Vivo IPL 2021: IPL franchise face another woe as UAE suspends flights from India until July 21.



Vivo IPL 2021: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and IPL Franchises has recently been hit by another roadblock as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government along with the General Civil Aviation Authority of the country has decided to extend the ban on all the connecting flights from India until 23:59 hrs of July 21.



A few IPL franchises were earlier planning to travel to the UAE to checkout and start their off-field preparations for the IPL 2021.



As per the reports, franchise owners and stakeholders were planning to fly to the UAE to finalize the logistics part of the league.



The BCCI lately announced that the 31 remaining games of the Vivo IPL 2021 will be held in the three grounds of the UAE- Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

?Unlike last year, bulk bookings won?t be as easy this year as you will have people travelling into the country and that makes the work around bio-bubbles all the more critical,? a franchise official was quoted by ANI as saying.



To fly to the UAE now, the franchises will have to seek special permission from the BCCI as well as the government of the UAE.

Asia Cup 2022 could move out to UAE from Sri Lanka amid political turmoil: The 2022 edition of the Asia Cup, which is slated to be held in Sri Lanka, could be moved out of its original venue due to the political fluidity in the island nation. As per the reports, there are strong chances that the six-nation tournament to shift to the UAE.



The sources in the know of development inform that the discussions to shift the tournament out of Sri Lanka have begun between the Asian Cricket Council and Emirates Cricket Board (ECB). The Sri Lankan cricket board (SLC) has been kept in the loop to undergo a smooth change.



It has been learnt that the schedule and dates for the Asia Cup 2022 will be kept the same even if the tournament is shifted out of Sri Lanka. As per the originally released schedule, the Asia Cup 2022 will begin from August 26 to September 11.



The situation worsened in Sri Lanka pretty quickly in the last one week. Nationwide protests have been carried out, the sitting President fled the country and a new leader is being installed.



The situation was different in the last few weeks when SLC agreed to host the multi-nation tournament. However, as the crisis getting escalated, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is in talks to move the tournament out of the island nation.



"In such a scenario, it is being felt that hosting the championship is not appropriate," a member of the ACC told Cricbuzz on Saturday (July 16).

However, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has projected a different scenario for this situation:



"Our first preference is to support Sri Lanka and play the Asia Cup there. If this tournament does not take place in Sri Lanka, it will be a huge cricketing and financial loss for them. Australia's recent tour of Sri Lanka went off without any problems,? said PCB CEO.



"Similarly, there have been no issues with the on-going Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka as we are constantly in touch with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and our embassy in the country. Our discussions with the ACC representatives have suggested that the tournament is on track at the moment as they are monitoring the situation very carefully and we will support their decision," Faisal Hasnain, PCB CEO, said.



This year?s Asia Cup will be conducted in the T20 format in view of preparing for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.



The most anticipated India vs Pakistan fixture in the Asia Cup 2022 will be held on August 28.

Sri Lanka vs UAE: Sri Lanka will face the UAE in their second group stage match of the ongoing 2022 T20 World Cup at the GMHBA Stadium on October 18th. Both these teams have suffered unexpected defeats in their respective first matches of the Group Stage so far, and this match will be do-or-die for both of them as another loss will practically mean elimination.?



Sri Lanka was considered one of the favourites to win the competition this year after their phenomenal performance in the Asia Cup 2022 (which they won), but they surprisingly lost their first match of the tournament against Namibia, which was kind of a bummer. They will now have to win against the UAE to survive in this tournament.?



Let us now take a look at all the necessary details about this match.&nbsp;



<h2>Sri Lanka vs UAE: Match Details&nbsp;</h2>



<ul><li>Sri Lanka vs UAE</li><li>Date and Time: 18th October, 1:30 PM&nbsp;</li><li>Venue: GMHBA Stadium, South Geelong&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2>Sri Lanka vs UAE: Weather Report&nbsp;</h2>



South Geelong is expected to have showers on October 18th from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and this might affect the match. Showers will also make the outfield slow, and in that case, the team that bats first will have an advantage. The expected temperature is 19 degrees Celsius, the precipitation is 50%, the humidity is 77%, and the anticipated wind speed is about 19 km/hr.?



