Temba Bavuma and David Miller struck centuries as South Africa beat Australia by 32 runs in the second ODI at Wanderers Stadium. Bavuma scored 103 and Miller made 142 as South Africa posted 365 for nine after being sent in. The pair added 156 runs for the fourth wicket. Miller's innings came from 93 balls and included 12 fours and nine sixes.

Australia were bowled out for 333 despite an opening stand of 130 between Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head, both scoring 84. Jack Edwards took five wickets for Australia. The win gave South Africa an unassailable 2-0 lead and marked their sixth consecutive bilateral ODI series win over Australia since 2016-17.

The third and final ODI will be played in Potchefstroom on Wednesday. Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said his side set up their innings well in both games but failed to execute during the middle phases. South Africa wore pink shirts to raise awareness of breast cancer, with players wearing the names of cancer survivors on their backs.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has said that Hardik Pandya's recurring injuries will make it difficult for selectors to have confidence in his availability. Pandya has been ruled out of India's home series against West Indies with a fresh shin injury that has extended his time away from competitive cricket to four months.

Pathan said it was unfortunate that Pandya was getting injured without playing. He added that the all-rounder had suffered multiple setbacks during rehabilitation after a back stress issue and quadriceps injury in IPL 2026.

Pathan called for India to develop more fast-bowling all-rounders to provide cover. He identified Nitish Kumar Reddy as one player who could be given a longer run in the role.

Kuldeep Yadav took 4 for 40 as India beat West Indies by eight wickets in the first ODI at Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. The left-arm wrist-spinner claimed four wickets in 10 overs after West Indies reached 135 for no loss. Campbell fell to a sweep, followed by Hope, Greaves and Andrew.

Virat Kohli scored 139 not out and Shubman Gill made 110 as India chased 296 in 41.4 overs. The pair added 151 runs for the second wicket. Kohli reached 15,000 ODI runs during the innings, becoming the second player after Sachin Tendulkar to reach the milestone.

Kuldeep said he felt calm in his rhythm and bowled whatever he wanted. Gill said the wrist-spinner got India back in the game after the opening partnership threatened to take the match away. The result gives India a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Jos Buttler has been ruled out of England's third ODI against Sri Lanka with a hamstring injury from the second match at Headingley. Surrey batter Dan Lawrence will join the squad at The Oval on Saturday morning. Buttler had looked set to play a decisive role in the chase before pulling up in the 38th over with England at 254 for four. He returned in the 48th over, added only two runs, then was dismissed for 69. Sri Lanka won by 16 runs to level the series at 1-1. Jordan Cox has been added as wicketkeeper cover.

Rohit Sharma said the thought that his business is finished will never cross his mind as long as he keeps playing. The former India captain dismissed speculation about his retirement ahead of the three-match ODI series against the West Indies. He said he remains fully focused on playing a fourth ODI World Cup for India in 2027.

Rohit has already retired from T20Is and Tests, leaving the 50-over format as his only remaining international commitment. He said ICC tournaments bring unique challenges that require different preparation and thinking. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia publicly rejected earlier reports that the selection panel intended to move on from Rohit after the England tour.

Rohit scored 138 in the third ODI at Lord's earlier this year, his first century at the venue, after speculation about his future intensified.

Jasprit Bumrah will return to India's playing XI for the Asian Games quarterfinal against Afghanistan on Monday. The match is scheduled at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan. Bumrah is expected to replace Vidarbha pacer Yash Thakur, who played the third T20I against Afghanistan and the one-off match against Japan but did not bowl in the rain-shortened contest.

The Indian team management could also consider including 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in place of Shivam Dube. Sooryavanshi has not played a T20I since July 26. If selected, he could open with Abhishek Sharma, with Sanju Samson moving to number three. Abhishek won the Player of the Series award in the recent T20I rubber against Afghanistan.

India's likely playing XI for the quarterfinal reads Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. Shreyas Iyer will captain the side as India defend their gold medal from the 2022 Games.

Inzamam-ul-Haq tops the list of Pakistan's highest run-scorers against India across all formats with 3,428 runs. He scored 2,403 runs in 67 ODIs at an average above 43 and added 1,025 runs in 15 Test matches.

Javed Miandad follows with 3,399 runs from 28 Tests and 64 ODIs, including a Test record of 2,228 runs at an average of 67.51 against India. Saeed Anwar ranks third with 3,126 runs, highlighted by his 194 off 146 balls in the 1997 Independence Cup in Chennai.

Mohammad Yousuf collected 2,488 runs in 42 ODIs and nine Tests, while Younis Khan completed the top five with 2,360 runs, including 1,321 Test runs at an average of 88.06 in 13 matches.
