Ireland, Scotland, and England have been named as co-hosts of the 2030 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The event will be the first time since 1999 that Ireland and Scotland have hosted games in a major cricket event, having staged three World Cup fixtures between them that year. The announcement came from the International Cricket Council (ICC) as it released details of the hosts of every men’s white-ball tournament from 2024-2031. Details of the schedule and host venues for the 2030 event are still to be finalized.

Cricket Scotland chair Tony Brian, whose team reached the Super 12 stage of this year’s T20 World Cup, said: “It will be great for the Scottish cricket public to be able to see the stars of world cricket in person as well for Scotland to show off its history and beauty to the cricket lovers from around the world who will flock to see the finals. “The event will bring significant economic benefit to the country.” Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom said: “While we have hosted several ICC qualifier tournaments in the past and of course a 1999 World Cup fixture in Clontarf, this will be the first time multiple matches in a major world cricket event will feature in Ireland.

“We appreciate that there are still a number of details to clarify around hosting arrangements, not just for the co-hosts but also to enable our government partners to move beyond in-principle support, but today’s announcement gives a greenlight for those discussions to begin in earnest.” It will be the first time the Cricket World Cup has been held in Scotland since the 1999 tournament when two matches were played at The Grange in Edinburgh. The announcement comes after Scotland’s recent success at the Men’s T20 World Cup in Oman, with Cricket Scotland hoping that co-hosting the tournament will be the next step towards growing the game in Scotland and becoming an established force in the world cricket.

Cricket Scotland chair Tony Brian said: “Cricket Scotland is delighted, with the England & Wales Cricket Board and Cricket Ireland, to be awarded co-hosting rights by the International Cricket Council to the 2030 Men’s T20 World Cup Final. This is the first global cricket finals to be held partly in Scotland. “It will be great for the Scottish cricket public to be able to see the stars of world cricket in person, as well for Scotland to show off its history and beauty to the cricket lovers from around the world who will flock to see the finals. The event will bring significant economic benefits to the country.

“We look forward to continuing our very productive partnership with the other co-hosts and the ICC to deliver a truly memorable global tournament in 2030.” Ireland has been named as a co-host of the 2030 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup alongside England and Scotland. The English governing body, the ECB also represents the game in Wales, leaving open the possibility of tournament fixtures taking place in Cardiff. It remains to be seen how many games will take place in Ireland, or indeed at what venues. Clontarf Cricket Club hosted a 1999 World Cup clash between West Indies and Bangladesh, while Malahide, Bready, and Stormont have all seen international fixtures last summer.

The news means that Ireland will not have to go through a qualifying process for the 2030 tournament. Ireland secured passage to the most recent iteration of the T20 World Cup through a qualifying tournament in 2019. Warren Deutrom, chief executive of Cricket Ireland, acknowledged that details still needed to be worked out, but nonetheless labeled Tuesday’s announcement as an exciting one for Irish cricket: “This is great news for Irish cricket fans who will be able to see some of the world’s best cricketers playing in the most dynamic format of the game on Irish shores.”

The ICC announced that the United States would host the 2024 event alongside the West Indies The 2026 event will be staged in India and Sri Lanka, while Australia and New Zealand will share hosting duties in 2028. Australia was already confirmed as the host for next year’s T20 World Cup. Namibia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa will stage the Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2027 before India and Bangladesh stage the event four years later. India was already confirmed as the sole 2023 host. The Men’s Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan in 2025 and India four years later. ICC chair Greg Barclay declared that having 14 members hosting eight events was a reflection of the “truly global nature of our sport”.

Australia captain Aaron Finch is relishing another one of his side’s “great battles” against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday as both nations attempt to lift the T20 World Cup for the first time. While both sides are accustomed to making the knockout stages of global events, few expected the final to be played between Antipodean rivals Australia and New Zealand, sixth and fourth respectively in the format’s world rankings. This is a rematch of the 2015 50-over World Cup final, which Australia won at a canter, although New Zealand had the upper hand when they met in five T20s earlier this year, with the Black Caps prevailing 3-2 in the series.

