Perera ton gives Sri Lanka consolation win

New Zealand came close in the 219-run chase, but Sri Lanka did enough to get a consolation win

In the end, Sri Lanka did enough. That’s not something you’d expect to say about a team that had racked up 218 runs in their first innings, but it speaks towards just how well New Zealand had set about their chase for most of the innings. It was a victory set up largely by Kusal Perera’s maiden T20I ton, the fastest ever by a Sri Lankan, coming off just 44 deliveries.For about 15 overs of the chase New Zealand were keeping up with the nearly 11-an-over required rate, and when Daryl Mitchell struck Charith Asalanka for four consecutive sixes in a 25-run 15th over they might have even been ahead.Sri Lanka then thought they had done enough with a couple of wickets at the death, before Zachary Foulkes’ final-over fireworks provided yet another scare. But despite frayed nerves, Sri Lanka held on to close out a consolatory seven-run win.Having entered inside the powerplay, Perera fell with less than two overs left in the innings, and such was the impact of his innings even a run-a-ball final two overs couldn’t prevent Sri Lanka from registering their second-highest T20I total ever.Asalanka also played a starring role – despite the treatment meted out by Mitchell – backing up his 46 with the bat with a three-wicket haul that derailed New Zealand’s well-planned chase. He also took a scorcher of a catch at extra cover to cap an impressive outing. There was however no looking beyond Perera for the player of the match award.Jacob Duffy, a thorn in Sri Lanka’s side throughout the series, picked up just the solitary wicket this time round, although his economy rate of 7.50 was still the best of any bowler who bowled at least two overs in the game. He was deservedly named player of the series.SL and NZ trade early blowsThe rollercoaster nature of the game was telegraphed right from the start. Sri Lanka lost three of their top four inside the opening 10 overs, and their openers inside the powerplay, but they didn’t let that slow them down.Kusal Mendis struck 22 off 16, Pathum Nissanka 14 off 12 and Avishka Fernando 17 off 12, as Sri Lanka kept a steady rate of around eight an over.Despite the early wickets, it could have been better too, had New Zealand held on to miscued reverse sweep off Perera when he was on just 15.Despite taking two excellent grabs to dismiss both Nissanka and Mendis, it was the chance they will likely look back on and regret.Mitchell Santner celebrates Kusal Mendis’ wicket•MARTY MELVILLE/AFP via Getty Images

Perera and Sri Lanka turn on the afterburnersDespite losing three wickets, Sri Lanka’s score of 85 after the first 10 overs constituted their best score at the halfway mark of an innings all series. But the 10 overs to follow would put that tally comfortably in the shade.Led by a belligerent Perera, and aided by some short boundaries at Nelson, Sri Lanka proceeded to plunder 133 runs off the final 10 overs – and that could have been considerably more if not for two excellent overs at the death from Mitchell and Duffy.Those two overs went for six each, but that Sri Lanka still ended up on a mammoth 218 speaks towards the damage done in the overs that preceded them – particularly devastating was a four-over period from overs 14-18 that brought 75 runs. Much of that was down to Perera, whose century came at a strike rate above 200 and included 13 fours and four sixes.While he initially targeted the boundaries behind square with a catalogue of sweeps, switch hits and outright slogs, by the end his knock was a true 360 exhibition – a monster six over cover to bring up his century emphatically ramming home the point.He was kept company by an equally combative Asalanka, who struck 46 off 24 during a 100-run fourth wicket stand that came off just 45 deliveries.Well prepared New Zealand come out firingRegardless of the match situation you can always count on New Zealand to come out with an effective plan, and their chase in Nelson was a prime example.Most sides would be overawed when hunting down a target of 219, but from the very first over of the chase New Zealand set the tone as Tim Robinson and Rachin Ravindra each took Chamidu Wickramasinghe for a boundary each.This was followed by a five-run over by Nuwan Thushara, but New Zealand made up for that by taking on Sri Lanka’s most effective seamer this series, Binura Fernando, for 18 off his opening over.Sixty-three runs were scored inside the powerplay, but the onslaught only continued afterwards. By the halfway point New Zealand had run up 108 runs and still had eight wickets in hand.Charith Asalanka struck in three consecutive overs•MARTY MELVILLE/AFP via Getty Images

