News – New Zealand has won the toss and decided to bowl first ,, India is unchanged a brave move indeed .. and New Zealand brought in Jacob Duffy in place of McConchie .. not such a great idea that McConchie had pulled a win for them in very recent times when chips were down..
Varun has a chance to displace Shadley van Schalkwyk from top of the Bowler’s list.. he has to pick one wicket at whatever cost.. I say that as New Zealand have been brutal for opponents while chasing in this tournament ..
Only Time would Tell How much score India would put up at Narendra Modi stadium and if that is going to be enough.. again I say as 253 were just seven runs away from the reach of Englishmen the other night.. Remember this is a big ground sixes may not be easy or spontaneous .. 200 plus is what we expect from India to say the least.. but do not throw your bat at every ball .. plan it out ..
IndiaNew Zealand
India the defending champions are under pressure to perform to their best against a side that has never won the T20 World Cup so far .. it would be wrong to call New Zealand underdogs.. their batting skills are definitely at its peak and bowling department is slightly weak compared to India.. Ahmedabad could find India making changes to their winning XI .. New Zealand is likely to retain their winning formula or bring in Ish Sodhi for James Neesham .. Abhishek Sharma – The Mr. Maximum is for now Mr. Minimum .. he is among those batsman who failed to reach 100 runs in the tournament .. The mystery of Varun Chakravarthy has been truly demystified it was sad that captain and coach continued with him instead of giving the ball to most under bowled and under utilised allrounder of India Axar Patel, did you say he was the vice-captain.. he was a nice-captain to make way for Washington Sundar in two matches..
It is India who would be under pressure as India had lost the ODI World Cup Final here a couple of years ago .. and after 8 matches are still not sure which XI players should do the job for them .. I would continue with Abhishek for one last Chance but ask him to bat lower down the order at number 5 or 6 and make only one change bringing in Kuldeep Yadav at expense of either Arshdeep or Varun Chakravarthy .. if you really wish to pack a batsman oriented side to make room for Rinku Singh it has to be at the cost of a bowler highlighted below.. I am convinced in my mind that any team winning the toss would like to contain the other team and chase the target ..
Playing XIs –
India – Batting order – Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya/Shivam Dube, Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube/Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh/Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah (They Played unchanged No Kuldeep Yadav)

Top All Rounders in T20 WC – 2026 – There could be many criteria to select top All Rounders
For me the best player of the T20 World Cup should go to Jason Holder in case one of the above key performers fail to take their case forward in the two remaining games. Sam Curran has also made significant contribution though it is not visible like in the case of Will Jacks ..
Sahibzada Farhan is likely to be the top Batsman and one of the India or English Bowlers is likely to conquer the long standing 13 Wickets by Shadley van Schalkwyk of USA .. He is still ahead of Murzabani and Ngidi ..
The much awaited T20 World Cup of Cricket is finally here. The Tournament starts with three games featuring Pakistan and Netherlands in the first game, West Indies and Scotland in the next and finally the third game between India and USA.
Follow the games at Star Sports, HotStar or any other TV channel in your respective countries who have bought the rights to broadcast the tournament.
First Day First Show – 11 AM IST – PAK v NED – Group A – Colombo, SSC Ground
News – Pakistan Won the Toss – Elected to Bowl First – Pakistan Pulled up victory from Jaws of defeat. Pakistan were struggling at 114 for 7 when Shadab Khan got out on the first delivery of 17th over .. still needing 34 runs .. and were needing 29 runs from 12 balls after 18 .. However 19 runs were scored in the penultimate over of the innings from Logan van Beek 24 runs scored by Faheem Ashraf who moved from 1 to 25 .. included 3 sixes. a four and a couple .. and a dot ball .. Pakistan had miraculously escaped an upset at the very start of the tournament..
Netherlands – 147 Lost to Pakistan – 148 for 7
Colombo SCC – Pakistan have put themselves in some kind of doldrums by announcing that they would not play their match against India on February 15, any loss to them could speak danger signal to the team. Netherlands would be knowing this, and any team that beats Pakistan in one of their remaining three games would start as a favourite to replace them if Pakistan fails to qualify. Though less likely given the fact that Pakistan have been champions in the 2009 and reached finals on two other occasions in 2007 and 2022.. STARS – Shaheen Shah Afridi and Michael Levitt
Matinee Show – 3 PM – WI v SCO – Group C – Eden Gardens – West Indies won by 35 Runs
News – Scotland Won The Toss and Elected to Bowl First .. Romario Shepherd of West Indies took the first hat-trick of the tournament consuming Matthew Cross, Michael Leask and Oliver Davidson on second third and fourth delivery of his third over and 17th of the Scotland Innings.
West Indies – 182/5 Beat Scotland – 147
West Indies on the other hand face Scotland who is playing instead of initial fixture with Bangladesh. Bangladesh spurred by its politicians and Cricket Board were adamant on not playing their matches in India, ICC excluded them and brought in Scotland, who were the next in the waiting list. West Indies have lifted T20 trophy twice like India and England. They won T20 WC in 2012 and 2016 when Chris Gayle was in devastating form of his life. STARS – Shai Hope and George Munsey
Night Show – 7 PM – IND v USA – Wankhede – India won by 29 Runs
News – USA won the Toss and elected to Bowl First
India 161/9 – Beat USA – 132/8
India meet USA in the third fixture of the opening day of the World Cup 2026 at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. No team can be taken lightly and as such USA has faired quite well in both ts warm up Matches. India is likely to put up their best team possible, they are the defending champions and currently top ranked team in T20 format STARS – Abhishek Sharma and Saurabh Netravalkar
India XI – Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj and Varun Chakravarthy
NB It is also time for Pakistan to decide their stand on playing against India especially if the two teams were to be engaged in a knock-out semifinal or the finals .. It is believed that Pakistan the way they escaped against Netherlands may or may not reach the super eight and from there to top two teams in Super Eight group.. yet the ICC must enquire their decision regarding such a scenario and they must play the finals in India, if both India and Pakistan make it to the Finals..

