The Hundred 2024 – Schedule, All to Know & Betting Opportunities

The Hundred 2024 cricket tournament is a relatively new, innovative cricket competition that began in England and Wales, organized by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The tournament aims to attract a new audience to the sport with a simplified and fast-paced format. Below is a comprehensive overview of The Hundred, covering its background, structure, format, teams, and the impact it has had on the cricketing landscape.

All About The Hundred

Background and Inception

The Hundred was conceived by the ECB as a way to reinvigorate cricket in England and Wales and attract a broader, younger audience to the sport. Traditional formats like Test cricket and even the shorter Twenty20 format were seen as potentially alienating to newcomers due to their complexity and duration. The ECB wanted a format that was easy to understand, exciting, and capable of fitting into a two-and-a-half-hour window, making it ideal for television and family viewing.

The concept was first proposed in 2018, and after extensive planning, the inaugural season was scheduled for 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the launch was postponed, and The Hundred finally debuted in July 2021.

Format

The Hundred is distinct from traditional cricket formats in several key ways:

100-Ball Innings: Each team faces 100 balls per innings, a departure from the traditional 6-ball overs seen in other formats.
Overs: An over consists of 10 balls. Bowlers can deliver either 5 or 10 consecutive balls, giving teams flexibility in their bowling strategies.
Powerplay: The first 25 balls of each innings constitute a powerplay, during which only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle.
Strategic Time-Out: Each bowling team is allowed a 2-minute strategic timeout to discuss tactics.
Simplified Scoring: The scoreboard prominently displays the number of balls remaining and runs needed, making it easier for new fans to follow the game.

Teams

The Hundred features eight city-based franchises, each with both a men’s and a women’s team. The teams are:

Birmingham Phoenix.
London Spirit.
Manchester Originals.
Northern Superchargers.
Oval Invincibles.
Southern Brave.
Trent Rockets.
Welsh Fire.

Structure

The tournament is structured to ensure a balance between competitiveness and entertainment. Each team plays eight matches in the group stage, four at home and four away. The top three teams at the end of the group stage advance to the knockout rounds. The team finishing on top proceeds to the final, while the second and third-placed teams will have to play an eliminator match.

Key Features and Innovations

Draft System: Players are selected through a draft system, similar to those used in other sports like the NBA and NFL. This ensures a balanced distribution of talent and adds an element of excitement to team selection.
Equal Pay for Men and Women: The Hundred has made significant strides in promoting gender equality in cricket. The prize money for the men’s and women’s tournaments is equal, and efforts have been made to ensure high visibility for the women’s matches.
Family-Friendly Environment: The Hundred is marketed as a family-friendly event, with matches scheduled at convenient times and venues offering various entertainment options beyond cricket.
Broadcast and Digital Innovation: Matches are broadcast on both free-to-air and pay-TV channels in the UK, with extensive digital coverage to engage a younger audience. Innovative broadcasting techniques, including player and coach interviews during matches, aim to bring fans closer to the action.

Reception and Impact

The Hundred has garnered mixed reactions from fans, players, and cricketing authorities:

Positive Reception:

New Audience: The Hundred has successfully attracted new fans to the sport, particularly families and young children who find the shorter format more engaging.
Women’s Cricket: The simultaneous running of men’s and women’s competitions has significantly raised the profile of women’s cricket, with increased media coverage and attendance.
Innovative Play: The unique format has introduced new tactical elements to the game, making matches unpredictable and exciting.

Criticism:

Traditionalists: Some cricket purists and traditionalists argue that The Hundred undermines the established formats of the game and could dilute the quality of domestic competitions like the County Championship and T20 Blast.
Player Workload: Concerns have been raised about the impact of The Hundred on players’ workloads, given the already packed international and domestic cricket calendars.
Financial Viability: The financial sustainability of The Hundred has been questioned, with significant investment required from the ECB and ongoing scrutiny of its commercial success.

The Hundred 2024 Schedule

The Hundred returned for its fourth season in late July, with Southern Brave aiming to defend the Women’s title and the Oval Invincibles striving to retain the Men’s championship.

Launched by the ECB four years ago, the 100-ball competition remains a topic of debate among cricket fans but has solidified its place in the domestic schedule, occupying a prime slot from 23rd July to 18th August.

What is The Hundred 2024 Draft?

Format of the Draft

Player Pool: A pool of players, including international stars and domestic talent, is available for selection. Players register for the draft, and their base prices are set.
Categories: Players are categorized based on their roles (batsman, bowler, all-rounder, wicketkeeper) and their base price.
Draft Order: The draft order is determined by a combination of factors, such as the previous season’s performance, with the lower-ranked teams typically getting earlier picks to maintain competitive balance.
Retention and Releases: Teams can retain a certain number of players from their previous season’s squad and must release others back into the draft pool.

Key Phases of the Draft

Retention Phase: Before the draft, each team can choose to retain a set number of players from their previous squad. This allows teams to maintain core players while refreshing their squad.
International Picks: Teams can select from the pool of international players. These are often high-profile picks that can have a significant impact on the team’s performance.
Domestic Picks: Teams then fill the remaining slots with domestic players, focusing on balancing their squad with local talent.

How many players featured in The Hundred 2024 draft?

Warner, Smriti Mandhana, Meg Lanning, Kane Williamson, and Beth Mooney were some of the players available to sign in The Hundred 2024 Draft.

Numerous England internationals and domestic cricket stars, such as Dawid Malan, Jason Roy, and Mark Wood, were also available for selection. As The Hundred entered its fourth year, around 890 players from 22 countries were included in both the Men’s and Women’s Draft.

Result of the draft

Nicholas Pooran along with five other Caribbean players like Andre Russell, Rovmen Powell, Kieron Pollard and Shimron Hetmyer were picked by the teams in the top bracket. Notably, Naseem Shah was selected by Birmingham Phoenix at the highest price bracket. Welsh Fire secured Tom Kohler-Cadmore in the top bracket and also signed Shaheen Afridi for GBP 100,000. Another Pakistan player, Imad Wasim, was picked by Trent Rockets for GBP 100,000. Jason Roy and Mark Wood went unpicked, as did Australia’s David Warner and Tim David.

