Before the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, Mumbai Indians traded Kiwi speedster Trent Boult from Delhi Capitals and the move has reaped rich rewards for the four-time IPL winners with the left-arm pacer being lethal with the ball throughout IPL 2020.&nbsp;

Boult will be up against his former side in the final of IPL 2020 on Tuesday with MI targeting their fifth IPL trophy. Ahead of the much-awaited summit clash between MI and DC, Rohit Sharma said Mumbai Indians were ‘lucky’ to have signed the best new-ball bowler.

Rohit said that Mumbai Indians wanted someone who would scalp those wickets in the powerplay and Boult has delivered it tremendously during the course of IPL 2020.

"We always wanted somebody who could get those wickets for us early in the powerplay with the new ball. We looked across the world and, obviously, it is a no-brainer that he is the best bowler with the new ball when it comes to swinging the new ball back into the batsmen, and to a left-hander taking the ball away. He is the best in the business,” Rohit said.

"We always wanted him and luckily we got him traded from Delhi and he has not disappointed us. He has bowled well with the new ball and also in the middle and the back-end. He is a great asset to have in the squad and hope he can do it one more time for us," said Sharma.

Boult, who was exceptional against Dc in Qualifier 1, had suffered a groin injury but Rohit has confirmed that the Kiwi star is set to feature in the summit clash against DC.&nbsp;

IPL 2020: 'We always wanted him' - Rohit Sharma 'lucky' to have Trent Boult in Mumbai Indians

Australian great Steve Waugh on Tuesday said he was disappointed that Virat Kohli will miss three Tests against Australia to be at the birth of his first child after being granted paternity leave by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). While Waugh was disappointed by Kohli missing three of the four Tests against Australia, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan said people need to respect Kohli’s decision and appreciate that there is life beyond cricket.

The Indian skipper and his Bollywood superstar wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their first child in January with Kohli returning back to Indian from Australia after the first Test in Adelaide, which commences on December 17.

Kohli’s absence has come as a huge blow to broadcasters and cricket authorities are already feeling the effects in a pandemic affected year.&nbsp;

"I'm a little bit disappointed he's not going to be there -- and a bit surprised," former skipper Waugh, who played 168 Tests, told AFP.

"This was really shaping up as one the key series of his whole career after he's achieved just about everything. But obviously family comes first."

"It's a bit like a couple of years ago when India won without (David) Warner or (Steve) Smith in the side," he said.

"You really want to win against the best possible opposition, particularly when this is like the heavyweight title fight."

Whereas Irfan Pathan is of the view that people should understand that family is important and there is life beyond cricket. However, he admitted that Kohli not being there with the team will have a huge impact on Team India. Irfan further backed Rohit Sharma to lead the side in the Test series, in the absence of Kohli, as he said that Rohit is a proven leader.&nbsp;

“Virat Kohli not being there will have a huge impact on the team but you have to respect his decision. We have to accept and appreciate life beyond cricket, family is very important.

“On the field, it is bound to make a massive difference and it is very tough for anyone to fill his shoes. The way he has performed over the years and in all conditions.

“Nothing against Rahane but Rohit has to captain. He is a proven leader and has the required experience. His role as an opener will be equally crucial. He is the guy you want to play in Australia. I remember ODI series in 2008 and he was new but did quite well on Australian pitches. He will be raring to go after the injury,” Irfan Pathan told PTI.

India are due leave this week for Australia, where they will spend two weeks in quarantine in Sydney before the first one-day international on November 27.

While all eyes will be on who will win IPL 2020, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma is on the cusp on touching three iconic landmarks in IPL. While Rohit has his eyes on his sixth IPL title after winning it four times with Mumbai Indians and once with Deccan Chargers, few personal milestones also await the Hitman.&nbsp;

With the final of IPL 2020, Rohit will mark his 200th match in the Indian Premier League and will become the second player after MS Dhoni to bag the milestone. Rohit has so far played 199 matches in IPL – for Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians).

IPL 2020 Final: Rohit Sharma on verge of touching 3 iconic milestones

Mumbai Indians will be taking on Delhi Capitals in the final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at the Dubai International Stadium on November 10 (Tuesday). While fans and experts have started to give their predictions ahead of the much-awaited match, former England spinner Monty Panesar, in an exclusive chat with WION, has backed Mumbai Indians to lift the coveted IPL trophy while expecting the Rohit Sharma-led side to continue the tradition of winning trophies.&nbsp;

Panesar further picked Kagiso Rabada to win the Purple Cap race as the South African speedster goes head-to-head with Jasprit Bumrah to become the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. Ahead of the match, Rabada has 29 scalps to his name in IPL 2020 whereas Bumrah is on 27 wickets.&nbsp;

The England left-arm spinner went on to pick the likes of Devdutt Padikkal, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Mavi as the finds of the tournament when it comes to the 13th edition of IPL.&nbsp;

Despite being prolific with the bat, Suryakumar hasn’t received a single Team India call-up yet. However, Panesar feels he would have played for England by now.&nbsp;

Ahead of the final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals on Tuesday, Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting has backed the Delhi outfit to come out all guns blazing against the four-time IPL winners.