“It’s bloody exciting to be playing against New Zealand,” Finch said. “We play quite a bit against New Zealand now and we always have great battles regardless of the format. They are a great team and are led super by Kane Williamson. “It’s not unexpected. We came here with a clear plan to try to win this tournament. We always felt as though we’ve got the depth of the squad and the quality in our squad to put ourselves in a position to do that. “And New Zealand, they have been in every final for a long time now in ICC events. They are a team that can never be underestimated.

Maybe people on the outside do. Certainly inside, we don’t. They have got class.” Australia overcame heavily fancied Pakistan on Thursday although captain Finch got a golden duck after being trapped in front by talismanic left-arm quick Shaheen Shah Afridi’s nip-backer. And while Australia got over the line in their last showpiece meeting against New Zealand six years ago, Finch was undone by the left-arm swing of Trent Boult early on, while fellow seamer Tim Southee has impressed in recent weeks.

Australia is going to take this cup with them, says Langer

“Any time it nips back a little bit, I think if you look back at my career, that’s no secret that’s where I’m most vulnerable,” Finch said. “Obviously that will be a challenge with Trent’s bowling left-arm swing. “With Tim Southee, you can swing the ball away, but he also bowls one where he knocks the ball off the seam and it slides off a little bit. But I’ve had a really good hit at training, so I’m feeling good going into the game.”

While there were concerns over Finch’s opening partner David Warner’s run of low scores in the weeks and months leading up to the tournament, the veteran left-hander has made a mockery of suggestions he is on the slide. Warner has amassed 236 runs at a 47.2 average and 148.42 strike rate, having been backed to the hilt by Finch, who is similarly unfazed with Steve Smith’s form heading into the final. “No, not concerned one bit,” Finch said of a batter who has made just 69 runs in four innings in the United Arab Emirates. “He’s a world-class player and he’s someone who in big games has shown how valuable he is.

“He’s been hitting the ball as well as I’ve seen for a long time, so no concerns there whatsoever.” “For us, it’s keeping our focus on the task. We know how strong the Australian side is and we are looking forward to that opportunity.” Even though this is the third World Cup final New Zealand has reached in the last six years, the perception exists that they are still underdogs, but Williamson is not concerning himself with any labels. “It doesn’t have a lot to do with us, really,” he said. “We focus on our cricket. The different tags and whatnot, that’s not really something that we control.”

Preview

New Zealand vs Australia Final T20 World Cup 2021 On the 14th of November Team, New Zealand will clash with the formidable foe Australia to pass this Match to fight with England team to claim the WCT20 trophy of champion for New Zealand in the Semi-Final, Devon Conway, has been decreed out of the Final with an injury to his hand. That is a tremendous setback for New Zealand and will likely involve Tim Seifert’s formation for this match.

New Zealand’s batting looks a bit suspicious to us getting into this match. None of their players has secured over 200 runs, their most auspicious batsman is a makeshift opener, Kane Williamson is lacking for runs, and the side does not really have the extent that some others do.

Jimmy Neesham is the only batsman that can alter the flow of a game in a few deliveries.New Zealand’s batting is just not powerful enough and the wounds of being beaten by Australia in various big matches will take their toll.Clearly, the great action for New Zealand is its bowling. Boult and Tim Southee will be expecting to make early invasions with the bottom of the bowling strengthening them up.

Pitch Report

The Pitch of Dubai is in the favor of the Batting lineup in which the Blackcaps lack but it also provides some aid to the pacers thus their star bowler may give standoff performance where Australia can do much better than their opponents. One could say that the first batting team can pile up a huge mountain of Runs

Key Player

Martin Guptill

Martin Guptill has performed some important knocks in this competition so far. His 93 next to Scotland still continues the highlight of his warfare so far, but in total, he has got 180 runs in his pocket. His strike rate of 131 is remarkable acknowledging how the circumstances have been slightly difficult in the UAE. He got out beginning in the semi-final, but given his account against Australia, he should favor getting a score.

