4 min readUpdated: Jun 28, 2026 11:28 AM IST With seven goals apiece, averaging 2.33 per game, Brazil and Japan boast two of the most prolific attacks at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. From a purely statistical standpoint, there is little to separate them. Choosing the more potent attack, hence, would have been a matter of opinion if they were not to meet in a round of 32 fixture on Monday. Brazil versus Japan headlines the first wave of knockout fixtures as the bracket for the last 32 is finally set following a captivating group stage. Here’s a quick look at five matches from those 16 that you can ill-afford to miss: Brazil vs Japan Only five teams have scored more goals in the group stage than Brazil and Japan, which highlights the potency in their respective attacks. Though, there is a characteristic difference: seven of Brazil’s eight goals have come from the pair of Vinicius Junior and Matheus Cunha. Japan, on the contrary, believe in the philosophy of decentralisation, having found five scorers so …

4 min readMumbai/ New DelhiApr 17, 2026 06:30 PM IST Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have had a torrid start to IPL 2026, losing their fourth match in a row to Punjab Kings on Thursday to languish in ninth place on the points table. The Hardik Pandya-led side began their season by beating Kolkata Knight Riders in their season opener, but since then have seen a worrying dip in fortunes. From powerplay specialists to middle-order enforcers, several of their core players have had a difficult start to the new season, which has exposed gaps in both execution and role clarity.

Daryl Mitchell’s run spree proves that the breed of ODI batting specialists will not end after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

Daryl Mitchell’s run spree proves that the breed of ODI batting specialists will not end after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

Published by Webster

With India’s batting superstars returning for, and only playing, the ODI format, the hype around the dying breed of traditional 50-over batting masters has once again caught fire. These are the batters that blend conventional strokeplay with big hits while showing the temperament to play long innings, never letting the middle-overs phase stall the scoreboard with crafty manipulations of the field. It is a template that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have mastered and showcased over a long period of time. As the 50-over format continues to take more of a backseat in the modern cricket fan’s consciousness, those talents don’t quite have such high demand anymore. But with another fine century (137 from 131 balls) in Indore on Sunday, Daryl Mitchell proved that its few remaining torch-bearers need to be valued. Mitchell’s innings was a well-paced effort that showed his mastery of the situation, against spin and pace, while in defence or attack. It took his aggregate for the three-match series to 352 runs. It also underlined just how much he loves batting against …

‘India’s all-rounder obsession is absolute brain-fade, Test cricket needs specialists’: Venkatesh Prasad slams team after loss to South Africa | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad has slammed the Indian cricket team for their “poor tactics and poor skills” after the hosts lost the second Test by 408 runs at Guwahati which sealed South Africa’s serives victory by a 2-0 margin. Prasad singled out India’s ploy of stacking the team with all-rounders but not giving them the opportunity to bowl. “Really disappointed by how India is going about in Test cricket. The all-rounder obsession is absolute brain-fade especially when you don’t bowl them. Rank poor tactics, poor skills, poor body language and an unprecedented two series whitewash at home. Hope this does not get washed off with Test matches nine months away and this negative approach changes,” Prasad wrote on X. While Prasad did not name any player, the lens has been on Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has bowled a combined total of 10 overs across both the innings at Guwahati. Former India cricketer and selector Kris Srikkanth was one of those who had pointed his finger at Reddy’s role in the team. ALSO READ | …

In the first Test match against England in January 2024, Rohit Sharma’s team fielded three spin all-rounders on a dry surface in Hyderabad. England won the match by 28 runs after which India went back to their tried-and-tested template when facing visiting teams at home — true bounce, progressive spin and a bowling composition that didn’t overcomplicate itself; two seamers, a specialist tweaker and two world-class spin all-rounders. Bouncing back after the loss in the first Test, India won the series 4-1 with a simple fallback. Standing in for the injured Shubman Gill as Test captain for the first time, Rishabh Pant admitted that the teams could start at level pegging on a new and unfamiliar home base. “Generally, we have an outlook of how (our) grounds play, but there hasn’t been any Tests (here).” On a pitch that both captains “definitely” expected to bind the traditions of the Indian red-ball game — heavy runs on the first two days and turn thereafter — the hosts have all the more reason to simply trust their …
