Indian Cricket Team will be touring Zimbabwe from the 18th of August this year. The India Tour of Zimbabwe will be an opportunity for many young players. India has always sent a second string or sub-string to Zimbabwe and with the kind of depth that Indian cricket is seeing currently, Zimbabwe is going to find it difficult to win. So, the series is a 3-match ODI setup. All the games will be played at the sports club in Harare. Here is an in-depth look at the same:&nbsp;



<h2>India Tour of Zimbabwe 2022 Schedule</h2>



Below is the India VS Zimbabwe 2022 IDI Schedule:



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Date&nbsp;</td><td>Timing&nbsp;</td><td>Game Details&nbsp;</td><td>Venue&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>18th August 2022&nbsp;</td><td>12:45 PM Indian Standard Time&nbsp;</td><td>India VS Zimbabwe 1st ODI&nbsp;</td><td>Harare Sports Club, Harare&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>20th August 2022&nbsp;</td><td>12:45 PM Indian Standard Time&nbsp;</td><td>India VS Zimbabwe 2nd ODI&nbsp;</td><td>Harare Sports Club, Harare&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>22nd August 2022&nbsp;</td><td>12:45 PM Indian Standard Time&nbsp;</td><td>India VS Zimbabwe 3rd ODI&nbsp;</td><td>Harare Sports Club, Harare&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Indian Team Squad for the India Tour of Zimbabwe</h2>



The BCCI is yet to announce a team for the India Tour of Zimbabwe. But as always, a second-string squad is expected to play against the men in red. Top performers like Rohit, Virat, or Bumrah are not expected to take the flight to the African nation. Hardik or Rishabh can take up the captaincy. The last time when India went to Zimbabwe, was way back in 2016. India won the ODI series 3-0 and the T20I series 2-1. &nbsp;



<h2>Indian Team Preview:&nbsp;</h2>

" class="wp-image-92094"/><figcaption>Hardik who captained India in Ireland can also do a great job in Zimbabwe. IMG SRC: NDTV Sports</figcaption></figure>



The Indian Team is always on the run. The senior players have been rested. The series against the West Indies in the shortest format will take a lot of work from the boys. So, the BCCI is expected to give opportunities to a few fresher faces. Rahul Tripathi is a top prospect. Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya can be the group of senior players. &nbsp;



<h2>Zimbabwe Team Squad for the India Tour of Zimbabwe</h2>



The Zimbabwe cricket board headed by Hamilton Masakadza is expected to announce the team anytime soon. This happens to be Zimbabwe Cricket?s best opportunity to get back to the full bloom they were always in. Zimbabwe Cricket is a clear case of how much damage politics can do to sport. Ever since the cricketers openly criticized the government, Zimbabwe Cricket has been on a downfall. &nbsp;



<h2>Where can you Watch India VS Zimbabwe?&nbsp;</h2>



The broadcasting rights for the series have been taken by Sony Sports Network. So, every Sony Sports Channel is expected to cover the series. However, on television, Sony Ten 2 is preferred. Also, the Sony Liv App will have live broadcasting of the series. In Zimbabwe, the game can be viewed on SuperSport TV.?







<h2>India Tour of Zimbabwe 2022 Predictions</h2>



The cricket team always has the advantage of home ground and supported crowds on the ground. This is a great opportunity for the Zimbabwe cricket team to show good cricket. Performing well for the Zimbabwe team against India will be like a win for them.

India Tour of Zimbabwe 2022: Full Schedule, Squads, Timetable, Venue, Predictions. All You Need to Know.&nbsp;

KL Rahul to miss entire T20I series against West Indies: Reports: KL Rahul, who had tested covid positive on July 21, will reportedly miss the entire T20I leg of the West Indies tour, starting July 29, owing to post-infection recovery and mandatory protocols.



The Indian opener is currently at the National Cricket Academy, Bangalore undergoing rehabilitation and recovery from covid. Rahul has undergone sports hernia surgery in Germany towards the end of June.



