IPL 2020, SRH vs KXIP Preview: Strugglers look to find form in Dubai

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming on Wednesday hit out at CSK’s batting performance against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday as the three-time <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">IPL</a> winners lost by 10 runs despite being in control of the chase during the half-way mark of the second innings.&nbsp;

"The performances like today, with the experience we've got, we should put it away," CSK coach Stephen Fleming said in the post-match presser on Wednesday.

"Ideally, you want one batsman to bat through. If you give an opening to an IPL team, they've got quality players to take it. Today with Narine holding overs back, it made it very difficult in the end.

"You are looking at players going on and making 75 or more and continue that partnership for five more overs, the game would have been a lot more different. KKR hung in there and put pressure on us. We couldn't accelerate in the end. We are disappointed that we let it slip," Fleming added.

Chasing 168, Super Kings were running away with the match at 101 for 2 in 13 overs. However, with just 57 runs required off 42 balls, the batters simply brought down the current run-rate with the likes of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy troubling the batters. CSK were ultimately restricted to 157/5 as they managed just 20 runs from 10th to 15th over.&nbsp;

"We've got a lot of batsmen so the balance is good with six bowlers. Bravo is batting at No. 8 and we are struggling to use him so we don't think an extra batsman is going to help," he said.

"Sam Curran was also very good. Our challenge is that our two allrounders are going very well, Watson and Faf are doing well, so it's very hard to fit in an international bowler in that group. We are relying heaving on our Indian bowlers. We've got a pretty good balance.”

CSK now have two wins off six matches so far in IPL 2020 and could be in huge trouble if they can’t stitch a few wins together.

IPL 2020: 'We let it slip' - Stephen Fleming hits out at CSK's batting performance against KKR

Kolkata turned things around to beat Chennai by 10 runs in Match 21 of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">IPL 2020</a>, at Abu Dhabi. At one point, Chennai needed 78 in the last 10 overs with 9 wickets in hand, but they managed only 20 off the next 5 overs despite losing only 2 wickets, and eventually finished short.

Discussing the outcome in the My11 Circle Cricbuzz Live, Simon Doull summarised that Chennai “had snatched defeat from the jaws of victory;” Gaurav Kapur called the effort a “botched chase;” and Joy Bhattacharjya described the approach as “un-Chennai-like”.

Kedar Jadhav came out when Chennai needed to score 39 in 21 balls, and was neither able to get the ball away for boundaries nor rotate the strike, taking 12 balls for an unbeaten 7. Bhattacharjya called Jadhav’s outing a “shocker of an innings”, expressing his surprise over Chennai investing INR 78 million in him.

Doull also lauded Kolkata’s approach while fielding: “Their strategy on the field almost seemed to pay off completely. They left [Sunil] Narine, they held him back”. Bhattacharjya questioned the decision to hold Narine back, given his “brilliant track record” against Chennai opener Shane Watson, while lauding Varun Chakravarthy’s courage to toss the ball up to MS Dhoni even in the 17th over. Coming on to bowl as late as in the 12th over, Narine finished with 4-0-31-1. Chakravarthy had 4-0-28-1.

Doull also had high praise for Kolkata’s use of Andre Russell: “Save him for the back end, just one or two overs … when the side’s under pressure, and he has done the job again”. Kapur mentioned Russell’s ability to shock batsmen with 140-kmph bumpers.

Earlier in the day, Kolkata were bowled out for 167, with only Rahul Tripathi (81 in 51 balls) scoring more than 17(Second highest score). Kapur called him the “lynchpin” of the Kolkata effort, the only one for Kolkata “who checked in with the bat”. However, Doull pointed out that they should have got about 185, given their rollicking start. After racing to 70/1 in 8 overs, they got only 97 in the last 12.

Bhattacharjya recommended Kolkata opened with Tripathi instead of Narine. He mentioned that Tripathi might not be as successful against genuinely quick bowlers like Kagiso Rabada or Jasprit Bumrah, but then, as he pointed, the same holds for Narine, Kolkata’s other option at the top.

