In response, UP had a very bad start, losing 6 wickets for just 48 runs. Deandra Dottin dismissed two batsmen in the very first over. The Deepti Sharma-led side could not recover from the early wickets and lost the match by 81 runs. After this win, Gujarat Giants have moved from fifth to second place in the points table, while UP has slipped down. </span></p>
<p><span>West Indies player Deandra Dottin, playing for Gujarat, sent Kiran Navgire (0 runs) and Georgia Voll (0 runs) to the pavilion in the very first over. She clean bowled Georgia to claim her wicket. After this, there was a flurry of wickets. Chinelle Henry, playing in the lower order, scored more runs than the top batsmen. She scored 28 runs in 14 balls with the help of 3 fours and 2 sixes. </span></p>
<h2><strong><span>UP Warriors' top order got destroyed</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>After Dottin dismissed two UP batters in the first over, spinner Kashvee Gautam dismissed Vrinda Dinesh in the fourth over on a score of 1. After this, captain Deepti Sharma was expected to handle the innings, but she too was caught out on Meghna Singh's ball after scoring 6 runs. Following her dismissal, Shweta Sherawat perished after scoring 5 runs.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span>Beth Mooney missed a century, played a quick innings of 96 runs</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Earlier, Gujarat Giants, who came to bat first after losing the toss, did not have a good start. Dayalan Hemalatha was sent back for an early shower after scoring just 2 runs as Chinelle Henry got the better of her. After this, there was a brilliant partnership of 101 runs between Beth Mooney and Harleen Deol. This partnership was broken by off spinner Sophie Ecclestone in the 13th over as she clean bowled Harleen. The 26-year-old played an important innings of 45 runs with the help of 6 fours in 32 balls. </span></p>
<div class="abp-story-detail " id="article-hstick-inner">
<p><span>Opener Beth Mooney played a blistering innings of 96 runs, although she fell just 4 runs short of her century. Actually she didn't get the opportunity to face a lot of balls in the death overs. Mooney scored an unbeaten 96 runs in 59 balls with the help of 17 fours. This is the highest individual score of this season in WPL. Sophie Ecclestone took the highest number of wickets (2) for the  UP Warriors while the likes of Chinelle Henry, Deepti Sharma and Kranti Gaud took 1-1 wickets.</span></p>

<p><strong>IND vs NZ: </strong>India delivered a solid performance to defeat New Zealand by 44 runs in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With a win in the last match f the group stage, India have set their semi-final match against the Australian team.</p>
<p>After struggling with the bat early on, India managed to post 249 runs on a tricky pitch. The bowlers, especially the spinners, stepped up brilliantly to defend the target, sealing India's place in the semi-finals.</p>
<h2><strong>Toss and Team Updates</strong></h2>
<p>New Zealand won the toss and opted to field first, hoping to take advantage of early movement in the pitch. Captain Mitch Santner emphasized the need to challenge themselves in different conditions, as they would soon be playing in Lahore. Daryl Mitchell came into the playing XI, while Devon Conway missed out.</p>
<p>India's captain, Rohit Sharma, revealed that he had wanted to bat first anyway, aiming to test his batters upfront and then challenge his bowlers later. India made a single change, bringing in Varun Chakravarthy in place of Harshit Rana. Rohit stressed the importance of bowling in partnerships, as the Indian bowlers had collectively taken 19 wickets in their previous two matches.</p>
<h2><strong>IND vs NZ Match Summary</strong></h2>
<h3><strong> India Batting First </strong></h3>
<p>India posted a competitive total but faced early setbacks. Shubman Gill was trapped LBW, and Rohit Sharma fell attempting a pull shot. The biggest blow came when Kohli, looking in fine touch, was dismissed courtesy of a stunning catch by Glenn Phillips. With India struggling at 30/3, Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel steadied the innings, but their cautious approach meant the scoring rate never really took off.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202503/image_430x256_67c490d9e9f3b.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Iyer brought up a well-crafted fifty before falling to a short ball, while Hardik Pandya played a crucial late cameo, scoring 45 off 45 balls to push India to 249. The pitch appeared slow and assisted spinners, setting up an intriguing second innings.</p>
<h3><strong>New Zealand’s Chase</strong></h3>
<p>Chasing 250 on a turning pitch, New Zealand never really found their rhythm. Rachin Ravindra fell early, thanks to a sharp catch by Axar Patel. Will Young and Kane Williamson stitched together a brief partnership, but Young was cleaned up by Varun Chakravarthy.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202503/image_430x256_67c490d4a2a3e.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>The middle overs were dominated by India's spinners, who choked the scoring rate and forced risky shots. Williamson tried to anchor the innings, but the mounting required run rate got the better of him. Mitchell, Latham, and Phillips attempted to accelerate but struggled against Jadeja and Axar. Chakravarthy's mystery spin proved too difficult to handle, as he finished with a stunning five-wicket haul.</p>
<p>Despite some late fireworks from Mitchell Santner, <strong>New Zealand crumbled to 205, handing India a convincing 44-run victory.</strong></p>

