  • Inzamam-ul-Haq accuses ICC of favouring India team in T20 World Cup 2024 | Cricket News

    In the whirlwind of the T20 World Cup 2024, controversy has once again found its place, this time courtesy of cricketing legend Inzamam-ul-Haq. Known for his outspoken nature, Inzamam has launched a scathing critique aimed squarely at the Indian cricket establishment and the International Cricket Council (ICC) itself. His latest salvo takes aim at what he perceives as preferential treatment for India, highlighting discrepancies in tournament scheduling and alleged benefits that he claims have tilted the playing field.

    “There is no reserve day in the match between India and England, because if India is on top of the table then it will go to the final”

    “When PAK was in strong position in Asia Cup, reserve day was given just for one match”

    “It’s not Big3, it’s just Big1”

    The Unfolding Drama

    The saga began with Inzamam’s pointed accusation of possible ball tampering by Team India during their Super 8 game against Australia, as Arshdeep Singh was able to generate reverse swing as early as the 15th over. India captain Rohit Sharma firmly refuted the allegations, urging Inzamam to look at things with an “open mind.”

    Scheduling shenanigans?

    Inzamam’s latest volley takes aim at the T20 World Cup’s scheduling decisions, particularly regarding India’s path to the semi-finals. His central grievance revolves around the absence of a reserve day for India’s semi-final match against England, contrasting sharply with other semi-final fixtures. Inzamam argues that this disparity underscores a pattern of favoritism towards India, suggesting that such decisions undermine the tournament’s integrity.

    Inzamam said, “If you see the two semi-finals, only the India-England game does not have a reserve day. That’s because, India have won all of their games and they will qualify to the final if the game is abandoned.” “There are different rules for each match!” said Inzamam.

    In a thrilling encounter at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, Axar Patel’s breathtaking catch off his own bowling became the defining moment of India’s dominant display against Ireland in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Group A match. Let’s delve into the excitement of the game, highlight standout performances, and provide insightful analysis.

    Axar Patel’s Spectacular Catch Dismisses Barry McCarthy

    As the game progressed, India’s grip tightened on Ireland, with Axar Patel’s exceptional athleticism leaving the opposition stunned. Introduced into the attack by captain Rohit Sharma in the 12th over, Axar’s impact was immediate. With just two deliveries, he made his mark, luring Barry McCarthy into a flick shot towards the leg side. However, McCarthy’s attempt resulted in a top edge, sending the ball soaring towards the non-striker’s end. With remarkable agility, Axar Patel lunged forward, executing a full dive to clutch the catch with both hands, dismissing McCarthy without conceding any runs.

    Milestone Achievement for Axar Patel

    This stunning catch also marked a significant milestone for Axar Patel, as it became his 50th wicket in T20 Internationals. Joining an elite group of Indian bowlers, including Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Jasprit Bumrah, Axar’s achievement underlined his prowess in the shortest format of the game.

    Dominant Bowling Performance by India Against Ireland

    Prior to Axar Patel’s heroics, India’s bowlers had set the tone for the match with a stellar performance. Opting to field first after winning the toss, Rohit Sharma’s decision proved prudent as left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh struck early, dismissing both Irish openers within the powerplay overs. Hardik Pandya then joined the onslaught, claiming crucial wickets alongside Jasprit Bumrah, as Ireland found themselves struggling at 36/4. Despite a brief resistance from Gareth Delany, who contributed a quickfire 26 off 14 balls, Ireland succumbed to the relentless pressure imposed by the Indian bowlers. Eventually, they were bundled out for a meager 96 runs in just 16 overs.
