Bumrah used his toe-crushing yorker and bowled a ball on the 5th stump which is Roy's one significant strength area but he nicked it inside edge which hit the stumps leading to Roy's Dismissal and used his wits by dismissing Buttler with a bouncer which is occasionally used by Bumrah and it didn't conclude here as he also dismissed Livingstone with his deceiving inswinger hitting the stumps and caused havoc on the top and middle order of England.

WI VS BAN: Match Report

Image
  The West Indians overpowered the Bengal Tigers as they defeated Bangladesh and won by 35 runs thanks to an all-around contribution by all departments. Brandon King tried to make the best of the opportunity given by the West Indians as he hit 57 runs and had a very formidable partnership with Kyle Mayers. The middle order of both Bangladesh and the West Indies was very underwhelming. The West Indians' batsmen had unleashed carnage on the Bangladesh bowlers and Taskin Ahmed went so expensive that he conceded 46 runs in 3 overs and did not even bowl his full quota of 4 overs. The middle order of West Indies unlike Bangladesh was compensated by Powell's 61 off 34 which aided them in reaching 193 runs. Bangladesh's Openers failed to make a noticeable impact. They so did their middle as Shakib Al Hasan was the only batsman with a formidable inning of 68 runs along with Afif Hossein's 34 off 27. The West Indian bowlers contributed collectively with their bowling and restrict...

South Africa won the toss and elected to field first which was inevitable in Feroz Shah Kotla. They surprised the Indian batters by giving Keshav Maharaj but it was ineffectual as Kishan hit him for consecutive boundaries. Rabada seemed to suppress the Indian  Batting line-up, but it was for a very short period as the Proteas bowlers' slaughter continued.  Gaikwad looked very promising but was dismissed by Parnell before being dropped in the previous ball. But the wicket of Gaikwad did not affect the Indian batsmen as Iyer mainly targetted Shamsi and Ishan was destroying Maharaj with his boundaries and sixes but Keshav had the last laugh as he dismissed Kishan.

SL VS AUS

  Sri Lanka's pathetic form continued in T20I's as they were thrashed by Australia by 10 wickets. Australia had won the toss and elected to field first. Sri Lanka in the first 12 overs did not let Australia's pace bowling lineup intimidate them as Gunathilaka played multiple innovative shots and had favoured the scoop shot. But the Australian pace bowling lineup had other plans as they exposed the fragility of the Sri Lankan Middle-order which crumbled down swiftly. Hasaranga was the only last hope for Sri Lanka as his 17 off 15 was crucial for the lower order and they could reach 128.  The experienced and varied bowling line-up of Sri Lanka was devasted by the openers of Australia i.e.  Finch and Warner. They led the Australian team to the wicket by 10 Wickets.
