Set a revised target of 170 after a brief rain interruption, Bangladesh won the match with 23 balls to spare. Sent in to bat, India's batting wilted under pressure as a superb Bangladesh bowling attack shot the defending champions out for a paltry 177 in 47.2 overs.Yasashvi Jaiswal (88 off 121 balls) was once again a standout performer but not for once did he look like dominating the Bangladesh bowling unit whose new ball bowlers Shoriful Islam (2/31 in 10 overs) and Tanzim Hasan Shakib (2/28 in 8.2 overs) literally stifled the Indians for runs.The third seamer Avishek Das (3/40 in 9 overs) was the most successful bowler in terms of figures but it was Shoriful's first spell with channelised aggression that put the Indians on the back-foot from the onset.After a short rain break towards the end, the target was revised to 170 from 46 runs but Bangladesh reached 170 for 7 in 42.1 overs to win the match.Opener Parvez Hossain Emon top-scored for Bangladesh with a 79-ball 47 while captain and wicketkeeper Akbar Ali was not out on 43 from 77 deliveries.For the India U-19 side, Ravi Bishnoi was the most successful bowler with figures of 4/30 while Sushant Mishra had 2/25.India thus missed out on a record fifth title in their seventh final appearance.

MUMBAI: Cricket Australia (CA) chairman Earl Eddings wrote a letter to the International Cricket Council's Financial and Trade Affairs Committee (F&CA) requesting that Australia be allowed to host the 2021 World Cup T20, instead of 2020.By doing this, Eddings and CA have reiterated that they will not be in a position to organize the 2020 version of the tournament, scheduled for October 18 to November 15. Indeed, the Eddings letter specifically requests that Australia be allowed to host the 2021 version instead of 2022, given multiple commercials at stake.The email, which was sent by Eddings (TOI owns this message), was flagged only for members of the Financial & Commercial Affairs Commission (F&CA). The CA chair is also a member of the panel, while BCCI is not part of this committee. F&CA is chaired by the president of Pakistan Cricket Council, Ehsan Mani, who was promoted to the presidency after former BCCI president Shashank Manohar took over the board. TOI understands that CA sent this message more than a week ago.Boards say they are fascinated by the ICC statement given that the CA has made its position very clear: it does not expect the 2020 event to be organized.“Why does the ICC not acknowledge that they have a letter from the CA chief? These are things that give the administration a bad name. As they said (CPI),” the current president (Manohar) confirmed is not looking for an extension. About your state. "Is this the whole truth?" Say the sources that follow developments.Eddings' shared concern in the message is his stated view that "it would be harmful to cricket if the cancellation of the" Australian event "(this year's T20 World Cup) is replaced by the award of the T20 World Cup in October 2022".Eddings message says: “Fortunately, Australia has succeeded in“ Curve (Covid) ”, which means there is more certainty of being able to play in Australia in 2021 (which is essential to maintaining membership distribution). It will give India a year Another is to solve any of the issues related to Covid, "stressing that India should host the 2022 event.Cricket Australia says it has invested heavily in the last women's T20 to "make it a success" and has spent a lot of money marketing the event. Given the current financial burden, CA adds that there will be no guarantee for continued government support in 2022 that has agreed to pay $ 4.5 million to tourism partner rights.Will India agree to host the 2022 event?As long as BCCI hosts the IPL every year and its bilateral obligations are respected in the country, India will lose little. "The proceeds of the ICC event are not actually compared to the stakes that the T20 League Chamber of Commerce and all other international cockroaches have at home. So if India really wants to provide service to Australia, why not?" Say developments follow. Ultimately, it is bound to be a political rather than a commercial decision, given that financial stakeholders have little or no profit in the negotiations.What's in store on Thursday?With the ICC stressing that chairman Shashank Manohar will not seek to extend his term and documents drafted for nominations after understanding between members, the only other agenda item other than discussing the T20 World Cup is deciding the election date. Sources say, "Technically, the deadline for nominations will be about two weeks after ratification, which is Thursday. Therefore, elections can be held in late June or early July." From now until the next elections, he expected the T20 World Cup to continue and be a "political debate".Article Source: timesofindiaRead More: How to reschedule T20 World Cup?

