India beat South Africa by seven wickets in a 20-over match, chasing 118 with 25 balls to spare. India reached 120 for 3 in 15.5 overs after restricting South Africa to 117 all out in 20 overs. Arshdeep Singh was named player of the match for his spell of 2 for 13.   South Africa’s innings never settled after early setbacks. The batting card ended at 117 all out, with regular wickets stopping any late surge. Among the later contributions, Donovan Ferreira made 20 before being bowled, while Marco Jansen scored 2. India’s bowlers shared the work, keeping the scoring under control through most of the 20 overs.   In the chase, India got a strong start. Abhishek Sharma top-scored with 35 before falling at 60, and Shubman Gill added 28 to keep the target in check. Tilak Varma stayed unbeaten on 26, guiding the finish, while Shivam Dube remained not out on 10 as India crossed the line comfortably.   Score summary   South Africa 117 all out (20 overs) India 120/3 (15.5 overs) Result India won by 7 wickets Player of the match Arshdeep Singh     South Africa: key dismissals and extras D.

India made a strong start to their home T20 series as they hammered South Africa by 101 runs in the first match in Cuttack on Tuesday. All-rounder Hardik Pandya led the way with an unbeaten half-century and a key wicket as India took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, which is part of their build-up for the T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.   Batting first after being put in, India posted 175-6 on a tricky surface. Returning from injury, Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill hit a boundary off Lungi Ngidi but fell the very next ball, spooning a catch to mid-off. Wickets kept falling as T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav made 12 and opener Abhishek Sharma 17, leaving India 78-4. Pandya, back in international cricket after a quadriceps injury suffered in September, counter-attacked immediately. He smashed 59 not out off 28 balls, with six fours and four sixes, including two big hits in one over from Keshav Maharaj. Despite losing Axar Patel for 23 off 21 balls and Shivam Dube for 11, Pandya and Jitesh Sharma added 30 runs in the last two overs to lift India to a competitive total.   South Africa’s chase never recovered from an early collapse. Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh removed Quinton de Kock for a second-ball duck and then dismissed Tristan Stubbs for 14 in his next over. Skipper Aiden Markram and Dewald Brevis, who scored 22, tried to respond with a few boundaries, but Axar Patel cut short Markram’s stay on 14. Pandya struck again with the ball, sending back David Miller for one with his first delivery, and when spinner Varun Chakravarthy removed Donovan Ferreira, South Africa slipped to 50-5.   The lower order could not resist India’s attack and South Africa were bowled out for their lowest T20 total of 74 in just 12.3 overs. Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Brevis to claim his 100th T20 wicket and added another scalp in the same over to shut the door on any resistance.   The result underlined India’s early form ahead of the global event, where discussions around the pakistan t20 world cup 2026 squad and other major teams are already gaining attention among fans in the region. The second T20 of the India–South Africa series is scheduled for Thursday in New Chandigarh, with both sides looking to fine-tune their combinations. PakistaniBano News sports desk will continue to track these preparations closely for its readers.