Kane Williamson

Skipper Kane Williamson has had an on-off competition so far. Notwithstanding having 131 runs under his scarf, his strike rate of 95 implies it hasn’t been all-natural sailing for him as of presently. Having disappointed in the semi-final, he would be upbeat and make a variation in the final. There is an enormous crisis New Zealand has in terms of a middle-order player. 

Team News

Wicket-keeper plus potential batter Devon Conway, who hit 46 from 38 balls upon England in the semi-final, fractured his right hand striking his bat after his dissolution. We suspect Tim Seifert to take the gloves and substitute Conway in the central order in the only difference in the side.

With no injured players in the squad, you can anticipate seeing Australian players an unchanged side in this match. They resemble very strong with the bat and in the spin bowling area, Adam Zampa has had an outstanding tournament.

New Zealand vs Australia Match Tips

The two underlings in the semi-final won through and have set up a neighborhood derby in the final. Australia has always seemed down on New Zealand in cricket but must handle them with respect regarding their performances across all formats of late. We are divining a win for New Zealand.

Today’s match prediction: Australia to win the match

Geoff Allardice, the acting chief executive of the International Cricket Council, admitted the prospect of India and Pakistan resuming bilateral tours anytime soon seems a distant prospect. India last welcomed their neighbors in 2013 but that has been the only series between the teams in 13 years, with relations strained following the Mumbai terrorist attacks, for which a Pakistan-based militant group was blamed. The teams only currently go head-to-head in global ICC events, most recently last month when Pakistan claimed their first-ever World Cup win over their arch-rivals at the 13th attempt in a highly-charged atmosphere in Dubai.

While the eagerly-anticipated matches between the countries bring in the biggest audiences and therefore greater revenue, ongoing geopolitical tensions mean the ICC is powerless to get them to play each other voluntarily. “We obviously enjoy it when they play each other in our events,” Allardice said. “But the relationship between the two countries and the boards is something the ICC isn’t able to influence. “Like any bilateral cricket, if the two boards agree, they play. If they don’t, then they don’t. I suppose we’re not seeing much of a change on the horizon.”

The stand-off means the nations will continue to be separated during the World Test Championship group phase – and in the event, they both reach the final, the one-off match will be played away from India and Pakistan. “It’s just a pragmatic approach to keep them apart and let the competition function,” Allardice said. “If they both make it to the final of an ICC tournament, then playing each other at a neutral venue.” The ongoing T20 World Cup, scheduled to conclude with the final in Dubai on Sunday, has been carried out with all team employees kept in strict bio-secure bubbles, allowing the tournament to progress amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

England captain Eoin Morgan and assistant coach Paul Collingwood are among those to question the sustainability of these environments as successful vaccination drives have led to a number of countries opening up again. Allardice is optimistic such a stringent approach to restrictions may not be necessary at the next men’s T20 World Cup, which is slated to take place next year in Australia. “It’s been a very difficult 12-18 months for cricketers and cricket generally,” he said. “In the lead up to this tournament it was one of our main focuses; we needed to deliver it safely and in full.

“The way it has gone, we are pleased about it. Hopefully, restrictions around the world are relaxing and quarantine requirements will be a little bit easier than they were in the past 12 months. “I am hoping that in 12 months’ time when we get to the equivalent of this event, the requirements will be a little bit different. “It’s a big tournament with 16 nations and across states in Australia and the more uniform rules are the better it will be from an organizational point of view.”

Matthew Wade smashed Shaheen Shah Afridi for a hat-trick of sixes to power Australia to the final of the 2021 T20 World Cup with a 5-wicket win over Pakistan on Thursday at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Australia needed 22 runs from the last two overs and Pakistan skipper Babar Azam went with his best bowler of the tournament Shaheen Afridi to bowl the penultimate over. Wade hit the left-arm seamer for back-to-back sixes on the last three balls of the over to seal the game for Australia.

