Key Statistics & Records For India And Pakistan As Their Longtime Rivals Square Off Once More In The Asia Cup 2022

August 27, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Sport News

At the same location where their arch-rivals shockingly destroyed the defending champions in the T20 World Cup last year, Rohit Sharma’s India and Babar Azam’s Pakistan will be hoping to get off to a strong start in the 2022 Asia Cup.

India, led by Rohit Sharma, will be seeking vengeance against Pakistan after losing the previous meeting between the two teams by a margin of 10 wickets.

ICC T20 Batting Ranking So Far:

Over the years, India and Pakistan have engaged in a number of notable contests in a variety of formats, 14 of which took place at the Asia Cup. India consistently outperforms its rivals in tournament matches, including in the Asia Cup, even if Pakistan may dominate the head-to-head statistics in Tests and ODIs played between the two teams.

The two sides will now face off against one another on Sunday in the opening game of the 2022 Asia Cup in Dubai, with Pakistan being headed by Babar Azam and India being led by Rohit Sharma. Before the eagerly awaited match, let’s look at some vital statistics:

Head-To-Head Comparison:

As previously mentioned, India leads the tournament records, while Pakistan leads the overall records in ODIs and Tests. The Asia Cup, however, will be contested in the T20 format, and it’s vital to remember that India now leads 6-2 in this format. India now leads the Asia Cup 8-5, with the 1997 match being called off once. Pakistan leads India 12-9 in Test matches while leading the ODI series 73-55.

Most Runs Scored:

Rohit Sharma, the India captain, leads all T20I scorers with 3487 runs in 132 matches at an average of 32.28 and a strike rate of 140.26. Virat Kohli, India’s second-highest run scorer, has scored 3308 runs in 99 T20 Internationals at an astounding average of 50.12 and strike rate of 137.66. Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, is in first place with 2686 runs in 74 T20 Internationals at an average of 45.52 and a strike rate of 129.44.

Most Wickets Taken:

Both countries’ top wicket-takers are spinners, with Yuzvendra Chahal of India leading the pack overall with 79 dismissals in 62 games. Shadab Khan, the vice captain of Pakistan, has taken 73 wickets in 64 games, making him their most productive wicket-taker. Veteran Indian bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has reached the milestone in 72 games, ties Shadab’s total.

While Shadab is not quite ready to surpass Chahal for India as the highest wicket-taker in the shortest format, he is still some way off. With 98 T20I wickets in 99 games, former skipper Shahid Afridi leads the team, and former fast bowler Umar Gul is second with 85 in 64 games. Saeed Ajmal, a former spinner, places third after tying Gul’s record in 64 games. Fourth on the list is Shadab.

Last Asia Cup Match:

While Pakistani supporters will never forget it, Indian fans would want to avoid looking at the previous game’s scorecard. India enjoyed the better name recognition going into the two sides’ T20 World Cup opener, in addition to their unblemished record versus Pakistan in 50-over and 20-over World Cup matches. However, the Indian batting order was destroyed by the fast bowlers from Pakistan, headed by Shaheen Afridi. They reached 151/7 thanks to the 57 off 49 balls scored by captain Virat Kohli. Mohammad Rizwan and skipper Babar both scored unbroken half century as Pakistan successfully chased down the goal without losing a wicket.

After The US Open, Serena Williams Will Stop Playing

August 10, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Sport News

The legendary American Serena Williams said on Tuesday that she was “developing away from tennis” and intended to leave the game she dominated with 23 Grand Slam victories after the US Open, which starts later this month.

Williams defeated Spain’s Nuria Parrizas Diaz on Monday to go to the second round of the Toronto Open in just her second singles match since she resumed playing at Wimbledon in June after a year off.

However, the 40-year-old claimed following the match that she could now see the tennis career’s end in sight.

Williams remarked in a Vogue story, “I have never liked the word retiring.

“Evolution may be the best term to use to describe what I’m doing. I’m here to let you know that I’m moving away from tennis and toward other priorities.

“I discreetly founded Serena Ventures, a venture capital business, a few years ago. I soon afterward began a family. I want that family to expand.

In search of the elusive 24th trophy that would tie her with Australian Margaret Court, who currently owns the record, Williams won her last Grand Slam in 2017.

The American, who has participated in four major finals since the birth of her daughter Olympia in 2017, came agonisingly close to accomplishing that accomplishment.

