<p>Pakistan have had a topsy-turvy ride in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition in Australia. Having lost their Super 12 opener in a thrilling clash versus India, they also went down to Zimbabwe but won three in a row, and were helped by the Netherlands, to enter the semi-finals of the mega event. Now, they are set to face Kane Williamson-led New Zealand in the first of the two semi-finals of the showpiece event Down Under.</p>

<p>Ahead of Pakistan's semis clash versus New Zealand, former Aussie captain, Ricky Ponting has named Shaheen Shah Afridi as the key player from the Men in Green camp.&nbsp;Speaking to the ICC's official website, Punter said, "He might say that he's not back to 100 per cent just yet, but from what I've seen it looks like he's going along beautifully and he now holds the key for Pakistan progressing in the tournament. (I never had any doubt) as you just know what he's capable of when he's out there on the field.&nbsp;And as I said, even if he's not at 100 per cent, if he's operating at 90 per cent, he's still going to have more of an impact on games than most because of how good he is."</p>

<p>The two-time ODI World Cup-winning captain Ponting said, "So look, he might have had a few worries in the back of his own mind and the Pakistan hierarchy and coaching group might have had a few worries in their mind, but not anymore. He's got through really well so far and hopefully for them two more games to go.”</p>

<p>Talking about Shaheen's run so far in the T20 WC, the pacer started off slowly but ended the Super 12 round with a four-fer versus Bangladesh. Overall, he has accounted for eight wickets from five games in the main draw of the competition, at an average of&nbsp;14.75. Babar &amp; Co. will hope for him to run through the Kiwi batting line-up on Wednesday at the iconic SCG, Sydney and confirm a spot in the T20 WC final. Shaheen has always fancied playing against the Black Caps. He ended with a stunning 3 for 28 in 10 overs during the Pakistan-NZ group stage clash in the 2019 ODI WC and followed it up with a tidy spell when both sides met in the 2021 T20 WC Super 12 round, ending with 1 for 21. The last two Pak-NZ World Cup face-offs have resulted in a win for the Men in Green.</p>

T20 World Cup 2022:  Four semi-finalists confirmed as Pakistan beat Bangladesh

<p>Joshua Little joined an elite club of bowlers during Ireland's last league stage match in the Super 12 round of the T20 World Cup 2022 edition on Friday (November 04). In Ireland's face-off versus table-toppers New Zealand, at the&nbsp;Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, Little became only the sixth bowler in T20 WC history to claim a hat-trick (removing Kane Williamson, Jimmy Neesham and Mitchell Santner, respectively). In addition, he joined Curtis Campher to become only the second Irishman to achieve this feat in tournament history. Campher had taken a hat-trick in the 2021 edition, versus the Netherlands.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>List of hat-tricks in T20 WC history</strong></p>

<section>
<p>Brett Lee vs Bangladesh (2007)</p>

<p>Curtis Campher vs Netherlands (2021)</p>

<p>Wanindu Hasaranga vs South Africa (2021)</p>

<p>Kagiso Rabada vs England (2021)</p>

<p>Karthik Meiyappan vs Sri Lanka (2022)</p>

<p><strong>Joshua Little vs New Zealand (2022)</strong></p>

<p>Furthermore, Little has also added another feather to his hat during the NZ face-off in Adelaide. He achieved the milestone of accounting for most&nbsp;T20 scalps in a calendar year&nbsp;in the history of the shortest format. The 23-year-old&nbsp;speedster has so far taken a total of 39 wickets in 2022.</p>

<p><strong>Most wickets by a bowler in T20Is during a calendar year:</strong></p>

<p><strong>39 - Joshua Little (2022)</strong></p>

<p>38 - Sandeep Lamichanne (2022)</p>

<p>35 - Dinesh Nakarni (2021)</p>

<p>35 Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2022)</p>

<p>India's Bhuvneshwar Kumar occupies the fifth spot, jointly with Dinesh Nakarani, and has a chance to top the list by the end of the ongoing T20 WC in Australia. If India reach the final and win it with Bhuvi playing a big role with the ball, he will top the list.</p>

<p>Talking about the NZ-Ireland clash, Kane Williamson-led Black Caps posted a competitive 185 for 6, riding on Williamson's 61 and Finn Allen's 32. A win will ensure NZ a place in the semi-finals.&nbsp;</p>