Ponting has said that Delhi Capitals have enough firepower to defeat Mumbai Indians while adding it will depend on how the team turns up and how they execute their plans.&nbsp;

They have been beaten three times by Mumbai in this edition alone, but Ponting was in bullish mood ahead of the Twenty20 showdown.

"We've got enough firepower (to beat Mumbai)," the Australian great said on Monday.

"If they will be sitting back and thinking if there's a team they wouldn't want to play, it'll be us. But it's about us – it's about how we turn up, how we play, as simple as that."

The former Australian skipper emphasized that if Delhi Capitals rectify their mistakes in the previous defeats to Mumbai Indians then there is "no doubt that we'll win".

Delhi Capitals had an exemplary first half of IPL 2020 but fizzled off as the playoffs approached. After losing the Qualifier 1 to Mumbai Indians, they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 to seal their first-ever final in IPL history.&nbsp;

"The other thing about Mumbai is that they've played some pretty fearless cricket, some high-risk cricket certainly in the way they've batted," said Ponting.

"We know they rely on Trent Boult with the new bowl to take wickets for them – so if we can get that part right, and if they just have a few things go against them, and we execute and put them under pressure, then I'm sure the result can change."

Delhi Capitals on Sunday defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 17 runs in the Qualifier 2 of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League</a>, played in Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. With the win, DC seal their place in the final of IPL 2020 where they will face defending champions Mumbai Indians on November 10 in Dubai. Delhi Capitals successfully defended 188-run total on the scoreboard and were almost at the top of Sunrisers Hyderabad during the course of the match.

After opting to bat first, Delhi Capitals were off to a fine start courtesy Shikhar Dhawan and his new opening partner Marcus Stoinis as the duo stitched an 86-run opening stand. While Stoinis perished for 38, Dhawan continued the run-flow and scored a crisp 78 off 50 deliveries. DC skipper Shreyas Iyer continued his cold form of run as he scored a 20-ball 21. However, it was due to Shimron Hetmyer’s late flourish that Delhi Capitals went on to post 189/3 in 20 overs. The West Indian southpaw hammered a blistering 22-ball 42 not-out.

While it was not the perfect outing for SRH bowlers, T Natarajan impressed with the ball and his yorkers as he conceded 32 off his four overs. Rashid Khan, as usual, was terrific with the ball, conceding 26 off his four-over quota.

Chasing 189, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost David Warner for 2 as Kagiso Rabada cleaned him up with a peach of a delivery. Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg hung around for a bit and played some great strokes but the duo was dismissed for 21 and 17 respectively.

Even Jason Holder was dismissed for 11 by a clever Axar Patel. However, an in-form Kane Williamson showed his class and went on to smash a terrific half-century to take the game deep.&nbsp;

Young Abdul Samad partnered Kane Williamson perfectly to help SRH remain in the game while scoring some attractive strokes but failed to take them over the line. Kagiso Rabada was too hot too handle for SRH’s lower-middle order as DC sealed a good win to set-up the final with MI.

With the win, DC seal their place in the final of IPL 2020 where they will face defending champions Mumbai Indians on November 10 in Dubai. Delhi Capitals successfully defended 188-run total on the scoreboard and were almost at the top of Sunrisers Hyderabad during the course of the match. After opting to bat first, Delhi Capitals were off to a fine start courtesy Shikhar Dhawan and his new opening partner Marcus Stoinis as the duo stitched an 86-run opening stand. While Stoinis perished for 38, Dhawan continued the run-flow and scored a crisp 78 off 50 deliveries. DC skipper Shreyas Iyer continued his cold form of run as he scored a 20-ball 21. However, it was due to Shimron Hetmyer’s late flourish that Delhi Capitals went on to post 189/3 in 20 overs. The West Indian southpaw hammered a blistering 22-ball 42 not-out.

Rashid Khan, as usual, was terrific with the ball, conceding 26 off his four-over quota. Chasing 189, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost David Warner for 2 as Kagiso Rabada cleaned him up with a peach of a delivery. Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg hung around for a bit and played some great strokes but the duo was dismissed for 21 and 17 respectively. Even Jason Holder was dismissed for 11 by a clever Axar Patel. However, an in-form Kane Williamson showed his class and went on to smash a terrific half-century to take the game deep. Young Abdul Samad partnered Kane Williamson perfectly to help SRH remain in the game while scoring some attractive strokes but failed to take them over the line. Kagiso Rabada was too hot too handle for SRH’s lower-middle order as DC sealed a good win to set-up the final with MI.