India’s star players, including Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Deepti Sharma, were also not selected, along with Deandra Dottin and Suzie Bates. On the other hand, Smriti Mandhana (Brave) and Richa Ghosh (Phoenix) were the two Indian players selected in the draft, while Chamari Athapaththu from Sri Lanka was picked by the Oval Invincibles.

Amy Jones was the top pick in the women’s draft, chosen by Phoenix, and Meg Lanning is set to make her debut in The Hundred as Spirit’s first pick.

The tournament will be played in the round robin format in the league stages followed by the Eliminator and the Final. Whoever tops the standings will straight away cement their place in the finals. The teams finishing 2nd and 3rd will face each other in the Eliminator for a spot in the finals. Kennington Oval will host the Eliminator while the final is played at Lord’s.

The league phase of the Hundred 2024 constitutes 32 matches overall with most of them being day and night ones.

Oval Invincibles Squad

Sam Billings (c & wk), Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Marchant de Lange, Will Jacks, Tom Lammonby, Saqib Mahmood, Dawid Malan, Tawanda Muyeye, Nathan Sowter, Harrison Ward, Mark Watt

Overseas Players: Mohammad Amir, Donovan Ferreira, Spencer Johnson, Adam Zampa

Top Player to watch out for: Will Jacks

Will Jacks rose to stardom, continuously featuring for franchise leagues worldwide. The hard-hitting 25-year-old batter and occasional off-spinner Jacks is a prominent member of the Oval Invincibles Squad. He was part of England’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad in the Americas where he got to feature in only 3 games and didn’t produce noteworthy contributions.

He was instrumental in Oval Invincibles’ title win last year, accounting for 227 runs in 9 matches at an average of 25.22, and picked up 5 wickets at an economy of 6. With his fearless approach, he has all the qualities to become England’s future star in the shortest format.

Birmingham Phoenix Squad

Moeen Ali (c), Jacob Bethell, Aneurin Donald (wk), Ben Duckett, James Fuller, Tom Helm, Benny Howell, Louis Kimber, Liam Livingstone, Dan Mousley, Rishi Patel, Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes

Overseas Players: Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Sean Abbott

Top Player to watch out for: Jamie Smith

Jamie Smith, who is the non- first-choice wicketkeeper for his county Surrey, made his Test debut against West Indies earlier this month at Lord’s, which was James Anderson’s final Test of his career. Smith’s batting approach and wicket keeping skills caught the attention of England’s Test captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum.

Jamie Smith finished as the leading run-scorer for Birmingham Phoenix last season, scoring 191 runs in 7 matches which includes 2 half-centuries. He is part of England’s Test squad for the 3-matches Test series against West Indies and will miss the first 3 matches of the Hundred 2024.

London Spirit Squad

Daniel Bell Drummond, Ravi Bopara, Zak Crawley, Matthew Critchley, Liam Dawson, Richard Gleeson, Dan Lawrence (c), Michael Pepper (wk), Ollie Pope, Adam Rossington, Olly Stone

Overseas Players: Nathan Ellis, Shimron Hetmyer, Jimmy Neesham, Andre Russell

Top Player to watch out for: Jimmy Neesham

James Neesham brings an all-round skill set which is enough for him to find a place in the London Spirit squad. He was part of Oval Invincibles in the last edition, where he made 61 runs in 2 matches at a strike rate of 160.52. Neesham had a luck-lustre tournament in this year’s T20 Blast, scoring 135 runs in 5 matches at an average of 33.75 and picking up 3 wickets. He is a gifted all-rounder and a nightmare for the bowlers in the death overs and not to forget he has the wicket-taking talent.

Manchester Originals Squad

Tom Aspinwall, Sonny Baker, Jos Buttler ( c & wk), Scott Currie, Tom Hartley, Max Holden, Josh Hull, Matthew Hurst, Wayne Madsen, Jamie Overton, Phil Salt, Mitch Stanley, Paul Walter

Overseas Players: Usama Mir, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Sikandar Raza

Top Player to watch out for: Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler holds the key with the bat for Manchester Originals and will lead the side as well. He had a magical run last season, leading the run-scorers list with 391 runs in 10 matches which includes 3 half-centuries. He is a dangerous batter and once he starts scoring runs, he makes it difficult for the bowlers.

Northern Superchargers Squad

Harry Brook, Pat Brown, Graham Clark, Jordan Clark, Adam Hose, Tom Lawes, Callum Parkinson, Dillon Pennington, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Ollie Robinson, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley

Overseas Players: Ben Dwarshuis, Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Santner, Matthew Short

Top Player to watch out for: Harry Brook

Harry Brook will join the Northern Supercharges squad only after completing his National duties. He is a stylish cricketer and the next big thing for sure in England cricket. He ended the tournament last year, finishing 3rd in the leading run-scorers list with 238 runs in 7 innings and was the only batter to cross the 3-figure mark. He has a wide range of shots on both sides, making him a complete batter in this format.

Southern Brave Squad

James Vince (c), Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Danny Briggs, James Coles, Alex Davies (wk), Leus du Plooy, Laurie Evans, George Garton, Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, Craig Overton, Joe Weatherley

Overseas Players: Finn Allen, Akeal Hosein, Daniel Hughes, Kieron Pollard

Top Player to watch out for: Tymal Mills

Tymal Mills is one of the best-skilled bowlers in England. He was terrific in the last season where he bagged 16 wickets which is the most by a bowler. Mills mostly operates in the death overs and with his clever change-ups he keeps the batters guessing all the time. He will lead Southern Brave’s bowling line-up this season. He missed out on T20 World Cup selection despite making his return to International cricket against West Indies in December last year. Mills is the player to keep an eye on in the Hundred 2024.

Trent Rockets Squad

Lewis Gregory (c), Tom Alsop, Tom Banton, Sam Cook, Sam Hain, Alex Hales, Calvin Harrison, Adam Lyth, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Jordan Thompson, John Turner, Luke Wood

Overseas Players: Rashid Khan, Josh Little, Riley Meredith, Rovman Powell, Imad Wasim

Top Player to watch out for: Lewis Gregory

Lewis Gregory has heaps of experience across all the formats. He is calm and doesn’t easily get out nor concede runs. The 32-year-old all-rounder can float anywhere in the order and bowls in the crucial stages. In 7 matches in the last edition, he picked up 5 wickets at an economy of 8.71 and scored 72 runs in 5 innings at a strike rate of 153.19. You can put your money on Lewis Gregory in the Hundred 2024 in our cricket betting app.

