<h2>South Africa will begin their World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka in New Delhi on October 7.</h2>

South Africa were dealt twin blows weeks ahead of the ODI World Cup after injured pacers Anrich Nortje and Sisanda Magala were ruled out of the tournament in India, head coach Rob Walter confirmed on Thursday.
Bowling all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo and seamer Lizaad Williams have replaced the duo in the World Cup-bound squad.
"It's hugely disappointing for Anrich and Sisanda to be missing out on the 50-over World Cup. Both are quality players that add immense value to the Proteas," Walter said.
"We sympathise in their omission and will continue to provide all the necessary support as they work towards their return to competitive action," he added.
Nortje has a lower back injury. The 29-year-old seamer experienced back spasms during the second ODI against Australia and underwent assessments and scans.
Magala, on the other hand, has a left knee problem. Both Nortje and Magala were part of South Africa's initial 15-member squad for the marquee event.
However, with the South African team set to leave for India on Saturday, both players failed to recover in time for the World Cup, forcing the team management to name replacements.
"This provides an opportunity for Andile and Lizaad on the global stage. Both players have been part of our winter programs as well as having represented South Africa in the recent white-ball tour against Australia," Walter said.
"They offer great skill sets and we're excited to have them complete the 15-player squad for this year's World Cup." Nortje's injury is a major blow for South Africa as he is one of the quickest bowlers in world cricket at the moment and has substantial experience playing in India. His express speed and ability to generate bounce make him a valuable asset for the Proteas in all formats of the game.
Phehlukwayo is a like-for-like replacement for Magala. He showcased his batting prowess in the final ODI against Australia.
South Africa will begin their World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka in New Delhi on October 7.
South Africa's updated squad: Temba Bavuma (c), Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen and Lizaad Williams.

Asian Games 2023: Shafali Varma shines as Indian women enter semi-final

Shafali Verma scores sparkling 39-ball-67 as India enters the semi-final of the women's cricket event at the Asian Games 2023 by virtue of better ICC rankings after the quarter-final was abandoned due to rain.

Due to rain interruption the score was first revised to 177 as per the DLS method, later Malaysia was able to play only two deliveries match had to be called off.

Shafali Verma bullied an inexperienced Malaysian attack with a sparkling 39-ball-67 as India entered the semi-final of the women's cricket event at the Asian Games by virtue of better ICC rankings after Thursday's quarter-final was abandoned due to rain.
The match was reduced to 15 over-a-side affair and India scored an imposing 173 for 2, courtesy Shafali, skipper Smriti Mandhana's 27 off 16 balls, Jemimah Rodrigues' 29-ball-47. Richa Ghosh's 7-ball-21 cameo was like a cherry on top of the cake.
It was going to be next to impossible for Malaysia to even think of surpassing 100-run mark let alone chase the target, which was revised to 177 as per DLS method.
Malaysia played only two deliveries before heavy rain played spoilsport and the match had to be called off.
India are top seeded Asian team in the competition as per their ICC ranking on June 1.
On a slow deck, Malaysia skipper Winifred Duraisingam elected to field and her team did let her down due to sloppy fielding as they dropped a few catches.
Malaysia's bowling didn't have enough sting to trouble the Indian batters.
The lack of pace in their deliveries forced Shafali to walk down the track in order to meet the ball early. Mandhana, at the other end, got some full-tosses which were dispatched to all corners of the ground.
Mandhana was dismissed after the opening pair got 59 within the Powerplay when she tried to pull a delivery, which was bowled slightly on the fuller side from spinner Mahira Izzati Ismail.
Shafali's innings had five sixes apart from four boundaries and mostly in the region between square leg and deep mid-wicket apart from a straight six that got her to a well-compiled half-century.
Rodrigues also looked in good touch as she got six boundaries and added 86 for the second wicket with Shafali.
Shafali was also hit on her right forearm when she couldn't evade a powerful bowler's back-drive by Rodrigues and needed an urgent taping.
She got a reprieve in the deep off Mas Elysa's bowling but immediately after that was caught plumb in-front.
Richa came in and blasted four boundaries in the 15th and final over of the innings which took India past the 170-run mark.
Brief Scores: India 173/2 in 15 overs (Shafali Verma 67, Jemimah Rodrigues 47). Malaysia (Revised target 177) 1/0 in 0.2 overs.

