T20 World Cup: Afghanistan-New Zealand match washed out without a single ball bowled
The Group-1 Super-12 match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup between last time runners-up New Zealand and upcoming cricketing nation Afghanistan was washed out without a single ball being bowled due to heavy evening showers at Melbourne Cricket ground, Australia on Wednesday.
After the match, both the teams shared one point each and the ongoing World Cup saw the second washed out after the South Africa -Zimbabwe match held in Hobart on Tuesday.
Despite sharing the points in day's ill-fated match, the top slot of New Zealand in Group A was not hampered as they secured three points from two matches after punishing holders Australaia by 89 runs in the first match, featuring a huge net run rate boosting.

But, Afghanistan’s chance of making a semifinal berth suffered a big blow as they remained at bottom in six-team Group 1 with one point from two matches after conceding five wickets defeat against England in the first match..
However, Afghanistan will remain at Melbourne to play their next match against high flying Ireland on Friday while New Zealand will fly for Sydney to play Sri Lanka on Saturday.
Ronaldo back in contention for Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo is back in contention for Manchester United after talks with manager Erik ten Hag.
The Portugal striker could play against FC Sheriff in the Europa League on Thursday after being cut from the 1-1 draw with Chelsea last weekend and being made to train away from the first-team squad.
Ronaldo was punished for refusing to come on as a substitute in last week’s 2-0 win over Tottenham, which raised fresh doubts about his future at United.
But Ten Hag said Wednesday that the issue has now been resolved after talking to the forward.
“Cristiano will be in the squad tomorrow,” the Dutchman said at his pre-match news conference. “I think we said everything and we answered all the questions, he was out for one game and is back in the squad as usual.
“It’s done, he’s back, focus on the game, that’s important that Cristiano is involved in the squad tomorrow.”
Ronaldo has been an unwanted distraction during Ten Hag’s short reign at United after failing to secure a summer transfer to a team playing in the Champions League.
Read: Ronaldo controversy overshadows United's victory over Spurs
Ronaldo was criticized, along with other players, for leaving a pre-season game early — and his behavior against Spurs led to the one-game punishment.
While Ten Hag has said Ronaldo remains in his plans, there are still doubts over whether he can play a key role in the team.
United was unable to bring in a striker in the summer but, with Ronaldo out of contract at the end of the season, the club will need to fill the void if the 37-year-old Portugal international leaves.
It has traditionally been difficult to bring in major signings during the January transfer window but Ten Hag said long-term planning was underway when asked if he had the funds to recruit in the new year.
“In the background we always continue a process working on the squad,” he said. “So we want to have a top sport culture, and you see and examine how you can improve and that’s what we will do.”
T20 World Cup 2022: Shakib puts his faith in pace against South Africa
After Taskin Ahmed registered his career-best figures in T20Is to make the difference in Bangladesh’s first match of the ongoing T20 World Cup.
The less experienced Hasan Mahmud also did well in the same match. Now, ahead of the second match of the event against South Africa, Bangladesh captain, Shakib Al Hasan said he is hoping the pacers will keep shining in the World Cup.
Bangladesh will take on South Africa on Thursday at 9 am (Bangladesh time). The Tigers will be hoping to make it two wins out of two at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground, against opponents who they beat earlier this year in their own backyard in an ODI series for the very first time.
“Taskin became a leader of our team,” Shakib said in the pre-match press conference. “After Mashrafe left the national team, Taskin has improved a lot in the last couple of years. We have a great pace-bowling attack in all three formats of the game. I hope they will continue to deliver the same in the World Cup.”
In the last match in Hobart, Bangladesh had to play under cold conditions, but in Sydney, they are going to get better weather. That might help the Tigers to perform in a better way as well.
In the last match in the same venue, New Zealand beat Australia after scoring a massive total of 200 runs. That indicated that the wicket of Sydney will be friendly for the batters, and winning the toss may play a big role. But Shakib didn't seem interested in the discussion of winning the toss or not.

