Sports Bulletin Report DUNEDIN:-Suzie Bates blasted 79 not out on her home ground of Dunedin as New Zealand earned a nine-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022. Bates also passed 1,000 World Cup runs in a 108-run partnership with Amelia Kerr as the White Ferns chased down 141 in a rain-reduced match on the South Island. Bangladesh reached 140 for eight from 27 overs after a long delay, but New Zealand were always on top of the chase, knocking off the runs in exactly 20 overs to earn their first win of the home World Cup. Bangladesh were put in to bowl by New Zealand after a rain delay that lasted four hours but made a bright start. Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr were not able to find their lengths as anything short was dispatched for a boundary by openers Shamima Sultana and Fargana Hoque Pinky. With the five-over power play complete, Bangladesh looked to be racing to a competitive total on 41 for no loss. Amelia Kerr then came into the attack to try and show her older sister how it was done, going for four from her first over as Bangladesh brought up their fifty. Prior to making their competition debut in New Zealand, Bangladesh had made just two opening stands of over 50 in their previous 41 ODIs and had not produced one in 28 games. But Shamima contributed 30 from 28 with Pinky on 15 from 14 to bring up their second 50-plus opening stand in their first World Cup campaign. However, the partnership would end on 59 as Frankie Mackay got the breakthrough on her first World Cup appearance since 2013. Shamima was forced to go for 33 from 36 balls as a sliding Tahuhu took the catch at deep backward square. That brought captain Nigar Sultana out to the middle and she hit the first boundary since the sixth over off the third delivery of the 13th. But she would not last much longer as Amy Satterthwaite came on for her first over and had her caught behind by Dunedin native Katey Martin after Sultana slashed at a wide one. New Zealand’s start was a little more sedate even as the rain began to fall again, Sophie Devine facing the first over from Alam with Bates at the other end having walked out on her home ground. Bates was able to have a giggle with Alam as the seamer pulled out of her run-up when she had already begun inching down the track ready for a big heave. With the powerplay over, the White Ferns were behind Bangladesh at the same stage on 29-0 and then lost Devine as she rocked back and missed a swing at a Khatun delivery and was bowled for 16. Out came Amelia Kerr and her and Bates steadied the run chase with the fifty-partnership coming up just after the halfway mark after a no ball. A slow over was not what New Zealand wanted as the rain set in with 20 overs needed for a result to count, but then Bates started motoring. Her fifty came up in the next over, a 12th ODI half-century brought up in 51 balls, and a first chance to raise the bat in a New Zealand jersey at her home ground. She was still playing with fire and should have been gone on 58 but keeper Sultana couldn’t hold on to the wet ball to take the bails off with Bates way out of her ground. With the first ball of the 19th over, Bates reached a remarkable milestone as her 75 runs took her past 1000 runs in Women’s Cricket World Cups, becoming only the second White Fern to do so after Debbie Hockley. With New Zealand moving to 135 for one, it was only a matter of time before the win was sealed. And it was Amelia Kerr who got them there, striking the ball for four to end on 47 not out, with Bates down the other end on an unbeaten 79 having shared a magnificent 108-partnership to earn New Zealand a first win at their home World Cup after losing a close match to the West Indies. Scores in brief New Zealand beat Bangladesh at University Oval, Dunedin by nine wickets Bangladesh 140/8 in 27.0 overs (Fargana Hoque Pinky 52, Shamima Sultana 33; Amy Satterthwaite 3/25, Hayley Jensen 1/18) New Zealand 145/1 in 20.0 overs (Suzie Bates 79 not out, Amelia Kerr 47 not out; Salma Khatun 1/34, Lata Mondol 0/9) Player of the Match: Suzie Bates (New Zealand).

