Suresh Raina rolled back the years with a stunning fifty, leading New York Lions CC to a 19-run win over Los Angeles Waves CC in the second match of the Sixty Strikes tournament, organized by the National Cricket League (NCL) T10 in the USA.

During the 10-over game, Raina smashed 53 off just 28 balls, helping his team reach a massive total of 126. Despite a brave effort, Los Angeles Waves couldn’t ch?ase down the target, falling short by 19 runs.

Strong partnership between Suresh Raina and Upul Tharanga powers New York Lions

Batting first after being put in by Los Angeles, New York had a shaky start with opener Asad Shafiq falling early for just 3 runs. However, Raina found an able partner in former Sri Lankan opener Upul Tharanga. The duo stitched together a brilliant partnership, with Tharanga contributing a brisk 40 off 23 balls. Their stand helped New York recover from?? the early setback and po?st an imposing 126 for 2 in their allotted 10 overs.

One of the match’s highlights was Raina’s dominance over Los Angeles Waves captain Shakib Al Hasan. Raina took on the world-class all-rounder in a thrilling over, smashing him for two sixes and a four. The over completely shifted momentum in New York’s favor, as Shakib struggled to contain Raina’s aggressive intent. This explosive display of batting reminded everyone of Raina’s ability to turn a game around single-handedly, even years after his retirement from international cricket.

In a power-packed over, Raina charged down the pitch to launch the first delivery for a six, setting the tone for his innings. Unfazed, he followed it up with a boundary and another massive six, dealing a significant blow to the Waves’ captain and pushing his team further towards a commanding total.

Los Angeles Waves’ struggle in the chase

The chase began on a disastrous note for Los Angeles, as their opener Stephen Eskinazi was dismissed for a golden duck off the first ball of the innings. Although Adam Rossington (31 off 15), Tim David (19 off 10) and Joe Burns (17 off 9) tried to keep the Waves in the game, the target proved too daunting. Key player Shakib couldn’t provide the breakthrough performance his tea?m needed, managing ??just 13 off 16 balls. His bowling also faltered, as he conceded 18 runs in his only over and didn’t return to the attack.

New York’s bowlers capitalized on the strong total set by their batters. Young USA bowler Shourya Gaur was the pick of the bowlers, claiming three wickets and making key breakthroughs. Experienced South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi also chipped i??n with two important wickets, including the dismissal of Shakib. Their combined effor??ts restricted Los Angeles to 107 for 7, sealing the win for New York.

The second match of the Netherlands T20I Tri-Series 2024 will see the United States of America (USA) taking on Canada at Sportpa?rk Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht. Both teams will be eager to secure crucial points in this tightly contested tournament.

Canada enters this game after a disappointing start to their campaign, suffering a 5-wicket loss against the Netherlands in the series opener.

Saurabh Netravalkar, a fast bowler from the United States of America (USA), has been making significant strides in international cricket. Born in India, he represented the country in the Under-19 World Cup in 2010, sharing the field with notable players like KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal.

Dual career and breakthrough in USA Cricket

After relocating to the USA, Netravalkar pursued his studies and continued his passion for cricket. His journey in the USA cricket circuit began to gain momentum, especially with his participation in the Super50 Tournament in the West Indies. Netravalkar’s performances in the T20 World Cup 2024 have been particularly noteworthy, earnin??g him wides??pread acclaim.

Notably, Netravalkar bagged six wickets in as many matches, but his most important contribution came in the group match against Pakistan. In a high-pressure game, he delivered an outstanding spell, taking two wickets for just 18 runs. His performance didn’t end there; he also bowled a match-winning super over, showcasing his nerves of steel and ability to perform under pressure

Stellar performance in Major League Cricket 2024

Netravalkar recently finished the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2024 tournament as the leading wicket-taker, with 15 wickets in seven games at a bowling average of 13.46, including a four-wicket haul.

India all but guaranteed themselves a semi-final spot in the Women’s Asia Cup with a convincing win by 77 runs over UAE. This match saw India’s middle order get a much-needed hit out, and their bowlers were given plenty of mileage. Harmanpreet Kaur led the charge with a top score of 66, but it was Richa Ghosh‘s sensational late acceleration that stole the show. Ghosh’s unbeaten 29-ball 64 helped India post their first-ever score of 200-plus in T20Is, setting a formidable target for UAE.

