Women's T20 World Cup: There was no support from fielding to the bowling strategy, says Anjum Chopra
In the five-run loss at Newlands Cricket Ground, India endured a terrible day with misses galore in ground fielding and catching. Meg Lanning was dropped on one by wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh and further survived a stumping attempt on nine too. Shafali Verma dropped a simple catch of Beth Mooney at long-on when she was on 32. Apart from the three dropped chances, there were misfields in large numbers which got Australia to post 172/4.

The all-rounder was considered to play in the second Test in Delhi but was ultimately ruled out on the eve of the match after suffering minor setbacks while batting in the nets. Green's anticipated return from a serious finger injury is a welcome boost for the Baggy Greens as skipper Pat Cummins, David Warner and Josh Hazlewood flew home in recent days.

Rio Open: Alcaraz stuns Fognini to sail into quarterfinals
In a rematch of their 2022 Rio de Janeiro semifinal, Alcaraz earned an entertaining 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 victory, improving to 6-0 on the season on Thursday night. It's always a challenge to play Fabio. He's such a talented player and we never know what he's going to do. It was a match with highs and lows. I started pretty well but I missed some opportunities and when you're playing against someone like him you can't afford to do that.