Overseas Players: Chris Green, Matt Henry, Glenn Phillips, Haris Rauf

Top Player to watch out for: David Willey

David Willey is one of the underrated all-rounders in English cricket. He has now completely dedicated himself to the franchise leagues after announcing his retirement from International cricket after the ECB denied him a central contract. In 8 matches in the last season, he picked up 9 wickets at an economy of 8.04 and scored 78 runs at an average of 26. Willey is expected to shine bright for Welsh Fire in the Hundred 2024.

Gautam Gambhir, celebrated as the strategic mind behind Kolkata Knight Riders’ victorious IPL 2024 campaign, is poised to take on a new challenge as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. Announced by BCCI secretary Jay Shah, Gambhir takes the reins from Rahul Dravid following India’s triumph in the T20 World Cup 2024. With a distinguished playing career that includes pivotal roles in India’s World T20 2007 win and the 2011 ODI World Cup victory, Gambhir is no stranger to cricketing peaks. As he transitions from player to coach, this article will explore the highs and lows of Gambhir’s extensive career in cricket. His initial assignment will see him leading a team in transition during the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, marking the start of his tenure that promises to usher in a new era for Indian cricket.

Gautam Gambhir net worth is estimated to be around Rs 265 crore because of his international career, political stint and brand endorsements etc.

Before diving deep into Gambhir’s story, let’s pause and talk a bit about GUGOBET, India’s premier cricket betting app. As the excitement of the World Cup winds down, attention is now shifting to the upcoming India vs. Sri Lanka series and there’s a growing interest in cricket exchange betting. GUGOBET continues to offer a dynamic platform, ensuring that every game is more than just a spectacle—it’s an opportunity for engagement and excitement!

Gautam Gambhir Early Life

Gautam Gambhir, born into a Punjabi Hindu Khatri family in New Delhi, embarked on his cricket journey from a young age. His father, Deepak Gambhir, ran a textiles business, while his mother, Seema, was a homemaker. Gambhir was adopted by his maternal grandparents shortly after birth and was raised by them, forming a close bond that lasted throughout his childhood. He began playing cricket at 10, honing his skills under the guidance of coaches like Sanjay Bharadwaj at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Academy and later, Raju Tandon. Gambhir’s early cricketing promise led him to the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore in 2000, setting the stage for a prolific career. His schooling took place at Modern School in New Delhi, and throughout his formative years, his uncle Pawan Gulati was a significant mentor, providing support and advice before crucial matches.

Gautam Gambhir’s IPL Career

Gautam Gambhir’s IPL journey is marked by significant achievements and transitions. He started with the Delhi Daredevils in the inaugural IPL auction, acquired for a hefty US$725,000. His impressive performance in the first season, where he scored 534 runs in 14 matches, made him the second highest run-scorer and earned him a spot in the ESPNcricinfo IPL XI team for 2008. By 2010, Gambhir’s leadership qualities were recognized, and he was appointed captain of the Delhi Daredevils, leading the team with distinction and becoming the first player from the franchise to score over 1,000 IPL runs.

In 2011, Gambhir’s IPL career took a transformative turn when he was purchased by the Kolkata Knight Riders for a record $2.4 million, making him the highest-paid cricketer in IPL at the time. As captain, he guided KKR to their first IPL title in 2012, defeating the Chennai Super Kings in a memorable final. His leadership not only brought the team its inaugural championship but also a repeat performance in 2014, when they defeated Kings XI Punjab. Throughout his tenure with KKR, Gambhir was a prolific scorer and a tactical genius, leading by example and fostering a winning culture within the team.

In a full-circle moment, Gambhir returned to the Delhi Daredevils in 2018 but stepped down from the captaincy mid-season due to the team’s underperformance, showcasing his self-awareness and accountability. His playing career concluded with a return to his roots, but his influence on the league wasn’t over. In December 2021, Gambhir took on a new role as the mentor for the Lucknow Super Giants, and in November 2023, he returned to mentor Kolkata Knight Riders, the team with which he had his greatest IPL successes.

Mentorship and Coaching Career

Gautam Gambhir’s transition from a decorated player to a mentor and strategist in the IPL encapsulates his evolution within the cricketing sphere, marking a new era of leadership that has significantly impacted the teams he has been associated with.

2021: Transition to Mentorship –
In 2018, after a brief stint playing for the Delhi Daredevils, Gambhir shifted his focus to mentoring, beginning a new chapter in his cricketing career. This transition utilized his extensive experience and sharp cricket acumen, setting the stage for a role that goes beyond the boundary lines.

2022: Mentorship at Lucknow Super Giants –
Gambhir took on the role of mentor for the newly formed Lucknow Super Giants in 2021. His first season in 2022 was marked by strategic player acquisitions and fostering a competitive spirit within the team. LSG’s performance, led by notable names like KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock, was commendable, reaching the playoffs in their debut season—a testament to Gambhir’s effective mentorship.

2023: Building on Initial Success –
Continuing his role with LSG, Gambhir guided the team to another playoff appearance in 2023. The season was highlighted by strategic additions to the squad and managing young talents, proving his prowess in team building and tactical planning. Despite an exit in the Eliminator round, the team’s resilience and competitive nature reflected Gambhir’s growing influence.

2024: A Triumphant Return to Kolkata Knight Riders –
In 2024, Gambhir returned to Kolkata Knight Riders, the team with which he had previously achieved immense success as a player and captain. His return as a mentor was nothing short of spectacular, leading KKR to clinch their third IPL title. The season was marked by strong strategic decisions and motivational leadership, bringing out the best in players like Venkatesh Iyer and Mitchell Starc.

Appointment As India New Head Coach

The opportunity for Gambhir to step up as the head coach became apparent when VVS Laxman, another potential candidate for the role, decided to continue as the director of cricket at the National Cricket Academy and coach India on an interim basis during their series in Zimbabwe. Laxman’s decision to not pursue the head coach position left the path relatively clear for Gambhir.

Meanwhile, Rahul Dravid, who had taken over from Ravi Shastri post the T20 World Cup in November 2021, decided to conclude his tenure after the T20 World Cup 2024. Under Dravid’s guidance, India clinched the T20 World Cup, marking the team’s first ICC trophy since 2013. Dravid’s decision to step down to spend more time with his family coincided with Gambhir’s recent IPL triumph, creating a seamless timing for a leadership transition.