Asalanka the unlikely heroWith Thushara and Binura being saved for the death overs and Theekshana having an off day, Asalanka was left with a conundrum through the middle overs. Was he going to rely on the green Wickramasinghe to handle the fifth bowler quota on his own, or would he bowl a few himself?He ended up opting for the latter, and it might just be what swung the game in Sri Lanka’s direction. In his first over the Lankan skipper removed Mark Chapman, before taking out Glenn Phillips in his second. But it was his third that brought the big fish, sliding one past Ravindra’s inside edge to dismiss the New Zealand opener for a 39-ball 69.Perhaps Asalanka overestimated his capabilities in bowling himself out, and was duly punished by Mitchell. But his breakthroughs meant New Zealand would be forced to score heavily off Sri Lanka’s frontline bowlers at the death.New Zealand can’t stick the landingDespite Asalanka’s strikes, Mitchell’s monster striking had brought the equation down to 51 from 30 with six wickets in hand.At that point it seemed like the hard work had been all but done, but New Zealand just couldn’t stick the landing. Hasaranga’s double-wicket 16th over did much to reverse to momentum that had swung New Zealand’s way through Mitchell’s onslaught. And then when Mitchell fell an over later, looking to take on Thushara, the writing seemed on the wall.Foulkes however ensured Sri Lanka were made to work for their win with some powerful hitting at the death, but the visitors just about managed to hold on.

He's their next Palmer: Chelsea ace has held talks over leaving the Bridge

Chelsea fans are still very firmly on cloud nine after their beloved side defeated their near-London rivals West Ham United with ease on Friday night.

After experiencing a disappointing stalemate on the Premier League opening day versus Crystal Palace, such a vibrant display was desperately needed, with new personnel such as Joao Pedro instantly settling into his spot up top in Enzo Maresca’s XI by bagging the leveller on the night.

Estevao also shone as a new livewire down the wings at the London Stadium, but while everything is rosy in terms of incomings, it looks as if a whole host of sales will have to be signed off on very soon to appropriately balance the books.

Chelsea's long list of departees

It is to be expected after all, with Chelsea splashing the big bucks to land the likes of Pedro for £60m, before you even consider further deals that saw Jamie Gittens, Jorrel Hato, Liam Delap, and many more join Maresca’s growing ranks this summer.

The Blues have got rid of some notable personnel already, with hit-and-miss attacker Noni Madueke defecting over to North London to join Arsenal for a weighty £50m back in July.

Christopher Nkunku could soon rival that amount when he is very likely to depart the building before September’s cut-off point, having now been eyed up by Aston Villa.

It’s a sorry end for the Frenchman who was expected to light up the English top-flight with the Blues after a significant £52m move, only to now be chucked to one side after a turbulent 18-goal stint at Stamford Bridge.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

Moreover, despite starring in flashes with 24 Premier League strikes in West London, Nicolas Jackson also looks set to depart before the busy window is out, having further been named as a main target for Unai Emery’s men, on top of Newcastle United hunting him down as an effective way to get over the ongoing Alexander Isak scandal.

Chelsea fans far and wide will see the logic in trying to move on from these outcasts, but they would be bitterly disappointed if their side were to allow a rising star to leave, who could well become the Blues’ next Cole Palmer if given time to blossom.

Chelsea youngster could be Chelsea's next Palmer

Often, Chelsea has been negatively portrayed as a club that can be impatient when it comes to the next generation of talent rising through the ranks, with the likes of Declan Rice, Marc Guehi, and many other Premier League starters discarded by the cutthroat outfit when they were still youth players.

Thankfully, the Blues benefited from Manchester City prematurely getting rid of their own homegrown talents when purchasing Palmer back in 2023 for a modest £42.5m.

