Can Rohit Sharma’s ‘balanced and experienced’ India win the 2024 T20 World Cup?

Don’t forget you can stay up to date with all our T20 World Cup build-up and coverage here .

This includes our dedicated preview pages for all the teams. Our latest offering is Cheteshwar Pujara’s take on India’s chances in the USA and the Caribbean:

India’s  heartache  of losing the  50-over Cricket World Cup final  on home soil and the experience of a “balanced side” could inspire them to  T20 World Cup glory in the US and West Indies, according to Pujara.

The 36-year-old, who has played 103 Tests and five one-day internationals for India, will have high hopes pinned on the men in blue when they  begin their campaign against Ireland  on June 5.

“We [India] have enough balance in the team, but it won’t be easy because we will be playing in the US and West Indies  where pitches are slightly different,” Pujara told Al Jazeera in London.

‘Fearless and gifted’: Afghanistan poised for T20 World Cup

Afghanistan enter the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 as one of the dark horses poised to cause an upset and put their fearless brand of cricket on show, according to their former coach Stuart Law.

The 2010 debutants have reached the Super Eight stage in each of the last three editions of the tournament – steady progress from the first-round exits in their first three attempts.

Law believes Afghanistan are not far from reaching the knockouts and it could happen in the 2024 edition of the tournament in the United States and the West Indies in June.

“I love the way they play their cricket. There’s no fear in the way they go about it,” Law, who is now in charge of the USA team, told Al Jazeera.

Australia’s Starc fit and ready for T20 World Cup after heatwave-hit IPL

Mitchell Starc has dismissed fears the intense heat might have drained him during his Indian Premier League-winning exploits, with the Australian declaring he was fit and ready for the  ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup 2024 .

The 34-year-old left-arm pace spearhead lived up to his  record $2.98m price tag  with an opening burst of 2-14 to set up a  third title triumph for the Kolkata Knight Riders  against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday.

At the end of the two-month tournament, largely played in relentless heatwave conditions, player-of-the-match Starc helped dismiss Hyderabad for 113 as Kolkata cruised to their target with 9.3 overs to spare in Chennai.

“My body is fine,” Starc, who took 17 wickets in 13 matches, told reporters in a post-midnight news conference at the end of extended Kolkata team celebrations.

“I’ve played enough cricket to manage that sort of thing. T20 is not as demanding as Test cricket. It’s been warm, it’s been humid, so that plays a part, but that’s fine,” he said.

England’s frustrations may be greater than those of Pakistan

Given the two washouts in this series so far, the victory in the second match marks England’s only T20 in this calendar year.

Their last T20 was in December when they lost their five-match series in the West Indies 3-2.

Not quite the preparations for the defence of their crown that England would have liked.

Will Jos Buttler be back to lead the side in Thursday’s final match or will Moeen Ali be asked to lead the team again?

Pakistan have one more chance before T20 World Cup begins

The final match of Pakistan’s tour takes place at the Oval in London on Thursday.

Both teams immediately embark on flights across the Atlantic for the T20 World Cup.

No action in Cardiff today ❌ The third T20I is abandoned due to persistent rain 🌧️ #ENGvPAK | #BackTheBoysInGreen pic.twitter.com/6BZ3gOHAJr — Pakistan Cricket (@TheRealPCB) May 28, 2024

Two washouts in three games

Rain has continued to play spoilsport throughout this series.

The first match in Leeds on May 22 was abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled and the third match had a similar fate in Cardiff this evening.

As things stand, England lead this four-match series 1-0, thanks to their 23-run win in the second match at Edgbaston.

All eyes will now be on the series finisher at The Oval in London on Thursday.

Pakistan’s Rauf keen to put injury struggles behind him

Haris Rauf returned to international cricket after an injury layoff for the second T20 match at Edgbaston, just in time for the T20 World Cup. The pacer, who hadn’t played cricket for three months due to a dislocated shoulder, said that his time off wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“I was injured the last few months, but if you believe in yourself, then the layoff can be a blessing in disguise,” the bowler said at a press conference on Monday. “Because you have time to recover and reassess your game plans.”

Rauf, who took two wickets in the last match, said the mental aspect of the injury layoff was hard.

“It’s a struggle during your rehab, and it’s difficult when you come back to maintain that pace and accuracy.

“But if you believe in yourself, it makes things easier. When I wasn’t in the team and rehabbing, I had a lot of time to think about my game and work on myself.

“Thankfully I’m back now, and the [T20] World Cup is coming up.”

The cut-off time

There is no official word yet about the start of the match, but the cut-off time for a 5-over-match at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff is 9:16pm local time (20:16 GMT).

Buttler’s form will be key to England’s T20 World Cup hopes

Former England captain Nasser Hussain, a pundit for Sky Sports, said that Jos Buttler’s form will be key to England’s odds at the upcoming T20 World Cup.

“If England are going to win the thing again, Jos Buttler has to have a fine tournament,” Hussain said.

“He didn’t have a fine tournament in the 50-overs World Cup, both as captain and as a player, he looked weary halfway through that.