<h2>Sri Lanka vs UAE: Predicted Lineups</h2>



Sri Lanka - Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana.&nbsp;



UAE - Vriitya Aravind, Waseem Muhammad, Chirag Suri, Aryan Lakra, Vishnu Sukumaran, Basil Hameed, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zawar_Farid">Zawar Farid</a>, Aayan Afzal Khan, Karthik Meiyappan, Sultan Ahmed, Sanchit Sharma.&nbsp;



<h2>Sri Lanka vs UAE: Winning Prediction&nbsp;</h2>



Sri Lanka might have lost their first match of the tournament against Namibia, but there?s no denying that they have been incredible in the last couple of months and that they are totally in form. This Sri Lanka team does not even have a chance against this UAE team, and thus we expected them to defeat UAE almost single-handedly.?

The marquee event of this year, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is approaching quickly and Pakistan are busy finalizing preparations to compete as the hosts. They will be competing in a Tri-Series versus South Africa and New Zealand before the Champions Trophy and this bilateral event will act as a preparatory ground for the Mohammad Rizwan-led team. 
They have momentum on their side as they will be entering the tournament on the back of historic series wins in South Africa and Australia and also a good performance in the Tri Series will definitely increase their confidence and morale. 
Interestingly, the hosts are the only team who haven't unveiled their squad yet for the meha event of this year and questions about their unannounced squad have already started to raise and discussions have sparked. 
With explosive opener Saim Ayub struggling with an ankle fracture, several news reports have claimed that the Pakistani selectors might consider bringing in the likes of Shan Masood back into the One-Day International setup. Apart from the Test Captain, the National Team selectors might also consider bringing in some forgotten players and let's take a look at three such forgotten players who might get a chance to make their comebacks into the team in the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Usama Mir  </h2>
29-year-old spinner Usama Mir might find himself back in the squad for Champions Trophy 2025. With 15 scalps to his name in 12 One-Day Internationals, Usama has demonstrated his ability to outfox opposition batters with his unpredictable variations. While the duo of Sufiyan Muqeem and Abrar Ahmed have shown promise, their lack of experience in 50 over Cricket could lead the selectors to pick Usama Mir over the two above mentioned players. In List-A Cricket, the 29-year-old has dismissed 86 batters in 58 contests, which further strengthens his case. 
<h2>Shadab Khan</h2>
Once considered as the backbone of Pakistan's spin bowling unit, Shadab Khan has been away from One-Day Cricket due to a prolonged rough patch with the ball. The leg spin bowling All-rounder, with 85 scalps and 855 runs to his name in 70 One-Day Internationals, still remains a valuable asset for the Green Shirts. 
Keeping in mind the middle order struggles of the defending champions, Khan's ability to contribute with both ball &amp; bat could help him in securing a spot in Pakistan's Champions Trophy 2025 squad. His experience and a knack of performing in high-pressure situations makes him a strong contender for making a comeback to the National Team.
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Imam-ul-Haq</h2>
29-year-old Imam-ul-Haq, a reliable opening batter with a total of 3,138 One-Day International runs to his name at a good average of 48.27, last participated in an ODI match during the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. With Saim Ayub missing out due to an ankle injury and Abdullah Shafique struggling for form with the bat, the Pakistani selectors might turn to Imam in order to provide stability to the top-order. His proven track-record in ODI's make him a perfect option for the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.
The selection committee of Pakistan's Men's National Cricket Team faces some tough decisions ahead of 2025 Champions Trophy. While the trio of Imam, Shadab and Usama may seem like surprising picks, their skill sets and experience could prove to be very crucial on home soil. Pakistani fans eagerly await the squad announcement of the National Team and they are hoping to see a balanced team capable of defending the Champions Trophy.