NZ vs IRE: Joshua Little becomes 2nd Irish bowler to take hat-trick in T20 World Cup after Curtis Campher

<p>India and Bangladesh played a humdinger of a clash in the Super 12 round of the T20 World Cup on Wednesday (November 02) at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led India posted 184 for 6 riding on half-centuries from KL Rahul (50) and in-form batter Virat Kohli (44-ball 64*). In reply, Litton Das came out all guns blazing and took the Bangla Tigers to 66 for no loss in seven overs when rain made its presence felt.&nbsp;After the rain break, the revised target was 151 in 16 overs with Bangladesh still ahead of India. However, wickets fell at regular intervals and the Shakib Al Hasan-led side eventually managed 146-5, falling short by five runs (DLS method). However, a controversy erupted after the clash, which was an action-packed affair from the word go.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nurul Hasan, who remained unbeaten on 25 along with Taskin Ahmed, has accused Kohli of fake fielding. The incident he was referring to happened in the seventh over when Litton Das played the ball towards the deep off Axar Patel and Arshdeep Singh collected it and threw it at the striker's end. Amid Arshdeep's throw, it appeared as if Kohli was relaying a throw from the deep. However, no one noticed it and proceedings carried on uninterrupted.</p>

KL Rahul's splendid throw sends Litton Das back to the pavillion in IND-BAN T20 WC tie - Watch

<p>On Thursday (November 03), Pakistan beat South Africa by 33 runs (DLS method) to earn two vital points in the business end of the Super 12 round at the iconic SCG, Sydney. Batting first, Babar Azam-led Men in Green had their back against the wall and were reduced to 43 for 4 before fifties from Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan revived the Pakistan innings and took them to a daunting 185 for 9. In reply, the Temba Bavuma-led Proteas were never in the run-chase and reduced to 66 for 4 before a brief rain break brought forward a revived target; with SA needing 142 (73 off 30 balls).&nbsp;</p>

Batting first, Babar Azam-led Men in Green had their back against the wall and were reduced to 43 for 4 before fifties from Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan revived the Pakistan innings and took them to a daunting 185 for 9. In reply, the Temba Bavuma-led Proteas were never in the run-chase and reduced to 66 for 4 before a brief rain break brought forward a revived target; with SA needing 142 (73 off 30 balls).

T20 World Cup 2022 points table: Here's a look at Super 12 standings after Pakistan thrash South Africa

<p>India beat Bangladesh in another thrilling clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition on Wednesday (November 02). After two back-to-back victories, India lost a low-scoring thriller versus South Africa in Perth, on October 30, before returning to winning ways in a close rain-curtailed encounter versus the Bangla Tigers at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Being asked to bat first, Rohit &amp; Co. rode on half-centuries from KL Rahul (50) and Virat Kohli (44-ball 64 not out) and R Ashwin's 6-ball 13* to post a competitive 184 for 6 in 20 overs. In reply, Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh came out all guns blazing in the run-chase and rode on Litton Das' rapid 27-ball 60 to be ahead of India during the rain break, when they were well-placed at 66 for no loss in seven overs. Back then, they were 17 runs ahead of India in DLS score but his departure soon after the rain break titled the momentum in India's favour.</p>

<p>With the revised target being 151 in 16 overs, Bangladesh's chase went downwards as wickets fell in regular intervals whereas the Indian fielders also rose to the occasion.&nbsp;Arshdeep Singh (2 for 38), Hardik Pandya (2 for 28) and Md Shami were among wickets. Rahul's throw to dismiss Litton changed the momentum for India. Eventually, India restricted Bangladesh to 145-6 as they lost by five runs (DLS).</p>

T20 World Cup 2022 points table: Here's a look at Super 12 standings after India beat Bangladesh

<p>Virat Kohli added another feather to his illustrious cap in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday (November 02) as he became the highest run-getter in the history of the tournament. Kohli continued his sensational run with the willow as he notched up his third fifty in four games during India's Super 12 clash against Bangladesh at the Adelaide Oval.</p>