<p>With this win, India confirmed their place in the semi-finals and will now face Australia in a highly anticipated clash. New Zealand, despite the loss, had already secured their spot in the final four and will take on South Africa in Lahore.</p>
<p>The tournament's structure meant India played all their matches in Dubai, avoiding travel to Pakistan. This scheduling decision, stemming from diplomatic concerns, had raised eyebrows but ultimately did not impact India's dominant group-stage run.</p>
<h2><strong>What India Could Learn from the Contest</strong></h2>
<p>Despite the victory, India had a few areas to reflect on. Their top-order batting might be a concern, with Gill, Rohit, and Kohli all falling cheaply. While the middle order showed resilience, a stronger start would ease pressure in knockout games. Another takeaway is the importance of acceleration in the death overs—India failed to capitalize fully, with New Zealand’s bowlers restricting them well in the final five overs.</p>
<p>On the brighter side, India’s spin attack looks formidable, with Chakravarthy emerging as a match-winner. His variations, combined with Jadeja and Axar’s accuracy, make India a tough team to beat on slow surfaces.</p>

<p><strong>AFG vs ENG: </strong>What a Thriller! AFGHANISTAN have defeated ENGLAND in the last ball thriller and the doors of Semifinal Qualification are still open for the Afghans. Incredible scenes from LAHORE and Afghanistan have done it again in another ICC event.</p>
<p>That is what happens when two quality international teams clash in an all-important match. A record-breaking innings from Zadran, followed by a crucial 5-wicket haul by Azmattulah Omarzai, helped Afghanistan to get the better of England in an important match. </p>
<p>Let's take a look at the Match report of AFGHANISTAN vs ENGLAND match and ICC Champions Trophy Points table 2025:</p>
<h2><strong>AFG vs ENG Match Report</strong></h2>
<p>Afghanistan’s innings began with a challenging start as they lost three early wickets for just 37 runs. Jofra Archer bowled a fiery opening spell, dismissing Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sediqullah Atal, and Rahmat Shah. Facing this early setback, Ibrahim Zadran and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi worked to stabilize the innings.</p>
<p>Zadran reached his half-century in 65 balls, but after a steady partnership, Shahidi fell for 40 while trying to play an unorthodox shot against Adil Rashid. Azmatullah Omarzai then played a quick cameo, scoring 41 off 31 balls, keeping the scoreboard moving despite England's pace attack.  </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67bf46beead53.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>As Zadran settled in, he shifted gears after his century, needing just 28 more balls to reach 150. He, along with Mohammad Nabi, punished England’s bowlers, taking full advantage of missed chances and sloppy fielding. Zadran’s powerful stroke play, including a six and three consecutive boundaries off Archer, helped Afghanistan accelerate in the final overs.</p>
<p>Nabi also played a vital role, smashing Joe Root for two sixes. Despite a tight final over by Liam Livingstone, Afghanistan managed to score 113 runs in the last 10 overs, finishing their innings at a competitive 325 for 7. Ibrahim Zadran’s incredible 177 set a new ICC Champions Trophy record, surpassing the previous best. His knock also made him the second player in this edition to cross 150, after Duckett’s 165.</p>
<p>In the chase, again, it was a sloppy start for England as they lost Phil Salt and Jamie Smith under 30 runs. Then, Duckett and Joe Root ensured the next 10 overs with no casualties. Last match hero Ben Duckett just started to accelerate when Rashid Khan found his leg before the wickets. </p>
<p>Harry Brook got a good start again but failed to capitalize on it. England were under pressure all of a sudden, but Jos Buttler came, poured calmness, and put the pressure back on Afghanistan. Azmatullah was exceptional today as he got the crucial wickets of Jos Buttler in the middle and Joe Root in the death overs. Joe Root, before getting out, smashed an exceptional century with a strike rate over 100. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67bf46c2c28aa.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>It looked for once that Afghanistan might pull it after Root's wicket, but Jamie Overton and Jofra Archer added valuable runs, and England were on the top! Just then, threw a regulation catch to the long on, and Afghanistan were pumped again. Fazalhaq and Omarzai didn't give any pace to the ball, and Jofra lost his wicket in search of a SIX as well. </p>
<p>It was all done and dusted for them and disciplined bowling from Afghan bowlers didn't make any mistake!<strong> Afghanistan defeated England by 8 runs</strong>. England are now eliminated from the semifinal race.</p>