Stefanos Tsitsipas insists he's "chasing something spectacular" at Roland Garros as he attempts to become the first Greek to win a Grand Slam title.

The 22-year-old reached the semi-finals in Paris for the first time on Wednesday with an impressive 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 win over Russia's Andrey Rublev.

Tsitsipas made his big breakthrough at the 2019 Australian Open where he defeated Roger Federer on his way to a maiden last-four spot at the Slams.

However, he hasn't kicked on at the majors with a last-16 exit in Paris last season followed by first round defeats at Wimbledon and the US Open.

He was a surprise champion at the ATP Finals in London at the back end of 2019 before third round exits in Melbourne and New York when he returned to 2020 duty at the Slams.

"I'm chasing something spectacular," said world number six Tsitsipas, the youngest player in the top 10.

Now with two runs to the last four at the Slams, Tsitsipas believes his time is near despite the stranglehold over the majors exercised by Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.

"I would like to tell you that I'm not a NextGen player any more. I'm a proper adult," he said.

"Second of all, for sure it's going to come at some point. The big three have been there for a long time.&nbsp;I don't feel like it's going to be the same in five, six years' time, I believe."

Since dropping the first two sets of his opener in Paris against Spain's Jaume Munar, the Greek has been on an impressive run, winning 15 sets in succession.

Should he go all the way and lift the title on Sunday, he would be the youngest men's Grand Slam champion since Juan Martin del Potro at the US Open in 2009.

However, to get there, he will probably have to defeat world number one Djokovic in the semi-final and 12-time champion Nadal in the final.

Cristiano Ronaldo hit the crossbar as Portugal and Spain played out a goalless draw in a compelling friendly in Lisbon on Wednesday.&nbsp;

Ronaldo and Renato Sanchez both struck the woodwork for Portugal, who then should have won it in injury-time only for Joao Felix to miskick at the back post.&nbsp;

Spain were the better team early on at the Jose Alvalade stadium and also went close through Dani Olmo but neither side were able to claim victory ahead of upcoming games in the Nations League.

"I think we were better than Portugal," said Spain coach Luis Enrique. "We dominated the game. For sure they had two shots on the break that hit the bar and one that Kepa saved but we had chances as well."&nbsp;

Both sit top of their Nations League groups, Portugal with maximum points after beating Croatia and Sweden while Spain have four after thrashing Ukraine and drawing with Germany.&nbsp;

Spain go up against Switzerland on Saturday before playing against Ukraine three days later. Portugal face world champions France on Sunday and then play at home to Sweden.&nbsp;

During the first half, it was also announced by the football federations of the two countries they will stage a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup.&nbsp;

They will be competing against Morocco, as well as another joint bid from Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile.&nbsp;

The last time Spain and Portugal met was for the thrilling 3-3 draw at the 2018 World Cup, when Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, including a stunning late equaliser from a free-kick.&nbsp;

This was a far less dramatic contest, with both teams still rebuilding ahead of next year's postponed European Championships.&nbsp;

It was the first time Spain had failed to score since losing to&nbsp;Italy&nbsp;at the 2016 European Championships in France.

Luis Enrique fielded an experimental eleven, which included Chelsea's struggling goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, Manchester City's 19-year-old central defender Eric Garcia and the newly called-up Sergio Canales in midfield.&nbsp;

For Portugal, the 20-year-old Francisco Trincao, who has just joined Barcelona, started in a front three with Ronaldo and Andre Silva.&nbsp;

Spain enjoyed a superb opening quarter of an hour but had nothing to show for it, as Gerard Moreno missed from close range and Olmo volleyed wide.&nbsp;

Portugal went closest in the second half. Ronaldo shifted onto his left foot and thundered a shot against the crossbar. He then turned provider, curving a pass right to Renato, whose effort also crashed against the frame and bounced out.

The best chance though fell to Felix in injury-time, the ball finding him free at the back post, only for the youngster to slide and somehow fail to connect.

