Odisha FC, the champions of the Indian Women's League (IWL), will compete in the inaugural edition of the AFC Women's Champions League this year, announced the All India Football Federation. The tournament is scheduled to begin in August 2024 with the preliminary stage.

In the Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, 3rd T20I Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bowl first.

Former rugby union player Louis Rees-Zammit credits Patrick Mahomes for valuable advice during transition to American Football with Kansas City Chiefs.

After 20 overs Bangladesh are at 165-5.

Japan have absolutely dismantled the Mongolia batting line-up in the first T20I. Chasing a target of 200 runs, the visitors are shot out for just 33 runs to suffer a 166-run mauling at the Sano Cricket Ground.

The third T20I between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe has grown into a humdinger. The visitors have lost eight wickets but are still in the hunt, in pursuit of a 166-run target. Zimbabwe need 27 more runs off the last two overs.

A bridge too far to cross for Zimbabwe, eventually. Bangladesh limit them to 156 for 9 in 20 overs and eke out a hard-fought nine-run win in the third T20I, which means the hosts take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

Cricket legend Brian Lara is rooting for an India vs West Indies final at the ICC T20 World Cup next month to fix the "wrong" of 2007, when India's early exit "killed us in the Caribbean".

"India and West Indies final is going to make up for so much wrong that has happened in the past. India missing out in 2007 in second round, that killed us in the Caribbean. We don't want that to happen again. So, India and West Indies in the final and may the best team win," Lara told PTI.

English football titan Manchester United are eager to sell Mason Greenwood in the upcoming transfer window and could field interest from Barcelona, as per Getafe president Angel Torres. Greenwood joined Getafe on a season-long loan deal in September and has scored eight goals and added six assists in 29 appearances in La Liga in 2023-24.

Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 and was later charged with attempted rape and assault, with all charges against him dropped in February 2023.
