An equivalent tournament for women’s football, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, was first held in 1991 in China. The women’s tournament is smaller in scale and profile than the men’s, but is growing; the number of entrants for the 2007 tournament was 120, more than double that of 1991. On 4 June 2015 Chuck Blazer while co-operating with the FBI and the Swiss authorities admitted that he and the other members of FIFA’s then-executive committee were bribed in order to promote the 1998 and 2010 World Cups. On 10 June 2015, Swiss authorities seized computer data from the offices of Sepp Blatter. The same day, FIFA postponed the bidding process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in light of the allegations surrounding bribery in the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
However, he hasn’t done either satisfactorily enough thus far. The ball flies to long leg and Adam Milne drops a sitter. Just like the first game, it’s down to these two to play out the middle overs and get a move on after India’s top-order failed.
These were very early days for international football, and the official history of FIFA describes the competition as having been a failure. It seems that Kishan knows only one way to score his runs, and that is by going aerial. That doesn’t always work, and especially when he is picked for the crucial do-or-die match after Suryakumar Yadav withdrew due to back spasms, he ought to have shown more responsibility. You may say, “That is how he plays” as you may say it with Rohit every time he hits out and gets out, especially with the short ball as he is a compulsive hooker. Sri Lanka holds the record for the highest score in ICC T20 World Cup history.
New Zealand did better in their powerplay and had knocked off half of their their target in the first seven overs, losing only the wicket of Martin Guptill . The New Zealand attack operated with exemplary discipline, conceding only two sixes as they subdued one of the most star-studded batting line-ups of the tournament. New Zealand have been India’s bogey team in recent global tournaments having prevailed over Virat Kohli’s men in the semi-finals of the 2019 ODI World Cup and the final of the World Test Championship this year.
Rahul could have been the batsman to have come in at No. 4 with Kohli staying at No. 3, or later in the order as he has shown that he is capable of throwing his bat around in the death overs. Or, in a like-for-like replacement, India should have played Kishan at No. 4 in Suryakumar Yadav’s slot without disturbing the top-order. New Zealand, which had a negative NRR after their loss to Pakistan, improved it to +0.765 after their eight-wicket win completed in under 15 overs.
The first-ever Cricket World Cup in the shortest format of the game was hosted by South Africa in 2007. Team India’s new-found captain MS Dhoni and his young team climbed great heights and won the inaugural tournament. It paved the way for the Indian Premier League in 2008. Since then, the T20 format has seen new world champions like Pakistan , England , West Indies and Sri Lanka . • In 16 T20Is against played between the two sides both the teams have 8 wins each. This is, in quite literal terms, one of the biggest “the nation wants to know” questions.
They repeated the feat at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. First up, the Men in Blue were outclassed by their arch-rivals Pakistan, who beat the Men in Blue by a giant margin of 10 wickets in their opening match of the tournament. On Sunday, India lost to New Zealand, making matters worse for itself as they are now almost knocked out of a top-four finish in the T20 World Cup 2021. Team India has once again failed to make a mark in an ICC event.