The former world number one Williams, who sought the counsel of her friend Tiger Woods before picking up a racket again this spring, said: “There are people who say I’m not the GOAT (greatest of all time) because I didn’t pass Court’s record, which she achieved before the “Open era” that began in 1968.

“If I claimed I didn’t want that record, I’d be lying. Of course I do. However, I don’t really think about her on a daily basis.”

It was time to go in a “new route,” Williams subsequently stated in an Instagram post.

“The timer has started. I have to prioritise being a mother, achieving my spiritual objectives, and finding a new, interesting Serena.”

She must also keep up with a huge company portfolio.

She has supported start-up businesses for almost ten years, and Serena Ventures has funded 16 unicorns (companies with a market value more than $1 billion), including Masterclass.

Williams revealed that she and her husband, businessman and investor Alexis Ohanian, had been trying to conceive for the past year; their four-year-old daughter Olympia is thrilled about the choice.

Before going to sleep, she may occasionally pray to Jehovah for a baby sibling, Williams noted.

The American athlete, who won the Australian Open in 2017 when two months pregnant, has no interest in competing while pregnant again. “I need to be two feet into tennis or two feet out,” she said.

She remarked, “I never wanted to have to decide between tennis and a family.” But something has to give because I will turn 41 in September.

Babar Azam, the skipper of Pakistan, has now held the record for the longest stretch of time at the top of the T20I batter rankings after maintaining that position in the most current rankings. As a consequence, he broke Virat Kohli’s previous record of 1,013 days at the top.

The Pakistani captain is now in first place in the ODI rankings, ahead of second-placed Virat Kohli and third-placed Imam-ul-Haq, thanks to his outstanding performance in short overs cricket.

The Pakistani captain is now classified as the No. 1 hitter in T20Is and ODIs, and he recently indicated he was eager to try and claim top billing in all three formats of the game, according to a statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC).

ECB Has Confirmed That Eoin Morgan Is Leaving International Cricket

June 29, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Sport News

The limited-overs captain of England for men, Eoin Morgan, has announced his departure from international cricket. In all white-ball forms, he leaves as England’s highest run scorer, player with the most appearances, and the only one to have guided the country to an ODI World Cup victory.

Eoin Morgan Achievements

225 ODI appearances yielded a record-breaking 6,957 runs, including 13 hundreds, at an average of 39.75.
The best victory record by any England Men’s ODI Captain in the history of the game was achieved by Morgan, who supervised 76 triumphs in 126 games while serving as captain, with a win percentage of 60%.
He shared the record for most Men’s T20 International team captains with MS Dhoni of India with 72 appearances.
Morgan played 115 times for England and scored 2,458 runs.
He received 16 Test cricket caps over a three-year span, earning two centuries.
In addition, he now holds the record for the most sixes in an ODI innings with 17, which he hit against Afghanistan at the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.
He was awarded a CBE in 2020 for his contributions to cricket.

Morgan, who began his international career with Ireland and participated in 23 One-Day Internationals there from 2006 to 2009, commented on the situation, saying: “After great thought and consideration, I am here to announce my retirement from international cricket with immediate effect.

“It hasn’t been a simple choice to end what has without a doubt been the most joyful and fulfilling chapter of my career, but I think the time is right to do so, both for me personally and for both England white-ball teams I have led up until this point.”

In the meanwhile, England Men’s Cricket Managing Director Rob Key issued the following statement: “I’d want to congratulate Eoin Morgan for his great commitment to the game on behalf of the ECB and everyone involved in cricket.

It would be incorrect to believe that Eoin’s legacy was limited to his team’s World Cup victory in 2019; it was much more than that.

The official continued by saying that, like all great players and leaders, he has altered the way this particular game has been played as well as how future generations will play it.

“For many years to come, his impact on the game will be felt. Without a doubt, he is the finest leader I have ever observed. I hope he has a successful future in his career “Added he.

Regarding his accomplishments, the great player acknowledged that he had the good fortune to be a part of two World Cup-winning squads, but added that he thought England’s white-ball teams’ future was “brighter than ever.”

“We have greater strength, depth, and experience than ever before. I am quite excited to observe and look forward to it.

“I will continue to enjoy playing at a domestic level while I can, regardless of what lies ahead for me. I’m excited to participate in and serve as captain of London Spirit in this year’s second The Hundred.
