Bavuma: Bowlers’ class shines through in first win of tournament

Dubai, October 26, 2021 (PPI-OT):He added: “Bowling has been our strength over the last couple of months and that’s largely due to the tactics we have employed but most importantly them executing as well as they did.

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma praised his bowlers’ class after an eight-wicket win over the West Indies got their Super 12s campaign up and running.

The Proteas lost to Australia by five wickets first time out after posting an under-par 118 for nine but at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Bavuma elected to insert the West Indies.

Anrich Nortje won Player of the Match award for a frugal spell of pace bowling which left him with figures of one for 14 off four overs, while Dwaine Pretorius took three for 17 after bowling the 18th and 20th overs as West Indies posted 143 for eight.

Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen then shared an unbeaten partnership of 83 from 57 balls to seal their side’s first victory of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 with ten balls to spare.

“I’m obviously ecstatic, that was the plan to come and get a win to get our campaign started,” said Bavuma.

“After the last game we knew there were areas we had to improve in our game, particularly with the bat we had to be more clinical and it’s a step in the right direction.

“Winning the toss and electing to bowl it was our plan to restrict them as much as you can, our bowlers have been fantastic over the last while and again they showed their skill and their class.

“It was a good day out with the ball and also in the field as fielders.”

Bavuma was delighted with how his bowlers executed the game plan against the West Indies and will be hoping they continue their fine performances into their next fixture against Sri Lanka on Saturday.

He added: “Bowling has been our strength over the last couple of months and that’s largely due to the tactics we have employed but most importantly them executing as well as they did.

“Today was another example of that and the confidence we have in our bowling attack.”

West Indies captain Kieron Pollard revealed he thought his side were 20 to 25 runs short as they slipped to their second consecutive convincing defeat after a six-wicket reverse to England on Sunday.

He said: “I’m obviously disappointed and I thought we left 20 to 25 runs out there when we batted and that could have made a difference in terms of how we finished off because we got off to a pretty decent start in terms of getting 40-odd without losing a wicket in the powerplay.

“That was our opportunity to try and step our foot on the gas a bit, rotate the strike a bit more and try to get to that 160 but it didn’t happen, and we got 143.

“Over the last couple of games, we have lost too many wickets so it’s give and take, we didn’t lose any wickets in the powerplay but today I thought we got a bit stuck in the middle overs.

“Then we tried to up the ante, but it is always going to be difficult with new guys coming into bat.”

Pollard called on his team, especially the batting unit, to “dig deeper” if they are going to win their final three games against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Australia to progress to the semi-finals.

He added: “We have to do what it takes; we have to dig deeper as a team and a batting unit, we have to hold our heads up and try to play a good game of cricket.

“We have to get wins on the board now. We have a pretty low net run rate, and we haven’t won any games, so we have to win the next three games but take it one at a time and try to improve every time.”

Buttler: No room for mistakes against Bangladesh

Dubai, October 26, 2021 (PPI-OT):England wicket-keeper Jos Buttler insisted there is no room for mistakes against Bangladesh despite a convincing opening victory over the West Indies.

Eoin Morgan’s side strolled to a six-wicket win in their Super 12s opener after bundling their opponents out for just 55 in a stunning bowling performance.

Despite seeing four wickets go down at the other end in reply, opener Buttler made an unbeaten 24 off 22 deliveries to see England home with 70 balls to spare, in a massive boost to their net run rate, and the vice-captain is eager to keep the winning momentum going on Wednesday at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

“Winning momentum is vital, isn’t it? Sort of the way the tournament is set out; there’s not much room for mistakes,” said the 31-year-old.

“The beauty of T20 cricket is anyone can beat anyone on their day, and an individual can win a match for their team.

“But no, we prepare well and we are a very level team, don’t get too high, don’t get too low and we’ll try to bring our level of intensity which always brings our best level to the game.”

Incredibly, England and Bangladesh have never met in an T20I before, but Buttler is adamant there will not be any nasty surprises in store.

He added: “Yeah, we know the challenges we’ll face. We’ve played against them lots in 50-over cricket. We know they are a dangerous side.

“They have got a lot of experience in T20 cricket as well, some very good players playing quite a specific style that is quite unique to them I feel as well.

“We focus obviously and try to plan for the opposition but at the same time we are focusing on ourselves, trying to get our level of intensity to the place it needs to be.

“I think we feel confident as a group that when we get that right, no matter who we play against, it’s going to give us the best chance of success.

“We have plans as we need to but we focus a lot on ourselves.”

Bangladesh’s fast-bowling coach Ottis Gibson urged his side not to panic against England’s powerful white-ball side led by Morgan who has inspired a fearless brand of cricket in recent years.

Gibson has had two stints in charge of England’s seam ranks and is well versed in the threats that Chris Silverwood’s side will bring.

He said: “I think Eoin Morgan was crucial to sort of the way that England started to play white-ball cricket.

“They’ve picked obviously different players compared to 2015, and the brand of cricket that they play, they’re positive all the time. They’re going to take the positive option.