15 February – The Big Day in ICC Men’s T20 WC – India v Pakistan game at Colombo .. if weather or rather rains allow Cricket to take place at 7 PM IST ..
A Big Thank To PM Shehbaz Sharif for changing his decision regarding the historically and financially significant match ..
India Likely XI – Abhishek Sharma Ishan Kishan Tilak Varma Suryakumar Yadav Shivam Dubey Hardik Pandya Axar Patel Kuldeep Yadav Jasprit Bumrah Varun Chakravarthy and Arshdeep Singh Reserve – Rinku Singh Good Team Selection Suryakumar Yadav .. I was little skeptic of dropping Rinku .. the most reliable fielder .. All The Best ..
Pakistan is likely to field an unchanged XI from their game against USA or might bring in Salman Mirza in place of one of Nawaz or Shadab or Abrar .. They are most likely to retain Usman Tariq .. The waiting arm in the air before delivery ..

PAK v NZ – Abandoned after the Toss
Stars to Watch – Team Winning the Toss might like to put Runs on the Board and try to contain the opposition, Pakistan appears more balanced even if the NZ has a definite edge in Batting, I would put 60-40 in favour of Pakistan. Expected First Innings Score – NZ – 180 Plus (PAK 160 or less)
England -146/9 Beat Sri Lanka 95
ENG – Jos Buttler, Sam Curran Adil Rashid Jacob Bethell Will Jacks and Harry Brook, Phil Salt, Tom Banton, Liam Dawson, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer
Earlier, Sri Lanka Won the Toss and elected to Bowl First.. lost to England by 51 runs .. South Africa won the Toss and elected to bat first .. South Africa might put up a target of 200 Plus and put pressure sp on Abhishek Sharma (with 3 consecutive ducks). Even if they put up 180 it should be enough for bowlers to contain India or so it appears .. as of now..
It is difficult to agree with team India to continue with Washington Sundar .. I think if not Axar at least Kuldeep should have been brought in his place.. it could prove a costly error..
South Africa 187/7 Beat India – 111 ( An Uphill Target of 188 Runs)
IND- Ishan Kishan, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya and sadly Unchanged XI (with Washington Sundar, Tilak Varma, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakravarthy)
SA – Aiden Markram, Lungi Ngidi, Ryan Rickelton, Keshav Maharaj and Marco Jansen ( With Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Kagiso Rabada, David Miller, Quinton de Kock and Corbin Bosch)
WI -254/6 Beat ZIM -147
PAK – 164/9 Lost to ENG – 166-8
NZ – 168/7 Beat Sri Lanka 107/8
The outcome of this result is that one of the Host country – Sri Lanka has been ruled out of the semifinals and the chances of New Zealand have brightened up a bit unless Pakistan beats Sri Lanka decisively huge margin and New Zealand themselves loose to England rather poorly.. in a few words increasingly it is going to be New Zealand who is joining England from group 2 .. it is highly likely that the semifinals could be devoid of any Asian team for first time ..
WI – 176/8 Lost to SA-177/1
IND -256/4 Beat ZIM – 184/6
I can not underestimate the two games today .. the first would seal the berth of semifinal for the winner and looser may still be not out of contention in this death pool, India on the other hand has to not only win today’s encounter against Zimbabwe they should win it with some margin to cover up the net run rate too .. Zimbabwe are no chicken heads.. time and again they have surprised India including the 1983 World Cup where it was only Kapil Dev who denied them a victory .. but we are in T20 format of WC and Zimbabwe has produced better results than maybe say India in this current edition ..
I have no intention of highlighting XI players for India as alternatives ar not far too better .. I think Indians must continue to enjoy the entertainment format without caring for results and national glory ..
Stars to watch today .. henceforth only three stars would be mentioned from the possible XI, one does not know if the stars picked here might actually be picked in the playing XI .. even if India misses the bus here .. Indians would cling on to IPL immediately after the WC .. after all money can buy top players to play in the league.. and Indian players would shine like moons and stars .. Maine Chand Aur Sitaron ki Tamanna Kee Thi .. Hum History Repeat bhi Karenge.. Hum History Defeat bhi Karenge .. or maybe agar kuchh nahi hua to hum History delete bhi Karenge ..
Hum Logo ko Samajh Sako to samjho dilbar jani .. jaisa bhi hum Cricket khelen rahenge Hindustani ..
South Africa – Lungi Ngidi Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock (Aiden Markram adjudged Player of the Match )
West Indies – Sherfane Rutherford, Shimron Hetmyer and Gudakesh Motie
India – Kuldeep Yadav, Shivam Dube and Axar Patel Kuldeep was not Played)
Zimbabwe – Sikandar Raza, Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans (Brian Bennett was Player of the Match indeed a mistake not to mention him)
