The Washington Freedom secured a convincing 42-run victory over the Texas Super Kings in the 17th match of Major League Cricket 2024 (MLC), played at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.

Dwayne Bravo Fools Smith

On the fourth ball of the 18th over, with Washington’s score at 186/4, Dwayne Bravo delivered a decisive blow to Smith Smith. Facing t??he experienced Smith, Bravo bowls a ?slower delivery that proved a masterclass in deception.

Anticipating a faster ball, Smith had committed himself early and moved significantly outside off stump. Bravo’s slower ball ??was expertly disguised and delivere??d with precision, skirting close to the stumps. Brought off balance by the change of pace, Smith attempted to swipe across the line but missed entirely, his shot falling well short of connecting.

However, on the next delivery, he again used a subtle variation in pace and trajectory to induce an error from Smith. This time, Smith misjudged the ball and attempted a shot that resulted in a straightforward catch for Devon Conway behind the stumps. Smith’s innings ended at 57

Freedom batters shine

Asked to bat first, Washington Freedom posted a strong total of 206/5 on the board. Openers Travis Head and Steve Smith provided a solid foundation with their fifties. Head smashed a quickfire 53, while Smith anchored the innings w?ith a composed 57.

Texas Super Kings were eventually bowled out for 164 in 19.5 overs, falling short of the target by a significant margin. Texas Super Kings’ chase faltered from the beginning. While Faf du Plessis (55) and Calvin Savage (35) offered some resistance, wickets fell regularly. Young spinner Noor Ahmad impressed with his?? control, taking 3-38, while the evergreen Bravo picked up 2-40 to keep th??e Texas batsmen in check.

Rachin Ravindra was the pick of the Washington Freedom bowlers, claiming 4-16 in a tidy spell. Jasdeep Singh also chipped in with three wickets.

This victory consolidates Washington Freedom’s position at the top of the MLC 2024 points table. They displayed strong batting and bowling performances to outplay the Texas Super Kings convincingly.

It was a night to remember for Afghanistan and their fans around the world as the Rashid Khan-led side scripted history by defeating Australia in the Super 8 game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent.

Afghanistan’s batting brilliance and Pat Cummins’ heroics

Afghanistan’s innings was anchored by openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, who defied challenging conditions with a 118-run opening stand, setting a record against Australia in T20Is. Despite Pat Cummins‘ impressive spell, including his second consecutive hat-trick, Afghanistan managed to post a competitive total of 148/6. Their ability to weather Cummins�?onslaught and still set a challenging target spoke volumes about their determination and skill.

Afghanistan bowlers’ tremendous show

During Australia’s chase, Afghanistan’s bowlers, spearheaded by Gulbadin Naib and Naveen-ul-Haq, turned the tide in their favor.

Their disciplined line and length, coupled with strategic variations, kept the Australian batsmen in check throughout the innings. The final blow came in the last over, sealing Australia’s fate at 127 ?all out and marking a memorable victory for Afghanistan.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been a force to be reckoned with in the 17th  season of the Indian premier league (IPL). The team appears well-balanced and is playing with the kind of form expected from defending champions. Currently boasting a strong record of four wins in seven matches, CSK’s bowling attack has been a key factor in their success.

Bowling coach Dwayne Bravo, who took over the role from Laxmipathy Balaji in IPL 2023, has brought his vast experience of 161 IPL matches (with 1560 runs and 183 wickets) to bear in mentoring the likes of Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman.

Dwayne Bravo names the Baby GOAT of CSK

Bravo has been particularly impressed with young pacer Pathirana. He recently lavished praise on the pacer and even nicknamed him ‘baby goat,’ a testament to Pathirana’s natural talent and skills. Instead of imposing a rigid coaching style, Bravo seems to be allowing Pathirana’s natural abilities to flourish, recognizing his confidence and potential as a valuable asset for the CSK bowling attack.

“Pathirana is very special. I call him Baby Malinga. I also call him Baby Goat. He is not someone you try to coach because he has a natural ability and skill,” said Bravo.

Pathirana, who made his IPL debut for the Chennai Super Kings in 2022, has impressed captain MS Dhoni with his bowling prowess. Despite playing only two matches in his debut s??????????????????????????eason, Pathirana emerged as a? force to be reckoned with in IPL 2023, claiming a remarkable 19 wickets in 12 matches.

After recovering from an injury that sidelined him for the initial part of the current season, Pathirana has quickly made an impact, taking 9 wickets in 4 matc?hes with an impressive economy rate of just 7. His ability to consis?tently bowl accurate yorkers at the death overs has proven to be a major challenge for opposing batters.

