Saqlain Mushtaq is likely to become Pakistan’s new coach. The PCB has announced refunds for washed-out matches, and Delhi Capitals secured a playoff spot after a significant win over RCB in the WPL 2025.
In the latest updates from the world of cricket, South Africa has emerged as the leader of Group B in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, following a dominating seven-wicket victory over England. The match saw South Africa chase down England’s total of 179, with notable performances from Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen, who both scored half-centuries and helped secure the win in just over 29 overs.
In preparation for their upcoming match against New Zealand, India may see the return of fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, potentially replacing Mohammed Shami in the lineup. Shami is being considered for rest due to his recent recovery from a lengthy injury, while Singh aims to make a significant impact after playing only nine ODIs.
Pakistan’s cricketing landscape may see changes in leadership as former spinner Saqlain Mushtaq is positioned to take over as head coach from Aaqib Javed. The Pakistani team, which has struggled in recent tournaments and failed to secure wins in their home campaign, may benefit from Mushtaq’s leadership in their next series against New Zealand, as reported by Qadir Khawaja.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced full ticket refunds for two fixtures of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy that were abandoned due to rain at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. As per the PCB’s policy, fans will receive refunds if matches are canceled before the toss, minimizing the financial impact of the washouts.
In the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025, the Delhi Capitals defeated defending champions RCB by nine wickets, securing their playoff position. RCB set a score of 147, with Ellyse Perry scoring a significant 60 runs. However, the Capitals showcased their strength with Shafali Verma leading with an unbeaten 80 runs, culminating in a comfortable win within just over 15 overs, thereby enhancing their standing in the points table.
In summary, South Africa confidently leads Group B in the ICC Champions Trophy following a decisive victory over England. India prepares for a potential lineup change with Arshdeep Singh’s expected return. Changes in Pakistan’s coaching staff may be on the horizon, while the PCB supports fans after rainouts with full ticket refunds. Finally, the Delhi Capitals’ dominant win solidifies their playoff position in the WPL 2025 season.
