Published by Webster

Michael Bracewell may be unfit for New Zealand’s T20i series against India after picking up a calf strain earlier this week. Bracewell’s injury took place during the third ODI in Indore and has cast a doubt over his involvement in the ODI series. Coach Rob Walter confirmed Bracewell’s injury but said that he would travel with the team. The New Zealand cricket board also gave a statement and said that a decision on his further involvement would be monitored. “will be treated and monitored over the coming days before a decision on his further involvement in the tour is confirmed,” a board statement said. The India and New Zealand teams have both been hit by the injury bug ahead of this series, and ahead of a T20 World Cup which is set to begin in India from February 7. India have already had to face setbacks to their squad thanks to injuries to Rishabh Pant, Tilak Varma and Washington Sundar. New Zealand coach Walter also confirmed that Kristian Clarke would continue on with the team …

‘Didn’t think I’d play even one match for Black Caps; now playing 100 games is special’

Black Caps captain Michael Bracewell is aiming to do in ODIs what Tom Latham did in Tests – win a series in India. But leading a depleted side for the ongoing series with a final game at Indore, and captaining in his 100th international LOI, the all rounder said he had never expected to play even one game for the Black Caps, let alone a 100. “For a long time, I never thought I’d play once, so to be standing here on the eve of 100 games is pretty special,” he was quoted as saying by Otago Daily Times. Bracewell debuted rather late internationally, at age 31, and played his first one-day match against the Netherlands in 2022. He added he was grateful for the opportunity. “Every one of those games has been a significant achievement, I think, and certainly one that I go out and play with a lot of pride.” Now 34, the skipper who has a chance to seal the series at Indore said his progress as a regular bowler had been …

‘Leaning on Jamieson to captain attack’: Skipper Bracewell sees India tour as vital rehearsal for T20 World Cup | Cricket News

Published by Webster

With several of their leading players unavailable due to injuries, stand-in New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell will lead a relatively inexperienced side in the three-match ODI series against India, starting on Sunday. While the Kiwis may lack the experience, the likes of Kyle Jamieson could still prove handy against India on Sunday. Bracewell also confirmed that fast bowler Kristian Clarke would make his debut in the first ODI. “We have Kyle Jamieson, who’s been around the game a long time and has plenty of experience. I’ll be leaning a lot on him as captain to lead the bowling attack. He’s a very skilful bowler,” Bracewell was quoted as saying to reporters on the eve of the match. “We’re still working through the last of our (playing) XI, but I can confirm that Kristian Clarke is making his debut tomorrow (Sunday), so it’s an exciting chance for him. We’re really excited about how he’s been bowling in domestic cricket in New Zealand and also in the build-up over here,” he said. New Zealand will also have …

‘Everyone is underestimating him’: Kris Srikkanth suggests CSK to sign former RCB all-rounder in IPL 2026 Auction | Cricket News

Published by Webster

The IPL 2026 Auction is only three days away and former India opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth has thrown up a suggestion from his Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wish-list for the five-time champions. With their batting stocks already stacked up, Srikkanth wants the Super Kings to target spin-bowling all-rounders, after having already lost R Ashwin to retirement and Ravindra Jadeja in a trade to the Rajasthan Royals. Srikkanth has urged CSK to make a strong case for New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Bracewell who have had impressive white-ball outings for the Kiwis this year. “CSK already have a gun lineup till 4 with Gaikwad, Samson, Aayush Mhatre, and Urvil Patel. So they won’t be too worried about their batting. If I were in the CSK management, I would go for a guy like Michael Bracewell. Everyone is underestimating him. He has scored a brilliant century against India in Hyderabad. He can bowl good off-spin and is a left-hander who can tonk the ball. He is a good finisher,” Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel. “Not many are talking …

New Zealand Hammer Pakistan By 43 Runs To Sweep ODI Series 3-0

New Zealand Hammer Pakistan By 43 Runs To Sweep ODI Series 3-0

Published by Webster

Pakistan’s brittle batting was exposed again as a Ben Sears-inspired New Zealand won the third and final one-day international by 43 runs Saturday to sweep the series 3-0. The tourists were dismissed for 221 off 40 overs in response to New Zealand’s 264-8, in a match shortened to 42 overs after a delayed start at Mount Maunganui. It followed the pattern of the first two games, with the hosts winning the opener in Napier by 73 runs, followed by an 84-run victory in Hamilton. New Zealand also dominated the preceding T20 series, winning 4-1. Pakistan struggled throughout the tour to adjust to the sustained bounce and movement of New Zealand’s seam attack and their batsmen were again guilty of rash shots at Bay Oval. Aggressive pace bowler Sears claimed 5-34 to follow his five-wicket bag in Hamilton, with four of his victims falling to short-pitched deliveries. Fellow seamer Jacob Duffy, who was a handful in both series, took 2-40, including the wicket of Mohammad Rizwan for 37 in the 33rd over to effectively …

Pakistan were hammered 4-1 in the T20I series, and have already been outclassed in the first two ODIs of the series. Having previously beaten Australia and South Africa in ODI series away from home, Pakistan haven’t been able to replicate the same against New Zealand, continuing on from their disastrous Champions Trophy 2025 campaign.

New Zealand Clinch Series Against Pakistan, Eye Whitewash In Final ODI

Published by Webster

New Zealand secured the series against Pakistan with an emphatic 84-run victory in Hamilton on Wednesday. The Kiwis will now head to Mount Maunganui for the final ODI on Saturday, aiming for a clean sweep. The hero of the second innings for them was Ben Sears, who delivered a stunning performance, claiming a five-wicket haul in just his third ODI. After going wicketless in his first two games, Sears emerged as the standout bowler, leading New Zealand to victory with figures of 5/59. Chasing a target of 293, Pakistan suffered an early collapse. Will O’Rourke struck first, dismissing Abdullah Shafique for just a single. Soon after, Babar Azam followed, falling to Jacob Duffy for 1. Imam-ul-Haq also perished to Duffy, leaving Pakistan reeling at 9/3 in just 5.3 overs. Things only got worse as Salman Agha (9) departed, making it 31/4 in 11.1 overs. Captain Mohammad Rizwan failed to anchor the innings, managing 5 runs off 27 deliveries before being dismissed. Tayyab Tahir (13) fell to Nathan Smith, while Mohammad Wasim (1) became …

Mark Chapman Blasts Ton As New Zealand Win First ODI vs Pakistan By 73 Runs

Published by Webster

Mark Chapman struck a sublime century and Nathan Smith claimed four wickets Saturday as New Zealand eased to a 73-run win over Pakistan in the first ODI in Napier. Chapman’s career-best 132 formed the foundation of an imposing 344-9 at McLean Park before Pakistan’s promising chase capitulated, to be all out for 271 in the 45th over. The tourists looked on track at 249-3, at that point needing 96 runs to win, with more than 11 overs remaining. However, seamer Smith (4-60) helped to spark a late collapse, with the last seven wickets falling for 22 runs. Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan lamented a lack of contribution from his lower order, with the bottom six batsmen scoring just three runs between them. “We started the innings with good intent,” Rizwan said. “Obviously, at the end, the pressure increases because you’re getting nearer to the chase. We lost wickets and it changed the momentum.” ‘Rode our luck’ Earlier, the recalled Babar Azam top-scored for Pakistan with 78 off 83 balls, but it was his dismissal …
