Nigar Sultana Jyoti struck an unbeaten 51-ball 75 as Bangladesh women’s team beat their Sri Lankan counterparts by six wickets in the first T20I in Colombo on Tuesday.

The 58-ball ton was Babar's third T20I ton. Notably, he is the only Pakistan batter with more than one hundred in the format. The hundred puts Babar close to the top of the list of batters with most T20I tons

Skipper Paul Stirling smashed 77 off 41 deliveries as Ireland registered their first win of the Bangladesh tour with a seven-wicket victory in the third and final T20I at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today.

The match was reduced to 11 overs a side but produced 263 runs and 15 wickets in a frantic contest

Shadab replaced Babar Azam for the series as Pakistan decided to rest their regular skipper along with seniors Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf.

The last time the current world champions suffered a series whitewash in this format were in 2014 when they lost 3-0 against Australia. Bangladesh, on the other hand, enjoyed a first three-match series sweep in this format for the first time since doing the same against Ireland in 2012. 

Mustafizur joined the 100-wicket club in his 81st match, eclipsing Shakib Al Hasan who reached the milestone in his 84th match. Malan had scored 53 off 47 deliveries.

Kohli, remarkably, raced to the magnificent milestone while batting at an average of 53.34. He is the only batter in the shortest format to average over 50 and reached the milestone in 115 matches. His achievement became even more special as he played the role of a sheet anchor in the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-finals vs England after India were put into bat.

Dawid Malan's 82 and disciplined bowling from England helped the visitors win the second Twenty20 international against Australia by eight runs Wednesday to seal the series and give them a confidence boost heading into the World Cup.

England captain Jos Buttler has declared himself fit for Sunday's opening Twenty20 International against Australia but Liam Livingstone's ankle injury makes the all-rounder doubtful for their World Cup opener later this month.

England's Phil Salt scored a blistering half-century as the visitors raced to an eight-wicket win over Pakistan in their sixth Twenty20 clash in Lahore on Friday to level the seven-match series at 3-3.
