<p>After a brilliant ODI and Test series, it's time for the T20Is. The Sri Lanka tour of New Zealand will begin on April 2, Sunday. New Zealand was clinical in the Test series as they washed the Lankans by 2-0. The first match of this T20I series will be played at Eden Park, while the second and third games will be played at the University Oval and Queenstown Events Centre respectively. In the previous T20s between the two, New Zealand lead Sri Lanka having won 11 out of 20 games. New Zealand will be led by Tom Lathams in the T20Is, while Dasun Shanaka will be leading Sri Lanka.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both squads have witnessed some&nbsp;surprising changes. While Sri Lankan fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera withdrew from the series as he is still recovering from his ankle surgery, New Zealand will be missing a major chunk of its players like Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, Tim Southee, Finn Allen and more as they will be participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.&nbsp;</p>

BAN vs ENG ODI & T20: Bangladesh vs England- Full schedule date, time, Live streaming & all you need to know

<p>On Sunday (February 26), Isle of Man recorded the lowest-ever T20 score. The&nbsp;Carl Haartman-led side bundled out for a mere 10 runs in 8.4 overs versus Spain&nbsp;at the La Manga Club Bottom Ground. None of their batters crossed the double-digit mark with Joseph Burrows (4) being the top run-getter. From Spain's perspective, Mohammad Kamran (4 for 4) and Atif Mehmood (4 for 6) starred with the ball.</p>

<p>Talking about the no-show from Isle of Man batting line-up, as many as six batters were dismissed for zero whereas there was no boundary hit throughout their forgettable inning. As a result, they have recorded the lowest score in the history of T20 cricket, going past Sydney Thunders who got dismissed for 15 versus Adelaide Strikers in the 2022/23 Big Bash League (BBL).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The match was a disaster of epic proportion for Isle of Man as Spain chased down the target in two deliveries, including a no-ball. Opener Awais Ahmed struck two sixes on the trot to take his side to a memorable ten-wicket win with as many as 118 balls to spare.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>LOWEST T20I score&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The Isle of Man also registered the lowest T20I score. They broke a four-year unwanted record set by Turkey, who got bundled&nbsp;out for a paltry 21 against&nbsp;Czech Republic&nbsp;in 2019. This isn't the first time where Isle of Man fell flat versus the Spainish line-up. Their&nbsp;previous lowest score (66) also came against Spain on February 25, a day before being dismissed for 10.</p>

<p>It is to be noted that Isle of Man have played 16 T20Is thus far,&nbsp;winning&nbsp;eight and losing seven with one game&nbsp;ending&nbsp;in no result.</p>


On Sunday (February 26), Isle of Man recorded the lowest-ever T20 score. The Carl Haartman-led side bundled out for a mere 10 runs in 8.4 overs versus Spain at the La Manga Club Bottom Ground.

On Sunday (February 26), Isle of Man recorded the lowest-ever T20 score. The Carl Haartman-led side bundled out for a mere 10 runs in 8.4 overs versus Spain at the La Manga Club Bottom Ground. None of their batters crossed the double-digit mark with Joseph Burrows (4) being the top run-getter. From Spain's perspective, Mohammad Kamran (4 for 4) and Atif Mehmood (4 for 6) starred with the ball. Talking about the no-show from Isle of Man batting line-up, as many as six batters were dismissed for zero whereas there was no boundary hit throughout their forgettable inning. As a result, they have recorded the lowest score in the history of T20 cricket, going past Sydney Thunders who got dismissed for 15 versus Adelaide Strikers in the 2022/23 Big Bash League (BBL). Also Read: NZ vs ENG, 2nd Test: Kane Williamson scripts history, becomes New Zealand's highest run-getter The match was a disaster of epic proportion for Isle of Man as Spain chased down the target in two deliveries, including a no-ball. Opener Awais Ahmed struck two sixes on the trot to take his side to a memorable ten-wicket win with as many as 118 balls to spare. Spain takes just 0.2 overs to chase a target of 11 against Isle of Man. The win margin by 118 balls remaining is the biggest in all T20 cricket. — Kausthub Gudipati (@kaustats) February 26, 2023 × LOWEST T20I score The Isle of Man also registered the lowest T20I score.

