IOC Confirms Cricket will be Part of LA Olympic Games 2028 : First Appearance of Cricket in the Olympic

The International Olympic Committee(IOC) accepted the proposal of the International Cricket Council (ICC) to add cricket to the Olympic Games 2028, which is scheduled in Los Angeles, United States, in the year 2028.

In the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai on 16 October 2023, took a formal decision for the inclusion of cricket in the Olympics 2023. The ICC took multiple initiatives to Promote cricket on an International Level. As a result, the IOC added cricket to the Olympics.

ICC Chairman Greg Barclay on inclusion of Cricket in Olympic Games 2028:

ICC World Cup 2023: India Playing 11 prediction, 2 players to watch out for against Bangladesh

India team are off to the dream start in the ICC World Cup 2023.  With the way they have played, they have become a team to beat in the tournament. They started the tournament with a resounding win against Australia and then thumped Afghanistan and Pakistan by a big margin to make it three out of three. The focus now shifts towards their fourth game, which will be played against Bangladesh on Thursday (19th September).

Although India has won three games in the ICC World Cup 2023 but Bangladesh will be a big challenge for them. Their record against them of late hasn’t been great as they just had one win against them in the last four encounters. 

India would be aware of that and would be hoping to turn things around this time in the ICC World Cup. Coming to the playing the XI, there’s no doubt that skipper Rohit Sharma along with Shubman Gill will open the innings in the IND vs BAN game. 

Rohit Sharma has been in terrific form in the ongoing tournament. After bagging a duck against Sri Lanka, he smashed a blistering century against Afghanistan and followed it up with 86 against Pakistan. On the other hand, Shubman Gill recovered from dengue and looked in good touch against Pakistan.

Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer are no doubt expected to bat at No.3 and No.4 against Bangladesh. Both the batters have looked in great touch in the ICC World Cup 2023. While Kohli smashed two half-centuries in the first two games, Iyer blasted an unbeaten fifty against Pakistan. 

KL Rahul since coming back from injury has looked a different beast altogether. There’s no brainer that he will keep the wickets and bat at No.5 against Bangladesh. He won India the game against Australia in a tough situation and would be vital for India in the rest of the tournament. 

Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja will be the two all-rounders in the team. They have done an exceptional job with the ball in the tournament. They haven’t done much with the bat but are expected to play a huge role as the tournament progresses. 

Shardul Thakur might have to face the axe for the game against Bangladesh. Mohammad Shami or R Ashwin might replace him in the team depending on the conditions. Thakur hasn’t performed well and has leaked runs as well. 

Kuldeep Yadav will be there as the spin bowling partner along with Ravindra Jadeja. He has been India’s trump card in the tournament and would be hoping to continue his good run. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are expected to be the two pacers. They have been exceptional in the last few games.

Here’s India’s XI for the game against Bangladesh protection

One of the key Indian players to watch out for against Bangladesh will be young Shubman Gill. He will be eager to make a statement as he missed the first two games of the ICC World Cup 2023 due to dengue. He scored 16 runs against Pakistan but with the way he times the ball, it didn’t look like he was out of action. He is the leading run-getter this year in ODIs and will be one of the key performers going into the game against Bangladesh.

Another player he will be under the spotlight against Bangladesh would be Kuldeep Yadav. The leg-spinner has looked unplayable in the tournament. He along with taking wickets has also been economical. With Pune wicket being good for spinners, he’s likely to play the key role. 

SA vs NED Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala | South Africa vs Netherlands ICC World Cup 2023

SA vs NED: Temba Bavuma and his co. have entered the ICC World Cup 2023 in style and some commitments and today they will be facing the Netherlands team in the 15th match of the 2023 ODI World Cup. It was rainy day in Dharamshala yesterday and it is predicted for today as well. This post will lead you to the SA vs NED Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala.