Wade shared a crucial 81*-run stand for the sixth wicket Marcus Stoinis to shift the momentum in Australia’s favour. Stoinis, who played the aggressor in the partnership, witnessed some brutal power-hitting from Wade from the other end in the penultimate over. Wade remained unbeaten on 41 off just 17 balls as his innings was laced with four sixes and a couple of fours. While, Stonis scored 40* off 31 balls.

Chasing a formidable target of 177, Australia lost their skipper Aaron Finch early as Shaheen dismissed him on the second ball of the chase for a golden duck. Pakistan put pressure on the Aussie batters for the first three overs but David Warner took charge of the innings by smashing Imad Wasim for a six and a couple of boundaries.

Pakistan put pressure on the Aussie batters for the first three overs but David Warner took charge of the innings by smashing Imad Wasim for a six and a couple of boundaries.

“Absolutely (preempted the scoops). I was talking to Stoinis at the other end and tried to work out what they’re doing. I got a little more pace on than expected, I probably could have used it a little bit earlier, but yeah.. glad to get a couple at the end. There wasn’t a lot of chat before I went in as we lost quick wickets. But when I got out there, Me and Marcus had batted together in the first game and got some momentum today as well,” he said in the post match PC.

Wade and Marcus Stoinis must be credited for Aussie revival after they had lost their two best players in Steve Smith and David Warner in face of some sharp spin bowling of Shadab Khan. “I was a bit unsure but Marcus showed me the way out. There was one short side and I was confident that if I had to target that then I could pull it off, but it got down to two-a-ball and you had to hit everything in your arc. I got a boundary away early on and then stalled for 5-6 balls, but Marcus got the boundary away and got us to a total where I was confident in the last two overs.”

Warner shared a crucial 51-run stand alongside Mitchell Marsh to revive the chase for Australia. However, Shadab Khan spun his web in the middle-overs to wrap Australia’s middle-order cheaply. The Aussies were 96/5 at one stage and the momentum was completely in Pakistan’s favour but Wade and Stoinis changed the script to guide Australia to their second final of the T20 World Cup. Earlier, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman hit attacking half-centuries to drive Pakistan to 176 for four against Australia in the second semi-final.

Rizwan, who top-scored with 67, and Zaman, who hit an unbeaten 55 off 32 deliveries, put on 72 runs for the second wicket to help Pakistan to a challenging total after being into bat first in Dubai. Rizwan’s opening stand of 71 with skipper Babar Azam, who made 39, unsettled the Australian bowling in the first six overs of powerplay. Australia will now face New Zealand in the summit clash of the T20 World Cup final where the new champion will be crowned on November 14 in Dubai.

Preview

Pakistan vs Australia 2nd Semi-FinalT20 World Cup 2021 Today Match Prediction. In the second semifinal Match of grand event of WC T20 Tournament, Formidable foe Australia will strike with the Undefeated team of Group B Pakistan. Aussies have a strong batting lineup as well as great Bowling variation and there is no doubt that they are one of the most balanced tea in this WC T20 Competition. And on the Other hand, the Leading team of Group B Pakistan is on the winning strike they started this tournament with a victory and kept their run continued even against Men in Blue and Blackcaps leading them to the Semifinals. Which were the most unpredictable thing that happened in this competition.

Pitch report

The pitch is expected to be great for batting and pretty good to secure a great score. There is some initial progress and dismissal that both teams will look to utilize. Being a bit careful in the powerplay and then beating after may be the approach to go for a victory. we may expect a score around 160-170 runs.

Key Players

Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan)

Mohammad Rizwan has been excellent for Pakistan in the continuing edition of the T20 World Cup. The right-hander is the head T20I run-scorer in 2021 and surpassed Gayle, standing at 1676 T20I runs this year after his innings upon Scotland. The Pakistan opener has Single Century and 15 half-centuries to his title this year, with 104 not out holding the highest. In this world event, Rizwan has totaled 199 runs at an aggregate of 99.50 with a strike rate of 133.55. The opener has secured two fifties with a top score of a victorious 79.

