Zimbabwe tri-series: Tim Seifert shines; New Zealand register seven-wicket win over South Africa
Tim Seifert (Agency Photo) New Zealand secured a convincing seven-wicket victory against South Africa in their Zimbabwe Twenty20 tri-series match at Harare Sports Club on Tuesday. After being sent to bat first, South Africa managed to score only 134 for eight in their allocated 20 overs. New Zealand's Tim Seifert led the chase with an unbeaten 66, guiding the Black Caps to victory with 25 balls remaining. The Black Caps maintained their perfect record in the tournament, having previously defeated the Proteas by 21 runs in their first encounter. They will face South Africa again in Saturday's final at the same venue. Despite losing only one wicket, South Africa struggled in the early overs, scoring just 18 runs in the first five overs. "The way we bowled in the power play was outstanding," said New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner. "Our bowlers found a length and found some swing and we were able to squeeze from there," said Santner. The New Zealand bowling attack proved effective, with Jacob Duffy and Adam Milne claiming two wickets each, while Zachary Foulkes bowled economically, conceding just 12 runs in three overs. South Africa's strategy of fielding multiple spin bowlers backfired in the opening over bowled by George Linde. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Redefine Your Future with a Top Online MBA SRM Online Enquire Now Undo Linde's first over was costly, beginning with two wides, including one that went for a boundary. Additionally, Seifert was dropped at long-off before scoring, resulting in 15 runs from the over. The opening partnership of Seifert and Devon Conway (19) quickly reached 50 runs in five overs, establishing New Zealand's dominance for the remainder of the match.

Ben Stokes On Playing Through Pain And Fatigue: ' I'll Do What I Need To...'
England captain Ben Stokes is ready to risk his injury-prone body to secure a Test series win over India. England captain Ben Stokes is determined to risk his injury-prone body again if it means securing a Test series win over India. Stokes, an all-rounder, demonstrated remarkable effort in the third Test at Lord's, taking five wickets, scoring 77 runs, and running out Rishabh Pant, contributing significantly to England's 22-run victory. This win gave England a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, with Stokes bowling a total of 44 overs, including intense spells on the final day. 'I'm not going to lie, I cannot wait to just lie on my bed for four days," Stokes had admitted after the match. The 34-year-old has endured two severe hamstring injuries in the past year, but he assured reporters before the fourth Test at Old Trafford that he was well-rested. 'I felt like I was in a long-distance relationship with my family because I hardly saw them (despite) being at home. If the situation requires it again then I'll do what I need to do." The quality of cricket displayed by both England and India has been compared to England's renowned 2005 Ashes triumph. 'So far, the series has been great to play in and I presume it's been pretty good to watch," said Stokes. 'The 2005 Ashes series was great to watch and I think we've gone all five days in all three Tests so far so it just proves that the quality of cricket has been outstanding. 'Two teams going toe-to-toe and not very much separating us at the moment. It's been good to be a part of." What Is England's Playing XI For 4th Test? England's Liam Dawson has been named in the team to face India in the fourth test at Old Trafford, as announced by the ECB on Monday. This marks the spinner's first test appearance in eight years. The 35-year-old Hampshire left-armer, who replaces the injured Shoaib Bashir, is the only change to the squad for the fourth test beginning on Wednesday. Dawson last played a test match in July 2017 when he earned his third test cap. Although Dawson was part of the 2019 World Cup-winning squad, he did participate in the Twenty20 series against the West Indies in June. Bashir sustained a finger fracture during the third test at Lord's, which England won by 22 runs, securing a 2-1 lead and leaving them one win away from clinching their first five-match series victory since 2018. view comments First Published: July 22, 2025, 19:13 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Glenn Maxwell Flops Again But Mitch Owen's Debut Fifty Earns Australia Win Over West Indies
Mitchell Owen marked his international debut with a half-century and a wicket to help Australia to a three-wicket win in the Twenty20 cricket series opener against West Indies. Owen shared an 80-run fifth-wicket stand off 40 deliveries with Cameron Green, who scored 51 off 26 balls, to put Australia on course to reach the victory target of 190 with seven balls to spare on Sunday. After being sent in to bat and making a flying start, West Indies was restricted to 189-8 after losing four wickets for five runs off the last nine balls. Australian fast bowler Ben Dwarshuis returned a career-best 4-36, taking three wickets in four deliveries — Jason Holder blocked a hat-trick ball but was out next delivery — in the next-to-last over of the West Indies innings. The top four West Indies batters all got starts, with Roston Chase plundering 60 from 32 deliveries before he was caught in the deep off Dwarshuis' bowling to end a 91-run second-wicket partnership with Shai Hope (55) in the 13th over. Another win has given Australia, coming off a 3-0 test series sweep, an early lead in the five-game T20 series. Owen, a Tasmanian allrounder who opened the batting with success for the Hobart Hurricanes in the domestic T20 league last season, joined David Warner and Ricky Ponting as Australians who've scored a half-century on debut in the format. 'Firstly happy we got the win — it was nice to contribute,' he said. 'Just nice to be mentioned with those class players.'