After the completion of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, Indian cricket team will embark on a new journey to Australia with a full-fledged series awaiting Virat Kohli and Co Down Under.

AUS vs IND: Team India to start training in Sydney from November 10

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is all set to come to a conclusion on November 10, with the final scheduled to be played in Dubai. While there were many high-octane matches, it took all 56 league matches to determine the final four teams of the IPL 2020 for the playoffs. With league stage successfully done and dusted, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar picked his best IPL 2020 XI.

However, there were some big-names missing from Manjrekar’s IPL 2020 XI.&nbsp;

IPL 2020 is being held completely outside India, in the UAE, amid the COVID-19 pandemic with the entire tournament being staged behind closed doors.&nbsp;

There have been many great performances in IPL 2020 be it the cracking form of young Devdutt Padikkal or Suryakumar Yadav’s scintillating form with the bat. The bowlers, too, have impressed in the lucrative tournament as they made the most out of the longer boundaries in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Reviewing the entire IPL 2020, Manjrekar kept the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out of his IPL 2020 XI, largely due to the fact that the Indian duo has blown hot and cold throughout the IPL 2020.&nbsp;

<h2>Suryakumar Yadav over Virat Kohli</h2>

In a conversation with ESPNcricinfo, Manjrekar went with KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal as his opening pair while opting Suryakumar Yadav over Kohli for the number three spot.&nbsp;

“My No. 3 is Suryakumar Yadav, which is great for someone like him to have made it to this IPL XI. He bats at No. 3 and I don’t think any No. 3 has batted as well and as consistently as he’s done. It’s not just about runs and consistency but also about the quality of shots as well that he’s played,” Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo backing Suryakumar's inclusion.

Continuing his IPL 2020 XI, Manjrekar picked AB de Villiers, Nicholas Pooran, Axar Patel with Rashid Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal being his automatic pics for the XI.

Continuing the limited-overs series, Pakistan are set to take on Zimbabwe in the second T20I of the three-match series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Pakistan have a 1-0 lead in the T20I series after winning the ODI series 2-1.&nbsp;

Zimbabwe’s tour of Pakistan has produced a couple of nail-biting matches including a Super Over and the second T20I between Pakistan and Zimbabwe promises another thrilling contest in Rawalpindi.&nbsp;

While Zimbabwe have put up competitive performances against Pakistan, the Men in Green have been mostly dominating with the likes of Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi shining with the bat and ball respectively. Young Mohammad Hasnain also produced some magic with the ball as he had picked up a five-fer in the ODI series.&nbsp;

All eyes will be on Zimbabwe as neutrals would be hoping for a close contest after a one-sided affair in the first T20I.

Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi in what was the Eliminator of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a>. After a terrific bowling performance by the SRH bowlers, Kane Williamson masterclass with the willow helped SRH seal a place in the Qualifier 2 of IPL 2020 where they will face Delhi Capitals on Sunday.

Batting first, Royal Challengers Bangalore opted to go with Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal as openers in the crucial match. However, the move backfired as Kohli was sent packing by Jason Holder for just one run whereas Padikkal, who has been terrific for RCB throughout the season, was dismissed for six.

Aaron Finch and AB de Villiers stuck around for a bit but it was Finch who lost his wicket first and walked back to the hut for 32 off 30. Moeen Ali ran himself out on a free-hit, a rare instance in the world of cricket, for a golden duck.

Shivam Dube (8), Washington Sundar (5) also failed to live up to the expectations with the bat in the big game. However, a handy 10-run knock by Mohammed Siraj and nine runs by Navdeep Saini helped Royal Challengers Bangalore to post 131/7 in 20 overs.

Chasing 132, Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a horror start as opener Shreevats Goswami was dismissed for a duck. But it was David Warner and Manish Pandey, who stabilized the chase for SRH. Warner was given marching orders by the third umpire in what was a controversial call for caught-behind. Pandey also edged one to AB de Villiers to depart for 24.&nbsp;

Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi in what was the Eliminator of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. After a terrific bowling performance by the SRH bowlers, Kane Williamson masterclass with the willow helped SRH seal a place in the Qualifier 2 of IPL 2020 where they will face Delhi Capitals on Sunday. Batting first, Royal Challengers Bangalore opted to go with Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal as openers in the crucial match. However, the move backfired as Kohli was sent packing by Jason Holder for just one run whereas Padikkal, who has been terrific for RCB throughout the season, was dismissed for six.

