series, Sri Lanka posed an unmatchable challenge against New Zealand in the first 2 ODIs and also came victorious. The last ODI, played on 19 November, the rain interrupted and only a 21-over game was played before the rain and officials had to call off the game. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-nz-3rd-odi-highlights">SL vs NZ 3rd ODI Highlights</h2>



Having already conceded the series after losses in the first two matches, New Zealand chose to bat first after winning the toss. The team started brightly, with Tim Robinson striking boundaries off Dilshan Madhushanka in the opening over. However, their momentum was cut short when Robinson, attempting a drive in the fourth over, mistimed his shot to mid-off, handing Mohamed Shiraz his maiden ODI wicket.



Despite the early setback, Will Young steadied the innings with a composed approach. He capitalized on loose deliveries, punishing both Shiraz and Chamindu Wickramasinghe with consecutive boundaries in successive overs. His confident stroke play kept the scoring rate steady, putting pressure back on the Sri Lankan bowlers.



Meanwhile, Henry Nicholls complemented Young by employing sweeps and laps to accumulate runs effectively. The duo maintained a solid rhythm, rotating the strike efficiently and building an unbeaten 88-run partnership that anchored New Zealand's innings.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/391258-1.jpg" alt="SL VS NZ ODI SERIES" class="wp-image-149609" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SL vs NZ: Will Young (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Young reached his eighth ODI half-century shortly before rain interrupted play, ending New Zealand's hopes of a comeback in the series. With the match unable to resume, Sri Lanka secured a convincing 2-0 victory in the three-match SL vs NZ ODI series.



New Zealand wrapped up their subcontinent tour with mixed results. They began with a 2-0 loss in the Test series against Sri Lanka a few months ago but made an incredible comeback by whitewashing India 3-0 in India?a historic achievement in challenging conditions. Following that, they returned to Sri Lanka and shared the honors in the T20I series, which ended 1-1.



However, their performance dipped in the ODI series, where they suffered a 2-0 defeat against the hosts. Despite the setbacks, their emphatic Test series win over India will remain a significant highlight of the tour. The team now heads back to New Zealand to prepare for an upcoming three-match Test series against England, scheduled to start later this month.



Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will travel to South Africa for a two-match Test series. This series is set to commence at the end of November, marking an important challenge for the team as they aim to build on their recent performances and an eye on the WTC Points Table.

SL vs NZ ODI Series: Sri Lanka Bags The ODI series after Rain Washes Out the 3rd ODI

sl-vs-nz-odi-series-sri-lanka-bags-the-odi-series-after-rain-washes-out-the-3rd-odi

India: Team India under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma suffered their first-ever home Test-Series whitewash in a three-match Test-Series, losing the 3rd and final Test-Match at Wankhede Cricket Stadium of Mumbai by a margin of 25 runs on Sunday 3rd of November.



Last week in the city of Pune, the Black Caps became just the third team after Australia in 2004 and England in 2012 to execute a Test-Series victory versus India in India in the 21st-century since the 1st of January, 2001.



Following their defeat in the Mumbai Test Match, the Men in Blue have dropped from the first position to the second rank in the overall standings of WTC, with their PCT dropping to 58.33, falling behind reigning-champions Australia who have a better PCT of 62.5.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/390288.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149175" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Virat Kohli had a Forgetful Test-Series versus New Zealand | Image: Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



New Zealand on the other hand have jumped from the fifth spot to the fourth position, with their PCT increasing to 54.54 from 50, slightly above South Africa?s PCT of 54.17 and less than the PCT of Sri Lanka (55.54).



With India dropping to the second place, Sri Lanka in third position, New Zealand in fourth, and South Africa in fifth spot, separated by a PCT of less than 4.5, this outcome has now produced a logjam in the middle portion of the points table.



The Rohit Sharma-led team cannot afford to suffer another defeat in their remaining five Test-Matches if they want to qualify for the final of WTC. By winning all five matches in the Border Gavaskar 2024 series versus Australia, the two time runners up can reach a maximum points tally of 158 points with a maximum PCT of 69.29.