<h2>After a poor inaugural season in the Women's Premier League, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have appointed Australian Luke Williams as the head coach.</h2>

Australia's Luke Williams has been appointed as the new head coach for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the upcoming season of the Women's Premier League (WPL).&nbsp;
Williams will replace Ben Sawyer, who had a challenging inaugural season, having finished 4th among the 5 teams in the competition.
Who is Luke Williams?
Williams has a wealth of coaching experience. As the coach of Women's Big Bash League team Adelaide Strikers, the 43-year-old guided them to their first-ever title. The Strikers had also finished runners-up twice before.
He has also tasted success in the Hundred Women&rsquo;s Competition this year, serving as an assistant coach for the Southern Brave.
During his playing days, Williams featured for South Australia in first-class cricket in the early 2000s, although he never represented the national team.&nbsp;
RCB&rsquo;s woeful run in WPL 2023
RCB faced significant challenges in the first WPL season despite having star players like India's Smriti Mandhana, Australian legend Ellyse Perry, New Zealand's Sophie Devine, and England's Heather Knight in their ranks.
Mandhana, who was the most expensive player in the inaugural auction, struggled to make a significant impact for RCB. However, the team struggled to find consistent victories, managing only two wins from eight matches.

<h2>The young Indian wrestler shocked reigning champion Olivia Dominique Parrish but lost out in the semis to World No. 23, Vanesa Kaladzinskaya of Belarus.</h2>

Antim Panghal shocked reigning champion Olivia Dominique Parrish en route to the World Championship semifinals, but the young grappler's giant-killing run was halted in the last-four stage, leaving her fighting for a bronze medal and a Paris Olympic quota place.
Panghal, the 53kg grappler, lost the semifinal bout to world No.23 Vanesa Kaladzinskaya -- a Belarusian competing as a neutral athlete -- on technical points 5-4.
But the Indian can still earn an Olympic quota if she wins the bronze-medal match or emerges triumphant in the bout between the losers of the bronze-medal contest.
Underlining her growth and a smooth transition from the junior to the senior circuit, the two-time U20 champion won the first three bouts of the day to enter the semifinal even as other Indian contenders bit the dust in their respective categories.
The two-time U20 champion Panghal slipped to a 0-2 deficit at the start of the bout against USA's Parrish but edged her rival 3-2 in the opening round.
She later outplayed Poland's Roksana Marta Zasina by technical superiority and followed it up with a 9-6 win over Russian Natalia Malysheva, who is competing as a neutral athlete.
Earlier, American Parrish swung into action with a quick take-down move from a right-leg attack. Unperturbed, the 19-year-old Indian began to defend well and foiled two similar attempts, not conceding any more points till the end of the first period.
With her strong defense continuing, Panghal did not let Parrish make any attacking move and as a result, the American was put on the clock.
Panghal got hold of the American's left leg and converted that into a successful take-down move to draw parity. She tried to get a leg lace but could not pull off the move.
The American lost a point on passivity. Standing wrestling followed and Panghal defended her slender lead to walk out a winner.
She needed only one minute and 38 seconds to outplay Zasina in her next bout, beating the Poland wrestler by technical superiority to move into the quarterfinals.
After two take-down moves, Panghal pulled off leg-lace move with perfection to finish the bout in a jiffy.
In the quarterfinal, she led 6-0 but Natalia from Russia effected a comeback with a take-down and consecutive gut-wrench points to make it 6-6.
On the counter-attack, Panghal took the lead again. The Indian extended the lead with a left-leg attack which she converted into a take-down. After that, about 30 seconds were still left in the bout but Paghal denied her rival.
However, Manisha (62kg), Priyanka (68kg) and Jyoti Berwal (72kg) have lost their bouts and exited the tournament.
All 10 men's freestyle wrestlers have already exited the tournament without winning either an Olympic quota or a medal in non-Olympic categories.
All Indian athletes are competing under the UWW flag because the wrestling federation is suspended.&nbsp;

Chasing 183 for victory, the Warriorz lost 4 wickets including the big-hitting Healy, McGrath &amp; Harris inside the first 8 overs.

