“Originally, it was scheduled for 2 p.m., but they rescheduled it to 5 p.m. Then, between 4 and 6 p.m., they inquired. We informed the team that after 6:30 p.m. is when the floodlights are available. That wasn’t a problem; it was acceptable. But it was forty-five degrees Celsius outside. In order to protect the players’ health, they made the decision to forgo practice. IndiaToday.in has been informed by a reliable source within the Ahmedabad stadium that there was no security threat.

We also gave them the option of giving indoor practice arena but they said they will skip the session due to heat,” he further added.

Important lessons from the Mavericks and Timberwolves’ first game

by Leave a Comment

The Dallas Mavericks won Game 1 of their dramatic opening series against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis on Wednesday, setting up a thrilling start to the NBA’s Western Conference playoffs.

Trailing 83-82 going into the fourth quarter, Luka Doncic scored a game-high 33 points to spark a comeback that saw the Mavericks win 108-105.

Throughout the first half, neither Doncic nor Anthony Edwards of Minnesota were very consistent, which kept the game tight the entire time. But Kyrie Irving scored a game-high twenty-four points in the first half to keep Dallas in it, and Doncic steadied himself over the next two quarters.

Throughout the first half, neither Doncic nor Anthony Edwards of Minnesota were very consistent, which kept the game tight the entire time. But Kyrie Irving scored a game-high twenty-four points in the first half to keep Dallas in it, and Doncic steadied himself over the next two quarters.

What is your biggest takeaway from Game 1?

  • Tim MacMahon: The Mavericks are in uncharted territory, winning a Game 1 under coach Jason Kidd for the first time in six tries. Dallas’ star duo of Doncic and Irving — coming off a pretty quiet second-round series, by their standards — took turns carrying Dallas in the opener. Irving scored 24 of his 30 points in the first half to keep the Mavs within striking distance. Doncic filled the closer role, scoring 15 of his 33 in the fourth quarter and making a couple of clutch defensive stops.
  • Dave McMenamin: In what should be a long, competitive series, the Timberwolves already showed that failing to execute on the little things can make the difference. With 1:41 to go in Game 1, Towns was called for offensive goaltending; with 1:06 remaining, Mike Conley’s lob to Rudy Gobert was stolen by Doncic. Despite those critical miscues, the Wolves found a sliver of hope when, down by four points with less than two seconds remaining, Conley drew a 3-point shooting foul. To give Minnesota a chance, he had to make the first two free throws then purposely miss the third to allow for a tip-in opportunity. He missed the second, thwarting any chance at a long shot comeback. The Wolves were 11-for-18 from the line; the Mavs went 16-for-17.
  • Brian Windhorst: You could feel the big-game experience of Doncic and Irving as compared to Edwards and Towns, and that became a defining storyline in Dallas’ Game 1 win. Irving proved it early, keeping the Mavs on pace while Minnesota virtually couldn’t miss. Doncic, meanwhile, proved it late with a brilliant individual scoring effort.

What is one big adjustment we could see in Game 2?

  • MacMahon: The Mavs should adjust their tag-team centre rotation so that youngster Dereck Lively II gets more playing time. It’s tough to overlook the fact that the Mavs are minus-62 with Daniel Gafford in the starting lineup and plus-106 with Lively on the floor in the playoffs, but switching around the starting lineup would be too extreme at this stage, especially with a lead in the series.
  • McMenamin: After scoring 62 points in the opening two quarters, the Wolves slowed down in the second half, managing just 43 points. Towns and Edwards bemoaned Minnesota’s pitiful 12 fast-break points following the loss. After the Wolves made a basket, Edwards also chastised himself for allowing Irving to beat him down the court for a layup. In Game 2, Minnesota seems primed to accelerate the tempo.
  • Windhorst: The Mavs have announced their game plan: They will pack the paint and dare Minnesota to beat them with the outside shot. Dallas wants to put multiple bodies between Edwards, Towns and the rim. Edwards had to work extremely hard to create space for himself throughout Game 1, and Towns had no space when he was inside. In the first half, the Wolves were 11-of-25 on 3s. In the second half, Dallas’ strategy started to work, as Minnesota went 7-of-24 from deep, and Edwards and Towns were a combined 12-of-36 from the field. That is a winning formula.