The process of selecting the head coach, which involves a rigorous review of applications and interviews by the BCCI’s Advisory Committee, favored Gambhir given his recent successes and alignment with the BCCI’s vision of fostering a winning mentality within the team. His strategic depth and leadership were evidently valued highly during this selection process.

The official announcement of Gambhir’s appointment as the head coach by BCCI secretary Jay Shah marked the beginning of what many hope will be a successful era for Indian cricket. His first assignment in this role will be leading the team on a white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, comprising three ODIs and three T20Is. This tour will serve as an initial test of his coaching strategies at the international level and will be closely watched as an indicator of his potential impact on team dynamics and overall success.

Challenges for India Head Coach Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir, stepping into the role of head coach following India’s T20 World Cup victory, confronts a myriad of challenges that extend beyond the triumphs of his illustrious playing career. As the new steward of Indian cricket, Gambhir’s tenure will be punctuated by high expectations to sustain and enhance India’s legacy in international cricket, especially in ICC tournaments where the pressure to win is immense.

Test Challenges:

In the Test arena, despite India’s recent success, including a commanding series win against England, the team has faced repeated setbacks in ICC World Test Championship finals. Looking ahead, Gambhir’s immediate challenge will be to navigate India through a rigorous schedule, including a daunting tour of Australia. Success in this series is crucial not just for maintaining India’s standing at the top of the WTC table but also for overcoming historical hurdles in Australian conditions. Gambhir will need to strategize effectively against a resilient Australian team led by Pat Cummins, ensuring India can turn its fortunes in the ultimate test of a five-match series Down Under.

ODI Dynamics:

In one-day internationals, the task is no less challenging. The scars of losing the 2023 World Cup final still linger, and with upcoming major tournaments like the Champions Trophy and another World Cup within his term, Gambhir must rejuvenate a squad transitioning from one era to another. This transition includes managing the leadership shift from Rohit Sharma while integrating new talents into a team environment conducive to winning titles, something India has struggled with since their last Champions Trophy win in 2013.

T20I Transition:

The T20 format, while currently basking in the glow of a World Cup win, presents its own set of challenges, primarily the void left by the retirements of key players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja. As Gambhir looks towards the next T20 World Cup, he faces the critical task of assembling and grooming a new cadre of players capable of defending the title. This involves not just finding replacements but also cultivating a new team dynamic and ensuring the next generation can handle the pressures of international cricket.

Overall, Gambhir’s roadmap as coach is fraught with challenges that will test his tactical acumen, leadership qualities, and ability to adapt to the evolving landscape of international cricket. His success will hinge on how effectively he can harness India’s rich cricketing talent and translate it into consistent performances on the world stage.

Has Gautam Gambhir retired from IPL?

Yes, Gautam Gambhir has retired from the Indian Premier League (IPL). He played his last IPL match in 2018 for the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). After stepping down as captain mid-season due to the team’s underperforming, he did not return as a player in subsequent seasons. Since retiring, Gambhir has transitioned into mentorship and coaching roles, influencing teams like Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants from behind the scenes.

How many times Gautam Gambhir won IPL?

Gautam Gambhir has won the Indian Premier League (IPL) twice as a captain. He led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their IPL titles in 2012 and 2014. Under his leadership, KKR emerged as one of the dominant teams in the IPL during his tenure.

Who is the new batting coach of India?

Vikram Rathour is the batting coach of the Indian cricket team. He was reappointed to this role in November 2021, and under his guidance, India achieved notable successes, including finishing as the runner-up in the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and winning the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Rathour has played a key role in shaping the batting strategies of the team, contributing to its impressive performances in these major tournaments.

Conclusion

Gautam Gambhir’s ascent to the role of head coach of the Indian cricket team marks a significant chapter in his illustrious cricketing career. With an impressive track record that includes key roles in India’s victories in the 2007 T20 and 2011 ODI World Cups, along with leading Kolkata Knight Riders to multiple IPL titles, Gambhir brings a wealth of experience and a strategic mindset to the position. His journey from a fierce competitor as a player to a tactical genius as a mentor underscores his deep understanding of the game and his leadership capabilities.

As Gambhir takes the helm, the expectations are high. He inherits a team rich in talent and recent success but also facing transitional challenges, especially in the T20 format with the retirement of key players. His ability to navigate these transitions, integrate new talents, and harness India’s robust cricketing infrastructure will be key to his success. The coming years are packed with high-stakes tournaments, and Gambhir’s strategies will play a pivotal role in aiming for consistency and top performances on the global stage.

The cricketing community watches eagerly as Gambhir steps into this new role, hopeful that his tenure will bring a resurgence in India’s performance in ICC tournaments.

Zimbabwe vs India 2024 T20 Series Winner Predictions

India tour of Zimbabwe 2024: Winner Predictions

The India tour of Zimbabwe 2024 5-match T20 series has turned out to be an exciting one, with 3 games being played and India leading the ongoing Zim vs Ind series 2-1. So, let us take an in-depth look at how the 3 matches went in the Zim vs Ind T20 series:

Zim vs Ind T20i Match 1:

India’s post-T20 World Cup celebrations were cut short when Zimbabwe defeated them in T20Is for the first time in 2024. After being reduced to 115 for 9, Zimbabwe’s bowlers came out strong, picking up wickets at regular intervals to dismiss India for 102 in 19.5 overs.

This was, of course, India’s second-string T20I lineup; the first-choice squad is taking a week off following the World Cup final in Bridgetown. Tendai Chatara and Sikandar Raza excelled with the bowling, taking three wickets each as India folded in a fast, much to the joy of a sold-out Harare Sports Club.

India made debuts for Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel. Gill did not hesitate to bowl first after winning the toss. Zimbabwe started brightly, but Ravi Bishnoi (4 for 13) and Washington Sundar (2 for 11) choreographed the collapse. At the midway point, it appeared to be an easy chase, but Zimbabwe’s bowlers had other plans.

India lost four wickets in five overs, with Abhishek falling for a four-ball duck, Ruturaj Gaikwad for seven, Parag for three balls, and Rinku Singh for only two. And when Sikandar Raza cleaned up Shubman Gill for 31, everyone in Harare believed. India needed 16 runs from the penultimate over with one wicket in hand, but they expected to get over with Washington still intact. Chatara, on the other hand, bowled a nerveless 20th over, surrendering only two runs off four deliveries and taking Washington off the fifth, sparking frenzied celebrations in Harare.

