Having already attained an unassailable 3-0 lead in the 5 match ODI series, India are eyeing to extend their dominance over New Zealand as the focus shifts to Hamilton for the 4th ODI. Though the visitors will be without the services of skipper Virat Kohli for the rest of the tour, Rohit Sharma is all set to fill in his boots once again. India has lost just 1 of the  8 ODIs under the Mumbai lad and Rohit will too look to enhance his record. Though the men in blue lost at this venue in 2014, but the tables have now turned in India's favour.

India may have lost the Tri-nation series final vs Australia but Harmanpreet&nbsp;Kaur's&nbsp;girls are still high on confidence&nbsp;as they gear up to take the Aussies once again but this time in the Women's World T20 opener on Friday in Sydney. Though the women in yellow have dominated the tournament with 4 titles to their name, 3-time semi-finalists&nbsp;India too boast a formidable unit to go the distance this time around.

After a one-sided win in the T20 series, Team India was at the receiving end in the&nbsp;ODIs. The Men in Blue now turn to red-ball cricket as Virat Kohli's men take on New Zealand in the 1st Test of the 2-match series in Wellington on Friday. Apart from having momentum, the Kiwis also have history by their side. Where India has failed to win any of its 6 Tests at the Basin Reserve in 52 years, New Zealand&nbsp;haven't lost any Tests at home since March 2017. However, Team India is a completely different unit in the longest format now and have won all 5 of its previous Test series and are also unbeaten in the World Test Championship. Though New Zealand's fast bowlers may give a tough time to the Indian batsmen but with the return of Ishant&nbsp;Sharma,&nbsp;Virat's men have a deadly bowling line-up which is capable of decimating any batting unit on pitches like the one in Wellington.

In a statement, the board confirmed that Akmal&nbsp;was part of an ongoing investigation and is not allowed to play cricket till the inquiry is over. This rules Akmal&nbsp;out of the PSL where his side&nbsp;Quetta Gladiators are the defending champions.

Pujara&nbsp;made his Test debut in 2010 against Australia and his highest Test run is 206 which he scored against England.&nbsp;

Pakistan Cricket Board's chief Ehsan&nbsp;Mani&nbsp;on Wednesday hinted that Pakistan might give up the hosting rights of the T20 Asia Cup this year.

After thrashing&nbsp;Jamshedpur&nbsp;FC 5-0 on Wednesday, FC Goa&nbsp;has become the 1st Indian football club to enter the group stages of the AFC&nbsp;Champions League.

The loss of their star winger Son Heung-Min with a broken arm was visible in Tottenham's&nbsp;performance as they were beaten 1-0 at home by Bundesliga side Leipzig&nbsp;in the 1st leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday. Spurs would have suffered much bigger damage had it not been for goalkeeper&nbsp;Hugo Lloris&nbsp;who made a lot of incredible saves except the 58th-minute&nbsp;penalty goal by Timo&nbsp;Werner to make sure his side has a fighting chance in the 2nd leg of the competition. Now without the services of both Harry Kane and Son&nbsp;Heung-min, Jose Mourinho's&nbsp;sides&nbsp;to be walking on eggshells with Premier League and FA Cup games lined up.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A veteran of 96 Test matches, Ishant&nbsp;was seen in the nets bowling to skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli and bowled for more than 75 mins&nbsp;at a stretch which is a good sign for Team India.

Saul Niguez's&nbsp;4th-minute goal followed by a defensive masterclass from Atletico&nbsp;Madrid as they edged out Liverpool 1-0 in the 1st leg of their Round of 16 tie in the Champions League.