The rest is history now, with Palmer worth far more than that amount today, having notched up a ridiculous 43 goals and 29 assists from 98 senior outings.

That amount will no doubt rise and rise, but Chelsea won’t want to be plagued with regret if they were to sell Tyrique George shortly, with a hope surely on their end that the raw, yet exciting Englishman can go on to be Palmer 2.0 down the line.

Like Palmer, George possesses a magical ability to create something out of nothing. He’s quicker but he’s got a dazzling and mazy dribbling ability that can get him out of tight situations. Raw, of course, but there’s a lot to like about a player who is earning first team football at a higher level than Palmer did at the same age.

Sadly, he could be on the move. Fabrizio Romano has taken to X recently to confirm that AS Roma are keen on snapping up the 19-year-old attacking menace this summer, holding talks about the player at the back end of July.

Alongside interest from Serie A, Romano has also stated that there is interest from within the Premier League itself, on top of RB Leipzig further throwing their hat into the ring.

This would be a disastrous set of circumstances to lose George so early into his Blues career, having only just seen him bag his first-ever senior goal for the west London side last season, after being dubbed a “ridiculous” talent for the future previously by content creator Felix Johnston.

George has since backed up his debut effort with a further seven goal contributions in the first team picture, with Chelsea surely better placed to just gift their homegrown prodigy more minutes to get even more out of him, instead of prematurely putting him up for sale.

More consistent senior minutes could be presented to George out in Italy or Germany, however, as he now deliberates on his next step.

For Chelsea’s long-term sake, the hope will be that he remains put, so they can avoid another regret being piled onto their mountain of missteps.

Pakistan and Bangladesh look – or hope – to sign off on a positive note

The two teams haven’t made their own luck at the tournament, looking out of ideas at most times, and go into their last fixture knowing the result doesn’t really matter

Mohammad Isam26-Feb-20251:54

Urooj: Pakistan have let themselves down again

Big picture: Pakistan and Bangladesh hope rain stays awayIt has not been a tournament to remember for either Pakistan or Bangladesh, and the team talks ahead of their last game, against each other in Rawalpindi, are likely to be similar: play for pride, etc. With some chatter about the poor weather – if it continues, as the forecast says, the long faces in the two dressing rooms will get longer.Pakistan’s numbers in the Champions Trophy matches against New Zealand and India don’t make for pretty reading. Their top-order batters haven’t pulled their collective weight. With Fakhar Zaman out injured, Imam-ul-Haq came in and didn’t do much. Saud Shakeel and Babar Azam have both hit a half-century each, but not been able to have any major impact. Mohammad Rizwan hasn’t looked in any sort of form despite scoring a century in the tri-series at home before the Champions Trophy. Pakistan could bring in Kamran Ghulam just to freshen things up, but who do they drop?After the top four, it’s no better. Khushdil Shah, Salman Agha and Tayyab Tahir seem to be playing similar roles, which has led to stagnation in the middle. Faheem Ashraf, potentially, could have balanced the side a bit, but hasn’t been given a go. And the quick bowlers have struggled to control the flow. India took apart Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. Naseem Shah has been better, but has looked below his best. Abrar Ahmed has bowled one great delivery that was overshadowed by his celebration.Related

Pakistan slide feels like a terminal, slow decline

Bangladesh haven’t been too different, bar their quick bowling. Their batting has been one-dimensional, and not been able to go through the gears, with the lower order having to bail them out. Their top order caved in against India, while Michael Bracewell’s offspin got rid of their middle order in the other game. Najmul Hossain Shanto showed form against New Zealand, while Jaker Ali has been consistent – they might have to do even more against Pakistan. As is the case with Towhid Hridoy, who scored an impressive century against India.1:58

‘Disappointing to see Bangladesh’s big players go missing in a must-win game’

