PARIS :England held off a spirited Argentina fightback to win a Rugby World Cup bronze final full of intensity and errors 26-23 on Friday for a small drop of consolation after the heartbreaking disappointment of their semi-final defeat last week.
The England cricket team has had a poor outing with the bat on Thursday. During a Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Sri Lanka at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bat first. The side was bundled out for 156 with Ben Stokes being their best performer with a score of 43. While majority of the England batters found their own way to lose their wickets, the dismissal of Adil Rashid was certainly the most bizzare one.
England finished third in the tournament for the first time after Nicolas Sanchez' unsuccessful late penalty for the Pumas that would have drawn the sides level in the closing minutes.
The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) said on Friday it had paid the members of their Women's World Cup squad after players said they had opted out of a pair of Gold Cup qualifiers in protest.
CHENNAI : Pakistan team director Mickey Arthur said their failure to click with the bat had cost them in the World Cup as he rued the lack of a perfect game where all the departments perform collectively following Friday's narrow loss to South Africa.
The Pakistan cricket team's disappointing show at the Cricket World Cup 2023 continued on Friday as they were defeated by South Africa in a thriller at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Babar Azam-led side came agonisingly close to victory but were ultimately defeated by just one wicket. As a result, Pakistan are sixth in the points table and with just four points from six matches, they will find it extremely difficult to book their berth in the knockout stages. On the other hand, South Africa claimed the top spot as they leapfrogged the unbeaten Indian cricket team. While both sides have 10 points in the competition, South Africa have the better Net Run Rate (NRR). New Zealand are third at the moment while Australia and Sri Lanka are fourth and fifth respectively.
A defiant Jos Buttler insists he is still the man to captain England despite presiding over a doomed World Cup campaign. England suffered an eight-wicket trouncing on Thursday at the hands of Sri Lanka who chased down a meagre 157-run target with almost 25 overs to spare. It was a fourth defeat in five games for England, who slipped to ninth in the 10-team table and need to win their four remaining games to have any hope of even squeezing into the semi-finals. Three of those games are against undefeated two-time champions India, five-time winners Australia and 1992 champions Pakistan. When asked if he is still the man to lead his country the 33-year-old simply replied: "Yeah".
CHENNAI, India : Aiden Markram cracked a crucial half-century as table-topping South Africa broke their 24-year World Cup jinx against Pakistan with a nervy one-wicket victory and inched closer to securing a semi-final place with their fifth win in six matches.