<p>Kohli scored an unbeaten 64 off 44 deliveries to help India post a strong total of 184 runs on the board and go past Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene in the list of highest run-getters in T20 World Cup history. Kohli now has 1065 runs in 25 matches in T20 World Cups at a brilliant average of&nbsp;88.75 and a strike rate of over 132.</p>

<p>Kohli needed just 16 runs to surpass Jayawardene in India's clash against Bangladesh and the batting maestro once again looked in sublime control throughout his innings as he notched up his third fifty in the tournament. Kohli has now scored a staggering 13 half-centuries in the T20 World Cup and has arguably been the most prolific run-getter in the tournament over the years.</p>

<p>Lauding him for his incredible consistency, former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson called Kohli a 'freak' and said his numbers in the T20 World Cup are 'ridiculous'. Watson said he was unable to wrap his around Kohli's numbers despite T20s being a high-risk, high-reward format for batters.</p>

<p>"Over 1000 runs in T20 World Cups at an average of over 80, I am not able to get my head around this. T20 cricket is a high-risk game, high-risk batting and to think that he can do it at the biggest tournament, averaging so much and winning so many games for his countryâ€¦ he is a freak and those statistics are super freakish. It’s incredible that you can bat in such a high-risk format and score consistently. It’s ridiculous," Watson said during commentary on <em>Star Sports</em>.</p>

<p>Kohli has silenced all his doubters with his purple patch in the ongoing T20 World Cup. There were concerns surrounding his form with many even questioning his spot in the T20 squad in the build-up to the showpiece event in Australia. However, Kohli has managed to answer his critics in style with some remarkable performances so far.</p>

<p>With the help of his 44-ball 64, India posted 184 runs on the board and would be hoping to defend the total to bounce back to winning ways post their loss against South Africa in their last game.</p>

Virat Kohli is a freak, his consistency in T20 World Cups is ridiculous: Shane Watson

<p>India have locked horns with Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition on Wednesday (November 02), at the picturesque Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue posted a competitive 184/6 riding on KL Rahul's 50 and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 44-ball 64.</p>

<p>After Rahul's fluent knock, the onus fell on Kohli who held one end and took the one-time winners to a score near the 200-run mark. However, a minor controversy broke during the 15th over of the Indian innings.&nbsp;In the final delivery of the 15th over, pacer Hasan Mahmud banged in a short ball it rose on to the right-hander. Kohli immediately gestured at the umpires for a no-ball. The on-field umpire Marais Erasmus gave it a no-ball but Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan wasn't impressed with Kohli's appeal.</p>

T20 WC: Shakib Al Hasan baffled as Virat Kohli asks for a no-ball from umpires, duo involved in brief chat

<p>Team India will face Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday (November 02). After two successive wins, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. lost a close game to South Africa at Perth Stadium, Perth on Sunday (October 30). While India's destiny remain in their own hands to reach the semi-finals, they will hope to beat the Bangla Tigers -- who also remain in contention to reach the final four -- and strengthen their chances of progressing ahead.</p>

<p>The last time India and Bangladesh squared off in the T20 WC was in the 2016 edition, held in India. Playing at the M Chinnaswammy Stadium, Bengaluru, the then MS Dhoni-led Men in Blue only managed a modest 146/7 after being asked to bat first. In reply, Bangla Tigers were cruising towards a win, with two needed off the last three balls, before they lost the plot to be restricted to 145/9; losing by a run courtesy of Dhoni's famous run-out.</p>

<p>So far, India and Bangladesh have faced each other thrice in the T20 WC. The one-time winners have won on all occasions. Will the script remain the same this time around as well?&nbsp;</p>

T20 WC 2022, India vs Bangladesh, live cricket streaming: When and where to watch crucial Super 12 tie?

<p>Ahead of India's crucial Super 12 clash versus Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup, head coach Rahul Dravid reacted to BCCI chief selector Chetan Sharma's recent remark, where he claimed that Team India&nbsp;will win the mega event in Australia.</p>

<p>After BCCI announced India's squads for the forthcoming tour of New Zealand and Bangladesh, which will take place after the T20 WC Down Under, Sharma addressed a virtual presser. He was asked to comment on India's team selection and whether they should play Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Karthik.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To this, Sharma said, "Tournament k andar selection committee ko koi comment nahi karna chahie. (I should refrain from commenting&nbsp;on team selection during a tournament) That is the call of the captain, coach and team management. After the World Cup, when we sit and discuss, I will definitely comment on that. It will be wrong for me to say anything in the middle of the tournament. I'm with the team. I'm watching. We are performing brilliantly and we will win the World Cup."</p>

<p>Prior to India-Bangladesh tie, at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, head coach Dravid attended the pre-match presser and reacted to the chief selector's comments. The former Indian captain was in splits and&nbsp;said, "I haven't heard what he said but I'm glad that he's confident. We need to play well to win the World Cup. We've started well.

