T20 World Cup: As New Zealand chase another world title, their sporting culture stands tall
The Kiwis, as New Zealand are called after the flightless bird that is their national symbol, have made it a habit of soaring high in recent years. The excellence though isnt restricted merely to their cricket teams that regularly reach the final stages of world events, but extends well beyond to other sporting pursuits. For a nation with a population of just over 5 million (for context, Mumbai has four times as many people!), New Zealands outsized success on the world sporting stage should be the subject of a doctoral thesis.

T20 WC: Nothing To Worry About Varun's Form, The Rest Are There To Cover, Says SKY Ahead Of Final
T20 World Cup: As defending champion India get ready for a second successive final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, where they will face New Zealand, concerns are being raised over the recent poor performance of mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, who conceded 1-64 in four overs in the semifinal against England. But on the eve of the summit clash, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav dismissed concerns over his most potent weapon and the highest-ranked bowler in ICC T20 Rankings. The figures of 1-64 in the semifinal are the most expensive Varun has ever been in a T20I match, and he had figures of 1-40 in the previous match against the West Indies. The mystery spinner seems to have gone off the boil after claiming nine wickets in the league phase, There is nothing to worry about. We have won the match. It's a team sport. Everyone gives their best. Its a collective effort; only then do you win. Once we win the match, we don't think much about anyone. But the team keeps moving up and down. There are 11 players. Everyone's day won't be good. Everyone can go up and down. The rest are there to cover. I am not worried about that. He is the world's number one bowler. He is a world-class bowler and knows how to win matches. He will definitely do that, Suryakumar Yadav said in the pre-match press conference in Ahmedabad on The Indian captain said they are now much worried about the Indian batters' struggle against off-spin bowling (India have lost 15 wickets to off-spin) and said they have not discussed this so far. We haven't discussed it at all. If we are playing the final with a strike rate of 120, then I will prefer to play with a strike rate of 120. There is no problem with the team. We do have conversations sometimes, but we don't pay attention to them. On a given day, if a batter does well against a bowler, at that time, it is important to go into the field and bat and meet the team's requirements. We are doing that. In the last game (against England), you saw that two lefties went in. An off-spinner was playing, but Ishan batted well against him, even Dube, and also Tilak Verma. So, there are not that many conversations. That too, at this stage, I don't think we should think so much. Now, if two spinners come in the final tomorrow, we will have to play them - we can't leave it and come back. So, we will handle it tomorrow, said Suryakumar Yadav. Yadav, who won the title under Rohit Sharma's captaincy in 2024, will be captaining the team in the final for the first time, and that too on home soil, which is a special feeling. He admitted there will be some butterflies in the tummy when they step onto the turf for the final, but added that there won't be any fun without pressure. I mean, it's obviously a special feeling that I'm going to lead tomorrow, and as I said, leading such a wonderful side into a final. That too on home soil. It is always a special feeling. Very excited. Of course, there are nerves. There will be butterflies in the stomach, but as I always say, where there is no pressure, no fun. I am also very excited, and all the boys and support staff, everyone. I am sure the whole of India is excited for tomorrow. We just want to keep everything very simple, not too complicated. We have been trying to do a lot of good things, trying to continue the same things. I think six years has been a very long journey for me. As I said, again, leading India, that too in such a big event, a big occasion. I am very happy. Very happy for my family, also everyone. So, yeah, very excited, said the 35-year-old from Mumbai, who is considered the leading batter in this format in the world. Asked about his process to handle pressure, Suryakumar said it is all about staying calm in tight situations. We just want to keep everything very simple, not too complicated. We have been trying to do a lot of good things, trying to continue the same things. I think six years has been a very long journey for me. As I said, again, leading India, that too in such a big event, a big occasion. I am very happy. Very happy for my family, also everyone. So, yeah, very excited, said the 35-year-old from Mumbai, who is considered the leading batter in this format in the world. Also Read: Live Cricket Score When you go into the game, you know you have done all these things before in practice. So all these things are really important. And obviously talking to each other, this feels like a proper family, so you can turn up to any player, any support staff, because even the support staff have been in similar situations before when they have played this game of cricket. So talking to each other, I think, helps a lot to be very calm, to be very composed, and that's how one takes a positive call because two people or one guy who is bowling, they are the best judge of what needs to be done when they are on the ground, when they are batting or bowling. So that time, I think a positive call is always a better option to be taken, and that's what we've been following, said the Indian captain. Article Source: IANS