Moeen Ali ran himself out on a free-hit, a rare instance in the world of cricket, for a golden duck. Shivam Dube (8), Washington Sundar (5) also failed to live up to the expectations with the bat in the big game. However, a handy 10-run knock by Mohammed Siraj and nine runs by Navdeep Saini helped Royal Challengers Bangalore to post 131/7 in 20 overs. Chasing 132, Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a horror start as opener Shreevats Goswami was dismissed for a duck. But it was David Warner and Manish Pandey, who stabilized the chase for SRH. Warner was given marching orders by the third umpire in what was a controversial call for caught-behind. Pandey also edged one to AB de Villiers to depart for 24.

Express pacer Dale Steyn was among the big-names missing from the 24-man South African squad announced on Friday for the limited-overs series against England, starting on November 27.

Steyn, who retired from Test cricket in August 2019, said he remained available for limited-overs international but was not named in the Proteas squad. Even the likes of Imran Tahir and Jannemann Malan were also missing.&nbsp;

The 24-man squad include most of South Africa’s current limited-overs international players with fast bowler Glenton Stuurman getting his maiden call-up.

All the matches in South Africa vs England series will be played in the Western Cape in Cape Town and Paarl and both the squads will be based in one hotel and will be confined to it due to COVID-19 protocols. Matches will be played behind closed doors.&nbsp;

"With the bio-secure environment, where movement in and out of the squad will be limited, we had to make sure that we have all our bases covered with the 24 players," said Mpitsang.&nbsp;

"It also gives the team the opportunity to play some inter-squad games just to make sure that they sharpen up those white-ball skills before the series start."

CSA director of cricket, Graeme Smith said that much work was put behind the scenes to ensure the safe return of international cricket.&nbsp; 
"It's been a long winter and it's really pleasing that we finally have an imminent international tour on our shores to look forward to," said Smith.

Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has urged his team to not sledge or get into a war of words with Virat Kohli during upcoming India’s tour of Australia while stating that it might end up giving “extra motivation” not just to the Indian skipper but also to his teammates.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is set to kick-start on December 17 at the Adelaide Oval followed by Tests at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Sydney Cricket Ground and the Gabba. India’s tour of Australia will commence with three-match ODI series on November 27 followed by as many T20Is before the Test series.&nbsp;

<h2>Sledging is not going to worry Virat Kohli: Steve Waugh</h2>

"Sledging is not going to worry Virat Kohli, it doesn't work against the great players and you're better off leaving those guys alone," Waugh said in a video posted by 'ESPNcricinfo'.

"I think any extra motivation will make them dig in more and get more runs. So you're better off not saying much to him."

However, Australia were without the likes of Steve Smith and David Warner, who were serving a ban for their involvement in a ball-tampering row.&nbsp;

"He (Kohli) is a world-class player, he would wanna be the batsman of the series. Last time, he and Smith came up against each other in India, Smith really dominated with three hundreds and Kohli didn't get many. "That would be at the back of his mind that last time he was outscored by Steve Smith," Waugh said. "So, he will want to score a lot of runs and if he does, India will have a great chance of winning."

Mumbai Indians bowling coach and former New Zealand pacer Shane Bond lavished praise on Jasprit Bumrah following a splendid performance in the Qualifier 1 of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> against Delhi Capitals as the Kiwi termed Bumrah as the “best T20 fast bowler in the world”.

Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 57 runs to storm into the final of IPL 2020 and it was Bumrah who was behind MI’s stunning bowling performance. Bumrah conceded just 14 runs while picking up four wickets in his four-over quota, as the current Purple Cap holder continued his tremendous run with the ball.&nbsp;

<h2>Jasprit, it's a privilege to watch: Shane Bond</h2>

"Jasprit, it's a privilege to watch. The best T20 fast bowler in the world go about his work," Bond said in a video posted by Mumbai Indians on Twitter.

Bond also praised Trent Boult saying that "I've loved working with Trent since 2012. We've seen him at his very best and I was very excited to have him in our team. Because I know what a devastating bowler he can be and he has done that through this tournament for us."

Before the heroics with the ball, MI batters put on a show as they posted 200 runs on the board courtesy terrific knocks by Suryakumar Yadav, Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya.

Delhi Capitals never got the chase going as Boult and Bumrah did the damage upfront to restrict them to 0/3 in the second over. After that, it was just DC saving their blushes.

Bond is also impressed with his team's batting performance and said: "We are an intimidating batting line-up. You sit in the shed and it is just relentless. At 100/4, you felt that turn in the momentum. Delhi fought really hard through the middle of the innings and got themselves well back into the game. If they'd had a little bit more luck or perhaps been a little bit more accurate, we would have been under pressure at the back end."

Reflecting on his performance, Suryakumar Yadav said: "They have given me unbelievable freedom to express myself whenever I go to bat. And whatever the situation is, whether it is 10/1 or 50 or no loss. So, I just went out, expressed myself, and just played the way I play."

