APL 2022 | UTL vs RYLS | Jagarlapudi, Rasheed stars for Rayalaseema Kings to knockout Uttarandhra Lions

For Rayalaseema Kings, Jagarlapudi Ram flourished in his role as a bowler, claiming a four-fer. While in the second innings, Shaik Rasheed's 55-ball 85 headlined the run-chase.

As it happened


Rayalaseema Kings (RYLS) came out on top in the Eliminator 1 of the Andhra Premier League (APL) 2022, gaining a five-wicket victory at the expense of Uttarandhra Lions (UTL).


Rasheed, Girinath hits a home run


As seen in the tournament, targets above 150 runs have left the chasing teams in tricky situations. However, for RYLS, Rasheed and Girinath made a headway that helped them gun down a 189-run target as if it was a child's play.


Once languishing at 6/3, the Kings seemed down and out. But a 73-run stand between Rasheed and Thanneru Vamsi Krishna for the fourth wicket revived the sinking ship.


Following Girinath's dismissal at 48 runs, Jagarlapudi with his quickfire 13-run cameo guided his side past the finishing line with five wickets and two balls to spare.

Uttarandhra Lions were led by Gulfaam Saleh with the bat, who with his 80-run knock, pushed his side to a 188-run total.


While the UTL bowlers had a tough day at the office, Jagarlapudi came to his team's rescue, bagging a four-wicket haul to bring regular halts in the opposition's innings.


Apart from Saleh, Srikar Bharat and Kothakoona Lakshman were the other two performers who shone with the bat, scoring 29 and 31 runs, respectively.

Hired Matthew Mott after suspecting Eoin Morgan would retire, says ECB Director Rob Key

Since former England player Robert Key took charge of affairs for England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), ‘The Three Lions’ have been on a high. Key, who is the ECB's Managing Director for Men's Cricket, headed the appointment of Brendon McCullum and Matthew Mott as England's head coaches for the red-and-white ball formats, respectively. These decisions have yielded remarkable results thus far. The former England batter has now revealed why Mott was chosen for the post, which at the time looked like a hasty decision. Why Mott was the perfect choice for England…. Speaking to The Guardian, Key said that with Eoin Morgan's impending retirement looming over English cricket, Mott seemed like the perfect guy to usher the team into a new era. "One of the reasons I wanted someone with experience was in case Eoin Morgan gave it up. When I came in, he (Morgan) pretty much ran the entire setup. He never guaranteed, 'I will definitely be there for the World Cup', and that became part of the decision-making process. This team really ran itself with Eoin Morgan. What's the best way to do it when he's not there? That's why Matthew Mott. I wasn't expecting this, but it was part of the thinking," Key added. Morgan announced his retirement from international cricket last month after serving as captain of the white-ball side since 2015. Key came into cricket administration after England suffered series losses to Australia and West Indies, under Chris Silverwood's coaching and Joe Root's captaincy.

Can they play white-ball?: Key The 43-year-old cricketer-turned-administrator also spoke about the problems within England's setup, pertaining to injuries to key bowlers (Jofra Archer and Mark Wood). He said, "The ones (where) it becomes an issue are Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, your fast bowlers. The problem will come if they are all fit, then you've got a decision to make - can they play every Test match? Can they play every white-ball game? But at the moment none of them are fit." Hopeful he will be involved in everything: Key Key remains hopeful of Archer playing in all formats for England despite his run-ins with injuries that have kept him out of action for over a year. "I'm hopeful he will be involved in everything. Unless someone who knows a lot more about backs and injuries (tells me otherwise), I will not change my view on that," concluded the former Sky Sports commentator.

ENG vs IND | Rohit Sharma rues dropped catches after the defeat in the 2nd ODI

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma attributed the massive 100-run loss in the second ODI of the three-match series against England at Lord's to dropped catches in the game. England thrashed India by 100 runs in the second ODI to level the series 1-1 with one game to go on Sunday (July 17) at Old Trafford, Manchester. Batting first, the hosts were dismissed for 246 in 49 overs. Moeen Ali top scored for his team with 47. In response, India was blown away for just 146, courtesy of a sensational spell of bowling by left-arm pacer Reece Topley.

However, the batting unit let the team down eventually. "We bowled pretty well. They had the partnership in the middle with Moeen (Ali) and (David) Willey. Not that the target wasn't chasable, we just didn't get there," Rohit said during the post-match presentation ceremony. The Indian team was poor in the field as well. In the eighth over of the first innings, Jasprit Bumrah was guilty of dropping Jason Roy, who went on to put together a handy 41-run opening stand with Jonny Bairstow. After that, Prasidh Krishna dropped David Willey off Hardik Pandya's bowling while fielding at fine-leg. Need to take catches to win games - Rohit Sharma The Indian opener stressed on the importance of fielding well in order to win games. He summarized the game by saying that his team bowled well but didn't bat well which is why India couldn't chase a par total. "(On the dropped catch of Willey) If you want to win games, you have to take those catches... All in all, we bowled well. We just didn't bat well. I thought the pitch would get better, but there was something for the bowlers throughout," Rohit concluded. Read: 'Bazball' the phrase devalues what Stokes and McCullum have done: Rob Key
