Less than a fortnight after Sydney Sixers were mauled by Melbourne Stars, they have won the return bout to continue their late-season WBBL surge.Ash Gardner starred with her highest score in the league for more than two years, as well as taking three wickets, in the 16-run win on Wednesday at Drummoyne Oval. The Sixers improved to equal-second in the standings with Stars, and have a game in hand.On November 20, Stars great Meg Lanning unleashed a batting masterclass against Sixers, and her 135 remains the top score of the season. But since that heavy loss, Sixers are on a three-game winning streak, with one no-result. By contrast, Stars have lost their past two matches to fall three points behind top side Hobart Hurricanes.After Sixers won the toss on Wednesday, Gardner headlined their innings with a quickfire 50 from 31 balls, featuring seven fours and two sixes. It was her highest WBBL score since October 2023.Maia Bouchier’s 67 went in a losing cause•Getty Images

Opener Sophia Dunkley contributed 41 and Sixers reached a healthy 164 for 5.Stars looked shot when Gardner trapped Lanning lbw for just eight, leaving them 30 for 4.Enter Maia Bouchier, playing her first game of the WBBL season as a replacement for Marizanne Kapp. Bouchier combined with Kim Garth for a fifth-wicket stand of 82 that put Stars back in the hunt.After Gardner dismissed Garth for 17, Dani Gibson immediately hit three fours and suddenly the pressure was on Sixers.Stars were 131 for 5 in the 18th over when Bouchier rifled a low drive off Mady Villiers and Lauren Cheatle took an outstanding catch at cover. With Bouchier out for a match-high 67 from 40 balls, and Gibson dismissed in the next over for 17, Sixers could breathe again.Stars reached 148 for 8 as Gardner snared 3 for 31 from four overs.Sixers will close out the regular season against Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers, while Stars will play Sydney Thunder.

O Santos vive um dilema para a final do Paulistão. O clube foi mandante na vitória diante do Bragantino, e a partida aconteceu na Neo Química Arena, do Corinthians. Não na Vila Belmiro. Para a decisão do domingo (31), apesar da questão sobre o estádio, a prioridade é voltar a jogar na capital paulista.

Com uma renda de mais de R$ 3 milhões e quase 45 mil pessoas no estádio, o jogo na casa do rival pode ser considerado um sucesso. Existe chance do retorno à Itaquera, mas a ideia de jogar no MorumBis também agrada. No entanto, o São Paulo chegou a vetar o aluguel do estádio para rivais, na primeira fase do Estadual.

O presidente Marcelo Teixeira abordou o tema na saída da Neo Química Arena e reiterou a preferência.

– Vamos aguardar a definição de quem será o finalista. Teremos a reunião na sexta na Federação Paulista, me parece que o Novorizontino faz questão de jogar na sua casa, o Palmeiras idem. Temos que aguardar o outro finalista para resolvermos essa situação. O Santos, se puder fazer essa decisão antecipada, vamos fazer desde já e vamos jogar em São Paulo – contou.

O lateral Felipe Jonatan confirmou a intenção. Ele revelou que os jogadores ouviram sobre a preferência da diretoria para atuar em São Paulo, independentemente do adversário da final.

– Essa definição fica mais para a diretoria. Já escutamos algumas coisas que querem mandar o jogo em São Paulo independentemente do adversário. Vamos deixar isso com a diretoria. Mostramos que o Santos, onde jogar, temos que nos doar. Pegamos uma equipe de Série A, o Bragantino, formada e entrosada há muito tempo. Independentemente do local, aqui, no Morumbis, na Vila Belmiro, temos que entrar para ganhar porque é uma final – afirmou, em entrevista à Cazé TV.

O técnico Fábio Carille, diferentemente de Felipe Jonatan, preferiu despistar sobre a casa do Peixe no Estadual.

– Não foi falado sobre isso ainda, não deu tempo de discutir isso ainda. Não só eu como os jogadores, em conjunto com a diretoria, vamos honrar essa camisa o máximo possível para que possamos, em conjunto, decidir o que é melhor – disse o profissional, em entrevista coletiva.