Middle-order resurgence by Richa Ghosh and Harmanpreet Kaur

India were put in to bat and faced early setbacks with their marauding openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana, among others, dismissed early. At 52 for 3 inside the powerplay, the opportunity was UAE’s to seize. D Hemalatha, who has struggled to make the No. 3 spot her own, was dismissed for 2, leaving India wobbling. Her continued lean run could prompt the team management to consider reinstating Jemimah Rodrigues at No. 3. Rodrigues made 14 in a 54-run stand with Harmanpreet before being dismissed in her first attempt to hit ove?r the top.

Harmanpreet, on the other hand, was content to knock singles and twos early on but upped the tempo soon after the halfway mark. She brought out a range of sweeps that found different arcs on the leg-side boundary, demonstrating her ability to hit effectively against the turn. Meanwhile, Richa Ghosh made heads turn with her aesthetically pleasing cover drives and lofted hits, showing that her game isn’t just about power. She was particularly severe on Esha Oza‘s gentle long hops, hitting four boundaries in one over. Ghosh’s aggressive batting, coupled with Harmanpreet’s well-paced innings, helped India to a massive total.

UAE’s Struggles and Bright Spots

UAE hardly posed a challenge during the chase. Despite a decent start by Oza and Kavisha Egodage, who scored 36 and 40 not out respectively, UAE’s chase fizzled out in the powerplay. Theertha Satish took nine balls to get off the mark and was the first to fall in the fifth over. Pooja Vastrakar claimed her first wicket shortly after, and Oza, despite holding firm, became debutant Tanuja Kanwar‘s first international wicket. Kanwar, who impressed in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) for Gujarat Giants, finished with figures of 4-0-14-1, capping off a dream debut.UAE’s total of more than 115/8 was an improvement over their previous performances and should be a confidence booster. Despite the loss, UAE isn’t mathematically out of the semi-finals race.

England captain Jos Buttler returned to form in spectacular fashion, smashing five sixes in an over during the Super Eight match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against the United States of America (USA) on? Sunday (June 23). The Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados??, played host to this encounter, which saw England secure a comprehensive victory.

USA’s struggle with the bat

Opting to bat first after losing the toss, the USA managed a total of 115 runs in 18.5 overs. Nitish Kumar (30), Corey Anderson (29) and Harmeet Singh (21) chipped in with useful contributions in the batting department. However, the USA struggled against a disciplined Engli??sh bowling attack. Chris Jordan was the standout performer with figures of 4/10, displaying impeccable control and accuracy. Adil Rashid also contributed significantly, taking 2/13 and applying constant pressur?e on the USA batters. The consistent fall of wickets prevented the USA from building any substantial partnerships, and they were bowled out with 7 balls remaining in their innings.

Jos Buttler’s onslaught: Five sixes against Harmeet Singh

In response, Buttler launched a ferocious attack on the USA bowlers, playing an unbeaten knock of 83 off just 38 balls. His innings was highlighte?d by an extraordinary ninth over against left-arm spinner Harmeet, where Buttler hit five sixes.

The onslaught began after Phil Salt took a single off the first ball of the over. On the second ball, Buttler made room and drove a delivery over long-off for a towering six. The third ball, a full-length delivery aimed at his toes, was effortlessly lifted over square leg. Buttler’s explosive wrists came into play on the fourth ball as he dispatched a length ball over the sightscreen. The fifth ball saw Buttler muscle a shot cruelly over the leg side, and he rounded off the over with a brutal roundhouse slug over the leg side on a full-length delivery. This remarkable display of power and precision left the spectators in awe and significantly reduced the required runs for England.

Historic achievement

Buttler’s brutal assault on Harmeet made him only the second batter in T20 International history to hit five sixes in an over. This achievement placed him alongside India’s Yuvraj Singh, who famously hit six sixes in an over against England’s Stuart Broad during the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. Buttler’s innings was not only a personal milestone but also a critical contribution to England’s dominance in the match.

Ensuring England’s qualification for semi-finals

Buttler’s fireworks ensured that England chased down the target in just 9.4 overs with ten wickets in hand, securing their place in the semi-finals as group leaders. Phil Salt provided solid support with an unbeaten 25, ensuring that England reached the target without further hiccups. The emphatic win highlighted England’s dominance in the tournament and their readiness to take on the challenges of the knockout stages. Buttler’s exceptional performance, combined with disciplined bowling and effective partnerships, underscored England’s strength as a formidable contender for the T20 World Cup title.