Plenty of questions were raised when the Indian selection committee didn’t name Rohit Sharma for the upcoming Australia tour citing injury concerns. However, despite BCCI president Sourav Ganguly stating that Rohit had a hamstring tear and could further aggravate the injury, the Indian opener has played last two matches for Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) after missing four previous matches.&nbsp;

Even when asked a couple of times about his hamstring injury, Rohit has cleared that he is fully fit and the hamstring is absolutely fine. Opening up on the matter, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has said that Rohit Sharma could have been picked for the Australian tour and keeping the fitness concerns in mind, a replacement could have been sent along with the squad so that a player is available if the situation got worse Down Under.&nbsp;

“If a statement has gone from MI physio that we are not sure how long would it take for Rohit Sharma to get fit, and the team has been created keeping this statement in mind, then even I have nothing to say. You get an idea if you are a top player,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.

The former Indian opener recalled an incident where he was involved before the ICC World Cup 2011 as he said everyone from the selectors, physios and coaches might be knowing the extent of Rohit’s hamstring problems.&nbsp;

“Let me give an example from my career. Before the 2011 World Cup, I was having problems with my shoulder. When I got scanned, so there was a tear in my bicep tendon, and I needed to get a surgery done,” he stated.

“So, similarly, everyone might be knowing about Rohit Sharma’s problems – the selectors, the physio, coaches. Still, he could have been selected for the Australia tour.

South African Sune Luus conjured up an unbeaten 37 under pressure as Velocity overcame a jittery start to stun defending champions Supernovas by five wickets in the opening match of the Women's T20 Challenge here on Wednesday.

Chasing a modest 127, Velocity were 38 for three inside nine overs but Luus took them over the line with her calm-headed 37-run knock that came off 21 balls with four fours and a six.

Luus also shared a crucial 51-run stand with Sushma Verma (34) to repair the innings after the early setbacks.

The Velocity bowlers, led by left-arm spinner Ekta Bisht (3/22) had restricted Supernovas to 126/8 after electing to bowl.

South African medium pacer Ayabonga Khaka (2/27) gave Supernovas the perfect start dismissing both the openers, Dani Wyatt (0) and supremely-talented Shafali Verma (17).

Shafali had lit up the modest chase smashing a hat-trick of boundaries against Khaka.

But Khaka bounced back to dismiss the talented Indian batter after she flicked one straight to deep midwicket.

Skipper Mithali Raj then fell victim to Siriwardene after a sluggish seven from 19 balls as it was left for Veda Krishnamurthy (29) and Sushma to keep them in hunt.

The seasoned Sushma turned it around for Velocity in the 16th over hammering Poonam Yadav for two sixes with some clean-hitting display to bring the run rate down.

She however failed to take them over the line falling to Poonam Yadav in the penultimate over.

Needing nine runs from the last over, Luus sealed the chase in the penultimate ball with two boundaries.

Velocity will take on Trailblazers on Thursday.

Earlier, apart from Ekta Bisht's effort, New Zealand off-spinner Leigh Kasperek (2/23) and medium pacer Jahanara Alam (2/27 also contributed in stifling the holders.

Jahanara dismissed key batters -- Harmanpreet Kaur (31) and Chamara Atapattu (44) -- to derail Supernova.

Sri Lankan T20 skipper Atapattu and her Indian counterpart Harmanpreet had seized control in the back end but their 47-run partnership was broken by Jahanara with Veda Krishnamurthy taking calm-headed skier in the long on.

Jahanara later dismissed Harmanpreet for 31 after the Indian skipper holed out at short fine leg. It triggered a collapse as the defending champions lost four wickets for 15 runs.

Chamari slammed two sixes and two boundaries in a 39-ball 44, while Harmanpreet hit two sixes and one boundary. 
Velocity made some early inroads with their spinner duo of Leigh Kasperek and Ekta Bisht dismissing Priya Punia (11) and Jemimah Rodrigues (7) inside eight overs.

But Supernova took control in the back end with Chamari breaking free against Manali Dakshini.

The Sri Lankan T20 skipper hit Manali inside out over cover and in the next over pulled Kasperek over deep mid-wicket for her second six to lift the run-rate.

But Chamari fell six runs short of a half-century as Supernovas failed to shift gear afterwards.

The Indian Premier League playoffs begin Thursday in the UAE with last year's champions Mumbai as favourites and Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore among the teams looking to cause an upset.

Surprise package the Delhi Capitals, who like Bangalore are aiming for a first title, will take on the Mumbai Indians in the first qualifier on Thursday with a place in the November 10 final at stake.

The losers of that match will get another crack at qualifying on Sunday against either Kohli's Bangalore or Sunrisers Hyderabad, who clash on Friday in an eliminator.

