Women's World T20: West Indies enter semis, knock India out of tournament
West indies win by 3 runs to enter semifinal, while India's campaign in the tournament ends.
Celebration in the WI camp. India, however, have been eliminated from the tournament. Dottin held her nerve, defending nine off the final over while taking two wickets, and the fourth ball led to a run out. Veda flickered briefly upfront, but West Indies' bowlers choked the chase of 115 with a volley of dots in the middle. The victory, though, was set up by forties from Taylor and Dottin. Mandhana gave India some hope, but tossed it away with an ill-advised late dab. Fletcher complemented Dottin well with two wickets.

Shahid Afridi Reconsidering Retirement From International Cricket
Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi will go back home before deciding whether to retire from international cricket after his team lost to Australia and were eliminated from the World Twenty20 on Friday.
Australia beat Pakistan by 21 runs in Mohali and Afridi, who had hinted before the game that retirement was imminent, said he has not yet made a final decision to call it quits.
"I'm going to go back home and in the next four-five days I will take a decision and whatever is better for the country, I will go with that. I think I will announce this in my country," the 36-year-old told reporters.
"As a player I'm fine but as a captain I'm not fit because it's not easy to handle the pressure, especially if you are playing for Pakistan... the expectation pressure, the media pressure, everything."

Pakistan vs. Australia 2016: Match Time and Prediction
With one semifinal place already taken by New Zealand and India closing
in on the other, Friday’s World Twenty20 contest between Pakistan and
Australia is almost do-or-die. For Pakistan, in what will be their final
game of Group 2, a win is the very least that is required to keep their
slim hopes alive. For Australia, a defeat wouldn’t spell the end, but
it would make things very complicated indeed going into their final
match two days later against India.
Prediction: Both teams have had their problems thus far, making it difficult to make any hard and fast predictions. However, while they can never be written off, Pakistan’s problems appear far more fundamental. For Australia, the talent, especially with the bat, is there, it is in large part a matter of finding the right blend. They should be good enough to see off Pakistan.

Pakistan Women under Sana Mir have the best chance to win ICC Women’s T20 2016
Pakistan Women’s captain Sana Mir has
always led from the front, and has turned the side into one of the most
formidable units in the world. Her off-spinners and useful contributions
with bat down the order have taken Pakistan a long way. They are one of
the firm favourites to win the ICC World T20 2016 and after beating
West Indies Women in their opening match, the team will surely be oozing
with confidence for the remaining matches. Sana has led Pakistan Women
in 62 Women’s T20Is out of a total of 64 matches since 2009. She has
lead Pakistan to great heights during her tenure as captain.
Sana led Pakistan to a Gold Medal in 2010 Asian Games. She not only flourished as a player, but she has let the others too come up the ranks. She is the eighth-ranked bowler in Women’s ODI ranking, and has consistently been in the top 20 of Women’s T20I rankings for the past nine years.
Sana Mir will be hopeful to lead Pakistan Women to a win the ICC Women World T20 2016.