Aaron Finch (Australia)

Aaron Finch has been breathtakingly in the open-ended edition of the T20 World Cup. He is currently the principal run-scorer for the Aussies, having nicked 121 runs at an average of 30.25 with a good strike rate of 30.25. In the premature match before confronting the Indies team, the right-hander smashed 40 runs off 20 balls and conferred the kind of form he is in. The Pakistani bowlers can’t afford to drop their guard. Although That’s completely another story that he failed to extract something good against West Indies he will do his best against Pakistani pacers.

Team News

• Babar Azam has selected the corresponding side in all five matches of the tournament so far. On one hand, this is expected to have a completely fit squad to choose from, and on the other, it is planned to the entire side operating at a very important level. There are no damage worries before the Semi-Final
• The only modification we have seen throughout the competition for Australia has been Ashton Agar replacing for Mitchell Marsh to accommodate more exceptional bowling options. However, we demand to see Marsh given the acceptance in this match besides the identical XI from their huge win over West Indies.

Pakistan vs Australia Match Tips

Australia has great players with full potential and, the same goes for Pakistan Team. They have fascinated everyone throughout the Competition. But Aussies are no less. They have every means to claim the victory thus, we predict the victory of the Australian Team.

Today’s match prediction: Pakistan to win the match

Call it revenge, if you like for. Perhaps even the more evocative “redemption” if that plays better. New Zealand has beaten England in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in one of the most remarkable matches since the 2019 ODI World Cup Final at Lord’s. And they did it more comprehensively than the boundary count of 19 to 18 in Abu Dhabi suggests.

Then again, even the margin of victory, chasing down a target of 167 with five wickets and an over to spare, does not do justice to just how dramatic this encounter was. England had all but won it after 16 overs of the second innings. Moeen Ali’s 51 in 166 for four, Chris Woakes’s opening three-over burst of two for 16, and Liam Livingstone’s exceptional two for 22 from his four had them sitting comfortably with 57 needed from the last 24 balls.

The turning point was, really, one man. Jimmy Neesham, crestfallen at the end of 2019’s Super Over and still carrying that pain to this day, smashed 27 off 11, three sixes in his found boundaries, to turn this tie on its head. It proved the perfect chase to Daryl Mitchell’s knock. The opener was 46 from 40, seemingly unable to get it off the square. But he dug deep, sweated buckets, and, taking cues from Neesham, ended unbeaten on 72 off 47. Unfortunately, for every Neesham, there is a Jordan. The one who falls so the hero of the hour can rise, just as it was Ben Stokes in 2016 for Carlos Brathwaite’s heroics.

Jordan’s third over was taken for 23: a torturously long eight-ball set exacerbating England’s worries and building tension in the field that fuelled New Zealand’s late burst. To put this defeat solely at Jordan’s door would be naive, if only because it takes credit away from a remarkable Blackcaps victory, who now must overcome the winner of Australia-Pakistan in Thursday’s semi-final to win their first T20 World Cup. It also detracts from the fact Moeen, having excelled with the ball in this tournament, did not bowl at all. The favorites, these self-appointed standard-setters of the shortest format have fallen at the first meaningful hurdle by perhaps trying to be too smart.

England are out of this league after a superb start

The all-important toss went New Zealand’s way, and Kane Williamson did not hesitate to put England in to bat first. Early swing from right-arm and left-arm quicks Tim Southee and Trent Boult brought about a cagey start, especially with Jonny Bairstow opening for the first time in this World Cup, with Sam Billings into the XI and positioned in the middle order. Only 13 came from the first three overs, but Jos Buttler’s back-to-back fours down the ground then through cover contributed to 16 taken off the fourth. And when Bairstow lifted Southee down the ground for his first four with the second ball of the fifth, there was a sense that he – and England – were about to get going.

Bairstow (13), having faced just 30 balls coming into this knock, fell to the first ball of the sixth over, driving his 17th delivery on the up low to Williamson at wide mid-on. With that, New Zealand was able to emerge out of the Power Play with a respectable 40 for one against them. As England’s A-list talent, Buttler was always going to assume the role of lead man. A reverse sweep midway through the eighth overtook four off Mitchell Santner, moving England to 50 for one and move past Pakistan’s Babar Azam as the tournament’s highest runscorer. He could only extend his lead to five, dismissed for 29 when attempting a similar shot-off leg spinner Ish Sodhi and falling LBW.