Which role player will be the biggest X factor the rest of the series?

  • MacMahon: P.J. Washington, the Mavs’ surprise star of the second round. He struggled from 3-point range for most of the opener, but he hit a clutch corner 3 in Game 1. He also was the primary defender on Towns, who was 6-of-20 from the floor. If Towns can’t get in a groove, it will be tough for the Timberwolves to win this series.
  • McMenamin: Jaden McDaniels. It’s hard to ask for much more than what he gave in Game 1, especially through the first three quarters. Defensively, Doncic shot just 4-for-12 with McDaniels as the primary defender. Offensively, McDaniels scored 21 points on 8-for-12 shooting. But the fourth quarter was a different story: Doncic shot 4-for-7 against McDaniels, while McDaniels went 1-for-3 with two turnovers. Despite fading late, McDaniels should continue to have his fingerprints on both ends for the Wolves.
  • Windhorst: Mike Conley. Any lingering impacts following his Achilles tendon injury are hard to predict, but the Wolves badly needed offensive organization and his calming influence down the stretch. Conley’s presence wasn’t felt in crunch time of Game 1, a crucial pivot point for the Wolves moving forward.

Atalanta Win Europa League as Lookman Hat-Trick ends Leverkusen Unbeaten Run.

by Leave a Comment

Nothing lasts forever—not even the Zhou dynasty, the Roman Empire, or Last of the Summer Wine—and neither did Bayer Leverkusen’s winning streak. Their quest for a perfect season ended at the penultimate hurdle after 51 games when Atalanta secured a shockingly comprehensive victory and their first title in 61 years thanks to an Ademola Lookman hat-trick, the first in a one-leg European final since Pierino Prati in 1969.

Despite much anticipation surrounding the rise of Xabi Alonso as one of Europe’s most talented young managers, an accomplished veteran emerged victorious. Gian Piero Gasperini, who has spent his entire career working extremely hard behind the scenes, is 66 years old when he receives his first piece of cutlery. It is a real moment of achievement. They defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield and Marseille 3-0 in the semi-final first leg; no one can argue that these victories were undeserved.

“Being successful with Atalanta is one of those rare football fairytales that come true,” Gasperini remarked. “It allows for meritocracy because ideas still have room and don’t always need to be based on hard, cold cash.”

He made a point of talking about the terrible weeks in 2020 when the Covid panic decimated Bergamo. He declared, “We have brought a smile to the faces of the Bergamasco people, but we won’t be able to take away all that pain.”

That talk about Alonso was not wrong: winning the Bundesliga with any side other than Bayern Munich is a remarkable feat, and all the more so to do it the way he has, but here his side were rattled out of their stride by Atalanta’s organisation and the dynamism of Éderson and Teun ­Koopmeiners in particular.

“We were prepared for one-on-one duels all over the pitch but we weren’t able to impose ourselves,” Alonso said. “It’s painful but it’s deserved as well.” For once, the late surge didn’t deliver; at the last, Leverkusen ran out of comebacks.

There was a sense the Europa League was made for this: two teams who have had excellent seasons, both playing bright, vibrant football, given a stage on which to enjoy a grand European night. For the fans of both clubs, there was a palpable excitement just to be here; for them the experience of finals has not become a cloyingly familiar routine as it can seem to have become for fans of the giants.

Well, Leverkusen didn’t assist themselves as Atalanta played. They had an unusually nervous start, letting possession go too frequently, which let Atalanta establish a rhythm.

Lookman’s first came about as a result of an odd moment of inattention on the part of Exequiel Palacios, who hesitated as Davide Zappacosta crossed, seemingly oblivious to anyone following him. Lookman was able to steal ahead of him, and his last name acted as a warning to Palacios about what he ought to have been doing.

According to Gasperini, “nobody imagined he could make this much progress.” “In England, he wasn’t very prolific. I gave him a slightly more attacking role, and he’s had a fantastic season. He accomplished something tonight that will go down in football history.