Recently, the BCCI shared a video across its social media accounts of the T20I series-bound Indian players. While the likes of Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Dinesh Karthik among others were seen joining the Indian ODI squad in Trinidad, the fans were curious to know where Rahul was.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



"He was understood to be a doubt for the T20I leg of the West Indies tour even if he returned the two mandatory negative tests. Depending on the outcome of his cardiovascular tests, Rahul could have been in consideration for the USA leg of the West Indies T20Is, on August 6 and 7. But now it appears certain that he will skip the tour altogether and instead focus on the ODIs in Zimbabwe, which are part of the World Cup Super League," said the report published on ESPNcricinfo.



Notably, Rahul, who led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Tata IPL 2022, is out of cricketing action since the end of the IPL. KL Rahul was named skipper of the Indian T20I squad for the home series against South Africa, however, he missed the series due to his injury.



Rahul is anticipated to make a comeback during India?s ODI tour of Zimbabwe in August.

Following the wrap of the West Indies tour, India will lock horns with Zimbabwe in the three matches ODI series starting August 18 in Harare. The ODI series will be a part of the ICC ODI World Cup Super League which will later determine the qualifying teams for the ODI World Cup 2023 in India. Being the host, India will automatically qualify for the tournament.

KL Rahul to miss entire T20I series against West Indies: Reports

kl-rahul-to-miss-entire-t20i-series-against-west-indies-reports

The India Tour of Zimbabwe might not sound like a fascinating tour for Indian Cricket fans but it will certainly help us judge a few young players. The full squad for the India tour of Zimbabwe was announced on Saturday. The key takeaways are that Shikhar Dhawan will be leading the side in Zimbabwe too. Rohit Sharma and other senior players have been rested to keep them fresh, fit, and available for the Asia Cup. Washington Sundar and Deepak Chahar are two big names who will make a comeback. Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>India Tour of Zimbabwe Full Squad:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><thead><tr><th>Player Name</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Shikhar Dhawan (C)</td></tr><tr><td>Ruturaj Gaikwad</td></tr><tr><td>Shubman Gill</td></tr><tr><td>Deepak Hooda</td></tr><tr><td>Rahul Tripathi</td></tr><tr><td>Ishan Kishan (wk)</td></tr><tr><td>Sanju Samson (wk)</td></tr><tr><td>Washington Sundar</td></tr><tr><td>Shardul Thakur</td></tr><tr><td>Kuldeep Yadav</td></tr><tr><td>Axar Patel</td></tr><tr><td>Avesh Khan</td></tr><tr><td>Prasidh Krishna</td></tr><tr><td>Mohammed Siraj</td></tr><tr><td>Deepak Chahar</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



The tour will see India playing 3 ODI games against Zimbabwe. With the substring squad that India has picked (which shows the immense bench strength of India), it will be a competitive series. But the players that are selected are domestic giants or players who have already proven their mettle on the global stage. ?



<h2>The probable Playing XI for India is as follows:&nbsp;</h2>



Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj. &nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/07/suryakumar-yadav-min-3-1024x576.jpg" alt="India Tour of Zimbabwe 2022" class="wp-image-92270"/><figcaption>The clarity on why Surya's name is missing is yet to be given.

Zimbabwe is yet to announce its squad. But with the weaker Indian team, they have a good chance to clinch the series, if the players play to their fullest potential. &nbsp;

<h2>Key Takeaways from the ODI Squad of India Tour of Zimbabwe:&nbsp;</h2>



<ul><li>The name of Suryakumar Yadav is missing. Clarity has not been given whether he has been rested, injured, unavailable for selection, or been dropped. He had a string of low scores off-late. But he is a team man and has got out to situational approaches. &nbsp;</li><li>Washington Sundar makes a comeback to the team. The option of Washington will give more balance to the team. He can easily bat number 6 or 7 for the team. &nbsp;</li><li>Rahul Tripathi has been called back. &nbsp;</li><li>Arshdeep Singh?s name is missing. &nbsp;</li></ul>

India Tour of Zimbabwe 2022: Full Squad Announced. Washington Sundar and Deepak Chahar Return. ?

india-tour-of-zimbabwe-2022-full-squad-announced-washington-sundar-and-deepak-chahar-return

The day before, when the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) announced the 15 member squad that will tour the Zimbabwean Republic, all eyes waited for Virat Kohli's name to be a part of it. In vain though.