CSK VS DC IPL 2020The Chennai Super Kings will face the Delhi Capitals in the seventh match of the Indian Premier League 2020. The match will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and is scheduled to start at 6:00 pm local time. Both CSK and DC have a lot of firepower in their teams, but somehow they didn't live up to their expectations. As for CSK, apart from Faf Du Plessis and AmbatiRayudu, they haven't managed to make an imprint in the tournament yet. The same goes for the capitals of Delhi, which despite winning their match against the 11th Kings, Punjab, were not at their best. There were some good shots from Shreyas Iyer and Marcus Stoinis, but neither happened for a big shot. However, Mohamed Al Shami's performance on the ball will bring a break for the Delhi Capitals. The game is expected to end on a tightrope with CSK gaining a slight advantage due to his experience in the batting order.CSK 14 -6 won the record over Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League and will look to continue his streak. However, the capitals of Delhi cannot be ruled out because they also have a great squad that, in their day, can blow their opponents away.CSK vs DC IPL 2020 Live streamingTV Channels: Fox Sports, Kayo Sports, Sky Sports, SuperSports, BeIN Sports, Start Sports 1, Star Sports 1 HD, Star Sports Select, Star Sports Select HD.Live Broadcasting: Hotstar. Fans from Australia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, continental Europe (excluding the UK and Ireland), South and Central America, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia (excluding Singapore) can watch the live broadcast on YuppTv.Predict launchThe field can go either way, but the team that wins the field must look to run on the board. The second-ranked teams struggled to be chased in the field.Weather reportThe weather in Dubai is expected to sweat players, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius.Toss PredictionThe match will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. Dubai Stadium provided some assistance to pacemakers with the new ball and is expected to play the same. Hitting wasn’t that easy on the ground with teams that settled on around 150 in previous matches. Any result above the 160 marks in this area should be difficult for the opponent.Read More: Top 10 Fantasy Cricket Websites in IndiaChennai Super Kings Team News & Playing 11Chennai Super Kings Team NewsAmbati Rayudo missed the match against the Rajasthan Royals, but he is expected to return to the team for the next match. It would be a big boost for the Chennai team who sweat the hitter look. Aside from him, Faf du Plessis' figure is also a positive sign for Chennai Super Kings. However, players cannot win your matches and CSK needs players like Shane Watson, Kedar Jadhav and MS Dhoni to do well in the upcoming matches.For Chennai, their players were the strongest midfielders, but RR hitter brought them to the cleaners in the previous match. MS Dhoni can bring Imran Tahir in place of Lungi Ngidi and Shardul Thakur can replace Piyush Chawla.Chennai Super Kings Key PlayersFaf du Plessis: Faf had a great touch in both of their matches. Once again, you will have the Chennai key in the middle order. He is a skilled player at turning the shot and can hit hard when necessary. With Ashwin and Axar Patel on the DC squad, he's a key figure in CSK's hit squad.Shane Watson: Shane Watson is one of those players who won't beat you in matches on a regular basis, but in his day, he can only defeat an opponent. Watson looked good at the previous game, as we assume a big shot is pretty close.Deepak Chahar – Deepak Chahar has been great in Chennai for the past few seasons. MS Dhoni trusts the shooter and almost every time he delivers his captain. It will be important for the new ball.Chennai Super Kings Team FormChennai started their tournament with a win against Mumbai Indians but was outplayed by Rajasthan Royals in their last game.Chennai Super Kings Predicted Playing 11Murali Vijay, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Shardul ThakurDelhi Capitals Team News & Playing 11Delhi Capitals Team NewsDelhi Capitals started their tournament with a spooky victory over Kings XI Punjab in their debut match of the 2020 IPL Championship, they were good at the match but definitely not at their best. Players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer started out but couldn't make it big. Shikhar Dhawan Road and Prithvi Shaw will also give headaches to Delhi capitals. Marcus Stones did well, but his fortitude is always in question. One positive thing for DC is their bowling that looks pretty settled with Rabada and AnrichNortje bowling splendidly. Axar Patel too had a fabulous game against Punjab. The only change that could be expected from them is Mohit Sharma being replaced by either Ishant Sharma or Avesh KhanDelhi Capitals Key PlayersPrithvi Shaw: Prithvi Shaw couldn't deliver the score in their final game, but we all know how devastating the opening matches can be. With this kind of attack on Chennai, Pretty Show will definitely envision himself achieving a great result.Shekhar Dhawan: Dhawan will also be excited to be participating in the tournament. He didn't have enough time to curl in his last game, but he is hoping for a big hit against the Chennai Super Kings.