Lookman spoke of the “calmness” of Bergamo and the “intensity” of Gasperini who, he said, had “sim­plified” the game for him to allow him to “look at my game in a different light and take it to a new level”.

The first goal stemmed from a blend of Leverkusen laxity and ­Lookman excellence and the second was similar as he gathered a loose ball, cut infield, nutmegged Granit Xhaka (who experienced his first defeat since Arsenal lost at Nottingham Forest a little over a year ago) and whipped a perfect finish inside the far post.

Given the run they are on, Lever­kusen are not the sort of side to panic at being two behind. It was, after all, the fourth time it had happened in this Europa League campaign – and it was one fewer goal to pull back than Alonso had faced the first time he won a European competition. His equivalent of Didi Hamann, the substitute thrown on at half-time in Istanbul in 2005 to transform the game, was ­Victor Boniface.

But it made little difference. Lever­kusen had plenty of the ball in the ­second half, but struggled to build real pressure. And then with 15 ­minutes remaining came the coup de grace. Gianluca Scamacca, in his ponderous way, led a break and ­shovelled a pass to Lookman, at which point the game abruptly sped up as he cut on to his left foot and smashed a ­triumphant finish into the top corner.

‘Bengaluru Cant’: CSK Tushar Deshpande Reacts to RCB’s IPL 2024 exit in Viral Instagram Post.

by Leave a Comment

After losing to RR, RCB hopes of winning the IPL came to an end. Motivated by a meme that CSK pacer Tushar Deshpande published, CSK supporters ridiculed RCB on social media.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru, managed by Faf Du Plessis, lost to Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets on Wednesday, therefore eliminating them from the IPL 2024 competition. RCB had hoped to win their first IPL championship this year after an incredible comeback that saw them win six straight games to qualify for the playoffs, but unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be.

But not long after RR’s triumph, Chennai Super Kings fans severely harassed RCB and its best players on social media, reminding them of their antiques from the previous match. Tushar Deshpande, a pacer for CSK, also jumped on the bandwagon, posting a meme that went viral including a photo of Bengluru Cant station with the statement, “CSK fans are built different.” Even though the pacer ultimately made the decision to remove the story, it had already received a lot of social media exposure.

Notably, RCB had made a place in the playoffs after beating Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs in their last match. The high-scoring encounter saw RCB post a mammoth total of 218 runs while restricting their opponents to a total of 191 thanks to a brilliant bowling effort by Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal.

However, during the match , the celebration by RCB players on the wicket of MS Dhoni in the last over the match had become a contentious issue. Later on, Dhoni did not stay back to shake hands with the RCB players and Virat Kohli could be seen going to the CSK dressing room in order to meet the former Indian captain.

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan while criticizing the behaviour of RCB players in the last encounter had told Cricbuzz, “You shake hands and then do your cartwheels and stuff. I wouldn’t want to be an RCB player waking up tomorrow morning thinking MS Dhoni has just announced his retirement and we didn’t have the decency to go and shake his hand first,”

IPL 2024 Eliminator: RR vs RCB The in-form team will play the Royals in Ahmedabad.

While they look to win their first championship in Eliminator 1 against the Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have taken the crowd by surprise by winning six straight games. The resurgent team has finally found their groove and is now unbeatable after eliminating the previous champion Chennai Super Kings and keeping them from finishing in the top 4.

However, RR has fallen short of them after dropping their latest game and losing four in a row. The team will rely on performances from its batting aces, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel, as they attempt to recapture their previous momentum.

Player Statistics (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

1. Virat Kohli

2. Faf Du Plessis

Players who can make a difference

1. Yash Dayal

Yash Dayal has bowled comprehensively this season, leading as the highest wicket-taker for RCB. One of the most proficient players at the death, the left-arm pacer bowled the decisive last over against CSK in the last match which turned the fortunes of RCB as they qualified for the playoffs.