Lewis Hamilton will be seeking, at the second attempt, to equal Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 wins while the seven-time champion German's son&nbsp;Mick is set to make his F1 debut in Friday's opening practice with Alfa Romeo.

Alongside them, Sebastian Vettel – the last winner at the historic venue in 2013 – will be bidding to avoid any banana skins as he embarks on his closing chapter with Ferrari, having admitted on Wednesday that his spell with the Italian team has been a failure.

All three men and the rest of the travelling F1 circus are expected to face severely cold conditions with rain and low temperatures forecast for the weekend's inaugural Eifel Grand Prix.

For Hamilton, there is more at stake than a chance to claim another record as he presses on in pursuit of equalling Schumacher’s haul of seven drivers' championships.

After his disappointment at the Russian Grand Prix, where he was handed two controversial five-second penalties on his way to a fighting third and a subsequent outburst, in which he claimed there was a conspiracy to slow him down, he will be seeking to reclaim his dominance and dignity.

Like Vettel, he is a former winner at the track which, in a previous incarnation as the feared ‘Nordschleife’, witnessed the birth of the ‘Silver Arrows’ in 1934, when Manfred von Brauchitsch won the International Eifel Race.

Hamilton triumphed in 2011 with McLaren, powered by a Mercedes engine, but he has not claimed victory in the Eifel mountains since joining the current Mercedes works team.

Mercedes have registered only one F1 win at the venue – delivered on the daunting ‘old’ circuit by Juan-Manuel Fangio in 1954 – and may not find it easy this weekend despite their absolute dominance since the start of this Covid-19 affected season.

Hamilton goes into the race with a 44-point lead in the drivers’ title race ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas, who won in Sochi two weeks ago and remains determined to close the gap on the six-time champion.

"I won't give up and we'll keep pushing,” he said, mindful that Hamilton is expected to react to his testy defeat in Russia, since when the defending champion has kept a low profile, with a typically inspired display.

<h2>- 'Surreal' -</h2>

&nbsp;

Formula Two championship leader Mick Schumacher will not be the only one of Ferrari’s junior drivers in action at the German circuit as his rival and colleague Briton Callum Ilott is due to drive for Haas on Friday morning.

Schumacher, 21, said it will be a special experience to make his debut on home German soil. He leads Ilott in the F2 title race and both will be vying to impress in the hope of landing an F1 seat next year.

Ahead of his debut, Vettel gave Schumacher a warm welcome. "It was surreal to see him in his father’s Ferrari at Mugello," he said. “He is just a nice young man and, knowing who his father is, and what he meant to me, it was very special.

"This situation is very difficult for him, but I think he is coping with it in a mature way for someone so young.”

Schumacher added: “It looks like it is going to be wet – every time I test a new car, it is always wet! I hope I can do a few laps and do my best.”

Vettel, who regarded Michael Schumacher as his racing hero, said he had failed at Ferrari because he failed to win a title. “That was my mission,” he said. “So, I have failed. I didn’t manage to do that.”

His former team Red Bull are likely to mount the main challenge to Hamilton and Bottas, in their 2020 ‘black arrows’ cars, with Max Verstappen leading the way just days after engine-suppliers Honda announced they will withdraw from F1 next year.

Hamilton resumes record trail on F1's Nurburgring return

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/premier-league">Premier League</a> chief executive Richard Masters has pleaded with the government to rethink its stadium supporter ban, calling for football to be treated "fairly".

Matches at the end of last season in the English top-flight and the beginning of the new campaign have been played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus crisis.

Plans to pilot a limited return of fans from October 1 were shelved last month due to tighter lockdown measures following a surge in cases of Covid-19 in Britain.

Masters told The Times newspaper that he welcomed the return of audiences to concert venues but said football stadiums should be included.

"It's good news that (concert) venues can run socially distanced events indoors, it gives them a lifeline," he said. "We are starting to see the return of the paying spectator at a ticketed event and we just believe that football should be allowed to do the same.