• Kagiso Rabada: Rabada could become a trump card for DC with its extra speed. The Chennai beginners have been fighting at a real pace and Rapada definitely poses a huge threat to them with the new. With the old ball too, he has the skills to stop the flow of running in death situations.Delhi Capitals Team FormDelhi’s first game ended in a tie but the Capitals held their nerves to emerge victorious in the Super OverDelhi Capitals Predicted Playing 11Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shimron Hetmyer, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravi Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ishant SharmaChennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals PredictionBoth teams have a strong team but Chennai just have a slight advantage over Delhi due to their vast experience teamCSK vs DC Dream11 PredictionWicket-keeper: MS Dhoni is not at his best, which makes picking goalkeepers easy. Rishabh Pant with a score of 9.5 is the most viable option for his team.Batsmen: You need players who can play big hits on your team. Shreyas Iyer has been at its best lately at 9.5 and it's one of my top picks. Shekhar Duan is 10 years old another hitter you don't want to miss. From Chennai, the choice is very simple. It should be one of the Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, or both.You can also pick Shane Watson with 9.5 points as on his day; It will give you a lot of cool points.All-rounders: You have a lot to choose from in the off-road division with players like Sam Curran (8.5 credits), Marcus Stones in (8.5), Ravindra Jadeja in (9), and Axar Patel (8.5) in competition. You can also go to the Dwayne Bravo, but it's a risky option because you don't know if it's fit to play and bowling.Bowlers: In the bowling section, you can choose KagisoRabada in 9.0 with Deepak Chahar in 8.5. Imran Taher is also likely to play and can reach his team with 9.5 pointsCaptain/Vice-captain: As for the leader, Faf du Plessis could be a good choice with Shreyas Iyer. For Vice Captain, you can go to Shikhar Dhawan or Shane Watson because they are two great players. Read More : Dream11 IPL 2020- Location, Sponsers, Logo, Schedule, Squads, Prize Money

SRH VS DC Dream11 IPL 2020 PredictionDelhi Capitals will look completing the unfinished business and close their place In the supplement when they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in a crucial match in the Indian Premier League today. Two consecutive losses against Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab would hurt, but DC needs to take the band aid off and score two points to take their tally to 16, which will lift them to the top of the table. On the other hand, the Sunrisers hopes of conducting the qualifiers are pinned by a thread. David Warner and his men are second to last, with eight points from 11 startups. To reach the qualifiers, they must win the remaining three matches and hope that all other results go well. Capitals have an explosive striking division as well as an enormous bowling unit. They did not count on anyone, as different players raised their hands at different times to deliver goods to the team. The South African rhythm duo by Kagiso Rabada (23 wicket) and Anrich Nortje(14) was exceptional. Tushar Deshpande and Ravichandran Ashwin have performed irregularly in recent matches, while Axar Patel has done a good job putting down rival teams.Sunrisers is heading towards clash after a frustrating defeat. Chasing a modest 127 against KXIP, the complexion of the game changed after dismissal of Warner and Jonny Bairstow in quick succession. The former Champions have lost five wickets in their last two matches to suffer a humiliating defeat. The team relies heavily on its combat unit, primarily on Bairstow, Warner and Manish Pandey. Vijay Shankar did well in the victory over the Rajasthan Royals, but was unable to repeat his performance against KXIP. The bowling unit beefed up with the inclusion of Jason Holder was impressive in the previous match and the Warner captain desperately hopes they make a similar bid against Delhi. Army Orange will also rely on the fact that they beat Delhi earlier in the tournament.SRH VS DC Fantasy Tips Jonny Bairstow, Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane, David Warner (VC), Shreyas Iyer, Priyam Garg, Kagiso Rabada, Jason Holder, T Natarajan, Rashid Khan and Ravi Ashwin (C).

Impressive counterpunches from Ken Williamson (67) and Abdul Samad (33) threatened to destroy the hopes of the Delhi Capitals, but the timely firing of Stoinis for the Kiwi hitter put him in his favor. The Capitals will now challenge the Indians in Mumbai for the title on Tuesday, having lost to them in their first qualifiers.Shikhar Dhawan in his form broke 78 out of 49 balls to help the Capitals score 189 challenges out of three after choosing to hit.