But they will want veterans Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah to sign off from what could be their last ICC game with a bang and not a whimper. Their lack of fire has been disappointing to see, though, in Mahmudullah’s case, it’s just been one match and one failure.Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana have to do the heavy lifting again on Thursday, with Mustafizur Rahman continuing to be steady without being spectacular. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Rishad Hossain, the lead spinners, have a lot to do, too, especially in Rawalpindi where they should have a more central role.But the two teams will also be looking beyond this game. They have to set their priorities right in the domestic circuit and then look for improvement in their international teams. They will both have to go back to the drawing board ahead of the next ICC tournament, and figure out how they can make a better fist of it, especially with a transition of sorts possibly around the corner.Form guidePakistan LLLWL
Bangladesh LLLLLIn the spotlight: Abrar Ahmed and Jaker AliHis send-off after the wonder ball to Shubman Gill has attracted all the attention, but Abrar Ahmed has been one of the few success stories for Pakistan in the last couple of weeks. He’s posed a wicket-taking threat. He’s been economical as well. But Bangladesh handled him well last year in the Rawalpindi Test so it will be interesting to see what happens on Thursday.Jaker Ali has been a revelation for Bangladesh in the lower-middle order in the last few months. It has been just seven ODIs, but he averages 50-plus with two fifties. He is a strong hitter in the death overs, often finding the boundaries, but wouldn’t mind having another specialist batter at the other end for at least a part of the time. Jaker can also offer his wicketkeeping if Bangladesh look to tinker with their XI and leave out Mushfiqur.For Mushfiqur Rahim, as well as Mahmudullah, this could be a final appearance in an ICC tournament•ICC via Getty Images

Team news: Will the teams ring in the changes?Could Pakistan leave out one of their star quick bowlers to give Mohammad Hasnain or Faheem Ashraf a chance? They also have batting options in Usman Khan and Kamran Ghulam.Pakistan (possible): 1 Imam-ul-Haq/Usman Khan, 2 Babar Azam, 3 Saud Shakeel, 4 Mohammad Rizwan (capt, wk), 5 Salman Agha, 6 Tayyab Tahir, 7 Khushdil Shah, 8 Shaheen Shah Afridi/Mohammad Hasnain, 9 Naseem Shah, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Abrar AhmedBangladesh are likely to field the same line-up that played against New Zealand.Bangladesh (possible): 1 Tanzid Hasan, 2 Najmul Hossain Shanto (capt), 3 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 4 Tohwid Hridoy, 5 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Jaker Ali, 8 Rishad Hossain, 9 Taskin Ahmed, 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Nahid RanaPitch and conditions: An eye on the weatherPakistan will hope that their farewell from their own Champions Trophy is not rained out. There is rain in the forecast. The previous match at the venue, between South Africa and Australia, was abandoned because of rain too. The pitch would have been under cover for a lot of the last three days by the time the game starts, and there’s always the chance of extra moisture around the square.Stats and trivia: Bangladesh’s pacers slightly better This is the first Pakistan vs Bangladesh contest in Champions Trophy history Pakistan beat Bangladesh in their only previous ODI in Rawalpindi in 2003 Pakistan have a 12-0 overall home record against Bangladesh in ODIs The fast bowlers across the two teams have taken 11 wickets, but Bangladesh’s group has a bowling average of 44.83 and have conceded runs at 5.12 per over, while Pakistan’s have an average of 63.50 and an economy rate of 7.18.

Luciano demonstra apoio a Arboleda após falhas e evita falar de arbitragem em derrota do São Paulo contra o Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

Após a derrota do São Paulo no clássico contra o Palmeiras, por 2 a 0, Luciano demonstrou apoio a Arboleda, após as falhas individuais do zagueiro que resultaram nos dois gols da equipe de Abel Ferreira.

O equatoriano falhou em ambos os lances que definiram o resultado no estádio do Morumbi – tanto no gol de Gabriel Menino quanto no gol de Endrick. Luciano, que sempre demonstrou uma relação boa com o companheiro de equipe, saiu em defesa de Arboleda.

