Delhi Capitals on Sunday defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 17 runs in the Qualifier 2 of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League</a>, played in Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. With the win, DC seal their place in the final of IPL 2020 where they will face defending champions Mumbai Indians on November 10 in Dubai. Delhi Capitals successfully defended 188-run total on the scoreboard and were almost at the top of Sunrisers Hyderabad during the course of the match.

After opting to bat first, Delhi Capitals were off to a fine start courtesy Shikhar Dhawan and his new opening partner Marcus Stoinis as the duo stitched an 86-run opening stand. While Stoinis perished for 38, Dhawan continued the run-flow and scored a crisp 78 off 50 deliveries. DC skipper Shreyas Iyer continued his cold form of run as he scored a 20-ball 21. However, it was due to Shimron Hetmyer’s late flourish that Delhi Capitals went on to post 189/3 in 20 overs. The West Indian southpaw hammered a blistering 22-ball 42 not-out.

While it was not the perfect outing for SRH bowlers, T Natarajan impressed with the ball and his yorkers as he conceded 32 off his four overs. Rashid Khan, as usual, was terrific with the ball, conceding 26 off his four-over quota.

Chasing 189, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost David Warner for 2 as Kagiso Rabada cleaned him up with a peach of a delivery. Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg hung around for a bit and played some great strokes but the duo was dismissed for 21 and 17 respectively.

Even Jason Holder was dismissed for 11 by a clever Axar Patel. However, an in-form Kane Williamson showed his class and went on to smash a terrific half-century to take the game deep.&nbsp;

Young Abdul Samad partnered Kane Williamson perfectly to help SRH remain in the game while scoring some attractive strokes but failed to take them over the line. Kagiso Rabada was too hot too handle for SRH’s lower-middle order as DC sealed a good win to set-up the final with MI.

Manchester United eased some pressure on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the Red Devils defeated Everton 3-1 on Sunday. Solksjaer had been under the pump due to United’s lacklustre start to the season as they hit a new low after their shock defeat in UEFA Champions League against Istanbul Basaksehir in the midweek.

With three wins in seven <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/premier-league">Premier League</a> matches, United are still in the bottom half of the Premier League table but defender Harry Maguire feels Solskjaer and United don’t deserve so much criticism.&nbsp;

Insisting United's critics resent the club's past success, Maguire said: "At this club one thing I've noticed in my time here - I've been here a year and a half - is we are the most talked-about club in the world.

"Why? Because we are the biggest club in the world. People don't want us to do well. Why? Probably because of the success we've had in the past.

After the completion of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, Indian cricket team will embark on a new journey to Australia with a full-fledged series awaiting Virat Kohli and Co Down Under. There are plenty of talks surrounding the quarantine protocols in Australia, whether the players will be allowed to train during the self-isolation phase, among other pointers.&nbsp;

According to a report, the Indian team will start practising for the series in Australia as soon as they test negative for COVID-19 after arriving on November 12. By all means, the Men in Blue should commence their training from November 13.&nbsp;

"The team reaches Australia on November 12 morning and after that, they will undergo corona tests and the moment they have negative reports, they are eligible to train so you can expect the boys to start training from November 13 onwards," sources privy to the development told ANI.

The Indian team is also expected to play a couple of intra-squad matches in a bid to adapt to the pitches and conditions in Australia after spending more than two months in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in the UAE.

Like the IPL and other international series, a bio-secure bubble will be created for both Indian and Australian teams. Families will be allowed to join the players in the bubble as well after a few players raised concerns about staying away from families for close to two months due to IPL.&nbsp;

The Indian squad will prepare for the day-night Test against Australia in Adelaide in what will be the curtain-raiser for the four-match Test series.&nbsp;

India and Australia will play three ODIs, as many T20Is, and four Tests. The Test series will be a part of the World Test Championship.

AUS vs IND: Team India to start training in Sydney from November 10

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is all set to come to a conclusion on November 10, with the final scheduled to be played in Dubai. While there were many high-octane matches, it took all 56 league matches to determine the final four teams of the IPL 2020 for the playoffs. With league stage successfully done and dusted, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar picked his best IPL 2020 XI.