The Desert Vipers survived a tense finish to defeat the Gulf Giants in the first-ever Super Over of the DP World ILT20 at the Dubai International Stadium on Monday. Chasing a target of 180, the Vipers matched the Giants’ total of 179 in their 20 overs, before sealing victory in the one-over eliminator. It was the Vipers’ third straight win of the season and extended their perfect record against the Giants to six wins in six matches.   In the chase, Sam Curran (44 off 36) and Dan Lawrence (56 off 31) led the recovery after an early collapse. The Vipers slipped to 14 for 2, with Fakhar Zaman and Andries Gous dismissed cheaply by Azmatullah Omarzai and Mark Adair. Impact Player Max Holden added 15 before falling to Haider Razzaq, leaving the Vipers 65 for 3 at the halfway stage and still needing 115 runs.   Curran and Lawrence then changed the momentum with a crucial 60-run stand. Curran struck one four and three sixes in his 44 before Nuwan Thushara removed him. Lawrence continued to attack, reaching his half-century in just 28 balls and keeping his side in the contest. Omarzai, however, swung the game again in the 18th over, dismissing Shimron Hetmyer (16 off 8) and Lawrence in quick succession. Late cameos from Hasan Nawaz (11 off 4) and others kept the Vipers in touch as wickets fell at the other end.   With 13 needed off the final over, Khuzaima Tanveer lofted Omarzai for a vital six, but a sharp catch by Rahmanullah Gurbaz ended his stay. Vriitya Aravind then held his nerve, finding the gaps to level the scores and force the Super Over. The pressure finish under lights added extra drama to what was already one of the most gripping games of this ILT20 season, widely followed by fans across the region, including Pakistani cricket followers tracking the league through platforms like PakistaniBano News.   Earlier, the Gulf Giants had posted 179 for 5 after being asked to bat. Pathum Nissanka (56 off 29) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (41 off 31) gave the Giants a flying start, taking 14 runs off Naseem Shah in the opening over. The pair raced to a 50-run stand inside five overs and powered the side to 58 in the powerplay. Nissanka continued his strong form, bringing up his third consecutive half-century off 27 balls before Noor Ahmad dismissed him immediately after he hit his fourth six, breaking a 73-run opening partnership.   Gurbaz then took charge, with captain James Vince contributing a measured 25 off 22 deliveries. Their 54-run stand was broken when Tanveer removed Vince and then struck again two balls later to dismiss Gurbaz, leaving the Giants 129 for 3 at the end of the 14th over. The Vipers’ bowlers slowed the scoring in the final phase. Noor picked up his second wicket by dismissing Omarzai (20 off 13), while David Payne removed Moeen Ali (11 off 11). The Giants managed only 38 runs in the last five overs and closed on 179 for 5, a total that looked strong but not out of reach.   Omarzai still produced a standout spell with the ball, taking 4 for 32 and causing repeated problems in the Vipers’ chase. Thushara supported him with figures of 2 for 33, while Razzaq and Adair chipped in with important breakthroughs. The lower order of the Vipers, however, refused to fold, turning a difficult position into a tied finish and setting up the Super Over.   In the one-over shootout, the Vipers batted first. Lawrence struck a boundary and scored 10 runs, with Hetmyer adding three more as the Vipers reached 13 for 1 off Thushara. Chasing 14, the Giants sent out Moeen Ali and Tom Moores, but Naseem Shah delivered a tight over, conceding just nine runs. The Giants finished on 9 without loss, handing the Vipers victory by four runs in the Super Over.   Speaking after the match, stand-in Vipers captain Sam Curran said the team was happy with their perfect start. “It has been the trend recently, but I am not complaining — three wins from three,” he remarked. Praising Tanveer’s role under pressure, Curran added that the all-rounder had worked hard on his batting and showed his progress with a crucial six and disciplined bowling.   Gulf Giants’ stand-in skipper Moeen Ali admitted that his side let the game slip. He said they made mistakes at key moments and allowed the Vipers back into the contest. Moeen noted that when the Giants needed tight deliveries, they instead offered scoring opportunities and stressed that in T20 cricket, the game is never over and this was a match they could easily have closed out.   Brief Scores   Desert Vipers beat Gulf Giants in the Super Over   Gulf Giants: 179/5 in 20 overs (Pathum Nissanka 56, Rahmanullah Gurbaz 41, Khuzaima Tanveer 2 for 23, Noor Ahmad 2 for 47)   Desert Vipers: 179/9 in 20 overs (Dan Lawrence 56, Sam Curran 44, Azmatullah Omarzai 4 for 32, Nuwan Thushara 2 for 33)   Super Over   Desert Vipers: 13/1 in 1 over (Dan Lawrence 10, Shimron Hetmyer 3*, Nuwan Thushara 1 for 13)   Gulf Giants: 9/0 in 1 over (Moeen Ali 5*, Tom Moores 1*, Naseem Shah 0 for 9)   Player of the match: Dan Lawrence