ATUAÇÕES: “vilão”, Arboleda entrega dois gols e recebe pior nota do São Paulo em derrota para o Palmeiras

Para o camisa 10, o zagueiro sempre ajuda a equipe e só faz ‘um ou dois jogos mais abaixo na temporada’. Luciano também revisitou a Data Fifa. Sem jogos por quase dez dias, Arboleda foi convocado pela seleção equatoriana. O atacante destacou que será importante para o equatoriano ‘voltar melhor’.

Quanto a arbitragem da partida, Luciano evitou falar sobre, principalmente sobre o pênalti anulado. Mas disparou: ‘não posso ficar só apanhando, preciso tomar uma atitude’.

– Não vou falar da arbitragem. Não vou levantar polêmica, mas não posso ficar só apanhando, preciso tomar uma atitude – opinou.

Sobre a partida em si, disse que clássico é ‘detalhe’. Para ele, o São Paulo tomou os gols por ‘desatenção’, mas agora é ‘aprimorar mais ainda’.

– É como eu falei. Clássico é detalhe, fizemos uma grande partida no fim de semana, tomamos um gol em uma desatenção nossa, a gente controlou no segundo tempo, mas em outro vacilo a gente tomou gol e agora é aprimorar mais ainda – concluiu.

O São Paulo e o Palmeiras devem se reencontrar em breve. Desta vez, valendo decisão. Os dois se enfrentarão pelas quartas de final da Copa do Brasil, que está prevista para acontecer em julho.

West Ham planned to sign £35m star before deadline-busting Aston Villa move

West Ham United were planning to sign an “outrageous” player, before he ended up signing for Aston Villa in a deadline-busting move.

West Ham miss out on "outrageous" star to Aston Villa

Ultimately, West Ham did what they needed to do on deadline day, bringing in Igor Julio on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion to provide cover in defence, but there are question marks over whether it was a successful window on the whole.

Former player Dean Ashton has been left unconvinced by the recruitment team’s summer transfer strategy, saying: “The recruitment’s been so shoddy, especially when you change managers and style of football.

“You have to be so aligned at board level to make sure that recruitment is absolutely spot-on for the manager that you’ve got in place.”

Things picked up in the latter stages of the window, bringing in 21-year-old midfielder Soungouto Magassa from AS Monaco, while Mateus Fernandes also arrived from Southampton.

However, there are arguably some doubts over the signing of Fernandes, given that the attacking midfielder is yet to really prove himself at Premier League level, having been part of the Southampton side that picked up just 12 points last season.

Instead, West Ham may have been better off signing a more established Premier League midfielder, and that is exactly what they tried to do, having planned to push for the signing of Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott in August.

However, Elliott ultimately ended up completing a deadline-busting move to Aston Villa, with the 22-year-old joining on a loan deal for the remainder of the season, which includes an obligation to buy for £35m.

"Outstanding" manager is "leading" West Ham candidate to replace Potter

The Hammers have set their sights on a Graham Potter replacement.

ByDominic Lund Aug 31, 2025 Elliott could have been "outrageous" signing for West Ham

It is perhaps unsurprising the Hammers missed out on the England U21 international, given that the option to join a club competing in the Europa League was on the table, but it is still disappointing they were unable to get a deal done.

The former Fulham man has been lauded as “outrageous” by scout Jacek Kulig in the past, and he is much more established than Fernandes at the top level, most notably scoring a late winner against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last season.

That’s not to say Fernandes isn’t a strong addition to Potter’s squad, however, with the Portuguese youngster impressing after being thrown straight in on the left-wing against Nottingham Forest last time out.

The starlet won six duels, the joint-second highest number of any West Ham player on the pitch, while he has also received high praise for his attitude from former Saints man Jo Tessem in the past, who said: “Every week he plays his heart out, he is by far the best player on the football pitch from a Saints perspective.”

