The atmosphere at the Arun Jaitley Stadium took an abrupt turn during the Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru IPL 2026 match on April 27, Monday as a heavy dust storm swept across the ground. The sky turned an hazy shade of orange, and high-velocity winds quickly reduced visibility, forcing a temporary halt to play during the 10th over. Players and officials were seen shielding their faces and retreating to the side as the eyesights struggled to pierce through the thick veil of dust. It was not the only storm of the match. The weather hazard arrived at a critical moment, mirroring the bowling storm that had already taken place. Earlier, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood had exploited the shifting conditions to reduce Delhi to a historic 13/6 in the Powerplay. The combination of the abrasive winds and the clinical pace attack created a chaotic environment, eventually resulting in the Capitals being bowled out for 75 in just 16.3 overs.

Arsenal benefited from two defensive blunders to rally for a 2-1 win over Lyon in the first leg of the Women’s Champions League semifinals on Sunday, keeping the English club on course to defend its title. Trailing to Jule Brand’s 19th-minute goal for record eight-time champion Lyon, Arsenal was gifted an equalizer in the 59th when Mariona Caldentey’s low free kick into the area was fumbled backward by goalkeeper Christiane Endler and onto the post. Lyon center back Ingrid Engen, stretching to make the clearance, inadvertently turned the ball into her own net. Engen compounded that mistake by misreading a back-pass from teammate Lindsey Heaps in the 83rd minute. Olivia Smith got to the ball ahead of Engen, had a shot saved by Endler, and recovered to convert the rebound.

That’s why where was much relief as joy when she holed a 7-foot par putt to close with a 2-under 70 to capture her third major championship and return to No. 1 in the women’s world ranking for the first time since August.
