Deepti Sharma showcased her dominance over Smriti Mandhana yet again, dismissing her for the third time in Women’s Premier League (WPL )history with an absolute gem of a delivery. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper, looking to assert herself ea?rly, wa?s completely undone by the sharpness and accuracy of Deepti’s off-spin.

Deepti Sharma maintains dominance over Smriti Mandhana in WPL 

It was a fizzing delivery, in the fourth over, that landed on a good length around the middle and off stump. Mandhana, expecting?? a bit of width, shaped up to cut but soon realized that the ball was neither short enough nor wide enough for the stroke. Cramped for the roo??m, she hesitated but was already committed to the shot.

The turn and skid off the surface caused Mandhana’s inside edge to drag the ball onto her stumps, sending the off-stump flying. The Indian ope??ner stood in disbelief, knowing she had fallen into Deepti’s trap yet again. As Mandhana walked back, visibly disappointed, Deepti celebrated with pure joy, knowin?g she had struck a massive blow for her team early in the innings. This dismissal once again highlighted Deepti’s ability to outthink and outfox top-quality batters, reaffirming her status as one of the finest all-rounders in women’s cricket.

Steady start for RCB after losing Mandhana early

RCB have made a cautious start in their WPL 2025 match against UP Warriorz at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. After being put into bat by UPW skipper Deepti Sharma, RCB have reached 58/1 in 9.1 overs, with Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Ellyse Perry steadying the innings following an ea??rly setback.

RCB suffered their first blow in the fourth over, when captain Mandhana (6 off 9) was bowled by Deepti, failing to read the length properly. Despite the setback, Wyatt and Perry have since looked comfortable at the crease, ensuring RCB doesn’t lose further ground in the?? powerplay.

The duo has rotated the strike well, finding the occasional boundary while maintaining a run rate of 6.32. Wyatt is batting on 23 off 21 deliveries, having struck one four and one six, while Perry remains unbeaten on 28 off 25 balls, anchoring the innings. For the Warriorz, Deepti (1/4 in 1 over) has been the standout bowler, providing the crucial breakthrough. Chinelle Henry, Sophie Ecclestone and Kranti Goud have kept things relatively tight, while Grace Harris and Saima Thakor have been a bit expensive.

With RCB aiming for a strong total, the onus will?? now be on Perry and Wyatt to accelerate while keeping wickets in hand. UP Warriorz, on the other hand, will be looking to break this partnership quickly to maintain their grip on the contest.

The Indian cricket team’s dressing room was abuzz with excitement on Sunday as they celebrated a resounding victory over Pakistan in the highly anticipated ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match in Dubai. The win not only brought them closer to securing a semi-final spot but also marked a significant moment in the tournament. Amidst the celebrations, a special guest made an appearance to add to the joyous atmosphere: former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan. Known for his impressive performances in ICC t??ournaments, Dhawan was invited to present the Best Fielder award, a tradition upheld by the team to recognize o??utstanding fielding efforts.

Shikar Dhawan’s grand entrance in the dressing room

Dhawan, dressed in a cream-coloured blazer and white shirt, accessorized with a silver necklace, walked into the dressing room with the same confidence that defined his playing days. His presence was met with enthusiasm, particularly from Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, who couldn’t help but laugh at Dhawan’s signature swagger. The former opener even performed his iconic thigh-five, a gesture that brought smiles to the faces of his former teammates. This reunion was especially meaningful, given Dhawan’s pivotal role in India‘s Champions Trophy victory in 2013.

Dhawan announces the best fielder award

The ceremony, led by fielding coach T Dilip, highlighted the exceptional fielding display by the Indian team. Axar Patel emerged as the winner of the best fielder award, thanks to his impressive performance that included two crucial run-outs against Pakistan. Patel’s precision and speed on the field were instrumental in restricting Pakistan to 241 runs. He edged out strong contenders like Ravindra Jadeja and Shreyas Iyer to claim the medal.

Dhawan’s words of appreciation for the team’s effort were heartfelt, as he congratulated the entire team, particularly the bowling unit, for their disciplined performance. He praised Kohli for his unbeaten century, which was a testament to his experience and skill. Dhawan also acknowledged the consistency shown by Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, highlighting their contributions to the team’s success.

A formula one pit stop crew analogy

Fielding coach Dilip drew an i??nteresting analogy when he compared the Indian fielding unit to a Formula One pit crew. He emphasized the importance of making quick decisions without hesitation, much like a pit crew executes precision manoeuvres in a split second. Dilip noted that India achieved five direct hits during the match, showcasing their fielding prowess.

