Proteas Chase Down 282 For Historic Triumph
At Lord’s, South Africa clinched their first ICC World Test Championship title in a momentous final, successfully chasing Australia’s 282 with five wickets to spare, ending a 27-year trophy drought, primarily due to Aiden Markram’s superb 136 which spearheaded their recovery from 20-2. Kagiso Rabada’s haul of nine wickets for the match put Australia on the back foot, but it was Markram’s composed century and Temba Bavuma’s resilient 65* through pain that sealed a memorable victory for South Africa.
Dominant Bowling Collapse Dismisses Seattle Orcas Swiftly
Major League Cricket’s standout performance saw the Texas Super Kings bundle out the Seattle Orcas for just 60 while defending a modest 153. At Oakland Coliseum, Zia-ul-Haq and Nandre Burger each excelled with three wickets, effectively utilizing the pitch’s unpredictable bounce. The Orcas never recovered from early breakthroughs, succumbing in under 14 overs as Texas cruised to a 93 run win. This emphatic bowling display underlines the Super Kings’ red hot form, extending their winning streak and sending a clear statement to the rest of the competition.
Nail Biting Finish Sees Texas Edge New Yorkers
In another tight MLC contest, the Texas Super Kings edged MI New York by just three runs in a high scoring thriller at Oakland. Chasing 186, MI New York fought valiantly, reaching 182 before falling agonizingly short. Calvin Savage’s lower order cameo almost tipped the scales, but Texas held their nerve on the final ball to secure back to back wins. This victory highlighted both sides’ batting depth and set the tone for what promises to be an electric season in the U.S. T20 league.
Muzarabani inspired Zimbabwe Snatches Late Narrow Test Victory
In a rain interrupted Sylhet Test, Zimbabwe chased down Bangladesh’s second innings 174/7 to win by three wickets in a nail biting finish. Opting to bowl first, Zimbabwe’s bowlers skittled Bangladesh for 191, then restricted them to 255 in the second innings—highlighted by Blessing Muzarabani’s six wicket haul. Needing 174 to win, the lower order held firm under pressure, with Muzarabani again contributing crucial runs, guiding Zimbabwe across the line on day four in only 50.1 overs. An underdog triumph that set the tone for a gripping series.
Narrow Win Secured Nondescripts on Final Ball

Choosing to bat, NCC posted 159/6 thanks to a brisk 65 from Moors bound opener Perera.