However, there were some big-names missing from Manjrekar’s IPL 2020 XI.&nbsp;

IPL 2020 is being held completely outside India, in the UAE, amid the COVID-19 pandemic with the entire tournament being staged behind closed doors.&nbsp;

There have been many great performances in IPL 2020 be it the cracking form of young Devdutt Padikkal or Suryakumar Yadav’s scintillating form with the bat. The bowlers, too, have impressed in the lucrative tournament as they made the most out of the longer boundaries in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Reviewing the entire IPL 2020, Manjrekar kept the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out of his IPL 2020 XI, largely due to the fact that the Indian duo has blown hot and cold throughout the IPL 2020.&nbsp;

<h2>Suryakumar Yadav over Virat Kohli</h2>

In a conversation with ESPNcricinfo, Manjrekar went with KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal as his opening pair while opting Suryakumar Yadav over Kohli for the number three spot.&nbsp;

“My No. 3 is Suryakumar Yadav, which is great for someone like him to have made it to this IPL XI. He bats at No. 3 and I don’t think any No. 3 has batted as well and as consistently as he’s done. It’s not just about runs and consistency but also about the quality of shots as well that he’s played,” Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo backing Suryakumar's inclusion.

Continuing his IPL 2020 XI, Manjrekar picked AB de Villiers, Nicholas Pooran, Axar Patel with Rashid Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal being his automatic pics for the XI.

The UK government on Sunday relented anew to a vocal campaign by Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, promising to give free meals to poorer children over the coronavirus-afflicted Christmas holidays and beyond.

After one U-turn already for the summer holidays, the government has dropped its opposition to extending the scheme over the festive period, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Rashford on Saturday to brief him on his new spending commitment.

The 23-year-old striker received the call after he played in Manchester United's 3-1 Premier League win over Everton.&nbsp;

In a statement, Rashford said "I had a good conversation with the prime minister to better understand the proposed plan, and I very much welcome the steps that have been taken to combat child food poverty in the UK".

The footballer, who grew up impoverished himself, said he was "so proud" of those who had united behind his campaign on social media, promising to "fight for the rest of my life" to end child hunger in Britain.

In recognition of his widely praised campaign, Rashford was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in Queen Elizabeth II's latest honours list last month, and he sports the title proudly on his Twitter feed.

The economic fallout from the virus outbreak is pushing more British families into poverty, leaving many unable to afford essentials such as food and heating.&nbsp;

Poorer children are guaranteed free meals during school term-time, but not in the holidays. The government had resisted giving out meal vouchers to tide their families over, preferring to offer support via its wider benefits system.

But Rashford's campaign has struck a chord with many, especially with Christmas coming up, and the government has been confronted with regular headlines accusing it of being heartless.&nbsp;

New funds of £170 million ($225 million) will pay for a winter grant scheme to support families over Christmas, and will be extended to cover the Easter, summer and Christmas breaks in 2021, Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey announced.

"We want to make sure vulnerable people feel cared for throughout this difficult time and, above all, no one should go hungry or be unable to pay their bills this winter," she said.

The UK government on Sunday relented anew to a vocal campaign by Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, promising to give free meals to poorer children over the coronavirus-afflicted Christmas holidays and beyond.

The UK government on Sunday relented anew to a vocal campaign by Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, promising to give free meals to poorer children over the coronavirus-afflicted Christmas holidays and beyond. After one U-turn already for the summer holidays, the government has dropped its opposition to extending the scheme over the festive period, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Rashford on Saturday to brief him on his new spending commitment. The 23-year-old striker received the call after he played in Manchester United's 3-1 Premier League win over Everton. In a statement, Rashford said "I had a good conversation with the prime minister to better understand the proposed plan, and I very much welcome the steps that have been taken to combat child food poverty in the UK". The footballer, who grew up impoverished himself, said he was "so proud" of those who had united behind his campaign on social media, promising to "fight for the rest of my life" to end child hunger in Britain. In recognition of his widely praised campaign, Rashford was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in Queen Elizabeth II's latest honours list last month, and he sports the title proudly on his Twitter feed. The economic fallout from the virus outbreak is pushing more British families into poverty, leaving many unable to afford essentials such as food and heating. Poorer children are guaranteed free meals during school term-time, but not in the holidays. The government had resisted giving out meal vouchers to tide their families over, preferring to offer support via its wider benefits system. But Rashford's campaign has struck a chord with many, especially with Christmas coming up, and the government has been confronted with regular headlines accusing it of being heartless. New funds of £170 million ($225 million) will pay for a winter grant scheme to support families over Christmas, and will be extended to cover the Easter, summer and Christmas breaks in 2021, Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey announced. "We want to make sure vulnerable people feel cared for throughout this difficult time and, above all, no one should go hungry or be unable to pay their bills this winter," she said.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly has said that the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a> 2021 is all set to be played in the months of April and May with India hosting the lucrative T20 tournament. The ongoing edition of IPL (2020) was shifted to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is being held behind closed doors but the BCCI president has now confirmed that the 14th edition of IPL will be back in India.&nbsp;