ANÁLISE: São Paulo amassa rival e vive lua de mel com a torcida

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo está vivendo um dos melhores momentos do ano. Em lua de mel com a torcida, os bons resultados apresentados pela equipe de Dorival Júnior têm refletido no aumento da quantidade de pessoas presentes no estádio do Morumbi. Neste domingo, no jogo que terminou em 4 a 1, o São Paulo venceu mais um clássico em um curto espaço de tempo. Depois de derrotar o Palmeiras durante a semana, o Santos também não escapou. Ao todo, 58.127 pessoas compareceram ao estádio, estabelecendo assim um novo recorde de público na temporada.

E o Tricolor fez valer a pena. É fato que o Santos contribuiu. A equipe de Dorival Júnior praticamente anulou o Peixe durante todo o jogo. Para se ter uma ideia, a primeira oportunidade de gol do Santos surgiu somente aos 40 minutos do primeiro tempo e foi defendida de forma extremamente tranquila por Rafael.

Ainda no primeiro tempo, o São Paulo garantiu sua tranquilidade com os gols de Calleri, um deles sendo de pênalti e cometido de forma extremamente infantil por Joaquim, que mais tarde falhou novamente. No segundo tempo, David marcou o terceiro gol e Pato fez o quarto, sendo este o primeiro gol dele desde seu retorno ao clube do Morumbi. O clima estava tão positivo que nem o pênalti cometido por Michel Araujo e convertido por Marcos Leonardo, nos acréscimos, abalou a equipe.

O São Paulo dominou completamente o jogo. Impôs ritmo e velocidade, e nas poucas vezes em que foi ameaçado, o Tricolor conseguiu segurar os contra-ataques do Santos sem nenhum problema. Foi uma partida controlada, na qual a facilidade do elenco de Dorival Júnior em encontrar saídas e possibilidades fez com que mal parecesse um clássico.

Até mesmo os atletas que estavam sendo contestados anteriormente começaram a se destacar e mostrar crescimento. Um dos maiores exemplos disso é Alisson. Criticado pela torcida até algumas semanas atrás, ele passou a desempenhar um papel mais voltado para a volância, sendo menos ofensivo do que costumava ser. Essa mudança de posicionamento, ajustada por Dorival Júnior e sua comissão técnica, está surtindo efeito. Foi graças ao camisa 7, que Calleri recebeu a bola que resultou no segundo gol do confronto.

Além da classificação para a semifinal da Copa do Brasil ao derrotar o Palmeiras, o São Paulo também alcançou uma posição confortável na tabela. Com 25 pontos conquistados, ultrapassou todos os grandes rivais, incluindo o clube alviverde, e atualmente ocupa a quarta colocação no Brasileirão. Agora, a equipe terá uma semana de descanso antes de enfrentar o Cuiabá no próximo sábado, dia 22.

Tottenham pull agreement U-turn after Levy exit with big move now in limbo

Former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy’s exit is having a huge ripple effect, with his departure now leaving a previous agreement to potentially collapse.

Levy resigned as Spurs chair after 24 years, leaving his long-term hands-on role at the club as the Lewis Family and ENIC attempt to usher in what they describe as a new era.

During his tenure, Levy was a polarising Tottenham figure who attracted huge criticism and disdain from sections of the fanbase — specifically over their lack of success on the pitch with just two major trophies since 2001.

In that time, Spurs were often chastised for not spending anywhere near as much as their Premier League rivals on transfers, with Levy also overseeing some disastrous decisions like certain managerial appointments.

Off the field, Levy did work wonders — transforming the Lilywhites into a revenue-generating powerhouse and overseeing the move to their brand-new state-of-the-art stadium.

There is no doubt that Spurs’ commercial appeal increased ten-fold during Levy’s stay, but the focus for ENIC, and particularly Vivienne Lewis (the daughter of Joe Lewis), is now to deliver more silverware.

Reports claim that Levy was pushed out by Tottenham and didn’t find out about his resignation until hours before it was announced (The Times), with the news leaving influential footballing figures “stunned” (Miguel Delaney).

Levy’s exit is also having an effect on Tottenham’s potential re-appointment of popular ex-managing director Fabio Paratici.

