Tue Dec 17 13:49:15 UTC 2024: ## Cricket Roundup: India Trails, Gillespie’s Future Uncertain, and More
**JOHANNESBURG/LAHORE/KUWAIT** – A busy day in the world of cricket saw several key developments. India’s women’s cricket team finds itself trailing South Africa by 193 runs after four days of play. Meanwhile, South Africa’s women’s team requires 307 runs to win on day three. In shorter format action, Thunder secured a thrilling two-wicket victory with just two balls to spare, while Kuwait triumphed by six wickets with 24 balls remaining.
The future of Australian coach Jason Gillespie remains uncertain. While the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced he will remain head coach for upcoming South Africa Test matches, his contract has not been renewed beyond that. Gillespie expressed frustration over a lack of clear communication regarding his role. Aaqib Javed is slated to replace him as Pakistan’s head coach.
