India ended Day 1 of the 3rd Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Pune with a score of 86/4, trailing by 149 runs. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten at the crease at the close of play. Despite being in a comfortable position at 78/1, India lost three quick wickets towards the end of the day.

Earlier, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar showcased India's dominance on the opening day of the third Test match. Jadeja, the left-arm orthodox bowler, achieved a five-wicket haul - his second of the year in Test cricket, while Sundar continued to impress with his performance in this series.

The day began with New Zealand's captain, Tom Latham, winning the toss and choosing to bat on a challenging pitch at the Wankhede Stadium. Despite this advantage, the Indian bowlers quickly leveled the playing field.

Akashdeep struck early in the fourth over, dismissing Devon Conway. This wicket was crucial for India, especially after including Mohammed Siraj in the playing XI in place of the unwell Jasprit Bumrah.

Recognizing the pitch's lack of assistance for pacers, Rohit Sharma introduced his off-spinners, which proved to be a wise decision. Sundar bowled a remarkable delivery to dismiss Latham, followed by another identical delivery to remove Rachin Ravindra.

Although India seemed to have control over the match, Will Young and Daryl Mitchell formed a strong partnership, putting pressure on the Indian team. However, Jadeja's dismissal of Young provided India with a much-needed breakthrough.

Jadeja continued to dominate, surpassing Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma in terms of the most wickets taken by Indians in Test cricket. Mitchell played sensibly but fell short of a century, eventually being dismissed by Sundar on 82. India managed to dismiss New Zealand for 235, but the visitors were not finished for the day.

In the seventh over of the match, Matt Henry managed to dismiss Rohit Sharma early, giving New Zealand an advantage over India. Following Rohit's departure, Shubman Gill took to the crease and formed a partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal, adding 53 runs for the second wicket. However, just as India seemed to be stabilizing, the Kiwi bowlers struck back, seizing control of the game.

Jaiswal's attempt at a reverse sweep ended in his dismissal by Ajaz Patel. To strengthen the middle order, India sent Mohammed Siraj to bat at number four, but he was quickly dismissed LBW on the first ball he faced. The final blow of the day came when Virat Kohli was run out while attempting a risky run.

Yasir, supported by skipper Anamul Haque Bijoy's 65 off 51 deliveries, helped Rajshahi recover from a precarious 25-2, sharing a 140-run stand for the third wicket. Kyle Mayers was the pick of Barishal’s bowlers, claiming 2-13 in three overs and dismissing both openers. Barishal’s chase began shakily, slumping to 61-5 by the ninth over as Taskin Ahmed (3-31) and Hasan Murad wreaked havoc. Taskin dismissed Barishal captain Tamim Iqbal (7) and dangerman Kyle Mayers (6), while Jishan Alam sent Najmul Hossain Shanto back for a first-ball duck. Towhid Hridoy offered brief resistance with a 23-ball 32 before falling to Murad, who also removed Mushfiqur Rahim (13). With Rajshahi firmly in control, veteran Mahmudullah Riyad turned the game on its head with a blistering 56 off 26 balls, smashing five fours and four sixes.

Earlier, Rajshahi’s Yasir Ali looked set for a maiden T20 century but was denied on 94, taking a single off the penultimate ball of the innings. His heroics gave Rajshahi hope, but Mahmudullah and Ashraf’s late blitz crushed their dreams of a winning start. Barishal’s thrilling victory showcased their resilience and highlighted the importance of experience and composure under pressure, setting the tone for another exciting BPL season.

India could have walked off the field with a draw after surviving three sessions on the fifth day of the Melbourne Test. The task was more difficult for Australia.