<p><strong>IND vs PAK- </strong>India have got their revenge, defeating and knocking Pakistan out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025! With Kohli's ton and disciplined Indian bowling, Pakistan were nowhere close to challenging the Men in Blue, as India dominated the game from top to bottom.<strong><br></strong></p>

<p data-start="0" data-end="341" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Virat Kohli’s masterful innings, Shreyas Iyer’s late onslaught, and a disciplined bowling display ensured India’s dominant victory over Pakistan. The last time these two sides met in an ICC Champions Trophy match was the 2017 final, where Pakistan outclassed India to lift the trophy. However, with this win, India has now leveled the score.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Let's take a look at the Match report and Points table after IND vs PAK:</p>
<h2><strong>IND vs PAK Match Report</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Toss and Team Updates</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first. </strong>India struggled in the chase against Bangladesh and this would have made a big impact on Rizwan's decision to bat first. Fakhar Zaman was out due to Injury and Imam was in and rest team was same for both sides.</p>
<p><strong>India Playing 11: </strong>Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav</p>
<p><strong>Pakistan Playing 11: </strong>Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w/c), Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed</p>
<h2><strong>Pakistan's Innings- 241/10 (49.4 Overs)</strong></h2>
<p>It wouldn't be entirely accurate to say that India dominated from the start. Pakistan's openers, Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq, handled the initial overs well. However, Hardik Pandya struck in the ninth over, dismissing Babar. Shortly after, Imam was caught short of his crease by Axar Patel’s sharp throw, leaving Pakistan at 52/2 inside the batting powerplay.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67bb502b79b44.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Suad Shakeel and skipper Rizwan then stitched a 104-run partnership together and paved a path towards a challenging total but Axar bamboozled Rizwan four runs short of his half-century and on the other end, Hardik Pandya removed the half-centurion Saud Shakeel (62).</p>
<p>Khushdil Shah and Salman Agha got starts but failed to capitalize on them. Kuldeep Yadav got two wickets in two deliveries and Pakistan were heading for a below-par score against a quality batting side. Khushdil Shah put all his efforts but Harshit Rana removed him and that was the wrap for Pakistan's innings at 241 runs. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67bb4f7c7d656.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Indian bowlers deserve praise! They were disciplined throughout and even when they were not getting wickets, they showed consistency with lines and lengths. </p>
<p><strong>Pakistan Runs Scored- 241<br></strong><strong>Wickets- 10<br>Highest Run-Scorer-</strong> Saud Shakeel 62(76)<br><strong>Highest Wicket-Taker-</strong> Kuldeep Yadav (3W)</p>
<h2><strong>INDIA Innings- 244/4 (42.3 overs)</strong></h2>
<p>Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were expected to give a smooth start to India But Shaheen Afridi clean-bowled Rohit Sharma early in the 5th over. Shubman and Virat Kohli went through the damage and put India on a winning stage in the middle. Gill again got out 4 runs away from his half-century and Abrar Ahmed gave his trademark send-off to him.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67bb4f80de911.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Virat Kohli, in the process, hit the landmark of 14,000 runs in just 287 innings and he didn't stop there. Shreyas Iyer also scored a quick fifty and India were just on the doorstep of the victory. Imam Ul Haq caught a flying catch of Shreyas Iyer but it is going to be controversial as some angles showed the ball was touching the ground. </p>
<p>Hardik Pandya came and powered a couple of hits but fell prey to Shaheen Afridi but it was too late. Virat Kohli neared his 51st ODI ton and with a winning FOUR, he got his 82nd international century and <strong>INDIA won the match by 6 wickets.</strong></p>
<p>This result for Pakistan is not only a loss against India but also a virtual elimination from the tournament. For India, they have qualified for the Semifinals with this win. Their next match against New Zealand would be more like a practice match for the elimination round. However, India would like to keep the tempo up and put forth the winning momentum.</p>
<p><strong>India Runs Scored- 244<br></strong><strong>Wickets- 4<br>Highest Run-Scorer- </strong>Virat Kohli 100*(111)<br><strong>Highest Wicket-Taker- </strong>Shaheen Afridi (2W)</p>

Kohli’s ton and disciplined bowling powered India to a 6-wicket win, knocking Pakistan out and securing a semifinal berth.

