The best pace trio for Durban is Marco Jansen, Dane Paterson and Kagiso Rabada, as long as Rabada convinces the medical staff he is ready. Picking them gives South Africa a leader with the new ball, a left-armer for variety and one bowler who squeezes the scoring at the other end, a blend that suits […]
Virat Kohli is the most dangerous of the three because he combines the biggest run total with the strongest record whenever India chase a target. KL Rahul scores faster and is a strong second as a finisher, while Rohit Sharma has two hundreds from 12 matches. Across the home ODIs played since the 2023 World […]
The tougher path runs through Group B, and it has little to do with individual star power. Every team there, from South Africa and New Zealand to England, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, rates at least 83 on the ICC ODI table, so there are no free points on offer. India’s side of the draw carries […]

India Women are heavy favourites, so the real stakes are selection answers, not the scoreline. Six white-ball matches between 16 and 28 October are the last home test before the South Africa tour in December. Selectors need a settled middle order, cleaner catching and ODI batting that can build innings over 50 overs. The ODIs […]
The call-up shows India’s fast bowling is wide in names but thin in experience. Prasidh Krishna’s hamstring injury handed Kamboj a first ODI cap in the third match against West Indies, with the series already sealed 2-0. The risk was low, but the question it raises is bigger. Behind Siraj and Prasidh, the reserves have […]
It should reduce dead rubbers, not remove them. The ICC has approved a 14-team 2027 ODI World Cup with two new stages, the Super Series and the Super 7, designed to put a semi-final race behind most matches. More teams advancing keeps mid-table games alive, but each side still plays only five group games. The […]

Four semifinal places are decided in the Super 7, a 21-match round-robin among seven teams who all start on zero points.
