Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe plays a shot during a one-day international against Sri Lanka in Kandy on January 18, 2022. Sikandar Raza struck 87 off 40 balls as hosts Zimbabwe defeated Singapore by 111 runs on Monday to make a great start in their bid to qualify for the 2022 Twenty20 World Cup in Australia. Put into bat after losing the toss, Zimbabwe posted 236-5 in 20 overs with Raza, [https://sites.google.com/view/7-indian-cricketers-with-top/home sites.google.com] Sean Williams (53) and captain Craig Ervine (34) the leading run makers at Queens Sports Club in southern city Bulawayo. Singapore never looked like matching the run rate of the home team and managed just 125-7 with unbeaten Janak Prakash (32) top scoring and Surendran Chandramohan (21) the only other contributor of note. Tendai Chatara (3-14) and Blessing Muzarabani (2-21) were the most successful bowlers for Zimbabwe, who are seeking a sixth T20 World Cup tournament appearance. New Zimbabwe coach and former star batsman Dave Houghton had called for exciting, positive cricket from a team that last month suffered 3-0 series losses to visiting Afghanistan in both white-ball formats. Batting at number five, Pakistan-born right-hander Raza heeded the rallying cry with a man-of-the-match performance that included five sixes and eight fours. "This was a great start. The coach has emphasised the need to not only start the tournament well but finish it equally well. Our goal is to qualify for Australia," said Raza. "We want the other seven teams to know that we are determined to secure one of the two qualifying places on offer and I think we did that really well. "The win over Singapore is history now. The focus of my teammates and I has already shifted to the match against Jersey tomorrow." - Taylor ton for USA - A United States side including former South Africa fast bowler Rusty Theron defeated Jersey by eight wickets in the other Group A clash. Jersey, one of four contenders in Bulawayo hoping to reach the T20 World Cup for the first time, made 154-5 off 20 overs. Batting at number three, Asa Tribe struck an unbeaten 73, including six sixes, for Jersey, a tiny London-ruled island between England and France. The USA surpassed that total by reaching 159-2 with 11 balls to spare and opener Steven Taylor (101 not out) starred. He faced 55 balls and fired five sixes and 12 fours. If Zimbabwe beat Jersey and the USA defeat Singapore on Tuesday both will secure semi-finals places, leaving the hosts and the Americans to fight for first place in the group on Thursday. Four-time qualifiers the Netherlands lived up to their billing as Group B favourites with a 52-run victory over Papua New Guinea. The Dutch won the toss and posted 163-7 with Stephan Myburgh (39) top scoring while Semo Kamea and Charles Amini took two wickets each for the Pacific islanders. Papua New Guinea were all out for 111 in 19.4 overs having never matched the Netherlands run rate. Sese Bau (35) was the only batsman to impress while Logan van Beek (3-17) was the pick of the Dutch bowlers. Uganda surprised Hong Kong in the same group, winning by two wickets in a low scoring affair. Replying to 87-9, the Africans reached 88-8 off the third ball of the final over. Wins for the Netherlands over Hong Kong and Uganda against Papua New Guinea on Tuesday will seal semi-finals places. The Bulawayo finalists will join 14 other nations at the T20 World Cup in Australia from October 16.

Feb 2 (Reuters) - South Africa batsman Keegan Petersen will miss the two-match test series in New Zealand after testing positive for COVID-19, South Africa's cricket board (CSA) said on Wednesday. The 28-year-old, who was named player of the series in the 2-1 series win against India at home, [https://sportsshops.livejournal.com/3397.html https://sportsshops.livejournal.com/3397.html] will be replaced by Zubayr Hamza, who played his last test over two years ago. "The number three batsman is well and asymptomatic. Cricket South Africa's (CSA) medical team will keep in close contact with him to ensure his physical and mental well-being," CSA said in a statement. In a move to minimise COVID-19 risk, both matches will take place at Christchurch's Hagley Oval, starting Feb. 17. (Reporting by Dhruv Munjal in Bengaluru Editing by Mark Potter)

