Match 29&nbsp;of the T20 World Cup edition will see the Eoin Morgan-led England (ENG) take on the&nbsp;Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka (SL) on Monday evening (November 1). The game will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah.

England has won all three matches in the Super-12 stage against Australia, Bangladesh and West Indies. Their last comprehensive victory against Australia will give them a lot of confidence. They will be looking to continue their winning streak and confirm their spot in&nbsp;the semi-finals.&nbsp;

On the other hand, Sri Lanka&nbsp;has won only against Bangladesh and lost against Australia and South Africa. The Islanders will be wanting to win this match at any cost to keep their hopes alive in the tournament. However, at this stage, they need to be on their toes versus a rampant England and require a lot more to progress further.

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen urged the public on Monday to support the team even if they lose a game. Pietersen's remark came after the Indian cricket team was trolled on social media following their ICC Men's T20 World Cup loss to New Zealand. Virat Kohli has also come under scrutiny for his leadership during the match against New Zealand.

"There is a winner and a loser in the game. No player goes out to lose. It is the greatest honour to represent your country. Please realize that the people in the game are not robots and they need support at all times," tweeted Pietersen in Hindi.

Spurs had topped the Premier League standings in August after winning their opening three games but lost for the fifth time in the league to now sit 10 points behind leaders Chelsea.

Nuno's coaching staff have also been relieved of their duties. The club have not yet announced a replacement.

Nuno was appointed as Jose Mourinho's permanent replacement on a two-year deal in the close season after impressing during his four campaigns at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

He had a bright start, beating champions Manchester City on the opening day, but their season unravelled after defeats in four London derbies.

Tottenham Hotspur sack manager Nuno Espirito Santo after defeat vs Manchester United

Match 29 of the ICC T20 Men's World Cup will see the 2016 runners-up and favourites Eoin Morgan-led England take on the inexperienced Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka in Pool A. While the one-time winners England are coming into this game with a thrashing of Australia, Sri Lanka will feel gutted after having missed out a chance to beat South Africa in a thrilling encounter last week.

Morgan &amp; Co. had started their campaign in the marquee tournament with a loss in their first warm-up game. However, they have stood tall since then and are marching towards the semi-finals, most likely to end up with the top-spot in Pool A after three back-to-back wins. On the other hand, Sri Lanka defeated Bangladesh by 5 wickets in a tense-chase in their opening fixture in the main draw, however, their inexperience and rustiness got exposed versus Australia and South Africa.&nbsp;

Given that another win will confirm their semi-final qualification, England will come hard against the Lankans. On the other hand, Sri Lanka are more used to conditions in Sharjah, having already played three games, and also can pose some threat to the English line-up if they win the toss and opt to bowl first. For the unversed, England haven't batted first and set a target in Super 12 so far.

Match prediction for England-Sri Lanka T20 WC encounter:&nbsp;The pitch at Sharjah has been favouring the spinners due to its low bounce. While there hasn't been much turn on display, expect another 140-150-plus total on cards. While England will like to go hard if they chase a modest target, it will be interesting to see how they approach with the ball in the second-half (if the situation arise).

England are overwhelming favourites. Though one cannot rule out Sri Lanka's tendency to surprise any opposition on their day, they will have to be on their toes to beat Morgan &amp; Co.

ENG vs SL, T20 World Cup 2021 prediction: Who will win today's match between England and Sri Lanka?

After being thrashed by Pakistan in their T20 World Cup 2021 opener, Virat Kohli-led Team India were hammered by Kane Williamson-led New Zealand on Sunday (October 31), at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in their second game in Super 12.

