A Look Ahead to the Cricket Fixtures in March 2021

A busy schedule of fixtures in the cricket calendar take place in March, both international and domestic action with a number of key games for fans to enjoy.

New Zealand vs Australia

The number one team in the world, New Zealand, will be looking to seal their test series versus Australia as early as the first week of March.

Stokes onslaught takes Test away from Proteas

Ben Stokes launched a memorable blitz on the Proteas to effectively take any chance of a home win out of the equation on day four of the second Test match at Newlands on Monday.

The England’s all-rounder’s onslaught was as unorthodox as it was effective as he shared a partnership of 92 with Dom Sibley and contributed 72 off the runs scored off just 47 balls with 7 fours and 3 sixes.

India thump South Africa to take series 3-0

India needed just two overs to wrap up the final Freedom Series Test match against the South Africa at Ranchi on Tuesday by an innings and 202 runs margin and clinch a 3-0 series triumph and, with it, 120 points in the ICC World Test Championship. Shahbaz Nadeem took the remaining two wickets in successive balls, the final one in bizarre fashion when he dismissed Lungi Ngidi caught and bowled as the ball deflected off the non-striker, Anrich Nortje.

South Africa end Japan's fairy tale run with second half display

The Springboks produced a second half revival to clinch a place in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals after a ‘nervous’ first 40 raised hopes for a packed home crowd of a repeat of the ‘Miracle of Brighton’ which had seen Japan turn the rugby world on its head with victory over South Africa four years ago.

The Springboks stretched away from an edgy two-point halftime lead (5-3) with 21 unanswered points in the second half.

Bengal Warriors stun Dabang Delhi 39-34 in Pro Kabaddi final

Bengal Warriors produced an outstanding performance to beat Dabang Delhi 39-34 to clinch the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League Season 7 title for the first time in front of a packed audience at the EKA Arena by TransStadia in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Bengal’s consistency in the most fiercely-fought season of VIVO PKL got rewarded as a composed performance by the team, captained by captain Mohammad Nabibakhsh’s 10-point game. This helped Bengal Warriors clinch the coveted title for th...

India wrap up series with thumping innings win

INDIA, having decided to enforce the follow on, duly wrapped up the second Freedom Series Test match by an innings and 137 runs and in the process took a winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series at Pune on Sunday. It was also India’s biggest winning margin over the Standard Bank Proteas.

It was another disappointing batting day for the Proteas as the 10 wickets were evenly divided with five going to the seamers and five to the spinners.

Shami rips heart out of Proteas batting to set up series lead

Mohammed Shami produced a brilliant spell of reverse swing bowling to strike the mortal blows that earned India victory by 203 runs with more than a session to spare in the opening Test match of the Freedom Series against the Proteas at Visakhapatnam on Sunday. He dismissed Temba Bavuma, Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock – the latter two in the space of three balls – who were all bowled.

With Ravi Ashwin getting rid of Theunis de Bruyn and Ravindra Jadeja then taking a b...

South Africa pummel India to level the series

Beuran Hendricks set the standard on his return to the Standard Bank Proteas T20 side to spearhead a superb bowling performance that put them on the road to a famous nine-wicket victory with 19 balls to spare and a share of the T20 International series against India at Bangaluru on Sunday.

The victory was as one-sided as the final margin suggested and represents a tremendous achievement for the new leadership team of Interim Team Director Enoch Nkwe and Interim captain Qu...

India ease past South Africa in 2nd T20 International

Virat Kohli and David Miller both took spectacular one-handed catches that were totally sensational in the second T20 International match between the South Africa and India at Mohali on Wednesday.

India won the match by seven wickets with an over to spare to give them a 1-0 lead in the series with just the final match of the series to be played at Bangaluru on Sunday after the opening match at Dharamsala last Sunday was washed out.

Robert Karlsson named Vice-Captain of Europe's Ryder Cup team

European Captain Padraig Harrington has named Robert Karlsson as his first vice captain for The 2020 Ryder Cup against the United States at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin next September.

The 50-year-old Swede twice represented Europe in The Ryder Cup – including partnering Harrington twice in foursomes at Valhalla in 2008 - and he will return to the backroom team in the biennial contest having been vice captain to Thomas Bjørn at Le Golf National in 2018.

Anirban Lahiri regains PGA Tour card

Indian golf star Anirban Lahiri has secured a quick return onto the PGA TOUR following a “satisfying” top-five finish at the Albertson Boise Open presented by Kraft Nabisco, the penultimate event on the Korn Ferry Tour (KFT) Finals, on Sunday. With a T7 finish achieved in the previous week’s Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, Lahiri has now secured enough points to earn one of the 25 PGA TOUR cards at stake at the KFT Finals.

The 32-year-old former Asian No.1 ca...
