SRI LANKA WOMEN TOUR OF PAKISTAN by Cricbuzz Staff • Published on Share Tweet Ayesha Naseem top-scored for Pakistan with 45 © Getty An allround bowling effort from Pakistan downed Sri Lanka in a second-successive low-scorer in Karachi. The home side chased down Sri Lanka's lowly 102 for 6 with 7 wickets and 17 balls to spare. Opting to bat again, Sri Lanka made a nightmarish start when captain Chamari Athapaththu fell in the third over. Number three batter Oshadi Ranasinghe followed suit for a 12-ball eight in the eighth over. Sri Lanka navigated out of the early dents with a semblance of partnership between Hasini Perera and Nilakshi de Silva. But that too lasted only as far as the 14th over when Tuba Hasasn saw the back of opener Perera. Harshitha Madavi attempted to stitch another stand with Nilakshi but that was also only worth 28 runs before she was dismissed. With that Sri Lanka went down to 90 for 4 in the 19th … [Read more...] about Pakistan women double their lead in another low-scorer

New Delhi: Rajat Patidar created history on Wednesday when he became the first uncapped player to slam a century in the Indian Premier League Playoffs. Patidar went unsold in the IPL auction initially but then came on as a replacement for Luvnith Sisodia. The rest we all know now is history. Patidar plays his first-class cricket for Madhya Pradesh and always wanted to be a cricketer as he turned down his family business to pursue his passion. He always wanted to play cricket and his interest towards his family business was last. He just loved playing and the good part was that he never shied away from working hard,” MP pacer Ishwar Pandey told Indian Express. “Rajat sankat-mochan hai hamare team ka [Rajat is the problem-solver (another name for Lord Hanuman) of our team]. He has played such kind of innings before but as none came on TV, people didn’t know about him earlier. Now that he has scored (on Wednesday night), he has certainly become the Hanuman of RCB,” he added. … [Read more...] about IPL 2022: Rejecting Family Business to Becoming RCB Superstar: Journey of ‘Unsold’ Rajat Patidar

Getty Images Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing war between the two nations has affected sports heavily. A number of tournaments and governing bodies have imposed sweeping bans on Russian and Belarusian players -- chief among them being Wimbledon .

Here's what he said: "On the one hand, I can understand (the decision) and, on the other, I find it unfair. This is a delicate situation because it sets a precedent and puts other sports competitions in an uncomfortable position. Where is the line? What are the rules that should lead to a possible exclusion?" Medvedev noted that under the law, tennis players … [Read more...] about Daniil Medvedev breaks silence on Wimbledon banning Russian and Belarusian players

ROME (AP) — Marcell Jacobs already won another gold medal at the world indoors. He’ll likely get a huge reception at Rome’s upcoming Diamond League meet. Then a reunion with his once-estranged father at the world championships. Followed by more potential medals at the European championships. And, to top it all off, a wedding in September. If last year — when Jacobs sprinted from virtual unknown to Olympic 100m champion and then added another surprising gold at the Tokyo Games with Italy’s 4x100m relay team — proved remarkable for the Texas-born runner, 2022 could be even more memorable. For all those who thought Jacobs was just a one-hit wonder — and there were plenty of naysayers — the Italian has other plans. “Winning these next two big events would mean winning everything there is to win in athletics,” Jacobs told The Associated Press in an interview at his Rome training base this week. “But I’ve got a huge target on my back wherever I go now — everyone wants to beat me. … [Read more...] about Marcell Jacobs’ Olympic gold to be followed by first race in front of father

Duke Blue Devils guard Trevor Keels entered his name into the 2022 NBA Draft, and completed the pre-draft process. Now, Keels has until June 1 to officially decide whether he will proceed with the draft or return to Duke for a sophomore season. Last season, in 36 games and 26 starts, Keels averaged 11.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Prior to Duke, Keels was a 247Sports Composite five-star recruit out of Fairfax (Va.) Paul VI Catholic. He was also the No. 23 ranked overall player and the No. 3 ranked shooting guard in the recruiting class of 2021. In a recent article by CBS Sports, reporter Kyle Boone made the case that Keels would be better off returning to Duke for another season rather than trying his luck in the NBA. “With Keels, my sense is that he is more likely to leave school than not,” Boone wrote . “But my read on his draft prospects is that he'd benefit more by another year in college and potentially reap significant financial … [Read more...] about Duke basketball: Trevor Keels should withdraw from 2022 NBA Draft, per CBS Sports

Alabama head coach Nick Saban caused quite a stir Wednesday evening with his public claims that Texas A&M bought its entire No. 1-ranked, according to the 247Sports Composite, 2022 recruiting class . Those comments did not sit well with Jimbo Fisher , who called a press conference Thursday morning and delivered a fiery rant in which called Saban a “narcissist,” said that he did not want to be associated with him anymore and that the two were “done.” Paul Finebaum addressed the situation between the two head coaches during his radio show Thursday afternoon. The SEC Network host said he supports Fisher’s decision to respond, claiming that Saban left him no choice. “Did Jimbo overshoot the runway? Maybe,” Finebaum said. “But he had to respond. Nick Saban said, point blank, he bought every player in the class. Is Jimbo supposed to roll over and say, ‘Thank you, sir. May I have another?’” Finebaum noted that Fisher’s comments have only garnered the coach more support … [Read more...] about Paul Finebaum supports Jimbo Fisher firing back at Nick Saban: ‘He had to respond’