The squad that will see Shikhar Dhawan as the captain for his consecutive ODI tour does not feature Kohli's name.



It is reported by PTI, that the decision of resting against Zimbabwe was the right-hander's own, and not a part of BCCI's plan.



One unnamed BCCI source quoted, "Virat had spoken to selectors that he would be available from the Asia Cup onwards. This is a two-week window after the Windies tour when they can rest."



<h2>Fans are disappointed in Virat Kohli</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/07/Virat-Kohli-1-1024x641.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" class="wp-image-92309" /><figcaption>Virat Kohli (Image Source: BCCI Tv)</figcaption></figure>



The former Indian skipper last played an int'l game on 17 July, and the next one he plays is going to be in the Asia Cup which commences on August 27. Kohli is, as a result, having a rest of more than 40 days; a 'rest' that has now put the nation to unrest.



The majority of the Indian cricket followers have been of the opinion that this attitude from Virat Kohli isn't going to help him. The frustrated fans have taken to Twitter to share their concerns about the same.



"How much rest does Virat need," reads one of the Tweets while another hilariously terms Kohli as 'restli'.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Rg86037221/status/1553391763607367681

<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/RipNeutral/status/1553595596610609152
</div></figure>



Nonetheless, there's nothing hilarious about the unrest in India. Just that the nation is getting more and more concerned with every series that the swashbuckling batter misses. Since the 2021 T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli has missed six such international series. It all just adds up to the disappointment.



There's the Asia Cup, and then more importantly, the 2022 T20 World Cup coming up. His form is crucial. However, he is yet to be anywhere near his best and has not been able to score a hundred ever since November 2019. Though Kohli was somewhat amongst the runs earlier, the situation got alarming during the latest limited overs tour of England where he accumulated just 45 runs across 4 innings.



This isn't the Virat Kohli that the nation knows. The beast that smacks a ton every alternate game is the one it is habitual to.



There was this argument that a hundred in the three-ODI series against Zimbabwe may have helped Kohli get back to being that pre-2019 beast he deserves to be. Regardless, with him allegedly choosing to sit the tour out, that argument also goes to rest.

Shoulder injury keeps Washington Sundar out of the Indian team touring Zimbabwe: Young spin-bowling all-rounder, Washington Sundar has dealt with another blow as he has been ruled out of India?s upcoming ODI series against Zimbabwe. Sundar is set to miss the three-match ODI series in Harare against Zimbabwe owing to an untimely shoulder injury.



Sundar, who was named in India?s squad for the Zimbabwe tour, suffered a shoulder injury while playing in the Royal London Cup in England. The incident happened in the match between Lancashire and Worcestershire.



He will now head to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bangalore for his rehabilitation program.



"Yes, Washington Sundar is ruled out of the Zimbabwe series. He has suffered an injury on his left shoulder while fielding during the Royal London Cup game between Lancashire and Worcestershire at Old Trafford. He will have to undergo rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy," a BCCI official was quoted as saying by PTI.&nbsp;



Unfortunately, Washington Sundar?s career has been hit by injuries. Since 2021, Sundar has dealt with four major injuries in his hand, finger, hamstring and now shoulder.&nbsp;



"You feel for Washi. Such a talented guy. Somehow or the other, the rub of the green isn't going his way. He needs some luck. The latest injury is a freak one as he was just about to play for India in a week," the official added.



The Tamil Nadu-born cricketer last played in a T20I game in March 2021 against England and since then he is away from the cricketing field due to multiple injuries. His last ODI came against West Indies in February 2022.