There were plenty of speculations surrounding IPL 2021 and many suggested that it could be held once again in the UAE due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in India. However, Ganguly has quashed the reports saying that India will host IPL 2021. The BCCI president further said that India will also host England in 2021 while additionally hosting the Ranji Trophy – India’s premium domestic tournament – in the country.

“Yeah, absolutely. April, May we’ll have another one [IPL 2021 season],” Ganguly told India Today.

“We’ll be fine. We’ll be fine. ISL starting in November in Goa, we’ll be fine. The scare, that is not there anymore and the IPL has helped a lot,” Ganguly added.

The former Indian captain further lavished praise on the quality of cricket in the IPL. Without downplaying other T20 leagues in the world, Ganguly said IPL is in the different league and the craze of the fans along with the quality of cricket take the T20 tournament to a whole different level.

India to host IPL, England and Ranji Trophy in 2021: Sourav Ganguly

Continuing the limited-overs series, Pakistan are set to take on Zimbabwe in the second T20I of the three-match series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Pakistan have a 1-0 lead in the T20I series after winning the ODI series 2-1.&nbsp;

Zimbabwe’s tour of Pakistan has produced a couple of nail-biting matches including a Super Over and the second T20I between Pakistan and Zimbabwe promises another thrilling contest in Rawalpindi.&nbsp;

While Zimbabwe have put up competitive performances against Pakistan, the Men in Green have been mostly dominating with the likes of Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi shining with the bat and ball respectively. Young Mohammad Hasnain also produced some magic with the ball as he had picked up a five-fer in the ODI series.&nbsp;

All eyes will be on Zimbabwe as neutrals would be hoping for a close contest after a one-sided affair in the first T20I.

Rafael Nadal said he had enjoyed a "positive tournament" at the Paris Masters as he gears up for his latest tilt at a first ATP Tour Finals triumph, despite losing to Alexander Zverev on Saturday.

The top seed slumped to a 6-4, 7-5 loss to Zverev in the semi-finals at Bercy Arena, but said his run this week would help him at the season-ending event in London, which starts on November 15.

"It has been a positive tournament for me. Of course not happy about the loss, but that's part of the game," said Nadal, who has also never won the Paris Masters.

"I spent hours on court. Of course I wanted to win the tournament, but it's always difficult.

"But I had the right attitude during the whole event, I think, fighting in every match.

"That gave me the chance to play four matches that I think will be helpful for London. I need to adjust a couple of things, but I am doing well on all the important things."

The Spaniard, playing for the first time since winning a record-extending 13th French Open title across Paris at Roland Garros last month, was never at his best on the indoor hard courts.

He claimed his 1,000th career win with a comeback victory over Feliciano Lopez in the second round and also had to fight back from a set down to beat Pablo Carreno Busta in the quarter-finals.

Nadal has only won one of his 86 ATP titles on indoor hard courts and that success came in Madrid over 15 years ago.

"I need to find a better feeling with the backhand on this surface, because when I hit the ball sometimes I feel that I can miss it," he admitted.

"To compete at this highest level, sometimes it's a little bit tougher."

Nadal 'positive' ahead of ATP Finals despite Zverev loss

Robert Lewandowski scored his 11th goal in just his sixth Bundesliga game this season as Bayern Munich went top of the table on Saturday with a 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund.

