  • India Vs South Africa, 5th T20I: IND Wrap Up Series 3-1 With 30-Run Victory

    India signed off 2025 in emphatic style, thrashing South Africa by 30 runs in the fifth and final T20I to clinch the series 3-1, powered by explosive fifties from Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma and a decisive four-wicket burst from Varun Chakravarthy. Pandya blazed a 16-ball half-century, the second fastest by an Indian, on his way to 63 off 25, while Tilak’s fluent 73 anchored a daunting 231/5 after early fireworks from Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. South Africa’s chase stayed alive as long as Quinton de Kock’s 65 held the innings together, but once Jasprit Bumrah dismissed him, Chakravarthy ripped through the middle order as the visitors collapsed from 120/1 to 201/8, sealing a dominant finish for India.

  • AUS Vs ENG, 3rd Ashes Test: Australia Ride Head Ton, Stretch Lead To 356 Runs On Day 3

    Travis Head smashed his fourth Test century in six innings at the Adelaide Oval as Australia took the driver's seat against England at stumps on Day 3 of the third Ashes Test Friday (December 19, 2025). The Pat Cummins-led hosts dismissed the Three Lions for 286 in their first innings, before ending the day at a healthy 271 for four with the bat. Head was undefeated on 142 and wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey not out on 52 alongside him. The Aussies thus stretched their lead to 356 runs, with six wickets still intact. Trailing 0-2, the visitors' hopes of salvaging the series have virtually been dashed.

  • Australia Vs England, 3rd Ashes Test: AUS Dominate Proceedings On Day 2 As ENG Falter

    Nathan Lyon took two wickets to move past Glenn McGrath for second place on Australia’s all-time bowling list, and returning skipper Pat Cummins took his first wickets of the series as a relentless bowling attack kept England in trouble in the third Ashes test. Australia resumed Day 2 at 326-8 and was all out for 371 with Mitchell Starc posting a half-century before Jofra Archer finished off the tailenders to return 5-53, his fourth five-wicket haul in test cricket. By stumps, England had struggled to 213 for eight, still 158 behind. England was coasting at 37-0 in reply until Cummins struck. Lyon then took two wickets in his first over as England lost three wickets in 15 balls. It was a struggle the rest of the day for England, which needs to bat long to revive its chances in this five-test series on a pitch and conditions that traditionally favor batting on Day 2 at the Adelaide Oval.