Rapada eliminated dangerous player David Warner - 2 - with his first balls to give the capital the start he wanted.Manish Pandey - 21 - and Priyam Garg - 17 - hit the ball beautifully and confidently in their small 31-round position, but Stoinis shot them in the space of three balls. All three windows were within five behind the SRH. The Delhi spinning duo of Aksar Patel and Praveen Dube also played well while maintaining control of the actions.Williamson and Jason Holder kept one or two strokes and odd strokes.

Injured Eric Bailey replaced Harry Maguire at the center of defense, and the United captain was surprisingly among the substitutes despite suffering an ankle ligament injury two weeks ago.De Gea started to lead ahead of Dean Henderson on goal, while Paul Pogba played a more traditional role in midfield as Fred was deemed fit enough to have a seat on the bench.An early collision between Juan Foyth and Pogba caused a bloodshot injury to the former Tottenham defender, but both sides were slow to press ahead on a cold, wet night on the Baltic coast.Rapona's brilliant cross by Carlos Bacca created an opportunity for Pau Torres, the center back with a linked summer pass to Man United, while Marcus Rashford Jeronimo Rulli tested with immersion effort from a distance.Jeremy Pino, who broke Iker Casillas' record as the youngest Spanish player to start a major European final, at 18 years and 218 days, veered against him, but Villarreal quickly got ahead of him.Danny Parejo hit a free-kick from the left flank and Moreno ran away from Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof, bypassing De Gea while the Swede tightened his shirt tight.Moreno equalized the 82nd goal in Villarreal, the club's record for ex-Manchester United striker Giuseppe Rossi.But it also sparked a reaction from United, as fighter Scott McTominay saw his shot derailed before Mason Greenwood stormed the area and sent a powerful cross that Raul Albiol almost hit his net.Another free-kick from Parejo caused panic in the United area just after the break, with Mano Trejoeros sending a cross into the goal before clearing the ball with Moreno and Carlos Bacca in dangerously lurking.Maybe Alfonso Pedraza was lucky because no further action was taken when he appeared to be hunting Greenwood in the Villarreal area, even though United took advantage of a stroke of luck.And a header fell from a corner kick in front of Rashford, whose air volley slipped through Cavani went into the net with Rowley unable to recover after anticipating the first shot.It was Uruguay's sixth goal in the competition this season, and all of that in their last four matches, one that gave United the momentum.Bruno Fernandez hit the ball wide while Cavani tried unsuccessfully to quickly reset the ball, then the striker headed straight for Torres with a missed shot from Shaw.United continued to control the ball as Villarreal absorbed the pressure, but the Spaniards remained a threat as Torres gathered at the end of organizational time.Alberto Moreno cut wide as United got tired, prompting Solskjaer to make his first changeover 100 minutes later when Fred replaced Greenwood.The first 21 penalties were converted successfully before Rolle refused De Gea's bid as United lost for the sixth time in seven sets, giving Emery their fourth European League title.Also read: FIFA Club World Cup 2020-21: Teams, fixtures, dates & where will it take place FIFA U-17 Womens World Cup To Be Held In India In Oct 22: FIFA

Delhi Capitals will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 33 of the IPL 2021 on Wednesday. In their previous match, Delhi Capitals held their nerves in a super over contest against Sunrisers Hyderabad for the win. Shreyas Iyer, who missed the first leg of the IPL due to injury, is back in the team, but Rishabh Pant will continue his role as captain in the second leg as well. They currently hold the second spot in the standings with 12 points.On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad had a lean patch in the first half of the IPL. They removed David Warner from the captaincy role, but even that decision did not favour them. They managed to win only one of their 7 matches in the first leg. They are currently sitting at the bottom of the table with only two points on their bankMatch Details:Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Match 33Venue:Dubai International Cricket Stadium, DubaiDate & Time: September 22nd at 7:30 PM IST, and at 6:00 PM local timeLive Streaming:Star Sports Network and Disney+HotstarPitch Report:It’s a good sporting wicket where quick bowlers will get maximum assistance from the surface in the powerplay.