For England, this is another devastating defeat from the jaws of victory in consecutive T20 World Cups. And though this was not the final, it will hurt just as much. Once again, they were undone by the ruthlessness of the format. But New Zealand were worthy winners and have set their stall out ahead of Sunday’s final. After winning the World Test Championship this summer, they have the chance to end 2021 with a very plausible claim of being the best multi-format team in the world.

England vs New Zealand 1st Semi-Final T20 World Cup 2021 Today Match Prediction. New Zealand’s team will face England on Wednesday 10th November in the T-20 World Cup semifinals 2021 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. So far in the competition, England has performed admirably in all areas.

Their batting order has been led by Jos Buttler. Jason Roy will be missed at the top, but his replacement, Sam Billings, will be a wonderful match. Both Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone have been outstanding with the bat and the ball. In this match, Chris Woakes has the potential to be the game-changer. New Zealand’s batting hasn’t been spectacular, but they’ve kept the innings under control. At the top, Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell will be key players. The important players in the midfield will be Devon Conway and Kane Williamson.

Pitch Report

The ground in Abu Dhabi may present a number of obstacles for the hitters, therefore the slower bowlers may be useful. Strikers have found methods to score runs in the past, but they must be willing to work hard and play the waiting game before accelerating. Dew is likely to play a significant role, and the captain who wins the toss may choose to bowl first.

Average first innings score: 155 (14 T20Is in Abu Dhabi in T20 World Cup 2021)

Key players

Trent Boult

Trent Boult has been fantastic for New Zealand thus far in the T20 World Cup. The left-hander is the Black Caps’ highest wicket-taker at the moment. In his previous outing, he got three wickets at an economy rate of 4.25. It implies that the speedster has kept a close eye on the run-scoring. The England hitters must approach Boult with care.

Jos Buttler

This right-hander has made only 26 runs in his last match with a huge strike rate of 173. Anrich Norche, a South African bowler, got him out, and Temba Bavuma took the catch. Buttler was unable to show his magic in his last match, but in this match, there are so many chances for him to regain his form.

Team News

• Jason Roy, who was injured in the previous encounter, is unlikely to play in this one. As his replacement, Sam Billings will be a good fit.
• New Zealand’s team currently doesn’t have any injuries and may play without any changes to their team.

England vs New Zealand Match Tips

In T20I cricket, England has a strong record versus New Zealand. England’s Moeen Ali is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler. In this competition, he has only scored 41 runs while taking seven wickets. He’s capable of working with both departments here. New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, on the other side, hasn’t looked his best at the World Cup. So far, the Black Caps captain has only 126 runs to his name. Despite his poor form, he should do well against England. The absence of Jason Roy might be some good news for New Zealand, but still, we think England has more chances and will win this game.

Key players

Mohammad Shami

In the most recent encounter versus Scotland, Mohammad Shami was unplayable. The hitters from Scotland had a terrible time against him. He got 3 wickets at an economy rate of 5 and finished the tournament with a total of 6 wickets.

Gerhard Erasmus

Namibia’s T20 captain is Gerhard Erasmus. At the age of 23, he was appointed on the duty of leading the squad. In May month of this year, Erasmus made his T20I first appearance against Ghana. He has played 22 games since then, hitting 522 runs and taking 12 wickets. Thus this all-rounder has the capacity to play unbeaten innings and catch the wicket of the batter in the time of need.

Team News

• Varun Chakravarthy made his comeback for India’s stunning triumph against Scotland in Dubai. Despite his lack of wickets, we anticipate him to keep his spot in the team, which means Shardul Thakur will not be called up right away.
• Karl Birkenstock and Bernard Scholtz replaced Jan Frylinck and Ben Shikongo in the starting lineup ahead of the loss to New Zealand. Frylinck had been dehydrated, but after a solid tournament with the ball, he should be able to return to the team.

