T20 World Cup: Kohli’s 2nd straight 50 sets up comfortable win for India
Virat Kohli scored a second straight half-century at the T20 World Cup as India beat the Netherlands by 56 runs on Thursday.
Kohli scored 62 not out off 44 balls to guide his team to 179-2 after India chose to bat first. Rohit Sharma scored 53 while Suryakumar Yadav hit 51 not out off 25 balls and shared an important partnership with Kohli which accelerated the innings.
In reply, the Netherlands couldn’t last against a quality Indian attack and finished at 123-9.
Earlier, Lokesh Rahul (9) fell cheaply for the second game running.
Kohli and Sharma then put on 73 runs off 56 balls for the second wicket. Sharma hit four fours and three sixes, bringing up his half-century off 35 balls. He was caught in the 12th over.
India was at 84-2 and still only scoring at seven per over. Kohli and Yadav then put on 95 runs off 48 balls. Yadav hit seven fours and a six, the latter bringing up his half-century off the last ball of the Indian innings.
Kohli’s half-century had come off 37 balls, including three fours and two sixes. India’s final acceleration put the game beyond its opponents’ reach.
Indian spinners strangled the Netherlands’ chase. Axar Patel recovered from a mauling against Pakistan and took 2-18 in four overs. It was in that game that Kohli scored a match-winning 82 not out off 53 balls.
Ravichandran Ashwin had 2-21 against the Netherlands. He dismissed Colin Ackermann (17) and Tom Cooper (9) in the same over.
Tim Pringle was the top Dutch scorer with 20 off 15 but the result was never in doubt against an impressive display by the Indian bowlers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had economical figures of 2-9 in three overs. Arshdeep Singh took 2-37 while Mohammed Shami finished with 1-27.
India moved to the top of Group 2 with four points from consecutive wins over Pakistan and the Netherlands.
South Africa is second after it beat Bangladesh by 104 runs in the first of three games on Thursday.
Rilee Rossouw posted the first century of the tournament, plundering 109 from 56 deliveries.
After brief concerns about rain, South Africa batted first and posted 205-5. Rossouw and Quinton de Kock put on 163 runs off 81 balls for the second wicket for the highest South African partnership ever at the tournament.
De Kock scored 50 off 33 balls and was eventually out for 63 off 38 balls, including seven fours and three sixes.
The Proteas then skittled Bangladesh for 101 with Anrich Nortje picking up four wickets.
“Clinical in terms of performance,” South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said. “The batting lineup has shaped up quite nicely.”
In the third Group 2 game of the day, Zimbabwe won the toss against Pakistan in Perth and opted to bat.
Pakistan is in need of its first win after losing to India in a nerve-wracking contest at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Zimbabwe has one point after its first game against South Africa in Hobart was washed out.
T20 World Cup 2022: Bangladesh player ratings vs South Africa
On Thursday, South Africa showed Bangladesh the major gap they have with the big opposition when it comes to T20 cricket. The Proteas side thumped the Tigers by a huge 104 runs in their second match of the T20 World Cup 2022. Let’s have a look at the Bangladesh team’s player ratings against the South African side.
BAN vs SA 2022: Bangladesh player ratings
The confidence level of the Bangladesh team was high after their satisfying victory over the Netherlands in the opening fixture. On the other hand, the South African side was under pressure after losing points against Zimbabwe due to inclement weather. So,it was expected that the Proteas side would come out with a lot of aggression against the Tigers in order to increase their run rates.
South African players did exactly what they planned to do against Bangladesh. In contrast, Bangladesh's players choked big time and suffered a huge defeat. Here are the player ratings of the Bangladesh cricketers.

Najmul Hossain Shanto (2/10)Opener Najmul Hossain Shanto only made 9 runs before losing his wicket to pacer Anrich Nortje in the third over. He played a very bad shot off an incoming delivery by Nortje, which resulted in a clean bowled.
Soumya Sarkar (3/10)
Soumya smacked two beautiful sixes in the mid-wicket region and showed intent to chase down South Africa’s massive 206 run target. But after making a 26-run stand with Najmul Hossain in 2 overs, Soumya lost his wicket to Anrich Nortje.
Litton Das (5/10)
Litton Das played a decent 34 off 31 balls knock after coming to the crease in the third over. He stayed at the crease till the 14th over, witnessing the wickets fall of the Bangladesh players.
Shakib Al Hasan (4/10)Shakib is yet to fulfill his expectations in the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup. The left-hand all-rounder made 1 run and picked up 2 wickets with the ball at an economy rate of 11.
Afif Hossain (3/10)
Afif didn’t do much with the bat in this match, scoring only 1 run. But he got the wicket of Quinton de Kock when bowling the 15th over.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz (2/10)
Yasir Ali was replaced by off-spinning all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz for this match. However, his inclusion proved to be fruitless. Miraz conceded 32 runs in 3 overs and made 11 runs with the bat.
Mosaddek Hossain (2/10)Mosaddek played a crucial knock in the last match against the Netherlands. But he didn’t do anything against South Africa. Mosaddek conceded 16 runs in 2 overs and made a duck with the bat.

