Jamaica shocked Canada 3-2 on Tuesday to reach the semifinals of the CONCACAF Nations League and seal a place at next year's expanded Copa America taking place in the United States. A second-half brace from Shamar Nicholson and a late Bobby Reid penalty handed the Reggae Boyz a stunning second leg upset at Toronto's BMO Field that sent the Jamaicans through on away goals after the tie finished 4-4 on aggregate.

Canada, who won the away leg 2-1 in Kingston on Saturday, had looked to be heading towards the last four after Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies put them 1-0 up on the night, 3-1 on aggregate after 25 minutes. But Jamaica hit back in the second half with Nicholson's shot into the bottom corner making it 1-1 after 62 minutes.

Four minutes later Nicholson made it 2-1 -- and level on aggregate -- sliding home a close-range finish after a sweeping Jamaican counterattack. Yet there was more drama moments later when Ismael Kone headed home an equalizer that left the Canadians ahead on aggregate.

However Canada's relief was short-lived. On 75 minutes Stephen Eustaquio was adjudged to have handled in the area and Bobby Reid stepped up to calmly fire in the penalty that sent Jamaica into the last four.

Jamaica endured a nervous finish after being reduced to 10 men following Demarai Gray's 84th-minute dismissal, but the Reggae Boyz held on to advance. The loss was a shattering blow for Canada, which qualified for the World Cup last year for the first time since the 1986 finals.

US Open 2023 semifinals LIVE Streaming: when, where and how to watch US open 2023 Live in your country, India

In the latest development surrounding the schedule of ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023, the venues for the two semi-finals seem to be locked, with the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata and Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai frontrunners to host Super Four matches. Another venue – the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, was also considered to host one of the semis, but with chances of rain during November in that part of the country, it fell behind in the pecking order.

"Mumbai's Wankhede and Kolkata's Eden Gardens are two likely venues for the World Cup semi-finals. Earlier, Chennai was also in the race, but it seems Eden is slightly ahead now," a BCCI source told PTI on Monday. "One of the reasons could be the November weather in Chennai, where there is always a chance of rain."

Representatives of selected twelve hosting associations were called in Mumbai on Monday to discuss details and finalise the venues before the official announcement of the World Cup schedule on June 27, tentatively slated to begin on October 5.

Meanwhile, reports state that if India qualify for the home World Cup semis, they will probably play their last-four clash at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Ironically, this is the same ground where 12 years ago, Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Indian team won the 2011 World Cup Final against Sri Lanka, ending India’s 28-year wait to lift the 50-over World Cup.

<h2>2023 World Cup format</h2>

Much like how the format was during the previous edition in England in 2019, this World Cup will also consist of ten teams, with eight already qualified for the mega event – including the host India, its neighbours Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, alongside England, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The race for the remaining two spots is ongoing in Zimbabwe in ICC Men’s ODI World Cup Qualifier, where the top teams will fill those positions.

All ten teams will play each other in the Round-Robin format, while the top four teams will qualify for the semi-finals.

Per the tentative schedule shared earlier, India will face arch-rivals Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15, and the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai will host their clash against Australia. The opener is expected to be played between defending champions England and former two-time runners-up New Zealand in Ahmedabad.

Meanwhile, India are set to travel to the Island nation West Indies for the full tour that begins on July 12, including two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is – the schedule and squads (Tests, ODIs) were announced earlier.

Zimbabwe stunned 2009 winners Pakistan as they defeated the Babar Azam-led Men in Green by one run in a thrilling low-scoring tie, at the Perth Stadium, Perth, in the Men's T20 World Cup Super 12 clash on Thursday (October 28).

Opting to bat first, Craig Ervine-led African side only managed 130 for 8 as Mohammad&nbsp;Wasim Jr returning with 4 for 24. In reply, Pakistan slipped from a winning position, being well-placed at 88 for 3, before being restricted to 129 for 8 in 20 overs. Sikandar Raza shined with the ball, returning with 3 for 25 along with Brad Evans also chipping in with 2 for 25.

