In a thrilling cricket match, Australia beat India by 10 wickets in Adelaide. One of the most talked-about moments was a heated exchange between Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj and Australian batsman Travis Head.

During the game, Siraj bowled a brilliant yorker to get Head out but celebrated a bit too excitedly, which upset Head. They both exchanged some heated words, adding excitement to the match. While some people criticized Siraj for his actions, Australia’s bowler Josh Hazlewood stepped in to defend him.

Hazlewood, who has played alongside Siraj in the IPL, said that Siraj is very passionate and brings energy to the game. He compared him to Virat Kohli, saying both players wear their hearts on their sleeves and enjoy getting the crowd riled up. Hazlewood mentioned, “Siraj bowls great spells, and it’s nice to see his character on the field.”

Later on, when Siraj went in to bat, he and Head were seen talking in a friendlier way, which made fans happy to see the tension ease. Fans hope the rivalry stays exciting without becoming too intense.

Unfortunately for Australia, Hazlewood missed the Adelaide Test due to a small injury but is expected to return for the next match in Brisbane. This is good news for Australia, but it could be a challenge for India as they try to bounce back after their loss.

Wellington, New Zealand – The New Zealand women’s cricket team has some great news! Ben Sawyer, their coach, has signed a contract to stay on for two more years. This means he will guide the team, known as the White Ferns, until December 2026. Sawyer helped New Zealand win their very first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE last October, which was a huge achievement.

As an Australian, Sawyer will lead New Zealand in important tournaments coming up, like the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in India next year and defending their T20 World Cup title in England in 2026.

Sophie Devine, the captain of the team, is really happy about Sawyer’s continued support. “I’m stoked that Ben is staying with us,” she said. “He has done amazing work for the White Ferns and women’s cricket in New Zealand. The team is in a great place now, so having him for another two years will help us a lot.”

Next up for Sawyer and the White Ferns is a three-match One Day International series against Australia. The team is currently sixth in the ICC Women’s Championship standings and needs strong performances to automatically qualify for the 50-over World Cup in India next year.

During the last Women’s T20 World Cup, Sophie Devine scored 114 runs, with her best score being 57 against India. In the final match against South Africa, New Zealand batted first and scored 158 runs. Amelia Kerr and Brooke Halliday had a big partnership to help the team recover after a few quick wickets.

In the chase for 159 runs, South Africa struggled and ended up scoring only 126 runs. Amelia Kerr and Rosemary Mair took important wickets, with Kerr winning the ‘Player of the Match’ for her excellent performance with both bat and ball.

Melbourne, Australia: Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is hopeful about his fitness before the third Test against India at the famous Gabba stadium in Brisbane. Hazlewood has been dealing with a side strain, which kept him out of the game when Australia won the second Test in Adelaide by 10 wickets, tying the five-match series at 1-1. This win has given the team a boost in their chances of reaching the ICC World Test Championship Final next year.

Hazlewood, who took four wickets in the first Test in Perth, worked hard on his fitness in Adelaide on Monday. He hopes to play in the upcoming Test if he doesn’t feel any pain in the next couple of days. “It really depends on how I feel in the 24 hours after my workout,” Hazlewood said, adding, “It’s important to cool down and then see how my body reacts before deciding if I can play again.”

If Hazlewood returns, Scott Boland may have to sit out, even though he played well in Adelaide. Both bowlers will head to Brisbane for the test match, where Australia hopes to improve their recent record. They have lost two out of the last four Tests held at the Gabba, including a match against India. Hazlewood believes that if the team adjusts quickly to playing with a red ball instead of a pink one, they will do well. “We usually play well in Brisbane. The last match was with a pink ball, but the red ball suits us better,” he explained.

In the second Test, India elected to bat first but struggled against the moving pink ball and fast bowler Mitchell Starc. They managed just 180 runs, with only a few partnerships standing out. Australian captain Pat Cummins and Boland took crucial wickets.

In their first innings, Australia put together a strong performance, with Travis Head scoring 140 runs. This helped them get to a total of 337 runs, giving them a lead of 157 runs.

In the second innings, India faced more challenges as their star players failed to perform. They ended the day at 128 for 5 wickets. The next day didn’t go better for India, who got bowled out for just 175 runs, with Australia needing only 19 runs to win. Cummins took five wickets, while Boland and Starc chipped in as well.

With a target of just 19 runs, Khawaja and McSweeney quickly scored the runs in just 3.2 overs, giving Australia a comfortable win.

Whenever India and Australia play Test cricket, there’s a good chance that tensions might rise. The first big clash in this ongoing series is between Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj and Australian batter Travis Head. After their recent match, the captains—Pat Cummins from Australia and Rohit Sharma from India—were asked about it during a press conference.

Cummins grew frustrated with the questions about Siraj claiming that Head “lied” about what was said during the match. He responded, “I reckon we’ve spoken enough about that,” before leaving the press conference when an Indian reporter asked about the incident.

Here’s how it all started: Siraj got Head out after Head scored an impressive 140 runs. India lost the match by 10 wickets, and Australia continued their strong record in pink-ball Tests played in Adelaide. After Head got out, Siraj celebrated, and Head reacted with words of his own.

In a press conference, Head said he told Siraj “well bowled” after getting out, and he was disappointed with Siraj’s response. He mentioned that he was just trying to stand up for himself and that he liked to play the game respectfully.

On the other hand, Siraj strongly disagreed. He said Head didn’t compliment him at all. “It was a tough battle, and when I got him out, I celebrated. He said something to me too,” Siraj explained. He insisted that Head’s claim of saying “well bowled” was not true, adding, “Everyone saw that I didn’t say anything bad to him.”