Zim vs Ind T20i Match 2:

India’s initial step into the next phase of T20 cricket started with a wobble last Saturday, but they recovered well enough to finish the weekend with a commanding victory led by their most modern player. Abhishek Sharma, who lit up IPL 2024 with his blazing, all-in heroics at the top of the order, gave international cricket its first glimpse of his potential on Sunday, blasting Zimbabwe with a 46-ball century, the joint third-fastest by an Indian batsman in Twenty20 Internationals.

That performance propelled India to 234 for 2 away from home, their second-highest T20I total, and left Zimbabwe required to pull off their most successful chase – having only ever taken down a target of more than 199.

Zimbabwe’s innings continued to struggle after the powerplay, with Ravi Bishnoi appearing especially unhittable – Johnathan Campbell swept and reverse-sweeping in growing despair, failed to put bat to five consecutive balls from him and bottom-edged the sixth ball into his body.

Wessly Madhevere batted from the start of the pursuit until the 17th over, scoring 43 off 39 balls. Zimbabwe were eventually dismissed for 134 with eight balls remaining, with Mukesh and Avesh both taking three wickets and Bishnoi concluding with two for 11 from four overs.

They didn’t come close, as India’s considerably better bowling attack took full advantage of a two-paced pitch while protecting a well-above-par score. The winning margin of exactly 100 runs properly summarized the contest.

Zim vs Ind T20i Match 3:

Despite Avesh Khan allowing 18 runs in the penultimate over, India achieved a critical win, taking the five-match series 2-1. Zimbabwe fell 23 runs short of the 183-run target, finishing on 159 for 6.

India demonstrated excellent technique with both bat and ball. Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad helped India reach 182, while Washington Sundar’s three wickets for 15 runs dominated the bowling attack. Avesh Khan provided two wickets.

Zimbabwe battled early on, scoring 60 for 5 in the first 10 overs. However, a 77-run sixth-wicket stand between Dion Myers and Clive Madande helped them get back into the game. Myers achieved his first T20I fifty, going unbeaten on 65 from 49 balls. Zimbabwe’s misfields and missed catches boosted India’s impressive score.

Zimbabwe has to approach the remainder of the series carefully. They must concentrate on mastering the fundamentals; lost catches increased their losing margin in the second T20I. Furthermore, they must be realistic about their goals, realizing that younger players – picked over seasoned veterans like Sean Williams and Craig Ervine for this series – need time to develop.

Has Zimbabwe ever won against India?

India and Zimbabwe have played 11 T20 matches. Of these 11 games, India has won eight, while Zimbabwe has won three. Also, most recently, during the India tour of Zimbabwe 2024 5-match T20i series, Zim won their first game against India.

Zimbabwe vs India 4th T20i Match Prediction:

India will start as favourites in the fourth T20I against Zimbabwe on Saturday in Harare. India’s batsmen are world-class and a little too powerful for Zimbabwe. This is the primary difference between the two units. India’s bowlers are also getting plenty of support from the wicket. Look out for Yashasvi Jaiswal in the encounter. Based on the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, India has an 80% chance of winning the match and thus the series.

Venue and Pitch report:

The Harare Sports Club played host to 44 T20I matches, with the team that batted first winning 26 of them. However, in 24 matches, the captain who won the toss decided to chase. The chance of winning the game after winning the toss is 54.55%. The average first-inning score is 158, while the average second-inning score is 139. The highest overall score at the venue is India’s 234/2 versus Zimbabwe in the second T20I of the current series, while the lowest team total is Zimbabwe’s 90 against Afghanistan in 2022.

Zimbabwe vs India Key Players:

1 Rinku Singh: Rinku Singh is India’s latest finisher in T20 cricket. He has had an excellent start to his T20I career, scoring 405 runs in 14 innings at an impressive strike rate of 178.41. Rinku possesses a unique power to clear the ropes at command. Although Rinku has not got a lot to do in this series, he will be relishing the opportunity to showcase his talents in the upcoming match at the weekend.

2 Blessing Muzarabani: Blessing Muzarabani gave only 25 runs in his four overs in the third T20I, taking both the wickets of Gill and Gaikwad. He has been extremely restrictive throughout the series and will be looking to make a mark in the upcoming Zim vs Ind matchup.

Zimbabwe vs India series Winner Prediction:

We at GUGOBET predict India to win this ongoing 5-match series against Zimbabwe over the weekend, claiming wins in both, the 4th as well as the 5th T20i matches. Despite losing the first game, Ind has bounced back strongly and has better players compared to Zimbabwe. Also, despite this being India’s second-string lineup for the T20is, most of their players have immense experience in this particular format of the game. Hence, Team India is the clear favourite for this series.

Indian Cricket Legends Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli Retire From T20Is

It is not every day that a nation of approximately 1.3 billion people who have not seen their cricket team win an ICC trophy in the past 11 years think that their recent T20I World Cup victory is bittersweet. But when the heart and soul of the team announced their retirement from the format on the same day, the sweet taste of victory faded.

This is exactly what happened with the Indian cricket team and their die-hard fans, as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced that the T20 World Cup Final 2024 against South Africa was their last match in the Indian jersey in T20 Internationals.

Even though both the players announced it normally and it did not seem to be an obvious decision for them, everyone in the cricket fraternity was shell-shocked because of this decision, as no one saw it coming. Virat Kohli even said it was an open secret, but it did not seem like one to his fans or those who admire the sport.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are the top two run scorers in the history of T20I cricket, and that pretty much sums up what they have done over the years in the format. At least they have received the perfect farewell and bid adieu to the T20Is with a World Cup victory.

Although, if you ask us, these legends should never retire and just keep playing cricket. But we all have to believe that the inevitable has happened, and we should now respect and appreciate these legends of the game for what they have done for Indian cricket. It is time we take a look back at their respective journeys in the T20I format and celebrate these absolute legends of the sport.

Rohit Sharma

There are numerous records that Rohit Sharma has broken in the T20I format, and we will talk about all of them, including Rohit Sharma’s stats in the format, but we will first take a glance at what Rohit Sharma meant for Indian cricket and how his retirement will affect the team.

