A round-up of all the matches from the West Zone leg of the inter-state T20 matches on January 30, 2017

ESPNcricinfo staff30-Jan-2017Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 79 helped Mumbai beat Gujarat to register their second win in the west zone leg of the inter-state T20 competition for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Mumbai breezed to their 132-run target with five wickets in hand and ten balls to spare.Iyer, who opened the innings, hit six fours and four sixes. He put on 42 for the first wicket with Ajinkya Rahane, who struck a 30-ball 25. Although Mumbai slipped to 112 for 5, Iyer’s blazing start meant they were always ahead of the asking rate. Earlier in the day, Rujul Bhatt top-scored with 47 in Gujarat’s 131 for 9. Pravin Tambe, the 45-year old legspinner, took 2 for 19 off four overs. Gujarat now have one win in two matches.File photo – Ankit Bawne top-scored for the second successive game for Maharashtra•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Maharashtra bounced back from their loss to Gujarat on Sunday by beating Saurashtra by 15 runs in their second league fixture. Ankit Bawne, who made an unbeaten 90 in the first game, top-scored with 71 in Maharashtra’s 165 for 9. Saurashtra looked down and out at 86 for 8, but were revived courtesy Prerak Mankad’s counterattack. The allrounder struck three fours and five sixes in his 46-ball 72 before falling off the last ball of the innings, to fast bowler Anupam Sanklecha, who finished with 2 for 20 off four overs. Saurashtra fast bowler Shaurya Sanandia finished with a four-wicket haul in a losing cause. Cheteshwar Pujara, who opened the innings, was out for 4.

India sealed a 20-run win over England in Colombo, their third consecutive win of the triangular U-19s tournament guaranteeing them a place in the final.After choosing to bat, captain Rishabh Pant led India’s batting effort with a brisk 71 at the start. He put on a 113-run opening stand with Himanshu Rana, who also scored a fifty. Nos. 3 and 4 Ricky Bhui and Virat Singh then added a 52-run partnership after the openers were dismissed. India faltered in their death overs, as they were bowled out for 261 from the last ball of the innings, having been 209 for 4 after 40 overs.Dan Lawrence gave a strong start to the England chase, smashing nine fours in his 51-ball 55. George Bartlett and Max Holden added 63 for the sixth wicket after England lost three quick wickets in the middle overs. England’s chase went downhill soon after Bartlett fell for 70 in the 44th over, as Rahul Batham and Mayank Dagar wrapped up England’s innings for 241, picking up three wickets apiece.England have now lost three in a row at the competition and must hope for India to beat Sri Lanka in their next match to retain slim hopes of reaching the final.

There will be more delays in the submission of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit report on alleged cricket corruption in the Bangladesh Premier League, according to BCB president Nazmul Hassan

ESPNcricinfo staff16-Jun-2013There will be more delays in the submission of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit report on alleged cricket corruption in the Bangladesh Premier League, according to BCB president Nazmul Hassan.The last time he spoke to the media on June 4, he had said that the report would be available within “five or six days”, but the ACSU officials reportedly visited Dhaka last week too, and were continuing their investigation.”As far as I know the ACSU left the country on Thursday [June 13],” Hassan told the Dhaka-based the . “They could not meet me since I wasn’t in the country but I have been told that it will take one more week for them to submit the report.”I don’t know how they are going to send the report to us. The ICC AGM will take place on June 23 in the UK, so I might get it then.”Hassan speculated that there might have been more developments in the ACSU inquiry, because they did conduct one more interview after June 4.”The last time they told me that they would conduct one more interview in Dubai.” he said. “They said that in case they did not find anything new they would submit the report soon.”But they must have found some new information or else why would they come to Dhaka again? I’ll be better informed regarding the issue in the coming days.” he said.