Being asked to bat first, nothing clicked for India as they managed a below-par 110/7 in 20 overs. In reply, New Zealand sailed past the Men in Blue by 8 wickets courtesy vital knocks from Daryl Mitchell and Captain Williamson. With another defeat, the one-time winners India are almost on the verge of being eliminated from the marquee tournament.&nbsp;

With several experts and former cricketers questioning India's poor run and their tactics, Jasprit Bumrah pointed out that the bubble-life has taken a toll on the Indian cricketers. In their defence, Team India have been on the road since mid-May, 2021 and have played regular cricket since then. To move from one bio-bubble to the other isn't easy by any means and it has started to affect the players.&nbsp;

Bumrah told reporters post India's thrashing versus New Zealand, "Absolutely, sometimes you need a break. You miss your family. You've been on the road for six months. So all of that sometimes play on the back of your mind. But when you're on the field, you don't think of all those things .. Obviously staying in a bubble and staying away from your family for such a long period of time does play a role.

"The BCCI also tried their best to make us feel comfortable .. It's a difficult time. There's a pandemic going on, so we try to adapt but sometimes bubble fatigue, mental fatigue also creeps in."

'Sometimes you need a break: Jasprit Bumrah feels bubble-fatigue behind Team India's T20 WC struggles

The sporting fraternity have plenty of superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Lewis Hamilton, Mithali Raj, Ellyse Perry, etc. All the superstars from the world of sports have immense fan-following worldwide. In today's day and age, it has become a common trend where fans of a particular team, or player, make fanpages on social media platforms and often troll other players, or teams. This leads to fan-wars on social media even though the reality might be absolutely different among the star athletes.&nbsp;

The biggest example on how to remain fierce and competitive on field, or court, and have each other's backs outside the playing arena has been projected by tennis greats Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. While Federer came into the scene before the other two, Nadal and Djokovic also rose to fame with their aggressive style of play. While Federer remains a class act, Nadal is a powerhouse and makes the most of his strengths. On the other hand, Djokovic has equalled with Nadal and Federer in terms of most Grand Slam titles (20 each). While the trio remain the heartthrob of the tennis fraternity, there isn't much to separate among the famed trio. Nonetheless, the equation between them remains exemplary, giving a fine example of how rivals should conduct themselves off the court.&nbsp;

Here's a video which captures some of the best moments among the trio -- Federer, Nadal and Djokovic

The competition between them remains as fierce as it was few years back. Nonetheless, they never shy away from complimenting each other on their personal milestones. When Djokovic won the 2021 Wimbledon title, both Federer and Nadal showered praise on the Serbian great.&nbsp;

Federer tweeted saying, "Congrats Novak on your 20th major. I'm proud to have the opportunity to play in a special era of tennis champions. Wonderful performance, well done!"

On the other hand, Djokovic paid tribute to the two greats in the post-match presentation and said, "I have to pay a great tribute to Rafa and Roger. They are legends of our sport and the two most important players I faced in my career. They're the reason I am where I am today. They have helped me realise what I need to do to grow stronger mentally and physically and tactically. When I broke into the top 10 for the first time, I lost for the 3-4 years most of the big matches I played against these two guys and then something changed in 2010 and 2011."

The year 2021 ends with Djokovic, Nadal and Federer all tied at 20 Grand Slam titles each. While the race remains as fierce as ever among the trio on who will get to the record 21st Grand Slam title, the equation among the three stands out; giving a message to fans and acting as a source of inspiration.

On the other hand, Djokovic has equalled with Nadal and Federer in terms of most Grand Slam titles (20 each). While the trio remain the heartthrob of the tennis fraternity, there isn't much to separate among the famed trio. Nonetheless, the equation between them remains exemplary, giving a fine example of how rivals should conduct themselves off the court. Here's a video which captures some of the best moments among the trio -- Federer, Nadal and Djokovic × ALSO READ | Swiss maestro Roger Federer calls for evolution in player-media relationship The competition between them remains as fierce as it was few years back. Nonetheless, they never shy away from complimenting each other on their personal milestones. When Djokovic won the 2021 Wimbledon title, both Federer and Nadal showered praise on the Serbian great. Federer tweeted saying, "Congrats Novak on your 20th major. I'm proud to have the opportunity to play in a special era of tennis champions. Wonderful performance, well done!" Congrats Novak on your 20th major. I'm proud to have the opportunity to play in a special era of tennis champions. Wonderful performance, well done! — Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) July 11, 2021 × Meanwhile, Nadal also posted saying, "Congrats @DjokerNole on this amazing achievement. 20 Grand Slam titles is huge and it is amazing that we are 3 players tied on this. Well done and, again, congrats to you and your team for this!@Wimbledon" Congrats @DjokerNole on this amazing achievement. 20 Grand Slam titles is huge and it is amazing that we are 3 players tied on this.

