**ICC Women’s World Cup: Rain Denies Pakistan Victory Over England**

*By Rajdeep Saha | Oct 15, 2025 | 10:23 pm*

Rain played the ultimate spoilsport in Match 16 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 held at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday. Pakistan showcased a dominant performance against England and appeared well poised for a memorable win. However, the weather had the final say, denying Pakistan a much-needed victory.

England posted a total of 133/9 in their 31 overs. In reply, Pakistan began strongly, reaching 34/0 with a revised target of 113 runs. Unfortunately, rain interrupted play once again and the match was ultimately declared a no result.

**Match Summary**

The match saw England struggling early, falling to 79/7 after 25 overs before rain forced a suspension of play. When play resumed, the innings was reduced to 31 overs per side. England battled back to finish with 133/9, recovering from 75/5 in the final six overs.

Pakistan’s openers got off to a promising start, scoring 34 runs in 6.4 overs. But just as they were building momentum, rain returned and the match was called off, leaving both teams sharing the points.

**Highlights**

England’s batting effort was marked by wickets falling at regular intervals, preventing them from posting a challenging total. The standout performer with the bat was Charlie Dean, who top-scored for England with 33 runs.

For Pakistan, skipper Fatima Sana was exceptional with the ball, claiming four wickets for 27 runs in 6 overs. Sadia Iqbal also impressed, taking 2/16 in her 6 overs, including 2 maidens. Pakistan’s bowling kept England in check before rain intervened.

**Points Table Update**

Following this match, England continue to lead the standings. They have remained unbeaten after four matches, accumulating 7 points with a superior net run rate (NRR) of +1.864, edging out Australia in second place.

On the other hand, Pakistan remain at the bottom of the table with just one point from three games (one no result and three losses). Their campaign will need a strong turnaround in the upcoming fixtures if they hope to climb the rankings.

**Afghanistan Complete Clean Sweep Against Bangladesh in 3rd ODI with 200-Run Victory**

*By Rajdeep Saha | October 15, 2025, 12:39 AM*

Afghanistan have sealed a comprehensive clean sweep in the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, dominating the final game by a massive margin of 200 runs. The match, held in Abu Dhabi, saw Afghanistan post a formidable total of 293 for nine before bowling out Bangladesh for a mere 93 runs.

This series win mirrors Bangladesh’s recent success over Afghanistan in the T20I format by the same 3-0 margin earlier this month, highlighting the competitive nature between the two sides across formats.

### Afghanistan’s Batting Struggles and Recovery

Afghanistan’s innings began positively with an excellent opening partnership. Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz added 99 runs for the first wicket, setting the foundation for a strong total. However, after Gurbaz’s dismissal, Afghanistan endured a mini-collapse, losing four wickets for just 15 runs within 25 balls.

Despite this setback, Mohammad Nabi’s explosive finishing ensured Afghanistan reached a challenging target. Nabi impressed with his powerful hitting, smashing three sixes in four balls off Mehidy Hasan Miraz, followed by another six and three fours off Hasan Mahmud during the final overs.

### Key Performers: Zadran and Nabi Shine

Ibrahim Zadran was Afghanistan’s top scorer, crafting a patient 95 runs that anchored the innings. Mohammad Nabi provided the much-needed acceleration with an aggressive 62 runs off 37 balls, proving to be the chief architect behind Afghanistan’s strong finishing.

Nabi’s late blitz helped Afghanistan surpass the 290-run mark, as the team was initially projected to end around 250-260 before his onslaught in the closing overs.

### Afghanistan’s Bowling Dominance

Afghanistan’s bowlers then ran through Bangladesh’s batting line-up. Rashid Khan set the tone early, taking three wickets in his first three overs, including the prized wicket of Towhid Hridoy on his very first delivery. This early breakthrough put Bangladesh under immense pressure.

Following Rashid’s impactful spell, Bilal Sami took charge with an outstanding bowling performance, claiming five wickets in total. His efforts helped bowl Bangladesh out for only 93 runs, sealing a commanding victory and completing Afghanistan’s series clean sweep.

**Summary:**
Afghanistan’s comprehensive 200-run victory over Bangladesh in the third ODI capped off a dominant 3-0 series victory. Key contributions from Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, and the lethal bowling spells from Rashid Khan and Bilal Sami proved decisive in the Abu Dhabi encounter.

Shivam Dube to miss Ranji Trophy opener with back stiffness

**Shivam Dube to Miss Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy Opener Due to Back Stiffness**

*By Rajdeep Saha | October 14, 2025, 11:35 PM*

Mumbai all-rounder Shivam Dube has been ruled out of his team’s first Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, scheduled to take place in Srinagar starting Wednesday, due to back stiffness.

### Injury and Recovery

Dube had travelled with the Mumbai squad to Jammu and Kashmir but returned to Mumbai after experiencing discomfort in his back. The cold weather conditions reportedly aggravated his stiffness, prompting the team’s medical staff to advise rest. A source from the Mumbai Cricket Association confirmed to *The Indian Express* that Dube came back on Tuesday night to focus on recovery.

Despite missing the opener, Mumbai remains hopeful that Dube will regain full fitness in time to participate in India’s upcoming five-match T20 series against Australia, commencing on October 23.

### Impact on the Team

Shivam Dube’s absence will undoubtedly be felt given his all-round prowess. Known for his powerful hitting—especially his ability to clear sixes off spinners—Dube played a key role in India’s recent Asia Cup triumph. While he continues to be a vital member of the Indian T20 squad, Dube has also represented Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy over the past couple of seasons.

Mumbai will look to compensate for his absence with the return of middle-order batsman Musheer Khan.

### Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy Campaign

Mumbai is placed in Elite Group D alongside Hyderabad, Delhi, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Pondicherry, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir. The team traveled to J&K recently under the leadership of their new captain, Shardul Thakur.

The squad also features established Indian players such as Ajinkya Rahane and Sarfaraz Khan, who will be key contributors as Mumbai aims for a strong performance this season.

*By Parth Dhall | Oct 14, 2025 | 07:10 PM*

India recently defeated the West Indies 2-0 in the two-match Test series after clinching victory in the Delhi Test on October 14. Led by Shubman Gill, India successfully chased down 121 runs on the final day, following the enforcement of the follow-on.

According to Cricbuzz, India now shares the record for the most consecutive Test series wins against a single opposition. Between 2002 and 2025, India has won 10 successive Test series against the West Indies.

### 1. India: 10 Consecutive Series Wins vs West Indies (2002–2025*)
India continues to dominate West Indies in Test cricket. Once considered a powerhouse in the sport, the West Indies have not won a Test series against India in over two decades. The last time the Windies beat India in a Test series was in May 2002, also marking their last Test victory over India.

Additionally, in the recent Delhi Test, India achieved their 27th consecutive Test match without defeat against the West Indies. This is the highest number of back-to-back Test wins by India against any single opposition in the history of the format.

### 2. South Africa: 10 Consecutive Series Wins vs West Indies (1998–2024*)
India’s record equals that of South Africa, who also have 10 successive Test series wins against the West Indies. South Africa’s dominance spans from 1998 to 2024, with series victories in 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2014, 2021, 2023, and 2024.

Notably, West Indies have only one Test series win over South Africa, which came in 1992. The Windies last won a Test match against South Africa in 2007.

### Additional Information:
**Australia: 9 Consecutive Series Wins vs West Indies (2000–2022)**
Australia is the only other team against whom the West Indies have lost nine or more successive Test series. Australian dominance stretched over two decades from 2000 to 2022. The Windies’ last Test series victory against Australia dates back to 1992.