IND vs NZ: Updated WTC Points Table following New Zealand's historic series whitewash over India

ind-vs-nz-updated-wtc-points-table-following-new-zealands-historic-series-whitewash-over-india

IND vs NZ 3rd Test: This is the first time in the last 12 years when India lost a home test series and this has put the skipper Rohit Sharma and new head coach Gautam Gambhir under a lot of heat. There is a possibility of a couple of changes in the playing11 of India and here we are with the 2 Changes India might make for the IND vs NZ 3rd Test.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#2-changes-india-might-make-for-the-ind-vs-nz-3rd-test">2 Changes India might make for the IND vs NZ 3rd Test</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#1-mohammad-siraj-in-for-akash-deep">1- Mohammad Siraj IN for Akash Deep</a></li><li class=""><a href="#2-kl-rahul-in-for-sarfaraz-khan">2- KL Rahul IN for Sarfaraz Khan</a></li></ul></li><li class=""><a href="#india-playing-11-prediction">INDIA PLAYING11 Prediction For IND vs NZ 3rd Test</a></li></ul></nav></div>



India played a test series against Bangladesh at home prior to the current New Zealand Series. Team India's performance in that series set the strong foundation for the era of the new head coach Gautam Gambhir but no one would have imagined that building was just about to collapse in their next home series against New Zealand.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Kiwis-script-iconic-history.webp" alt="IND vs NZ: Ravindra and Young led New Zealand to an iconic Test victory after 36 years; Match Summary, Updated WTC Standings and many more" class="wp-image-148736" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kiwis script iconic history after Test victory in India after 36-years: IND vs NZ (Image: India Today) </figcaption></figure>



After India's heroic win against Bangladesh in the two Tests, the stakes and expectations were high for India to slaughter the Kiwis down but the Blackcaps turned the table upside down and now they are in a dominating position with the series 2-0 in their pocket. 



Defeating India in India was something the world hadn't witnessed in the last 12 years, but this New Zealand side wrote the history of winning not just the Test Match but also the Test series. 



After the humiliating series loss, Rohit Sharma said "We are allowed one such performance in 12 years. If we were collapsing like this regularly then we would not have been winning at home. We have a lot of expectations. We are expected to win every game at our home, and it is because of our performances."



Now, the eyes are on the third and last match of the series. India would be highly anticipating a consolation win in the last match but this would require a lot more than what they did in the first two tests.



There are possibilities of a couple of changes in the playing11 of India and below are the 2 Changes India might make for the IND vs NZ 3rd Test:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-changes-india-might-make-for-the-ind-vs-nz-3rd-test">2 Changes India might make for the IND vs NZ 3rd Test</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-mohammad-siraj-in-for-akash-deep">1- Mohammad Siraj IN for Akash Deep</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/gettyimages-1406369659-612x612-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-147241" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mohammed Siraj (Photo by Philip Brown/Popperfoto/Popperfoto via Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Mohammad Siraj played the first test but his performance forced the skipper to replace him with Akash Deep. But, India need more experienced players in the last Test and Wankhede's Pitch suits more to Siraj. 



The team would also like to play Kuldeep Yadav but there is no spot in the team to place him in. The team would be more focused on strengthening the batting.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-kl-rahul-in-for-sarfaraz-khan">2- KL Rahul IN for Sarfaraz Khan</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/KL-Rahul-1024x683.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah to PLAY 3rd India vs England Test, India's Test Squad Selection in a day" class="wp-image-125743" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: BCCI.tv</figcaption></figure>



Sarfaraz Khan tried his level best in the first test to save the match but it was not meant to happen. However, his big runs in the second innings of the first test secured his place in the playing11 for the second test. 



KL Rahul is a quality and defensible player, while Sarfaraz is an aggressive option and team in this situation requires a player with good techniques and experience and KL Rahul takes the lead here. Also, <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/sarfaraz-khan-642525">Sharfaraz</a> is a top-order batter while Rahul is comfortable batting down the order.

IND vs NZ 2nd Test: After a historic test match won by New Zealand, the eyes will be on the India vs New Zealand 2nd Test starting October 24. Here we are with the Full Squads, Probable Playing11s, Venue, and Pitch Report for the IND vs NZ 2nd Test.

Despite the joy brought by Sarfaraz Khan?s impressive 150 and Rishabh Pant?s electrifying performance, India suffered a bitter defeat, losing the Test match in Bengaluru by eight wickets. This was some team game and performance by the Blackcaps in the Bengaluru test.



Batting first, India recorded the lowest total at home. New Zealand overtook India's 46 without losing a wicket and then summed up a big 1st innings total of over 400 runs. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Will-Young-and-Rachin-Ravindra-help-NZ-win-first-Test.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-148735" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kiwis script iconic history after Test victory in India after 36-years (Image: India Today) </figcaption></figure>



India's bowling, which usually thrives in home conditions, fell short this time. Rohit Sharma?s selection choices were questionable, and the overall bowling performance was underwhelming, particularly during Tim Southee and Rachin Ravindra's partnership on Day 3.