ICC T20 World Cup: England head coach Brendon McCullum has defended his coaching approach following his side's exit from the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, saying the white-ball side still has the potential to achieve 'special stuff' if their talent is managed properly. Englands campaign ended in the semi-finals after a narrow 7-run defeat to India in a high-scoring encounter at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. The loss came after England had progressed through the Super 8 stage with a perfect record. The 44-year-old has faced criticism over the perception that the team environment under him focuses more on relaxation and leisure activities rather than high-performance standards. However, McCullum rejected that view, saying the reality is very different. Its never been about that. Thats a perception that is not necessarily reality. I think theres a perception that we run a casual operation. It couldnt be further from the truth. We run an informal operation, but the work is done, and the preparation is put in place, McCullum said as quoted by the BBC. Theres an environment that operates in a certain way, but because you are relaxed around that doesnt mean the work is not being done. Thats just an attitude to try to allow guys to be as free as possible to implement the skills and tactics that youre trying to achieve. Look, I make no apologies for running an informal, positive environment, but to call it a casual environment is not fair, He added. McCullum also praised Englands white-ball captain Harry Brook for his leadership during the tournament, which was his first major event as captain. Im incredibly proud of him. Hes grown immensely in the last couple of months under difficult circumstances, McCullum said. Theres a real identity to how Harry Brooks England white-ball side is going to play. Its hugely encouraging because a couple of months ago, you probably didnt have that. He has done an amazing job, he added. Im incredibly proud of him. Hes grown immensely in the last couple of months under difficult circumstances, McCullum said.

T20 WC: New Zealands Approach Towards Bumrah Depends On Situation In The Final, Says Doull
T20 World Cup: New Zealands handling of Indias pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in the Mens T20 World Cup final, especially by their openers Finn Allen and Tim Seifert, will be dictated by the situation of the game rather than any fixed blueprint, said former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull. Allen and Seifert will be under the spotlight in the title clash to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday after breaking the record for most runs by a partnership in a single edition of the tournament via adding 117 runs against South Africa in the semi-final. Their tally as a pair stands at 463 runs at a strike-rate of 183, including two century stands. How the explosive opening duo fare against Indias pacers attack, spearheaded by Bumrah, followed by Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya could prove to be decisive in deciding the winner of the tournament. Approaching Bumrah in the powerplay is vastly different depending on the game situation. If New Zealand get on top in the first two-three overs, Bumrah might bowl the fourth. If they're really on top in two overs, he might bowl the third. Generally, if India are going well, they have him bowl the fifth or the sixth over to round the powerplay out or to quieten the opposition down a little bit. So he's not the sort of guy that gives you bad deliveries. If you go chasing him, you can find yourself walking back to the dugout. So I think from New Zealand's point of view, if you look at the tournament in general, if Bumrah went for 25 to 30 in his four overs and didn't take a wicket, I think that would be a win for New Zealand, said Doull in an exclusive conversation with IANS on the eve of the final. Bumrahs influence has already been telling in this tournament. In the high-scoring semi-final against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where nearly 500 runs were scored, he conceded just over eight an over while picking 1-33. Bumrah gave away only 14 runs in his last two overs, which swung the match in Indias favour. Overall, he has 10 wickets in seven innings at an economy of 6.6, making him one of the most economical bowlers who have bowled 20-plus overs in the competition alongside New Zealand. Mitchell Santner. At his home ground, Bumrah will again be expected to be the bowler who can tilt the balance in Indias favour. If they take him for more than that, so be it. But so often, Surya looks to Jasprit to come on and take a wicket, break a partnership, come back through the middle, break a partnership, and then bowl his two brilliant overs at the death, just nailing those yorkers. So, it's always crucial for any side, I think, with Bumrah in the attack. It's just a matter of what the situation of the game is as to how they approach his over in the powerplay, presuming he gets one, added Doull, who played 32 Tests and 42 ODIs for New Zealand. Allen arrives in the high-stakes title clash after smashing a whirlwind 33-ball century in the semi-final against South Africa in Kolkata, the fastest hundred hit in the competitions history. Doull added that he expects Allen to target Pandya while being more cautious against the left-arm angle of Arshdeep. Whether he'll look for a spin early on against the two openers is going to be key, and then obviously Bumrah whenever he comes into play, which is usually one over in the power play, I think Finn Allen can probably look to target Hardik a little more than maybe Arshdeep. The left arm seam bowling has caused him the odd headache at times, but the form he showed in that semi-final, he will go into the final massively confident, he said. Allens penchant for mostly hitting straight has turned him into one of the most destructive openers in T20 cricket. He first caught everyones attention in the 2022 World Cup when he blasted 42 off 16 balls off Mitchell Starc. Now seen in squads of franchise T20 leagues like the IPL, T20 Blast, Big Bash League and the MLC, Allen has matured by sharing dressing rooms with some of the sports biggest names. He arrived at this years T20 World Cup in blistering form and, despite a quiet tournament apart from a knock against UAE, Allen rediscovered his best self in the semi-final takedown of South Africa. Allen has scored 289 runs in seven innings of this tournament at an average of 57.8 and a strike-rate of 204. He has been particularly dominant in chasing by amassing 206 runs at an average of 103 and a strike-rate of 222. He leads the tournaments six-hitting charts with 20 maximums. One thing that's really impressed me about Finn Allen in the last probably eight-nine and ten months is he's learned how to structure an innings. I think when he first came onto the scene he was a little bit gung-ho and didn't really know how to build an innings. Now it might sound silly after a 33-ball 100, but if it's not there in his wheelhouse, then he doesn't look for something that's not there. He hits the ball so well down the ground, whether it be full or on the up, and I think his understanding of the game now at the international level is a lot better than it was when he first came onto the scene, and that just takes time. So it's no easy task taking on probably Arshdeep and Hardik up front, added Doull. He also noted India would be equally aware of the threat Allen and Seifert pose, especially after the former and Daryll Mitchell went after Bumrah to give the pacer his most expensive T20I figures of 0/58 in Thiruvananthapuram in January. Well, there's no doubting that the opening combination of Finn Allen and Tim Seifert has been brilliant throughout the tournament and we saw what happened in that South Africa game - that if they get New Zealand off to a flying start, then it just makes it slightly easier on that middle order if they're required, he said. Finn Allen is probably a little more powerful, but Seifert goes square of the wicket just as well. They complement each other really nicely and they seem to have a great understanding. So there's no doubting it will be a big part of whether New Zealand bat first or bat second just to ease any pressure that might be in the dugout, whether you're setting or chasing a target. So, those two will also probably have India in their crosshairs as well. They'll know that if they can break that opening stand and put New Zealand under some pressure, then they can go a long way to doing well in the game, he elaborated. Should the top order falter, Doull stated middle-order batters Daryl Mitchell and Mark Chapman - both of whom have had limited time in the middle - would need to rise to the occasion on the biggest stage. While Mitchell has amassed only 63 runs, Chapmans run-tally stands at 91 runs. So, those two will also probably have India in their crosshairs as well. They'll know that if they can break that opening stand and put New Zealand under some pressure, then they can go a long way to doing well in the game, he elaborated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score For Chapman, it's probably time. It's time he stepped up and showed something on the world stage. He's more than capable. He's got incredible skills, particularly against spin. So he could have a big role to play against the likes of Varun Chakaravarthy and Axar Patel in particular. So, it is important for both those guys to make sure they put something on the board if they do get an opportunity, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

