In just three matches, the Women's World Cup has given us two contenders for the Ball of the Tournament: Amelia Kerr squaring up Phoebe Litchfield and Marufa Akter cutting Omaima Sohail in half.

It's not often you come across a statue of a poet. This is Prof. Mohan Singh, who wrote arguably the most-quoted Punjabi poem about mother.

Harleen Deol seems to have worked hard on her hitting. This is by far her fastest T20I innings.

KL Rahul on Kevin Pietersen criticising him in the past. Think players should understand that most commentators, experts and journalists never mean any "harm" and it's never personal.

Digvesh Rathi has got Imran Tahir's hair, Sunil Narine's run-up, and Kesrick Williams' celebration. But he has also got the skills to compete with the best out there.

SRH becomes the first team in IPL 2025 to bat first after winning the toss. DC, too, wanted to bat first. Neither team wanted to field first in a day game.

Delhi Capitals concede 25 in the last two overs. Still, they should be the favourites chasing 150. The lowest total defended successfully in WPL 2025 is 177.

In all 22 games this WPL, the team winning the toss opted to chase. Wonder how often that has happened in a tournament.

UP Warriorz have five batters in the top ten lowest strike rates in WPL 2025 (min. 50 balls faced). No other team has more than two.