England has topped the Group 2 of Super 8 .. Therefore it would now have advantage of meeting the second team of group 1 … New Zealand with favorable net run rate have advnatage over Pakistan which have to cover up the net run rate bbesides mandatory winning their last group encounter agianst Sri Lanka ..
New Zealand 159/7 Lost to England 161/6
The picture of other Semi-Finalist from Group 2 and the likely topper would be decided by this game .. England would love to play to their full potential to possibly top the pool and not encounter South Africa who are apparently the top team in the tournament ..
New Zealand know if they win they would have pipped Pakistan out of race, should they loose the margin should be reasonably such that they do not suffer on net run rate in case Pakistan beats Sri Lanka ..
Starrs to Watch –
England – Will Jacks, Sam Curran and Phil Salt
New Zealand – Mitchell Santner, Glenn Phillips and Tim Seifert
New Zealand joins England as the semifinalist from Pakistan
Pakistan – 212/8 Beat Sri Lanka – 207/6
CONGRATULATIONS NEW ZEALAND .. THOUGH NOT DIRECTLY PLAYING HERE BUT WITH 148 ON BOARD FOR SRILANKA HAS PAV ED THE WAY FOR THEIR SEMIFINAL BERTH
PAKISTAN ARE THEMSELVES TO BE BLAMED A WONDERFUL START WAS NULLIFIED BY THEIR OVERCONFIDENCE.. SOMETHING EVERY TEAM MUST LEARN TO TREAT THE BOWLERS WITH SOME RESPECT WHEN THEY DESERVE IT
Pakistan Necessarily has to win the match tonight besides they also have to be aware of the Net Run Rate to cover up the deficit with New Zealand .. Pundits say that Pakistan must win by around 64 runs or chase Sri Lanka target in about 13.1 Overs.. both of which are quite a task .. in fact the host .. though eliminated from further reckoning in the tournament may like to win atleast one Super 8 game for their fans back home .. in 9 out of 10 chances New Zealand is expected to make it to the semifinal along with England ..
Matinee – Zimbabwe 153/7 LOST TO South Africa -154/5
Night – West Indies – 195/4 LOST TO India- 199/5 (4)
Target 196 .. Looks like India is going to end up like other Asian Tigers .. Sanju Samson the Saviour has taken India into Semi-Finals .. Now it is upto the rest of them to make the most out of it in the two games that follow.. England is the first hurdle on their way and then the winner of the other semifinal between South Africa and New Zealand ..
India did well to surpass the difficult target of 196 posed by West Indies.. A marvellous knock from Sanju Samson would go down the history of the game as one of the greatest run chase.. I believe highest successful chase in the history of T20 World Cup .. WELL DONE INDIA .. KEEP IT UP ..
Varun is demystified completely .. Arshdeep exploited in his 3rd over for 24 runs the only good news is last two overs .. one could see 200 ++ target Bumrah controlled the run flow .. But India must do thins differently than going all out during chase.. Very very difficult target to cross .. the semifinal berth is almost slipped as of now ..
The first game is of academic interest alone, as South Africa have qualified for Semi-Final .. and Zimbabwe can not make it to Semis even with a Win.. However, South Africa – the unbeaten team so far has made several changes to their playing XI .. Though their substitutes are equally competent .. esp Anrich Nortje is equally tough customer to deal with.. Maybe they do not want to injure their key players .. Zimbabwe on the other hand has been most impressive with spirited fight they put up against India even if they lost to a huge target chase..
The key battle however is the 52nd match of T20 WC.. as only winner of this game can make it to Semi-final slot.. India seem to have advantage but having won their games batting first .. they may not know how much total is a requisite to contain the powerful West Indies.. if I were Suryakumar Yadav .. I would not hesitate in putting the Windies IN and try to contain them to 175-180 and hope their batsman come true to their strength .. It is possible that both teams may play unchanged and West Indies would also love to bat first if they win the Toss.. so the first innings is more likely to be West Indies trying to set a target for India..
Again if I were SKY I would necessarily bring in Kuldeep Yadav in place of Arshdeep and rely on the services of Shivam Dube .. though he had been a bit too expensive.. bringing in additional batsman like Rinku Singh could also be on the mind of Skipper instead of Kuldeep Yadav, though the only man who could be left out is sadly wicket taking Arshdeep Singh .. and packing the team with batsman has not delivered good results for any team.. If six batsman can not do much of a miracle a seventh or eighth may not be able to do so .. yet the game of Cricket always sends opportunities for funny decisions and funnier results at times.. West Indies could bring in Akeal Hosein for Roston Chase to contain Abhishek Ishan and Tilak ..