Thrill in Melbourne Test as Bumrah Sets World Record

Jasprit Bumrah, India’s recent bowling sensation, has reignited his team with an incredible feat. The right-arm pacer became the fastest Indian to claim 200 Test wickets. Globally, he achieved this milestone in the fourth-lowest number of balls bowled and tied for the tenth-fastest by matches. However, Bumrah made history by claiming 200 Test wickets at the lowest economy rate ever recorded. He is the only bowler in Test history to achieve 200 wickets with an average under 20 (19.56). Under pressure from Bumrah and Siraj’s fiery bowling, Australia collapsed to 91 for 6 in their second innings, adding to the drama of the fourth Test in Melbourne in the Border-Gavaskar series. Despite their struggles, Australia managed to surpass the 200-run mark, thanks to a 105-run first-innings lead. On the fourth day of the Boxing Day Test (Sunday), India was bowled out for 369 after adding just 11 runs to their overnight total. This effort was powered by a spectacular maiden Test century by Nitish Kumar Reddy, who scored 114 off 189 balls, including 11 fours and one six. Pat Cummins, Scott Boland, and Nathan Lyon each took three wickets for Australia in the first innings. In their second innings, Australia lost debutant opener Sam Constance for just 8 runs to a brilliant inswinger from Bumrah, who had previously stared him down in the first innings after his resilient 60-run knock. Mohammed Siraj then dismissed Usman Khawaja for 21 and Steven Smith for 13. Australia suffered a dramatic collapse, losing four wickets for just 11 runs, three of which were claimed by Bumrah. He reached the milestone of 200 Test wickets by dismissing Travis Head for just 1. Bumrah then sent back Mitchell Marsh (0) and Alex Carey, bringing his tally to 202 wickets in Tests. Fewest Runs Conceded for 200 Test Wickets Jasprit Bumrah: 3912 runs (average 19.56) Joel Garner: 4067 runs (average 20.34) Shaun Pollock: 4077 runs (average 20.39) Fewest Balls to 200 Test Wickets Waqar Younis: 7725 balls Dale Steyn: 7848 balls Kagiso Rabada: 8154 balls Jasprit Bumrah: 8484 balls Malcolm Marshall: 9234 balls Fastest to 200 Test Wickets for India Jasprit Bumrah: 8484 balls Mohammed Shami: 9896 balls Ravichandran Ashwin: 10,248 balls Kapil Dev: 11,066 balls Ravindra Jadeja: 11,989 balls

New Zealand Fight Back to Beat Sri Lanka by 8 Runs in First T20

Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell made half-centuries in a 105-run sixth-wicket partnership to help lead New Zealand to an eight-run win over Sri Lanka on Saturday in the first of three T20 internationals. Outstanding bowling at the death also turned the match in New Zealand's favour as Sri Lanka slumped from 121-0 to 164-8 in reply to New Zealand's 172-8. Mitchell made 62 and Bracewell 59 in a partnership lasting only 60 balls, after coming together with New Zealand in trouble at 65-5 when Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed Glenn Phillips and Mitchell Hay with consecutive deliveries in the 10th over. New Zealand's total looked inadequate as Pathum Nissanka made 90 in 60 balls and shared a 121-run opening stand with Kusal Mendis which seemed to have set up Sri Lanka for a comfortable win. Mendis contributed 46 to Sri Lanka's first-century opening partnership in T20s in 122 innings over eight years. He was out in the 14th over, an over where Jacob Duffy took three wickets for one run, marking the point at which Sri Lanka's run chase began to unravel. Kamindu Mendis and Kusal Perera were also out in the same over. “They're class batters, particularly those two at the top,” Duffy said. "We know these conditions well with a bit of bounce and swing up top.” Nissanka was dismissed with a total of 153-5 in the 19th over and only 20 runs needed for victory. But Sri Lanka went into the match with a long tail and it wasn't able to finish what Nissanka and Kusal Mendis had started. “We're really disappointed about the result and we really should have done better,” Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka said. “I think Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis batted really well and the rest of us, myself included, should take responsibility for this loss.” New Zealand was under pressure for most of the match, stumbling to 32-2 at the end of the power play as Binura Fernando bowled superbly at the top of the innings, finishing with 2-22. Hasaranga then stepped up and took his two important middle-order wickets as New Zealand reached 65-5 by the midpoint of its innings. Mitchell and Bracewell lifted New Zealand to a solid total which was still made to look reachable under the early onslaught from Nissanka and Mendis. But after Duffy's three-wicket burst, Sri Lanka lost its way and the next-best score after the opening pair was 8. Matt Henry and Zak Foulkes bowled superbly at the death. UNB News.