Ahead of India's crucial Super 12 clash versus Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup, head coach Rahul Dravid reacted to BCCI chief selector Chetan Sharma's recent remark, where he claimed that Team India will win the mega event in Australia. After BCCI announced India's squads for the forthcoming tour of New Zealand and Bangladesh, which will take place after the T20 WC Down Under, Sharma addressed a virtual presser. He was asked to comment on India's team selection and whether they should play Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Karthik. To this, Sharma said, "Tournament k andar selection committee ko koi comment nahi karna chahie. (I should refrain from commenting on team selection during a tournament) That is the call of the captain, coach and team management. After the World Cup, when we sit and discuss, I will definitely comment on that. It will be wrong for me to say anything in the middle of the tournament. I'm with the team. I'm watching. We are performing brilliantly and we will win the World Cup."

<p>Pakistan find themselves at a precarious position in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition. After three encounters in the Super 12, the Men in Green have won just one game and lost two thrilling contests (including one against Zimbabwe).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Opening their campaign versus India, the Babar Azam-led side lost on the final ball whereas they fell short versus Zimbabwe as well, once again losing on the last delivery of a low-scoring thriller. With two more games to go, Pakistan need a miracle to qualify ahead. Amid their T20 WC woes, former Indian opener-turned-commentator Gautam Gambhir has slammed Babar and called him a selfish captain.</p>

<p>"In my opinion, first, you think about your team instead of yourself; if nothing goes according to your plan, you should have sent Fakhar Zaman up the batting order. This is called selfishness; as a captain, it is easy to be selfish. It is easy for Babar and Rizwan to open the innings for Pakistan and create so many records. If you want to be a leader, you have to think about your team," said Gambhir in commentary during the Pakistan-Netherlands game, which the former won by six wickets in pursuit of a paltry 92 on October 30 (Sunday) in Perth.</p>

<p>Pakistan didn't pick Fakhar Zaman for their opening two games and when they included him for the Dutch encounter, he batted at No. 3 with a struggling Babar still retaining his opening slot, with Md Rizwan. In the recent past, both Rizwan and Babar have been slammed for their low strike rate and similar playing styles, which many believe are hurting Pakistan's progress with the bat.</p>

This is called selfishness: Gautam Gambhir rips into Babar Azam amid Pakistan's T20 World Cup woes

<p>Opting to bowl first, India restricted Babar Azam &amp; Co. for 159 for 8 in 20 overs, with Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya chipping in with three-fers each.

Discussions are on for India-Pakistan Test in Australia: Former Aussie all-rounder makes big claim

<p>Rohit Sharma-led India lost their first game in the Men's T20 World Cup 2022 when they went down to South Africa by five wickets in Perth on Sunday (October 30). While they very remain alive in the race for the semifinals, BCCI selection committee, on Monday (October 31), announced India's T20I squad for the New Zealand series, in Black Caps' backyard, post the ongoing ICC event.</p>

<p>As expected, regular captain Rohit, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and some big names have been rested as Hardik Panya will lead the Men in Blue, with Rishabh Pant as his deputy. After the squad announcement, chief selector and former player Chetan Sharma opined on Rohit-Kohli's T20I future with regard to the next edition of the T20 WC, in 2024.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"In the middle of the tournament, how do you expect the chairman of selectors to speak to somebody? I shouldn't be speaking to anyone (about their future) in the middle of the tournament. They are such big players, if they are getting to understand something, they themselves will come and talk to us," Sharma said while addressing a virtual presser.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from the NZ T20I squad, BCCI also named India's ODI squad for the series versus the Kiwis and the ODI, Test squad for the Bangladesh tour, which will commence in December.</p>