However, India powered a strong comeback in the first two sessions of Day 4 but the last session saw another middle-order collapse and took the match out of India's palm. New Zealand needed just 107 runs in the second innings to seal the match and the kiwis did something they haven't been able to do since 1988. After 36 years, NZ defeated India in a test match in India and that too by 8 wickets.

Now, both teams will be preparing for the second test of the series. India would try to check a couple of boxes around the playing11 while New Zealand would be looking to be more precise with their plans.



Let's take a look at the Overview, Full Squads, Probable Playing11s, Venue, and Pitch Report for the IND vs NZ 2nd Test.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-nz-2nd-test-pune-pitch-report">IND vs NZ 2nd Test MCA Stadium, Pune Pitch Report</h2>



Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium typically offers a favorable surface for batters. However, with a black soil pitch, the ball tends to come onto the bat more slowly. There's a strong possibility of a turning track, especially with India adding Washington Sundar to the squad for the remainder of the series.



Sundar's inclusion suggests a spin-friendly surface, and the black soil will likely enhance the spinners' impact. While batters may enjoy some freedom early in the game, the pitch is expected to favor spin as the match progresses.

ICC Men's Test Team Rankings: New Zealand have just come up with a historic win against India in India after 36 long years and became the first team in the last few years to defeat India in India. The International Cricket Council have released the latest ICC Men's Test Team Rankings after IND vs NZ 1st Test and here we are with the latest updates.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Kiwis-script-iconic-history.webp" alt="IND vs NZ: Ravindra and Young led New Zealand to an iconic Test victory after 36 years; Match Summary, Updated WTC Standings and many more" class="wp-image-148736" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kiwis script iconic history after Test victory in India after 36-years (Image: India Today) </figcaption></figure>



How often do we hear that India lost a home match? It happened quite a long time ago, and New Zealand have done it after so many years. Also, New Zealand defeated India in a home test 36 years ago, and they outclassed India. 



The India vs New Zealand 1st Test started with Day 1 being washed away by rain. India won the toss and opted to bat first. New Zealand wrapped up Indian innings for just 46 runs and that became the lowest total of Indian team in India. 



New Zealand didn't let go of the advantage and scored over 400 runs in their first Innings. India then batted the way they are known to bat and recovered the deficit but the second new ball wrote the story of their second collapse in the same test. India managed to get a lead of 106 and New Zealand covered it with just losing two wickets. 



Along with New Zealand, Pakistan won a home test after 1300+ days defeating England.

In the latest Rankings update, India is ranked second with a rating of 121. Australia is at the top of the table with a 124 rating in 30 matches. 



England is ranked third with 108 ratings and South Africa follows them with 104 ratings. New Zealand are ranked sixth with 89 ratings in 25 matches played and Pakistan are ranked 8th with 76 rating points.

ICC Men's Test Team Rankings Latest Updated After IND vs NZ 1st Test

Women's T20 World Cup Final 2024: We are just a few hours away from the historic Women's T20 World Cup Final 2024 where both the finalists have never won a single T20I cup. Here we are with the Full squads, Probable Playing11s, and Pitch Report of Dubai International Cricket Stadium for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Final 2024.

South Africa are in their second final in a row and this time they don't have the mighty Australia in the opposite corner. In the last final, South Africa lost to Australia but they took equal revenge by eliminating Australia in the semifinals this year.

South Africa were not the favorites to reach the final but they broke the delusion by first defeating West Indies by 10 wickets in the tournament and now they are in the finals. They will have their heads up and confident for the match tonight.



New Zealand, on the other hand, entered the tournament with a 10-match losing streak and everyone sidelined them in the top four teams. With a meticulously crafted year-long strategy, Sophie Devine and her team delivered a shocking blow to one of the tournament favorites in their opener.

This victory virtually secured their spot in the knockout stage, where they later exacted revenge on the team that had previously denied them a semifinal berth and they are high on the confidence for the final today.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="dubai-international-cricket-stadium-pitch-report">Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report</h2>



In Dubai, chasing teams have emerged victorious in 7 out of 11 matches, with four of those wins coming in the last five games played, all of which were night matches. Both West Indies and South Africa successfully chased targets in their recent games to secure spots in the semifinals and final, respectively.