"We do understand why caution is needed but what we are asking for is consistency from government so that sport is treated as fairly as other activities."

"We are a highly regulated environment. We have the Sports Grounds Safety Authority in place to ensure that supporters are safe at all times and we're outdoors in a highly stewarded environment. What we really need is clarity for our clubs and supporters and a road map from government."

Masters said Premier League clubs were facing a number of tough challenges including the scrapping of the October return date for fans, expectations to help clubs lower down the pyramid and the frustration of seeing entertainment arenas close to football grounds reopen with no "roadmap" for the return of supporters.

Masters cited the example of the Bundesliga, which has allowed limited number of fans back depending on local virus rates, as one that clubs could potentially follow.

"The government is managing the country around local conditions so we have to be flexible in that respect," he said.

"We have been in regular conversation with our German counterparts and we are aware of how it's working and how it is not working for some clubs where the numbers are higher.

"Like everything, you have to start somewhere and just to do it would be fantastic. Football needs its voice back, we need fans back in the stadiums to provide that missing ingredient.

"Having fans back, even if it is not exclusively across the league, has given German football a massive boost."

Vini Zabu-KTM cyclist Luka Wackermann was rushed to hospital after the rider collided with a set of barriers that fell into the final kilometer of the course and it was reported that a race helicopter blew the barriers into the road after flying too low.

The rider was left with a series of serious injuries at Giro d’Italia after a helicopter blew barriers into the road on Stage 4. The Italian ProTour team confirmed the injuries to Wackermann that included head and face abrasions, fracture to nasal bones, contusions to the face and spine, and cuts on right knee.&nbsp;

Van Empel tweeted after the incident 'I am okay. Only some small cuts on my fingers. Not really sure what happened but out of nowhere the barriers flew into our group. For now, my thought is with my teammate Luca and hope some good news will arrive soon.'

Former Australian cricketer Dean Jones was given a tribute at a small, private funeral over the weekend including a lap of the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground as videos went viral on social media platforms on Wednesday.

One of the icons of one-day cricket, Jones, 59, passed away last month after suffering a cardiac arrest at a hotel in Mumbai India, where was working as pundit for host broadcaster.

A hearse carrying Jones’ handmade Indian coffin, which was adorned with the Australian flag and floral ‘324’ – his Australian Test cap number – drove a lap around the empty MCG with Elton John’s ‘Rockey Man’ playing over loudspeakers.

Jones’ wife Jane, daughters Isabella and Phoebe along with his siblings were part of a small group at the ceremony.&nbsp; 
The state of Victoria, of which Melbourne is the capital, has limited funeral services to 10 people amid COVID-19 restrictions.&nbsp;

“We have been deeply moved by the outpouring of love for Dean over the last week and can’t thank everyone enough for their support and for sharing their memories with us,” Jane Jones said in comments published by Australian media.&nbsp;

“It has been an awful time to navigate as a family, but I could not have thought of a more fitting place to say goodbye to my husband.”

Jones, known lovingly as ‘Professor Deano’ by the cricket community, played 52 Tests and 164 ODIs, and will forever be regarded as the one to have changed the way ODI cricket is played. He was one of the successful members of Alan Border’s Australian side.

Former Australian cricketer Dean Jones was given a tribute at a small, private funeral over the weekend including a lap of the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground as videos went viral on social media platforms on Wednesday. One of the icons of one-day cricket, Jones, 59, passed away last month after suffering a cardiac arrest at a hotel in Mumbai India, where was working as pundit for host broadcaster. A hearse carrying Jones’ handmade Indian coffin, which was adorned with the Australian flag and floral ‘324’ – his Australian Test cap number – drove a lap around the empty MCG with Elton John’s ‘Rockey Man’ playing over loudspeakers. Jones’ wife Jane, daughters Isabella and Phoebe along with his siblings were part of a small group at the ceremony. The state of Victoria, of which Melbourne is the capital, has limited funeral services to 10 people amid COVID-19 restrictions.