<p>While the squad sees the return of Rohit, Kohli and many other senior players, including all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah continues to be out due to back injury which made him skip the T20 WC. Opening up on Bumrah, Sharma admitted the selectors' mistake and said, "We tried to hurry Jasprit Bumrah before the T20 World Cup and you saw what happened. So we want to be patient now. Little cautious to have him in Bangladesh tour."</p>

Chetan Sharma opines on Rohit, Kohli's future for 2024 T20 WC, reveals where they went wrong with Bumrah

<p>Australia beat Ireland in their penultimate Super 12 clash in the Men's T20 World Cup 2022 edition, on Monday (October 31). Playing the Irish at The Gabba, Brisbane -- which hosted its first game in the ongoing edition -- Finch &amp; Co. eased past the Andrew Balbirnie-led side by 42 runs and remain alive in the race for the semi-finals. However, a bigger win would've ensured a more healthy Net Run Rate (NRR) for the hosts and defending champions;&nbsp;a need of the hour for teams like Australia and England in Group A (which has been dominated by New Zealand).</p>

<p>Being asked to bat first, Australia weren't off to a great start as they lost David Warner for cheap (3). Finch, who has been struggling for runs, also didn't get off to a flier. Mitchell Marsh, at No. 3, returned for a 23-ball 28. Finch managed to up the ante during his crucial 70-run fourth-wicket stand with Marcus Stoinis (who scored a vital 25-ball 35) and returned with a 44-ball 63, laced with 5 fours and 3 sixes. He managed to hit some big shots -- off&nbsp;Mark Adair and George Dockrell -- before his departure. Late hits from Tim David and Matthew Wade took Aussies to a competitive 179-5.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In reply, Ireland were off to a promising start before they were reduced to 25 for 5 after being 18 for no loss. Two wickets apiece from Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc dented Ireland's chase as they were bundled out for 139 in 18.1 overs. Lorcan Tucker's entertaining 48-ball 71 was the only shining aspect for Ireland during their run-chase. His inning prevented the hosts from attaining a more comprehensive victory, which could've bolstered their NRR further (had they won by 75 runs, or more, it would've taken them above England) as Group A continues to be congested with many contenders for the second spot (given NZ already have a one foot in the semi-finals).</p>

<p><strong>What they said</strong></p>

<p><strong>Aaron Finch:</strong>&nbsp;It was a good performance. Getting 180 was a decent score on that wicket. We knew we had to lay the foundation early and couldn't risk being 4-5 down. Just a little bit of hammy tightness, he (Tim David) sat out as a precaution. It is nice when it works like that (not opening with Starc), doesn't always work but there's a lot of time and planning that goes into it, sometimes you look great and sometimes you look stupid, you take the good with the bad in this format. It would have been nice, having them 5 for 25 to really push that forward, Tucker played a helluva knock there.</p>

<p><strong>Andrew Balbirnie:</strong>&nbsp;It was hardly fought. The first innings got away, we bowled well but a couple of overs didn't go our way and certainly didn't get the start with the bat, but to show the fight&nbsp;at the end was nice. Looking at the scoreboard we thought it wasn't against us, again the wickets column was a problem and who knows if someone had stayed with Tucker. He has had a really good World Cup and these wickets here suit him.</p>

T20 WC: Australia ease past Ireland, miss out on golden chance to improve NRR as race for semis intensifies

<p>Team India conceded their first game in the Men's T20 World Cup 2022 edition, losing to South Africa by five wickets at the Perth Stadium, Perth on Sunday (October 30). Batting first on a spicy wicket, Rohit Sharma-led India never got going and were reduced to 49 for 5 in no time before Suryakumar Yadav's gutsy and entertaining 40-ball 68 propelled India to 133-9 in 20 overs. In reply, SA were tottering at 40-3 at the halfway stage before the fifties from Aiden Markram (52) and David Miller (59 not out) took their side home in the last over. With the win, the Temba Bavuma-led Proteas now occupy the top spot in Group B.</p>