The surface is expected to be fresh but still, it didn't seem to be a high-scoring final. Expect a low-scoring but thrilling contest between two quality teams in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024.

New Zealand

India batter Virat Kohli was back in the Ranji Trophy after 12 long years as he played for his state team, Delhi, in the game against Railways. The match between the two teams concluded on Saturday (1st February) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. 
Virat Kohli playing for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy seemed like a festival as a huge amount of people arrived at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi to see their favourite batter play. More than 15000 people were in the stands, and it was the first time that the Ranji game witnessed such huge crowds. 
Virat Kohli grabbed all the spotlight as he fans every moment to cheer and made the crowd chant "Kohli, Kohli". The batter was also seen getting engaged with fans as he involved two different sections of crowds in a competition of who would be shouting louder. 
With a lot of fans turning up to see him, it was expected he would set the stage on fire with the bat and give his fans a gift in return. But that wasn't the case as the batter failed to get going and score just 6 runs before he was removed by Himanshu Sangwan. 
Himanshu Sangwan sent the offstump of Virat Kohli for a ride as the batter got bowled. The India batter didn't get to bat in the second innings as Delhi won the game by a massive margin of innings and 15 runs to bag important points in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. 
Even though Virat Kohli struggled to score runs, he made sure that he entertained the crowd. The batter also came up with a hilarious gesture during the match, and it left many in splits as the video went viral on the internet within seconds. 
In the video that has gone viral on the internet, Virat Kohli can be seen throwing the ball to the bowler. However, as he attempts to throw the ball, it slipped out of his hands and went back. This even made the batter laugh as the ball went past him.

England batter Ben Duckett is enjoying his time in India as the two teams lock horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. The series has already been won by India after they won the fourth game of the series in Pune. 
The final game of the series will be played on Sunday (2nd February) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The  England team will be keen to win the match and enter into the ODI series on a high by ending the series with a margin of 3-2. 
One of the key performers for England in the ongoing tour has been Ben Duckett. The opening batter, after failing to score runs in the first two games, came up with the magical efforts in the third and fourth match. He looked in solid touch and troubled the Indian bowlers. 
Ben Duckett slammed a vital half-century in the third game and followed it up with a 39-run knock in the 4th IND vs ENG T20I. The batter has been at his aggressive best while opening the innings and would be keen to carry on the same form in the last match. 
His form will be crucial for England in the last game. He, along with Jos Buttler, has looked like the settled batter in the series for visitors. The opening batter would want to cash on the form and help his team make a strong comeback in the series. 
Ben Duckett, since the last year, has been in red-hot form and has been consistently scoring runs for England in all three formats. The opening batting will be crucial for his team in ODIs as well followed by the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Ahead of the fifth IND vs ENG T20I match, Ben Duckett was seen playing street cricket in Mumbai. In the video that has gone viral on the internet, the opening batter can be seen hitting a six in a shadow batting effort on the footpath.

The T20I series between India and England is all set to reach a conclusion. The fifth game of the five-match series, which will be a dead rubber between the teams, is scheduled to take place on Sunday (2nd February) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. 
India has already won the five-match T20I series against England. They won the fourth game of the series by 15 runs and took an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series. They now would be keen to win the last game as well and seal the five-match series by the margin of 4-1. 
One of the heroes for India during the fourth IND vs ENG T20I series was Shivam Dube. The all-rounder was drafted into the team as a replacement for Nitish Kumar Reddy and then got the opportunity to play in the 4th game, which took place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. 
On his comeback game for India, Shivam Dube set the stage on fire and made sure that bails the team out of trouble. He came to bat when India was under massive pressure and lost four quick wickets. The Southpaw soaked in all the pressure and took a team to the big total. 
Shivam Dube slammed a terrific half-century and, in particular, targeted Adil Rashid. The lanky batter was all over the opposition and hit the bowlers all around the park. He played an innings of 53 runs and helped India post a total of 181 runs, which at one moment seemed impossible. 
<h2>Shivam Dube faced concussion duirng first IND vs ENG T20I, likely to miss 5th game</h2>
During his innings, Shivam Dube was also at the receiving end of a nasty blow. He was hit on the head during the last over, after which he faced a concussion and then was replaced by Harshit Rana, who made his debut for the team and picked three wickets to help the team win. 
With Shivam Dube facing a concussion, there is a lot of speculation about whether the all-rounder will be fit for the next game or not. However, as per the reports in the Times of India, he will be missing the next match, which will be a dead rubber. 
The reports added that if Shivam Dube will be unavailable then Ramandeep Singh is expected to replace him in the team. The Punjab all-rounder made his debut for India in the T20I series against South Africa and looked decent with the bat and ball.