West Indies have earned their first points in the 2025–27 ICC World Test Championship after pulling off a remarkable draw against New Zealand in Christchurch, built on one of the most stubborn fourth-innings efforts in their history.   Chasing a massive target of 531, the visitors batted for 163.3 overs in the final innings and finished on 457 for 6. It was their longest fourth-innings stay at the crease in almost 100 years and left New Zealand frustrated on the final evening at Hagley Oval.   The hero of the day was Justin Greaves, who produced a career-defining knock. The middle-order batter crafted an unbeaten 202 off 388 balls, spending more time at the crease in this single innings than in his previous 12 Tests combined. After West Indies had slipped to 92 for 4 on Day 3, he joined Shai Hope and the pair added a crucial 196-run stand that pulled their side back from the brink.   Once Hope fell for a fine 140 and Tevin Imlach departed soon after, Greaves took full responsibility. He calmly guided the lower order and brought up his maiden double-century in the penultimate over, cutting Jacob Duffy over backward point for only his second boundary of the final session. His innings anchored a resistance that turned what looked like a certain defeat into a famous escape.   At the other end, veteran seamer Kemar Roach played an equally vital hand with the bat. Returning to the XI, the 37-year-old faced 233 deliveries for a stoic 58 not out, the highest score of his first-class career. Remarkably, he scored just five runs from his last 104 balls, standing firm as New Zealand’s attack ran out of ideas on a flattening surface under the late-afternoon sun.   The final session was not without controversy. New Zealand felt aggrieved when Roach appeared to edge Michael Bracewell to Tom Latham, but with all reviews used up, umpire Alex Wharf’s not-out decision stood. Moments earlier, he had correctly turned down a separate caught-behind appeal, adding to the drama in the closing overs.   Despite failing to force a win, New Zealand still took valuable points from the match, while West Indies finally opened their account in the World Test Championship. The result also slightly reshaped the standings, where Australia continue to lead and Pakistan remain in the middle of the table, as fans and platforms such as PakistaniBano News track every shift in the rankings.   Latest ICC World Test Championship Points Table Rank Team Played Won Lost Drawn Points Win% 1 Australia 4 4 0 0 48 100.00 2 South Africa 4 3 1 0 36 75.00 3 Sri Lanka 2 1 0 1 16 66.67 4 Pakistan 2 1 1 0 12 50.00 5 India 9 4 4 1 52 48.15 6 England 6 2 3 1 26 36.11 7 New Zealand 1 0 0 1 4 33.33 8 Bangladesh 2 0 1 1 4 16.67 9 West Indies 6 0 5 1 4 5.56

South Africa great Jacques Kallis believes the 2026 T20 World Cup has arrived at the ideal moment for the Proteas and says they have a strong chance to finally claim their first world title. The tournament will start on 7 February next year, just days after the end of the high-profile SA20 league.   Kallis is convinced that the timing of SA20 will give the national side a major advantage, as most of South Africa’s key players will be in constant action right up to the global event. According to him, this block of high-intensity cricket should help the Proteas enter the World Cup with rhythm, sharpness and confidence.   The former all-rounder pointed out that senior names such as Kagiso Rabada, Quinton de Kock and captain Aiden Markram will be central to South Africa’s push for the trophy. He also singled out Marco Jansen, calling his recent rise with bat and ball one of the most important positives for the side.   Kallis referenced Jansen’s Player-of-the-Match performance against India in Guwahati and his seven wickets in the previous T20 World Cup as proof of his development. In his view, Jansen has always had talent but has now found a better balance in his game, making him a genuine premium all-rounder for South Africa in pressure situations.   Looking ahead to the group stage, South Africa are drawn with New Zealand, Afghanistan, Canada and the UAE at the 2026 tournament. Their first match is scheduled against Canada on 9 February in Ahmedabad, a fixture that will set the tone for their campaign. As global interest builds, including coverage from platforms like PakistaniBano News, Kallis’ confidence adds another layer of expectation around the Proteas’ latest bid for a T20 world title.

Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has suffered another setback in his bid to return to the ongoing Ashes series, after developing Achilles soreness during the early phase of his recovery from a recent hamstring injury. The issue has slowed his comeback plans and raised new doubts over his availability for the remaining Tests.   Hazlewood had been due to join the Test squad in Brisbane to continue supervised rehabilitation, but those plans have now been put on hold. The right-armer started light bowling in Sydney last week after missing the first Test with a hamstring strain picked up while playing for New South Wales, yet his return has again been interrupted.   Cricket Australia, in a brief medical update, described the latest concern as a mild problem and indicated that Hazlewood is expected to resume running and bowling drills next week if his condition improves. Even before this setback, he was considered unlikely to play in the second Test in Adelaide, and the fresh delay now leaves him in a tight race to be ready for the Melbourne or Sydney matches.   The sequence of injuries in recent seasons has become a major concern for team management. Each time Hazlewood builds towards a full workload, new physical issues appear. Over the past few years he has dealt with repeated calf problems, multiple side strains and recurring Achilles-related discomfort, forcing him to miss key series at home and overseas.   During the 2022–23 home summer, he suffered a side strain in the opening Test and sat out the next three matches. When he finally returned, further Achilles soreness kept him out of the tour of India and left him short of match fitness ahead of the World Test Championship final. That pattern of stop–start cricket has made it difficult for him to regain his old rhythm.   Last summer also proved difficult. Hazlewood missed more games due to another side strain and later a calf injury that emerged during a rushed comeback, ruling him out of the rest of the domestic season, the Sri Lanka tour and the Champions Trophy. His form only stabilised after he joined the IPL midway through the tournament and built up overs in competitive conditions.   In the lead-up to this Ashes series, his only Sheffield Shield appearance ended with the hamstring strain that now sits at the centre of his extended layoff. Initial scans did not clearly show the issue, which led to concerns about possible tendon involvement. The new bout of Achilles soreness has added yet another complication to an already fragile recovery timeline.   Head coach Andrew McDonald has remained publicly optimistic that Hazlewood could still feature later in the series, but the slower-than-hoped progress naturally reduces those chances. Australia’s pace resources are already stretched, with Sean Abbott also sidelined by a hamstring injury and captain Pat Cummins held back from a return at the Gabba and instead targeted for Adelaide. For followers of international cricket, including fans in Pakistan and readers of platforms such as PakistaniBano News, Hazlewood’s situation will remain a key talking point as the Ashes battle continues.

Bangladesh and Ireland meet in the first T20I on 27 November 2025 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram, with both teams looking to start the series on a strong note. The venue has historically favoured batters, and early figures suggest another high-scoring contest.

The average first-innings score this year stands at 167, keeping expectations high for a competitive total. The pitch offers strong support to fast bowlers, who average 24.9 per wicket, while spinners have also remained effective with an average of 25.8. Early predictive trends suggest a wicket pattern of 1.73 wickets in the powerplay, 2.51 in the middle overs, and 2.27 during the death overs, indicating that bowlers may find breakthroughs across all phases of the innings. Both squads have named full-strength line-ups. Bangladesh will be led by Litton Das, with players like Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shoriful Islam expected to play key roles. Ireland, captained by Paul Stirling, bring a balanced group featuring Curtis Campher, Josh Little, Harry Tector, and Mark Adair. Predictive form guides tip Bangladesh to win both the toss and the match, with Tanzid Hasan and Paul Stirling projected as the top run-scorers for their respective sides. Mustafizur Rahman and Mark Adair are forecast to be the leading wicket-takers. Bangladesh are expected to post 160+ if batting first, while Ireland are projected around 140+. The match sets the tone for the upcoming T20 series, with both sides looking to build momentum in Chattogram.

Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim reached a major milestone on Thursday by scoring a century in his 100th Test match, achieving the feat against Ireland in Mirpur on day two of the second Test. The veteran batter resumed the innings on 99 not out and completed his hundred with a single early in the morning session, drawing loud appreciation from the home crowd at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium. The 38-year-old became part of a select group of international cricketers who have scored a century in their 100th Test. The elite list includes Javed Miandad, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Colin Cowdrey, Gordon Greenidge, Alec Stewart, Ricky Ponting, Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Joe Root, and David Warner. Mushfiqur’s landmark innings was his 13th Test century, bringing him level with Mominul Haque for the most centuries by a Bangladesh batsman. A gritty century for Mushfiqur Rahim in his 100th Test match 😍💪#BANvIRE 📝 : https://t.co/mGNtnRan1A pic.twitter.com/X997VMfkEB — ICC (@ICC) November 20, 2025 His innings ended at 106, when he edged a delivery from left-arm spinner Matthew Humphreys to second slip, where Andy Balbirnie completed a sharp catch. Irish players offered warm applause as Mushfiqur walked back, acknowledging the ovation from the Mirpur crowd. He faced 214 balls and struck five boundaries, helping Bangladesh recover after a shaky start at 95-3 on day one. Bangladesh already lead the two-match series, having won the opening Test by an innings and 47 runs, and Mushfiqur’s latest performance further strengthened their position.

Mushfiqur Rahim was born on 9 May 1987 in Bogura, Bangladesh. Raised in an academically focused family, he completed his schooling at Bogura Zilla School and later studied History at Jahangirnagar University, earning his master’s degree in 2012. He married Jannatul Kifayet Mondi in 2014, and the couple welcomed a son, Mayan, in 2018. Rise Through Youth Cricket Before entering the international arena, Rahim represented Bangladesh Under-19s in Youth Tests and ODIs. He captained a talented squad in the 2006 U-19 World Cup, guiding the team to the quarter-finals. His strong batting performances earned him a recall to the senior Test squad shortly after the tournament. International Debut and Early Impact (2005–2010) Rahim debuted in 2005 on Bangladesh’s maiden tour of England. Selected as a specialist batter at Lord’s, he became one of the youngest players to appear at the historic venue. His early years included steady progress as a wicketkeeper-batsman, culminating in a rapid century against India in 2010 — the fastest Test hundred recorded by a Bangladeshi player. Establishing Himself as a Core Performer Former national coach Jamie Siddons praised Rahim’s ability to bat anywhere in the top order. Over the next decade, Rahim became Bangladesh’s highest run-scorer across formats, accumulating over 11,000 international runs and more than 400 wicketkeeping dismissals. He set numerous Test milestones, including becoming the country’s highest individual scorer and the first wicketkeeper in the world to record multiple double-centuries. Domestic Success and Franchise T20 Career Rahim maintained a prolific domestic career with Rajshahi Division, scoring over 6,500 first-class runs. In the Bangladesh Premier League, he consistently ranked among the leading run-scorers for teams such as Sylhet Royals, Chittagong Vikings, Khulna Tigers and Barishal Bulls. His T20 franchise experience extended to the Afghanistan Premier League, where he represented Nangarhar. Significant Contributions and Return to Form (2010–2014) Rahim’s strong performances prompted his reinstatement as Bangladesh’s first-choice wicketkeeper by 2009. He delivered crucial innings in both ODIs and Tests, including vital partnerships in the 2015 Cricket World Cup. Despite periods of inconsistency, he continued to hold his place due to his reliability and adaptability. Captaincy Era (2011–2018) Rahim was appointed Bangladesh captain in 2011 following a disappointing tour under the previous leadership. His tenure included Bangladesh’s memorable run to the 2012 Asia Cup final and several competitive series. His own batting thrived during this period, highlighted by Bangladesh’s first-ever Test double-century, scored by Rahim against Sri Lanka in 2013. Major Milestones and World Cup Performances (2017–2019) Rahim achieved several personal milestones, including his 100th Test dismissal as a wicketkeeper and Bangladesh’s first century against South Africa in any format. In the 2019 World Cup, he produced standout performances: an 80 against South Africa and his maiden World Cup century versus Australia. Record-Breaking Test Feats and Late Career (2020–2025) In 2020, Rahim scored his third Test double-century, reinforcing his status as Bangladesh’s greatest Test batsman. He later became the first Bangladeshi to win 150 international matches and set the record for the fastest ODI century by a Bangladesh player in 2023. That same year, he became the first Test cricketer in 72 years to be dismissed for obstructing the field. Rahim was selected for the 2025 Champions Trophy squad and retired from ODI cricket in March 2025.

