Rohit, Boult star as Mumbai surge into IPL top four
HYDERABAD: Star batsman Rohit Sharma smashed 76 and pace bowler Trent Boult claimed 4-26 as Mumbai Indians thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad to move up to third in the IPL table on Wednesday. New Zealand’s Boult, a left-arm quick, and fellow pace bowler Deepak Chahar ripped apart the top of Hyderabad’s batting order as they collapsed to 35-5 before managing 143-8. Five-time champions Mumbai achieved their target with 26 balls and seven wickets to spare after Rohit registered his second successive half-century, smacking eight fours and three sixes in his 46-ball knock to lead the chase. But the 35-year-old Boult set up victory with his two early wickets and was named player of the match. “I still love the feeling of competing and getting wickets,” said Boult, who retired from international cricket in 2024. “It’s a huge tournament, there are hundreds of thousands of bowlers who’d love to do what we’re doing so it’s about not taking it for granted.” It was Mumbai’s fourth straight win and a victory that propelled them three spots from sixth in the 10-team table led by Gujarat Titans. Hyderabad, who are captained by Australia’s Pat Cummins, slumped to their sixth loss in eight matches. “We have a few away games now, it will be about assessing each wicket as quickly as possible,” said Cummins.

Champions League spot would be ‘Premier League trophy’ for Man City: Nunes
LONDON: Matheus Nunes says Champions League qualification would be Manchester City’s “Premier League trophy” after a poor campaign by their stellar standards. The Portugal international scored a last-gasp winner against Aston Villa on Tuesday to lift Pep Guardiola’s men to third in the table, four points ahead of seventh-placed Villa. With Liverpool on the brink of the Premier League title and Arsenal sitting comfortably in second place, five clubs are battling for the three remaining places in Europe’s top club competition next season. Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Chelsea are the other sides in the mix for a top-five finish. City, who were hunting a fifth straight league title at the start of the season, suffered a costly collapse in form from late October. But they can still end their season on a high, with Sunday’s FA Cup semifinal against Forest at Wembley coming hot on the heels of their vital win against Unai Emery’s Villa. “This is our Premier League trophy now, to qualify for the Champions League,” Nunes said after scoring his first league goal for City in his second season at the club. “I think it’s massively important for us, in terms of everything, the club, in terms of the players, the mentality.” The 26-year-old admitted though that Champions League qualification for the 15th season running and FA Cup glory would not equal a good campaign. “The club’s standards are much higher than this,” he said. “We know that there is not the standards we want this club to be at. “But this is our reality now and we have to accept it.
Matheus Nunes: Champions League spot is City’s ‘Premier League trophy’ this term
Matheus Nunes says Champions League qualification is Manchester City’s “Premier League trophy” right now, but Tuesday’s matchwinner knows a top-five finish and FA Cup glory would not make this season a success.