Temba Bavuma-led South Africa will lock horns against Scott Edwards-led Netherlands on 17 October at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Stadium (HPCA Stadium), Dharamshala. As the winter is approaching the Northern Part of India, it is expected to be cold weather in the morning and at night, and the contest is scheduled to start at 02:00 PM IST.

It is quite visible that South Africa love to bat in the Indian conditions or should we say, love to defend. They are heading to their 3rd contest in this World Cup riding over a couple of wins by huge margins while defending the total. South Africa posted a record 425 runs on board in their first outing against Sri Lanka and won the match by 102 runs.

Following that, they posted a 311-run total against an Australian lethal but quite out-of-form bowling attack. They bowled out Australia in just 177 runs and successfully defended their total and won the second game by 134 runs.

The Dutch were defeated by Pakistan and New Zealand. They have yet to reach 250 in this competition. They suffered a crushing 81-run defeat in their opening match against Pakistan before losing to New Zealand by 99 runs. If they suffer another defeat, the happy state they found themselves in when they beat Zimbabwe and the West Indies to qualify for the championship in July would come crashing down.

Down below is the SA vs NED Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala:

SA vs NED Weather Forecast

ENG vs BAN | Match 15 of the ICC World Cup 2023 will take place on October 17 (Tuesday) at HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala. The play begins at 02:00 PM IST.

SA vs NED Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala | South Africa vs Netherlands ICC World Cup 2023
SA vs NED Weather Forecast Of HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala (weather.com)

It is biting cold in the Mountains this week. According to weather.com, it is an overcast, cool day with a partially clear sky in Dharamshala city of India. The weather forecast shows moderate possibilities of rain during the game. The temperature of Dharamshala city will stay at 16-17°C for the most part of the day and drop further to 12°C at night.

There are moderate chances of rain during the day. Around a ~40% chance of rain at the start of the match and lower down as the game goes on. Humidity is in a higher range, hovering around 80%. Winds will gust toward the Northeast at the speed of ~8kmph during the day. Not so much but there are chances that rain might interrupt the play as the weather is dynamic there in the mountains but we hope we may enjoy a full 100-over game.

SA vs NED Pitch Report of HPCA Stadium

A stunning HPCA stadium is nestled in the foothills of mountains. The Northern Part of India is nearing winter, therefore playing there during the day will be a bit chilly. Expect some grass on the pitch and a moving ball in the first few overs. The pitches at Dharamshala are more batting-friendly, although this time, attention will be paid more to the outfield.

The HPCA Stadium has a spin option as well, and players like Keshav Maharaj, and Bas de Leede will be crucial in the middle overs. There have only been 6 ODI matches played at this venue, hence the average first innings score is 230.

ODI World Cup 2023 Points Table Latest after Australia vs Sri Lanka, Upcoming World Cup 2023 Matches, Highest Run Getter, Most Wickets All Stats: Sri Lanka extends its losing streak while Australia have broken theirs as they defeated Sri Lanka by five wickets at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 16. The win opened account for Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 with two points and an upgraded net run rate.

The flip of the coin went in Sri Lanka’s favour and they opted to bat first. Sri Lanka got a fantastic opening stand with Prathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera firing at the top of the order. Both batters looked in solid touch and notched up their individual fifties without giving away their wickets.

The two stitched up 125-run partnership when the dismissal opened the room for Aussies to break in and dismantle the Lankans. Prathum Nissanka scored 61 runs and was the first wicket to fall. Later Kusal Mendis also departed with a score of 78.

Post the dismissal of the two openers, Australia never let the opposition settle in and rule the roost. Wickets fell in clusters and the entire batting lineup was wrapped in the next 84 runs. Australia bundled out Sri Lanka for 209 runs, following that dominating 125-run opening partnership.

In the process, Adam Zampa scalped four wickets, while Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins got two in their bags each. Glenn Maxwell also got one under his belt.

209 runs were never going to threaten the mighty Australians, who are known to make comebacks. However, things took a sharp turn when David Warner and Steve Smith were removed by Dilshan Madhushanka in the same over, which derailed the entire chase of the Aussies.

