Recent Matches – Who Won and Why It Matters
The past week saw a clash between India and England in a high‑octane T20 series. India edged out England by six runs, thanks to a late surge from the middle order. Hardik Pandya’s quickfire 45 off 22 balls turned the tide, while England’s bowlers couldn’t contain the spin duo of Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Meanwhile, Australia hosted South Africa in a three‑day Test that ended in a draw. The pitch was tough on batters early on, but Steve Smith’s patient 112 saved the day for the Aussies. On the SA side, Kagiso Rabada’s five‑wicket haul reminded everyone why he’s a world‑class pacer.
What to Watch in Upcoming Cricket Matches
Looking ahead, the big story is the ICC World Cup qualifier slated for next month. Teams like Pakistan, New Zealand and West Indies are all eyeing that final spot. Keep an eye on Pakistan’s opening partnership – a steady start from Babar Azam can set the tone for the whole tournament.
In domestic leagues, the IPL is heating up with a surprise unbeaten streak by Rajasthan Royals. Their death‑overs strategy, especially the use of leg‑spinners in the last ten overs, could become a blueprint for other sides.
Don’t miss the upcoming Ashes Test at Lord’s – the first day promises early swing under overcast skies. If England’s seamers can exploit that, they’ll put pressure on Australia right from the start.