Classificado à final do Paulistão após bater o Massa Bruta por 3 a 1, o Santos aguarda o vencedor entre Palmeiras e Novorizontino para conhecer seu adversário da final do estadual. A partida entre os outros semifinalistas acontece nesta quinta-feira (28), no Allianz Parque.

O primeiro a ser citado durante a entrevista coletiva concedida nesta quarta-feira foi o atacante Carlinhos, ex-Flamengo, pouco aproveitado durante a temporada.

— O empréstimo de alguns jogadores estão vencendo e não vamos renovar, como Carlinhos — afirmou Mota.

Mesmo com a passagem de quatro treinadores pela Toca do Leão, Carlinhos manteve o status de terceiro na fila da posição de centroavante ao longo de todo o ano. Ainda assim, ele entrou em campo 23 vezes com a camisa vermelha e preta, com quatro gols marcados.

Além de Carlinhos, Fábio Mota também revelou a saída do lateral-direito Raúl Cáceres e do volante Willian Oliveira. Ambos, inclusive, terminaram a temporada como titulares do time de Jair Ventura.

— O Raúl [Cáceres] quis voltar para a terra dele [Paraguai]. Quero aproveitar para agradecer os dois anos que ele passou aqui, um cara exemplar, dedicado e de bom caráter, mas está voltando para o país dele. Nós entendemos e desejamos sorte ao Raúl. O Willian também saiu com a mesma história, voltando para a terra dele. Recebeu uma proposta. Estamos trabalhando no mercado para repor essas duas peças. A meta é tentar ser o mais assertivo possível — detalhou.

Vitória busca renovações

Além do trabalho para repor as saídas, o Vitória também busca renovar com atletas importantes do time que estão na reta final do vínculo por empréstimo. O presidente Fábio Mota citou seis nomes que se tornaram prioridade para o clube, já de olho na próxima temporada:

Thiago Couto (goleiro) – pertence ao Sport;Lucas Halter (zagueiro) – pertence ao Botafogo;Jamerson (lateral-esquerdo) – pertence ao Coritiba;Ramon (lateral-esquerdo) – pertence ao Internacional;Baralhas (volante) – pertence ao Atlético-GO;Erick (atacante) – pertence ao São Paulo.

— Estamos conversando com Halter. Entre Vitória e Botafogo está resolvido. Estamos conversando com o atleta. Baralhas e Vitória está adiantado. Vitória e Atlético-GO estamos conversando — iniciou o presidente Fábio Mota.

— Thiago Couto não deu porque o Sport está sem presidente. Estamos aguardando. Sobre Erick, estamos conversando com o São Paulo. Disseram que o São Paulo negou a proposta do Vitória. Não negou porque não fizemos ainda. Estamos na conversa. Estamos conversando com o Coritiba sobre Jamerson. Está bem adiantado. Estamos conversando com o Internacional sobre o Ramon. O objetivo do Vitória é renovar o contrato desses atletas — completou.

Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left his team's game Monday against the Pirates after he made an incredible stretch to get an out at first base.

Shortstop Bo Bichette made an off-balanced throw to first on a ground ball that forced Guerrero to stretch as far as he could to capture the ball before Pirates shortstop Jared Triolo could touch the bag. Guerrero did the splits as he caught the ball and kept his back foot on the base to record a miraculous final out to the third inning:

He may have gotten slightly injured on the play, however, as the Blue Jays pinch hit Ty France for Guerrero in the fifth inning, removing the star first baseman from the game. The team provided an official update that he was removed from the game with left hamstring tightness. He did come up a bit gingerly after the acrobatic play, but ran back to the dugout following the out. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Guerrero leads the Blue Jays with 21 home runs this season. He's slashing .300/.398/.500 and has added 68 RBIs in his seventh season with the team. He made a similar play last week to get an out.

When there is no shortage of venues to choose from, why pick one where the air quality reaches dangerous levels at precisely that time of year?