"In the end, we deserved the win and such victories are doubly important for us," said midfielder Leon Goretzka as Bayern saw off their rivals.

After Marco Reus had put Dortmund ahead, David Alaba blasted home a free-kick to make it 1-1 at half-time behind closed doors at Signal Iduna Park.

Lewandowski gave Bayern the lead with a superb header early in the second half before Leroy Sane grabbed the visitors' third.&nbsp;

Erling Braut Haaland gave Dortmund hope with a late goal, but was left to regret earlier misses.

"I have to score more goals, if we don't put our chances away at this level, then we won't win," said Haaland, who converted one of four shots on goal.

"They are the best team in the world and we have to work harder to take the next step to be as good as them".

The 32-year-old Lewandowski could have finished with a hat-trick against his former club after also having two goals disallowed by the VAR.

The win leaves Bayern two points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig with Dortmund third, three points behind Munich.&nbsp;

<h2>- Kimmich injury -</h2>

The away win could have come at a cost, however, as Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich had to be helped off in clear distress with a first-half knee injury.

"I think his knee got overstretched, it didn't look good," admitted Goretzka.

After the hosts made a bright start with Haaland firing wide, Lewandowski's effort on 24 minutes was ruled out by the VAR who spotted the Poland star offside in the build up.

Dortmund took the lead on 45 minutes when centre-half Mats Hummels sent a superb pass down the left flank for Jadon Sancho.

The England winger played Raphael Guerreiro into the area to provide the final pass which Reus fired home.

However, Bayern levelled four minutes later.

After Dortmund's midfield enforcer Thomas Delaney brought down Serge Gnarby on the edge of the area, Alaba blasted home a superb free-kick to make it 1-1 at the break.

Haaland fired wide at the start of the second half, just before Lewandowski powered home his header from a pin-point Lucas Herandez cross to put Bayern 2-1 up on 48 minutes.

Bayern had their tails up and Kingsley Coman's shot crashed off the post soon after.

Sane looked to have put the game beyond Dortmund when he cut inside, beat two defenders and fired home ten minutes from time.

However, Haaland fired home from a tight angle to give Dortmund hope while Reus volleyed wide with the goal at his mercy.

Lewandowski had the ball in the Dortmund net once more just before the whistle, only to again be denied by the VAR.

<h2>- Leipzig down Freiburg -</h2>

Earlier, RB Leipzig were impressive in their 3-0 home win over Freiburg.

Defender Ibrahima&nbsp;Konate fired home Leipzig's opener before midfielder Marcel Sabitzer added their second goal with a 70th-minute penalty.

Manchester City loanee Angelino claimed the third with a stunning free-kick which curled over the Freiburg wall just before the final whistle.

"We really deserved the win - we were very, very good in the first-half," said Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Union Berlin climbed to fourth with a 5-0 home thrashing of strugglers Arminia Bielefeld.

Former Germany striker Max Kruse helped set up Union's first three goals, then converted a late penalty.

Bottom side Mainz were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Schalke, who sit one place above them and have now gone 23 games without a league win dating back to January.

After five games without a win, Hertha Berlin roared back with a 3-0 victory in the fog at Augsburg.

Forwards Matheus Cunha, Dodi Lukebakio and Krzysztof Piatek, who cost Hertha 24 million euros ($28 million) from AC Milan in January, got on the scoresheet.

Lewandowski strikes as Bayern Munich down Dortmund to go top

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described the scheduling of Manchester United's match against Everton on Saturday as an "absolute joke" as Chelsea pummelled Sheffield United 4-1 to climb to third in the Premier League.

United eased the pressure on their under-fire manager with a 3-1 win in the early kick-off at Goodison Park but the Norwegian vented his fury at league chiefs after picking up fresh injuries.

Crystal Palace beat Leeds 4-1 to make it three defeats in four for Marcelo Bielsa's men before Frank Lampard's Chelsea came from behind thump Sheffield United by the same scoreline.

The main focus on Saturday was on whether United could bounce back after successive defeats, which raised fresh doubts over Solskjaer's position at the club.

