<p>While West Indies will enter the World Cup 2024 with another win, South Africa will start its WC campaign with a defeat. Africa has won only two matches in the last 11 T20Is, the team had to face series defeats against Australia and West Indies.</p>



<p>The third T20I match was played at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica, where African captain van der Dussen won the toss and decided to bat first. Batting first, the visiting team could score only 163 runs in 20 overs. Captain van der Dussen scored the most runs for Africa, scoring 51 runs in 31 balls with the help of five sixes.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/South-Africa.jpg" alt="West Indies vs South Africa: West Indies defeated South Africa 3?0 in the three-match series" class="wp-image-134622" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">West Indies vs South Africa | Pic: X(Proteas Men)</figcaption></figure>



<p>In bowling action for West Indies, left handed pacer Obed McCoy took three wickets for 39 runs in four overs, while Shamar Joseph and Gudakesh Motie took 2 wickets each.</p>



<p>West Indies chased the target of 163 runs at the loss of two wickets in just 13.5 overs. Captain Brandon King played an inning of 44 runs in 28 balls with the help of four sixes and two sixes, while his fellow opener Johnson Charles played an inning of 69 runs in just 26 balls with the help of nine fours and five sixes.</p>



<p>The West Indies team is looking in great form before the World Cup. For your information, let us tell you that big players like Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell are not even associated with the team. When all these players join the team in the T20 World Cup, the team will become even stronger. Rovman Powell will captain the West Indies team in the T20 World Cup, while the responsibility of vice-captain will be on the shoulders of Alzarri Joseph.</p>

<p>Brian Lara Stadium is generally pretty good for the bowlers. The outfield here is slow, and there is an uneven bounce, which makes it hard for the batters. Slow bowlers will have more effect at this venue. The first-inning average score here is 128. A total of 12 T20Is have been played at this venue, and 8 of them have been won by the chasing team. As a result, we might see the team that wins the toss will be bowling first.</p>

<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>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.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>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.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>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.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>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.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>

<p><span>The International Cricket Council (ICC) has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the jersey controversy ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This comes after the Indian governing body refused to write 'Pakistan' on their kits for the tournament.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is scheduled to begin on 19th February. The preparations for the tournament are on, and the ICC and the PCB are taking every step possible to make sure that everything is right on track.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>However, a controversy recently erupted after BCCI refused to write Pakistan on their jersey for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Notably, every participating nation, as per the ICC policy, has to write the name of the host nation below the logo of the tournament on their jersey.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>After BCCI refused to sport it, Pakistan Cricket Board officials made a strong statement, saying that BCCI is trying to use politics in every matter.

<p><span>India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space">Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</span></span></h2>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.</span></p>
<p><span>Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</span></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>1: Rohit Sharma (C)</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679065b3730c0.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="493"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Rohit Sharma - The Indian skipper at the top (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian captain and opener Rohit Sharma will be a part of the India-Pakistan combine playing XI. The right-handed batter has exceptional records and stats in ICC tournaments for the Indian Cricket Team.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Rohit Sharma has scored a total of 10,866 runs with an average of 49.16, including 31 centuries and 57 fifties in ODIs. Sharma has this ability to score quick runs and introduce the x-factor of the game for his side. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>2: Babar Azam</span></h3>
