ASIA CUP TEAM PREVIEW Yasim Murtaza will hope to give Hong Kong one major scalp in the group stages. © Getty The Asia Cup is no new frontier for Hong Kong but it has been one they haven’t been able to crack with all five of their appearances ending in first-round exits. Hong Kong confirmed their spot in this year’s competition after edging past a favoured Nepal side in the third-place playoff of the 2024 ACC Men’s Premier Cup. That was over a year ago and in the interim, winds of change have blown through Hong Kong’s setup – at…
After crushing Afghanistan in the tri-nation series final on Sunday, Pakistan’s T20I captain, Salman Ali Agha, took to X and announced he will be donating his earnings from the tournament to flood victims back home. He said he is joined by star bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi, who will be doing the same. The green shirts pummelled the Afghan side on Sunday, when Pakistan’s second-inning bowling attack saw Muhammad Nawaz take five wickets, pushing the team to a comfortable 75-run triumph. Shaheen, who bowled two overs, also took a wicket while only conceding seven runs. On August 30, Peshawar’s Imran Khan…
CPL 2025 Naseem Shah defended 11 in the final over to give SNP the win. © Getty St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots injected life into their CPL 2025 campaign with a tight, five-run win against another top-four aspirant Guyana Amazon Warriors. Mohammad Rizwan set the Patriots up with a 62-ball 85, but his run out in the final over left the batting side with an under-par total of 149. The Patriots’ bowlers performed in unison to drag the chase till the very last over, where Naseem Shah successfully defended 11 runs. The chase was still on a knife’s edge when…
Carlos Alcaraz beat Jannik Sinner in four sets on Sunday to win the US Open and reassert his dominance of an era-defining rivalry in a final delayed by the visit of United States President Donald Trump. The 22-year-old Alcaraz won 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to capture his second US Open crown and sixth Grand Slam title, avenging his lone defeat in a major final by Sinner at Wimbledon in July. “It’s a great feeling. I’m working really hard just to lift this trophy. It’s my second one but it’s still a dream come true,” said Alcaraz. Alcaraz will reclaim the…
ASIA CUP BUILD-UP Mohammad Nawaz claimed a superb 5/19 in Pakistan’s win. © Getty Left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz picked a scintillating five-fer – including a hat-trick – while Sufiyan Muqeem and Abrar Ahmed bagged two each as Pakistan routed Afghanistan on their way to the tri-series title victory. In a game where 29.5 overs of spin was bowled – the second-most in a men’s T20I featuring full-member teams, Afghanistan were bundled out for 66 in chase of Pakistan’s 141/8 in Sharjah.
