PBKS’s five-match losing streak traces back to one number: a bowling economy of 10.77, the worst in the tournament. When your attack can’t defend totals above 200, the entire team structure breaks. The batting unit that carried PBKS through their opening seven matches hasn’t forgotten how to bat; they’ve run out of margin for error […]

Bangladesh beat Pakistan in Mirpur not because the visitors had a bad day, but because the hosts finally had a plan that held across five sessions. The experienced middle order absorbed the new-ball spell, built a total Pakistan couldn’t chase, and then a fast bowler the opposition hadn’t solved dismantled their lower order. That’s not […]
Two deliveries this season have already answered the question. Kartik Tyagi’s 141.4 km/h bouncer struck Patidar’s helmet grill against KKR. Arshad Khan’s short ball drew a top-edged pull that ended his innings at 19 against GT. RCB’s captain is averaging 33.70 at a 192.70 strike rate, elite numbers by any measure, but opposing camps have […]
Only two teams can book their playoff spot without watching anyone else’s scorecard. RCB and GT sit on 16 points each, win their remaining two games, and both reach 20 points, untouchable regardless of what the chasing pack does. Everyone else needs someone to stumble. Match 58 did not just reshuffle the table; it drew […]
Punjab Kings are not losing because their best bowler is failing. They are losing because their best bowler is being used incorrectly. Jansen, a 6-foot-8 left-arm seamer built for new-ball swing and hard-length extraction, has received the new ball exactly twice across 11 innings this season. The result is a 10.04 economy rate, 7 wickets, […]
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has posted 440 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate above 236 and struck two rapid centuries for the Rajasthan Royals this season. None of those numbers has quieted the most significant question following him through this campaign. AB de Villiers publicly wondered how Suryavanshi’s ultra-aggressive game survives the sustained examination that […]
Three players have separated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru from every other side competing for playoff places this season. Virat Kohli has delivered consistency at the top that removes uncertainty from every batting innings RCB constructs. Rajat Patidar has struck 24 sixes and brought a middle-order aggression that no opposition captain has consistently contained on slow […]
General ticket sales for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup are live right now, and the most demanded fixtures are moving faster than most fans expect. Twelve nations play 33 matches across seven English stadiums from June 12 to July 5, with the final held at Lord’s Cricket Ground. Prices start at £5 for children […]
Bangladesh is no longer a spin-only Test side, and the transformation is too complete to dismiss as a temporary phase. After decades of designing home advantages around dry, turning surfaces, they now trust a genuine pace attack to win matches across conditions they didn’t previously target. The recent Pakistan series at home captured that shift […]
Kartik Tyagi didn’t fight his way back into cricket. He waited until the fight was worth having again. Recurring shin splints ended three separate comeback attempts between 2021 and 2024, and each return that came too early produced the same result: another injury, another rehabilitation cycle, and another lost season. The decision to stop completely […]
Royal Challengers Bengaluru sit on 14 points with the tournament’s best net run rate. Gujarat Titans carry a four-match winning streak. Sunrisers Hyderabad have won six of their last seven. Behind those three, Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Delhi Capitals remain alive in a race that most seasons would […]
