Canada Super 60 league to make debut at Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium
VANCOUVER - Cricket is coming to B.C. Place Stadium in the form of the Canada Super 60 tournament. The new league, which features the short-form 10-over version of the game, was originally set to launch in July at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ont. But organizers have opted for the bigger venue in Vancouver, saying dates and ticketing information will come later. 'Vancouver is a city that thrives on nature, diversity, and culture — and cricket on the West Coast is going to ignite a whole new fan base,' said former Indian cricket star Yuvraj Singh, a spokesman for Canada Super 60 Super 60 matches last about 90 minutes with each team batting for 10 overs (60 balls), making for all-action contests with batsmen swinging for the boundary in search of runs. In contrast, the Global T20 Canada tournament, which has taken place at the Brampton venue since 2018, features the 20-over version of the game. Like Global T20 Canada, teams in the new league will be made up of Canadian talent, international stars and a quota of players from associate nations. In April, organizers said Pakistan's Naseem Shah, England's Alex Hales and Australia's Chris Lynn were among the more than 1,350 cricketers who have put their hands up for the new league. Super 60, which is backed by Cricket Canada, will feature men's and women's play. —- This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 1, 2025

United beat Kings by 7 wickets in HBL PSL match
Karachi Kings Captain David Warner is bowled by Islamabad United pacer Naseem Shah during a PSL T20 cricket match at the National Stadium Karachi. PHOTO: APP Defending champions Islamabad United continued their dominant run in the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) with a convincing seven-wicket victory over Karachi Kings at the National Stadium, Karachi on Sunday. Opting to bowl first, United's bowlers delivered a disciplined performance to restrict Karachi Kings to a modest 127/8 in 20 overs. In reply, United chased down the target with 17 balls to spare, securing their fourth consecutive win in the tournament. In stark contrast to the Kings' struggles with the bat, Islamabad United began their chase with intent, led by the in-form Sahibzada Farhan, who blazed his way to 30 off just 18 balls, striking five boundaries and a six. His brisk innings propelled United to 34 in quick time before a stunning catch by David Warner ended his stay, handing Karachi their first breakthrough. Hasan Ali struck again in the same over, clean bowling Colin Munro to momentarily pull United back. Despite the early blows, United remained in control. Azam Khan anchored the middle overs with a steady 31 off 30 deliveries, while skipper Shadab Khan played a captain's knock, guiding the chase with a fluent 47 off 40, laced with five fours and two sixes.

Even worse
Listen to article A near whitewash (4-1) in the T20I series is followed by a total whitewash (3-0) in the ODI series. Even the return of senior players like Babar Azam, Muhammad Rizwan and Naseem Shah – all of whom were dropped from the T20I squad – failed to make any difference as Green Shirts were decimated by Black Caps, the hosts, in the three-match ODI series. With this victory, New Zealand have now won all of the six ODIs they have played against Pakistan in the ongoing year. Just a look at the New Zealand victory margin in the three ODIs – 73 runs, 84 runs and 43 runs – is enough to expose the plight of Team Pakistan. Skipper Rizwan failed to extract any advantage from the toss that he won in all the three games. Pakistan think-tank tried different combinations – mixing seasoned players with newcomers – in both batting and bowling, but nothing worked. Babar Azam did score two fifties, but neither helped the team romp home. Runs in the lost cause has, quite frequently, been the case with the former captain. However, fifties by Faheem Ashraf (78 off 80 balls with 6 fours and 3 sixes) and Naseem Shah (51 off 44 with 4 fours and 4 sixes) – both coming in the second ODI – demonstrate the kind of potential in both that genuine all-rounders are expected to have. Abdul Razzaq and Azhar Mehmood were the last of the genuine all-rounders that our team had. And it's been a long while ago. Pakistan's bowling, meanwhile, remained pretty ordinary, with none of the newcomers – Akif Javed, Mohammad Ali, Ifran Khan Niazi and Sufiyan Meqeem – or the longtime campaigners coming up with a match-winning performance. Coming up next – from April 11 – is PSL. Sadly though, the PSL has failed to do to Pakistan cricket what the IPL has done to the Indian cricket.
