Australia vs New Zealand live: Shane Watson is greeted by fans as he walks back to the dressing room after attending the nets at the HPCA stadium.His chunky kit-bag slinging on the shoulders, Steve Smith snuck out of the dressing room to the ground. The drizzle had almost stopped, and Smith curious for a statutory peep of the strip, which was almost entirely dressed up with white and blue tarpaulin sheets, stepped on to the ground.
South Africa vs England Live, ICC World T20: 19, 7, 71, 0 and 13 are AB de Villiers’s knocks in the last five T20I — not formidable by his standards. However, de Villiers’s (R) record at Wankhede is quite sensational. (Source: PTI)
