Eng vs Ind 2025 – Test Series
India bounced back strongly in the 2nd Test against England, securing a commanding victory to level the series 1-1. After a tough loss in the first Test, India showed grit and determination with a disciplined bowling performance and solid batting from the top order. Shubman Gill stood out with a classy double century in the first innings (269) and a century (161) in the second innings, stabilizing the Indian innings when it mattered most. England, despite some resistance from Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope, struggled to build partnerships. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah exploited the conditions well, picking up key wickets. India’s fielding and game strategy were much sharper, reflecting their home dominance.
The pitch in Visakhapatnam offered a balanced contest, but it was India’s superior spin attack that made the difference. Bumrah’s fiery spells, especially in the first innings, turned the momentum India’s way early. The hosts posted a strong first-innings total, thanks to crucial knocks from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer. England’s aggressive Bazball approach backfired as they lost quick wickets trying to dominate spin. Kuldeep Yadav also chipped in with vital breakthroughs in the second innings. With this win, India not only equalized the series but also regained confidence ahead of the crucial third Test.
WI Vs Aus 2025 – Test Series
Australia wrapped up the two-match Test series with a dominant win over West Indies in the 2nd Test by 133 runs, securing a 2-0 series victory. The match, played at the Gabba, saw Australia maintain complete control from start to finish. Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith provided crucial runs, while the bowling unit, led by Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon, kept the West Indies lineup in check. West Indies showed glimpses of promise but couldn’t convert starts into big scores. Their batting crumbled under pressure in both innings. Australia’s home dominance in Tests continued with another clinical performance.
The Gabba pitch offered good bounce and carry, which Australian pacers used expertly. Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc made early inroads, putting West Indies on the back foot right away. Despite a few counterattacks from players like Alick Athanaze and Joshua Da Silva, the Caribbean side lacked the depth to mount a serious fight. Australia’s fielding and tactical discipline were spot-on throughout the match. With this win, they gained valuable points in the World Test Championship. For West Indies, the series was a learning experience — a reminder of the gulf between rebuilding and competing at the top level.
Ban Vs Sri 2025 – ODI Series
Bangladesh bounced back in the 2nd ODI at Colombo, riding on strong half-centuries from Parvez Hossain Emon (67) and Towhid Hridoy (51), posting a competitive 248 runs. Left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam turned the game on its head with a crucial 5‑for (5–39), dismantling Sri Lanka’s middle order. Sri Lanka started well with Kusal Mendis smashing a rapid 56 off 31 balls—the venue’s fastest fifty—but couldn’t maintain momentum. Janith Liyanage’s gritty 78 kept hope alive, but he fell just short as Mustafizur Rahman trapped the tail delivery, sealing a 16‑run win for Bangladesh. The Radpremadasa pitch again proved 240–250 a par chase, with both sides missing chances across matches. Bangladesh snapped a seven‑match ODI losing streak with this win, bringing the series to level pegging at 1–1. The series decider in Pallekele on July 8, where both teams will aim to clinch the rubber.
