Cricket Matches This Week: Asia Cup, England vs New Zealand, South Africa vs Australia (25.08-31.08)
This week will see the commencement of some of the most important international cricket series this year. Before they participate in the Asia Cup, Pakistan and Afghanistan will play the third and final ODI of their series in Sri Lanka. 30th August is the big day this week as the Asia Cup will kick off with Pakistan hosting Nepal. Alongside the continental tournament, New Zealand’s tour of England as well as Australia’s tour of South Africa will also kick off on the same day. Here is a look at all the international clashes this week.
Afghanistan vs Pakistan, 3rd ODI
Unlike the first two games which were played at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota, the third and final ODI will take place at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The first game was won by Pakistan quite easily despite a poor performance with the bat in the first innings. In the first innings, Pakistan scored 201 runs as the Afghan spinners were among the wickets. In the second innings Pakistan fast bowlers gave a great reply as Haris Rauf took a fifer and dismissed Afghanistan for just 59 runs.
The second game was won by Pakistan by just 1 wicket as Naseem Shah once again denied Afghanistan a great win over their Asian rivals. Afghanistan after winning the toss in the second match opted to bat first and put up a great opening stand courtesy of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran. Gurbaz scored 151 while Zadran missed out on his century as he was dismissed on 80 runs. Runs from Gurbaz, Zadran, Mohammad Nabi and a quick-fire cameo from skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi helped Afghanistan reach the 300 mark in the first innings.
Pakistan in response had a great start but then quickly lost wickets in a flurry. They went from 170-1 to 211-6. Shadab Khan came to the rescue and almost stayed till the finish before he was run out in the final over. Naseem Shah’s two fours helped steal a win.
Asia Cup
Pakistan vs Nepal, Group A
Pakistan the co-hosts with Sri Lanka of the Asia Cup will host Nepal in the first game at Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan. The home team will walk as favourites against Nepal who are just making their debut in the Asia Cup. This should be a walk in the park for the Babar Azam-led side as they gear up for their clash against India.
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Group B
The first of Group B can be an exciting affair as this is the group where the battle for the top two positions can go down to the wire. In recent times, Bangladesh has been a better side in recent times and even qualified directly for the ODI World Cup while Sri Lanka had to play the qualifiers. In spite of Bangladesh’s recent success, Sri Lanka at their home would be slight favourites in an overall exciting clash.
Australia tour of South Africa
South Africa vs Australia, 1st T20I
Australia will begin their white-ball tour as well as their preparations for the ODI World Cup. The tour will begin with the three-match T20I series followed by a three-match ODI series. Dewald Brevis is the exciting addition to both of the South African squads while the visitors have relied heavily on their all-rounder department consisting of the likes of Mitchell Marsh (T20I captain), Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell as well as Cameron Green and Ashton Agar in the ODI squad. While the Aiden Markram-led side will be playing with one proper all-rounder which is Marco Jansen. It will be interesting to see which players play the T20I games as both sides will be focussing on the ODI series to gear up for the ODI World Cup.
New Zealand tour of England
England vs New Zealand, 1st T20I
New Zealand’s tour of England is another tour that will begin with the T20I series and conclude with a four-match ODI series. The current T20 World Cup champions will be hosting New Zealand for the four-match T20I series. The T20I series will be a test for players from both sides who are in the scheme of things for the ODI World Cup. England will look to have a look at some fresh faces for the T20 World Cup next year as they begin the move away from their older players. Will Jacks from England is an exciting talent who has found recent success in The Hundred with both bat and ball. The New Zealand T20I squad consists of most of its core members of the ODI set-up. The two big names that will be missing the T20I series are Tom Latham and Trent Boult. Both of them are part of the ODI squad.