After this loss, Babar-led Pakistan are at a precarious position. With twin defeats, having also lost to India in their Super 12 opener, the Asian giants are on the verge of an early exit. Here's how Pakistan can still make it to the semi-finals despite a shocking result versus Zimbabwe:

1) Firstly, Pakistan have to win all&nbsp;their remaining matches -- against the Netherlands, South Africa, and Bangladesh -- handsomely to remain alive.

2) Apart from their wins, Pakistan will hope for&nbsp;at least three other teams in&nbsp;Group B to lose as many as two games.

3) At this point, Pakistan's biggest nemesis is South Africa. The Temba Bavuma-led side could've had four points at present, instead of three, had their Zimbabwe game not ended without a result. So, if India beat South Africa&nbsp;on Sunday (October 30) and Pakistan also triumphs over them in their upcoming face-off, then Pakistan can proceed ahead with six points. SA will end up with five points if they beat the Netherlands.

4) Not only the Proteas, even Zimbabwe have a chance to go ahead. Hence, Pakistan will also have to hope that the lowly-ranked side loses two of their remaining three games, if not all, for them to qualify with six points.

5) At present, Bangladesh is in the hunt. They are yet to face&nbsp;Zimbabwe, India, and Pakistan. If the Bangla&nbsp;Tigers lose against India and Pakistan but go onto win against&nbsp;Zimbabwe, it will be advantage.

It is to be noted that even the Netherlands are not ruled out yet. They are yet to get off the mark in the main round, along with Pakistan, and face the Men in Green next. The loser of that clash will definitely bow out of the showpiece event.

At the post-match presentation, Babar said, "We would have taken 130 at the halfway stage. Very disappointing performance, we are not up to the mark in batting. We have good batters but both openers got out in the powerplay. When Shadab and Shan were building partnership, unfortunately Shadab got out and then back-to-back wickets that pushed us into pressure situation. First 6 overs, we haven't used the new ball well but we finished well with the ball. We will sit out, discuss our mistakes and we will train hard and come back strong in our next game."

Zimbabwe stunned 2009 winners Pakistan as they defeated the Babar Azam-led Men in Green by one run in a thrilling low-scoring tie, at the Perth Stadium, Perth, in the Men's T20 World Cup Super 12 clash on Thursday (October 28).

Zimbabwe stunned 2009 winners Pakistan as they defeated the Babar Azam-led Men in Green by one run in a thrilling low-scoring tie, at the Perth Stadium, Perth, in the Men's T20 World Cup Super 12 clash on Thursday (October 28).

Euro 2020, Semifinals 1, Live Streaming: When and where to watch Spain vs Italy?

Manchester City took a big step towards their first Champions League final as goals by Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez earned them a 2-1 comeback win at Paris St Germain in the semi-final first leg on Wednesday.

PSG went ahead courtesy of a Marquinhos header in the first half, but Mauricio Pochettino's side lost control after the break with De Bruyne and Mahrez finding the back of the net in the space of eight minutes to secure City's 18th consecutive away win in all competitions.

Last year's runners-up PSG then found themselves with a higher mountain to climb as midfielder Idrissa Gueye picked up a straight red card in the 77th minute for a reckless challenge on Ilkay Gundogan.

"The second half was much better, the way the first goal went in was a little bit lucky but we played great football in the second half, we did well," De Bruyne said.

Pochettino agreed the visitors were the better team after the interval.

"There were two different halves. In the first half we did well. We created chances and deserved the lead, but in the second half they were better than us," he said.

"The two goals were accidents, but they created more than us."

The French champions will need to show next Tuesday the same away form that enabled them to beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou and Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in previous rounds if they are to progress.

"At halftime, I told the players we needed to be ourselves. We needed to be more aggressive and we didn't let them breathe after the break," City manager Pep Guardiola said.

City dominated the early possession but PSG were the more dangerous side with Brazilian forward Neymar twice testing City keeper Ederson.