Bangladesh have named Shane Jurgensen – their bowling coach – as their interim head coach

ESPNcricinfo staff12-May-2012Bangladesh have named Shane Jurgensen – their bowling coach – as their interim head coach. The decision was made at the board’s cricket operations committee meeting during which the national team’s proposed tours of Zimbabwe and Europe in the next two months and playing a Twenty20 tournament in Trinidad and Tobago later in the year were also discussed.”Our bowling coach Shane Jurgensen will look after the national team as interim head coach until we appoint our next head coach,” Enayet Hossain Siraj, chairman of the cricket operations committee, said.Jurgensen, 36, a former Queensland fast bowler, joined Bangladesh as their bowling coach in October last year. The Bangladesh Cricket Board, though, hopes Richard Pybus joins the team as the full-time head coach; Pybus returned to Cape Town on Friday after a short visit to Bangladesh. “Now we will wait for his (Richard Pybus) confirmation. We will invite the other candidates in the shortlist, if only we ultimately fail to sign the agreement with Pybus,” the BCB media committee chairman Jalal Yunis said.Pybus said his visit was a “fact-finding” mission and that he will make his final decision after speaking with his family.The board has also organised a training camp from May 20 to prepare for a tri-series against Zimbabwe and South Africa starting in Harare in late June. At the end of July, Bangladesh are likely to travel to Ireland and Scotland to play some limited-overs matches before to the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka in September.”We have also decided to give our proposal regarding the Zimbabwe and Ireland trips to the board for their approval,” Siraj said. “We are desperately trying to arrange some international matches for our national team.”

Kane Williamson posted his first century for Gloucestershire on a rain interrupted opening day in the County Championship Division Two match against Leicestershire at Grace Road

Kane Williamson posted his first century for Gloucestershire on a rain interrupted opening day in the County Championship Division Two match against Leicestershire at Grace Road.Gloucestershire, who lost a wicket to the second ball of the day without a run on the board, recovered to reach the close at 177 for 3 – with New Zealand Test batsman Williamson unbeaten on 102.Williamson’s top score in his first two Championship games for Gloucestershire was a modest 26, but he cruised past that in some style reaching his century off 152 balls with 17 boundaries. He shared partnerships of 75 with Richard Coughtrie for the second wicket and then 89 with Alex Gidman for the fourth wicket to steer Gloucestershire into a strong position.On what looked an excellent pitch Gloucestershire had no hesitation batting first after winning the toss. But they were stunned by an immediate strike from Matthew Hoggard. The Leicestershire captain’s second delivery of his first over found the edge of Ian Cockbain’s bat as he pushed outside the off stump to provide wicketkeeper Paul Dixey with a regulation catch.There was some movement for the Leicestershire seamers in the early overs and Williamson was fortunate on occasions when he edged wide of the slips and down to the vacant third man boundary.It kept the scoreboard ticking over and a perfectly timed cover drive by Williamson off Nadeem Malik brought up a 50 partnership with Coughtrie. However, Gloucestershire’s progress was halted by rain 25 minutes before the lunch interval – and when play resumed two hours later 12 overs had been lost.The interruption also brought a chance of fortune for Leicestershire with Hoggard sending Coughtrie’s middle stump cartwheeling with an inswinging yorker in his first over after the break, ending a second wicket stand of 75 runs in 27 overs.Another stoppage for rain followed two overs later with Gloucestershire on 84 for 2 – and this time it was nearly two and a half hours before the teams returned to the field in glorious evening sunshine.Once again however Leicestershire claimed a wicket in the first over on the restart with Chris Taylor bowled by Malik off an inside edge. But Williamson cover drove the same bowler to the rope to reach his half century off 94 balls, with 44 of the runs coming in boundaries.The New Zealander then cut loose with some fluent attacking shots. His second 50 came off 58 balls, with his 17th boundary coming off the first ball of the final over of the day from Claude Henderson.Gidman provided fine support and was still there at the close on 32 with the stand worth 89 runs in 22 overs.

