This World Cup is witnessing a lot of mix-ups while running between the wickets and yet another instance piqued the interests during the encounter between Bangladesh and Australia. Soumya Sarkar fell short of his crease after a horrible mix-up and Aaron Finch did well to hit the stumps from mid-on.

Jaykishan Plaha, who was hit on his head in the nets by David Warner, has stated that the cricketer has been very kind to him after that. After spending four nights in the hospital, Plaha was invited by Warner and presented an Australia jersey to watch the game between Australia and Sri Lanka.

In cricket, half chances must be converted into opportunities and one cannot afford to give a top-order batsman a reprieve as more often than not he will make it count. Sabbir Rahman’s ordinary effort at mid-on gave a struggling David Warner life as he was at least 13 metres away from the crease.

Former Australian batsman Michael Hussey has stated that India have enough depth to cover for Shikhar Dhawan, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to a fractured thumb. Dhawan has been one of the pillars of strength and has been replaced by an explosive batsman Rishabh Pant.