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: In a match that swung like a pendulum, both teams fought tooth and nail in a contest filled with twists and turns. India have defeated England in the 4th T20I by 15 runs and won the 17th T20I series in a row. 
India’s early collapse left them gasping for breath, but a remarkable fightback brought them back into the game, thanks to two key players. England, chasing a challenging target, seemed to be in control until a sudden shift changed the course of the match. With wickets falling in clusters, the momentum shifted again and again. As the final overs approached, it was anyone’s game. 
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Match Summary</h2>
For the first time in the series, Jos Buttler made the right call at the toss and opted to bowl first after winning the flip of the coin. They had two changes - Mahmood for Wood, and Bethell for Smith. Meanwhile, for India, Rinku Singh was fit and available so there were going to be some changes to the squad. Arshdeep came in place of Shami, Rinku came in for Jurel, and Shivam Dube came in for Washington Sundar. 
INDIA Playing11: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy
ENGLAND Playing11: Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood
<h2>India Innings- 181/9 (20 Overs)</h2>
The Indian innings began on a shaky note, as early wickets put the team under pressure. Sanju Samson, the opener, was dismissed cheaply for just 1 run, followed by Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav, who both fell for ducks in the same over. This was the first time Saqib Mahmood played against India in India and he made the most with three wickets in his first over. The scoreboard showed a fragile 12/3 after just 2 overs, leaving the middle order to rebuild.

It was a daunting situation, but Abhishek Sharma rose to the occasion, playing a spirited knock. He added 29 runs, providing some stability before falling to Rashid. Despite the early collapse, Sharma’s contribution offered a glimmer of hope.
As wickets continued to fall, it was Rinku Singh who took charge next. His 30 runs came at a steady pace, keeping the innings afloat amid the tumbling wickets. However, with the loss of Rinku, Hardik Pandya stepped in and took charge. His aggressive knock of 53 off 30 balls injected much-needed momentum into the innings.
Pandya, known for his flair, played some brilliant shots, taking on the bowlers with confidence. But as he was dismissed at 166/6, the task of reaching a competitive total seemed daunting again.

In the final overs, Shivam Dube kept the hopes alive, contributing another vital 53 runs. With his resilience and some decent contributions from the middle order, the Indian team recovered from the early collapse and put forth a competitive total of 182 runs.
The innings ended at 181/9, with the team left to reflect on a few crucial missed opportunities. The loss of wickets in quick succession early on severely hampered their progress, making it difficult to post a bigger total. The standout performances of Pandya and Dube were overshadowed by the fragility at the top, leaving India with a comparatively easier target to defend.
England Innings- 
England Started with Salt and Duckett and they just smashed all Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground in the first powerplay. Ben Duckett just went furious with an over 200 Strike rate in the first 6 overs losing his wicket on the last ball of the powerplay. Before that, he smashed 39 runs off just 18 balls. Phil Salt was equally aggressive, smoking four boundaries in the powerplay but fell against Axar Patel in the very next over after the powerplay.

Buttler went back soon in the 8th over and India were back in the game in the span of just 10 balls after the powerplay. Livingstone and Brook played out the tough session and the pressure started to build. Harshit Rana, the concussion substitute in for Shivam Dube got Liam Livingstone in the second ball of his first over. 
Harry Brook took the charge and started the counterattack. He took Harshit Rana on for 18 runs in the 14th over but couldn't do it for long as Varun Chakravarthy got him just after the completion of his half-century. England were in all sorts of trouble as Bryden Carse also lost his wicket in the same over.

Harshit Rana again struck in his third over and took Bethell out of the game. Soon, Bishnoi got Archer and England were 8 down for 146 runs. They still needed 36 runs off 18 balls. Harshit bowled a tight 19th over and it was all over for England in the last over when Arshdeep Singh got Saqib Mahmood and England were bowled out for 166 runs. The picture was looking pretty clear after the 18th over and Harshit Rana made it obvious that India wins the series.
INDIA won the match by 15 runs

India's stunning recovery from 12/3 to post 181/9 was enough to defend against England, who fell short at 166, losing by 15 runs. Harshit Rana, the debutant rose to the moment and India won a thriller.

India fought back brilliantly after early setbacks, while England's chase crumbled under pressure from spinners, handing India a narrow victory.
