Cricket: Angelo Matthews exacted his revenge against Shakib Al Hasan when he dismissed the Bangladesh captain following the timed out controversy.
'Poetic justice' - Angelo exacts revenge | 00:39Steve Smith expects to face Afghanistan tonightdespite dealing with a bout of vertigo on the eve of Australia’s crucial World Cup clash that could book them a spot in the finals with a win.
The gifted batter has dealt with the condition in the past but is confident he will be fine to play, with all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Mitch Marsh also in line to return. Smith appeared to be in discomfort in the nets after dealing with symptoms following the recent win over England, seen kneeling and laying on the ground.Steve Smith of Australia is seen after he completed training during an Australian training session at Wankhede Stadium on November 06, 2023 in Mumbai, India. “I’ve had a bit of vertigo stuff the last day or so, it’s just been a bit annoying,” Smith said on Monday.“I’ve had a few episodes, so I can tell you it’s not the funnest space to be in.
Australia faces Afghanistan tonight and then Bangladesh on Saturday, with victory in either of those matches enough to book a top-four spot and a likely showdown with South Africa in the semi-final. Smith would like to get some quality time in the middle before then, with the right-hander struggling to make an impact on the World Cup with one score above 50 – an elegant 71 against the Netherlands.“I’ve been in the middle of a few partnerships that have helped build a foundation, but I definitely would have liked to have gone on with it a little bit more.“But I still feel like I’m hitting the ball quite well, so hopefully some runs at the back-end of the tournament.
