India Women’s cricket team will face their toughest challenge in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2026 as they take on Australia Women in a must-win game in order to reach the semis. The poor record of the Women in Blue against the 6-time champions gives the latter an advantage in the contest. In men’s cricket, an scoring error during the IRE vs IND 1st T20I means Abhishek Sharma has been denied a half-century. Talking about India A’s unofficial Test against SL-A, Auqib Nabi shined, picking up four wickets on Day 3. On that note, let’s take a look at the top headlines from Saturday.

A scoring correction later in the innings of the IRE vs IND 1st T20I revealed that one run credited to Abhishek Sharma had actually come as a leg-bye. The adjustment reduced his score from 50 to 49, meaning the left-hander walked back with 49 off 20 balls instead of what would have been one of the fastest fifties of his international career. That would not only have been the third-fastest T20I fifty against Ireland, but it would also have extended a remarkable record he already owns. Read more here.

Not many expected T20 world champions Team India to lose a match to Ireland, anywhere in the world. Yet, that became a reality when Ireland punished India for dropped catches, clueless bowling and timid batting with a 34-run win in the IND vs IRE 1st T20I. Now, Shreyas Iyer and Gautam Gambhir would want to avoid a historic clean sweep on Sunday in the 2nd T20I in Belfast. And India need to solve a few puzzles before that. Read more here.
Auqib Nabi’s remainder for selectors
J&K pacer Auqib Nabi might not be the express pacer that so many of the Indian fans might be looking for, but he might just be the skilled bowler, that the Test side should be looking for. The 29-year-old pacer showed once again, why his skill with the ball is second to none; on Saturday, on a placid Galle wicket, in his very first IND A outing, he bagged a four-fer against SL A, returning with figures of 4/58 in 19.4 overs. This performance, once again will put him under the spotlight, and ask the selectors a simple questions — ‘when is he getting his India Test cap?’ Read more here.