Marquinhos, returning to the team from an injury suffered in the quarter-final first leg against Bayern, put the hosts in front when he headed home Angel Di Maria's whipped corner in the 15th minute.

City, overly cautious for fear of being punished on the break, were again exposed on a set-piece when Leandro Paredes headed Neymar's corner just wide.

Guardiola's side lacked their usual composure, with Joao Cancelo picking up a yellow card for a woeful challenge on Kylian Mbappe.

City's first real chance came in the 42nd minute when Phil Foden, played infield by Bernardo Silva, shot too close to PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

The visitors were more attack-minded in the second half and they equalised after 64 minutes when De Bruyne, from a pass by Oleksandr Zinchenko who had just replaced Cancelo, sent in a cross and Navas failed to react as it curled into the far corner of the net.

Navas was beaten again seven minutes later when Mahrez's free kick flew straight through a flimsy PSG wall and past the helpless Navas.

Gueye's dismissal for a wild tackle on Gundogan made City's task easier and they will take a big advantage into the second leg in Manchester.

Manchester City fight back to beat 10-man Paris Saint-Germain in first leg

Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho scored two poacher's goals as they beat Manchester United 3-1 in their FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday to set up a last-four clash against Southampton.

The Foxes took the lead following a horrendous error from Manchester United's Fred, whose backpass became a through-ball for Iheanacho. The Nigerian collected it and rounded the keeper before firing home in the 24th minute.

United struck back seven minutes before halftime as Mason Greenwood rifled Paul Pogba's centre into the net, but they never got to grips with Leicester in midfield and they went behind again early in the second half.

Youri Tielemans surged at United's soft centre, bursting through and brushing off a less-than-convincing challenge from Fred before firing a low shot into the bottom corner.

Jamie Vardy could have brought his seven-game goal drought to an end but he pulled his shot just wide of the near post when clean through on goal. His selfless running, however, was instrumental in creating space for his Leicester teammates.

United's woeful defence was exposed again in the 78th minute as Iheanacho was left completely unmarked at the far post to head home Marc Albrighton's free-kick, sealing the victory and sending his side into the semis.

"We worked really well in training to get ready for this game, tactically we worked hard. We really felt ready to go and we passed the ball very well and got in open spaces and got the runs and the goals," Iheanacho told the BBC.

"I am really happy playing alongside Jamie (Vardy), it's helping me a lot, creating space and getting the shot in behind, so I hope we can keep working hard together," he added.

Chelsea will take on Manchester City in the other last-four tie, and both semi-finals will take place at Wembley on the weekend of April 17-18.

Antonio Conte's side looked sluggish days after their thrilling 4-2 derby win over AC Milan which put them top of the Serie A table.

Both sides had their chances in the first half with Lautaro Martínez nodding wide with Padelli denying Piotr Zielinski just before the break-in front of a crowd of nearly 60,000 in northern Italy.

Conte sent on Cristian Eriksen after 65 minutes and the Dane threatened but David Ospina held firm in the Napoli goal.

Napoli, who last won the trophy in 2014, now take a slim advantage into the second leg at their Stadio San Paolo on March 5.

"The derby certainly took away a lot of energy," said Conte. "But we're talking about Napoli, who beat Lazio, Juventus, Liverpool.&nbsp;

"It's a team of the substance despite its position in the standings."

Record 18-time winners Juventus take on AC Milan in the other semi-final on Thursday, again in the San Siro.

The match will be the first clash in Italy between Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo and Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The final will take place in the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on May 13.

Napoli beat Inter Milan to close in on Italian Cup final

Olympic silver medallist shuttler P V Sindhu produced a top-notched performance to eke out a thrilling three-game victory over 2016 champion Nozomi Okuhara of Japan to progress to her maiden semifinal at the USD 1000,000 All England Championship here today.

The quarterfinal clash lived up to its billing as Sindhu and Okuhara strained every sinew to dish out yet another nail-biting contest at the Arena Birmingham.