Key Factor In BBL Big-gun Teams Unveiled

The numbers have shown one the most underrated aspects of success in franchise Twenty20 cricket: [https://dailysportclubs.tumblr.com/post/683145227933990912/arsenals-all-time-leading-goal-scorer-thierry https://dailysportclubs.tumblr.com/post/683145227933990912/arsenals-all-time-leading-goal-scorer-thierry] roster consistency. Data obtained by AAP indicated the top three teams in this year's Big Bash League finals have used the least amount of players over the past three years. Each of the Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder have used just 26 regular players over the past three summers, in a show of limited squad movement. This year's other two finalists in fourth-placed Adelaide (28) and Hobart (31) have used the next least, while perennial strugglers Brisbane (37) and Melbourne Renegades (33) have used the most. The Melbourne Stars have used 32, ranked sixth after finishing this summer's competition in the same position. The figures only include players that have featured in three or more matches, removing those who filled in for one or two matches during COVID-19 outbreaks recently. "The consistency of the team, everyone knows each other's roles, it's a huge help," Thunder batsman Alex Ross told AAP. "If you look at the best teams around the world in franchise cricket, generally the teams haven't changed so much. "The old stalwarts at Chennai (in the IPL). The Sixers have won the last two, Perth are always around the mark. "You don't get that all that often in T20 cricket. You can have a poor year and all of a sudden the team half changes." Roster consistency was a hallmark of Shane Bond's philosophy as Thunder coach between 2018 and 2021, before he stood down last April citing pandemic difficulties. That approach has been continued by Trevor Bayliss, with players also embracing his direct nature and a strategy centred around ensuring risks are worth their rewards. But the overall philosophy is part of the reason the bulk of the Thunder's squad view Sunday's knockout final against Adelaide as part of finishing the job after three straight finals appearances. "Bondy definitely practised what he preached behind the scenes," Ross said. "To know what each other do, it's a lot easier to go out and perform and trust that everyone else will do their job. "If you feel comfortable in your role, the chance of you going out and performing are much higher. "Teams that can hold on to their key players and build a culture around that, definitely go further in the competitions."

Without Kohli India Bowled Out For 202 In 2nd Test

JOHANNESBURG (AP) - India was bowled out for 202 by South Africa on the opening day of the second test on Monday in a troublesome start for the tourists after they also lost captain Virat Kohli to injury before the game started. KL Rahul stood in as captain with Kohli ruled out by an upper back spasm, and top-scored with 50. But South Africa's quick bowlers had the better of the day at the Wanderers, with Marco Jansen taking 4-31 and Duanne Olivier and Kagiso Rabada three wickets each. South Africa was 35-1 at stumps and 167 runs behind. Aiden Markram was out lbw for 11 to Mohammed Shami, India's best bowler of the series so far. India leads the three-match series 1-0 after a 113-run win in the first test in Centurion last week. That boosted top-ranked India's hopes of finally cracking South Africa and securing a first test series win in the country on its eighth tour. But Kohli's absence and the dominance of the South African quick bowlers on the opening day in Johannesburg dented those chances. India's batsman Mayank Agarwal looks up as he leaves the field after being dismissed by South Africa's bowler Marco Jansen, during the first day of the 2nd Test Cricket match between South Africa and India at the Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, Monday, Jan. 3, 2022. (AP Photo/Themba Hadebe) India slipped to 53-3 in the first session after an initial breakthrough by Jansen and then two wickets in two balls from Olivier, who was recalled for his first test since February 2019. Olivier had seemingly abandoned his international career to play for Yorkshire in English county cricket and said he framed his South Africa test cap as he doubted he'd ever use it again. With a new cap for his recall - so he didn't have to break into his framed memorabilia - Olivier made an immediate impact on his return to remove Cheteshwar Pujara for 3 and Ajinkya Rahane first ball. Hanuma Vihari, in the team in place of Kohli, fell to Rabada for 20 after lunch and thanks to a one-handed grab by Rassie van der Dussen at short leg. Rahul went just before tea to a lofted hook shot and a diving catch by Rabada at square leg to leave India five down. South Africa's pacers ran through the last five Indian wickets for 46 runs despite a counter of 46 from 50 balls by Ravichandran Ashwin. Before the game, India was emboldened by a strong record at the Wanderers, where it has never lost in five tests dating to 1992, and by its own impressive pace attack. Vihari in for Kohli was India's only team change. South Africa made two changes. Olivier was recalled and Kyle Verreynne was in as wicketkeeper for Quinton de Kock. De Kock was due to miss the rest of the series anyway for the birth of his first child but made a shock announcement at the end of the first test last week that he was retiring from test cricket at the age of 29. ___ More AP cricket: website and website India's captain Virat Kohli stands in the players pavilion during the first day of the 2nd Test Cricket match between South Africa and India at the Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, Monday, Jan. 3, 2022.