Ajanta Mendis Bowled that Incredible spell against Zimbabwe on September 18 2012 at Hambantota Cricket Ground in Sri Lanka. (Victims – Masakadza, Sibanda, Taylor, Chigumbura, Utseya and Jarvis)
For Top Bowlers .. Economy is the first Criteria and then Wicket Taking Capability – e.g. Wickets Per Innings, or Runs per Wicket (AVG) at times it may also be interesting to use Balls per Wicket also as an index to get the strike rate of a Bowler ..

Best Bowling Figures (Total Wickets) in Career followed by Best performance in WC
Criteria – 5 or More Wickets in an Innings and a minimum 20 Wickets in T20I Career 4 or More Wickets in an Innings and 40 or more (Restriction Not Applied to Non-Super Eight Teams ) T20I Career Wickets For Brevity and Clarity .. The Best bowling figures of the seeded T20I players from past WC are listed
Record – 123 – Brendon McCullum (NZ) (58b, 11X4, 7X6)
Brendon McCullum Played that sensational knock on September 21, 2012 in the match against Bangladesh at Pallekele Cricket ground in Sri Lanka
Strike Rates (SR) and Boundary Runs (BR) are two important criteria for great Batsmanship in T20 Cricket, we should not talk of Averages .. if at all another index is required it could be RPI or Runs per Innings,
A Batsman capable of playing big knock is definitely an added advantage.. and in this context another table that summarises Most Fifties comes very handy ..
Top Scores for Teams in T20 WC 2026 (Criteria Scores greater than or equal to 50 runs .. Sort – Descending Runs, Ascending Balls (if not resolved Sixes)
Most Runs – 2026 WC – 100 Runs