“So, I’ve spoken to our bowlers and our batsmen, England bowlers are looking to take wickets all the time, and England batters are looking to score runs all the time and put bowlers under pressure.

The message is not to panic, understand that you are going to get hit. You might bowl a good ball and get hit because that’s their mentality, but they also give you opportunities to take wickets.

“So, we must be calm. We must try and execute our skills plans. And when those opportunities come, we must take those opportunities of course, but the one thing we must remain as a bowling group is calm and very considered in how we approach every ball that we bowl.”

Reaching Super 12s my biggest achievement, says captain Erasmus

Dubai, October 26, 2021 (PPI-OT):Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus said that guiding his side to the Super 12s is the biggest achievement the Eagles have achieved under his leadership.

Erasmus made 53 not out as Namibia beat Ireland in their final match of Group A to advance on their maiden ICC Men’s T20 World Cup appearance.

His side now face Scotland in their Group 2 opener and Erasmus is looking forward to the challenges Namibia will face.

“Obviously as the captain of the team, it has to be right up there since it’s the biggest achievement under my leadership,” he said.

“As a player as well, I’m very excited to rub shoulders with the best in the world.

“Over the next week, we’re going to have to up our level and get into this challenge with all of our energy, but we’re ready to do that.”

Erasmus also called on all his team to play their part in Namibia’s success after David Wiese delivered two unbeaten performances with the bat as Namibia secured qualification to the Super 12s.

“David has had an excellent tournament for us although I don’t think we’ve quite fired as a team as a whole,” Erasmus said.

“So that’s great to know that there’s some potential sitting in the dugout still that has to come right sometime in the tournament.

“We’ll be looking to tap into the resources of each and every individual on the team, not only a few of the guys.

“There’s lots of guys that still need to prove themselves or want to prove themselves, get runs, get some wickets. I believe they can do it. We have full confidence in every guy we select on the day.”

For Scotland, they are having to regroup after a heavy defeat to Afghanistan yesterday, with wicketkeeper-batter Matthew Cross saying the side are fully focused on the Namibian challenge ahead of them.

“I don’t think it dents our confidence in the slightest, these kinds of performances can happen,” Cross said.

“At the same time, we’ve got to move on. We’ve got four big games to try to put hopefully another full member win on the board and a win against Namibia tomorrow.

“Namibia are a very good team. I actually said before the World Cup started, I expected them to go through. I’m pleased that they did.

“They’ve got everything covered, they’ve got experience, they’ve got a really, really good fielding unit and very tidy bowling.

“We know enough about them. We’ve played against them three or four times in the last three years now. There’s no real surprises, but at the same time, we do expect to go out there and win.

“It’s always challenging being a keeper. We’ve been out here for a long time now, so there’s no challenges we’re not ready for.

“Obviously, moving to a different ground tomorrow, we’ve got to adapt pretty quickly, but that’s the same for every team. Hopefully, we’ll adapt quicker than Namibia.”

Crocus Technology Expands High Precision Portfolio of Isolated Current Sensors over Industrial and Automotive Temperature Ranges

The CT425 family of XtremeSense® TMR products offers high accuracy isolated current sensing with Common Mode Field Rejection at 1 MHz bandwidth

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Crocus Technology Inc., the leading supplier of disruptive Tunnel Magneto-Resistance XtremeSense® sensors, today announces the CT425, CT426, CT427 and CT428 isolated current sensors with <1% total error over the full operating temperature range without sacrificing accuracy or bandwidth. The high-speed operation and accurate output allow customers to optimize system design for smaller size and higher efficiency.

The CT42x with less than 300 ns response time greatly simplifies the solution in EV Charging applications which are utilizing GaN (Gallium Nitride) or SiC (Silicon Carbide) transistors to improve power density. Likewise, the CT42x offers improvements in terms of performance and size compared to the classic isolated current sense solutions which utilize a shunt resistor, amplifier, and digital isolator to sense the voltage and convert this signal into a current measurement. The CT42x directly senses the flow of current through the package avoiding errors in conversion and provides inherently faster and more accurate measurements. With industry leading response time of 300 ns, high power architectures like the CCM Totem-Pole PFC can provide higher power density solutions. The fast switching frequency of Wide Bandgap (WBG) power devices requires a current sensor that can detect fast transients to prevent potential cascading failures. The integration in a space saving SOIC-8 package also reduces the total PCB footprint size by up to 8 times smaller compared to existing solutions.

The CT42x has robust built-in immunity to common-mode fields which allows the device to reject greater than 99% of external stray magnetic fields without the need for external shielding while maintaining <1% total accuracy. Crocus’ proprietary TMR technology inherently offers a very high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which allows for high resolution measurements required for precision control or monitoring applications.

“The expansion of this product family brings more options to our customers to experience the high precision performance of our XtremeSense TMR products in more demanding applications,” states Zack Deiri, President and CEO of Crocus Technology. “Previously our customers would select products that offered them good performance on one parameter over temperature and then they would adjust their design to compensate for the other parameters. With Crocus products they are finding they can achieve high precision and high bandwidth offering them a comprehensive high performance solution.”