Centuries by Hampshire left-handers Jimmy Adams and Michael Carberry turned the Clydesdale Bank 40 formbook upside down at Edgbaston. After five straight wins, Warwickshire surrendered their 100% record in a crushing 130-run defeat by a side who had lost their first four games in Group C.With Carberry setting the pace in a 64-ball dash to three figures, Hampshire piled up 341 for 6 – the highest total conceded by Warwickshire in 40-over cricket – and then bowled out the home side for 211 in the 32nd over.Boyd Rankin’s bowling figures of 2 for 32 in four overs hid the scale of Warwickshire’s hammering. He might normally have been happy to dismiss the opening pair – except that his wickets were 331 runs apart.Michael Lumb’s first county innings since winning the ICC World Twenty20 with England ended with a catch at point from Rankin’s second ball but Adams stayed until the last over when he was bowled for 131.A head-up swing across the line with two balls to go was entirely forgivable. The former British Universities captain sensibly allowed Carberry to lead the initial charge and then set his own agenda in accelerating to his first one-day hundred in 85 balls.After a relatively modest start, Hampshire lit the turbocharger as Carberry crashed eight fours and a six in a sequence of 12 deliveries from Rankin, Neil Carter and Keith Barker.
The partnership with Adams built up to 168 in 19.5 overs before Carberry holed out at deep mid-wicket after making 82 of his 103 in boundaries.Sean Ervine made his first contribution in a fine all-round display with 48 from 29 balls before he was stumped off Ian Westwood and Adams’ onslaught included nine fours and four sixes, two of which landed in the construction site for the new pavilion.When Warwickshire began their run-chase, Jonathan Trott’s half-century gave them a glimmer of hope. The England batsman shared a stand of 47 with Carter (20), but wickets began to fall regularly after they had reached 100 in the 12th over.Ian Bell played beautifully for 41 from 24 balls, only to get out to a premeditated shot, lapping to Carberry at short fine leg for Ervine’s first success in a spell of 4 for 39.
The medium-pacer also had Trott caught at long on for 60 and left arm spinner Rangana Herath (two for 28) applied further pressure as Warwickshire lost for the first time in 17 games in 40-over competitions.

Derbyshire go down by an innings despite resistance from Harry Came, Wayne Madsen

ECB Reporters Network01-Sep-2024Sussex took a firm grip on the second division of the Vitality Championship when they defeated Derbyshire by an innings and 59 runs, their sixth win of the season. They took a maximum haul of 24 points as they placed more daylight between themselves and their pursuers and with two of their last the games at home they are now clear favourites to win the title.Their undoubted star was offspinner Jack Carson, who followed his innings of 97 with match figures of 11 for 157, the biggest return of his career. His second-innings figures of 6 for 67 was another best. He has taken 20 wickets in his past two games, following his nine in last week’s defeat to Yorkshire at Scarborough.After brave resistance from Harry Came and Wayne Madsen, Derbyshire lost their last eight wickets for 54 runs in just 25 overs. And this match represented a cruel return to normal form following their heavy defeat of GlamorganDerbyshire started the final morning on 141 for 2, still needing 176 runs to make Sussex bat again, with Came 54 not out and Madsen unbeaten on 31.For almost 90 minutes there was an intriguing battle between bat and ball, with Sussex captain John Simpson switching his bowlers thoughtfully, in an attempt to both conserve their energy in the warm sunshine and also to disrupt the immense concentration of Derbyshire’s third-wicket pair. It looked like being Derbyshire’s morning. But then, at 196 for 2, the new ball became available and there was a new match to contemplate.Simpson decided to give the new ball to Fynn Hudson-Prentice and – bowling from his favourite Cromwell Road End – Ollie Robinson. But, after two ineffectual overs from Hudson-Prentice, Simpson replaced him with Jaydev Unadkat, for his first bowl from the Sea End. And Unadkat immediately turned the match towards Sussex with two wicket maidens.With the fourth delivery of his opening over he had Madsen caught by Tom Haines, the more square of the two gullies beside the two slips. Madsen had faced 149 balls and hit ten fours in his 77. He had also batted for five minutes under three hours, to add to the five hours and 12 minutes for his first innings 138.Then, with the second ball of his second over, Unadkat struck again, this time having Derbyshire captain David Lloyd caught low down behind the wicket by Simpson. At lunch Derbyshire were 208 for 4, still 109 runs behind.When Carson replaced Unadkat at 230 for 4 the pressure appeared to be coming off. But in his second over the spinner ended Came’s long vigil when he had the batsman caught at slip by Haines. His 79 had occupied three minutes less than six hours and he had faced 273 balls. And at 251 the same combination accounted for Zak Chappell, with Haines taking his third catch of the innings.Aneurin Donald decided to play his shots, which is the game he knows best. But in Carson’s next over he was caught at backward square leg, as he swept towards the short boundary on the east side of the ground, and Derbyshire looked broken at 252 for 7. Without addition, Jack Morley was caught behind off Carson, his tenth wicket in the match.Four runs later Carson had Daryn Dupavillon caught at bat-pad and finally Anuj Dal, batting heroically with hand and groin injuries, after also being struck on the head, was bowled by Henry Crocombe.

