3 min readFeb 12, 2026 08:38 AM IST England captain Harry Brook admitted his side were “probably a little bit careful” in their chase of 197 runs after falling short by 30 runs against the West Indies in a crucial T20 World Cup group clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Chasing nearly 200, England believed the target was within reach at the halfway stage. However, the expected dew never arrived, the pitch did not quicken under the lights, and the West Indies’ spinners tightened their grip through the middle overs. “We thought it was chasable, definitely,” Brook said at the post-match press conference. “We obviously planned for dew, and it didn’t quite get as dewy as we thought. It didn’t quite slide onto the bat as much as we were expecting.” The turning point, according to Brook, was not panic but hesitation. “One thing I would say is we were probably a little bit careful. Chasing nearly 200 is always a big ask. Like I said, we thought the pitch would get a little …

Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma’s record stand powers India to 30-run win, take 4-0 series lead

Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma’s record stand powers India to 30-run win, take 4-0 series lead

Published by Parlour News

After a quiet start to the series, Smriti Mandhana saved her best for Sunday. Scores of 25, 14, and 1 in the first three T20Is had kept the Indian vice-captain in the shadows, but in the fourth match in Thiruvananthapuram, her sublime 80 off 48 balls not only powered India to their highest-ever T20I total but also set up a commanding 30-run win over Sri Lanka and go 4-0 up in the five-match series. “After playing a lot of ODI cricket, it was hard to get into T20 mode, playing six months of ODI and coming back to T20 was a bit hard mentally. The plans were similar; I had some gameplans against them, I came early and tried to work on that,” Mandhana said after the match. She set the early tone, creaming four boundaries in the first four overs to give her side a brisk start. Malsha Shehani and Kawya Kavindi failed to get their lines and lengths right, and the southpaw made them pay, flicking and cutting the deliveries to the boundary. …

‘Eden Gardens pitch not a turner’: Ravichandran Ashwin reacts to India’s 30-run loss to South Africa in Kolkata Test | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has said that the pitch used for the first India-South Africa Test match was not a turner, adding that it was faulty pitch preparation that had resulted in the surface becoming what it did during the match. The 39-year-old said that one could not give a turning pitch at the Eden Gardens, and if that was the case, then one would get a wicket similar to this Test match. Barring South Africa captain Temba Bavuma, no other batter made a 50+ score on a surface where his side beat India by 30 runs, defending 123 runs in the final innings. “If someone calls this Eden Gardens pitch a turner, I will not agree with them one bit. It was proper wicket preparation that went awry. The point I agree with is that it was quite dangerous. But my view is, give a turner.But there are only a few surfaces to give a turner. You cannot give a turner in Eden Gardens. If you try to give a turner there, the …

India suffered another ignominious defeat in under a year at home as they lost the first Test against South Africa by 30 runs, failing to chase down a 124-run target on day 3 at the Eden Gardens on Sunday. On a ragged pitch that has sported variable and uneven bounce aplenty across the 22 yards, India’s bowlers were frustrated by a vital partnership between South Africa captain Temba Bavuma and Corbin Bosch. The 44-run association ensured that India had to chase a three-figure score, leaving enough for the Proteas to make a match of it in the final innings. By the time India had managed to eke out three wickets, Bavuma’s unbeaten 55 had ushered a 123-run lead. India’s chase began virtually with a wicket down already as captain Shubman Gill was ruled out of the match ahead of the day’s play, after having suffered a severe neck spasm on Day 2, three balls into his innings. The start was further jolted with the early loss of openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (0) and KL Rahul (1) …
