Mumbai Indians will look to consolidate their place at the top of the Indian Premier League table when they take on Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Friday.
Mumbai have been the most consistent side so far in the competition with five wins from six games and will start as favourites despite playing away from home.
Skipper Sachin Tendulkar is at the top of the run-scorers list and Lasith Malinga leads the wicket-takers' table by a comfortable margin and the two will be the key against Rajasthan as well.
The match will also see Tendulkar and skipper Shane Warne reignite their rivalry and unlike in the past when the battles have been evenly-matched,...

Former West Indies captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul has demanded an explanation from WICB chief Ernest Hilaire regarding the comments he made regarding the lack of discipline and application in the team, leading up to its massive post World Cup overhaul. In a strongly-worded letter addressed to Hilaire, a copy of which is with ESPNcricinfo, Chanderpaul questioned whether the comments were directed at him.
Chanderpaul, along with senior players Chris...

Pakistan overcame a blistering spell from Ravi Rampaul and some late panic against the impressive Devendra Bishoo to secure the series against West Indies with a three-wicket victory in Barbados. The hosts had collapsed feebly once again, but Pakistan were jolted by Rampaul's four strikes and needed the calm head of Misbah-ul-Haq, who remained cool as Bishoo threatened to turn the game again.
It became a more compelling contest than looked likely...

The death of cricket in Pakistan may be a foregone conclusion, but cricket on the subcontinent - where the game's financial heart beats - may also be fatally wounded, pundits say.
As the shock waves from yesterday's attack on Sri Lankan cricketers spread, the future of the game has been dissected in newspapers and on TV.
Numerous outlets drew direct comparisons to the attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Almost uniformly,...

New Delhi, April 29 (IANS) India vice-captain Virender Sehwag said the early appointment of Duncan Fletcher as the India cricket coach will help the team prepare well for the forthcoming series in England.
"It's good for India. It's a good thing that the board has found a replacement in quick time. It will obviously help the players and the new coach to settle down early. He (Fletcher) will get enough time to do home work before our series against England starts," said the opening batsman.
"Now that he is in charge of the team, we will have an early camp and it will help us to prepare better," he said.
Asked if he had any interaction with...

NEW DELHI: It's a rarity in T20 cricket as also in litigation, but a bitter legal contest between the cricket board's ex-president A C Muthiah and present secretary N Srinivasan ended in a tie in the Supreme Court on Thursday.
A bench comprising Justices J M Panchal and Gyan Sudha Misra gave a split verdict on Muthiah's challenge to an amendment to a BCCI rule, which allowed Srinivasan to hold office as treasurer and later secretary while his company, India Cement, owned the Chennai Super Kings team for the IPL T20 tournament.
The unamended rule had prohibited administrators from having commercial interest in all cricket matches organised...

Pakistan defeated West Indies by three wickets in low-scoring match at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Thursday to clinch the series 3-0 as Misbah-ul-Haq once again showed the way, instead of skipper Shahid Afridi.
The match was shortened to 45 overes after heavy rain delayed the start of the match and Pakistani skipper never hesitated inviting his opposite number to bat first after winning the toss.
Shahid Khan Afridi was once again below par...

LAHORE:
Despite the fact that Zulqarnain Haider hung up his boots prematurely given the circumstances that forced him to retire, it may be a while before the former wicket-keeper is considered for national duty again.
Haider admitted missing playing cricket but also stated the stance he took, against corruption, was equally important. The 25-year-old left the team during the One-Day International series against South Africa in the UAE and...

August 1976. England is in the grip of the longest and fiercest heatwave on record. The cricket field at the Kennington Oval is so parched that you might imagine yourself to be in Trinidad or Antigua, not London. The thousands of black faces around the boundary rope only add to the impression of a Caribbean outpost in SE11.
Michael Holding has the ball. Loose-limbed and doe-eyed, with a languid running style that has earned him the nickname 'Whispering...

Shahid Afridi and his Pakistani side must be justifiably proud of their performance in the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. Not only did they confound expectations by defeating pre-tournament favourites Sri Lanka in the latter's home territory, they also earned the honour of ending the defending champion Australia's 12-year unbeaten run at the World Cup. Coming on the back of arguably the most difficult 12-month period in the history of Pakistan cricket, it is indeed remarkable that this apparently ramshackle unit was able to reach the semi-finals, and that as group leaders. In doing so, they fared considerably better than their...

Delhi finally feels like home for Delhi Daredevils. With players such as Virender Sehwag, David Warner and Morne Morkel in the side, they had been frustrated by lifeless home tracks that made stroke-play and pace bowling difficult. Before this game Sehwag demanded pace, and then in the company of Warner showed just why. They added 146 for the first wicket in 11.4 overs, an ideal platform for a comfortable win despite an equally remarkable innings...

Deccan Chargers had the chance to retain Rohit Sharma and Andrew Symonds, but let both of them go, and paid the price on Sunday. The pair came together with Mumbai wobbling at 70 for 4 in the 10th over, having lost three wickets for the addition of no run in six balls, and proceeded to pulverise their former side in a 102-run stand that came off just 65 balls. Mumbai followed the pyrotechnics of their Deccan imports with a typically clinical show...

On Tuesday, UBL won the PCB's Patron's Trophy Grade II final, beating Pak Medicam on first-innings lead in a rain-interrupted final at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. That win meant the side has now qualified to play in the QEA trophy...