2. Dinesh Karthik

Veteran wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik’s contribution in the lower-middle order have been very crucial for the RCB. Karthik can shift the momentum rapidly down the order by providing 20-30 extra runs to the scoreline. In 14 matches, the RCB batter has scored 315 runs at a soaring strike rate of 195.65 with 2 fifties to his name.

Player Statistics (Rajasthan Royals)

1. Riyan Parag

Left-hand batter Riyan Parag has been impressive in the middle-order for the Royals. The young gun scored 531 runs from 14 matches with four fifties to his name and the highest score for him being an unbeaten 84.

2. Sanju Samson

Skipper Sanju Samson has kept the hopes alive for RR in crucial junctures of the match, even when the other players have faltered in the batting unit. Being the second highest run scorer in the team, Samson has scored 504 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 156.52 with 5 fifties to his name.

Players who can make a difference

1. Yuzvendra Chahal

RR’s spin wizard Yuzvendra Chahal has been the highest wicket-taker for the Royals so far. The Indian wrist spinner has picked timely wickets and stopped the flow of runs in the testing phases of the game. Chahal has picked 17 wickets from 13 matches at an economy of 9.38.

2. Sandeep Sharma

Medium-pacer Sandeep Sharma has been one of the trickiest players to deal with in the Royals line-up. The Indian bowler has played a vital role in restraining the run-flow in the middle and death overs. In 9 matches, Sandeep has picked 10 wickets at an excellent economy of 7.93.

Head-to-head

As the two teams contest for the 32nd time in the history of IPL, their head-to-head has been in favour of the Royal Challengers who won 15 meetings. The inaugural edition champions follow them with 13 wins with 4 matches ending in no result.

Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium has been a batting paradise that offers a lot of scoring opportunities for the batsmen. The due factor in the second innings acts as an icing on the cake for the team batting second. And evidently so, out of the 33 matches played here at this venue, 18 matches have been won by teams batting second. Thus, the teams winning the toss must bowl first at this venue and restrict the team to a chasable total.

Match Prediction

As resurgent RCB come from six consecutive wins, the momentum will be convincingly in their favour against a struggling RR who have lost four consecutive encounters. With Virat Kohli and co. looking in fiery hot form, the RCB stand as the favourites to win the clash. As per the Google Win Predictor, Bangalore have a 55% chance of winning the match against the former champions.

Fantasy XI

Anthony Edwards Subtly makes Fun of Karl-Anthony Towns’ Infamous “After All That” Saying During Press Conference.

by Leave a Comment

Anthony Edwards jested on his teammate Karl-Anthony Towns during the post-game interview after the Timberwolves clinched the Western Conference semifinal series against the Denver Nuggets. Edwards
subtly made fun of Towns’ infamous “after all that” saying by humorously repeating the line after Towns said it during the interview.
Edwards repeating his teammate was likely a throwback to Towns’ viral moment of him saying “after all that” in a different voice over a year ago during an unofficial interview.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards combined for 39 points as the Timberwolves defeated the reigning champions 98-90 in Game 7 to advance to the Western Conference finals. Towns led the team’s winning effort, registering 23 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block.
The Timberwolves’ stunning comeback from a 15-point hole at halftime set an NBA playoff record for the biggest turnaround in Game 7. Edwards was instrumental in the comeback, starting with four points and three assists at halftime before finishing with 16 points, eight
rebounds, seven assists and two steals.

“Man, f**k them 9 years”: Anthony Edwards hilariously interrupts Karl-Anthony Towns during career reflection

Before the current season, the Minnesota Timberwolves were unable to win a single playoff series since 2004. The team missed the postseason for 14 consecutive years since then before ending their drought in 2018.
Drafted first overall by the Timberwolves in 2015, Karl-Anthony Towns experienced the organization’s struggles firsthand. The four-time NBA All-Star missed the playoffs in five of his first six years in the league and only won his first playoff series in his ninth year.
Towns reflected upon his nine-year Timberwolves tenure during the post-game interview after clinching the series against the Nuggets on Sunday.

Edwards was drafted first overall by the Timberwolves in 2020. The 22- year-old led the team to the playoffs for three straight seasons and
has established himself as one of the league’s premier young stars.
Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards will look to make a deeper playoff run as the Minnesota Timberwolves face the Dallas Mavericks next for the Western Conference finals.

