If one thing is assured from India vs Pakistan confrontations, it’s drama. Thrilling sixes, angry fast bowlers, and the tension building in the atmosphere to a point where you can feel it. For last week, both seamers were mere amateurs as India’s spinners weaved webs. Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, and Kuldeep Yadav all played roles, […]

Every cricketing country has that player who transcends the game. For India, it is Mithali and Jhulan. For Australia, it is Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry. For Sri Lanka? It has always been Chamari Athapaththu. She is not merely the captain of her team, but the lifeblood of Sri Lankan women’s cricket. When Chamari steps […]
World Cup squads are like wedding guest lists; you’re not going to please everyone. Someone will invariably be omitted, and, in the case of cricket, those omissions often raise as much discussion as the selection. From youngsters to long-time contributors, there are several players who looked to be suited for this opportunity by others, who […]
The wait is finally over, women’s cricket’s biggest party is here!

If you have been following cricket from Bangladesh for a long time, you will be familiar with this story: brief, beautiful moments, brave gestures, and then… the ultimate panic attack at the worst possible moment. An ending you knew, but hoping for a twist just this once. The Asia Cup was the perfect metaphor. A […]

In the Asia Cup 2025 final, that “one over” came from Haris Rauf, who leaked 17 runs at a stage when Pakistan looked like they still […]
To be frank, when it comes to the women’s game, it has been one team for a long time, and that team is Australia. They have been the powerhouse, the standard, and the team everyone has aimed to beat. Seven ODI World Cups, six T20 World Cups, and a winning culture that is borderline arrogant, […]
If you’re a Sri Lanka supporter, witnessing their Asia Cup Super-Fours effort was undoubtedly like being on a rollercoaster that never quite made it all the way to the top. Just when you think the side has got it all right, they found a way to fall short at the end. Painful? Certainly. But head […]
It’s that time again—India vs Pakistan in a final. No matter how many times these two teams get together, it doesn’t lose its pizzazz.
