Their turf, their conditions: Litchfield, Voll reiterate Australia’s ODI dominance as India’s timid batting proves their undoing | Cricket News

5 min readNew DelhiFeb 27, 2026 09:35 PM IST Soon-to-be former Australia captain Alyssa Healy, who didn’t play the T20Is and is retiring at the end of the one-off Test next week, struck a defiant tone when she spoke to the media ahead of the ODI leg against India. She wanted Australia to throw the next punch, and her words have come true in just a few days as they have trounced Harmanpreet Kaur’s side in back-to-back ODIs, winning the second match on Friday in Hobart even more convincingly than they had in the first match. India’s decision to bat first at Allan Border Field had backfired as Australia got to enjoy the best bowling conditions. But when Harmanpreet won the toss and repeated the same at Bellerive Oval, it was fairly justified because the pitch appeared perfect for India to pile on a big score and put some scoreboard pressure on Australia later. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal were tasked with opening the batting again, and the duo – who average more than 75 …

“He Was A Bit Timid…”: Shreyas Iyer’s Big Revelation About Priyansh Arya After Stunning IPL Ton

Published by Webster

Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer on Tuesday said he wants his batters to play with an aggressive, fearless, and free-flowing mindset, something young opener Priyansh Arya showcased during his sensational maiden IPL century against Chennai Super Kings. Arya rode on his luck and power-hitting to slam 103 off 42 balls — the fifth fastest century in IPL history as PBKS posted 219/6 despite half their side returning to the dugout in the first eight overs. “Absolutely. This is going to be the template, irrespective of the ground. We have variety in the batting line-up. Great hitters, great timers, scintillating to watch Priyansh bat from the outside. “When I had a chat with him in the last game, he was a bit timid in his decision-making against Jofra (Archer). Tonight, he was backing his instincts,” Iyer said at the post-match presentation. “It was free-flowing and that is the mindset I want in everyone. Today, he kept on going, he was fearless and it was basically one of the top knocks I have seen in …

IND vs PAK | Champions Trophy: Clinical India show timid Pakistan why they are stuck in a different era | Cricket News

Published by Webster

How much did Pakistan miss a batsman of Virat Kohli’s caliber in the middle-order? How much did they wish they had openers like Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill who showed the urgency to kill the game in the first powerplay? Where are they going to unearth spinners who could collectively choke the opposition in the middle overs? Will their fast-bowling trio, often compared to those in the 90s, ever show there is more to them than numbers that pop on speed gun? When will they realise that unless their fitness parameters improve, they will continue to remain an ordinary fielding outfit that drops catches that could win them matches? If Pakistan do some soul searching, which they are likely to do once the confirmation arrives with regards to the elimination from the Champions Trophy, they need not look beyond India. Since winning the Champions Trophy final against India at the Oval in 2017, this was their sixth straight defeat in completed matches against their arch-rivals. At least till the rivalry retains its hype, it is …

“How Much Virat Kohli Will Do Alone?” Sunil Gavaskar Rips Into RCB Batters After Timid Loss To KKR In IPL

Published by Webster

Virat Kohli scored yet another half-century for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2024, but his team ended on  the losing side against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday. RCB now have two losses in three games and the start to the IPL 2024 has been timid to say the least. RCB are one of the four sides which are yet to win the IPL. Every year, RCB fans hope for a different story to happen. But what occurs, is the complete opposite. Despite being one of the most star-studded sides, RCB have under-achieved. On Friday, Kohli top-scored with an unbeaten 83 of 59 deliveries. None of the other RCB batters could even touch 35. RCB scored 182/6 in 20 overs but KKR reached the target in just 16.5 overs. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaksar blasted the RCB batters after the loss. “You tell me how much Kohli will do alone – someone should accompany him, If someone had supported him today, he would definitely have scored 120 instead of 83, so this is …

Krishna Shroff: I used to be timid and shy, I had an immense shift in my mindset

Published by Webster

Entrepreneur and social media influencer Krishna Shroff, got into a conversation with mid-day.com about her passion for fitness.  What inspired you to start MMA Matrix? MMA Matrix began as a passion project. I fell in love with the sport of MMA and have closely followed it for over 10 years now. MMA, especially, has also allowed my brother (Tiger Shroff) to create a niche for himself  that set him apart from his competitors in a very difficult industry to break into. MMA Matrix was sort of our way of also giving back to the sport for everything it’s given us, including life changing qualities such as determination, confidence, and focus like never before. I’ve been able to connect to numerous people all around the world through my fitness journey as well because it took a lot of hard work and discipline to achieve my fitness goals and to be where I currently stand; therefore, MMA Matrix was a good way to help motivate and inspire the youth to make healthy lifestyle changes for themselves.