An incredible Bollywood biopic is set to be made on the life of former legendary Indian Captain Sourav Ganguly also known by his famous nickname 'Dada'. Following the success of the biopics of Mohammad Azharuddin, Mithali Raj and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ganguly's story will also be seen on the big screens. It is reported that this incredible film be made with the help of a big financial budget and talks are ongoing of executing this film under a big production house. 
Actor Rajkumar Rao's name has popped up to play the role of Dada in the film. Before, there were talks of Ranbir Kapoor and then Ayushmann Khurrana to play the role of the legendary Indian captain but there's no official confirmation regarding who will get the chance to play the role of Ganguly. 
The information about the script and release date are yet to be revealed and many interesting stories of Ganguly's life will be shown in this upcoming movie. Let's take a look at five such incidents which can make this biopic even more special:
<h2>Waving Team India's shirt on the Lord's balcony</h2>
In the all-important final of the 2002 Natwest Trophy, Team India chased down the difficult target of 326 runs and defeated England and this victory proved to be a really historic one. After securing this victory, Dads took off his jersey and waved it on the famous Lord's balcony. This moment became a symbol of the new era of Indian Cricket and showing this moment can truly make the biopic of Ganguly special.
<h2>Differences with Rahul Dravid</h2>
The friendship between two legends of Indian Cricket, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid was quite famous in the world of Cricket. But when Greg Chappell became the head coach of the National Team, differences started arising between the two players. Ganguly didn't like Chappell's arbitrariness and he expressed his displeasure with Dravid that he was not saying anything to Chappell despite being the skipper. This is the main reason why there was a distance between the two.
<h3>Greg Chappell Controversy</h3>
In 2005, the controversy between coach Greg Chappell and Ganguly created a stir in the world of Cricket. The former Australian batter wrote an email to the BCCI and called Ganguly "physically &amp; mentally" unfit for handling the leadership duties of the Men in Blue. This entire controversy was leaked to the Indian media and it made a lot of headlines.
<h2>Differences with Ravi Shastri</h2>
During the selection of the head coach of the Indian Team in 2016, a dispute was created between Ravi Shastri and Sourav Ganguly. The former had given his interview through a video call and the latter didn't attend the interview through a video call. Apart from Ganguly, the likes of VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar were also a part of the committee formed for the selection of the Head Coach. 
As Dada didn't attend the video call, a rhetoric was created between him and Shastri. This dispute became the main talking point in Indian Media.
<h3>Rumours of an affair with actress Nagma</h3>
During the 1999 ODI World Cup, the news of an affair between actress Nagma and Cricketer Sourav Ganguly popped up in the headlines. Although the Cricketer always denied it, the actress later confirmed the relationship and said that they had ended it in the interest of the country. Ganguly was already married and was the father of a child too at that time so the affair rumours proved to be very significant.

Meanwhile, James Smith replaced Jacob Bethell and Carse IN for Gus Atkinson.

Jos Buttler came in next and wasted no time launching an assault, taking 16 runs off Arshdeep's second over. At the other end, Washington Sundar struck with his very first delivery in the fourth over, dismissing Duckett cheaply.
Harry Brook walked in and played a brief cameo, scoring 13 off 7 balls, but Varun Chakravarthy sent him back with a peach of a delivery, needing no assistance from the smog this time! Meanwhile, Jos Buttler fought valiantly but fell five runs short of his half-century, caught in the deep off Axar Patel. Axar struck again soon after, removing Liam Livingstone with a similar delivery, leaving England struggling at 90 for 5.
Jamie Smith attempted to counter-attack, smashing 10 runs off the first two balls of Abhishek Sharma's over, but the bowler had the last laugh, dismissing him shortly after. Brydon Carse took charge next, displaying an ultra-aggressive intent. He even hammered Varun Chakravarthy for back-to-back sixes, signaling a late surge for England.

Varma began to take on the English bowlers with some aggressive strokes, but his efforts were hindered as he kept losing partners at the other end, with both Suryakumar Yadav and Dhruv Jurel departing in quick succession. Hardik Pandya looked in fluent touch but Overton's first ball took the edge off his bat and India was in a big problem altogether.

England managed to build momentum, but Washington Sundar and Tilak Varma steadied the Indian innings. The turning point came in the 13th over when Sundar took the attack to Mark Wood, smashing him for six and two fours, shifting the momentum back in India’s favor. However, Brydon Carse struck in the very next over, clean-bowled Sundar, and put England back in control.
Axar Patel fell to Liam Livingstone and then Verma took the responsibility on his shoulders. Arshdeep played an ugly shot and lost his wicket as well. India needed 21 off 20 then and Ravi Bishnoi not only saved his wicket but also picked a valuable four. 13 runs were needed in the last two overs and after a decent four balls, Ravi Bishnoi punched a half-volley over the points for four. India just needed 6 from the last over and Mark Wood had the last over to bowl. 
Tilak was in the strike for the last over and he punched the first ball to the extra covers for two runs and the next ball through the covers for a four and INDIA won the match by 8 wickets.
