Josh Hazlewood extends his unbeaten runs in final helping RCB win maiden IPL title. Check out his record
Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood continued his record of being undefeated in major finals after he helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinch their first Indian Premier League trophy on Sunday night. He took 1 wicket in the final against Punjab Kings but his contribution throughout the season for the franchise was immense with the Aussie taking 22 wickets from 12 matches, finishing 3rd in the Purple Cap race. He has won all the finals he has played including for the Sydney Sixers, the Australian national cricket team as well as the Chennai Super Kings. Here's a look at how he fared in the previous summit clashes: 2010 U19 WC final: 4/30 against Pakistan in 8.4 overs, bundling out Pak for 82 in chase of 208. For this effort, he won the 'Player of the Match' award. Champions League T20 final in 2012: 3/22 in four overs for Sydney Sixers, bundling out Lions, a South African T20 team, for 121, which was chased down easily. His effort also included the scalp of future South African great Quinton de Kock. World Cup 2015 final: Rock-solid spell of 0/30 in eight overs. This is his only wicketless spell in a tournament final. Mitchell Starc's iconic dismissal of skipper Brendon McCullum kept Aussies in the match from start as they made a lightwork of a below-par 183 by New Zealand. Big Bash League 2019-2020 final: He took 3/18 in three overs of a 12-over-a-side game for the Sixers, which reduced Melbourne Stars to 97/6 in a run-chase of 117. IPL 2021 for CSK: Representing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), he took 2/29 in four overs, including wickets of Sunil Narine and Eoin Morgan which sunk KKR to 165/9 in chase of 193. T20 WC 2021 final: Pitted against New Zealand, he took 3/16 in four overs, not allowing Kiwis to score massive as they could score just a competitive 172/4, powered by Kane Williamson's 85. His wicket tally included scalps of Daryl Mitchell, Kane and Glenn Phillips. Aussies chased down the total with Mitchell Marsh and David Warner hitting fifties. World Cup 2023 final: Hazlewood delivered a solid spell of 2/60 in 10 overs, which included wickets of Ravindra Jadeja and Suryakumar Yadav. A rampaging India slumped to 240 all-out which was chased down courtesy a Travis Head masterclass in front of a packed Narendra Modi stadium. (stats via Statsguru) (With agency inputs)

Pope to replace injured Agar for Northants T20 campaign
Northamptonshire have signed Australian leg spinner Lloyd Pope for the T20 Blast after overseas star Ashton Agar was ruled out through injury. Agar had been booked to reprise his 2024 role at Wantage Road for the domestic T20 competition which starts on 29 May. But after the 31-year-old suffered a calf strain, the Steelbacks have moved quickly to secure Pope for the group stages in a like-for-like swap. Pope, who won the Big Bash with former club Sydney Sixers before joining his current franchise Adelaide Strikers, was named in the most recent Big Bash Team of the Tournament. And Northants head coach Darren Lehmann believes he will be a useful addition to the team. "Lloyd is an exciting leg spinner and will provide us with a good attacking option with the ball," Lehmann told the club website. "Not a lot of people will have seen him play and he will provide some mystery to oppositions." The Steelbacks, who have won the Blast twice, made it out of the group stages last season before losing to Somerset in the quarter-finals. They kick off their Blast campaign against Yorkshire at Headingley on 30 May.

Sydney Sixers appoints Matthew Mott as head coach for their Women's team
New Delhi [India] May 9 (ANI): Sydney Sixers have appointed former Australia and England mentor Matthew Mott as their new women's head coach for the next two years, as per a release from Sydney Sixers. With a reputation as one of the most accomplished coaches in the modern game, Mott brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success at the highest level. First secured by the club as an assistant with the Sixers men's side last summer, the appointment of the highly sought-after coaching talent marks a significant win for the club and one of the biggest coups in the competition to date. Mott will take charge of the women's program following the departure of Charlotte Edwards last month and will continue to provide his services to the men's squad, working alongside coaching great Greg Shipperd. Renowned as one of the game's most prolific title-winners, Mott has led championship-winning teams at both the domestic and international levels, on home soil in Australia and abroad. Head coach of the national women's team from 2015 to 2022, Mott's tenure was marked by a culture of sustained excellence and World Cup success, producing two T20 World Cup victories (2018 and 2020) and an ICC Women's World Cup title (2022), in addition to four Ashes series wins, steering the side through an era of sheer dominance. Following his departure from the Australian side, Mott was recruited to England to lead the men's national white-ball squads, where he saw further success with his side lifting the T20 World Cup in 2022 under his leadership. A talented left-handed batter, Mott represented Victoria and Queensland in a first-class playing career spanning a decade, before beginning his coaching journey with the organisation he now fittingly returns to, joining Cricket NSW as an assistant coach in 2005. Speaking about his appointment, Mott said he was excited to build on his current connection with the club and its players. 'I'm absolutely delighted to be working with the Sixers women's team. I've had a strong connection with the club over many years, so when the opportunity came up, it was one I was really keen to take on.' 'Having coached several players in the current squad, I'm looking forward to reconnecting with them, as well as working with some of the younger talent, as we push to secure another WBBL title.' 'The list is already stacked with talent, including players who've achieved success at various levels. We're looking to build on that at the Draft and put ourselves in a position to bring home a championship again this season,' he added. Speaking about the opportunity for Mott to take charge of the women's side, Sixers General Manager Rachael Haynes said: 'There are few coaches in world cricket who have achieved a similar track record of success, and 'Motty' has proven that he knows what it takes to build a strong, winning culture.' 'Motty was a fantastic addition to our men's coaching group last season, and we're really pleased that he will also continue in his role assisting the BBL side under the guidance of Greg Shipperd.' 'As a club, we strive to be world-class in all that we do, from our match day experience to our on-field performances, and we're excited to see Motty bring that same world-class approach to our program over the next two years,' he added.

'Motty has proven that he knows what it takes to build a strong, winning culture,' she said. 'Motty was a fantastic addition to our men's coaching group last season, and we're really pleased that he will also continue in his role assisting the BBL side under the guidance of Greg Shipperd.