IPL 2024 Playoffs: KKR vs SRH in Qualifier 1, RCB-RR clash in Eliminator.

by Leave a Comment

Can KKR vs SRH keep the flavour of their season without Salt? How much of a loss Buttler will be to RR? Is this the RCB’s year at last?

The IPL 2024 playoffs are almost here. Which Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) or Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team would finish the KKR vs SRH playoff lineup was decided in a thrilling match on Saturday. It wasn’t until the very last league game, a washout in Guwahati last night, that we found out who would play who, but we now know. Additionally, none of the top four seeds from 2023 make the cut, making this a totally different playoff lineup than it was the previous year.

Qualifier 1: KKR vs SRH, May 21, Ahmedabad

For the first time, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have concluded the league phase as the top team heading into the first qualifying round. Despite losing their last two games, they ended up with three more points than any other team. Will they be rusted or renewed? If SRH is any indication, taking a vacation from cricket can be beneficial. They returned after a 10-day break, which they attributed to both the weather and the schedule, and they successfully chased 215 against Punjab Kings on Sunday. In IPL 2024, this was SRH’s only other victory in a game they chased.

  • Previous meeting: They’ve played each other only once this season, both team’s first game of IPL 2024. It was a high-scoring thriller that ended in a last-ball four-run win for KKR at Eden Gardens.
  • Player availability: The England players who will be going to the upcoming T20 World Cup have withdrawn early from the IPL, and among them is one of KKR’s lynchpins this season: Sunil Narine’s big-hitting opening partner, Phil Salt.
  • Weather forecast: “Very hot with plenty of sunshine” – that’s the forecast for Ahmedabad on May 21, and the heat will hardly relent as the lights come on for the evening match: it’s a minimum of 31C on the day. The forecast says there’s a 0% chance of rain.

Eliminator: RR vs RCB, May 22, Ahmedabad

RR had won seven of their opening eight games, and on April 22 they were flying high at the top of the table. Conversely, RCB was struggling at the other end of the table, having lost as many games as RR had won, including six straight losses. When we fast-forward to May 20, we see an astounding turnaround: prior to Sunday’s washout, RR had won one out of the previous six games and lost four. With six straight victories under their belt, RCB enters this knockout match with the upper hand.

  • Previous meeting: They’ve played each other once this year, a convincing win for RR in Jaipur, where Virat Kohli hit a century only to be outdone by Jos Buttler.
  • Player availability: This time, RR will be without Buttler, who’s part of the English T20 World Cup contingent that’s left the tournament. RCB will be without Will Jacks and Reece Topley for the same reasons.
  • Weather forecast: The forecast doesn’t change much from Qualifier 1. Ahmedabad should remain hot and dry for the Eliminator.
KKR vs SRH

Qualifier 2: Loser of Qualifier 1 vs Winner of the Eliminator, May 24, Chennai

  • Weather forecast: Some clouds are forecast during the day, but only a 5% chance of rain. A low of 29C, so another hot, sweaty evening in store for the players.

Final: Winner of Qualifier 1 vs Winner of Qualifier 2, May 26, Chennai

There’s a possibility of a first-time winner: RCB, ending a 16-year drought in the same season that their women’s team knocked off the Women’s Premier League title in its second edition.

KKR vs SRH

Or RR could win their first title since the inaugural season when Shane Warne’s relatively unfancied team saw off MS Dhoni’s Super Kings in the final.

For KKR it would be a first title since 2014, and their third overall. Quite the homecoming for Gautam Gambhir, that would be – he had captained KKR to both their previous titles, and played for them till 2017. This season, he shifted from Lucknow Super Giants back to KKR as team mentor.

SRH’s only title (not to confuse them with the other franchise from Hyderabad, Deccan Chargers, who won it in 2009) came in 2016 – can they add to that?

  • Weather forecast: Not much change from Qualifier 2, but slightly hotter even (min. 30 C) and even less chance of rain (4%).
