LaLiga, Spain’s top-flight football competition, and Galaxy Racer, the Dubai-based transmedia multinational, have signed a 15-year joint venture to promote the league’s brand in the Middle East and North Africa region and Indian subcontinent.
Barcelona midfielder Miralem Pjanic has arrived in the UAE, where he is expected to finalise a deal with Adnoc Pro League side Sharjah.
India captain Rohit Sharma led from the front with an exciting 41-ball 72 before India stuttered to settle for 173 for eight against Sri Lanka in their Asia Cup Super Four match in Dubai on Tuesday. Rohit blazed away after India lost two early wickets, hitting five fours and four sixes during his entertaining knock. He was well supported by Suryakumar Yadav (34 off 29 balls) during a stand of 97 runs for the third wicket.
The match between India and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup saw one more final-over thriller as the Dasun Shanaka-led side continued their resurgence since their opening match defeat against Afghanistan. With Sri Lanka needing two runs off the final two deliveries in Dubai, Arshdeep Singh bowled a short slower ball that Shanaka could not get bat on. The Sri Lanka skipper, however, started to run for the single, with Bhanuka Rajapaksa steaming down to the striker's end. Rishabh Pant missed his throw at the stumps, meaning Rajapaksa could get in safe, but Arshdeep had a chance of running Shanaka out at the non-striker's end.
India find themselves on the brink of being knocked out the Asia Cup after defeats to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage. On Tuesday, Sri Lanka beat India by six wickets in Dubai to all but seal their berth in the final. India's batting lineup struggled against the Lankan bowlers, with Rohit Sharma's 41-ball 72 the standout performance. Except Rohit, only Suryakumar Yadav made a meaningful contribution, scoring 34 off 29. The team management also shuffled the batting order a little, sending Hardik Pandya out ahead of Rishabh Pant, who usually bats above the all-rounder.
Rohit Sharma played down concerns about India's form ahead of next month's T20 World Cup after successive Asia Cup defeats, insisting the dressing room atmosphere remained "relaxed and chilled". India lost their second Asia Cup Super Four match to Sri Lanka with a ball remaining in Dubai on Tuesday to leave their dwindling final hopes at the mercy of other results. "You don't worry if you lose two matches," Rohit, who smashed a 41-ball 72 in India's 173-8, told reporters. "We don't talk like this in the dressing room, because we have played so many matches after the (last) World Cup and won. I don't think it's a cause of worry."
Team India's hopes of making it to the final of the ongoing Asia Cup received a severe dent as the Rohit Sharma-led side stumbled to a six-wicket loss against Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage at the Dubai International Stadium. As a result of this defeat, India are now dependent on both Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in order to make the final. Both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan need to beat Pakistan and India needs to get the better of Afghanistan by a decent margin to make it to the final on the basis of a better net run rate.
Defending champions India went perilously close to elimination after a six-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka in their super four stage match of the Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The result left the Men in Blue at the mercy of the other teams to have a chance of making it to the final. It also meant that India skipper Rohit Sharma's scintillating 41-ball 72 went in vain, as the islanders completed a chase of 174 with a ball to spare. Needing 21 in 12 balls, Sri Lanka scored 14 runs off the penultimate over bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, almost sealing it in their favour.
