Pakistan hold first training session in Perth ahead of Zimbabwe clash

PERTH: Pakistan cricket team engaged in their first training session here on Tuesday ahead of the Green Shirts’ second Super 12 clash against Zimbabwe on Thursday.

The Babar Azam-led side will be eyeing for their first win of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 as they face Zimbabwe, who made their way into Group 2 after defeating Ireland and Netherlands in the first round. The match will start at 4:00 PM(PST).

The team had a productive day as the players went through rigorous batting and bowling net practice during the session which was attended by all the members of the squad.

Earlier on Monday, the team had travelled to Perth from Melbourne, where they played their opening encounter of the tournament against the arch-rivals India at the jam-packed Melbourne Cricket Ground.

After a close defeat at the hands of India in the nerve-wracking contest on Sunday, the Green Shirts have very little to no margin of error in their upcoming group matches in order to qualify for the semifinal.

Zimbabwe coach slams umpires for not halting play despite wet outfield

HOBART: Zimbabwe coach Dave Houghton has slammed the umpires’ decision to continue with his team’s game against South Africa on Monday despite the heavy amount of rain in Hobart.

Rain played a spoiler in yesterday’s match on multiple instances before it was finally abandoned with South Africa close to sealing a victory. The Proteas required just 13 runs in 24 balls and had 10 wickets in hands but since the innings had not reached the mandatory cut-off mark of five overs, the game ended with no result.

Zimbabwe’s bowlers and fielders frequently voiced their displeasure about the damp outfield during the chase as the rain gradually grew heavier. However, the umpires kept the players in the game even after fast bowler Richard Ngarava slipped and had to be taken off the field injured.

“I don’t think we should have even bowled a ball, to be fair,” said Houghton in a post-match press conference.

“But the umpires are the guys making those decisions out in the middle and they seemed to think it was fit to play. I disagree with them, but there’s not much I can do off the field.”

Talking about Ngarva’s condition, Houghton said: “He’s lying in the changing room with a bunch of ice strapped to his ankle. Obviously we’re not too happy about the fact he’s not in a great space for bowling at the moment.

“I thought the rain had got so heavy it was ridiculous. Most of the evening or nighttime, it was misty. But it got to the stage where we could actually hear it thumping on the rooftop in the dugout. To me, that’s no longer drizzle; that’s time to get off the field.” he expressed.

Furthermore, he added that the field was wet when Zimbabwe started and when South Africa fielded and the conditions had been difficult conditions for both sides but it just got more and more wet as they bowled.

“When your keeper’s sliding trying to move down the leg side standing up to the spinners, it’s too wet. I don’t think the conditions were right to carry on playing,” he concluded.

T20 World Cup: Netherlands edge Namibia in low-scoring thriller

GEELONG: Bas de Leede’s inspirational knock steered the Netherlands to a thrilling five-wicket win over Namibia in a low-scoring game of the ICC T20 World Cup on Tuesday.

The Netherlands have strengthened their chances to qualify for the Super 12 as they secured their second win of the first round.

Set to chase a paltry target of 122, Netherlands’ batting jittered in the middle as they lost four quick wickets after sailing comfortably to 92/1 in 13.4 overs.

Opener Vikramjit Singh and Max O’Dowd raised a solid foundation for the Netherlands’ chase as they built a valiant 59-run partnership before the former fell prey to Bernard Scholtz in the ninth over.

Namibian all-rounder JJ Smit wreaked havoc in the 15th over with two back-to-back wickets before Jan Frylinck took another scalp in the next over as he dismissed skipper Scott Edwards to set the alarm bells off for the Dutch side.

Tim Pringle then joined de Leede on the crease when the Netherlands required just 20 runs and the two ensured that they took their side home.

De Leede was awarded player of the match for his crucial knock of 30-ball 30. Meanwhile Vikramjit top-scored for the side with 39 off 31 laced with three fours and two sixes

Earlier, Frylinck put up brave resistance to avert the complete batting collapse as his defiant knock steered Namibia to a fighting total of 121/6.

Frylinck played a cautious knock of 48-ball 43 and battled the furious attack by the Dutch bowlers who forced Namibia into crisis in the first six overs as they took three early wickets on a paltry total of 32.

The Netherlands bowled on tight lines and length and a combined effort led to the eventual degradation of the Namibian batting line.

Bas de Leede led the charge for the Dutch side as he returned figures of 2/18 in his three overs, while Tim Pringle, Colin Ackermann, Paul van Meekeren and Roelof van der Merwe took a scalp each.

For Namibia, opener Michael van Lingen scored 20 off 19 while no 3 batter Stephan Baard contributed with 19 off 20.

David Wiese played a late cameo of unbeaten 11 runs off five deliveries including a boundary after skipper Gerhard Erasmus (16 off 18)went back to the pavilion in the 19th over.