AFP Sport looks at the strengths and weaknesses of the four teams still standing in the world's richest Twenty20 league:

<h2>- Mumbai Indians -</h2>

Rohit Sharma's four-time champions underlined their status as tournament favourites by being the first team to qualify for the playoffs as they topped the standings with nine wins in 14 games.&nbsp;

South African wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock has led the batting with 443 runs while getting key support from Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard.

Pace bowlers Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah battered the opposition with a combined 43 wickets.&nbsp;

The 2019 champions had already qualified top of the table before they were hammered by Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday and, despite fitness doubts over Sharma, are targeting back-to-back titles for the first time.

<h2>- Delhi Capitals -</h2>

The Ricky Ponting-coached Capitals made a sensational start, winning five of their first six games, before losing four in a row but then beating Bangalore to reach the playoffs.

India opener Shikhar Dhawan is the key batsman and this year became the first player to score two consecutive IPL centuries. But Rishabh Pant, India's new batting hope, has been misfiring.

The South African pace duo of Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada have been impressive with Nortje bowling the fastest ever IPL delivery, a 97 miles per hour (156 kph) thunderbolt, and Rabada leading the IPL wicket-takers with 25 victims.&nbsp;

<h2>- Sunrisers Hyderabad -</h2>

Skipper David Warner came into his own with an unbeaten 85 off 58 balls to take Hyderabad into the playoffs on Tuesday.

The 2016 IPL winners benefited from the return of wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha, who hit two half-centuries in three successive wins to help them to third in the standings.

With West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder contributing and the deadly spin of Rashid Khan, who has taken 19 wickets, Warner will be hoping for the same result in this week's eliminator as in the 2016 final when Hyderabad beat Bangalore to lift the trophy.

<h2>- Royal Challengers Bangalore -</h2>

India captain Virat Kohli has never won an IPL title and it hurts. RCB finished bottom of the eight-team table last year, and after seven wins and seven defeats they scraped into the playoffs on run rate after losing their final match to Hyderabad.

Kohli leads a strong batting line-up, combining with young opener Devdutt Padikkal for 932 runs while South African veteran AB de Villiers has been the go-to man in crunch situations with an overall strike rate of 163.

Spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar will be key with their ability to choke an opposition team's run-flow while claiming wickets. Kohli insists his team are worth their place, but said he needs them to be "more brave" when chasing runs.

The Indian Premier League playoffs begin Thursday in the UAE with last year's champions Mumbai as favourites and Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore among the teams looking to cause an upset.

The Indian Premier League playoffs begin Thursday in the UAE with last year's champions Mumbai as favourites and Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore among the teams looking to cause an upset. Surprise package the Delhi Capitals, who like Bangalore are aiming for a first title, will take on the Mumbai Indians in the first qualifier on Thursday with a place in the November 10 final at stake. The losers of that match will get another crack at qualifying on Sunday against either Kohli's Bangalore or Sunrisers Hyderabad, who clash on Friday in an eliminator. AFP Sport looks at the strengths and weaknesses of the four teams still standing in the world's richest Twenty20 league: - Mumbai Indians - Rohit Sharma's four-time champions underlined their status as tournament favourites by being the first team to qualify for the playoffs as they topped the standings with nine wins in 14 games. South African wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock has led the batting with 443 runs while getting key support from Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard. Pace bowlers Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah battered the opposition with a combined 43 wickets. The 2019 champions had already qualified top of the table before they were hammered by Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday and, despite fitness doubts over Sharma, are targeting back-to-back titles for the first time. - Delhi Capitals - The Ricky Ponting-coached Capitals made a sensational start, winning five of their first six games, before losing four in a row but then beating Bangalore to reach the playoffs.

IPL final four: Mumbai again, or can Kohli cause an upset?

Mumbai Indians on Thursday defeated Delhi Capitals by 57 runs at the Dubai International Stadium to storm into the final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. Delhi Capitals were simply outplayed by the class of Mumbai Indians as they fell short by 57 runs and will now have to play the Qualifier 2 against the winner of Sunrisers Hyderabad versus Royal Challengers Bangalore in a bid to secure a berth in the final of IPL 2020.&nbsp;

<h2>Power-paced Mumbai Indians batting&nbsp;unit lights up Dubai</h2>

Mumbai Indians’ batting scorecard might not look the best with captain Rohit Sharma scoring a golden duck and Kieron Pollard a two-ball duck. Breathtaking contributions with the willow by Quinton de Kock (40 off 25), Suryakumar Yadav (51 off 38), Ishan Kishan (55* off 30) and Hardik Pandya (37* off 14) made sure Mumbai Indians the four-time IPL winners had a mammoth total on the board.

