મહિલા એશિયા કપ 2026ની પ્રથમ સેમિફાઇનલ મેચમાં આજે ગુરુવારે ભારત અને બાંગ્લાદેશની ટીમો દુબઇ ઇન્ટરનેશનલ ક્રિકેટ સ્ટેડિયમ ખાતે આમને-સામને થશે. ભારતીય ટીમ રેકોર્ડ આઠમી વખત એશિયા કપના ખિતાબ તરફ આગળ વધવાના ઈરાદા સાથે મેદાનમાં ઉતરશે, જ્યારે બાંગ્લાદેશની નજર મોટો ઉલટફેર કરીને ફાઇનલમાં જગ્યા બનાવવા પર રહેશે. ભારતે ગ્રુપ સ્ટેજમાં પોતાના તમામ મુકાબલા જીતીને શાનદાર પ્રદર્શન કર્યું છે અને પાકિસ્તાનને 7 વિકેટે હરાવ્યા બાદ ટીમનો આત્મવિશ્વાસ બુલંદ છે. આ સેમિફાઇનલ મેચ જીતનારી ટીમ 13 સપ્ટેમ્બરે રમાનાર ફાઇનલમાં પ્રવેશ કરશે.
મિડલ ઓર્ડરની ચિંતા અને ટીમનું પ્રદર્શન
ઓપનર શેફાલી વર્મા અને વાઇસ કેપ્ટન સ્મૃતિ મંધાનાએ મોટાભાગની મેચોમાં ભારતને મજબૂત શરૂઆત અપાવી છે, પરંતુ ટીમનું મિડલ ઓર્ડર હજુ પણ ચિંતાનો વિષય બનેલું છે. થાઈલેન્ડ સામેની મેચમાં ભારતીય બેટિંગ લાઈનઅપની નબળાઈઓ સ્પષ્ટ થઈ હતી, તેથી કેપ્ટન હરમનપ્રીત કૌર અને દીપ્તિ શર્મા જેવા અનુભવી ખેલાડીઓએ વધુ જવાબદારી સંભાળવી પડશે. બીજી તરફ બાંગ્લાદેશની ટીમ પણ નૌકઆઉટ મુકાબલામાં ભારત સામે સડન સરપ્રાઇઝ આપવા માટે પૂરી તાકાત લગાવશે, જેથી ટીમ ઇન્ડિયા કોઈ પણ સંજોગોમાં વિરોધી ટીમને હળવાશથી લેવાની ભૂલ નહીં કરે. michezonews.co.za

Tilak Varma Sets Sights on Afghanistan Series After Duleep Trophy Disappointment

India’s T20I vice-captain Tilak Varma is aiming to win the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan after failing to lead South Zone to glory in the ongoing Duleep Trophy final against East Zone.
East Zone’s commanding 584-run lead has put them firmly in control and left South Zone with little chance of staging a comeback on the final day. With the result almost beyond doubt, South Zone captain Tilak can now look to move on from the disappointment and turn his attention towards the upcoming international assignment.
“Yeah, the (personal) form has been really good. But at the same point, it’s a different format (against Afghanistan). So, I should change my gears again. I’m pretty confident about it,” Tilak said, as quoted by PTI, after the fourth day of the Duleep Trophy final. “My goal now is to win the Afghanistan series. So I’ll be going with the same confidence, and let’s see how it goes.”
Tilak’s form has been scintillating with the bat. In this year’s Duleep Trophy, the left-handed batter amassed 266 runs, including a century and a score of 99.
Once the final is over, Tilak will join the Indian squad in Delhi, where all three T20Is will be played between September 13 and 17.

Ishan Kishan Is Knocking Hard. But Is There Any Room in India’s Test XI?

There is an old maxim that goes something along the lines of: ‘Good is not enough when better is expected, and better is not enough when you can become the best.’ Maybe, just maybe, when Ishan Kishan found himself in the wilderness, he ended up reciting this line every single day.
With impressive performances in domestic cricket and for India in T20Is, he barged through the T20 World Cup selection door. Some months later, with the selectors watching, Kishan finished with a memorable 270 in the Duleep Trophy final in Chennai. He followed that up with an 80 in the second innings.
With the sheer weight of runs behind him, Kishan would certainly have given the national selectors food for thought about his potential in the longest format. Of course, the sceptics would argue that Kishan compiled those runs on a placid surface. But more than the runs he accumulated, it was his zen-masterly concentration that stood out.
Be it just before a lunch or tea break, or when the opposition tried to induce a false shot with four fielders square and behind square on the on side, Kishan’s concentration did not waver one bit. His long vigil at the crease would have convinced the selectors, to some extent, that he is more than just a T20 cricketer.
On his part, Kishan observed that being the captain of the East Zone side had helped him build a strong foundation.
“When you are the captain of the team, the first thing [you develop] is situational awareness,” Kishan said after scoring 270 off 334 balls in the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone. “You have to stay alert the entire day on the field to understand what is happening and what isn’t. You have to take care of all your team-mates. There are so many small things we often overlook in our daily routines – you don’t look at your players or try to help them figure out how they can get better. But when you are the captain, it becomes your duty to help them.
“You will have to take responsibility. If you don’t take it now, when will you? It’s not like I am 22 years old and have just broken into the team. Going through this whole [leadership] process leads to immense personal growth, and while you might not realise it immediately, your mindset shifts completely, and you become much calmer about things.”
Having showered praise on Kishan, however, his chances of breaking open the Test-selection door immediately look remote. As a wicketkeeper-batter, he is up against Rishabh Pant, one of India’s finest Test cricketers, alongside Dhruv Jurel, who has also done well in the limited opportunities he has had in Test cricket.
Even if Kishan were to be considered as a pure batter, there is Sarfaraz Khan waiting in the wings. Tilak Varma himself has put together gritty performances in the ongoing Duleep Trophy.
Kishan, though, would have just one thought in his mind: accumulate as many runs as possible and leave it to the selectors to decide his fate in the longest format of the game.
