Sydney, Nov 1 (Ians) Sydney Sixers have re-signed England batsman James Vince for the upcoming Big Bash League (Bbl) season. Vince, who was a member of England's World Cup winning squad in 2019, will be back in magenta for the third straight season.
Vince played the second half of Bbl 8 as a replacement for fellow England international Joe Denly before offering a powerful hand for the Sixers at the top of the order as the Sydney Sixers surged to their second ever Bbl crown last season.
The 29-year-old again joins fellow Englishman Tom Curran at the Sixers and head coach Greg Shipperd said Vince brought a wealth of experience to his squad.
"James was an integral part of our winning squad and we welcome his keenness to continue his Bbl journey with us. He played an important role at the top of our order and provides on field guidance to our younger players,...

Dubai, Oct 31 (Ians/GloFans) Consecutive wins in their last two matches have given Rajasthan Royals (Rr) hope for qualifying for the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) and the Steve Smith-led team will aim to capitalise from the situation when they face a deflated Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) here on Sunday.
Both Rr (bet run rate -0.377) and Kkr (-0.467) have equal 12 points each from 13 games. However, it is Rr's superior net run-rate that gives them an edge. Rr will be looking for a big win to stay ahead in middle of the jam-packed table with every team, except Chennai Super Kings (Csk), still afloat.
Ben Stokes and Sanju Samson rediscovering their form has been the catalyst for Rr in their recent matches while skipper Smith, Robin Uthappa, and Jos Buttler were also handy with the bat in their game against Kings XI Punjab.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 31 (Ians) Jofra Archer has been the lone ranger in Rajasthan Royals' (Rr) pace attack, with statistics revealing not just his brilliance but also a lack of depth in support for him.
The English pace bowler is Rr's leading wicket-taker this season with 19 scalps. The rest of the fast bowlers in Rr's squad have taken those many wickets combined.
The collective haul of Ben Stokes, Kartik Tyagi, Jaydev Unadkat, Tom Curran, Ankit Rajpoot and Andrew Tye is 19 wickets. Varun Aaron hasn't taken a wicket in the two games he has played.
While Archer has used 51.4 overs to get his wickets, the rest of the Rr pace bowlers have used up 114.2 overs to get those many wickets.
Archer's economy rate has been just 6.69 runs per over whereas the combined economy rate of the rest of the pacers has been 10.5.
Even the collective haul of Rr's most successful spinners,...

Abu Dhabi, Oct 29 (Ians/GloFans) With five wins on the trot, a rejuvenated Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) will look to further boost their playoff hopes when they face Rajasthan Royals (Rr) in the 50th match of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) on Friday.
While Kxip (12 points) have turned it around after going on a dismal run in the first half of the season, Rr (10 points) have been wildly inconsistent in the latter half of the season and desperately need a win to be alive in the race for the playoffs season at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
Kxip captain Kl Rahul (595 runs from 12 matches) has been leading the batting from the front and has received good support from his opening partner Mayank Agarwal, who missed last two games due to bruised knee.