They are legends of our sport and the two most important players I faced in my career. They're the reason I am where I am today. They have helped me realise what I need to do to grow stronger mentally and physically and tactically. When I broke into the top 10 for the first time, I lost for the 3-4 years most of the big matches I played against these two guys and then something changed in 2010 and 2011." The year 2021 ends with Djokovic, Nadal and Federer all tied at 20 Grand Slam titles each. While the race remains as fierce as ever among the trio on who will get to the record 21st Grand Slam title, the equation among the three stands out; giving a message to fans and acting as a source of inspiration.

West Indies and Bangladesh will lock horns with each other in match 23&nbsp;of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 edition, in the UAE, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah on Friday afternoon (October 29). Both sides have had a torrid start in the Super 12 round with back-to-back defeats and are running against time to revamp if they need to keep their campaigns alive.

West Indies started off against England, after losing both their warm-up games, and were humiliated as they folded for the third-lowest total in T20 WC history (55). After the 6-wicket loss to Eoin Morgan &amp; Co., Kieron Pollard-led Windies improved by some distance but managed only 143/8, only to lose the contest by 8 wickets to Temba Bavuma-led South Africa.

Bangla Tigers, on the other hand, had a good start to their opening fixture in the Super 12, by posting 171-4 versus Sri Lanka. Nonetheless, their bowlers couldn't finish the contest despite the Islanders reeling at 79-4 at one stage. Losing to Sri Lanka by 5 wickets, Bangladesh were mauled by England by 8 wickets in their second encounter.&nbsp;

Which team will show drastic improvement and get off the mark and who will be the one stranded with no win after the Bangladesh-Windies clash?

Match prediction for Bangladesh vs West Indies tie:&nbsp;Batting has become a lot easier in the T20 WC as compared to how it was in IPL 2021's final leg. The Sharjah pitch is now once again showing signs of having plenty for the batsmen. While it has not been a typical 200-plus high-scoring encounter, it has plenty for both batters and bowlers. Windies will be eager to get going with the bat after two terrible runs in Dubai surfaces. The world champions will, however, be desperate to get rid of Bangla Tigers' top-order and notch up their maiden win of the current edition.&nbsp;

A 170-plus contest is expected. Windies to get off the mark in Super 12 round on their third attempt?

Olympic silver medallist Ravi Dahiya wants to have the Arjuna Award before the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has said.

Indian athletes Neeraj Chopra, Ravi Dahiya and Lovlina Borgohain are set to be awarded the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award.

However, Ravi has shown his discomfort as he got automatically nominated for Khel Ratna Award despite filing his nomination for Arjuna Award.

"This is wrong with Ravi as he won a medal in Olympic but we have full faith that he will change the colour of a medal in gold at 2024 Olympics and when he himself wants Arjuna Award then why authorities are on to giving him Khel Ratna award," A WFI official told ANI.

35 players will be awarded the Arjuna Award. Among them are Yogesh Kathuniya, Nishad Kumar, Praveen Kumar, Suhas Yathiraj, Singhraj Adhana, Bhavina Patel, Harvinder Singh, and Sharad Kumar.&nbsp;

Pakistan and Afghanistan are meeting each other in match 24 of the T20 World Cup 2021 edition, in the UAE, during the Super 12 round. The two Asian sides have a good cricketing rivalry, but their 2019 ODI World Cup face-off led to heads being raised for all the wrong reasons.

During the high-intense Pakistan-Afghanistan face-off in the last edition of the ODI WC,&nbsp;a scuffle broke out between the fans of both cricketing teams outside the Headingley Cricket Stadium in Leeds. The ugly scenes took place after an aircraft was spotted flying above the stadium which carried the&nbsp;message - 'Justice for Balochistan'.