“The way we cut the angles was excellent. The feedback from KL (wicketkeeper) was that the accuracy of the throws was amazing,” Dilip said in the video, highlighting the team’s fielding strategy.

This comparison underscores the level of coordination and precision required in fielding, where every second counts. The team’s ability to execute such strategies effectively was a key factor in their victory over Pakistan.

Dhawan’s legacy of excellence

Dhawan’s legacy in Indian cricket is marked by his exceptional performances in major tournaments. He is renowned for his impressive batting average in ICC World Cups and Champions Trophies, which stands at 65.15. This average is the highest among batters who have scored at least 1000 runs in these tournaments. Dhawan’s career was highlighted by his role in India’s 2013 Champions Trophy victory, where he was named the Player of the Tournament. His contributions to Indian cricket have been invaluable, and his presence in the dressing room served as a reminder of the team’s rich history and tradition of excellence.

With this win, India have significantly strengthened their chances of advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy. Their next match against New Zealand on March 2 will be crucial in securing a top spot in the group. The team’s morale is high, thanks to the dominant performance against Pakistan, which was capped off by Kohli’s 51st ODI century. Kohli’s unbeaten 100, supported by Gill’s 46 and Iyer’s 56, ensured that India chased down the target of 242 with ease, finishing the match with 45 balls to spare.

Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed made an electrifying start to New Zealand’s innings, dismissing Will Young for a duck with a peach of a delivery in the very first over of the 6th match of Group A in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Taskin’s animated celebration a??fter the wicket set the tone for Bangladesh’s defense.

Taskin Ahmed’s dream start

After New Zealand won the toss and opted to bowl first, Bangladesh posted a competitive total of 236/9 in their allotted 50 overs, thanks to their skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto’s half-century. The Black Caps, confident of their chase, sent Young to open the innings, but Taskin had other plans.

Bowling the final delivery of the opening over, Taskin produced an absolute gem – pitching the ball on a good length outside the off stump and getting it to nip back in sharply. Young, attempting a drive, was completely beaten as the ball sneaked through the gap between his bat and pad, crashing into the stumps.

Taskin erupted in joy, pumping his fists and roaring in celebration as Bangladesh drew first blood with a wicket-maiden over. The Rawalpindi crowd erupted, sensing the early momentum shifting in Bangladesh’s favour.

In the sixth match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, New Zealand and Bangladesh clashed in a high-stakes encounter at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. New Zealand, having won their opening match against Pakistan convincingly, chose to bowl first after winning the toss, aiming to secure a semi-final spot alongside India in Group A. This decision was strategic, given the conditions and the importance of the match. F??or Bangladesh, it was a must-win situation to keep their hopes alive in the tournam?ent after losing to India in their first match.

The match’s significance cannot be overstated, as a New Zealand victory would effectively eliminate both Bangladesh and hosts Pakistan from the competition, provided India also wins their remaining matches. On the other hand, a Bangladesh win would give Pakistan a slim chance of qualifying if they can beat Bangladesh convincingly in their final group match and have a better run rate than both New Zealand and Bangladesh.

Tanzid Hasan hoicks Kyle Jamieson for a thunderous six

The highlight of the early innings came in the 2nd over when Tanzid Hasan, then on 12*, faced a 141 kph delivery from Kyle Jamieson. The ball, angling into his pads, was effortlessly picked up and whipped over deep midwicket with a flick of the wrists. The timing was sublime—the bat met the ball with a crisp thwack, sending it sailing 82 meters into the stands. Commentators marvelled at the “nonchalance�?of the shot, a blend of audacity and skill that left Jamieson staring at the turf in disbelief. Tanzid’s strike?? not only rattled New Zealand’s early momentum but also announced Bangladesh’s?? aggressive intent.

Bangladesh’s rollercoaster innings: From flourish to fightback

As the match progressed, Bangladesh found themselves at 97/3 after 20.4 overs. Hasan was the first to fall, caught by Kane Williamson off Michael Bracewell for 24 runs, which included one four and two sixes. Mehidy Hasan Miraz followed, caught by Mitchell Santner off Will O’Rourke for 13 runs, including one four and one six. The third wicket to fall was Towhid Hridoy??, also caug??ht by Williamson off Bracewell for 7 runs.

At the time of Tanzid’s dismissal, Bangladesh had reached 45 runs in 8.2 overs. The powerplay saw them score 58 runs for the loss of one wicket. The innings was marked by a review in the first over, where Najmul Hossain Shanto was given not out after a review by New Zealand.