For Indian cricket, Rohit was the fuel that was the utmost priority to run the bus of the Indian cricket team. He made his debut in 2007 and was a part of the team that lifted the T20 World Cup in the same year. He showed glimpses of what was to come in the coming years in 2007 and took it to unbelievable heights.

The only Indian player to feature in all the editions of the T20 World Cup so far has always stood out from the crowd because of his exquisite timing. Everyone who has seen him closely says that while batting, Rohit’s timing is so excellent that he makes everyone feel like he has a 1-second extra. The batter has been a perfect example of leading from the front, as what he expected his team to do in this tournament, he did himself, and the others followed.

After starting his T20I career as a middle-order batter, Rohit transformed himself into an opening batter and brought a change to Indian cricket as he started batting explosively at the top. His glorious pull shot is a sight to behold, and the way he attacks off-spinners coming down the track is something only he can do.

Apart from putting a full stop to his T20I career being the highest run-scorer in the format (4231 runs), Rohit has scored five centuries in T20I cricket, which is the joint-most number by any player in history. He has a strike rate of almost 140 and an average of 32.05. The Indian captain has also scored the most sixes by any player in the T20Is (205).

Rohit Sharma’s highest score in T20Is is 121*, which he scored as an opening batter. More than just putting his name in history and the record books, he has had a huge impact on transforming how India plays cricket in T20Is and has been an outstanding captain. Rohit Sharma’s retirement implies that India will miss seeing him go berserk from the very first ball in T20I cricket and take the bowlers to the cleaners with his huge sixes.

How many ICC trophies has Rohit Sharma won?

Rohit Sharma has won three ICC trophies in his cricket career thus far. The first ICC trophy he won was the 2007 T20 World Cup; the second was the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy; and the third was the ICC T20I World Cup 2024, which he won as a captain. The trophy cabinet of Rohit Sharma looks glorious, and he would want to add more trophies to it before he says the final goodbye.

Virat Kohli

Even if we write something here, it would not be enough to justify what this man has done for Indian cricket day in and day out. The elite mindset of Virat Kohli and the attitude where he believes he can chase any target with the willow in his hand are the two things that have ensured that Indian cricket stays at the top in this format and also wins an ICC trophy.

In his final T20I innings, Kohli showed everyone what India would miss as it was his innings that helped India win that final against the Proteas. Kohli is not believed to have an attacking style of batting which is more suited for the shortest format, but over the years, he has shown that a player like Virat Kohli can do anything in any format. In the era of fours and sixes, Kohli has made the cricket fraternity realise the importance of singles and doubles in the 20-over format.

The list of match-winning innings played by Kohli where he single-handedly won India the match is huge. Although some of these innings were just out of this world such as Mirpur 2014 against South Africa, Mohali 2016 versus Australia, Melbourne 2022 against Pakistan, and many others. Kohli has not only earned fame and money from his T20I career but also the respect and faith of 1.3 billion Indians and a lot more people across the world. Kohli has an aura in this generation where he has dominated cricket for over a decade.

Just like an F1 car is always under development and constant work is going on the car to make it run faster, Virat Kohli works on his body during the off time so that he can be at the top of his game when the situation comes. Kohli has given his services to Indian cricket with 120% dedication and has finally won an ICC trophy after a very long time which is a result of his commitment to the blue jersey and tri-colour flag.

Talking about Virat Kohli’s stats in the format, he has bid adieu to T20 Internationals as the second-highest run-scorer in history with 4188 runs. Virat Kohli’s highest score in T20Is is 122* which he made against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. Kohli has ended his career in this format with an impeccable average of 48 and a strike rate of 137.

After breaking numerous records and being the best in the business for over a decade, the run machine and the king of cricket have finally called it a day in the shortest format of the game. Now the focus will shift to winning that red ball trophy and completing that already decorated trophy cabinet.

How many ICC trophies has Virat Kohli won?

The number of ICC trophies won by Virat Kohli is also three in his cricket career to date. Kohli is the most decorated cricketer of all time, as he has won all the white-ball trophies. He was a part of the Indian team that won the 2011 ODI World Cup, beating Sri Lanka in the final, then won the ICC ODI Champions Trophy in 2013, and has now also won the T20 World Cup 2024. King Kohli has just one red-ball trophy to win before he completes cricket.

During an ongoing cricket match in 2012, when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were batting together, Sunil Gavaskar announced on air that these two players who are on your screen are going to be the face of Indian cricket for the coming years, and that is exactly what these two did. They not only represented Indian cricket but gave everything for the nation, saved them from a lot of difficult situations in infinite times, and finally got what they deserved.

Nonetheless, both of these players will continue to play a lot of cricket for India in Tests and ODIs, and we will continue to see them smashing the bowlers all over the ground and winning many more trophies for the team.

How did India win the T20 World Cup 2024?

Everything comes for those who wait, and this statement holds perfectly for Team India at the moment who made history on the Caribbean soil by lifting the T20 World Cup 2024 beating South Africa by a narrow 7-run margin in the summit clash at iconic Kensington Oval in Bridgetown.

This victory means a lot to the team who have been consistently failing to win the titles over the last decade despite coming close. They reached the finals four times and were knocked out in the semi-finals thrice across all formats after their 2013 Champions Trophy title win in England under MS Dhoni.

How did India win the T20 World Cup 2024?

Following their humiliating 10-wicket loss to England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022, the BCCI strictly adhered to the policy of developing a fresh team for the T20 World Cup 2024 and didn’t consider seniors Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for bilateral T20I series for more than one year.

The selectors weren’t happy with Hardik Pandya’s captaincy who led the team in a few series and the decision to bring back Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma was made following the ICC Men’s World Cup final loss to Australia last year. It created wonders as the duo was allowed to play in the bilateral T20Is against Afghanistan which India won 3-0.

The team started to build thereafter despite not playing T20Is. The selection for the T20 World Cup 2024 was made purely on the performances of IPL 2024 and the final 15-member squad was announced in which Rohit Sharma was made the skipper with Hardik Pandya as his deputy. There were few surprise inclusions as Axar Patel and Shivam Dube were preferred over KL Rahul and Rinku Singh. The strategy behind that was to include more all-rounders in the squad.

Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj.