Sundar?s comeback to the Indian side is crucial for him to be considered for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 squad. With such multiple injury concerns, it will be difficult for him to make a cut for the world cup.

Shoulder injury keeps Washington Sundar out of the Indian team touring Zimbabwe

India VS Zimbabwe tour will get underway in a few days. On Tuesday morning, the news was floated by the BCCI that Washington Sundar, the right-arm off-break bowler and left-handed batter from Tamil Nadu has injured his shoulder. Shahbaz Ahmed, the left-arm off-spinner from Bengal is set to replace him. Shahbaz has previously played for RCB in the Indian Premier League. The RCB lineup backs this youngster. But who is he? Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>Washington Sundar Injured Before India VS Zimbabwe:&nbsp;</h2>



Washington Sundar, a player who often has an injury concern, is going to miss out on another series due to a shoulder injury. Washington has been an asset to the Indian team, whenever he has been fit and available. But his absence has made way for many other bowlers. It was last year that Ravichandran Ashwin got a surprise call-up in the absence of Washi to play for the ICC T20 World Cup in UAE. This time around as well, it is Shahbaz Ahmed, who happens to be the lucky one. &nbsp;



<h2>Shahbaz Ahmed Gets Maiden India Call-up:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Shahbaz-Ahmed-min.jpg" alt="India VS Zimbabwe" class="wp-image-92973"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



This left-arm spinner from Bengal is a true asset to any team that he plays for. He is a Jadeja-like player. He can bat, he can bowl and he is a gun on the field. Coming in from Bengal, he has done decently well for the state team and in the IPL as well. The RCB management has been backing this youngster for the past two seasons. He has match-winning abilities. If effectively backed and he remains fit, he can win games for team India too. With the support and guidance of Virat Kohli, Ahmed has been growing. &nbsp;



<h2>Shahbaz Ahmed Domestic Stats:&nbsp;</h2>

India VS Zimbabwe 2022: Shahbaz Ahmed Set to replace the Injured Washington Sundar. ?

India VS Zimbabwe Series has become a dead rubber now. The 3rd ODI will take place tomorrow at 12:45 pm Indian Standard Time. This game will be more of&nbsp;an exhibition game and India will be keen to hand out a few national caps. So, what are the previews for both teams? How are the teams shaping up before the 3rd ODI? Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>Indian Team Preview Before India VS Zimbabwe 3rd ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



The Indian Team is on a very high note after winning games on the trot. The team will be relying on its bowlers to steam-roll the Zimbabwe batting. But it would be great to see KL Rahul get some more time in the middle with the bat and would be great to see him getting runs under his belt. Sanju Samson would be high on confidence too. Deepak Hooda was too good in the last game as well. Shubman Gill and his recent performances make him a top contender for the opening spot in ODIs. Prasidh Krishna has his sight clearly on the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. &nbsp;



<h2>Indian Squad:&nbsp;</h2>



Shikhar Dhawan (C), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar.&nbsp;



<h2>Indian Team Playing XI for India VS Zimbabwe 3rd ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, KL Rahul (C), Sanju Samson, Deepak Hooda, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.&nbsp;



<h2>Zimbabwe Squad:&nbsp;</h2>



Tadiwamashe Marumani, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Innocent Kaia, Wessely Madhevere, Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva (c &amp; wk), Tony Munyonga, Luke Jongwe, Brad Evans, Victor Nyauchi, Richard Ngarava.&nbsp;



<h2>Predicted Top Performer for India VS Zimbabwe 3rd ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/KL-Rahul-min-1.jpg" alt="India VS Zimbabwe " class="wp-image-93164"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: NDTV Sports</figcaption></figure>



KL Rahul:?The Indian captain is keen on getting a few runs on his belt. It is also possible that Shikhar Dhawan might be rested and Rahul Tripath might be given his well-deserved cap. KL Rahul will be opening the innings alongside Shubman Gill. KL was off the game for very long and didn?t have an ideal outing last time. But he will be keen on making a great comeback and striking form just before the Asia Cup 2022. ?



