Australia vs South Africa T20I Match 2: When, where to watch the marquee clash
In the ongoing T20I series, Australia are missing their premium bowlers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, who are rested, keeping the Ashes in mind. However, they have some talented bowlers in the likes of Josh Hazlewood, Sean Abbott, and Adam Zampa, who have a lot of experience in the shortest format of the game. They'll surely be an asset for Australia in the ongoing series.
For the Proteas, captain Aiden Markram will lead the side with some of his best men alongside him. They look quite set for the series with the presence of Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, and Dewald Brevis. These players are in form and will surely be a threat to the Aussies' bowling attack. Moreover, both teams are meeting in a T20I bilateral series after a long time, so the fans are most likely to enjoy the thrilling contest. After the T20Is, they'll also play a 3-match ODI series, starting on August 19.

They, along with Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami, were the face, the hands, the legs and the backbone of a team that helped establish India as a dominant force on the field of play that could match its commercial power in the boardrooms and magnetic pull on the the last one year, India have won two major trophies — the men's T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy — but they have also edged dangerously close to the end of an era. Virat and Rohit, the batting stalwarts who have retired from Tests and T20Is, are quickly fading away from popular success of India's young brigade, led by Shubman Gill, on the recent tour of England has only hastened the may not be any truth in the recent speculations of the BCCI looking to phase out Virat and Rohit from the ODIs and suggestions that the 50-over series Down Under in October could be their farewell. But it's worth asking how long two ageing stars can keep up with the pace at which the white-ball game is progressing as well as thwart the challenges posed by youngsters? By the time next 50-over World Cup, to be held in 2027, comes along, Virat will be 39 and Rohit are no longer the centrepiece of the cricket calendar. Teams are either chasing the T20 boom or committing to the tradition of Test cricket. In the last five years, India have played 79 ODIs, 113 T20Is and 52 Tests. At first glance, these numbers do not look too bad but once you add 70 IPL matches (minimum 14 per season) and count the number of days a Test match keeps you involved, ODI opportunities suddenly look it can be argued that Virat and Rohit will also be playing in the IPL, the long gaps between the competitive cricket that will be available to them are going to be an issue. Their last competitive outings were in the first week of June; their next might be on October 19 — a gap of 140 and 138 days respectively. They will most likely be able to maintain their match fitness, but achieving the batting rhythm is going to be a tough on the other hand, is still thriving in Test cricket. He was India's thirdhighest run scorer in England with 516 runs, behind Gill (754) and KL Rahul (532). But in ODIs, his place is under pressure from fellow Gujarati Axar Patel, who brings to the field a similar skill set, and the rise of Washington you set aside experience for a moment and focus on the numbers, either both or at least one of Axar and Washington have been better than Jadeja in three vital bowling parameters:With the bat, Jadeja's average (32.62) outstrips both Axar (22.37) and Washington (23.50). However, Jadeja usually bats at No. 6 or below, a position where impact is mostly measured by strike rate, his strike rate of 85.44 doesn't spark much confidence. And it's in this area that Axar becomes a more valuable option for India than Jadeja. More so, Axar's overall strike rate of 91.47 jumps to 97.97 in the matches India like Virat and Rohit, has also retired from T20Is and may still have a couple more years of Test cricket in him. But his time in ODIs is probably running out faster than his sprints on the changing of the guard is inevitable. The only question is whether it will be as glorious as their T20I exits, with a World Cup trophy in hand, or as quiet as their Test the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.

Asia Cup: Rinku Singh's spot under threat as selectors face tough calls
The Indian squad for the Asia Cup T20, to be announced on Tuesday, could present a tricky challenge for Ajit Agarkar's selection panel, with some tough calls Indian Test skipper Shubman Gill's place and designation in the squad remain a hot talking point, the position of Rinku Singh in the 15-member squad is also under became the toast of the nation a few years back when he hit five consecutive sixes off a Yash Dayal over to win an IPL game for Kolkata Knight Riders and had since been looked upon as a designated finisher in the Indian Rinku's career graph has seen a bit a decline since he failed to make it to the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup (he was on stand by).A low-key 2024 IPL, where he faced only 113 balls, and a similar 2025 season (134 balls) hinted at a reduced in 2024, it was Gambhir who was the mentor and chief strategist of manner in which the erstwhile think-tank chief of KKR used Rinku was indicative that the Aligarh southpaw's role in his scheme of things was very by the fight for each batting slot, one can't say with a degree of certainty that Rinku is an automatic choice going into the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka early next if only Asia Cup T20 is factored in at the moment, Rinku's position looks a bit untenable at the all are fit and available, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (batter-keeper), Tilak Varma, skipper Surya Kumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are automatic selections in with Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, two players with proven IPL records are back in the mix, the selectors will have to make some compromise with regards to one or two this is pretty clear that at least in this Asia Cup, both Gill and Jaiswal wouldn't be in the same squad till Abhishek and Sanju are automatic choices."We often hear people saying, one should pick so and so but no one would be able to definitively tell us 'in place of whom'? Shreyas Iyer has 600 runs at a strike-rate of 180 but he bats in top four. Where is the place for him. Even as you include Shubman as he is flavour of the season, where do you cut corners," a former national selector told PTI."You can't disturb your top five right now and also pick Shubman. And if you pick Shubman now, obviously the Test captain and IPL team captain won't sit out."So where do you make the compromise? I only see Rinku's spot being iffy as he isn't required as much some of the top order batters. And mind it, we aren't even talking about Jaiswal," the former selector, who also played for India, logic could be even if Rinku is compromised, there would still be a Shivam Dube (as Nitish Reddy is unlikely to get fit) and a Jitesh Sharma (second keeper), who could well play that finisher's to forget both are multi-dimensional players -- Jitesh can keep and Shivam can slip in an over or two as and when Gambhir's set-up, one dimensional cricketers in the middle and lower order are a bit of passe and hence all eyes will be on Rinku's position in the squad.- EndsMust Watch advertisement
