Even with Harmanpreet Kaur gone and India playing one batter fewer, they have the upper hand. Smriti Mandhana should try to bat till the end.

Senior Women's T20 series, Mullanpur
In just three matches, the Women's World Cup has given us two contenders for the Ball of the Tournament: Amelia Kerr squaring up Phoebe Litchfield and Marufa Akter cutting Omaima Sohail in half.

India have gone in with just five bowlers. Amanjot Kaur, returning from an injury, is the fifth. It's a big gamble. Losing the toss hasn't helped either. Their three spinners may have to bowl with a wet ball.

Suryakumar Yadav has never batted below No. 5 in T20Is, and it may stay that way.

I am afraid Blusky isn't going to really grow unless big handles *leave* Twitter. For now, they just have an account here, nothing more.
My first introduction to Bob Simpson was through his columns in Sportstar. Always full of insights and keeping up with the times. Only later did I realise that he was a solid opener, a handy legspinner and an excellent slip fielder. And above all, an era-defining coach. Rest in peace, Simmo.

It's not often you come across a statue of a poet. This is Prof. Mohan Singh, who wrote arguably the most-quoted Punjabi poem about mother.

There are few better sights in women's cricket than Harmanpreet Kaur in full flow. That's also why it's frustrating to see her bat within herself at times for no apparent reason.

Don't think you can blame Jadeja; he gave his best. It's just that sometimes your best isn't good enough.