“He is the sort of captain … that getting runs and keeping well or when the side are doing well, keeps him invigorated.”

A soggy T20 scene for England and Pakistan

England’s Jacks talks about playing with Kohli in IPL

England batter Will Jacks has been speaking to broadcaster Sky Sports while the start of the match is delayed due to rain.

Asked about what he learned while playing with India’s ex-captain Virat Kohli in the 2024 Indian Premier League, Jacks said: “Firstly, his attitude towards training. Every day is a day to get better … it’s harder to do that but with him, it was really obvious.

“And the way he goes in the game. Every ball [was] a 100 percent intensity. When I batted with him in a chase, it was how he picked out how to do the chase, not just going ball by ball, [but] looking ahead really to see where he could plan and take risks at his own time.”

Jacks and Kohli played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who lost to Rajasthan Royals in the playoffs this season. The title was won by Kolkata Knight Riders.

Pakistan frustrated on tour of England and Ireland

Pakistan were given something of a jolt in the arm when they slipped to a defeat in their opening T20 of the tour of the Republic of Ireland.

The Pakistanis bounced back to win the three-game series 2-1, but it was a reminder ahead of the T20 World Cup that there will not be any easy games.

Now rain is hitting their prep against one of the tournament favourites, England.

A washout in the first match and an apparent danger of the same in this match – that following defeat in the second game.

India vs Bangladesh, 15th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The shoots of hope for India ending their trophy drought will bloom into fully grown flowers after this thumping performance today. A clinical performance with bat and ball, which sees Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh return to form, while Rishabh Pant also reintegrated into the team seamlessly. However, an important caveat to remember is that this win comes against a Bangladesh side which is stuck playing T20 cricket from a bygone era. Today was a cakewalk, but sterner tests await Team India when the tournament begins. Time to draw the curtains on this warm-up game, we are now just hours away from the opening game of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Join us for that one, bye for now!

Rohit Sharma: Quite happy with how things went, got what we wanted with the game. Important to get used to conditions. New venue, new ground and drop-in pitch. (On Pant batting at 3) Just to give him an opportunity. We haven’t nailed the batting line-up yet, we wanted most guys to get a hit in the middle. (On Arshdeep) He has shown us he has the skills upfront and also the backend, he has a very good skill set. We’ve got good 15 players here, just need to nail down the conditions and pick the best players.

Najmul Shanto: Our batting we didn’t do well, but I think in the main match we win do better. We aren’t thinking of the past, we need to play brave cricket. (On Shoriful Islam) He is still in observation in the hospital, he should be back. Everyone is excited about the first game, everyone needs to be calm and perform well.

14:21 Local Time, 18:21 GMT, 23:51 IST: Game, set, match to India! The result of this game was never in doubt, and India's bowlers started brilliantly. Arshdeep got the first two wickets with two lovely inswingers, and Hridoy and Tanzid Hasan were startled by some extra pace and bounce from the Indian seamers. Bangladesh were reeling at 41/5 at one stage. They then got a partnership brewing between the two veterans - Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan, but at no point did they look to win the game. The duo stitched together a 75 run partnership before Mahmudullah retired out in the penultimate over, and Bangladesh lost three more wickets after that to finish with 119/8. A resounding win for India, let's hear what the captains have to say...

Shivam Dube to Mahedi Hasan, 1 run, on a length on off stump, slapped down to long-off. That's all, India win by 60 runs.

Shivam Dube to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 1 run, fuller delivery, was slower in pace. Pushed down to long-on

Shivam Dube to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, wide , length ball that is too far wide outside off

Tanzim Hasan Sakib, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Shivam Dube to Jaker Ali, out Caught by Samson!! full delivery just outside off, Jaker Ali tries a big swipe across the line. Nowhere close to enough power on that one and holes out to Samson at deep mid-wicket. Shivam Dube on a hat-trick. Jaker Ali c Samson b Shivam Dube 0(1)

Shivam Dube to Jaker Ali, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Jaker Ali, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Shivam Dube to Rishad Hossain, out Caught by Axar!! pace off and very full from Dube, Mahedi tries to get it and hoist it down the ground. Holes out to Axar who was backtracking from long-on and takes a good catch above his shoulders. Rishad Hossain c Axar b Shivam Dube 5(5) [4s-1]

Shivam Dube to Rishad Hossain, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Shivam Dube to Rishad Hossain, no run, a length ball over the stumps, another swing and a miss

Shivam Dube to Mahedi Hasan, 1 run, yorker length, pushed out towards deep mid-wicket

Shivam Dube to Mahedi Hasan, wide , slides down the leg side

Bumrah to Rishad Hossain, no run, back of length and over the stumps, a swing and a miss

Bumrah to Mahedi Hasan, 1 run, full on the pads, clipped to deep square leg

Mahedi Hasan, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Bumrah to Shakib, out Caught by Pant!! Short ball, angling into Shakib. The batter tried an upper cut but can only manage to glove it through to the keeper. No real celebration from anyone, Bumrah infact asks for the ball to finish the over quickly and get out of here… Shakib c Pant b Bumrah 28(34) [4s-2]