Mumbai Indians are through to the final of the Women&rsquo;s Premier League after defeating the UP Warriorz by 72 runs.
English all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt proved to be the match-winner for Harmanpreet Kaur&rsquo;s side to set up a summit clash with the Delhi Capitals.
While others around her made small but vital contributions, it was Sciver-Brunt&rsquo;s unbeaten 72 off 38 balls that blew the Warriorz away at the DY Patil stadium. Her sensational knock powered Mumbai to a mighty 182/4.
And in reply, the Warriorz could never get going, losing 4 wickets including the big-hitting Healy, McGrath &amp; Harris inside the first 8 overs.
While Kiran Navgire did play a valiant hand with a 43, it was Issy Wong&rsquo;s fantastic hat-trick that completely derailed the run-chase, with the Warriorz getting bundled for 110 in the end.

<h2>The Men in Blue will become the no. 1 team across all formats if they go on to win the 1st ODI against the Kangaroos on September 22.</h2>

Team India will head into the first ODI against Australia, knowing full well that a victory will see them become the number one team across all formats, an incredible feat for Rohit Sharma &amp; Co.
The Men in Blue will leapfrog Pakistan to the top spot with a total of 116 points, with the Men in Green currently on 215. Australia occupy the third position right now.
However, if India falter against the Aussies in Mohali on Friday night, they will slip to third with Australia then going above them in second.
India are currently the top-ranked team in T20 internationals and Tests as well.
The hosts only need to win the series to enter the ODI World Cup at home as the no. 1 ranked side in the world.

<h2>India had previously drawn Pakistan in 2019 but due to "security concerns" the Asia/Oceania Group I tie was played at a neutral venue - Kazakhstan.</h2>

India have been drawn to play Pakistan in the World Group I Play-offs and the Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) on Thursday made it clear that it won't agree to shift their home tie to a neutral venue this time.
India had drawn Pakistan in 2019 also but due to "security concerns" the Asia/Oceania Group I tie was shifted to Kazakhstan, a neutral venue.
As a mark of protest, Pakistan's top players Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi and Aqeel Khan had opted not to play the tie in which rookies Mohammed Shoaib, Huzaifa Abdul Rehman and Yousaf Khalil competed for them.
India had expectedly thrashed a weak Pakistan line-up 4-0. In a lop-sided contest, Pakistan won only seven games in the entire tie.
The ITF had agreed to shift the tie to a neutral venue in 2019 but it will be very tough for AITA to convince the world governing body if the national federation pushes for a neutral venue.
Pakistan's veteran player Aqeel Khan told PTI that they are hoping for the Indian team to travel to their nation.
"I hope they come and give us a chance to host," Aqeel, 43, said.
Qureshi said, "Hopefully this time it will be played in Pakistan." Pakistan last week beat Indonesia 4-0 at home in the World Group II tie, played on grass courts in Islamabad with Aqeel winning a singles and the doubles rubber.
PTF President Salim Saifullah Khan said they will host India on grass court.
"They should come to Pakistan. It's not fair that they do not come to Pakistan. The Indian team is much better than us. We have a beautiful hotel just across the stadium. If Indians come it will send a good message that we are good neighbours," Saifullah Khan told PTI.
If India decide to travel, it will be the Davis Cup team's first visit across the border in 59 years, and only third in the history of the team tournament.
The last time an Indian Davis Cup team travelled to Pakistan was in 1964 when the visitors beat the hosts 4-0.
Ramanathan Krishan had led the first team from India, which travelled to Pakistan in 1962.
Pakistan have visited India three times, but India have never lost to them in eight Davis Cup ties between the two countries.
"We have hosted Lithuania, Slovekia, Korea, Iran, Thailand. All these countries have come and there have been no issues.
"We won't play on a neutral venue. If India does not want to come, we will not play this tie. We will play on grass courts and the Indians are a better team. And in February-March, the weather is lovely in Islamabad," Saifullah said.

All eyes will be on Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav, with the former out to prove his fitness while the latter will be looking to boost his ODI average. Ravichandran Ashwin's return will also add intrigue to the #INDvAUS series.