BIPIN DANI The Indian women's team won its first ICC World Cup match against Pakistan on Sunday. However, according to a renowned astrologer who is known for his cricket predictions, Mithali Raj will not be able to bring the trophy. Mithali Raj the veteran Indian captain has been given the task to lead India to victory in her last hurrah. Greenstone Lobo predicted 1 in 2017 on the eve of the final between England and India, that India will falter in the final hurdle. And it did happen and England won the World Cup. So, what is going against India this time? According to Lobo, there are two reasons. "The first reason is that Mithali isn’t the right person to be leading the team right now. Her birth chart was good enough to make her a legendary batter, but it cannot help her win the coveted trophy. You need more positive planetary arrangements, which is lacking in Mitali’s chart". "The second important reason is that Indian coach Ramesh Powar doesn't have a horoscope good enough to become the greatest coach ever for the Indian women’s cricket team. If Powar leads India to victory, he would have done something which no other coach has done before and the weak horoscope of Powar doesn’t guarantee that ''. So, Is there any other captain in India who could have done that? "Yes, '' says Lobo -"Harmanpreet Kaur. If Harmanpreet was the captain with the erstwhile WV Raman as the coach, then that magic would have been possible. Alas, it seems that wasn’t destined to be". So, which country would win the marquee event then? Well, the answer isn’t surprising. "It is going to be Australia. Meg Lanning has probably the best horoscope amongst all women players in the current era and will go on to be a great. She has already won a couple of Twenty20 world cups and is a fabulous batter too. She will assert her greatness by Captaining Australia to win the crowning glory of Cricket – the World Cup", signs off Lobo.

Sports Bulletin Report ISLAMABAD:-India recorded an impressive 107-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan despite an off-colour performance from their batters, thanks to a record seventh-wicket partnership between all-rounders Pooja Vastrakar and Sneh Rana at the Bay Oval in Tauranga on Sunday. India were struggling at 114 for six at one stage and seemed to be under pressure when Vastrakar and Rana blasted their highest ODI scores to lift India to a competitive 244 for seven much to the delight of their fans who shouted in support and encouragement. In reply, Pakistan never got going as they slipped to 98 for seven, wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh taking a record five dismissals on World Cup debut as India earned their first win in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022. India won the toss and chose to bat with the Bay Oval bathed in glorious sunshine, but there was a storm brewing in the middle as Shafali Verma was dismissed for a duck. Diana Baig cleaned up her leg stump as Verma’s issues in the one-day format continued on to the World Cup stage. Fellow opener Smriti Mandhana would provide the release, scoring the first boundary with the 25th ball of the innings. Mandhana was timing the ball beautifully but boundaries still proved hard to come by, a pre-meditated strike down the ground in the final over of the power play landed so forcefully it plugged short of the boundary. She didn’t let that stop her as two balls later the ball sailed over the boundary to bring up India’s first six and end the powerplay with India 33 for one. Pakistan’s fielding had been accurate with singles cut off and boundary hopes reeled in, but at the 20 over mark the field settings grew more and more defensive. Mandhana’s fifty would soon come bringing it up off 71 balls to register her 25th score over fifty, but a first against Pakistan. There would be little time to celebrate as Deepti Sharma was bowled by Nashra Sundhu with the very next ball. A collapse was beginning as Mandhana fell for 52 as Anam Amin produced a stunning caught and bowled to leave two new batters at the crease. Those batters were still to be feared even if they were on nought, Harmanpreet Kaur now joined by Mithali Raj as she embarked on a record sixth World Cup campaign. Kaur would not threaten though as she was given out lbw for five from 14 as Nida Dar became the fourth bowler to take a wicket and India slipped to 108 for four. The young star Richa Ghosh could not succeed where her elders had failed as she went for a five-ball duck with Dar picking up her second as Ghosh chopped onto her wickets. Pakistan were on