Cricket T20 World Cup

The form team throughout the Super 12, losing only their final match to South Africa when a place in the semi-finals was effectively wrapped up, they then ...

Hales’ return to the side is one of the major changes from 2021, and if one of those two fails, Dawid Malan showed against Australia that he is still more than capable of taking a game away from an opponent. Is there a more destructive batter in the T20 game than Jos Buttler? It was a case of what might have been for England 12 months ago in the UAE, and they will be desperate to avoid that feeling this time around at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Australia host the T20 World Cup and are seeking to retain the title after they beat New Zealand in the final in the United Arab Emirates last year.

Shaheen Shan Afridi has been a key part of their bowling unit since making his debut in 2018. He hasn't played much cricket in Australia and showed in the first two T20's against Australia that it might take some time getting used to the conditions. With Jofra Archer missing due to injury, Wood is the only bowler in the squad who offers express pace. Pandya has taken 12 T20 wickets this year in 17 innings. He is the number one ranked T20 batsman in the world and has scored the most T20 runs in 2022, overtaking Suryakumar Yadav during the recent tri-series in New Zealand. His strike rate is 149.05 and he is averaging 35.11 runs. Mohammad Rizwan is one of the most feared T20 batsman in international cricket and has formed a formidable partnership with Babar Azam at the top of the order for Pakistan. Australia won the last T20 World Cup in the UAE, and opener David Warner has been a key part of his side's T20 success in recent months. He is now one of the experienced heads in the dressing room and was sorely missed during the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. He has built a reputation on getting runs in the death overs and England will look to Brook to add runs in the final overs in Australia. But he will be a key figure for England this year, as he looks to cement his place in the the side in all formats. Australia and New Zealand open the Super 12's round of the T20 World Cup in Sydney on October 22; watch the T20 World Cup live in full on Sky Sports; Watch England vs Afghanistan live on Saturday October 22 from 11.30am on Sky Sports Cricket.

That’s where Campher and Dockrell dug in, combining in an unbroken 119-run fifth-wicket stand that turned the game around at Bellerive Oval. “You’ve got to give Ireland credit. To be able to drag it back and stay in this competition is really important for us." Ireland, which lost its opening game to Zimbabwe, moved into a tie with Scotland and Zimbabwe on points. Campher ensured the victory, and posted Ireland's highest-ever individual score at the T20 World Cup, with three straight boundaries to finish off the 19th over.

After overseeing Australia Women's spell of dominance on the global stage, this will coach Matthew Mott's chance to do the same for England's men.

Is there a more destructive batter in the T20 game than Jos Buttler? They have shown that the team is more than capable of flourishing in Australian conditions, with some blistering batting at the top of the order and a varied bowling attack that can take wickets at regular intervals. It was a case of what might have been for England 12 months ago in the UAE, and they will be desperate to avoid that feeling this time around at the At that point, it was fair to wonder whether England would be the same threat as a year ago, but since then they have won 4-3 in Pakistan and then 2-0 in Australia to enter the competition brimming with confidence.

Ireland's Curtis Campher and George Dockrell combined in an unbroken 119-run stand to take their side to a six-wicket win over Scotland in the T20 World ...

Having sensationally beaten West Indies in their opening game Scotland knew another victory would put them on the verge of a place in the Super 12 stage for the second successive World Cup. “It’s a lot of pressure, but I suppose that’s why you play the game, it’s these kinds of moments. Scotland’s 176 for five, led by Michael Jones’s 55-ball 86, was the highest score of the tournament so far and Ireland’s reply started catastrophically, with Andy Balbirnie, Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector all falling in the opening 10 overs.

While Ireland pulled in a six-wicket win over Scotland, West Indies beat Zimbabwe by 31 runs.

Defending champion Australia and New Zealand meet in a grand final rematch on Saturday to open the second phase of the tournament. “It’s not just now but since the beginning of the year he’s (Joseph) been our best bowler in T20 cricket,” Pooran said. To be able to drag it back and stay in this competition is really important for us.” Raza then had Shamarh Brooks leg before wicket for zero before Jason Holder also perished by offering a simple catch back to Raza. The winners of West Indies vs. Captain Nicholas Pooran gave a tame return catch to Sean Williams and three balls later Charles was run out.

England will start the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 as the second-ranked team in the world, but are now without another key player.

And he has been superb in ODI cricket too, taking 13 wickets in seven matches with an economy of just 4.36. He underwent back surgery in 2018 and seriously considering retiring from the game, such was the extent of his injury record. In that scenario, one of England’s powerful batters will have to make way. Mark Wood and Adil Rashid were already locked for two of the bowling spots in England’s first-choice XI. This is a modal window. Of all the quick bowlers competing at the World Cup, only Australia’s Josh Hazlewood is currently ranked higher.

The ICC on Wednesday announced player replacements across various squads as injuries mount during the T20 World Cup.

Finally, England’s Tymal Mills who is already in Australia comes in for Reece Topley who has an injured left ankle,” the statement said. The committee consists of Wasim Khan, ICC General Manager - Cricket (Chair); Chris Tetley, ICC Head of Events; Peter Roach, Cricket Australia, Shane Doyle, Men’s T20 World Cup Local Organising Committee; Shaun Pollock (Independent) and Ian Bishop (Independent). Rajitha is currently in Sri Lanka and will be travelling to Australia as soon as possible.

England left-arm fast bowler Reece Topley on Wednesday has been ruled out of the ICC Men`s T20 World Cup with ligament damage to his left ankle.

With Mills now drafted in the main squad, pacer Luke Wood has been added as a traveling reserve. Topley, 28, had picked 17 wickets at an average of 28.00 in 16 T20Is this year, proving to be an asset for England in the power-play as well as in the death overs.

But Aaron Finch's men delivered compelling cricket when it mattered and with the most settled squad in the tournament, will now defend their title on home soil.

Concerns remain over the spin bowling department and an over-reliance on Adam Zampa. They recovered to make the semi-finals and their turbulent relationship with T20 continued with a group-stage exit in 2009. Australia have made only one change to the squad that emerged victorious in 2021 and will aim to become the first team to retain the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