India vs Namibia Match Tips

Namibia has already lost its past three games and does not have a chance to enter the semi-finals. Namibia gave a valiant and courageous effort against New Zealand, but they were still defeated by 52 runs. It will be a victory for them if they can repeat that performance in this game and bat for 20 overs once again. India is also in a situation where, even with a win, they would be unable to advance to the semi-finals. Virat Kohli, in his farewell match as India’s T20 captain, will be anticipating a strong performance from his team. Our guess is that India will win by a wide margin.

Today’s match prediction:  India to win the match.

Chasing a modest 125, skipper Kane Williamson (40) and Devon Conway (36) put on an unbeaten stand of 68 to drive the team home in 18.1 overs in Abu Dhabi. The Kiwis join Pakistan as the two teams in the semi-finals from Group 2, leaving India’s final match against Namibia on Monday a dead rubber. England and Australia have already made the semi-finals from Group 1. The semi-final match-ups will be decided after Pakistan plays Scotland in the second match of the day. “It was a strong performance,” said Williamson.

“We know how dangerous this Afghanistan side is. It was good for us to be able to set the tone with the ball, take wickets early and then keep them to a below-par total. 150-155 would have been par.” Unless unbeaten Pakistan suffers a shock defeat to Scotland in Sharjah later Sunday, the Kiwis will face England in the semi-finals. Pakistan would take on Australia in the other semi-final. “There’s another strong challenge coming up. England is a very strong side,” said Williamson “For us, it is important we keep learning and building.” Afghanistan skipper Mohammad Nabi admitted making only 124 was never likely to be enough.

“This was not a decent total,” said Nabi after his team ended the tournament with two wins and three losses. “Still we tried our best with the ball. We played good cricket in the tournament, and we will take a lot of positives. “But we need to correct the mistakes we made with the bat.” Left-arm quick Trent Boult returned figures of 3-17 from his four overs and was ably supported by Tim Southee, who took two wickets, to restrict Afghanistan to 124-8. Najibullah Zadran played a lone hand with his 48-ball 73 to give the Afghanistan total some respectability after they elected to bat first.

India’s dream of semis is now over

New Zealand’s pace bowlers rattled the opposition’s top order with quick strikes as Adam Milne sent back Mohammad Shahzad caught behind for four in his first over. Boult got going from the other end to get Hazratullah Zazai out for two and Southee trapped Rahmanullah Gurbaz lbw for six as Afghanistan slipped to 19-3. Zadran counter-attacked with a handful of boundaries including two off Jimmy Neesham but soon took to defense after losing his partner Gulbadin Naib for 15. Naib dragged a wide delivery from Kiwi leg-spinner Ish Sodhi onto his stumps. Skipper Mohammad Nabi joined Zadran at the crease as the duo attempted to push the scoring against the spinners and singled out Mitchell Santner for runs.

The left-handed Zadran smashed Santner for two sixes and later got to his 50 in 33 balls. It was his second fifty in this T20 World Cup and sixth overall. Southee broke the 59-run partnership, seeing off Nabi for 14. Boult got the key scalp of Zadran with Neesham taking a good diving catch in the deep and the Afghans struggled to get runs in the final overs. New Zealand remained clinical in their modest chase with Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell mixing their singles and twos with occasional boundaries. Mujeeb Ur Rahman struck with the wicket of Mitchell, caught behind for 17.

Spin king Rashid Khan then sent back Guptill bowled for 28 to bag his 400th wicket in T20 matches. But Williamson stood firm with Conway who joined his skipper for a smooth partnership that steered the team home. The left-hand Conway smashed four boundaries and the winning runs in his 32-ball knock. Chasing a modest 125, skipper Kane Williamson (40) and Devon Conway (36) put on an unbeaten stand of 68 to drive the team home in 18.1 overs in Abu Dhabi. The Kiwis join Pakistan as the two teams in the semi-finals from Group 2, leaving India’s final match against Namibia on Monday a dead rubber. England and Australia have already made the semi-finals from Group 1.