“Toss is not in our hand,” Shakib replied to a question. “Since we are looking forward to winning this match, we have to play well no matter what we do first— be it bowling or batting.”
South Africa had to share points in their first match which ended with no result due to bad weather. Now, if they lose against Bangladesh, their chance to qualify for the next phase of the event will virtually be shrunk. Shakib says that this situation will inspire South Africa to play all-attack cricket.
Bangladesh captain believes the spinner will get the extra friendly environment at the surface of Sydney. It is clear from the captain's words that Bangladesh may go with an extra spinner in the next match. In that case, Yasir Ali might have to pave the way for Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
Before this match, Bangladesh took on South Africa in seven T20Is and failed to win any of those matches. But this time, Bangladesh has a good chance, especially, after the win in the first match against the Netherlands, Tigers are pumped-up and confident to keep the winning-streak intact.
T20 World Cup 2022: Bangladesh aim to choke South Africa
South Africa have had an instance of being eliminated from ICC events after losing points due to inclement weather. They started the T20 World Cup 2022 campaign by sharing 1 point each with Zimbabwe and now hope for good weather for their Thursday fixture against Bangladesh in Sydney. Tigers, on the other hand, will be looking to choke an under-pressure Proteas side in order to secure their second consecutive victory.
2022 Twenty20 World Cup: Bangladesh vs South Africa Match Preview
South Africa are a way better team than Bangladesh in all departments. In addition, the conditions will also favour the Proteas side as their players are well versed in what it takes to perform better on Australian pitches. The South African side, therefore, is expected to show a dominant performance against Bangladesh in order to clinch their first victory of the competition.

Bangladesh players, on the other hand, have no prior experience of playing in Australia. Besides, the batters have continued to show their limitations in execution. The expectations from the batting unit, therefore, should not be so high. Keeping as many wickets as possible in hand for the death overs would be key for them to consolidate a challenging total to defend. If the Tigers are to upset the Proteas, the pace bowlers will have to shoulder the majority of the responsibility, as they did in the first match.
Bangladesh vs South Africa: H2H T20I Record
Bangladesh have no wins in the T20 format against South Africa. They have lost all seven matches played against the Proteas national men’s side. The Proteas will once again be favourites to win tomorrow’s match, but the Tigers will try to make it harder for them.
South Africa vs Bangladesh match schedule
The game will take place at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday (October 27). As per the fixture, the match will start at 9 a.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time).
Sydney Cricket Ground’s T20I stats
The match between Bangladesh and South Africa will be held at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. Twelve T20I matches have been played at this venue so far. Here are some notable Twenty20 International stats for the stadium.

Sydney weather and pitch report
The weather has been good in Sydney, but there is a strong possibility of rain on Thursday afternoon, which could halt the contest. The toss-winning captain may like to defend here at the SCG.
Bangladesh vs South Africa 2022 Twenty20 World Cup: Who will likely be in the playing XI
The Bangladesh team might not make any changes to their winning combination. However, one spinner could find a place in the team given the fact that South Africa may find it difficult to negotiate the slower bowlers. On the other hand, South Africa may include spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in place of a fast bowler.
Bangladesh (probable playing XI)Top-Order: Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Middle-Order: Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (wicket-keeper), Mosaddek Hossain, Lower-Order: Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud
South Africa (probable playing XI) Top-Order: Quinton de Kock (wicket-keeper), Temba Bavuma (captain), Rilee Rossouw, Middle-Order: Aiden Markram, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, Lower-Order: Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi

Aftermath
The South African team is a little upset after losing points in their first match of the T20 World Cup 2022 because of the bad weather. The Proteas will aim to play aggressively against the Tigers on Thursday in order to boost their run rates apart from claiming all three points. On the other hand, Bangladesh should attempt to exert pressure on the South African side by playing their natural game and frustrating the players.
T20 World Cup 2022: Ireland upset England in rain-hit match
Ireland beat England by five runs in the rain-hit match in Melbourne on Wednesday. It was one of the biggest upsets in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup so far.
Ireland posted a decent total of 157. While chasing, England lost five scoring 105 runs in 14.3 overs before the rain came in.
The match was never resumed after that and Ireland won the match by 5 runs.
When the umpires sent the players back to the dressing room due to rain, Moeen Ali was batting well and trying to place England in a position to win the match. But eventually, he was not able to rescue the English this time.
Andy Balbirnie, the captain, was the hero of Ireland in this already-famous victory. He scored a quick fire 62 off 47 balls, and while bowling, he rotated the bowlers expertly.
For England, Mark Wood and Liam Livingstone bagged three wickets each.
In reply, England lost their captain and opener Joshua Little in the first over bowled by Joshua Little. Inside 29, England lost three wickets.
Dawid Malan helped the English to come out of initial damage scoring 35. But a slow strike rate haunts them badly. Moeen came to bat at six and scored 24 off just 12 balls before the rain halted the match.
Joshua was Ireland’s best bowler taking two wickets conceding 16 off three overs.
With this win, Ireland put their foot on a possible semi-final berth. They will take on the ever-improving Asian side of Afghanistan on Friday at the same venue. A win in that match will surely set them one step ahead to the semifinals.
FIFA World Cup 2022: Preview of African teams, key players, group phase fixtures
Can an African team eventually win the World Cup? Though making it to the quarterfinals is the best performance by an African team in the tournament's history. The competing teams' top priority at the FIFA World Cup 2022 should thus be to advance to the semifinals. Let’s have a look at the key players, group phase fixtures, and the preview of the African teams in the 22nd edition of the World Cup.
Which African nations will play in the Qatar World Cup 2022?
Five countries from CAF (Confederation of African Football) will partake in the FIFA World Cup 2022. The teams that will play in the main event are Cameroon, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. Among the participating teams from Africa, Cameroon will have the most appearances with eight, followed by Morocco (6), Tunisia (6), Ghana (4), and Senegal (3).