The opening batsman, affectionately known as ‘Gabbar’, has scored 380 runs in 8 matches so far in this IPL at an average of 54.28.Kane Williamson is an all-format player and knows how to win matches for his side. He is calm and composed at the crease, which is his biggest strength. He mainly relies on his technique rather than going for fancy T20 shots.Top Picks – All-RoundersMarcus Stoinis didn’t make a huge impact in the first leg of this IPL. The Australian all-rounder has scored 71 runs and has chipped in with 2 wickets. He will be expecting much improved performances in the second half.At a cut-throat price of 8 Cr, Vijay Shankar will be a decent budget option. He has picked up 3 wickets and has scored 58 runs in this season so far. Top Picks – BowlersAvesh Khan was highly impressive with his accurate bowling in the first half of the IPL. He has scalped 14 wickets in 8 matches, with the best figures of 3 for 32.Whichever league he might be playing in, Rashid Khan always tends to fight for the leading wicket-taker award. He is highly deceptive, and picking him is one of the tougher tasks a batsman could face. Moreover, he can hit big sixes as well. Top Picks – WicketkeepersRishabh Pant is a true game-changer. He is someone who can take the game away from the opposition within a span of a few overs. The Delhi Capitals skipper has mustered 213 runs in this year’s IPL at an average of 35.5 and a strike rate of 131.48. Suggested Playing XI No.1 for DC vs SRH Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:Rishabh Pant, David Warner, Shikhar Dhawan (c), Kane Williamson (vc), Prithvi Shaw, Marcus Stoinis, Vijay Shankar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Rashid KhanSuggested Playing XI No.2 for DC vs SRH Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:Rishabh Pant, Manish Pandey, David Warner (c), Shreyas Iyer (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, Marcus Stoinis, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Rashid Khan, T Natarajan, Khaleel AhmedDC vs SRH Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket: Player Statistics Dream11 Points Shikhar Dhawan 380 runs 587 Rishabh Pant 213 runs 376 Rashid Khan 10 wickets and 17 runs 386 Kane Williamson 128 runs 181 Prithvi Shaw 308 runs 459 DC vs SRH Risky Captaincy Choices:Shreyas Iyer is back after completely recovering from a shoulder injury. This will be his first match after a long gap, but we have seen plenty of excellent knocks from his bat in this competition. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper. David Warner will be hungry for the runs. The former Orange Army skipper has scored 193 runs in 6 matches in this year’s IPL at an average of 32.16. He will be a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.Player you should avoid:Considering his decent international performances in recent times, it’s better to avoid Anrich Nortje while making your fantasy teams.Also Read- IPL 2022: Auction for new teams to take place on October 17
Delhi Capitals have been the team to beat in IPL 2021, with Rishabh Pant doing a great job leading the franchise in the absence of Shreyas Iyer. But that was all before Covid outbreak in the IPL bio-bubble that led to the tournament being postponed. Iyer is back, but Pant will continue to lead the team, at least until the end of the current season. Delhi hopes to pick up where it left off in India, and their first test comes in the form of bottom-placed SunRisers Hyderabad on Wednesday.While DC was the form team in the first leg in India, SRH endured a nightmare. The team had just one win under their belt from seven games.SRH's dreadful showing cost David Warner his captaincy and he was replaced by Kane Williamson before the tournament was halted. The Covid-enforced break, however, came at the right time for SRH. The team has now had time to regroup and hopes that a change of scenery will lead to a change of fortunes.Also Read- DC vs SRH Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI UpdatesBefore the UAE resumed, SRH was hit hard when England star Jonny Bairstow withdrew from the tournament.Jonny Bairstow is the top-scorer for SRH this season with 248 runs in seven matches, boasting a strike-rate of 141.71. SRH have added West Indies batsman Sherfane Rutherford to their squad following Bairstow's withdrawal.Rashid Khan will once again hold the key for SRH when it comes to bowling but others will need to provide him support. Bhuvneshwar Kumar seems to be getting back to his best and that will be good news for the Hyderabad franchise.Delhi are currently level on 12 points with league leaders Chennai Super Kings but have an inferior run-rate to MS Dhoni's team. A win against SRH will put Delhi on top at least till CSK play next.Also Read- Virat Kohli to quit RCB captaincy after the end of IPL 2021 season