Sidharth Monga03-Apr-2025When India and South Africa play their second Test there later this year, Guwahati will become the 17th venue to have hosted a Test in India in the last 10 years. It means India has 16 active Test venues that all have excellent facilities except for Green Park in Kanpur, which, last year, struggled to get cricket going even after rain stopped. It won’t happen, but even if we assume Kanpur is blacklisted, the BCCI had 15 options for the first Test of that South Africa series, starting November 14.It takes special apathy and lack of duty of care to still go ahead and schedule this Test in Delhi, where the poor air quality becomes a health emergency in November. On the Air Quality Index (AQI), a reading of over 300 is considered “very poor” and over 400 “severe”. India’s official AQI meters are not designed to measure air that gets so bad that it reaches four digits. On November 18 last year, the AQI officially reached 999. IQAir, a Swiss company that measures air quality, measured Delhi’s AQI on that day at 1600, according to the . It resulted in lockdown-like conditions. People were advised to leave home only in emergency. Schools were shut and outdoor activity barred even when they reopened.The situation in recent years has been so bad that 500 is considered a good day in November when the unholy combination of industrial pollution, vehicular fumes, construction activity, post-Diwali firecracker fumes and the burning of post-harvest stubble in neighbouring states is at play. Delhi’s landlocked geography and unfavourable wind directions make it the perfect storm.Related

It is pertinent to avoid athletic activity in that air because the major air pollutant is PM 2.5, particulate matter that is less than 2.5mm in diameter. When we strain during athletic activity, our breathing gets deeper and more rapid, thus eliminating any chance of avoiding inhaling PM 2.5. The Central Pollution Control Board warned in 2017, when the AQI didn’t reach four figures, that running a marathon in those conditions could deposit two tablespoonfuls of toxic ash in your lungs. A Test match is no marathon but it is still elite high-performance athletic activity.To be fair, no Indian should need a refresher on this health emergency because it happens every year. The BCCI shouldn’t need reminding either. Here is a quick timeline of how cricket has been affected in Delhi in the last 10 years.In the first week of November 2016, two Ranji Trophy matches were called off as players “could not even stand outside”.In 2017, Sri Lanka players put on masks to deal with the pollution in Delhi•BCCIIn 2017, Sri Lanka took the field wearing masks in a Test match interrupted by air pollution. The players kept going off the field and vomiting. There were oxygen cylinders in the dressing room. Mohammed Shami and Suranga Lakmal vomited on the field.The ODI between India and Australia in March 2019 went off well, but later that year, on November 3, two Bangladesh players vomited on the field. The then BCCI president Sourav Ganguly tweeted to thank the two teams for playing the game “under tuff [sic] conditions”. ESPNcricinfo understands Ganguly, who had been elected BCCI president only a month earlier, privately expressed displeasure at the scheduling when he read this on November 1.The 2023 ODI World Cup featured four Delhi matches in October, which went off fine, but the one match in November nearly didn’t happen. This being an ICC event, there was at least a chance of the match being called off. Bangladesh skipped practice.And yet, here we are. Of all the gin joints in the world. Three weeks after Diwali. Another Test match that will expose not just the players but also spectators, who are otherwise warned to not leave home unless in an emergency, to life-shortening air pollution.The last time Delhi got a match in November, sources in the BCCI said off the record that matches are allotted to state associations on rotational basis, and that the BCCI can’t cross members who constitute the body in the first place. That doesn’t even begin to explain how Ahmedabad, which hosted England in February 2025, will get two more matches later in the same year.If this Test in Delhi does go ahead, India will have hosted only 14 internationals (two in Ahmedabad) between two matches in Delhi. Even if you restrict it to just Tests, there will have only been 14 India home Tests since the last one in Delhi. By comparison, Eden Gardens last got a Test in November 2019, which is 23 Tests ago. Ahmedabad will have hosted four Tests between the last Eden Gardens Test and the one it is scheduled to host in October against West Indies.These, though, are internal BCCI machinations that a private body should be free to partake in. Even the dismal treatment of fans in India can be seen as the BCCI enjoying the favourable end of the demand-supply stick. The wellbeing of players and spectators, though, is another matter. Cricket South Africa (CSA) will not protest, or cannot protest. There is no player union in India. The South African union can only make an indirect, unthreatening request. “Player well-being must always be the primary concern,” it told ESPNcricinfo. “All stakeholders need to recognise this and act accordingly.”The only entity that can act on this is the BCCI. There are still eight months to go. There is still time to do the right thing and move this Test elsewhere.