While the then Sarfaraz Ahmed-led Men in Green emerged on top of Afghanistan, in pursuit of a modest 227, courtesy Babar Azam, Imad Wasim's 49* and Shaheen Afridi's 4-fer, the match has recall value for all the wrong reasons as the fans from both sides crossed all boundaries and got involved in a scuffle.

Ahead of Pakistan-Afghanistan's clash in the T20 WC 2021, Rashid Khan urged fans to maintain decorum and not make a scene this time around. He told PTI, "After the 2019 World Cup match, whatever happened shouldn’t have happened. But this is the kind of request to all the fans, whatever there is that comes at the end, at the end of the day this game gives lots of unity to the nations and brings them together, not to have those kinds of accidents.

“Definitely it’s always a good game against Pakistan, even when we played in the 2018 in Asia (Cup). And also in terms of the 2019 World Cup. But this game should remain as a game. I think it’s a request to all the fans to stay cool and calm and just enjoy the game. This game is all about enjoyment.

“The more we just focus on the enjoyment, and as we have seen in this game, things happen, accidents happen. So I hope they remain cool and calm and just focus on enjoying the game and who plays better on the day that team wins,” he added.

Talking about both sides' campaigns so far in the T20 WC, Babar-led Pakistan top the Pool B with two wins in a row whereas Afghanistan also beat Scotland by a whopping 130-run margin in their opening fixture in Super 12.

Paris Saint-Germain star forward Kylian Mbappe has announced his desire to represent France on home soil at the Paris Olympics in 2024.

After not getting permission from his club to take part in Tokyo 2020, Mbappe has set eye on the gold medal in the next Games. The World Cup winner stated that he cannot miss out on the opportunity to represent his country in the Summer Games.

"It was while watching the London Olympics in 2012 that I realized the importance of this global competition. The Games are "THE" benchmark for sport, the absolute holy grail that all sportsmen and women in the world want to compete in and experience at least once in their life," Mbappe stated in an open letter published in L`Equipe as per goal.com.

Mbappe went on to explain how watching the London Games in 2012 inspired his dream of one day leading out France at the world`s biggest sporting event."That`s when I said to myself, I want to be there too. I want to experience the Paris Games. It`s a strong inner feeling, as if I were destined to participate in this huge celebration in my city, in my country, a hundred years after the last competition in France (the Summer Games).

PSG refused Mbappe permission to take part in the delayed 2020 Games in Tokyo, along with Brazil duo Neymar and Marquinhos, arguing that it would disrupt pre-season preparations following his participation in Euro 2020 earlier in the summer.

"Already, in 2020, for the Tokyo games, I wanted to participate, it was an objective but they quickly pulled the rug out from under my feet," he said of missing out on the competition."

Neeraj Chopra became the heartthrob of the nation ever since he won gold for India in the men's javelin final in the Tokyo 2020 Games. It was India's first-ever Olympic medal in athletics and, hence, the 23-year-old has seen his popularity grow to an immense level.&nbsp;

Neeraj also became only the second Indian to win an Olympic gold, after shooter Abhinav Bindra, as he has inspired a generation with many young kids becoming his fan. Recently, Neeraj's interaction&nbsp;with young kids at Panipat Sports Stadium has gone viral on Twitter as well.

During his interaction with one of the kids, a young girl adorably told him that "Mere favourite toh aap hi ho (You are my favourite)". To this, the javelin thrower had one of the most adorable reactions as he gently patted the girl's cheeks before interacting any further. The video of the same was shared by&nbsp;IPS officer Pankaj Nain on social media.

Neeraj has come a long way post his Olympic success. The athlete is coming back from a much-needed vacation, in Maldives, and will now look to move past his resounding success and aim for more glory for his country. The challenge for him will be to perform amid huge expectations. Nonetheless, he seems mature enough to handle pressure at such a young age and, hopefully, is destined for more historic triumphs.
