LONDON: Chelsea ended Al-Hilal’s dreams of winning the FIFA Club World Cup with a 1-0 victory in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. But the Saudis won plenty of international respect for pushing the European champions all the way in an enthralling contest.
West Indies stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran expressed disappointment after his side was defeated by India in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Prasidh Krishna's four-wicket haul helped India defend 237 and defeat West Indies by 44 runs in the second ODI. "With the bat, we didn't build partnerships. We kept losing wickets at regular intervals. In the 39th over, we lost Fabian first and then Hosein in the very next. We need to continue to be aggressive. Pollard is a tough and big guy and should be back. Smith is a strong guy. He is a little inexperienced but sky is the limit for him. We did a good job with the ball and hopefully we can do the same in the final game. And also do better with the bat," Pooran said after the game.

Senior opener and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana did not play and her absence was felt badly as India fell short by 18 runs while chasing 156 for a win. Rookie Yastika Bhatia, who opened in place of Mandhana along with young Shafali Verma, did reasonably well with a run-a-ball 26 (2x4; 1x6) but India never looked like they could chase down the target against an impressive New Zealand bowling attack. The opening stand was worth 41 runs in 6.3 overs and that was the highest partnership for India.