African countries' groups for the 2022 Qatar World Cup
There are eight groups in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and each of the five African countries will play in different groups. The top-ranked team from Africa, Senegal, will play in group A.

Senegal’s opponents in group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Netherlands Tunisia’s opponents in group D: France, Australia, DenmarkMorocco’s opponents in group F: Belgium, Canada, Croatia Cameroon’s opponents in group G: Brazil, Serbia, SwitzerlandGhana’s opponents in group H: Portugal, Uruguay, Korea Republic
Qatar World Cup 2022: Preview of African teams and group phase fixtures
Thirteen African countries have participated in the World Cup final events so far, and their overall record hasn’t been as impressive as expected. Besides, the only time a World Cup event was staged in Africa was back in 2010 in South Africa.
Only three African teams have reached the quarter-finals of the football World Cup and they are Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002 and Ghana in 2010. Will an African side finally break the jinx and become the first to advance to the semifinals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup? Let’s find out which teams from the CAF have the best chance to do it.

Senegal
FIFA Rank: 18 | Best Result in World Cup: (Quarter Finals, 2002)Head Coach: Aliou Cisse | Captain: Kalidou KoulibalyKey players to watch: Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Sadio Mane
The reigning Africa Cup of Nations Champions, Senegal, are the best ranked team from the continent to take part in the upcoming football World Cup. The team has some seriously talented players who play in Europe's top leagues. Senegal are early favourites to top their group. Many consider them the only realistic candidate from Africa to win the World Cup 2022. Senegal can go all the way to the finals if they find momentum from the beginning of the competition.
Senegal’s group phase fixtures: Netherlands (Nov 21), Qatar (Nov 25), Ecuador (Nov 29)
Morocco
FIFA Rank: 22 | Best Result in World Cup: (Round of 16, 1986)Head Coach: Walid Regragui | Captain: Romain SaissKey players to watch: Yassine Bounou, Achraf Hakimi, Hakim ZiyechMorocco’s chances of qualifying for the Round of 16 are slim as Croatia and Belgium are the two hot favourites in group F. However, Morocco have some quality players on their roster who should shoulder extra responsibility if they are to finish in the top two in the point standings.
Morocco’s group phase fixtures: Croatia (Nov 23), Belgium (Nov 27), Canada (Dec 1)
Tunisia
FIFA Rank: 30 | Best Result in World Cup: (Group Stage, 1978, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2018)Head Coach: Jalel Kadri | Captain: Youssef MsakniKey players to watch: Montassar Talbi, Saif-Eddine Khaoui, Youssef MsakniLike Morocco, Tunisia will also face tough battles in their group in order to finish second in the points table. From this group, Denmark and France are the two strongest candidates to reach the next stage. Most likely, the Tunisian side will battle it out against Australia for the third spot.
Tunisia’s group phase fixtures: Denmark (Nov 22), Australia (Nov 26), France (Nov 30)

Cameroon
FIFA Rank: 43 | Best Result in World Cup: (Quarter Finals, 1990)Head Coach: Rigobert Song | Captain: Vincent AboubakarKey players to watch: Nicolas Nkoulou, Karl Toko Ekambi, Vincent AboubakarCameroon have some quality players who can put up a great fight against their group stage opponents for a second-placed finish. But it will be a really tough battle as both Switzerland and Serbia will be tough opponents, while Brazil are favourites to finish top of the points table. Cameroon’s group phase fixtures: Switzerland (Nov 24), Serbia (Nov 28), Brazil (Dec 2)
Ghana
FIFA Rank: 61 | Best Result in World Cup: (Quarter Finals, 2010)Head Coach: Otto Addo | Captain: Andre AyewKey players to watch: Daniel Amartey, Thomas Partey, Jordan AyewGhana is in what is arguably the group of death, alongside Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea, all vying for a spot in the Round of 16. Ghana have some experienced and talented players who have the ability to fight hard in tough situations. They must work hard in order to advance to the next round.
Ghana’s group phase fixtures: Portugal (Nov 24), South Korea (Nov 28), Uruguay (Dec 2)
Way Forward
Senegal have the best probability of advancing to the Round of 16 given the quality of the African teams and their group-stage fixtures for the FIFA World Cup 2022. The Senegalese team has the opportunity to get to the semifinals as the first nation from Africa. Cameroon and Ghana have a decent chance of moving on to the next round, whereas Morocco and Tunisia have a slim chance of doing well in the World Cup. However, the performances of each team's key players will be crucial in the main event.