Men in Blue began their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign in the unknown conditions of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York where they featured the first 3 games in the Group stages. They beat Ireland, arch-rivals Pakistan, and co-hosts USA in low-scoring contests. The drop-in surface tested the skill set of the batters whereas the bowlers haven’t had any complaints that had variable bounce. Ace batter Virat Kohli failed utterly managing just 5 runs in 3 matches however the team was able to impress in all areas and eventually topped the Group A standings with 7 points.

They landed in the Caribbean for Super Eights straight away without having exposure to the conditions but that didn’t stop the world-class team from playing to their potential. They changed their approach from the Super 8 and started to put more pressure on the opposition by putting runs on the board first. This mentality yielded better results as they thumped Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia way too convincingly.

With 6 points under the belt, they topped the Super Eight Group 1 standings. Irrespective of their finish they would have anyway played their semi-final at Guyana and it was lucky that they edged past defending champions England by 68 runs.

Rohit Sharma and his company entered the finals of the T20 World Cup for the first time after 10 years and held their heads high scripting a thrilling 7-run win over South Africa to be crowned as T20 champions for the second time. The odds were completely against them when a run-a-ball 30 runs was required with established batters Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller still at the crease.

Jasprit Bumrah who bowled the 16th over gave away only 4 runs that’s when the momentum shifted back towards India. Hardik Pandya bagged the crucial wicket of Heinrich Klaasen in the first ball of the 17th over triggering India’s chances of winning the title.

Ultimately he defended 16 runs successfully in the final over to put smiles on the faces of billions of Indians across the globe. Virat Kohli who had a dismal tournament saved his best for the last and scored a match-winning 76 runs to be named as the Player of the final. He finished his T20I career as T20 World Cup 2024 winner.

There were a lot of talks when the team got picked for the marquee event but skipper Rohit Sharma particularly wanted more spinners and all-rounders in the side and his decision was on point as India succeeded by fielding 4 all-rounders Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja throughout the tournament.

They made the only change in the entire competition by bringing in Kuldeep Yadav in place of Mohammed Siraj from the Super 8s. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Yuzvendra Chahal didn’t get a chance. Skipper Rohit Sharma believes in the concept of batting first in high-profile tournaments like this as India won 6 out of 8 matches while defending. They became the only team in the T20 World Cup history to win the title unbeaten.

Top Performers

Rohit Sharma:

Nobody in the team is ever as desperate as Rohit Sharma to win the title. He was particularly re-appointed as the skipper of India in the shortest format and he did what he was asked for. He finished as the leading run-scorer for India and second in the tournament with a total tally of 257 runs in 8 matches at an average of 36.71.

He also holds the second-highest individual score of 92 in the competition. He rated the T20 World Cup win in the Caribbean as the greatest achievement of his career and bid adieu to the T20Is as the T20 World Cup 2024 winner.

Jasprit Bumrah:

The level of skill Jasprit Bumrah brings to the Indian bowling unit is quite extraordinary and no other bowler in the world can match his standards. His ability to deliver time and time again makes him one of the greatest bowlers of the generation. He bowled a game-changing spell in the finals against South Africa returning with the figures of 2 for 18 in his 4 overs. With 15 wickets in his armoury, he has been adjudged the Player of the Tournament.

India Tour of Zimbabwe 2024 Squad Analysis

Zimbabwe will host the T20 champions India in the 5-match bilateral series starting from July 6th and will be played till July 14th. All the matches will be played at Harare Sports Club, Harare.

India Squad:

Shubman Gill (c), Abhishek Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan, Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Mukesh Kumar, Riyan Parag, Ravi Bishnoi, Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar

Follow our cricket betting app for more content related to the Zimbabwe vs India bilateral T20I series.

Since T20 is a fast-going game, the essence of fresh legs and talent in the side are a must at the highest level, and with the help of experience, any team can beat anyone on their day. The current Indian team requires a lot of young talent to build it for the future with already seniors Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra having bid farewell to the T20Is.

With the bilateral away T20I series Zimbabwe vs India scheduled in July’s first half, the selectors thought it was the best time to experiment and even-handed more responsibilities on Shubman Gill who will be making his T20I captaincy debut.

Keeping the workload in mind of the key players who had a hectic year, the management has decided to send a second-string side for the Zimbabwe bilateral T20I series and appointed dynamic young batter Shubman Gill as the skipper. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube who were part of the T20 World Cup squad that won the title in the Caribbean were able to secure a place in the 15-member team.

It’s the first National call-up for Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, and Tushar Deshpande who have earned their spot following their impressive performances in the Indian Premier League. Dhruv Jurel who had already made his debut for India in the whites earlier this year against England got his maiden call-up in tri colours. He will be considered as a backup wicketkeeper batter for Sanju Samson.

The batting department looks splendid, especially at the top with Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad who both failed to cut into the final 15 of the T20 World Cup squad. Yashasvi Jaiswal is the other front-runner to open the innings in the series, he didn’t get a game when India lifted the title for the 2nd time in the Caribbean and needs to alter his position if needed. Abhishek Sharma who scored 484 runs for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL this year will find it difficult to seek into the top 3.

Riyan Parag who batted entirely at the No.4 position for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024 will be relieved to find a place in the Indian squad for the first time and his chances of playing in the starting eleven from game one are high. He had a dream run in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where he finished as the top run-getter with a tally of 510 runs in 10 matches and extended his form to IPL where he emerged as the 3rd leading run-scorer, amassing 573 runs in 14 innings.

Rinku Singh who was unfortunate to miss out on the final 15 of the Indian T20 World Cup squad will bat in the middle order and serve as a finisher. Nitish Kumar Reddy was named in the initial squad and will be unlucky to miss out on the tour due to injury and he will be replaced by all-rounder Shivam Dube. Washington Sundar is set for another comeback, his services weren’t properly utilized by Sunrisers Hyderabad due to the impact player rule, and he needs to capitalize on the opportunity to cement his place in the longer run.

Ravi Bishnoi is the only genuine tweaker in the mix and he will be accompanied by finger spinner Washington Sundar.

It’s a challenging job for Shubman Gill to work with a fresh set of fast bowlers including the likes of Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, and uncapped Tushar Deshpande. Khaleel Ahmed is making a comeback into the National setup after November 2019, he has 13 wickets in 14 T20Is.

It’s an ideal time for Avesh Khan to make a name for himself who has been given chances here and there over the last year. He was outstanding for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024, picking up 19 wickets in 15 innings. The 27-year-old right-arm pacer from Madhya Pradesh is the most experienced bowler in the current Indian squad having played 20 T20Is.

