Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be fighting for a playoff spot in the 2024 edition of the IPL against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. It may not be a must-win for CSK as even a close loss will be enough for them to make it to the top four but RCB are on a hot streak with five successive wins.

England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt who returned to the national side in the second T20I against Pakistan in Northampton, revealed that she has plans of starting a family with her partner, Katherine, former England international and hence missed the first game due to egg-freezing procedure.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) late Thursday night announced the schedule for 16 warm-up matches that will precede the Men's T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA. A total of 17 out of 20 teams are set to play the warm-up games with England, Pakistan and New Zealand skipping.

It couldn't have gone any better for the Chennai Super Kings in the 2024 edition of the IPL as far as the result or lack of it in the Sunrisers Hyderabad-Gujarat Titans clash is concerned. A loss to SRH would have been better for them but except RCB, all others have a shot at qualifying in top two.

It seems as if the lavender jersey was attracting rain wherever Gujarat Titans were going, whether it was in Ahmedabad earlier or now in Hyderabad. Their last two games have turned out to be a damp squib with rain relenting. On Thursday, the washout meant Sunrisers Hyderabad sealed the playoff spot.

The Indian cricket team is reportedly set to play just one warm-up game ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Bangladesh at the newly built modular stadium in New York. India are set to play their three Group A matches in New York including the marquee clash against Pakistan.

Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Gujarat Titans in a key clash in the 2024 edition of the IPL on Thursday, May 16 as they look to push for the second spot on the points table. The Titans are already out of the race after their last game at home was washed out and it's raining in Hyderabad too.

Sam Curran before leaving IPL 2024 ended on a high both as a captain and as a player with Punjab Kings beating Rajasthan Royals in their penultimate game of the season in Guwahati on Wednesday, May 15. This is not the first time that Curran's team has spoiled the party for a team in the IPL.

Cricket South Africa has been on the receiving end of criticism from former ministers and ex-administrators regarding the composition of the country's T20 World Cup squad. The lack of black African players in the 15 has touched the raw nerve with the representation sword hanging over CSA.

Punjab Kings won their penultimate game of IPL 2024 against RR with the skipper Sam Curran standing up with both bat and ball. However, both he and Jonny Bairstow will leave for national duty now. Liam Livingstone, Will Jacks, Reece Topley, Phil Salt and skipper Jos Buttler have already left.

Harshal Patel has been outstanding in the 2024 edition of the IPL for Punjab Kings as he has 22 wickets to his name and currently is the holder of purple cap. Harshal's wickets include some of the biggest names in world cricket including Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni but his favourite was someone else.

Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson achieved a huge milestone in the Indian Premier League even though he scored just 18 runs against the Punjab Kings on Wednesday, May 15 in Guwahati. Samson also registered his first-ever season with 500 runs in the IPL as he has really consistent.

Rajasthan Royals just can't get out of the slump as they have now lost four in a row as Punjab Kings won sort of a tricky game with ease in the end as captain Sam Curran put his hand up with a magnificent all-round performance. Punjab have now won four games in a row on the road.

Delhi Capitals ended their campaign in the 2024 edition of the IPL with a 19-run win against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday, May 14 at home. The Capitals have 14 points in their kitty but are unlikely to qualify as they have to depend on outrageous permutations and combinations because of poor NRR.

Rajasthan Royals will take on Punjab Kings in the first of their two matches at their adopted home ground in Guwahati as they look to get back to the winning ways to seal the playoff spot. The Royals have lost three games on the trot while the Kings have nothing to lose being knocked out already.

Rajasthan Royals have hit an unexpected snag amid a sensationally consistent campaign in the 2024 edition of the IPL losing three successive games. Although their qualification chances are intact, their problems have only multiplied with their star opener Jos Buttler leaving for international duty.
