New Zealand batting great Kane Williamson announced his retirement from Twenty20 internationals on Sunday (Nov 2), saying the team needed "clarity" ahead of next year's World Cup.

ICC Women's ODI World Cup final: Harmanpreet Kaur sets sight on glory, says 'Sunday will be a special day'

Much has been wrangled over the performance of the Indian Women’s cricket team’s middle order batting, which has been a debacle of sorts in the past month of the ongoing ICC Women’s ODI World Cup.

Much has been wrangled over the performance of the Indian Women’s cricket team’s middle order batting, which has been a debacle of sorts in the past month of the ongoing ICC Women’s ODI World Cup. Following staunch starts from the top three, the middle order couldn’t seem to carry on the good work and fell like a pack of cards on multiple occasions. A major point of contention was the form of Jemimah Rodrigues, who has been on a roller coaster ride. Juggling and oscillating around different positions, Jemimah was sort of lost in the muddle with no clarity in her role. Following this was some lacklustre performance that saw her getting dropped from the playing eleven. However, after getting pushed up to number three, Rodrigues has turned the tide with a rollicking display of fortitude. Her knock of 75 in the do-or-die game against New Zealand, which went under the radar owing to the big hundreds that came off the bats of Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal, ensured that India reached safer shores. Her swashbuckling innings also gave the bowlers a buffer that saw India seal a semi-final spot. But if the innings against New Zealand was quick and flashy, her match-winning knock against the seven-time and incumbent world champions, Australia showed her grit and her ability to stand up and grind away each and every run on the day it mattered the most. Surely the 25-year-old did have a couple of lives courtesy of some drop catches by the Aussies. But as the old adage goes, fortune favours the brave, and it indeed did to a batter that has defied the odds when the chips were down and things were looking dicey after the fall of the first two wickets in quick intervals. A big highlight of Rodrigues’s innings was her calm presence and her nonchalant stroke-making making which deserves all the plaudits. Albeit the miscued shots from the 25-year-old did give a lot of heart-in-the-mouth moments, Jemimah backed her ability to the fullest and played the innings of a lifetime in one of the historic run chases that have come at the knock-out stage of a World Cup. Whether it was her ability to pierce and slice the gap between point and cover with her cuts and late cuts against pacers, or her adroitness to come down the wicket against spinners, Jemimah excelled in both.

Despite reaching a 50 and then later converting the same into a hundred, Jemimah did not raise her bat, putting all personal milestones on the back burner with her eyes sternly locked on the bigger picture of getting India into the World Cup Final. Adding to this, the Aussies put their bodies on the line by diving and skidding across the moisture-heavy grass that was glistening with dew droplets, making the chase even more arduous for the 25-year-old.

She has created history by doing something that even the great Tendulkars, Kohlis, Rohits and the Dhonis of the world are yet to do. That is to chase a 300-plus total in an ODI World Cup semi-final/final against a dominating Australia. Now that the semi-final is done and dusted, the only thing that separates the Women in Blue and the World Cup is a potent South African team that is looking to make history by clinching their maiden World Cup. The Proteas are looking lethal, but the Indian Women are looking more dangerous than ever. Disclaimer: The views of the writer do not represent the views of WION or ZMCL.

Jemimah Rodrigues's record shattering innings sets new benchmark for Indian cricket ahead of World Cup final

After a big defeat at the MCG, Team India will aim to make a strong comeback in the third T20I against Australia at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Sunday (Nov 2).

Josh Hazlewood set up Australia’s win with an excellent spell of 3/13 in the second T20I on Friday.

IND-W vs SA-W, WWC 25 Final: Top 5 Indian players to watch out for

Former Ashes winner Michael Vaughan backs current England captain Ben Stokes to regain the coveted urn in the away Test series against Australia, starting November 21 in Perth. Most of the Ashes-bound players are currently in New Zealand playing in the ongoing ODI series, while the remaining ones are training alongside it. The Test squad will assemble in Western Australia on Monday, where England Lions will join them to prepare for the three-day game starting November 13, eight days before the series opener.&nbsp;Considering England’s last Test win Down Under came 14 years ago during the memorable 2010/11 away Ashes and that they have lost 14 Tests since (in Australia), Vaughan feels Stokes, with his mentality, will break this deadlock and upset the mighty Aussies in their den.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/pak-vs-sa-2nd-t20i-pakistan-babar-azam-dethrones-rohit-sharma-for-most-t20i-runs-1761972968021">PAK vs SA 2nd T20I: Pakistan's Babar Azam dethrones Rohit Sharma for most T20I runs</a> &nbsp;Predicting the series result (2-2), Vaughan says England are bound to do better on this tour, and that Ben is the right man to help them realise their dream of bagging another Ashes win in Australia. &nbsp;"I think they need a trophy," Vaughan said while speaking at the Viagogo event. "I mean, would I take two-all now? Probably, let's be honest. In the last few series, 2010-11 is the only time that I've seen England have success. We won one Test match in 2002-03; we won three Test matches in 2010-11. We haven't won a Test since. So, actually looking at growth in terms of what English cricket is delivering and, if you could get a two-all series, you'd obviously take that.” &nbsp;"But I think Ben and his mentality, and the way that he plays his cricket, this is his moment. He has to deliver, and he has to get that urn in his hand. And it's not putting him under pressure. They'll be speaking in this kind of language in the dressing room. They will expect to win this series, and now's the time to deliver,” he continued. &nbsp;Here is England’s Ashes squad – &nbsp;Ben Stokes (captain), Harry Brook (vice-captain), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue and Mark Wood

‘He has to deliver,’ Vaughan pushes England captain Ben Stokes for Ashes urn Down Under

Former Pakistan captain and star batter Babar Azam has dethroned his counterpart and batting giant Rohit Sharma from India for the most T20I runs. Against South Africa in the just-concluded second T20I in Lahore on Friday (Oct 31), Babar remained unbeaten on 11 to help his team level the three-match T20Is and also surpass Rohit on the all-time list. Back into the T20I side for the first time in a year, Babar needed just nine runs to get past Rohit’s overall runs tally, and he did that in the most Babar style, with a gentle single off Donovan Ferreira to long off.&nbsp;This record, however, comes as a boost for the batting star, who lately missed plenty of international action, including the 2025 Asia Cup and the home Proteas Tests. His form was the biggest worry for the Pakistan selectors, who dropped him across formats earlier. Returning to the team after a long time, Babar got out on a second-ball duck in the first game in Rawalpindi, missing out on surpassing Rohit in that game only.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/matter-to-be-taken-to-icc-bcci-issues-strong-warning-to-mohsin-naqvi-amid-asia-cup-trophy-row-1761932024145">‘Matter to be taken to ICC’: BCCI issues strong warning to Mohsin Naqvi amid Asia Cup trophy row</a><h3>Most T20I Runs – &nbsp;</h3><ul><li>Babar Azam (PAK) – 4234*</li><li>Rohit Sharma (IND) – 4231</li><li>Virat Kohli (IND) – 4188</li><li>Jos Buttler (ENG) – 3869*</li><li>Paul Stirling (IRE) – 3710*</li></ul><h3>What happened in Lahore T20I?</h3>After losing the series opener, Pakistan buckled up for the second game, putting up an improved performance to level the series.

India’s vice-captain Shubman Gill had a tough day in the second T20I against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday (Oct 31). Opening the innings with Abhishek Sharma, Gill struggled to score runs and eventually got out for just five runs off ten balls. He was caught at mid-off while trying to hit Josh Hazlewood.