Venue and Timings: The venue for this game is the Harare Sports Club ground in Harare, Zimbabwe and the game will be streamed on the Sony TV Network from 12:45 pm.&nbsp;

IND vs ZIM: The newly crowned champions India faced a major backlash as the visitors faced a crushing defeat to the underdog hosts in the first T20I. Zimbabwe one-sidedly dominated the Indians as the young Indian batters shepherded by Shubman Gill never seemed to settle in front of the Zimbabwe bowling attack. IPL stars <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhishek_Sharma_(cricketer,_born_2000)">Abhishek Sharma</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riyan_Parag">Riyan Parag</a>, who seemed to be inevitable parts of India?s upcoming teams, failed miserably in their first outing at Harare. After veteran greats Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirement from T20 internationals, India will look to replace these greats in the shortest format of the game.

</figure>



 In the quest for a young team, the newly appointed Indian coach Gautam Gambhir's substitute for the series VVS Laxman, has been provided with a relatively fresh bunch of players who are just keeping their foot at the international level. Led by Shubman Gill, India has fixed Abhishek Sharma as his opening partner, with Gaikwad coming in at no. 3.

After the entire Indian set-up, those who were not a part of the World Cup-winning squad underperformed in the opening match of the T20I series. The arrival of the three players who were a part of India?s World Cup-winning squad will be highly considered for a revival of form. Wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson, opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal, and India?s finishing all-rounder Shivam Dube have been named for the Zimbabwe tour. Following India?s delay in the Caribbean, these three Indian star cricketers failed to join Team India?s camp for the first 2 T20Is.

However, as per reports from The Hindu, all three Samson, Jaiswal, and Dube have taken their flight to Harare and will be joining the India camp ahead of the 3rd T20 to be played against Zimbabwe on the 10th of July.

</figure>



 Jaiswal can be seen as the first-choice opener alongside skipper Gill. Even the IPL veteran wicketkeeper-batsman, Sanju Samson, may find a role in the team as he can replace the underperforming Dhruv Jurel. With the lack of hitting prowess in the Indian lineup, even Dube may find his spot in the starting XI as soon as he lands in Harare. With the better-off batters playing alongside them, even Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Abhishek Sharma will be hoping to find their groove with the willow. In the quest to defend their title in the T20 World Cup 2026, India is looking to build a squad that can be capable of the same.

IND vs ZIM: India has already won a comfortable series against Zimbabwe after the Men in Blue lagged in the first game of the series. Under new skipper Shubman Gill, India faced a major loss in the series opener, which startled the cricketing world. However, the Men in Blue came back strongly, with Abhishek Sharma scoring a splendid ton in just his second international appearance. A breathtaking ton in the second match of the series, and later a wicket in the series, took him into the record books. India sealed the series with a 3-1 lead over the hosts, where skipper Gill batted well for his 50 alongside young Jaiswal?s brilliant 93*, which provided India with a stunning 10-wicket victory.

Later, in their very next outing, in the last T20I of the series, Indian opener <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yashasvi_Jaiswal">Yashasvi Jaiswal</a> came into bat with his skipper. Jaiswal hit Zimbabwe skipper Raza for a huge six from his full toss, which he thumbed over deep mid-wicket.

With this, Jaiswal hit the record books, as he became the first player in cricket history to score 13 runs on a single legal delivery. Though Raza came back strongly as he struck in the same over, India soon seemed struggling, as Jaiswal was followed by the skipper and young Abhishek at the score of 14. India, however, didn?t stop to stumble and ended their innings at 167.

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c5c9db6f5.jpg" alt="">
Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

Prithvi Shaw Can Might Have Chance To Play IPL this Year ? | TATA IPL 2025

Prithvi Shaw After a successful start of his career getting set back and set back ,but the things is not over yet , Prithvi can be have to focus his fitness,the improved fitness can solve many things for him.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