Batting first is still a good option.Probable Playing XIs DC vs KKR:Delhi CapitalsPrithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Tom Curran, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Avesh KhanKolkata Knight RidersShubman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Eoin Morgan (c), Shakib Al Hasan, Sunil Narine, Shivam Mavi, Lockie Ferguson, Varun ChakravarthyDC vs KKR Top Picks for DC vs KKR Dream11 Match:Top Picks – BattersPrithvi Shaw played some delightful shots in the last match against Chennai Super Kings and bought up his 4th half-century in this IPL. Overall, in 14 matches, he has notched 461 runs at an average of 32.92 with the highest score of 82. Shubman Gill looked good in the last game against RCB, he was undone by a slower one from Harshal Patel when he was on 29 runs. He is the 2nd leading run-scorer for Knight Riders in this edition with 381 runs in 15 matches.Top Picks – All-RoundersThe surface here at Sharjah will be ideal for Axar Patel as the ball is getting plenty of turn. He has scalped 15 wickets in 11 matches in this edition at an economy of 6.52 and even scored 36 runs with the bat. Sunil Narine deserved the player of the match award for his impeccable all-round performances against RCB in the Eliminator. He picked up 4 crucial wickets at an economy of 5.25 and later played a quickfire 26 runs from 15 balls.Top Picks – BowlersAnrich Nortje has been lethal with the ball and has troubled the batters in this IPL. In 7 matches so far, he has scalped 10 wickets at an impressive economy of 5.92. Varun Chakravarthy has been pretty consistent throughout this IPL. He hardly bowls a bad delivery and is one of the most trusted bowlers by skipper Eoin Morgan. He anticipates the batter’s move well which makes him one of the successful bowlers in this format of the game.Top Picks – WicketkeepersRishabh Pant is the first choice wicketkeeping option for your fantasy teams. His knock of 51* runs from 35 balls provided Delhi Capitals to put up a competitive score against CSK in Qualifier 1. Overall, in this edition, he has scored 413 runs at an average of 37.54.Suggested Playing XI No.1 for DC vs KKR Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw (c), Shubman Gill, Shakib Al Hasan, Sunil Narine (vc), Axar Patel, Venkatesh Iyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Lockie Ferguson, Varun ChakravarthySuggested Playing XI No.2 for DC vs KKR Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:Rishabh Pant (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, Shimron Hetmyer, Nitish Rana, Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer (c), Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Varun ChakravarthyDC vs KKR Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:Player Statistics Dream11 Points Sunil Narine 14 wickets 60 runs 593 Varun Chakravarthy 16 wickets 584 Rishabh Pant 413 runs 724 Prithvi Shaw 461 runs 695 Shubhman Gill 381 runs 588 DC vs KKR Risky Captaincy Choices:Shikhar Dhawan hasn’t fired in the 2nd leg of the IPL to the expectations. Considering his current form, he is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams. Even on the spin-friendly conditions, Lockie Ferguson picked up 2 wickets against RCB in the Eliminator. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.Player you should avoid:Eoin Morgan has scored only 129 runs in 14 innings so far in this IPL at an average of 12.9. Hence, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.Also Read- T20 World Cup 2021 Schedule, All Teams, Host, Time Table, Venue

A torrent of social media abuse was targeted at the only Muslim player in the Indian playing XI, Mohammed Shami, after his side were thrashed by arch rivals Pakistan at the T20 World Cup. Violence against Muslims in India was also reported after the emphatic 10-wicket win on Sunday, Pakistan first victory against India at any World Cup. Cricket clashes between India and Pakistan frequently heighten tensions between the neighbours, who have fought three wars since their independence in 1947. The 31-year-old Shami became the main target after the defeat in Dubai, even though India captain Virat Kohli admitted that his team had been "outplayed". Hundreds of messages were left on Shami's Instagram account saying he was a "traitor" and should be thrown out of the Indian team.Also Read- Virat Kohli becomes first India captain in 29 years to lose World Cup match vs Pakistan Former India batsman Virender Sehwag slammed online trolls for abusing fast bowler Mohammed Shami after India's defeat to Pakistan in the t20 WorldCup on Sunday. "The online attack on Mohammad Shami is shocking and we stand by him. He is a champion and Anyone who wears the India cap has India in their hearts far more than any online mob. With you Shami. Agle match mein dikado jalwa," said Sehwag in a tweet. The online attack on Mohammad Shami is shocking and we stand by him.