They will face Western Australia in the final in a bid to end their 11-year trophy drought

AAP26-Feb-2023South Australia are just one win away from ending their 11-year trophy drought after a one-sided eight-wicket win over Victoria put them into the domestic One-Day Cup final.They turned around a heavy defeat against Victoria in this week’s Sheffield Shield match to ease to victory with 24 overs to spare in Adelaide on Sunday.The final-round contest between the two second-placed sides had a ticket to the March 8 final on offer, but Victoria’s hopes dipped early on at 6 for 97, and they were eventually bowled out for 136.South Australia cruised to a bonus-point success on the back of a 116-run opening-wicket stand between Henry Hunt (63) and Jake Carder (49).Awaiting them are a Western Australian side looking to repeat last year’s rare feat of winning both state domestic honours.Despite two defeats against Western Australia in this year’s 50-over competition, South Australia’s new skipper Jake Lehmann says the holders are not to be feared.”We are so excited about the opportunity to go over there and take them on,” he said. “Winning against WA in WA is obviously going to be tough, but it is an amazing opportunity.”We want to take our positive way of playing and positive vibes up to them and hopefully we can come up with a first win for South Australia in some 10 years, so there is nothing but excitement in our [dressing] room.”There is no one that is scared or intimidated by WA. They are a good outfit but we just need to play the best we can,” added Lehmann, who only assumed the captaincy before this match after Hunt elected to concentrate on his batting.South Australia’s performance was again marked by a strong bowling display, with six different wicket-takers.Heading the field was Nathan McAndrew, while new face Spencer Johnson impressed again following his recent Shield debut.”Our bowlers didn’t miss all day and credit to them where credit is due,” Lehmann said. “The momentum is there and we just have to keep riding that wave.”It was a surprisingly limp display from a Victoria side that had enjoyed a series of gaping wins in both forms of domestic cricket.Victoria lined up with two debutants in opener Tom Rogers and spinner Tom O’Donnell, son of former limited-overs star Simon O’Donnell.Only James Seymour (51) impressed with the bat for Victoria, while legspinner Ruwantha Kellepotha picked up both South Australia wickets to fall.

Logistical challenges around Covid mean there are “lots of parts to the jigsaw” for England coach

Alan Gardner17-Jan-2022England’s attempts to regain the Women’s Ashes and defend their 50-over World Cup title during the same winter trip to the southern hemisphere have already taken in a series of logistical challenges, with head coach Lisa Keightley admitting that there are “lots of parts of the jigsaw” still to piece together ahead of the T20I leg starting later this week.The schedule for the Ashes was rearranged earlier this month, with the T20Is moved forward in order to accommodate the quarantine requirements for getting into New Zealand for the World Cup, which begins on March 4. That has left England with just eight days of preparation, with patchy weather in Canberra affecting the squad’s ability to train and off-field concerns adding to the list of distractions.England had to leave a support staff member behind when they departed for Adelaide on Monday due to a positive Covid-19 test, and there are fears on both sides about how the virus could affect their respective World Cup campaigns. The England and Australia squads are due to arrive in New Zealand on February 10, just two days after the completion of the Ashes, and under current guidelines they must enter the country as one group before doing 10 days of quarantine.Related