Mukesh Kumar who made his debut last year in all forms of the game now has a combined 24 wickets. He may not be the quickest but his experience will hold the key for Men in Blue.

With a rich of talent, India is expected to come out on top without losing a game in the forthcoming Zim vs ind bilateral T20I series.

Player to watch out for in ZIM vs IND

Shubman Gill:

The stage is set for the next big thing in Indian cricket, Shubman Gill who has been rated highly for his batting skills. From being part of the U-19 World Cup winning squad in 2018 to representing the country in the World Cup, he has come a long way. He is one of the only five Indian players to score a century in all forms of the game.

He has been the regular for India in ODIs and Tests but is still figuring out ways to cement a place in the regular T20I squad. He holds a decent record in the shortest format, scoring 335 runs in 14 matches at an average of 25.76 at a blistering strike rate of 147.57.

You can put your money on him while betting on our cricket betting app.

Zimbabwe Squad:

Sikandar Raza (c), Faraz Akram, Brian Bennett, Johnathan Campbell, Tendai Chatara, Luke Jongwe, Innocent Kaia, Clive Madande (wk), Wessly Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Brandon Mavuta, Blessing Muzarabani, Dion Myers, Antum Naqvi, Richard Ngarava, Milton Shumba

The 38-year-old Sikandar Raza will lead the young Zimbabwe squad for the upcoming 5-matches T20I series against India. Belgium-born, Antum Naqvi has received his maiden T20I call-up, however, his inclusion into the Zimbabwe National side is subject to confirmation of his citizenship status.

The selectors have taken a tough decision in dropping Ryan Burl, Joylord Gumbie, and Ainsley Ndlovu. All-rounders Brandon Mavuta and Wessly Madhevere completed their suspension for drug use hence included in the squad. Premier pacer Tendai Chatara has earned a recall after being dropped for the bilateral series against Ireland and Bangladesh.

Due to their commitments elsewhere experienced cricketers Craig Ervine and Sean Williams aren’t considered for selection.

Who is in the squad of India vs Zimbabwe Team India?

The selection panel led by former India cricketer Ajit Agarkar has named a 15-member squad for India tour of Zimbabwe 2024.

India’s Glory Against South Africa

India clinched their second T20 World Cup title on June 29, 2024, in a tense final against South Africa at Bridgetown.

His partnerships with Axar Patel (47 off 31) and Shivam Dube (22 off 13) were crucial in accelerating India’s scoring during the middle overs. Jasprit Bumrah’s exceptional bowling spell of 2 for 18 and Arshdeep Singh economical 2 for 20 restricted South Africa to 169 for 8, sealing India’s victory by seven runs.

South Africa’s pursuit started strong with Heinrich Klaasen’s aggressive 52, threatening to overhaul India’s total. However, Bumrah’s crucial overs in the death, including a decisive spell that slowed South Africa’s momentum, proved pivotal. Hardik Pandya’s crucial wickets and a spectacular boundary catch by Suryakumar Yadav off Kagiso Rabada sealed the victory for India. Despite Klaasen’s explosive batting, South Africa faltered in the closing overs, unable to overcome India’s strategic bowling changes, and fell short in their chase.

India’s triumph in the final was a culmination of strategic brilliance and standout performances, securing their second T20 World Cup 2024 title after a 13-year wait. Bumrah’s stellar performance throughout the tournament, earning him the Player of the Tournament award, underscored India’s dominance and resilience as the T20 World Cup 2024 winner.

Rashid Khan, renowned for his spin bowling mastery, exhibited his class yet again in the World Cup, claiming 14 pivotal wickets with an economical rate of 6.17.

Farooqi, matching India’s Arshdeep Singh with 17 wickets each, showcased his knack for early breakthroughs and effective containment of runs.

Key Moments of the Tournament

USA Stuns Pakistan in Super Over Drama

In a dramatic turn of events, the USA pulled off a remarkable upset against Pakistan during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Co-hosting the tournament, the USA faced Pakistan in a tense encounter that ended in a Super Over. Pakistan, the runners-up from the previous edition, seemed poised for victory until Mohammad Amir’s erratic bowling allowed USA’s Aaron Jones and Harmeet Singh to secure a tie, forcing the match into a Super Over.

The Super Over saw both teams trading boundaries, but Pakistan’s struggle with extras—through wides and overthrows—proved costly in the T20 World Cup 2024 highlights. Despite a valiant effort, Pakistan fell short as the USA clinched the Super Over with a score of 18 to 13, securing a memorable victory.

Lockie Ferguson’s Record-breaking Spell

Lockie Ferguson delivered a historic spell for New Zealand during their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Papua New Guinea in Trinidad.

Patrick Cummins’ Hat-trick Heroics

His first feat came against Bangladesh in Antigua on June 21, where he dismissed Mahmudullah and Mahedi Hasan in the 18th over and completed the hat-trick by removing Towhid Hridoy in the 20th over. Cummins, who was surprised by the announcement on the big screen, played a pivotal role in restricting Bangladesh to 140 runs. Despite his efforts, Australia secured a 28-run victory via the DLS method in a rain-affected match, with David Warner contributing 53 runs.

Cummins continued his exceptional form in the Super Eights match against Afghanistan in Kingston, St Vincent, where he achieved back-to-back hat-tricks, a historic achievement highlighted in the T20 World Cup 2024 highlights. He dismissed Rashid Khan off the last delivery of the 18th over and returned in the 20th over to claim the wickets of Karim Janat and Gulbadin Naib.

Despite initial struggles against Australia’s bowling, their disciplined batting set the stage for Afghanistan to post a competitive total of 148 for 6. Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc’s efforts to contain Afghanistan’s innings proved futile, with Australia’s fielding lapses further aiding Afghanistan’s cause.

Australia, chasing 149 for victory, faltered early against Afghanistan’s seamers, led by Gulbadin Naib’s career-best T20I bowling figures of 4 for 20. Glenn Maxwell’s valiant 59 off 41 balls provided some hope, but his dismissal by Naib turned the tide decisively in Afghanistan’s favor. Despite Maxwell’s efforts, Australia fell short at 127 all out, unable to handle Afghanistan’s varied bowling attack on a challenging pitch in St Vincent.