Online trolls are the ones who earlier used to burn effigies and throw paint-stones at player’s houses…with an online profile without a face worthy of a profile pic. — Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) October 25, 2021Former cricketer Irfan Pathan also spoke up in support of Shami. “Even I was part of #IndvsPak battles on the field where we have lost but never been told to go to Pakistan!” he tweeted.Even I was part of #IndvsPak battles on the field where we have lost but never been told to go to Pakistan! I’m talking about of few years back. THIS CRAP NEEDS TO STOP. #Shami— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) October 25, 2021Fans and politicians also urged support for him, calling on Indian players to reject the hate messages just as they had backed the Black Lives Matter movement by taking a knee. "Team India your BLM knee-taking counts for nothing if you can't stand up for your teammate who is being horribly abused and trolled on social media," Omar Abdullah, a former chief minister of Kashmir, said on Twitter. "Ignore the haters, most of India's grateful for your effort," said another supporter on Instagram. Gautam Gambhir, a former India Test cricketer who has become an MP for the Bharatiya Janata Party, said it was "shameful" that people were celebrating Pakistan's win. India was defeated by Pakistan in their first match of 2021 T20 World Cup. Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan, taking the three crucial wickets of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. His efforts helped Pakistan restrict India to 151/7. Pakistan openers Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam made light work of the 152-run chase, getting to the target in the 18th over to break the World Cup jinx and register their first-ever 10-wicket win in a T20I match.Also Read- Manchester United owners show 'interest' in IPL franchise
Indian captain Virat Kohli on Saturday hit out at the social media abuse that was aimed at pacer Mohammed Shami after the team loss to Pakistan in the ICC Men’s t20 worldcup. The 31-year-old Shami was abused on social media after the 10-wicket defeat in Dubai, even though Kohli acknowledged that his side had been outplayed as a team. In a virtual press interaction ahead of India’s October 31 clash with New Zealand, Kohli brushed aside the “spineless” trolls, suggesting that those on the inside do not care about the “outside voice”. “There’s a reason we are playing on the field and not those spineless people,” Kohli said. “It’s unfortunate and sad to see people getting entertained. That is why we are doing what we are and those spineless people are doing what they are.” “Many people hide their identity in social media then try to troll the players and it is the lowest point in their life – all dramas outside due to the lack of self-confidence of them, we know how to back the players, there is no value from the outside voice.” Regrettably, Shami, the only Muslim player in the playing XI against Pakistan, was targeted over his religious beliefs, whereas incidents of communal harmony being disrupted in a few parts of the nation were reported the same day. “To me attacking someone over their religion is the most pathetic thing a human being can do. Everyone has the right to voice their opinion but I personally have never even thought of discriminating someone over their religion,” Kohli said. “This is literally the lowest potential as a human being one can operate at.” “That [religious beliefs] is a very sacred and a personal thing to every human being and that should be left there. People take out their frustrations because they obviously have no understanding of what we do as individuals. They have no understanding of how much effort we put on the field. They have no understanding of the fact that someone like Mohammed Shami has won India a lot of matches in last few years and he’s been our primary bowler with Jasprit Bumrah when it comes to making an impact. “We are doing what we are doing on the field and none of these people [trolls] are even in the vicinity to even imagine doing something like that. They do not have the courage or the spine to do that. That is how I see things. “As a group, we understand how we need to stick together and how we need to back individuals and how need to focus on our strengths and whether people on the outside portray the fact that India cannot afford to lose a game of cricket is none of our business because we play sport and we understand how sport goes. So, how people think on the outside adds no value whatsoever. We never focussed on it and we will never focus on it going forward either.” “If people can overlook that and his passion for the country, honestly I don’t even want to waste one minute of my life to give any attention to the people, neither does Shami and neither does anyone else in the team. We stand by him fully. We are backing him 200% and all those who attacked him can come with more force if they want to. “Our brotherhood, our friendship within the team and nothing can be shaken. I can guarantee you as a captain of the team that we have built a culture where these things will not even be infiltered into this environment at all and that is a absolute guarantee from my side. A slew of former indian cricketer stood in solidarity with Shami. “The online attack on Mohammad Shami is shocking and we stand by him. He is a champion and anyone who wears the India cap has India in their hearts far more than any online mob. With you Shami. Agle match mein dikado jalwa,” tweeted former India opener Sehwag. Sachin Tendulkar, too, lauded Shami for his commitment, while he reckoned that like any other player, it was merely an off day for the pacer. “When we support #TeamIndia, we support every person who represents Team India. @MdShami11is a committed, world-class bowler. He had an off day like any other sportsperson can have. I stand behind Shami & Team India.”Also Read- I believe that India can win the T20 World Cup: Virender Sehwag