With three T20Is, a Test match and three ODIs to be played in just two-and-a-half weeks, Keightley said that rest and rotation was likely to be a factor throughout the Ashes.”There’s a lot of parts of the jigsaw this trip,” she said. “Firstly, we’ve got to see how everyone pulls up each game. I think that’s most important. Second, we’ve sometimes got different players for different formats. So there’s some players potentially getting ready for a Test match now, where other players – we’ve got a selection meeting coming up tonight, before the first [T20I], where we’ve got to make some big decisions.”We’ll be thinking about the World Cup throughout this Ashes. And I think Australia will be too. Yes, we will be concerned that we don’t get injuries and we’ve got full squads to select from, so that will be on the forefront of our mind coming into the back end of the Ashes. We know we’ve got a 10-day quarantine where you don’t want a key player to have injuries because they can’t be treated throughout that 10 days. So there’s a lot of things and sometimes we just have to wait and see how it’s all panning out.”Perfect world they’re all fit come the end and we can select our best team for every game. That’s what we’ll be planning to do, but I’m not hiding away that we do think about, gosh, we want our full squad to be available for the World Cup. That’s for sure. Especially when we’re the holders of it and we want to defend the title.”Mental well-being will also be high on the agenda, with the touring party already having effectively isolated within their households for two weeks before departing for Australia, where bio-security restrictions were tightened while England were in transit.”I really do hold my hand up if someone is in that space and we need to think of their mental health, the cricket comes second,” Keightley said. “We’re trying to look after our staff and players the best we can. We treat them all individually and I think what I’ve learned on this journey of Covid is that everyone’s bucket gets full at different times and you can’t pick it. You think one day they’re okay and you can talk to them two days later and they’re not coping so it is a challenge.”It’s a challenge in sporting teams, and being an athlete over the last 18 months. But we do try our best, we’ve got a fantastic medical support staff who do everything they can to make sure we’re all okay. But it is challenging being in coaching this time as there’s so many moving parts.”From a playing perspective, England’s build-up has been far from perfect (when they have been able to get out on to the field). Three intra-squad practice games were held in Canberra over the weekend – a 35-over fixture that was rain-affected, and two T20s – with England being beaten by England A on all three occasions.Heather Knight, England’s captain, had previously described the squad’s preparation as “pretty average”, with players forced to rope in family members for help with practice in the period before flying out, and Keightley echoed the view that there was work to be done.”I wouldn’t say we’ve started that well, to be totally honest,” Keightley said. “We’re trying to get up to speed as best we can.”With Covid you’ve got to be flexible. You’ve got to change and adapt. We’ve learned that over the last couple of years. We’ve got a really big couple of training [sessions] coming up over the next two days that we’ve got to get right. We’ve got to get the players hitting the ball well and bowling in good areas and sharpening up.”I think the [warm-up] T20s, they were trying to go too early. They wanted to click, wanted to get off and going really well in the practice matches, [but] they probably didn’t do the basics first. Then expand, get up and down, hit the ball in the middle and then go and then build from there. They probably went too early, which didn’t play out that well for us, but they know what they need to do.”We’ve got two good trainings prepped over the next couple of days. So I’m confident when we get to that first T20 they’ll be in a better place than what they are now and we’ll do our best to go 2-0 up.”Having originally planned for the one-off Test in Canberra to be the series opener, Keightley said that adapting mentally would be the key to getting off to a good start in the T20Is. England will also hope early success can help “dim the flame” of Australian expectation, after the men completed a thumping 4-0 victory in their version of the Ashes at the weekend.”I know Australia is very excited about winning the Ashes and we’ve got to turn it around and try and dim the flame, so to speak, and get a few wins on the board and put them under pressure, and get into our Ashes as quick as we can.”