'We have one eye on the next World Cup,' says India's T20 skipper Rohit Sharma

<p>Skipper Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav produced sublime knocks as India bungled towards end before recovering in time to fashion a five-wicket win over New Zealand in the opening T20 International ushering in a new era in Indian cricket.</p>

<p>Martin Guptill (70 off 42) and Mark Chapman (63 off 50) took New Zealand to 164 for six on a good batting surface.</p>

<p>India's chase was set up by Rohit (48 off 36), who made his full-time captaincy debut, and Suryakumar Yadav (62 off 40) who came in at number three in place of rested Virat Kohli.</p>

<p>The game marked the start of a new chapter in Indian cricket with Rohit as T20 skipper and Rahul Dravid as head coach.</p>

<p>With both teams resting some of their key players as part of workload management, it was very much an even contest before the first ball was bowled.</p>

While, ahead of the T20I series against Sri Lanka Dhawan had opened up about international matches and their impact. "Any international match has its own impact, and whenever you perform internationally it makes a huge impact," said Dhawan ahead of the first T20 match against that India won comfortably by 38 runs on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>

"I'm really looking forward to perform over here and make my place stronger for World Cup contendership. Then we’ll see how it goes in the future,” said Dhawan during a virtual presser.

Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar took four wickets (4-22) and was elated after winning the Player of the Match award. He said, "I executed what I wanted to and I am satisfied. I played ODIs after a few months but execution is really important for me. The wicket was difficult to bat against the spinners." In the match, India was sent to bat first and got off to a shaky start with debutant Prithvi Shaw dismissed on the first ball and Sanju Samson out for 27. However, Suryakumar Yadav proved valuable with bat scored a half-century. Dhawan scored 46 and helped the side to set a decent target of 165. #TeamIndia win the 1st #SLvIND T20I by 38 runs 💪 We go 1-0 in the series 🙌 pic.twitter.com/9FfFbx2TTZ — BCCI (@BCCI) July 25, 2021 × While chasing the target, the Sri Lankan team lacked intent and failed to make partnerships as they kept losing their wickets at regular intervals.

IND vs SL, 1st T20I: Bhuvneshwar shines as India beat Sri Lanka by 38 runs

<p>Shimron Hetmyer's 61 off 36 balls and Dwayne Bravo's unbeaten 47 helped the West Indies seal a comprehensive 56-run victory over Australia in the second Twenty20 international in St Lucia on Saturday, to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.</p>

<p>Australia's Mitchell Marsh struck his second half-century in as many matches with a steady 54, but a batting collapse similar to the one they suffered in the opening game meant the visitors were bowled out for 140 in 19.2 overs chasing 197 for a win.</p>

<p>It marked the first time since 2010 that the team lost all 10 wickets in consecutive T20 matches.</p>

<p>"We just said we were going to do the same things we did last night, even a little better. It was fantastic to see how Hetmyer responded," said West Indies' stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran.</p>

<p>Asked to bat first by Australia skipper Aaron Finch, the hosts got off to a solid start with 46 runs in the Powerplay overs as opening batsman Lendl Simmons blasted three sixes in his knock of 30 before man-of-the-match Hetmyer took over.</p>

<p>The left-hander was the aggressor with four sixes and two boundaries as he stitched together a 103-run partnership with Bravo, who had three hits over the fence as the Australian bowlers struggled to contain the flow of runs.</p>

<p>"I think it was one of my best T20 innings. I think I paced it quite well. It really worked out well for me with the guys backing me to be the guy to just take it as deep as possible," Hetmyer said.</p>

<p>Andre Russell added 24 off eight balls after Hetmyer was run out, as the West Indies added 123 runs in last 10 overs to reach 196-4 on a good batting wicket.</p>

<p>Australia lost both openers inside four overs and barring Marsh, failed to rise to the occasion, as West Indies leg-spinner Hayden Walsh claimed 3-29 from his four overs while paceman Sheldon Cottrell returned figures of 2-22.</p>

<p>"Chasing 190 you have to get off to a good start," Finch said. "When both your openers get out cheaply, it puts pressure on a reasonably inexperienced middle order. The 100-plus partnership, that's the difference in the game."</p>

Cricket: West Indies vs Australia Preview: A feisty contest expected in Gros Islet