<p>Talking about India, the one-time winners' campaign is still on track and they very much remain in the race to seal a semi-final spot. Given India started their campaign with two back-to-back wins, they have four points from three games and will now face Bangladesh (November 02) and Zimbabwe (November 6) in their last two group stage encounters. After the defeat to South Africa, India is likely to end in the second spot and qualify for the last four.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While anything can happen in the remaining matches at the T20 WC, there are quite a few incredible patterns for Team India which indicate that they might have the final laugh at the ICC event in Australia. <strong>Here's a look at such factors which point out that it might be Rohit &amp; Co.'s T20 WC:</strong></p>

<p>1) The last time India successfully defended a score versus Australia in a warm-up game prior to the World Cup was in 2011. Ahead of the 2011 ODI WC, MS Dhoni's India dismissed Australia for a paltry 176 after posting 214, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. In the run-up to the T20 WC 2022 Down Under, the Men in Blue did the same by defending a competitive score, 186 for 7, by six runs. Will 2011 heroics repeat this time around?</p>

<p>2) Ireland defeated England in the group stage of the T20 WC 2022 edition on October 26, at the MCG, Melbourne. The last time the Irish side defeated the Three Lions in a World Cup was in 2011. Well, we all know which side walked away with the mega title.&nbsp;</p>

<p>3) The last time SA defeated India in an ICC event came in the 2011 ODI WC. Back then, the Proteas defeated India with two balls to spare. On Sunday (October 30), Bavuma &amp; Co. also won in 19.4 overs.&nbsp;</p>

Team India conceded their first game in the Men's T20 World Cup 2022 edition, losing to South Africa by five wickets at the Perth Stadium, Perth on Sunday (October 30).

Team India conceded their first game in the Men's T20 World Cup 2022 edition, losing to South Africa by five wickets at the Perth Stadium, Perth on Sunday (October 30). Batting first on a spicy wicket, Rohit Sharma-led India never got going and were reduced to 49 for 5 in no time before Suryakumar Yadav's gutsy and entertaining 40-ball 68 propelled India to 133-9 in 20 overs. In reply, SA were tottering at 40-3 at the halfway stage before the fifties from Aiden Markram (52) and David Miller (59 not out) took their side home in the last over. With the win, the Temba Bavuma-led Proteas now occupy the top spot in Group B. Talking about India, the one-time winners' campaign is still on track and they very much remain in the race to seal a semi-final spot. Given India started their campaign with two back-to-back wins, they have four points from three games and will now face Bangladesh (November 02) and Zimbabwe (November 6) in their last two group stage encounters. After the defeat to South Africa, India is likely to end in the second spot and qualify for the last four. While anything can happen in the remaining matches at the T20 WC, there are quite a few incredible patterns for Team India which indicate that they might have the final laugh at the ICC event in Australia. Here's a look at such factors which point out that it might be Rohit & Co.'s T20 WC: 1) The last time India successfully defended a score versus Australia in a warm-up game prior to the World Cup was in 2011. Ahead of the 2011 ODI WC, MS Dhoni's India dismissed Australia for a paltry 176 after posting 214, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. In the run-up to the T20 WC 2022 Down Under, the Men in Blue did the same by defending a competitive score, 186 for 7, by six runs. Will 2011 heroics repeat this time around? 2) Ireland defeated England in the group stage of the T20 WC 2022 edition on October 26, at the MCG, Melbourne. The last time the Irish side defeated the Three Lions in a World Cup was in 2011. Well, we all know which side walked away with the mega title. 3) The last time SA defeated India in an ICC event came in the 2011 ODI WC. Back then, the Proteas defeated India with two balls to spare. On Sunday (October 30), Bavuma & Co. also won in 19.4 overs. 4) The last time India faced the Netherlands in an ICC event was also in 2011. Before that, they had faced them during the 2003 edition of the 50-over World Cup. So, whenever India have faced the Dutch line-up, they have reached the finals; winning the championship in the last instance.

Four incredible patterns that suggest India might lift the T20 World Cup 2022 trophy

<p>Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik hurt his back during the team's T20 World Cup encounter against South Africa on Sunday (October 30). Karthik is now doubtful to start against Bangladesh in Adelaide.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Karthik was unable to handle the pace, bounce and swing of the South African bowlers in a crucial Super 12 match of Group 2 as he managed only six off 15 balls in a 52-run stand. So far in the tournament, Karthik has struggled to score runs with the bat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the match against South Africa, Karthik was observed writhing in agony at the conclusion of the 15th over while clutching his back and hunched over on his knees.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The physio rushed out right away, and a few minutes later, he was spotted leaving the scene holding his back.

