Borussia Dortmund demonstrated remarkable composure as they secured their third Champions League final appearance. Mats Hummels' second-half goal, coming from a corner five minutes into the second half, earned the visitors a 1-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain. This well-deserved win gave Dortmund a 2-0 aggregate victory across both legs. Hummels' decisive header sends the German club, who previously won the title in 1997, into their first final in Europe's top club competition since 2013. They now await the winner of the clash between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, who are set to face off at the Bernabéu. The final will take place at Wembley on June 1. Despite PSG hitting the woodwork four times, they failed to find the back of the net. Kylian Mbappé, who is widely expected to leave the club at the end of the season, was unable to make a major impact on the match.

Australia’s young Twenty20 batting sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk scored a whirlwind half-century as Delhi Capitals notched a crucial 20-run win over Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Fraser-McGurk, left out of Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, gave perfect momentum upfront with a 20-ball 50 as Delhi made a challenging 221-8 after Rajasthan won the toss and elected to field at a venue where all four previous games this season were won by teams batting first. Captain Sanju Samson kept Rajasthan in the hunt with a blistering 86 off 46 balls with six sixes and eight boundaries but his controversial dismissal in the 16th over saw the visitors finishing at 201-8 for its third loss this season. Rajasthan has 16 points and stayed at No. 2 on net run-rate behind table-topper Kolkata Knight Riders. Delhi with 12 points is tied with three other teams — Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants — as race for the playoffs gets tight.
