Which Indian bowler took 5/16 against USA in the ICC U-19 World Cup 2026, marking the third-best bowling figures by an Indian in the tournament's history?
Henil PatelHenil Patel delivered a standout performance in India’s opening match of the ICC U-19 World Cup 2026 against the USA, claiming 5 wickets for just 16 runs in 7 overs. This impressive haul ranks as the third-best by an Indian bowler in the history of the men’s U-19 World Cup, behind only Kamal Passi (6/23 in 2012) and Anukul Roy (5/14 in 2018). His fiery spell helped bundle out the USA for a mere 107, paving the way for India’s comfortable six-wicket victory. Patel cited South African fast-bowling legend Dale Steyn as his inspiration, particularly admiring his aggression. The match took place in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, on January 15, 2026.

What strategic concern is India facing ahead of the series-deciding third ODI against New Zealand in Indore?
Ineffectiveness of spinners, especially Kuldeep Yadav, in middle oversIndia’s spin attack, particularly Kuldeep Yadav, struggled significantly in the second ODI in Rajkot, where New Zealand batters like Daryl Mitchell confidently swept and used their feet to counter spin. This exposed vulnerabilities in India’s middle-overs strategy and highlighted a lack of sustained pressure from their slow bowlers. In contrast, New Zealand’s spinners effectively restricted India’s scoring and induced errors. With the Indore pitch offering short boundaries and being batting-friendly, India must adopt flatter trajectories, target the stumps, and minimize boundary opportunities. The absence of Washington Sundar due to injury further weakened India’s spin options, making tactical adjustments crucial for the decider.

Mumbai IndiansUP Warriorz ended their three-match losing streak by defeating defending champions Mumbai Indians by seven wickets in their fourth match of the 2026 Women’s Premier League. Harleen Deol played a pivotal role with a quickfire 64 off 39 balls, while Chloe Tryon finished the chase emphatically. The victory came just before the two teams were scheduled to face each other again within three days. UP Warriorz are now considering reshuffling their batting order, possibly promoting Phoebe Litchfield or Shweta Sehrawat to open, given Kiran Navgire’s repeated low scores. Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, aim to bounce back and exact revenge in the rematch.
