Sanat Sangwan’s hundred save Delhi from blushes against arch-rivals Mumbai

Sanat Sangwan’s hundred save Delhi from blushes against arch-rivals Mumbai

Published by Parlour News

4 min readMumbaiJan 29, 2026 06:23 PM IST Delhi batsman Sanat Sangwan idolises Virat Kohli. It’s evident in his looks. He spots a neatly-trimmed, tapered beard like Kohli. He wears an ear-stud and he walks with a confident demeanour like the former Indian captain, only that he bats left-handed. He also emerges as the team’s crisis man. Against Mumbai, in the final round of the Ranji Trophy group stage, he scored a defiant hundred to help the visitors put on a competitive total on a surface that assists seamer in the first session. His 118 off 218 balls helped Delhi post 221, in reply to which Mumbai have already found themselves in a spot of bother at 13 for 1. The gritty Sangwan accounted for more than half of the runs in a shoddy batting performance where the next highest score was Pravan Rajvanshi’s 39 and with seven batsmen failing for single-digit scores. Mumbai tested his patience early on, but he survived the tricky phase and batted deep into the day. With Delhi’s score on …

Perth Scorchers secure record-extending 6th BBL title after crushing arch-rivals Sydney Sixers in final

Published by Webster

Perth Scorchers continued their dominance and further cemented their legacy by defeating arch-rivals Sydney Sixers in the 2025-26 Big Bash League (BBL) final, claiming a record-extending sixth BBL title in front of their home crowd at Perth’s Optus Stadium on Sunday. Murphy’s Law played out for the Sixers, for whom nothing went their way in the final. After losing the toss, Moises Henriques’ side was invited to bat first by Scorchers captain Mitchell Marsh. The Sixers managed an underwhelming 132 in their 20 overs. Scorchers’ Jhye Richardson and David Payne were the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets each to bundle out the Sixers for an under-par total in Perth. Scorchers’ openers Marsh and Finn Allen stitched together 80 runs for the first wicket, and the Men in Orange had little trouble chasing down the total and won the game by six wickets with 15 balls to spare to lift the trophy. The Scorchers were clearly the best side in BBL 2025-26, having finished at the top of the points table with 14 points …

Ajax Edge Closer To 37th Eredivisie Title, Beat Arch-Rivals PSV Eindhoven 2-0

Ajax Edge Closer To 37th Eredivisie Title, Beat Arch-Rivals PSV Eindhoven 2-0

Published by Webster

Ajax players celebrate vs PSV© AFC Ajax Ajax won 2-0 at arch-rivals PSV Eindhoven on Sunday, taking the Amsterdam giants one step closer to a 37th Dutch league title. Goals either side of half-time from Davy Klaassen and Bertrand Traore continued Ajax’s unbeaten run in the Eredivisie that dates back to early December. Francesco Farioli’s side now sit nine points clear of second-placed and defending champions PSV, and 15 clear of third-placed Utrecht. The 35-year-old Italian coach arrived in July 2024 to turn the page on a horrific season for Ajax, who finished 35 points adrift of PSV after being bottom of the table for several weeks — a first in the history of the Netherlands’ most successful club. This season, Ajax were eliminated from the Europa League after losing twice to Eintracht Frankfurt in the last 16.

Argentina secures World Cup spot even before drubbing arch-rivals Brazil 4-1 in World Cup qualifying

Argentina secures World Cup spot even before drubbing arch-rivals Brazil 4-1 in World Cup qualifying

Published by Webster

Despite missing their talisman Lionel Messi, Argentina thrashed arch-rivals Brazil 4-1 in a World Cup qualifying encounter that had some edge to it, especially after Brazil’s Raphinha had bragged about beating the world champions “on and off the field if they needed to” before the game started. What made the victory sweeter for Argentina was that they also qualified for the FIFA World Cup in 2026, which will be co-hosted next year by the US, Canada and Mexico, before the match against Brazil even kicked off! Argentina’s qualification happened because of Bolivia’s failure to beat Uruguay in another World Cup qualifying game. That result meant that Argentina will now easily breeze through in South American qualifying to secure one of the continent’s six direct spots for the expanded 48-team World Cup. Argentina were 2-0 up in just 12 minutes. Julián Álvarez, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister and Giuliano Simeone scored for the reigning world champions on the night. Brazil got one back via Matheus Cunha. Coach Lionel Scaloni has not used Messi, who is 37 …