Mitchell Marsh and Marnus Labuschagne did some rescue work before they could take on the bowlers completely and dominate. Marsh scored a quickfire 50 runs from 51 deliveries while Labuschagne was dismissed after scoring 40 runs.

Later in the innings, Josh Inglis scored his maiden half-century in the ODI World Cup 2023 and took his side closer to the win. For the final blows, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis played some fine shots to take their side home against Sri Lanka.

Australia won the contest by 5 wickets with 14 overs to spare. The win also ensured that Australia opened their account in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 Points Table, following two consecutive losses against India and South Africa.

AUS vs SL: WATCH: Livid Mitchell Starc warns SL Batter of MANKAD at the start of Australia vs Sri Lanka | ODI World Cup 2023

AUS vs SL: WATCH: Livid Mitchell Starc warns SL Batter of MANKAD at the start of Australia vs Sri Lanka | ODI World Cup 2023: In a very fortunate incident for Sri Lanka during the ongoing contest against Australia at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium, Kusal Perera got a lifeline from the Australian pacer Mitchell Starc, who didn’t inflict an easy Mankad at the start of the innings. Parera, who was well outside the crease, could have been an easy wicket for Starc, however, the pacer withdrew by giving merely a warning to the batter.

The incident took place in the very first over of the Sri Lankan innings in Lucknow. In the fourth delivery of the over, Starc, caught Kusal Perera just outside the popping crease at the non-striker’s end before he could direct the delivery towards the striker. The pacer withdrew from his run-up and the camera angles showed that the non-striker was gone by a mile, had Starc castled the wicket and appealed for it.

However, Starc merely gave a warning to Kusal Perera by saying “Don’t leave your crease,” as informed by the commentator Nassir Hussain.

Hussain also informed that he saw Mitchell Starc having a word with the on-field umpire, informing him of Kusal Perera’s act of getting a head start before the ball left his hand in the past two deliveries, just before he went for his run-up in the fourth delivery.

“After the first ball, Starc had a little word with the umpire, Kusal Perera just leaving his crease… he was saying to Kusal Perera ‘don’t leave your crease’. That’s fair enough, he’s told the umpire now he’s told the batter, stay in your crease at that end… a very eventful first over,” said Nassir Hussain on air during the Australia vs Sri Lanka first over.

Starc once again withdrew from his run-up in the fifth over and this time too Kusal Perera was at the non-striker’s end, however, the batter this time was inside the guided lines as shown by the camera angles.

Interestingly, Starc’s decision to not inflict a run-out at the non-striker’s end, famously called a Mankad, cost Australia heavily. The two Sri Lankan openers gave a solid start to the innings with both of them contributing 125 runs before the first wicket dismissal. Kusal Perera played a brilliant knock of 78 runs in 82 deliveries including 12 boundaries. He was eventually dismissed by Australian skipper Pat Cummins.

Runout at the non-striker’s end has always been a hot topic to discuss among cricket pundits. Some favour the argument while some give their views against it, although, it is a legitimate form of dismissal as said by the apex cricket body.

Mankad, as it is usually called, is well within the ‘spirit of the sport’ and the mode of dismissal is acknowledged by the ICC and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) – the guardians of the cricket laws. The law states that a “Non-striker leaving his/her ground early,” states: “At any time from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non-striker is liable to be Run out if he/she is out of his/her ground.”

AUS vs SL: Sri Lanka in the brink of collapse against Australia

As things stand currently, Australia has got hold of the situation after getting a whack by the Sri Lankan openers early in the innings. The dismissal of the Sri Lankan openers paved the way for Australia to dominate the game and push the opposition into the backfoot, which they have successfully done so far.

The openers together stitched a 125-run partnership and took the team to a solid start, but the team now sees itself amidst hot waters. Australia has managed to get eight breakthroughs in the span of 75 runs and reduced Sri Lanka to 199/8 in 39.2 overs.
