Glenn Maxwell scored a century for Washington Freedom in their win against LA Knight Riders in the MLC.

This was the Freedom's second win in a row and kept them hot on the heels of San Francisco Unicorns and Texas Super Kings who have picked three straight wins so far. Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Washington posted a formidable 208 for 5 in 20 overs. Captain Glenn Maxwell starred for last year's champions, smashing a blistering 106* off 49 balls, including 13 sixes and two fours. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Maxwell's explosive innings, backed by useful contributions from Mitchell Owen (32 off 11) and Andries Gous (12), propelled Freedom to a daunting total. In response, Knight Riders struggled from the outset, slumping to 95 all out in 16.3 overs. Saurabh Netravalkar led the early charge with the ball, claiming 2/6 in 3.3 overs. Jack Edwards and Mitchell Owen did the damage in the middle with three wickets each, exploiting Knight Riders' fragile batting. Knight Riders lost early wickets, as the top trio of Alex Hales, Sunil Narine and Unmukt Chand departed for ducks. Occasional resistance came from Saif Badar (32 off 31) and Jason Holder (23 off 16), but the target was simply too far away by then. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트, 지금 시작하세요 [자세히 보기] 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo In between, there were two more single-digit contributions - Rovman Powell (4 from 3) and Matthew Tromp (2 from 6).

Major League Cricket 2025 Explained: Teams, Schedule & Where to Watch "I gave myself a chance for sure. Being the captain, you want to carry on for the team. I got to a position where I thought I could just go on. I had 155-160 in my mind," said Maxwell after the win. "I feel like I was hitting well in India. Sometimes the results don't go your way. Just a bit of time is needed to get going. I have let him (Ricky Ponting) down in a couple of tournaments. I missed out playing for Punjab in the later stages of the IPL. Playing under Ricky, we hopefully have a chance to add to last year's trophy. "We tried to back that 6 to 8 metres length. Chopping and changing the bowlers helped as well. Netravalkar did well. Adair did well in his first game. You just have to adapt. The attitude in the group has been outstanding. I feel the boys have been resilient. They have been finding ways to win," he added. With this win, Freedom reinforced their position near the top of the table, while Knight Riders remain without a victory in three outings.

Shubman Gill's technical vulnerability comes under scrutiny ahead of 1st Test vs England amid confidence concerns.
Team India captain Shubman Gil is under scrutiny ahead of the first Test match at Headingley in of India vs England Test 2025 Leeds. The 25-year old recently took over as captain from Rohit Singh. His first test will be to show Shubman Gill batting weakness overseas conditions. He has not been able to impress with his batting outside Asia, scoring only 559 runs at a 25.40 average in 13 Tests. In red-ball overseas cricket, he still hasn't scored a century. In England, his record is especially worrying. He has played three Tests and only managed 88 runs with a dismal average of 14.66. Nick Knight, a former England cricketer who was able to observe Shubman Gill form in the IPL from close range during his stint as a commentator, revealed the weakness in Shubman's armour before the Test series. When I was in India for IPL commentary, I would always emphasize the same thing. Knight said that sometimes with Shubman when you are a bit lacking in confidence or trying to improve your form, the front leg can be pushed across too much. "And therefore, the rotating of the body, accessing the ball, and playing around the front pad. "But I'm being brutally honest, I haven't seen it as much in recent times," he said. Gill pointed out how tricky it can be to face left-handers bowling over the wicket. This becomes indeed more significant when facing a left- armer bowling over the gate and swinging the ball back into the pads. According to Knight, he is probably well apprehensive of similar pitfalls at all times. The Dukes ball's unique properties, the unpredictable weather, and the peculiar characteristics of the pitches in England make batting for English red-ball a formidable challenge.

Yograj Singh Blasts BCCI Over Banning Digvesh Rathi For Celebration Row: "Nonsense..."
Yograj Singh, father of former Indian cricket team star Yuvraj Singh, came out in support of Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi who was suspended by BCCI over his controversial celebration. Digvesh grabbed headlines with his impressive show in IPL 2025 but his 'notebook' celebration split the internet. While some praised him for his passionate show, there were some who were not happy and the BCCI decided to impose a fine on him three times. He was even suspended for a game after an on-field spat with Abhishek Sharma over his celebration. However, Yograj was not happy with how the cricket board handled the situation and he even went on to call the action 'nonsense'. 'Come on man, don't fine them. It's okay. You are still friends with the bowlers. Everybody is not the same. Emotions go. Forgive them. Obviously, at the end of the day, you're friends, if you say sorry, the matter is over. Have a big heart and don't get into these petty things. What is this nonsense going on, fining kids,' Yograj Singh said on InsideSport. After winning the 2011 World Cup, India went through a tumultuous transition phase over the next two years, getting whitewashed 0-4 in away Test series against England and Australia. These defeats saw a number of Indian stalwarts getting dropped from the Indian team. The selectors had even unanimously decided that MS Dhoni would be sacked as captain, with former India all-rounder Mohinder Amarnath one of the key figures of the selection committee then. Reflecting on that episode, Yograj Singh, the father of former India star Yuvraj Singh, has brutally criticised Amarnath and co. "You (BCCI selectors) just destroyed these boys for no reason. Boys like Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Mohammed Kaif, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid. You just made them go after 2011," Yograj said, speaking to InsideSport. "You just destroyed the team after the 2011 World Cup. The careers of 7 players were put into the gutter. That is why were struggling," Yograj added.