<p><strong>AUS vs ENG: </strong>Australia have made a winning start to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 defeating England at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. The five-wicket win against England have earned them two valuable points and for England, the two remaining games are now just knock-outs. </p>
<p><strong></strong>Even with the depleted side, Australia managed the win thanks to a heroic ton from Josh Inglis and crucial innings from the middle order. England would feel disappointed and they were a bit unlucky today as well. </p>
<h2><strong>AUS vs ENG Match Summary</strong></h2>
<p>The absence of Pat Cummins led Steven Smith to captain the Australian side and straight forward, he made the right call at the toss. The team dealing with heavy losses due to injured players and Australia's bowling was looking pretty weak already. On the other hand, England arrived well-prepared, having gained valuable match practice in India before the tournament. With a settled squad and a clear playing XI, they had the advantage of stability and momentum heading into the competition.</p>
<p><strong>AUSTRALIA Playing11-</strong> Matthew Short, Travis Head, Steven Smith (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wk), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson</p>
<p><strong>ENGLAND Playing11- </strong>Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith (wk), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c), Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood</p>
<h2><strong>England's Innings- 351/8 (50 overs)</strong></h2>
<p>England’s innings began on a shaky note as Phil Salt fell early, followed by Jamie Smith, leaving them at 43-2 inside the powerplay. However, Joe Root and Ben Duckett built a solid partnership, taking England past 200 and putting Australia under pressure.</p>
<p>Just when England seemed in control, Adam Zampa dismissed Root at the end of the 30th over, shifting the momentum. Harry Brook fell cheaply soon after, leaving England at 219-4. Ben Duckett, in the process, scored the first-ever 150-run score in the Champions Trophy. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67ba0507ec70a.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Jos Buttler showed intent but was removed by Glenn Maxwell before he could make a major impact. Livingstone got a start but couldn’t carry on, while Duckett, who held the innings together, also departed in the death overs.</p>
<p>With wickets falling, England struggled to accelerate, losing Brydon Carse late. However, a crucial cameo from Jofra Archer propelled them past 350, setting up a strong total. With the pitch slowing down, England’s bowlers will need to be sharp, as Australia faces a challenging chase.</p>
<h2><strong>Australia's Chase- 356/5 (47.3 overs)</strong></h2>
<p>With Archer and Wood charging in, all eyes were on the speed gun. However, Australia matched England’s aggressive start, racing to 21 runs in the first three overs. But just like their opponents, they lost early wickets, with Travis Head and Steven Smith falling cheaply.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67ba050daeff8.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Despite the setbacks, Australia made good use of the powerplay, reaching 76 runs with Matt Short and Marnus Labuschagne at the crease. Labuschagne fell just short of a half-century, dismissed for 47 by Adil Rashid, and Short followed soon after his 63. At 136-4, Australia needed stability, and their wicketkeepers delivered—Josh Inglis and Alex Carey put together a crucial 146-run stand, keeping their chase alive.</p>
<p>Both were equally aggressive in the chase but <span>Brydon Carse got Carey at 69. Josh Inglis stayed at the other end and smoked his first century in just 77 balls and equaled the fastest century in the ICC Champions Trophy (Virendra Sehwag). Australia needed 34 from 30 and the match was heading to a thrilling end.</span></p>
<p><span>Just after Josh's century, Maxwell took Mark Wood on and smashed a six and a four keeping England away from the balance. They both took the team home with no hiccups. The Centurion Josh Inglis finished things off in style with a SIX to Mark Wood. <strong>Australia Defeated England by 5 wickets.</strong></span></p>

However, their plans took a small hit with Heinrich Klaasen ruled out due to a left elbow injury as a precaution.</p>
<p data-start="0" data-end="854" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Afghanistan, led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, backed their strength in spin, hoping to rattle South Africa early with quick wickets in the powerplay.

