Southern Brave vs Northern Superchargers: When & where to watch match LIVE, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

The Southern Brave and the Northern Superchargers have had a similar fate so far in the inaugural edition of the Hundred, and hence when they will meet in the 21st match, one of them will slip further down from their current standings at the points table.

Both the Superchargers and the Brave have been able to grasp two wins out of five games played so far and their journey is similar in terms of losing games as well.

Both these sides are filled with internationally acclaimed superstars, but they have not been able to transcend reputation into performances, thereby leaving them poor in the campaign.

On paper though, the Northern Superchargers appear to be a far stronger side and will test depth and all the bravery of the Brave at the Rose Bowl, Southampton.

Pitch Report

The pitch in Southampton has thrown up high-scoring games in limited-overs cricket and it should not be any different for this game. The boundary size straight down the ground is not huge and batsmen would enjoy hitting the balls.

Bangladesh script history, thrash listless Australia to win first ever series against them

Bangladesh defeated Australia by 10 runs in the third T20 international and registered their first-ever series win over Australia. Chasing a modest total of 128 runs, Australia needed 22 runs from the last over to keep the series alive after losing the first two games of the series. However, Mahedi Hasan held his nerves and denied the pair of Alex Carey and Dan Christian the chance to win the game. The bowling trio of Mustafizur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan and Nasum Ahmed were the chief architects of Bangladesh’s historic series win. and Australia suffered from the lack of firepower and experience of playing on low and slow surfaces. They dropped Josh Phillipe, who has not had a good form with the bat and the stand-in skipper Matthew Wade promoted himself back to the top of the order. The move, however, did not yield fruitful results as he perished very early on and his partner Ben McDermott could not quite get into the momentum of scoring runs. Mitchell Marsh enhanced his reputation further with another slow and steady fifty run score. However, lack of support from the other end and his inability t break free against Mustafizur and spinners did not help Australia at all. Earlier, Bangladesh too suffered a collapse of their top order with openers Mohammad Naim and Soumya Sarkar failing to get going. Shakib played some delightful strokes to get Bangladesh going, but could not quite extend his 17-ball 26 cameo to something substantial. The hosts’ captain Mahmudullah scored a half-century but he battled to keep up the pace of his innings and it took a short cameo from Nurul Hasan that helped them post a respectable total. The debutant Nathan Ellis registered a phenomenal record to his name on his international debut when scalped out Mustafizur Rahman, Mahedi Hasan, and Shoriful Islam on three consecutive balls to claim a hattrick. However, the feat came very late in the piece for Australia to have any say on Bangladesh’s batting efforts. The series has gone to Bangladesh and Australia have been handed a harsh reality check about their preparations leading up to an all-important World T20 in the UAE later this year.

BAN vs AUS | 3rd T20I: Nathan Ellis picks up hattrick on T20I debut

Australia’s Nathan Ellis etched his name in the record books after scalping a hat trick on his T20I debut against Bangladesh on Friday (August 6, 2021) during the third encounter in Dhaka. He became the first bowler to achieve the feat. The right-handed bowler’s wickets included the dismissals of Mahmudullah, Mustafizur Rahman and Mahedi Hasan on the trot in the last over. Bangladesh’s Taijul Islam, South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada, Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga and Shehan Madushanka have picked up hat tricks in their maiden ODI appearances. Batting first, the home side were restricted to 127/9 in 20 overs. Bangladesh didn’t have a positive start to the proceedings and lost a couple of early wickets before Shakib al Hasan and Mahmudullah chipped in with a partnership of 44 runs for the third wicket. Shakib eventually departed for 26 off 17 while captain Mahmudullah notched up a half-century. The hosts kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were left tottering at 97/6 before the innings concluded at 127/9. Ellis returned with figures of 3/34 in 4 overs while Josh Hazlewood bagged a couple of wickets at the cost of 16 runs in 4 overs. Australia are presently trailing the five-match series 0-2.

BCCI mandates strict biosecure bubbles to host Covid-free IPL 2021 in UAE

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is taking no risk in organising the remainder of the Indian Premier League season that was halted earlier in the year due to the Covid-19 outbreak in multiple franchises. Hence, the board and the IPL governing council are giving a lot of importance to biosecure bubble management for the part of the tournament slated to take place in the United Arab Emirates. The Board has decided to create as many as 14 bubbles for the tournament—eight of which will be for the franchises while the remaining six will be equally divided between the match officials and broadcasting crews, as per an ANI report. Furthermore, all members of franchises have been mandated to enter biosecure bubbles only after serving a mandatory quarantine period of six days, the report added. The BCCI has also made it clear that all members of the franchises will have to move via dedicated vehicles only. The BCCI and the governing council however have decided to concede some concessions to players and broadcasters who will be coming into the tournament from already secure bubbles in different parts of the world. Players and broadcasting crews staying under bubbles during the ongoing series between India and England, and the upcoming edition of the Caribbean Premier League and South Africa tour of Sri Lanka will get the luxury of swift transfer from one bubble to another without having to serve a mandatory quarantine period, the report claimed further. The BCCI has also asked all franchisees to ensure full vaccination of all the support staff and players who will be travelling to the UAE for the remainder of the IPL 2021.