Is the FIFA Football World Cup Trophy Made of Solid Gold?
As the biggest event in international football, the FIFA World Cup captivates millions of fans around the globe every four years. And at the heart of it all is one highly coveted prize: the golden trophy. It was designed by Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga and made by the Stabilimento Artistico Bertoni company. It was first presented to Germany after they won the 1974 World Cup. But have you ever wondered just how much gold is actually in that shiny trophy of the FIFA World Cup Football Tournament?
Value of FIFA World Cup Trophy
Well, it may surprise you to learn that the FIFA World Cup trophy is not solid gold and it is hollow inside. In fact, it stands at a mere 36.5 centimeters tall and is made of 18 karats (75%) gold, weighing a total of 6.175 kilograms. It has bands of malachite on its base, which is 13 centimeters in diameter.
While this may not seem like a lot, the current market value for this amount of gold is a whopping $161,000 (around 1 crore and 70 lacs taka).
Read Technologies set to amaze at Qatar Football World Cup 2022
History of FIFA Football World Cup Trophy
What makes this trophy even more valuable is its history and significance. First introduced in 1974, it has been awarded to World Cup winning teams for over 40 years now. Only six countries have managed to claim it multiple times: Brazil (5 times), Germany (3 times), Italy (2 times), Argentina (2 times), Uruguay (2 times) and Spain (1 time).
In the past, the winning team would keep possession of the trophy until the final draw of the next tournament. However, that is no longer the case. Now, each winner of the World Cup receives a gold plated bronze replica than solid gold. The original trophy remains in FIFA’s possession and is brought out for display at each subsequent World Cup tournament.
So, while it may not be solid gold, there's no doubt that the FIFA's Football World Cup Trophy holds immense value both monetarily and sentimentally.

T20 World Cup: Australia beat Sri Lanka by 7 wickets
Marcus Stoinis hit Australia's fastest T20 fifty off just 17 balls to propel the defending champion to a seven-wicket win against Sri Lanka at the Twenty20 World Cup on Tuesday.
Australia scored 158-3 in the Super 12 game in response to Sri Lanka’s 157-6 to win with 21 balls to spare.
Australia overcame a spot of bother at 89-3 in the 13th over as Stoinis came to the rescue with 59 not out — including six sixes and four fours — off just 18 balls.
He shared an undefeated 69-run stand for the fourth wicket with skipper Aaron Finch (31 not out).
Stoinis humbled the much-vaunted Sri Lankan spin attack with legspinner Wanindu Hasaranga conceding five sixes and costing 53 runs in three overs.
It was a brilliant display of power hitting by the Australians after an 89-run thrashing by New Zealand in the tournament opener. Australia will now play rival England in a crucial game on Friday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Sri Lanka was asked to bat first on a lively pitch, got off to a slow start and managed just 63 runs in the first half of the innings before picking up momentum in the second to post what it hoped would be a competitive total.
The Australian trio of Josh Hazlewood (1-26), Pat Cummins (1-36) and Mitchell Starc (1-23) pegged down Sri Lanka's top order with relentless pace.
Cummins got rid of danger batter Kusal Mendis (5) in the second over when the opener skied a catch to Mitch Marsh.
A 69-run stand between opener Pathum Nissanka (40) and Dhananjaya de Silva (26) anchored the top order. Charith Asalanka (38 not out) and Chamika Karunaratne (14 not out) shared 37 runs for the seventh wicket.
The pair took 20 runs off Cummins in the last over.
Asalanka was the most enterprising of the Sri Lankan batters, hitting three fours and two sixes in his 25-ball knock. The entire innings produced two sixes and 12 boundaries as the Sri Lankan batters struggled to clear the big boundaries unlike the Australians.
Sri Lanka won its first game against Ireland by nine wickets.