top as Fatima Sana earned a maiden over before Sundhu got her second as Raj was forced to go, walking off as slowly as she has scored, her nine coming from 36 balls. It felt like India’s tail was set to wag quickly with the Women in Blue on 114 for six but Pooja Vastrakaer joined Sneh Rana with other ideas. With 34.4 overs gone, Vastrakar showed her intent by scoring the first boundary since the second delivery of the 17th over. The duo brought up their fifty partnership off 43 balls and they hadn’t even got properly going as overs 40 to 42 went for 10 or more runs. The fact that Sundhu then bowled an over that only conceded six felt like a success to show how far Pakistan had let the game slip. Both batters brought up their highest ODI scores before Vastrakar had to go for 67 from 59 balls ending a World Cup record seventh-wicket partnership of 122. Jhulan Goswami would end the innings with a four to bring India to 244 for seven, which seemed unlikely 16 overs before. Goswami would then open the bowling in her fifth World Cup as Pakistan made a slow start, making just 26 from the first 10 overs. The fact they had not lost a wicket was a silver lining that soon disappeared as Javeria Khan was caught by Goswami off the bowling of Gayakwad. Out came captain Bismah Maroof, but she could make only 15 from 24 balls as she was caught behind with Pakistan slipping to 53 for two. After her heroics with the bat, Rana then dismissed Omaima Sohail with her second ball before Goswami got her first to dismiss anchor Sidra Amin for 30 from 64 balls. Doing so brought out Aliya Riaz who ended both warm-up games not out with scores over 40, but not this time. Riaz would make 11 from 23 balls before being stumped by Ghosh, her fourth involvement of the innings to make amends for her batting performance. Sana was next to fall as Pakistan lost their seventh wicket for just 98 runs, no matching Rana and Vastrakar. Another small partnership was made for Pakistan as Baig joined Sidra Nawaz in the middle before Gayakwad got her fourth of the afternoon, an Indian spinner again doing the business. While Gayakwad had to wait another over to attempt her five-fer, Ghosh picked up hers as she caught Sundhu for a duck becoming the first wicket-keeper to take five dismissals on World Cup debut. With Gayakwad getting the chance to bowl her final over, each delivery was met by chants and cheers that had boomed round the ground all afternoon. Baig played with no fear taking six runs off her to deny her a five-fer but she still earned figures of four for 31. A seventh-wicket partnership had not materialised but it looked as though a tenth-wicket one was forming as Baig and Anam Amin frustrated India’s push for victory. Kaur would take the final catch as Baig had to go for an entertaining 24 from 35 balls as India got their World Cup campaign up and running with Pakistan all out for 137. Scores in brief India beat Pakistan at Bay Oval, Tauranga by 107 runs India 244/7 in 50.0 overs (Pooja Vastrakar 67, Sneh Rana 53 not out; Nashra Sandhu 2/36, Nida Dar 2/45) Pakistan 137 in 43.0 overs (Sidra Ameen 30, Diana Baig 24; Rajeshwari Gayakwad 4/31, Jhulan Goswami 2/26) Player of the Match: Pooja Vastrakar

BIPIN DANI Shane Warne's funeral will take place in Melbourne, Australia, according to his manager James Ereskine.  The 52-year-old legendary spinner passed (suspected due to the heart-attack) away in Thailand.  Speaking from Sydney, the  manager informs : "Warne along with his four friends went to Thailand (from Melbourne) on Wednesday. He was not on any cricketing assignments but on a holiday. One among the four is there is our office staff".  "The dead-body will be brought to Australia for his final rites. It may take a few more days as the High Commissioner's office is also involved in the process".    With Warne's exit, Muthiah Muralitharan has lost his cricket-partner.  "It (the age of 52) is not the age for any cricketer to leave", Muthiah Muralitharan, speaking exclusively to this reporter, said over the telephone.  "It is very shocking news and very hard to digest.

All his fans will miss him", Murali added.  Warne was the second highest Test wicket taker (708) after Murali's 800.  The series between Sri Lanka and Australia is played for the Warne-Muralitharan trophy.  "It is a very black day in international cricket when two great players-Rod Marsh and Warne passed away on the same day.  It will not be surprising if the players of both teams or at least the Sri Lanka's  wear a black armband on the second day of the ongoing Mohali Test on Saturday.