The fact that MI batters never slowed down their run-scoring tempo despite losing two big wickets in Rohit and Pollard for cheap, shows the quality and temperament of the defending champions.&nbsp;

Mumbai Indians were asked to bat first by Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer with Ravichandran Ashwin taking the Delhi outfit off to a flyer as he dismissed Rohit for a golden duck. However, SKY continued his sensational run with the bat and stitched an important partnership with in-form Quinton de Kock.

<h2>Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya show</h2>

Ishan Kishan chipped in after de Kock’s departure but his best shots came later in the innings as he went hammer and tonks. Hardik Pandya showed his power-hitting prowess as he whacked five sixes in his 37-run knock of 14 deliveries where he scored his runs at a staggering strike-rate of 264.29.

<h2>Three ducks for Delhi Capitals</h2>

Chasing a massive 201, Delhi Capitals were down on their knees when Trent Boult bowled a double-wicket maiden in the very first over while dismissing Prithvi Shaw (0) and Ajinkya Rahane (0). Jasprit Bumrah, from the other end, spiced up things even more with an inch-perfect yorker to get the better of Shikhar Dhawan (0).

Skipper Shreyas Iyer departed soon, off 12, by Bumrah. While Marcus Stoinis played a gritty knock to save some blushes with a half-century (65 off 36), Rishabh Pant continued his poor run and was dismissed for 3. Axar Patel tried to chip in with some runs laced by lusty blows but it was too little too late for Delhi Capitals following a horrendous start to the chase as they ended up with 143-8 on the board. To complete Mumbai Indians' domination, the Bumrah and Boult bowled a double-wicket maiden each - shows what quality this side has.

IPL 2020 Qualifier 1, MI vs DC Preview: Mumbai, Delhi set eyes on final

Sunrisers Hyderabad clinched the final playoff spot in the Indian Premier League after securing an emphatic 10-wicket victory over defending champions Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.

Captain David Warner finished unbeaten on 85 and Wriddhiman Saha 58 not out as they chased down Mumbai’s target of 150 with 17 balls to spare in Sharjah.

Needing a win to stay the competition, Hyderabad moved up to third on net run rate and will face fourth-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore in Friday’s eliminator in Abu Dhabi.

“There is great resilience in the side,” said Australian opener Warner, who led Sunrisers to the IPL title in 2016.

“We looked back to 2016 when we had to win every game to win the title. When you have your backs against the wall, you have nothing to lose.”

Hyderabad’s win also eliminated two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders, who finished fifth in the league on net run rate.

Table-toppers Mumbai made Hyderabad’s job easier on the night by resting seam pair Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah ahead of their playoff against Delhi Capitals on Thursday.

The winner of Thursday’s encounter will move straight into the final, while the losing team will meet the winner of Friday’s eliminator in a playoff to decide the second finalist.

The Twenty20 tournament is being held without spectators in the United Arab Emirates this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the final scheduled for Nov. 10 in Dubai.

Hyderabad secure final IPL playoff spot after thrashing Mumbai

Confusion lingered over Rohit Sharma’s hamstring injury after the opener, considered unfit for India’s upcoming tour of Australia, turned up for an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Sharjah on Tuesday.

India will leave for Australia later this month to play six short-form internationals followed by a four-test series and Rohit has been omitted because of the injury which kept him out of Mumbai’s previous four matches.

The Mumbai Indians captain took many by surprise when he returned for their inconsequential match against Sunrisers Hyderabad despite his team having already secured a playoff place.

When asked at the toss if he was fine, Rohit said “Yeah, looks like that.”

Rohit made only four and, after their 10-wicket loss, was

asked again if his hamstring was fine.

“Yeah, absolutely,” the 33-year-old said. “I was happy to be back, it’s been a while. I was going through some tough times but, again, good to be back.

“I’m looking forward to play a few more games here and then see what happens. Always nice to be on the ground doing what I love to do so very happy about it.”

Hours before the match, Indian cricket board (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly said in an interview that Rohit had a hamstring tear and should take it easy.<iframe data-google-container-id="5" data-is-safeframe="true" frameborder="0" height="0" id="google_ads_iframe_/4735792/in.reuters/sports/article_4" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="1-0-37;12304;&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;meta name=&quot;viewport&quot; content=&quot;initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no&quot;&gt;&lt;script&gt;var jscVersion = 'r20201029';&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script&gt;var google_casm=[];&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;style&gt;	@font-face {

Confusion lingered over Rohit Sharma’s hamstring injury after the opener, considered unfit for India’s upcoming tour of Australia, turned up for an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Sharjah on Tuesday. India will leave for Australia later this month to play six short-form internationals followed by a four-test series and Rohit has been omitted because of the injury which kept him out of Mumbai’s previous four matches. The Mumbai Indians captain took many by surprise when he returned for their inconsequential match against Sunrisers Hyderabad despite his team having already secured a playoff place. When asked at the toss if he was fine, Rohit said “Yeah, looks like that.” Rohit made only four and, after their 10-wicket loss, was asked again if his hamstring was fine. “Yeah, absolutely,” the 33-year-old said. “I was happy to be back, it’s been a while. I was going through some tough times but, again, good to be back. “I’m looking forward to play a few more games here and then see what happens. Always nice to be on the ground doing what I love to do so very happy about it.” Hours before the match, Indian cricket board (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly said in an interview that Rohit had a hamstring tear and should take it easy.

