Australia will be looking to inch closer to win in the first Test vs West Indies in the last day at Perth. Thr only obstacle in front of them will be the West Indian opener Kraigg Brathwaite. He completed a century already and has looked the best batter on the job from the visiting team. All that Brathwaite needs is some support from the other end to pull off  a draw as a win from here would only be a miracle and well all know that miracles don't take place so frequently. Up against them will be the quartet of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon which will be very difficult to cross.

In the other Test happening at Rawalpindi in Pakistan, the hosts are trailing by 158 runs. The Day 4 will see Agha Salman and Zahid Mahmood resume Pakistan innings from 499/7. There were 3 centurions for Pakistan too on the third day of the Test match in Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq and captain Babar Azam. Pakistan will aim to bat as many overs as possible on Day 4 to ensure the draw is on. 

In Abu Dhabi T10 League, the third place playoff will be played between Team Abu Dhabi and Morrisville Samp Army. The final will also be played today between New York Strikers and Deccan Gladiators. Two PKL matches are to be played today. First match is between U Mumba and Gujarat Giants. The second match will be played between Bengaluru Bulls and UP Yoddhas.

LIVE India vs Bangladesh: Fans recall 'LAGAN' as KL Rahul drops easy catch

They say 'Catches win you matches' and that could not have been more true in the game between India and Bangladesh's 1st ODI at Dhaka on Sunday. India were cruising towards victory with just one wicket to get. Bangladesh were 41 runs away from the victory and all India needed was a good ball and they bowled as well but it takes a team effort to win the match and KL Rahul failed to do that with the gloves in hand as he dropped a crucial catch of Mehidy Hasan Miraz who went on to win the game for Bangladesh single-handedly. India were pretty poor on the field in today's match but KL Rahul's drop catch grabbed all the attention.

LIVE India vs Bangladesh: Blame Game in Indian camp

India skipper Rohit Sharma firmly admitted that his side were let down by their efforts with the bat in their one-wicket loss to Bangladesh in the first ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, saying another 30 to 40 runs could have made a difference. Despite having a line-up in which batting resources were available till No.9, India had a disappointing time with the bat on a slow pitch, being bundled out for a paltry 186 in 41.2 overs as Shakib Al Hasan used his line, length, and the crease well to pick 5 for 36 while Ebadot Hossain was consistent in his usage of short balls to scalp 4 for 47.
