Glenn Maxwell Hits Epic Double Ton As Australia Break Afghanistan Hearts
Glenn Maxwell's stunning 201 not out guided Australia into the semi-finals of the World Cup as the five-time champions snatched a sensational three-wicket victory from the jaws of defeat against Afghanistan in Mumbai on Tuesday. At 91-7, chasing 292, Australia were all set to join title-holders England, 1996 champions Pakistan and 1992 winners Sri Lanka as yet another notable Afghanistan scalp at this World Cup. Crucially, however, recalled all-rounder Maxwell was dropped soon afterwards on 33 when Mujeeb Ur Rahman somehow floored a simple chance at short fine leg off fellow spinner Noor Ahmad.
'Never Underestimate A Wounded Buffalo': Netherlands Coach On England Clash In Cricket World Cup 2023
The Netherlands have prepared for the "best England possible", Dutch assistant coach Ryan van Niekerk said of their World Cup clash against the demoralised defending champions. England have lost six of their seven matches in a disastrous title defence and play the giant-killing Dutch at Pune on Wednesday. It's the penultimate match for both teams and the Netherlands, who stunned South Africa and Bangladesh in the tournament, still rate their opponents with respect. "England are world champions. So, I think they would do what's necessary. They've prepared just as much," Van Niekerk told reporters. "In South Africa, where I'm from, there's a famous saying of never underestimate a wounded buffalo. So, I think we sit in a position where England's one of the best teams in the world."

Indian Women's Hockey Team Reclaims Best-Ever 6th Position In World Rankings
The Indian women's hockey team has reclaimed its best-ever sixth place ranking in the world following its stupendous show in the just-concluded Asian Champions Trophy and the Hangzhou Asian Games.

What's Gone Wrong For Erik Ten Hag At Manchester United?
Manchester United are in desperate need of a win at FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday as they battle to avoid an embarrassing group-stage exit. The three-time European champions sneaked past the Danish side 1-0 at Old Trafford last month thanks to a last-gasp penalty save from goalkeeper Andre Onana. Heavy defeats by Manchester City and Newcastle have since ramped up the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag, which was only eased slightly by a 1-0 win at Fulham on Saturday.
Jackson treble fires Chelsea to chaotic victory over nine-man Spurs
LONDON: Chelsea ended nine-man Tottenham’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season as Nicolas Jackson’s hat-trick inspired a 4-1 win in a chaotic clash filled with VAR drama on Monday. Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino was able to savour a sweet victory over Tottenham on his first return to the club since his sacking in 2019. But the Argentine’s revenge mission was overshadowed by an incredible litany of controversial incidents including red cards for Tottenham duo Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie. Dejan Kulusevski had given Tottenham an early lead, but Romero was dismissed for a foul that led to Cole Palmer’s equalizer from the penalty spot before half-time. Referee Michael Oliver and the over-worked VAR officials sent off Udogie soon after the break for his second booking. Both teams had goals disallowed by VAR, while Tottenham’s misfortune also included losing England playmaker James Maddison and Dutch defender Micky van de Ven to first-half injuries. Chelsea finally made the most of their numerical advantage when Senegal striker Jackson netted three times in the closing stages to hand Tottenham their first defeat in 11 league games. Ange Postecoglou’s team remain in second place, one point behind leaders Manchester City, while Chelsea moved up to 10th place after their first win in three league games. “There will be a forensic study of every decision out there, I think that is the way the game is going and I don’t like it,” Postecoglou said. “If you look at all that standing around we did today, maybe people enjoy that sort of thing but I’d rather see us playing football.” Pochettino was given a largely warm reception by Tottenham fans in recognition of a five-year reign that included taking them to their maiden