Nurul Hasan (2/10)Wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan too had a flop day against South Africa. Nurul contributed only two runs with the bat.
Taskin Ahmed (3/10)Pacer Taskin Ahmed started his spell brilliantly, picking the wicket of South Africa captain Temba Bavuma in the first over. But Taskin lost his line and lengths in the second over and eventually finished his spell with 3-0-46-1.
Hasan Mahmud (5/10)
Hasan Mahmud continued his good showing with the ball in the match against South Africa. The promising young pacer finished his spell with a 4-0-36-1.
Mustafizur Rahman (7/10)
Mustafizur Rahman was arguably the best Bangladeshi performer against South Africa. The left-arm pacer had the best economy rate among the bowlers despite remaining wicketless. Mustafizur's final tally was 4-0-25-0.
Aftermath
Bangladesh's 104-run loss against South Africa was their biggest defeat in T20 cricket, making the Shakib-led team even more embarrassing. The bowling unit performed well in Bangladesh's opening T20 World Cup 2022 encounter against the Netherlands, which enabled them to win the match. But against South Africa, the Tigers woefully failed in every area, which had an impact on their players' ratings.

India's cricket board announces equal pay for men and women players
India's all-powerful cricket control board has announced equal pay for men and women players, a historic move aimed at luring young girls to the game.
Till now, top category male cricket players earned much more match fee than their female counterparts in India.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tweeted the decision on Thursday.
"I’m pleased to announce @BCCI's first step towards tackling discrimination. We are implementing pay equity policy for our contracted @BCCIWomen cricketers," BCCI secretary Jay Shah tweeted.
"The match fee for both Men and Women Cricketers will be same as we move into a new era of gender equality in Indian Cricket," he wrote.
"The @BCCIWomen cricketers will be paid the same match fee as their male counterparts. Test (INR 15 lakhs), ODI (INR 6 lakhs), T20I (INR 3 lakhs). Pay equity was my commitment to our women cricketers and I thank the Apex Council for their support," Shah added.
The move comes barely 10 days after former Indian all-rounder Roger Binny replaced Sourav Ganguly as the head of the cricket control board.
With a net worth of USD 2 billion, the BCCI is the world's richest cricketing body that wields significant influence in the global cricket arena.
Binny, who was the highest wicket taker in the historic 1983 World Cup that India won, played a total of 27 Tests and 72 one-day internationals in his cricketing career. He was regarded as an astute all-rounder.
T20 World Cup: South Africa outplay Bangladesh to win Sydney match
Riding on an imperious batting display by Rilee Rossouw and Quinton de Kock, South Africa outplayed Bangladesh in their second match of the T20 World Cup in Sydney on Thursday.
In reply to South Africa’s massive total of 205 runs, Bangladesh tumbled for 101 in 16.3 overs and lost the match by a huge margin of 104 runs.
Read:T20 World Cup: Rossouw’s ton set a tough challenge for Bangladesh
Bangladesh made a short and brisk start to their innings, as Soumya Sarkar scored 16 off just 6 balls. But that was the only point in the match when Bangladesh were hopeful about a comeback after conceding more than 10 runs in a over while bowling.
In the third over of Bangladesh’s innings, both Soumya and Najmul Hossain Shanto were sent back by Anrich Nortje who eventually was the main reason behind Bangladesh’s batting collapse. Nortje bagged four wickets, conceding only 10 runs in 3.3 overs.
Litton Das was Bangladesh’s torch bearer, scoring 34 off 31 runs. But his innings only reduced the margin of Bangladesh’s heavy defeat.
Earlier, Rossouw was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan, but only in the 19th over when he did enough damage to Bangladesh. The left-handed batter ended up on 109 off just 56 deliveries with seven fours and eight sixes.
It was the second consecutive ton by Rossouw in T20Is — only the second instance of such fate.
In the first 15 overs, South Africa posted 176 for only two wickets. But in the last five overs, Bangladesh made a good comeback conceding only 29 runs and taking three more wickets.
While Rossouw was the best scorer for South Africa, de Kock was the second-best batter for them scoring 63 off just 38 balls.

Earlier, Taskin Ahmed removed South African captain Temba Bavuma for two in the first over. But the Tigers failed to continue on a good start.
South Africa ended up on 209 for five in 20 overs.
For Bangladesh, Shakib bagged two wickets conceding 33 runs in three overs while Taskin, Hasan Mahmud and Afif Hossain scalped one wicket each.
Bangladesh won their first match against the Netherlands, while South Africa shared points in their first match that was washed away due to rains.
The Tigers will take on Zimbabwe on October 30 at the Gabba.