Unfit for Australia, fit for IPL: Rohit injury intrigues many

Everyone who has had the pleasure of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's company have their own little treasure trove of stories and the latest to join that ever-growing list is Chennai Super Kings' emerging star Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Gaikwad was the only silver lining in an otherwise disastrous CSK campaign as he finished with three back-to-back half-centuries, albeit in inconsequential games. Gaikwad recollected how he was moved by former India captain's warmth during their first meeting in 2016 during his first-class debut.

"October 2016, I met him for the first time fractured my finger during my debut Ranji game, He was the mentor of Jharkhand. And he himself came and asked me about how I am," Gaikwad wrote on Instagram.

Cut to 2020, the 23-year-old had a string of low scores in his initial IPL matches but once again it was the skipper, who came up to him and gave him some advice which will stay with him for lifetime.

"October 2020..3 low scores, he himself came up and talked about life!! Fortunate to be able to share the dressing room with him. And more than a dream to share the 22 yards with him and Finishing things off," Gaikwad added.

Defending champions Mumbai Indians ended the group stage action in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a>&nbsp;2020 with a top-spot finish with 18 points to their name as they became the first team to qualify to the playoffs of IPL 2020 playoffs.

With Mumbai Indians finishing first and Delhi Capitals finishing second, two teams will lock horns in the Qualifier 1 of IPL 2020 on Thursday. Ahead of their first qualifier, Mumbai Indians bowling coach Shane Bond said no side wants to face MI in knockout games due to the match-winning players they have at their helm.

The likes of Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav are in sensational form with the bat and have notched up over 400 runs in the ongoing IPL 2020. Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah have led the Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack impressively and are in race for the Purple Cap.

“Our bowling line up is also as good as anyone in the tournament and I think we are the team that no one really wants to play because they know we play well and we can do some damage. We have won tight games and that makes a huge difference," Mumbai Indians bowling coach Shane Bond said in a virtual press conference.

After resting some key players in their last league game against SRH, MI suffered a crushing 10-wicket defeat. However, Bond is not worried about the outcome of the match against SRH, which was a dead rubber for the Mumbai outfit.

“Obviously, we did not play well against SRH but it was one of those days where we knew we have qualified so the game did not have any impact on our tournament. I think everybody is excited about what awaits us against the Delhi Capitals and we are looking forward to it," he added.

“I think both of our boys enjoyed the rest and we now have our bowling squad and everybody has played a game so it puts us in a really good position," Bond said.

Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has achieved a career-best 16th position in the&nbsp;ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings&nbsp;after a notable performance in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League series against Zimbabwe that they won 2-1.

Shaheen, who shot into international prominence in the ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2018 in New Zealand, has gained eight places to move into the top 20 for the first time in his career with a match-winning haul of 5/49 in the opening ODI of the series.

Wahab Riaz, also a left-arm fast bowler like Shaheen, is another one to gain in the latest rankings update. He has moved up six places to 60th position, grabbing five wickets in two matches, including a haul of 4/41 in the second match of the series.

In the batting rankings, all-rounder Imad Wasim has gained three spots to reach 49th position even as captain Babar Azam has bridged the gap a little with the Indian pair of captain Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Babar’s 221 runs, which include a knock of 125 in the third match, see him gain eight points though he remains in the third position.

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has lashed out at Pakistan cricket team after their shock defeat to Zimbabwe in Super Over in Rawalpindi as the three-match ODI series ended 2-1 in favour of the hosts. Terming the defeat as “embarrassing”, Akhtar said that Pakistan cricket will have to be progressive if they want to avoid becoming history while adding the Babar Azam-led outfit was not “expressive”.

After a tied-game, Blessing Muzarabani conceded just two runs off his four deliveries as he scalped two wickets to end Pakistan’s innings in the Super Over. Zimbabwe took just three deliveries to complete the task and end the ODI series on a winning note.

"Embarrassing. Losing to Zimbabwe is an issue. You lose some, you win some however you have to be progressive. We weren’t expressive. Change your mentality before you become history," Akhtar tweeted.

Zimbabwe, riding on a scintillating ton from Sean Williams, posted 278-6 in 50 overs with the likes of Brendan Taylor among other batters contributing well with the willow. For Pakistan, Mohammad Hasnain picked up five wickets in what was an impressive outing for the youngster.