<h2>All eyes will be on Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav, with the former out to prove his fitness while the latter will be looking to boost his ODI average.</h2>

The upcoming three-game series between India and Australia holds significant weight, serving as a crucial trial run before the World Cup. The spotlight is on Shreyas Iyer's match fitness and Suryakumar Yadav's ambition to enhance his ODI performance, adding intrigue to the matches.
Shreyas Iyer, who has battled injuries, is facing the challenge of showcasing his fitness and effectiveness in the middle overs during the World Cup. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav aims to solidify his role in ODI cricket, striving to boost his subpar ODI average.
In the absence of key players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the series provides the Indian team an opportunity to evaluate their bench strength under the guidance of coach Rahul Dravid. Both Iyer and Yadav are crucial components of this assessment, each with their unique battle to secure their spot in the World Cup lineup.
The return of experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and the absence of key players like Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya present additional layers of intrigue. Ashwin's performance and his duel with top Australian batters will be closely watched.
The team combination is also a point of interest with Ishan Kishan likely to open alongside Shubman Gill, and Ruturaj Gaikwad providing cover for the Asian Games-bound squad. Managing the workload of fast bowlers, particularly Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj is crucial in this tight series schedule.
When will the first India vs Australia ODI match be played? India vs Australia 1st ODI match will be played on September 22 (Friday).
What time will the India vs Australia 1st ODI start? The toss for IND vs AUS 1st ODI will be at 1 PM, with the match set to begin at 1:30 PM IST.
Where is the first ODI match between India and Australia being played? IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Punjab will host the first ODI between India and Australia
Where can one watch India vs Australia on TV? English - Sports18 Hindi - Colors Cineplex Superhits Tamil - Colors Tamil Bangla - Colors Bangla

<h2>Sunil Chhetri's all-important penalty kept India in the hunt for a place in the Round of 16. The Blue Tigers previously lost to China 1-5.</h2>

The Indian football team had a tough day at the office but still managed to get all three points against Bangladesh in the Group A encounter at the Asian Games 2023.
The Indian team, predominantly comprising lesser-experienced players, aimed to bounce back after their massive 1-5 defeat to China in their first game.
Throughout the match, India made numerous attempts to breach the resilient Bangladeshi defence. However, they faced difficulty in finding the net, leading to a goalless first half. Even in the second half, chances seemed to slip away, with a Samuel Kynshi free-kick hitting the crossbar, keeping the score level.
It was in the 84th minute that left winger Bryce Miranda received a long pass near the opposition box. A foul by Bangladesh captain Rahmat Mia resulted in India being awarded a crucial penalty.
Stepping up to the challenge, Captain Sunil Chhetri confidently placed the ball into the bottom-left corner, granting India a late 1-0 advantage. The Indian side, under Igor Stimac's guidance, held firm to their lead, securing a significant win that keeps them firmly in the running for the knockout stage.

Australia will miss the services of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc in the first ODI of the 3-match series against India. Aussie captain Pat Cummins confirmed this news during the pre-series press conference in Mohali on Thursday, expressing hope for their return "later on" in the series.
Cummins said, "We've got plenty of people at different stages," Cummins said in the pre-series press conference. "I am feeling pretty good. My wrist is all healed up... I hope to play tomorrow, hoping to play all three games... Starcy won't play tomorrow but hopefully, he'll be available for later on the series, same for Glenn Maxwell... He (Starc) has been bowling back in Sydney and all going to plan. He might bowl today or tomorrow and build up. Same with Glenn Maxwell, he has a similar time frame to Starcy."
On a positive note, Cummins himself is making a comeback to ODI fold after a few months of being sidelined due to a wrist injury, and he will be available for all the matches. Additionally, Steve Smith, has also recovered from his wrist injury, is expected to rejoin the playing XI.
Starc had to grapple with a shoulder injury during Ashes 2023, and he also missed Australia's recent tour of South Africa due to "groin soreness." On the other hand, Maxwell, although part of the South Africa tour, encountered a minor aggravation to his left ankle, hampering his participation. The right-handed batter has not played ODI cricket since March, when he suffered a fractured fibula.