T20 World Cup: India's Dinesh Karthik suffers back injury, doubtful for Bangladesh clash

<p>Indian skipper Rohit Sharma expressed regret over the missed chances during the T20 World Cup match against South Africa on Sunday (October 30) at Perth Stadium, thanks to half-centuries from David Miller and Aiden Markram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A crucial 76-run partnership between Miller (59 not out) and Markram (52) led the team to achieve the set target with two balls to spare after the South African bowlers had held India to 133-9.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the match, India made mistakes on the field as well. Markram survived a scare at 35 when a fumbling Virat Kohli dropped an easy catch at deep mid-wicket. Rohit, who said that the team was "just not good enough", also missed an underarm direct hit at the striker's end.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the post-match presentation, Rohit said, "We were a little poor in the field, we gave so many chances and we weren't clinical. We were just not good enough."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The last two games, we were pretty good in the field. We couldn't hold our chances, we missed a few run-outs. We need to keep our heads high and take learning from this game," the Indian skipper added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rohit said, "We expected the pitch to have something in it, with the weather around. We knew there will be help for the seamers. Which is why you saw that 130 was not an easy chase.

T20 WC: Rohit Sharma rues missed chances against South Africa, says 'we were just not good enough'

<p>India's star batter Virat Kohli dropped quite an easy catch during a key match against South Africa in the ongoing T20 World Cup on Sunday (October 30).&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the match, India set a below-par target of 134 to win for the South African team after Lungi Ngidi led a fiery pace onslaught and left Indian batters struggling.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Suryakumar Yadav (68) emerged as the top scorer for Men In Blue, hitting an attacking half-century but it was not good enough. Aiden Markram and David Miller's half-centuries helped South Africa beat India by five wickets.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Believe it or not! Virat Kohli drops a sitter in T20 World Cup match against South Africa - Watch

<p>In the T20 World Cup, which is underway in Australia, Pakistan registered their first win, defeating the Netherlands by six wickets on Sunday (October 30) but a nasty incident during the match grabbed eyeballs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the match, Netherlands won the toss and opted to bat at&nbsp;<br />
Perth Stadium but Pakistan's bowlers, led by spinner Shadab Khan, restricted the Dutch to 91-9.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In return, the Men In Green cruised to 95-4 with 37 balls to spare as Mohammad Rizwan made 49 to keep their faint hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When the Netherlands were batting, a nasty bouncer from Rauf got through Bas de Leede's helmet grill, forcing the batsman off the ground with a bruised cheekbone.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He came out from the doctor's office to finish the game in the dugout while sporting what seemed to be a terrible black eye. De Leede was substituted out and was replaced in the starting XI by Logan van Beek</p>

<p>A report by circleofcricket.com stated that examinations at the hospital revealed he had sustained a concussion and a cut beneath his right eye.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For Pakistan, it was the bowlers who helped the team win after they had lost to India in their opener and then been upset by Zimbabwe in Group 2. In order to establish the tone for their team's dominance against a Dutch squad that is no longer eligible for the semifinals after losing a third consecutive Super 12 game, Shadab recorded figures of 3-22 and fast bowler Mohammad Wasim claimed two wickets.&nbsp;</p>

In the T20 World Cup, which is underway in Australia, Pakistan registered their first win, defeating the Netherlands by six wickets on Sunday (October 30) but a nasty incident during the match grabbed eyeballs. During the match, Netherlands won the toss and opted to bat at Perth Stadium but Pakistan's bowlers, led by spinner Shadab Khan, restricted the Dutch to 91-9. In return, the Men In Green cruised to 95-4 with 37 balls to spare as Mohammad Rizwan made 49 to keep their faint hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive. When the Netherlands were batting, a nasty bouncer from Rauf got through Bas de Leede's helmet grill, forcing the batsman off the ground with a bruised cheekbone. He came out from the doctor's office to finish the game in the dugout while sporting what seemed to be a terrible black eye. De Leede was substituted out and was replaced in the starting XI by Logan van Beek A report by circleofcricket.com stated that examinations at the hospital revealed he had sustained a concussion and a cut beneath his right eye.