<p>India skipper Virat Kohli led from the front while Ishan Kishan scored a magnificent half-century on debut as hosts registered a seven-wicket win over England in the second T20I here at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday evening.</p>

<p>With this win, the hosts levelled the five-match series 1-1. Kohli played an unbeaten knock of 73 runs while Kishan scored 56 runs. Chasing the target of 165, India once again witnessed a poor start with KL Rahul being dismissed in the very first over of the innings. Rahul (0) was caught behind off Sam Curran`s delivery.</p>

<p>Opener Kishan was then joined by Kohli on the field. The duo played with an attacking mindset and the team touched the 50-run mark in the sixth over. In the 10th over, the debutant smashed two back-to-back sixes to Adil Rashid to bring his maiden international half century.</p>

<p>However, in the same over, Rashid made a comeback and dismissed Kishan on the last bowl of the over which brought Rishabh Pant out in the middle. Pant scored 26 runs off just 13 balls before getting out. Kohli was then accompanied by Shreyas Iyer. Just like Kishan, Kohli also completed his half-century by hitting an impressive six as India inched closer to the target. Continuing his stunning form, Kohli easily took the team over the line in the 18th over.</p>

<p>Earlier, a perfect display of death bowling helped India restrict England to 164/6. Put in to bat, England didn`t have a great start as Bhuvneshwar Kumar had Jos Buttler (0) adjudged leg before wicket on just the third ball of the innings. Dawid Malan then joined Jason Roy in the middle and the duo revived the innings for the visitors, taking the score to 44/1 after the end of the powerplay.</p>

<p>Malan and Roy eventually stitched a 63-run stand for the second wicket which came to an end in the ninth over after leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal had Malan (24) adjudged leg-before wicket, reducing England to 64/2.</p>

<p>Roy (46), for the second time in a row, then missed out on his half-century as he was sent back to the pavilion in the 12th over by Washington Sundar. The right-handed batsman went for a big shot, but he ended up holding out to Bhuvneshwar in the deep. Jonny Bairstow (20) got a reprieve in the 14th over of the innings, but he was sent back to the dressing room in the very same over by Sundar.</p>

<p>In the final four overs, the hosts conceded just 28 runs and as a result, England was restricted under the 170-run mark. For the hosts, Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur returned with two wickets. Ben Stokes was dismissed after playing a knock of 24 while Sam Curran remained unbeaten on 6. Skipper Eoin Morgan also contributed with 28.</p>

<p>The two teams will now take on each other in the third T20I on Tuesday. Brief Scores: England 164/6 (Jason Roy 46, Eoin Morgan 28, Shardul Thakur 2-29) vs India 166/3 (Virat Kohli 73*, Ishan Kishan 56; Sam Curran 1-22).</p>

IND vs ENG: Yuzvendra Chahal becomes India's leading wicket taker in T20I

<p>West Indies` ranking in T20 Internationals does not reflect how good the team actually is, according to wicketkeeper-batsman Nicholas Pooran. Pooran said that West Indies are often lacking their biggest stars during bilateral series, which in turn hurts their results.<br />
<br />
West Indies are the reigning champions in the T20 World Cup and the only team to have won the tournament more than once. However, they are ranked a lowly 10th on the International Cricket Council`s rankings for the shortest format of the game.<br />
<br />
"Personally, I am looking forward to the T20 World Cup [to be held in 2021 in India]. As a team, our strength is T20s. For the last couple of times, we`ve been doing good in World Cups, but as a team where we are ranked [10th], it doesn`t show how good our team actually is," Pooran said in a virtual press conference hosted by the Abu Dhabi T10 League. Pooran will captain Northern Warriors in the tournament this season that starts on January 28.<br />
<br />
"Most of the senior guys are coming back to West Indies team. Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine are all coming back eventually. As a player, I am especially excited because I want to do good for the West Indies people and put a smile on their faces. My record for West Indies in T20s isn`t that good and I want to improve on that for the next couple of months," said Pooran.</p>

Pooran will captain Northern Warriors in the tournament this season that starts on January 28. "Most of the senior guys are coming back to West Indies team. Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine are all coming back eventually. As a player, I am especially excited because I want to do good for the West Indies people and put a smile on their faces. My record for West Indies in T20s isn`t that good and I want to improve on that for the next couple of months," said Pooran.