WI, SA And ENG To Depart From India On Charter Flights Amid Middle East Travel Disruption: Report
T20 World Cup: The long wait of the West Indies cricket team to leave India after getting knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2026 from the Super 8s is finally getting over as the Caribbean side will depart from India along with England and South Africa over the weekend on a special charter plane arranged by the International Cricket Council (ICC) due to middle east travel disruptions. According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, two-time champions England will depart from Mumbai on Saturday evening, while 2012 and 2016 T20 World Cup champions West Indies, along with South Africa, will take a different charter flight from Kolkata. The West Indies' departure from Kolkata, where they lost to India by five wickets in their last Super Eights clash on March 1, was delayed by a week due to the Middle East region being under airspace restrictions following the USA and Israeli strikes on Iran. South Africa, who lost to New Zealand in the semi-finals on Wednesday, are also stranded in Kolkata, while England are staying in Mumbai after losing to India in the second semi-final on Thursday. England will fly direct to London. West Indies, along with South Africa, will go to Johannesburg first and then to Antigua; both teams are still awaiting confirmation on when exactly they will depart, but the understanding is that it will be on Sunday, the report added. On Saturday, West Indies head coach Daren Sammy had posted Day 6 on his X account, indicating the number of days they had been stranded in Kolkata after their final match. While their spinner, Akeal Hosein, demanded help from the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo to take the team home. England will fly direct to London.

T20 World Cup: India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has revealed the reason behind his energetic celebration after dismissing Jacob Bethell in the second semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2026 played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Hardik's fast throw at the striker's end in the final over of England's chase helped end Bethel's magnificent innings of 102 runs. The reaction from the 32-year-old after dismissing Bethell was telling as he was very animated in his celebration, pumping up the entire side. Hardik revealed that it was because his son Agastya and girlfriend Mahieka Sharma were present in the stands, and he wanted them to feel his emotions after the crucial wicket. One batter I had to get out from the field was Bethell, the way he was batting. I knew I had to keep calm and throw it where it was supposed to be. I would have liked it a little closer to the stumps, but nevertheless, we got the job done, Hardik said in a video released by BCCI on X. The reaction was also because my son came, and I wanted my son and Mahieka to enjoy this moment and feel how emotional I was, he added. Before the brilliant fielding effort, Hardik showed his class in the bowling when he gave away just 9 runs in the 18th over and also took the wicket of Sam Curran, who was looking to hit hard and clear the boundary, before getting caught at mid-wicket. Hardik revealed that before the over, he entered Zen mode and, despite his heart racing from the pressure, remained calm and focused. There are two ways in life. I could have got my heart racing and not been able to execute, so I went into my Zen mode. Its quite amazing that instead of my heartbeat rushing, I stayed still. Im really proud of that, Hardik said. Hardik revealed that before the over, he entered Zen mode and, despite his heart racing from the pressure, remained calm and focused.
