STAT OF THE DAY: World champions Australia lose to Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan at home for first time in 7 years | Cricket News

Published by Webster

As Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan scored a nine-wicket win over world champions Australia in the second ODI of the three-match ODI series played at Adelaide, it was the Men in Green’s first win Down Under in 7 years. The last time Pakistan won against Australia in Australia was in January 2017, when the Mohammad Hafiz-led Pakistan team scored a six-wicket win over Steve Smith-led Australian team in the second ODI of the five-match series played at Melbourne. Pakistan had then lost the remaining three matches of the series to lose the series 1-4. On Friday, fast bowler Haris Rauf took five wickets to see the world champions bundled out for 163 runs in 35 overs before Saim Ayub (82) and Abdullah Shafiq (64 no) set up the nine-wicket win. “We are so happy to win this game. Yeah, Pakistan fans come out to see us everywhere in the world. I’ve played a lot for Melbourne Stars, so I know these conditions about where we bowl,” said Rauf post the win at Adelaide. It was also Pakistan’s …

Virat Kohli Last Played Ranji Trophy In 2012, Sachin Tendulkar In 2013: Stat Gets More Glaring After NZ Loss

Published by Webster

The gruelling Test tour of South Africa had finished in early January of 2007 and towards the end of that month, India were playing West Indies in a bilateral ODI series as a tune-up to the 50-over World Cup set to be played in the Caribbean in a month and a half’s time. India played four ODIs on January 21, 24, 27 and 31 at Nagpur, Chennai, Cuttack and Vadodara. On February 1, four members of that team — Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar and Sourav Ganguly were all taking a flight from Vadodara to Mumbai. Reason? Mumbai was playing Ranji Trophy final against Bengal from February 2-6 and none of them wanted to miss the prestige battle. Tendulkar scored a hundred, Ganguly scored 90 and Zaheer took a bagful of wickets. Within 48 hours of that Ranji Trophy final, Tendulkar, Ganguly, and Zaheer had to play an ODI international series against Sri Lanka. “Workload management” was yet to become a talking point at that time. The Indian team that was blanked …

STAT OF THE DAY: Pat Cummins’ Australia matches highest number of ODI wins against Pakistan | Cricket News

As Pat Cummins led Australian ODI team completed a two-wicket over Mohammad Rizwan led Pakistan team in the first ODI of the three-match ODI series at MCG on Monday, the Australian ODI team matched the highest number of ODI wins against Pakistan. The defending world champions were playing in their first ODI match against Pakistan since last year’s ODI World Cup encounter at Bengaluru, which Australia won and Monday’s win saw the Australians matching West Indies’ record of most number of ODI wins against Pakistan with their 71st ODI win against Pakistan on Monday. West Indies had scored 71 wins out of 137 matches with India at the fifth spot in the list with 57 ODI wins against Pakistan in 135 matches. The three-match ODI series happens to be the 12th ODI series between the two countries with Australia winning seven series and Pakistan winning four series since 1982, when the Zaheer Abbas led Pakistan ODI team scored a 2-0 win over Kim Hughes led Australian team during Australia’s tour of Pakistan. Out of the …

STAT OF THE DAY: Rohit Sharma’s India whitewashed in a home Test series 0-3 for the first time ever in their history | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Rohit Sharma’s message after the series defeat was confirmed in Pune was that there was no need to overreact. He conceded his team had not played good cricket, but one series defeat in 12 years at home pointed to how high the bar has been set. Well, in Mumbai, things only got worse for the Indian men’s cricket team. This wasn’t just any series defeat. For the first time since India have been playing Test cricket at starting from December 1933, they were whitewashed at home in a series with three or more matches. India have played 294 Tests since at home, dating back to their first-ever appearance at the Bombay Gymkhana Ground and their 58th defeat came against New Zealand, who won 3-0. The only other instance of India being clean-swept at home in a series comprising at least two games was against South Africa. That was a two-match series that ended 2-0 in 2000). If one-off games are counted, England (1-0 in Golden Jubilee Test, 1979/80) and Pakistan (Asian Championship, 1999) have recorded …

STAT OF THE DAY: Smriti Mandhana goes past Mithali Raj to set a new Indian record | Cricket News

Published by Webster

With a well-constructed 100 off 122 balls in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, opener Smriti Mandhana created a new Indian record in women’s ODIs. She took over from Mithali Raj as the Indian batter with most centuries in this format, notching up her 8th three-figure score. Chasing 233, India beat New Zealand by 6 wickets and 34 balls to spare. Before this year, bizarrely enough Mandhana had not scored an international century in India. She has now corrected that anomaly and then some. In the home series against South Africa earlier this year, she had scored two centuries and a 90 in three matches. And in a series-winning performance on Tuesday against New Zealand, she scored her third century on home soil. Out of her eight centuries, three have come against South Africa while two each have been scored against West Indies and New Zealand. She also became the first Indian woman to score three ODI centuries while batting second. With two centuries in Test format, Mandhana also achieved the feat of being the first Indian woman …

Football stat confusion: Varying versions of even goals by Pele as no unanimity over competitiveness of various fixtures | Football News

Published by Webster

The wait for his thousandth goal annoyed Pele. The journey from 989th to 1000 consumed only 24 days and six games, but the hype around the landmark, monikered milésimo, suffocated the man they call the King. “I had long wished the thousandth goal was over and done. I had a sudden cold feeling that I was doomed to go for years without scoring another goal,” he confessed some years later. Every stadium he visited with his club Santos, a thousand balloons waited to soar as soon as he scored the goal; a lakh spectators waited breathlessly for the moment; Samba troupes were arranged to dance after the game; newspapers exhausted more newsprint on it than they did on the other global obsession of the decade – the Apollo 12 launch. Incidentally, the second batch of moonwalkers and Pele completed their mission on the same day, November 19, just six hours apart. He netted 279 more, wrapping his career with a staggering 1,279 goals in 1,363 games. But whether his full haul merits entry in the …

Virat Kohli Deserves Strike-Rate Criticism. This Stat Explains Exactly Why

Published by Webster

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) returned to winning ways but the manner of their victory doesn’t paint a promising picture. Rajat Patidar‘s fiery knock of 50 runs from 20 balls proved to be the difference-maker as the franchise reached 206/7 in 20 overs. RCB’s bowling unit, which has failed to fire in most occasions, put one of its finest displays, rattling the SRH top order early in the match. Though the win keeps RCB in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs, there remains a big issue for the franchise to address. It’s Virat Kohli‘s post-powerplay game. (IPL 2024 Points Table) Against Hyderabad, the talismanic batter started off well, scoring 32 runs from 18 ball inside the powerplay. But, right after the end of the 6th over, the pace with which Virat scored runs went drastically down. Kohli could only score 19 runs off 25 balls while failing to hit a single boundary. As bowlers like Jaydev Unadkat took pace off the ball, Virat found it incredibly hard to middle the ball and accumulate fast …