It boiled down to finding the right balance of aggression and patience and Sindhu ensured that she had the last laugh as she outwitted Okuhara 20-22 21-18 21-18 in a battle that lasted an hour and 24 minutes here.

With this victory, Sindhu registered her fifth win over the Nagano-born World No. 6 Japanese, who robbed her of a World Championship gold at Glasgow after a 110 minute marathon battle which went down in history as one of the greatest.

Seventh seeded Okuhara used long tosses and clears and cross court drops to make Sindhu run around the court. Sindhu was equally up to the task and the result was that the duo split the initial eight points.

Sindhu gained a 6-4 lead briefly after an unsuccessful referral by Okuhara. However, a bad judgement at the baseline by Sindhu saw the score levelled. The Indian again grabbed the slender two point lead when her opponent hit wide twice.

But a couple of body smashes helped Okuhara to claw back at 8-8. After a few more nail-biting rallies, Sindhu sent one to the net to give a slender 11-10 lead to Okuhara at the first break.

Okuhara showed immaculate defence to maintain her one point advantage at 12-11 when she pushed one at the back after Sindhu responded with a barrage of smashes. A towering smash and soft drop near the court gave Sindhu the lead, which swelled after Okuhara served at the net and sent one wide.

However, it was even stevens once again when a stretched Sindhu sent one to net and Okuhara then unleashed a smash on the Indians forehand.

The duo moved neck and neck from 16-16 to 19-19. Okuhara then sent one over the back line to hand over a game point to Sindhu, whose return got buried at the net after breaking the strings of her racquet as it was 20-20.

Sindhu then lost two successive challenges after her and Okuhara&#39;s shots went wide as the Japanese earned the bragging rights.

There was absolutely no let up in intensity after the change of sides as the duo engaged in a battle of attrition again. Sindhu managed a 3-1 lead initially but Okuhara once again clawed her way back after bulldozing the Indian with a barrage of body smashes and then went on to lead with a cross court return.

Okuhara made it 6-4 before Sindhu drew parity after the Japanese hit the net twice. The Indian unleashed an explosive cross court smash to grab the lead. Okuhara then left one at the back line but Sindhu served long next.

Sindhu had a 9-7 lead but she was called for delaying the match by the chair umpire and next she lost two points as the score got locked again. A flat return on the forecourt and then a return at the back from close to the net gave Sindhu a 11-9 lead at the breather.

However, the marginal lead evaporated instantly after the interval as Okuhara used her drops to good use.

Okuhara erred with her net strokes twice and then sent one out as Sindhu enjoyed a three point lead for the first time at 14-11, which she extended to 16-13. The Japanese constructed the rallies superbly and sealed it with a smash to again erase the deficit and grabbed a two point lead when Sindhu erred at the net twice.

Okuhara missed the line next and then one went to net as it was 18-18 again. Okuhara missed the line twice again to hand over game points to Sindhu, who grabbed it this time when the Japanese miscued her stroke.

In the decider, Okuhara looked to assert her supremacy early on as she moved to 4-1 lead. A thunderous smash followed from the Indian who produced another smashing return to narrow the gap to 4-5. Sindhu then drew parity at 6-6 when Okuhara found the net.

A deft block by Sindhu took her to 8-6 but the Indian sent a low lift to net and then went wide as it was 8-8. An unsuccessful challenge by Okuhara gave another point to Sindhu who blew it again. At the break, Okuhara held a one point lead after Sindhu went wide again.

After the breather, Okuhara extended her lead to 14-11. A reverse slice gave Sindhu a point but she committed two unforced errors as Okuhara jumped to 16-12.

Sindhu then closed out the net and sent Okuhara to the corners with her acute returns to reel off four points to level par. She went long next before unleashing another powerful smash to grab the lead. But she was handed a yellow card for slow play. She fought back with a reverse slice to move to 18-17 but a desperate return ended at the net.

The Indian dominated the net next and then sent one to the back line to grab two match points and then sealed the contest with another precise on-the-line return, much to the delight of the Indian fans.&nbsp;