T20I Centurions from associate member Teams – WC Best Scores
We are Vashishth Gotriya Gaud Brahmins of Madhyandini Shakha having Mishra Sashan.. The earliest known person among our fore-fathers was Pandit Hathi Singh Ji who hailed from village Bilauta, Jhajjar Tehshil in Rohtak District of Haryana
Pandit Bhola Nath Ji was the son of Hathi Singh Ji or one of his brothers. They were eight brothers, two or three of them were chronic bachelors, well known wrestlers of their time. One of them (perhaps Durga Singh had revolutionary mind-set. He had had an altercation with a British mounted soldier at Bareilly. So it can. be inferred that Hathi Singh ji had shifted to Bareilly.
Pandit Brijendra Chandra Mishra, Pandit Jado Nath ji, parents of Lakshmi Buaji, Sridhar Chacha Ji, Gappu Chacha Ji were the descendents of other brothers of Bhola Nath Ji
Pandit Bhola Nath Ji had Two sons Pandit Ram Chandra Ji and Sohan Lal Ji. Ram Chandra Ji had two daughters
Father of Pandit Kanti Chandra Ji and Chhote Lal Ji.. Chhote Lal Ji had No Descendants . Pandit Kanti Chandra Ji is our paternal grandfather.

It was in 1969 that I got admitted to Fifth Standard at this school .. I remember our school was close to the airfield and it was a great sight to find aircrafts on the airstrip .. mainly Packet, and sometimes Canberra and Dakota.. Did we get to see Gnat too is a doubt ..
Many years later I had found an Officer of Air Force who served at Agra during or about the same period.. Retired Wing Commander Narinder Singh .. we first met at Bridgebase online or BBO in 2013 and later I rediscovered him at StarMaker .. a Karaoke App ..
The Beginning
The initial going was tough .. the standard of English was one of the difficult part.. General medium of Instructions was English .
remember there was a New Radiant Reader, which was quite beyond my skill.. I barely managed to be promoted to Sixth standard .. Here we had moved to new building of the school which was approached from the other side.. We lived at Kheria Road and much of my time in school was now dedicated to hone my skills .. I think Jagannath Sir taught us English and JK Saigal or Sehgal Sir taught us Mathematics.. Rashtra Bharti, our Hindi text was very dear to me .. however, slowly and steadily I got the grip of subjects as introduced to us.. House activities especially sports, annual function and other activities were very very interesting phase of this new life..
Friends rediscovered at Facebook
Mathews Mammen, George Oomen, Dhiraj Bose, Kanchan Singh Bisht, Bimal Kumar, Nirmala and Amarjeet Singh Bedi Pradakshana Pandit were some of school mates I remember.. in fact I do remember quite a few seniors too Prithviraj Bose was the brother of my class fellow. Dhiraj.. I especially remember him for his sports and Athletics performances ..

At Present I had discovered Mathews quite accidentally, as he was a Facebook friend of my KV IIT friend Sharad Tewari .. However, much of my interaction from KV AFS is with one year juniors especially Ashutosh Bhardwaj .. I did become friends with many KV AFS schoolmates.. some of whom were also my batchmates like Kanchan and Dhiraj .. I would try to reunite with some of them at Facebook if possible .. My younger brother Ajay Sharma had got admitted to second standard the same year 1969 along with me .. More of him and Kendriya Vidyalaya friends from this school later ..
Maybe one of the best period of my school life was spent at Port Blair .. again the major House activities and Annual functions were the most important ingredients..
Much of my interaction after school was with some seniors especially the Alagappa Brothers and I met Mahesh Bhai in Belapur with Sudhakar quite a few years ago.. in 2010 I had visited Port Blair with Savita and Amrit and a reunion with the sons of Bhagwan Singh esp. Arjun Singh and Mangal Singh was quite remarkable .. I had also visited the house where we lived in Junglee Ghat..
I also met Joy James the Table tennis star from school days and stayed at his Nagri Inn for a couple of days.. and had travelled few parts including Havelock with help and logistic support from him .. Sharan Nanda of Nanda Motors was possibly one or two years junior to us .. had also visited him at his residence and showroom ..

Juniors
A large chapter of my Port Blair days is from the MES quarters and travelling to school with lot of friends juniors and seniors included .. a detailed account would be provided in due course .. A large number off friends in MES quarters travelled together from their residence to School .. including seniors, class fellows and juniors –
It was in September 1973 that we returned from Port Blair, where I had attended Class Seventh and Eighth and a short term of Ninth at Kendriya Vidyalaya located at Aberdeen Bazaar during 1971-1973. We had first approached Kendriya Vidyalaya Sector 4 Rama Krishna Puram or RK Puram in South Delhi. We could not find admissions there and finally were admitted to KV, IIT Hauz Khas. The school was in its primitive days .. Ninth standard was the highest class in the school .. So we enjoyed three years of seniority from 1973 to 1976 . being the first batch of our school at All India Higher Secondary Examination in 1976 ..
