The England cricket team has set a historic record of 498 runs in ODIs against the Netherlands.

In the England innings Jason Roy got out cheaply for 1 run. But the Billy Salt & David Malone duo demolished the Netherland bowlers.
They have put up a partnership of 222 runs for the second wicket. Salt was unbeaten on 122 off 93 balls. Then action player Jose Butler pulled the trigger. He scored a century in 47 balls.
Malone was then dismissed for 125 in the 45th over. Livingston, who came to pitch, started to smash the opponent’s bowling. In the end, England scored 498 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 50 overs.
This made England the team with the highest score in ODI cricket in 51 years of history. The England team had previously owned this record and England’s previous world record was 481 against Australia in 2018.
Jose Butler scored 162 off 70 balls. This includes 14 sixes and 7 fours. Livingston scored 66 off 22 balls with six sixes and six fours. England hit 26 sixes in this match and this set a record as the highest number of sixes scored by a team in ODIs.
In the chase, the Netherlands lost all their wickets and scored only 266 runs. England won the match by 232 runs.
Both teams play in an ODI series with 3 matches.

Kingswood College ends 68-year wait with historic victory
Kingswood College, Kandy, ended a 68-year wait with a historic triumph at the 119th Battle of the Maroons, defeating Dharmaraja College by 148 runs.
It was their first victory in the annual ‘Big Match’ since 1958, a moment that will be remembered as one of the school’s greatest cricketing achievements.
Kingswood set the tone with a first-innings total of 226 before dismissing Dharmaraja for 160 to secure a 66-run lead. In the second innings, a bold declaration at 248/4 left the Rajans chasing a steep target. The pressure proved too much, and Dharmaraja collapsed for 166, sealing Kingswood’s emphatic win.
The dominant performance brought the T.B. Tennakoon Trophy back to Randles Hill, ending nearly seven decades of anticipation and marking a new chapter in Kingswood’s cricketing legacy.

Naqvi: PCB to Take Action Against PSL Players Opting for IPL
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has vowed to enforce disciplinary measures against players who abandon the Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the last minute to join the Indian Premier League (IPL). With the two tournaments overlapping for a second consecutive year, tensions are rising over player commitments.
Sri Lanka’s Dasun Shanaka is the latest to withdraw, leaving Lahore Qalandars to join Rajasthan Royals as a replacement for the injured Sam Curran. Qalandars have named Australia’s Daniel Sams as Shanaka’s replacement. Earlier, Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani pulled out of the PSL after signing with Kolkata Knight Riders.
Naqvi made his stance clear:
“We will take action against those players according to the rules. There was a case last year too [Corbin Bosch, banned for one year], and the same thing will happen this time.”
Bosch, a diamond pick for Peshawar Zalmi, had switched late to Mumbai Indians in the IPL last season.
Despite the clash with the IPL, Naqvi insisted the PSL would not be rescheduled:
“Clashing with the IPL is not an issue because if players are going there, we’re getting excellent players coming here as well. We could not afford to postpone the PSL because we have no other window all year.”
Withdrawals and Scheduling Challenges
Several other players have also withdrawn from PSL 2026, including Gudakesh Motie, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Ottneil Baartman, and Spencer Johnson, though most cited personal reasons.
The PSL is scheduled to begin on March 26, just two days before the IPL kicks off. Due to an ongoing oil crisis linked to the West Asia conflict, Naqvi confirmed the tournament will be played behind closed doors. Venues have also been reduced from six to two: Lahore and Karachi.

Matheesha Pathirana Set for Delayed IPL 2026 Return
Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana is expected to miss the opening matches of the IPL 2026 season, with his return likely only around mid-April. The update was confirmed by Abhishek Nayar, head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders.
Pathirana has been sidelined due to a calf strain that also forced him out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 earlier this year. The young pacer managed to feature in just three matches during the global tournament before suffering the injury. He was visibly in discomfort and had to be assisted off the field during Sri Lanka’s clash against Australia.
Currently undergoing rehabilitation, Pathirana’s recovery is being closely monitored, with team management keen to ensure he regains full fitness before returning to competitive cricket. His absence will be a setback for Kolkata Knight Riders, given his reputation as a specialist death-over bowler with a unique sling action.
The franchise is expected to manage his workload carefully once he rejoins the squad, especially with a long tournament ahead. Pathirana’s return in the latter half of the competition could prove crucial as teams push for playoff positions.
For now, both Sri Lanka and KKR will be focused on his complete recovery, with hopes that the talented speedster will soon be back delivering his trademark yorkers on the big stage.