Najmul Hossain Shanto remained not out on 45 from 61 balls, with eight fours, while Mushfiqur Rahim joined him at the creas?e with a score of 1 from 1 ball. The run rate was steady at 4.74 runs per over, with Bangladesh needing to accelerate to post a competitive total.

The road ahead for both the teams

As the match unfolds, Bangladesh face the challenge of building a substantial total to put pressure on New Zealand. The Kiwis, with their strong batting lineup and potent bowling attack, are well-equipped to chase down any target. However, Bangladesh’s ability to surprise with their bowling, especially with the inclusion of Nahid Rana, could be a?? crucial factor in their quest to stay alive in the tournament. For New Zealand, securing a semi-final spot is within reach, but they must ensure they do not underestimate Bangladesh, who?? have shown resilience in the past.

In Match 06 of the Champions Trophy 2025 clash between Bangladesh and New Zealand at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Kane Williamson delivered a moment of pure fielding genius. With a breathtaking catch to dismiss Towhid Hridoy?, Williamson showcased his skill and composure, handing the Black Caps a vital breakthrough. It was a display of athleticism? and awareness that turned a miscued shot into a highlight-reel moment, leaving fans buzzing and Bangladesh reeling.

The build-up: Towhid Hridoy’s search for a breakthrough

After being asked to bat first, Bangladesh had been battling hard in their innings when Hridoy came to the crease. The young batter, known for his potential, found himself under pressure against a disciplined New Zealand bowling attack. Struggling to find fluency, Hridoy was itching for a release shot to break the shackles. By the 20th over, the tension was palpable—he’d scratched his way to a modest score, desperate to assert himself. That’s when Michael Bracewell, the crafty off-spinner, stepped up with a delivery that would set the sta??ge fo?r Williamson’s heroics.

Kane Williamson’s masterful effort to take a stunner

The pivotal moment arrived at the third ball of the 21st over. Bracewell bowled a full ball outside off stump delivery, tempting Hridoy into a big shot. Looking to loft it over extra cover, Hridoy gave himself a touch of room, but the execution went awry. The bat twisted in his hands, and instead of clearing th?e infield, the ball sliced high into the air—a horrible miscue that spelled trouble. Enter Williamson.

Positioned at extra cover, Williamson spotted the opportunity instantly. As the ball soared skyward, he turned and sprinted backwards, tracking its path over his shoulder. It wasn’t an easy chance—the trajectory demanded perfect judgment and speed. With his eyes glued to the ball, Williamson ran full tilt, timing his leap to perfection. As it descended, he stretched out, grabbed it securely with both hands, and held on as he tumbled to the ground. The catch was complete—a stunning effort that silenced the Bangladesh dugout and ignited the New Zeala?nd camp.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has brought with it a plethora of exciting moments, but none as amusing as a Pakistani fan’s sudden change of allegiance during the high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan in Dubai. As Pakistan? struggled to keep their tournament hopes alive, a fan was caught on camera switching from a Pakistan jersey to an India one, drawing laughter and cheers from the crowd. This incident not only highlighted ?the competitive spirit of the match but also underscored the unpredictable nature of sports fandom.

A dominant display of skill by India against Pakistan

India’s victory over Pakistan by six wickets was a testament to their superior form in the tournament. The match began with Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan winning the toss and choosing to bat first, a decision that ultimately did not yield the desired results. India’s bowling unit, led by Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya, restricted Pakistan to a modest total of 241 runs. This set the stage for a clinical batting performance by India, with Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill forming a solid part?nership that anchored the ch?ase.

Kohli’s century was a highlight of the match, showcasing his enduring class and ability to perform under pressure. His innings was complemented by contributions from Shreyas Iyer, ensuring that India never lost momentum in their pursuit of the target. The win not only solidified India’s position in the tournament but also left Pakistan facing an uphill battle to reach the semi-finals.

From Green to Blue: Pakistan fan swiftly changes allegiance

The fan’s decision to switch jerseys was a moment of levity in an otherwise intense match. Initially wearing a Pakistan jersey, he was seen discreetly changing into an India jersey as Pakistan’s chances began to dwindle. This act of switching allegiance, though light-hearted, symbolized the desperation and disappointment felt by Pakistan fans as their team struggled to stay competitive.

The incident quickly went viral on social media, adding to the rich tapestry of banter and rivalry that accompanies matches between these two cricketing giants. It also highlighted the unpredictable nature of sports fandom, where emotions can shift rapidly based on the fortunes of one’s team.
