Australia's struggle for existence today Australia is under a lot of pressure after losing to Zimbabwe. They have no room for mistakes. If they lose to Sri Lanka in Pallekele today, they may not be eliminated from the tournament on paper, but they will have to perform a miracle to go to the Super Eight. So if they lose today, the World Cup will almost be over for the Aussies. Their last match is against Oman on February 20. And Sri Lanka, who won the last two matches, will come to confirm the Super Eight. Even if they lose today, the Sri Lankans will have a chance. Then they will have to win the last match against Zimbabwe by a big margin. Even after winning the title, for some invisible reason, Australia's dominance in the T20 World Cup is not very visible. However, they have absolute dominance in the ODI World Cup. They are also one of the top teams in the world in any condition in Tests. Australia is in a very bad situation in both the batting and bowling departments in this...

Hesson said at the post-match press conference, 'There is a lot of disappointment in the dressing room now. The players were quiet. Everyone knows how important this match is. A Pakistan-India match means a different emotion, a different pressure.' He admitted that the team was confident. Pakistan was in good shape after winning five consecutive matches before the tournament. But the plan against India did not w...

Manuel Neuer, the goalie for Bayern Munich, has been sidelined for several weeks due to a calf injury. Manuel Neuer, the captain and goalkeeper for Bayern Munich, has been sidelined for several weeks due to a calf injury. During Saturday's 3-0 Bundesliga victory over Werder Bremen, Neuer, 39, suffered a minor tear in his left calf, Bayern announced on Sunday. Neuer will be out "for the time being," according to the club, which probably means he won't play in the "der Klassiker" against Borussia Dortmund on February 28. With 12 games left, Bayern leads the Bundesliga by six points over Dortmund. The injury was sustained by Neuer during Saturday's first half. The 22-year-old Jonas Urbig, who can expect to make more appearances in the upcoming weeks, took his place for the second half. 

Zielinski netted a last-minute goal, leading Serie A frontrunner Inter to a 3-2 victory over Juventus, thereby maintaining an 8-point lead. Piotr Zielinski netted a last-minute goal, leading Serie A leaders Inter Milan to a 3-2 victory over Juventus, thereby maintaining an eight-point lead over second-placed AC Milan on Saturday. Juventus managed to equalize twice and overcame a red card, but ultimately succumbed in the 90th minute when Zielinski struck a low shot after receiving a pass from Yann Bisseck near the penalty area.

In the first half, Juventus left back Andrea Cambiaso scored at both ends. He unintentionally redirected Luis Henrique’s cross into his own net past goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio in the 17th minute, then connected with a right-wing cross from American midfield...

Vinícius Júnior netted 2 goals, leading a Real Madrid team without Mbappé to a 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad, thereby ascending to the top position in Spain. Vinícius Júnior successfully converted two penalties, leading a Real Madrid team that was without superstar Kylian Mbappé to a commanding 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday, thus securing the top position in La Liga. Mbappé remained on the substitutes’ bench after experiencing discomfort in his left knee, which caused him to miss several training sessions during the week. Madrid's coach, Álvaro Arbeloa, indicated on Friday that Mbappé was fit to play, yet it was clear that he preferred not to rush his star striker back into action. There was no necessity for him to do so. Both Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury, observed as Madrid delivered a confident team performance that ended the visitors’ impressive 10-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, allowing them to move two poin...
