NFL preseason Week 3 betting takeaways -- Rolling with the Texans, fading Tampa Bay, sleeping on Seattle

What were you doing in the summer of 2015? The Golden State Warriors had just won their first NBA title, the Seattle Seahawks were still complaining about Malcolm Butler's Super Bowl interception, and the Kansas City Royals were gearing up for their World Series title. That is when John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens last lost a preseason game. Their inexplicable win streak reached 23 games on Saturday, thanks to a defensive stand against Sam Howell and the Washington Commanders. Yes, there were no-names roaming around but their ability to keep churning out victories does say something. No one has put an exact finger on what exactly it says but we do know it does resonate — especially with bettors. The 17-15 Baltimore victory means the ATS run drops to 20-3 but it's still another win.

Asia Cup 2022: Experts praise Pakistan team after narrow loss to India

Asia Cup 2022, India vs Pakistan: How teenager Naseem Shah wowed everyone

The first delivery was negotiated by India captain Rohit Sharma easily with a single on the leg side. Then KL Rahul came on strike. Naseem ran in, fast and furious, with the raw energy of a teenager looking to bowl fast. Rahul, making a comeback after an injury, counted on his experience to negate the threat but erred in reading the line of the delivery. Naseem hurled a 142kph snorter, Rahul just dangled his bat, at an angle, neither vertical, nor horizontal. The ball took the edge and crashed into the stumps. Rahul hung his head and walked back, a first ball duck, Naseem took off, chased by his teammates, finally caught by wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan and then embraced by all his teammates and congratulated for his maiden T20I wicket.

Javed Miandad and I got along well off the ground: Kiran More

The two teams don't play bilateral series anymore, which means that the players don't get to visit each others' homes etc., but on the field there is ample evidence of player bonhomie and mutual respect, like we saw in Sunday's Asia Cup match, which turned out to be quite the thriller that India won by 5 wickets. But there was a time when an India-Pakistan cricket match was almost sure to produce some on-field altercation or banter. One unforgettable instance was the Kiran More vs Javed Miandad incident in the 1992 World Cup, which every hard core Indian and Pakistan cricket fan will remember or know about.

Hardik dished out an all-round effort, first returning with figures of 3 for 25 and then playing a 17-ball unbeaten 33-run knock to guide India home on Sunday, four years after suffering a back injury, which kept him out of the game for almost three years.