Victor Robles has apologized for the weekend incident where he threw a bat at a minor league pitcher after he was hit by another pitch while on a rehab assignment with the Seattle Mariners' Triple A Tacoma Rainiers. Robles returned from the IL last week after missing four months because of a dislocated shoulder suffered while crashing into the fence making a catch back in April.

Robles was hit twice in his first game back and again in his second game. By the time a pitch came up and in during the sixth game of the series against the Las Vegas Aviators on Sunday, Robles had had enough.

Late last night he posted an apology on Instagram.

Robles was released by the Washington Nationals in June 2024 and signed with the Mariners and appeared in 77 games for Seattle last season. He had started the first 10 games of the season for Seattle this year before he was injured.

England booked their place in the last 16 of the Under 17 World Cup courtesy of a commanding 2-0 victory over South Korea in Qatar. Reigan Heskey, son of former Liverpool striker Emile, was on the scoresheet with a superb header and an own goal eased the Young Lions into the next round in what was ultimately a comfortable win for Liam Bradley's side.

Three Lions cruise into last-16 as South Korea fade in Qatar

There was a real scare for England inside the opening minute after Manchester City's Dante Headley was bundled off the ball by Kim Ji-sung who thrashed his shot into the roof off the net, but there was huge relief when referee Abdou Abdel Mefire awarded a foul for the push. The Young Lions enjoyed much of the possession in the early stages, but had to wait until the 21st minute to test South Korea keeper Park Do-Hun as Tottenham's Luca Williams-Barnett saw his fierce drive from the edge of the box well saved. 

The deadlock was broken in the 28th minute following a bustling run down the right from the England captain Seth Ridgeon, and the Fulham star’s pass was directed into his own net by Jung Hui-seop. And England doubled their lead six minutes later after City’s Heskey headed home from close range after a brilliant searching cross from Aston Villa youngster Bradley Burrowes. 

England had chances to extend their lead in the second-half, with Chelsea's Chizaram Ezenwata missing the target from just inside the box and Williams-Barnett saw an audacious effort, from just inside his own half, slide agonisingly wide. The Young Lions will now face either Austria or Tunisia in the next round.

Williams-Barnett may not have got on the scoresheet, but he was right at the heart of everything England did well. He covered acres of ground, helping in defence when required and offered some excellent touches around the opposition box, too. If anyone deserved to score from their own half it was the Tottenham youngster who's enjoying the opportunities offered to him in his breakthrough season. The Luton-born midfielder made his senior debut in September 2025, becoming the club's youngest player in the Carabao Cup and the 900th player to appear for the club. He signed his first professional contract last month, too. 

The big loser

It was a truly calamitous moment for South Korea centre-back Jung who made an absolute mess of trying to block a pass. He only succeeded in getting his feet in a tangle while attempting to clear the danger, stumbled, fell and directed the ball into the back of his own net to give England the lead. You could almost feel sorry for him, it was a shame for a mistake of that magnitude to happen to a young player on such a big stage.

The Toronto Blue Jays are off to a dream start to their postseason run, jumping out to a 2–0 series lead over the New York Yankees to open the American League Division Series.

Starring for the Blue Jays is slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who has six hits in nine at-bats so far in the series, and a home run in each game, including a grand slam that sent the Toronto crowd into absolute elation on Sunday.

The Blue Jays are no strangers to the postseason, having played playoff baseball in three of the past five seasons, but this is already their first trip past the wild-card round since 2016, and if they can make a run to the World Series, it will be their first appearance since taking back-to-back titles in 1992 and ‘93.

Guerrero, who has spent the entirety of his career in Toronto, was asked if he felt there was something different about this year’s team compared to others. Through a translator, he provided a succinct answer.

"Today was optional for everyone here,” Guerrero said. “And we're all here."

The Blue Jays will have the chance to put away the Yankees in Game 3 of the ALDS on Tuesday night. If Guerrero can keep up his astounding run at the plate, they should have a good shot at finishing the job.
