So we are not thinking about this rivalry or whatever. So we are playing against one team, and we are just focusing on cricket. So whenever I am playing, I am not thinking about what others think. I don’t know. But I treat it as a one match and opponent. So I’m not thinking about any rivalry or whatever. So the opposition came to …

Will Jacks, who put in a Player of the match performance making 39 runs with the bat and claiming 1/17 in two overs, admitted he was “very nervous” as the game went down to the wire, but trusted Sam Curran to deliver under pressure. “I was very nervous – extremely nervous. My heart was thumping. But I had confidence in Sam Curran. He’s defended situations like that before, and he did it brilliantly again today. His yorkers were excellent, and he executed under pressure,” Jacks said at the post-match press conference. The match ebbed and flowed throughout, with momentum swinging repeatedly. England appeared in control …

India lift record-extending sixth Under-19 World Cup title after thumping England by 100 runs in final

3 min readFeb 6, 2026 08:21 PM IST In what was a complete domination in Harare, the India U19 side thumped England in the ICC 2026 Under-19 World Cup final to clinch their record-extending sixth title. Powered by batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 80-ball 175 in the first innings and then a comprehensive bowling performance, the Boys in Blue handed the Three Lions a crushing 100-run loss in what was India’s 10th U19 World Cup final on Friday. Chasing a record high total of 412, England, after a positive start, crumbled in the middle phase, where India picked quick wickets, putting the English side in backfoot. Then, it was a lone fight waged by Caleb Falconer, who struck an entertaining century, but England were eventually bundled out for 311 in 40.1 overs. This is India’s sixth U19 World Cup title, having previously won on five occasions in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2018 and 2022. Earlier in the first innings, batting prodigy Sooryavanshi played arguably the most dominant knock in the history of the U19 World Cup, his …

Published by Webster

India started their campaign at the 2025 Women’s Kabaddi World Cup with a thumping win over Thailand in Mirpur, Bangladesh on Tuesday. The defending champions started their campaign in style, taking down their lesser fashioned opponents 65-20. The 2025 Women’s Kabaddi World Cup commenced on Monday. The tournament was earlier slated to be hosted in Rajgir, Bihar and was later relocated to Hyderabad. The tournament was then shifted to Mirpur after multiple postponements in India.

It is also the first time in 13 years that the a Kabaddi World Cup for women is being hosted.

Having beaten Thailand, India are now slated to face Bangladesh (19 November), Germany (20 November), and Uganda (21 November) in their Group A fixtures over the next two days. A …

India A vs Pakistan Shaheens Highlights: Batting collapse, angry sendoff, umpiring drama as India A suffer thumping defeat in Asia Cup Rising Stars | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

When Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Naman Dhir were in the middle, India A appeared to be heading to another big score, even if not at the rate they were against UAE a couple of days back. But after Naman fell in the 9th over and Vaibhav followed him in the 10th, India A went from 91/2 to 136 all out against Pakistan A in the Rising Stars Asia Cup tournament in Doha. That collapse proved decisive as Pakistan A cruised past the finish line in just 13.2 overs, riding on an unbeaten 79 from left-handed opener Maaz Sadaqat, who had also picked up a couple of wickets earlier. India’s pacers couldn’t cause early dents in the defence, leaking boundaries and extras as Jitesh Sharma-led India suffered a heavy defeat. Maaz Sadaqat was involved in the bizarre incident of the catch being given a dot ball. (PHOTO: ACC via X) In India’s defence, there was a moment of controversy at the start of 9th over after the TV umpire ruled not out over a relay catch at …

File image of Ralph Hasenhuettl© X (Twitter) Bundesliga side Wolfsburg on Sunday sacked manager Ralph Hasenhuettl, a day after a 4-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund. Wolfsburg issued a statement saying the club decided to terminate the Austrian’s contract due to “results in the recent months”. Wolfsburg have lost six of their past eight games and have won just twice since January. In contention for European football earlier in the season, Wolfsburg have slid to 12th on the table.  Hasenhuettl took over from former coach and current Dortmund boss Niko Kovac in March 2024, after a four-year stint at Premier League side Southampton.

Synopsis: Axar Patel leads from the front with all-round display, KL Rahul makes a statement on return to Lucknow as DC outplay LSG in a comfortable 8-wicket win On a night filled with narratives at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, it was Delhi Capitals who prevailed by 8 wickets in a run-chase of 160, reestablishing their credentials as contenders for the title this season. KL Rahul, returning to Lucknow for the first time since his less-than-friendly release from the franchise, hit a statement six to finish off the match, once again remaining unbeaten in a run-chase with a 42-ball 57. Axar leads from the front LSG and DC both lost their second wicket in the 12th over of their respective innings. When a well-set Abishek Porel fell, Axar Patel walked in. There really wasn’t any real pressure on DC at this stage but a couple of wickets, and with new batters needing time to settle in, it could have gotten tricky. After four dot balls against Avesh Khan, Axar wasted little time to make an …

Bayern Munich Close In On Bundesliga Title With Heidenheim Thumping

Published by Webster

Harry Kane scored his 24th league goal of the season as Bayern Munich romped to a 4-0 win at Heidenheim on Saturday, moving the German giants ever closer to the Bundesliga title. Kane joined Konrad Laimer, Kingsley Coman and Joshua Kimmich on the scoresheet. The victory took Bayern nine points clear of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who play at St Pauli on Sunday. “It was a very important step towards the title,” Kimmich told Sky Germany. “We’re now nine points ahead — and Leverkusen have to win. But we’re not really looking at them. We have to win at least two more games to secure the title.” Stung by Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final elimination at Inter Milan, Bayern were ruthless. Kane, still seeking a first team trophy of his career, took the ball on the turn and lashed home with 12 minutes gone.  The England captain, who joined Bayern in the summer of 2023, now has 60 goals in his first 60 Bundesliga games. Seven minutes later, Laimer latched onto a clever Serge Gnabry …
