🏏 Cricket Roundup: PAK’s interesting batting solution, how bats have changed, & do ENG drink too much?
PAK beat USA by 32 runs, UAE beat NZ by 10 wickets, & NED beat NAM by 7 wickets.

🇵🇰🇺🇸 | 🚨 Our team went beyond the headlines; Tarutr Malhotra on how PAK are maximising a limited batting order, & Raunak Thakur on how USA’s Shadley van Schalkwyk fought back with the ball. Andrew Fernando on Sahibzada Farhan’s 6-heavy 73 (41), & Venkata Krishna B on PAK’s Babar Azam problem.

🇳🇿🇦🇪 | Deivarayan Muthu on Tim Seifert & Finn Allen tearing into UAE, & Chandra Prabhu on UAE’s Alishan Sharafu who scored 55. He’s also Indian-origin – I think that’s important for why he was covered because he wasn’t UAE’s best player or top scorer yesterday. Maybe it’s an access thing? Not sure.