Bangladesh produced a composed batting display on the opening day of the second Test against Ireland at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, finishing in a strong position after choosing to bat first. The day held added significance as Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to play 100 Tests, and the hosts ensured the occasion was marked with a controlled performance at home. 🏏 Live Cricket Score Loading live score... async function loadLiveScore() { try { const res = await fetch("https://api.cricapi.com/v1/currentMatches?apikey=f966053a-56c8-4f4f-8507-1b4ddc345e68"); const data = await res.json(); if (!data.data || data.data.length === 0) { document.getElementById("scoreContent").innerHTML = "No live matches right now."; return; } // First live match const m = data.data[0]; const score1 = m.score[0] ? `${m.score[0].inning}: ${m.score[0].r}/${m.score[0].w} (${m.score[0].o})` : ""; const score2 = m.score[1] ? `${m.score[1].inning}: ${m.score[1].r}/${m.score[1].w} (${m.score[1].o})` : ""; const html = ` ${m.teams[0]} vs ${m.teams[1]} ${score1} ${score2} ${m.status} `; document.getElementById("scoreContent").innerHTML = html; } catch (e) { document.getElementById("scoreContent").innerHTML = "Error loading live score."; } } // Refresh every 30 seconds loadLiveScore(); setInterval(loadLiveScore, 30000); Openers Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Shadman Islam gave Bangladesh a steady start, navigating early movement from Jordan Neill and Curtis Campher. Shadman looked fluent against anything overpitched, striking crisp boundaries through the off side, while Joy maintained patience outside off stump. Their partnership provided Bangladesh with early stability before Ireland made a comeback. The first breakthrough arrived when Shadman fell leg before to Andy McBrine, who quickly settled into a rhythm and began dictating the middle overs with tight off-spin. The wicket brought Mominul Haque to the crease, and he responded with a calm, compact innings built around strike rotation and smart sweeping. He survived a couple of close calls and one dropped chance but kept the scoreboard moving. Ireland’s bowlers continued probing, with McBrine and Matthew Humphreys operating in tandem for extended spells. Their consistency created pressure, earning Ireland their second wicket when Najmul Hossain Shanto was bowled trying to play against the turn. Bangladesh briefly stalled but recovered through a crucial stand between Mominul and senior batter Mushfiqur Rahim, who played with characteristic assurance. Mushfiqur, celebrating his milestone Test, showcased soft hands, solid defence and selective aggression, collecting boundaries whenever the spinners strayed in length. The partnership carried Bangladesh forward through the afternoon and evening sessions, blunting both spin and reverse swing. Mominul eventually fell to McBrine after edging a sweep to slip, but Bangladesh remained in command. In the final session, Litton Das joined Mushfiqur and kept Ireland’s attack at bay with crisp stroke play square of the wicket. Boundaries through point and mid-wicket ensured the run rate stayed healthy, while Irish bowlers searched for late breakthroughs without reward. McBrine remained Ireland’s standout performer, supported by Humphreys and Hoey, though inconsistent fielding—dropped chances and misfields—hurt their momentum. By stumps, Bangladesh had laid a solid foundation, thanks largely to experienced hands guiding the innings at key moments. The batting depth still to come will give the hosts confidence of pushing towards a strong first-innings total on Day 2, while Ireland will look to capitalise on the early-morning conditions to claw back into the contest.
