Manchester United

Liverpool hand Manchester United their biggest defeat in Premier League history

By March 6, 2023 0

Manchester United has been handed a shock defeat. After winning the Carabao Cup and knocking Barcelona out of the Europa League, the Red Devils have suffered their biggest defeat in the Premier League. Erik Ten Hag’s men suffered a 7-0 loss against Liverpool in a Premier League fixture on Sunday.

The match started on a positive note, with both the clubs making aggressive runs at the opposition’s goal. However, it was Liverpool who landed the first blow with Cody Gakpo’s stunning curling kick within a few minutes of the half-time whistle.

The scoreline was 1-0 at the end of the first half. As soon as the second half started, all hell broke loose for the Red Devils. Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez made a tap in not allowing Manchester United to settle. Minutes later, Cody Gakpo scored his second goal to give a comfortable 3-0 lead for The Reds.

Making matters worse for the Old Trafford-based club, Mohammad Salah, who had a pretty average season in terms of goals, scored two quick goals to take the scoreline to 6-0. Roberto Firmino, who came as a substitute, put his name on the scoresheet to make it 7-0, handing Manchester United their biggest defeat in Premier League history. The shock Liverpool loss at Anfield was their worst result in 92 years.

Erik Ten Hag was furious with the team’s performance against Liverpool. “It’s unprofessional,” ten Hag said. He further added, “As a team, you have to stick together. And that is what we didn’t do. And that was a surprise for me. I haven’t seen this from my team. I don’t think it’s Manchester United. So it’s really bad and poor.”

Indore pitch rated "poor" by ICC; gets three demerit points

Indore pitch rated “poor” by ICC; gets three demerit points

By March 4, 2023 0

Indore’s Holkar Cricket Stadium, where the third Test match was conducted, saw some stark opinions from the cricketing fraternity. The playing surface saw a sharp turn from the first day itself. Thereby getting rated “poor” by the International Cricket Council.

The Indore pitch came under scanner after it saw the Test getting completed within three days. With the Indore pitch rated poor under the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process, the venue received three demerit points after match referee Chris Broad submitted his report. Broad said, “The pitch, which was very dry, did not provide a balance between bat and ball, favouring spinners from the start. He further added, “The fifth ball of the match broke through the pitch surface and continued to occasionally break the surface providing little or no seam movement and there was excessive and uneven bounce throughout the match.”

BCCI now have 14 days if they wish to appeal against the sanction. As per ICC’s rules, a venue will be suspended from hosting any international cricket for a period of 12 months if it accumulates five or more demerit points over a five-year rolling period. If it accumulates ten demerit points, it will be suspended from hosting international cricket for a period of 24 months.

The last time a pitch in India was rated poor was in 2017, the Pune Test, where Australia beat India on a similar turner. Also, Broad was the one who handed out that sanction as well.

By February 27, 2023 0

The new era has begun. Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United has finally landed its hands on a trophy after six long years. The Red Devils defeated Newcastle United 2-0 to win the Carabao Cup at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Manchester United started the match with some excellent gameplay. The team relentlessly attacked to put Newcastle United on the back foot. Soon after, Casemiro scored the opener for Erik ten Hag’s side at Wembley to give them the lead.

The club widened their lead as a Marcus Rashford shot was deflected by Sven Botman in his own goal to make matters worse for the Magpies.

With this win, the Premier League club won its first piece of silverware since they won the Europa League under Jose Mourinho in 2017.

Erik Ten Hag, who has been brilliant at the club, said in the post-match interview, “Yet again this evening, they had the right spirit.

We will get a lot of inspiration from this, but also more confidence that we can do it.”

The Mighty Australians win the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup for a record 6th time

By February 27, 2023 0

The Australian women have emerged as the champions of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. The defending champions crushed the South Africans by 19 runs to win the T20 World Cup for the sixth time. With the win, the Australians have won the title for the third consecutive time, creating a world record in the history of international cricket.

Batting first, the Australians rode on Beth Mooney’s fantastic innings of 74 runs in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The left-handed batter had a bit of support from Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner to ensure the team reached a competitive total of 156 runs from their quota of 20 overs. For the hosts, Shabnim Ismail had a wonderful spell giving away just 26 runs from her four overs and taking two crucial wickets.

In the second innings of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, South Africa didn’t have a great start. The team scored just 22 runs in the first six overs. But with the wickets in hand, the team knew they could capitalize in the middle overs. A 55-run stand between the in-form batter Laura Wolvaardt (61 off 48 balls) and Chloe Tryon (25 off 23 balls) got the South Africans in the chase. However, some clever bowling from the Australians derailed the momentum of the South Africans.

The likes of Megan Schutt, Gardner, and Darcie Brown gave little away as South Africa was left with too much to do in the end. All that the hosts could manage was 137/6, as the Australian bowlers remained calm right through.

Meg Lanning, the Australian captain, had encouraging words for her team. In the post-match interview, the skipper said, “It’s a pretty special effort from the group. All the teams came hard at us, but I’m super proud of the way we kept fighting back. We felt like it was a good score, but we had to put pressure on South Africa.”

The Australian women have lifted the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup trophy a record 6 times (2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020, 2023). Meg Lanning, their charismatic captain, has alone lifted the cup four times.

Man United knocks Barcelona out of the Europa League

By February 24, 2023 0

Manchester United did the unthinkable. The Red Devils have knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League. After the first leg ended in a 2-2 draw, the Premier League club came from behind to score two goals to take the side to the next round of the Europa League.

Both sides played aggressively in the early minutes of play to get one in the opposition’s net. And maybe this approach cost them a penalty in the 18th minute after Bruno Fernandes performed a rash challenge on Alejandro Balde. Robert Lewandowski, who was as cool as a cucumber, converted the penalty into a goal and gave the Blaugrana the lead.

But Fred equalized early in the second half before substitute Antony completed the turnaround for Manchester United 17 minutes from full time.

Erik Ten Hag called this one of the best wins of his managerial career. In a post-match interview, he said, “It was a magnificent night. I think it is brilliant when you can beat Barcelona – eight points ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga – and we have seen this week Real Madrid playing [in their 5-2 win [over Liverpool]. We did a magnificent performance.”

The victory marks Manchester United’s first win over Barcelona since the narrow 1-0 win in the Champions League semi-final second leg in April 2008.

Aiden Markram to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2023

By February 23, 2023 0

Aiden Markram’s stocks are continuously rising. After leading the Sunrisers Eastern Cape to a title-winning campaign in 2023 SA20, the South African has been appointed to lead the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2023.

An SRH official revealed that the franchise management, in consultation with head coach Brian Lara, decided to make Aiden Markram the skipper after his astounding performance in the recent SA20, in which the South African led the Sunrisers Eastern Cape side to the title.

“I am open to taking up the SRH leadership if it comes my way, but I will not mind if it does not. I am prepared, but it is up to the management,” Markram told Cricbuzz recently in Johannesburg.

Markram has good leadership skills. It was under him that the South African team won their only World Cup trophy beating Pakistan in the final of the under-19 World Cup.

Additionally, Delhi Capitals have announced David Warner as the skipper in place of Rishabh Pant. “David will be our captain, and Axar Patel will be his deputy,” said a member of the ownership group of Delhi Capitals.
