MILAN : Italy's top soccer league Serie A awarded commercial broadcaster MFE-MediaForEurope the TV rights for the next three seasons of the Italian Cup competition, in a deal worth around 168 million euros, two sources close to the matter said on Monday.
World Cup 2023 points table: Afghanistan's stupendous run at the Cricket World Cup continued on Monday as they got the better Sri Lanka. Having already beaten defending champions England and Pakistan, Afghanistan notched their third win of the marquee event with quite ease. After restricting former Cricket World Cup champions Sri Lanka to just 241, Afghanistan eased to the target. Before the game, Afghanistan were placed seventh. But with the convincing seven wicket win, Afghanistan have climbed up to the fifth spot ahead of the likes of heavyweights Pakistan and England. They now have a serious chance of claiming a stake in the top -four.
Their World Cup hopes over, embattled Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan on Monday said the team will look to put up a good show in the remaining matches to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Bangladesh lost to the Netherlands here in their last outing to make it five losses in a row. The defeat dashed their slim hopes of making it to the semifinals. "We will have to do our best and win, look for two points. We have had our team meetings, and how can we overcome the situation. But it's us who have to show it in action, do it in the ground," Shakib said on the eve of their match against Pakistan.
PUNE, India: A spirited Afghanistan upset another former champion on Monday when Hashmatullah Shahidi's men defeated 1996 winners Sri Lanka by seven wickets to continue their memorable campaign at the 50-overs World Cup.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma survived a close DRS call off the bowling of Mark Wood during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against England in Lucknow on Sunday. It was a tense moment for India as they had already lost the wickets of Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer with the score reaching the 50-run mark. While the on-field umpire gave him out, the review showed that the delivery from Wood was missing the leg stump and the crowd's happiness was clear from the intensity of their cheers. Rohit's wife Ritika Sajdeh was also in attendance at the Ekana Stadium and her reaction following the incident has gone viral on social media.
It has been a brilliant campaign for Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma in the Cricket World Cup 2023 till now. He did not have a good outing against Australia in the tournament opener but since then, the veteran batter has enjoyed a sensational run of form. With 398 runs, he is the top run-scorer for India ahead of Virat Kohli and fourth overall. He was once again instrumental in steadying the Indian innings after losing early wickets against England and former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar ranked the 87-run knock as one of his best. After the match, Manjrekar said that although Rohit is mainly remembered for his double tons in ODI cricket, the gritty knock on Sunday was a reflection of his talent.
Pakistan and Bangladesh will feature against each other in the 31st match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday, October 31, starting at 2:00 PM IST. Pakistan have lost four matches on the bounce for the first time in World Cup history, keeping them sixth on the points table with four points and a net run rate of -0.387. Babar Azam and Co. suffered their latest defeat against South Africa in Chennai as the Proteas chased down 271 with only one wicket to spare.
The babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team is not having a good time at the Cricket World Cup. With only two wins in six matches, the 1992 Cricket World Cup champions, are on the brink of exit from the round-robin stage. Pakistan take on Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata in what is almost a must-win match. Ahead of the match, Pakistan's head coach Grant Bradburn blamed the "foreign conditions" in India and their lack of familiarity with the venues as the reason behind the debacle. With four straight defeats, Pakistan's semifinal hopes have been heavily dented. Nothing sort of a miracle will see the team through to the last four stage. They have to win their remaining three matches by big margins and hope that other teams' results also favoured them to have any chance of making it to the last-four stage.