United only returned from their embarrassing Champions League loss against Istanbul Basaksehir in the early hours of Thursday yet had to kick off at Goodison Park at 12:30 pm on Saturday.

Bruno Fernandes scored twice and new signing Edinson Cavani opened his account as United came from behind to beat the early-season pacesetters.

But Solskjaer blamed the quick turnaround for injuries to Luke Shaw (hamstring), Victor Lindelof (back) and Marcus Rashford (shoulder).

"How can you expect players to perform to the best of their ability when you send them out at 12:30? Absolute joke," he said.

"Our players were set up to fail today with the schedule," he added. "I pushed my club to really fight the kick-off time on this one to give us at least half a chance but it was quashed."

United, who started the match a lowly 15th in the table, showed grit and style as they recovered from going behind to a Bernard goal in the 19th minute.

Fernandes was the standout player for the 20-times champions, thriving in a creative midfield role in the absence of the benched Paul Pogba.

The Portuguese powered a header from a Luke Shaw cross past a flailing Jordan Pickford and scored again when an intended cross for Rashford was missed by the England international and the ball crept in off the far post.

Former Paris Saint-Germain striker Cavani made the points safe with a goal deep into stoppage time.

The victory at the home of Carlo Ancelotti's team was United's seventh straight Premier League away win -- in sharp contrast to their woeful home form.

Everton, who topped the Premier League table earlier this season, have now suffered three consecutive league defeats.

<h2>- Chelsea romp -</h2>

&nbsp;

Chelsea have hit their stride after their expensive summer rebuild and are now just one point behind Southampton and Liverpool, who play Manchester City on Sunday.

Lampard's team, now unbeaten in six Premier League matches, went behind early at Stamford Bridge when David McGoldrick's neat flick put Sheffield United in front.

But they hit back quickly, with England forward Tammy Abraham slotting home from Mateo Kovacic's cutback, and Ben Chilwell put Chelsea in front just past the half-hour.

Brazilian veteran Thiago Silva bagged his first Chelsea goal to put the Blues 3-1 up before Timo Werner blasted past Aaron Ramsdale to put the home side in total control.

"We are third," a delighted Lampard told Sky Sports. "The players are the ones who deliver and deserve that first credit. They were amazing, all of them today. The balance of the team was good and it's nice to see. We must continue. I really enjoyed watching it but I know how football is."

Leeds' fine start to their first top-flight season after a 16-year absence is fading fast as they conceded four for the second time in a week at Crystal Palace.

Goals from Scott Dann and Eberechi&nbsp;Eze gave Palace a 2-0 lead before Patrick Bamford pulled one back. But an own goal from Leeds winger Helder Costa restored the home side's two-goal cushion and Jordan Ayew completed the rout in the second half.

There was late drama as West Ham beat Fulham 1-0 at the London Stadium.

Tomas Soucek scored the only goal in stoppage time, but the Hammers were grateful to a shocking penalty miss from Ademola Lookman with the last kick of the game to take all three points.

Lookman tried a 'Panenka' but scuffed his shot and Lukasz Fabianski had time to get back to his feet and save.

Brazilian veteran Thiago Silva bagged his first Chelsea goal to put the Blues 3-1 up before Timo Werner blasted past Aaron Ramsdale to put the home side in total control. "We are third," a delighted Lampard told Sky Sports. "The players are the ones who deliver and deserve that first credit. They were amazing, all of them today. The balance of the team was good and it's nice to see. We must continue. I really enjoyed watching it but I know how football is." Leeds' fine start to their first top-flight season after a 16-year absence is fading fast as they conceded four for the second time in a week at Crystal Palace. Goals from Scott Dann and Eberechi Eze gave Palace a 2-0 lead before Patrick Bamford pulled one back. But an own goal from Leeds winger Helder Costa restored the home side's two-goal cushion and Jordan Ayew completed the rout in the second half. There was late drama as West Ham beat Fulham 1-0 at the London Stadium. Tomas Soucek scored the only goal in stoppage time, but the Hammers were grateful to a shocking penalty miss from Ademola Lookman with the last kick of the game to take all three points. Lookman tried a 'Panenka' but scuffed his shot and Lukasz Fabianski had time to get back to his feet and save.