<p data-start="0" data-end="854" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">With Afghanistan’s crafty spinners up against South Africa’s explosive batting lineup, the stage was set for a thrilling contest to kick off Group B’s battle for supremacy. </p>

<h3 data-start="0" data-end="854"><strong>SOUTH Africa Innings- 315/6 (50 Overs)</strong></h3>
<p>Batting first, South Africa posted an imposing 315/6 after a strong display from their top order. Tony de Zorzi fell early to Mohammad Nabi’s spin, but Ryan Rickelton (103) and Temba Bavuma (58) steadied the innings with a solid partnership. Rickelton played freely, keeping the scoreboard ticking, while Bavuma took his time before falling after his fifty. </p>

<p>The momentum continued as Rassie van der Dussen (52) and Aiden Markram (52) added more valuable runs. A quick cameo from Wiaan Mulder ensured South Africa finished on a high. Nabi was the standout bowler for Afghanistan, but the rest struggled to contain the flow of runs.</p>
<h3><strong>Afghanistan Innings- 208/10 (43.3 overs)</strong></h3>
<p>Chasing 316, Afghanistan never really got going. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran departed early, followed by a run-out of Sediqullah Atal that left them reeling. Things worsened when captain Hashmatullah Shahidi fell for a duck, leaving Afghanistan at 50/4.</p>

<p>Rahmat Shah (98) fought bravely, holding one end, but lacked support as wickets kept tumbling. Afghanistan had big expectations from the middle-order batters like Omarzai, Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib but it wasn't a day for any. Kagiso Rabada’s accuracy, Mulder’s clever variations, and Maharaj’s spin ensured that Afghanistan never built momentum, eventually being bowled out for 208.</p>

<p><strong>WPL 2025 UPW vs DC: </strong>WHAT A THRILLER! Folks, WPL never misses to provide blockbuster entertainment, thrill and nail-biting contests. In the mouth-watering contest between UP Warriorz and Delhi Capitals, we saw batters slaughtering balls, diving catches, catches dropped and all but it wasn't for the faint-hearted. </p>
<p>UP Warriorz were their own worst enemy with countless errors in the field, and Delhi Capitals made them pay, clinching a thrilling victory in a nail-biting contest. After a crushing defeat in their last game, they roared back to winning ways—but not without drama. What should have been a straightforward win turned into a tense finish, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats until the very end!</p>
<p><strong>Let's take a look at the UPW vs DC Match Summary and WPL Points Table after UPW vs DC: </strong></p>
<h2><strong>UPW vs DC Match Summary</strong></h2>
<p>Delhi Capitals won the toss at first and asked UP Warriorz to bat first. There was no change in their playing 11 whereas UP Warriorz had two changes- <span>Alana King and Saima Thakor missed out, and Chinelle Henry and Rajeshwari Gayakwad were in.</span></p>
<p>UP Warriorz accepted the batting invitation and had an eventful first innings, starting with a blazing knock from Kiran Navgire, who smashed a quick fifty in just 24 balls. However, her wicket triggered a collapse, as they slipped from 66/0 to 82/4 in no time. Swetha Sehrawat then played a steady innings, scoring 37 off 33 balls, helping to stabilize things.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b6193698366.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Towards the end, Chinelle Henry provided a late boost with an unbeaten 33 off just 15 balls. However, Delhi Capitals made a strong comeback in the final three overs, allowing only 16 runs. UP Warriorz managed to post 166 runs, but they might feel they missed out on an extra 10-15 runs. Shikha Pandey was quite expensive today but Delhi Capitals were spot on as a unit in bowling.</p>
<p>It is now an open secret in the WPL world "Get DC openers, win the match". In contrast, the Delhi Capitals' openers started things in fashion. Not only Shafali Verma, but Lanning also went blazing right from the start. The chase of 167 looked easily chasable with these two on the strike but Shafali was caught at the deep just after the batting powerplay. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67b6192d30591.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Jamimah got a duck this time but Delhi Capitals were in control throughout the chase and even the wicket of Mag Lanning in the crucial stage didn't bring panic. Marizanne Kapp and Annabelle Sutherland stitched together the winning partnership and took the team to the <strong>second win of the tournament by 7 wickets. </strong></p>