Tushar Deshpande emerged as the standout performer for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday (April 8). In a match characterized by a slow and sluggish Chepauk track, th??e CSK bowlers capitalized on the conditions, causing the famed Kolkata team to falter while batting first.

Tushar Deshpande shines for Chennai Super Kings

Deshpande’s exceptional bowling display saw him claim three crucial wickets, playing a pivotal role in restricting the free-scoring KKR to a modest score of 137/9 in their allotted 20 overs. Making Ruturaj Gaikwad‘s decision to bowl first even more impactful, Deshpande struck immediately, dismissing the dangerous Phil Salt on the very first delivery of the game.

Ravindra Jadeja’s key contributions

Despite brief resistance from Sunil Narine and Ankurish Raghuvanshi, who momentarily challenged the CSK bowlers, the introduction of Ravindra Jadeja turned the tide in favor of the home team. Jadeja’s crucial breakthroughs disrupted KKR’s momentum, leading to the downfall of Narine and Venkatesh Iyer in quick succession.

Deshpande’s crucial wickets in death overs

With hopes pinned on Rinku Singh and Andre Russell, KKR aimed to revive their innings, but both fell short of expectations. Despite the Chepauk crowd’s anticipation as Russell stepped in to bat, he failed to make an impact, eventually departing after a run-a-ball 10. Deshpande’s influence extended to the death overs, where he showcased his mettle. In the 17th over, he conceded a mere four runs and clinched the vital wicket of Rinku. Continuing his stellar performance, Deshpande struck again in the 19th over, removing the formidable Russell from the equation.

Under pressure: Deshpande’s resilience against Andre Russell

In the pivotal moments of the match, Deshpande faced pressure after conceding a wide and being hit for a boundary on the first ball of his over. However, he displayed resilience and skill, delivering a crucial wicket on the very next ball. With a well-executed delivery, Deshpande induced a misjudgment from the in-form West Indies allrounder, Russell, who ended up skying the ball straight into the waiting hands of Daryl Mitchell at long-on.

The dismissal of Russell was a significant breakthrough for CSK, shifting the momentum firmly in their favour. Recognizing Deshpande’s impactful contribution in the death overs, CSK’s bowling coach, Dwayne Bravo, rose from his seat in the dugout to applaud the young bowler’s performance.

Emulating Dwayne Bravo’s celebration: A gesture of gratitude

In a touching display of camaraderie and appreciation, the fast-bowler, Deshpande, acknowledged the pivotal role played by the team’s bowling coach, Bravo. Deshpande paid homage to Bravo’s mentorship and guidance by emulating the celebration famously associated with the former West Indies great. This gesture not only highlighted Deshpande’s gratitude towards Bravo but also underscored the strong bond and mutual respect shared among the players and coaching staff of the CSK.

With five IPL titles under their belt, CSK enters the 17th edition of the tournament as the defending champions, and the man behind the scenes, Dwayne Bravo, has recently shed light on the secrets of their triumphs and their prospects for IPL 2024.

CSK’s remarkable journey in the IPL

CSK’s journey in the IPL has been nothing short of remarkable, marked by an unparalleled feat of appearing in a record 10 finals and clinching playoffs berths in 12 out of 14 seasons.

Interestingly, CSK’s veteran player and current bowling coach Bravo has now offered insights into this enigmatic CSK phenomenon.

Bravo confident about CSK defending the title in IPL 2024

In a recent promotional event in Chennai, Bravo shared his perspective on CSK’s formula for success and their chances of lifting the trophy once again in IPL 2024. When asked about CSK’s prospects in IPL 2024, Bravo remarked “Chances are very good” in a confident manner.

Bravo reveals the reason behind CSK’s successful run

According to Bravo, the key to CSK’s dominance lies in their well-balanced combination of seasoned veterans and young talent. He lauded the team’s management and support staff for creating an environment where players thrive without the burden of external pressures.

However, Bravo reserved special praise for CSK’s iconic skipper, Dhoni, whom he credited as the linchpin of the team’s success. Under Dhoni’s leadership, Bravo emphasized, players find themselves in an environment where they can express themselves freely and enjoy the game to the fullest.

As someone who has had the privilege of playing under Dhoni’s captaincy for the majority of his IPL career, Bravo’s admiration for the former Indian captain is unequivocal.

“We have to prepare well as a team, which we always do. We have some really good players and then the experience and youth. That is the combination that always works for us. The very good management staff and obviously ?Captain Cool, MS Dhoni, is there. So we have a very good chance to defend on a trophy,’�?/em> said Bravo.