Tottenham U-turn over Fabio Paratici agreement with return now in limbo

The Italian has now served his worldwide ban from football and acted as an unofficial advisor to the club as recently as the last transfer window.

Paratici had reached an agreement to return to Tottenham in his previous managing director role from the start of next month, according to talkSPORT, but now the 53-year-old is being left in “limbo”.

As per the outlet and journalist Alex Crook, Levy’s ally may not be returning to Spurs after all, as the move to bring him back was largely driven by the club’s now-former chair.

Paratici’s appointment at Tottenham is now in serious doubt, which will come as upsetting for some supporters who were fans of the director famed for his incredible work ethic.

The former Juventus chief played a key role in the signings of Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pedro Porro and Djed Spence, among others, with Levy previously hailing Paratici as a man who “lives and breathes” football.

New Zealand signed off the series as they started it: with an absolute hammering of Pakistan. Tim Seifert, who smashed an unbeaten 97 off 38, ensured New Zealand needed just ten overs to get to Pakistan’s limp 128 after five wickets for James Neesham hobbled Pakistan in the first innings.New Zealand called correctly at the toss and barely put a foot wrong after. Will O’Rourke and Jacob Duffy were both tight and penetrating up front as New Zealand took three wickets in the powerplay. It included Hassan Nawaz for his third duck of the series who sandwiched his century at Eden Park with just one run across the other four games. Neesham’s first wicket of five reduced Pakistan to 52 for 5 around the halfway mark as Pakistan’s top order scattered around their captain Salman Agha.Agha and Shadab Khan provided the only resistance with the bat for Pakistan with a brief, entertaining cameo. Neither are natural power hitters, but both were effective in their manipulation of the bowlers and the field as Pakistan picked up the pace in a 54-run stand in 35 balls.But when Shadab briefly lost his cool after being deprived of a free hit he thought he deserved for a high full toss the previous ball, he nicked the next one to the keeper. He walked away incandescent, and the remainder of Pakistan’s innings folded tamely even as Agha brought up his second half-century in three games. Neesham was ruthless in wrapping the tail up as the final four overs yielded four wickets for 22 runs, and a target of 129.Neesham starred with five wickets•Getty Images

New Zealand’s innings began with 18 runs off Jahandad Khan’s first over, and barely looked back. Finn Allen and Seifert were raining boundaries no matter which fast bowler Agha turned to; five of the first six overs produced double-digit runs, and when Pakistan turned back to Jahandad to close out the powerplay, the assault was unforgiving. Three sixes and a four from Seifert saw 25 runs come off it as New Zealand surged to 92 in the powerplay – their highest six-over score in T20I history.Sufiyan Muqeem – in hindsight brought in a touch late, provided some measure of relief for Pakistan, got rid of Allen with his second delivery with a bit of flight and variation of pace. He followed it up by deceiving Mark Chapman with a quicker one that Mohammad Haris was sharp to collect and whip the bails off, his two overs conceding just six runs for their two wickets.However, that did not mean all spin was working for Pakistan, as Shadab’s concluding over made painfully clear. Four sixes in six balls, and three consecutive ones to sign off the game, put Pakistan out of their misery, his 26-run over finishing off a contest so one-sided it had become borderline uncomfortable to watch.New Zealand will take heart from their strength in depth, while Pakistan are left to wonder if there are further depths to sink to.

"انسحاب وسوء تنظيم".. بيان ناري من فياريال عقب إلغاء مباراة برشلونة في ميامي

أصدر نادي فياريال بيانًا ناريًا بعد قرار رابطة أندية الدوري الإسباني بإلغاء مباراة برشلونة بالدوري الإسباني بمدينة ميامي الأمريكية.

كانت رابطة الدوري الإسباني والاتحاد الأوروبي للكرة القدم “يويفا” قد وافقا في وقت سابق على إقامة مباراة برشلونة وفياريال ضمن منافسات الجولة الـ 17 من الدوري الإسباني يوم 20 ديسمبر في ميامي.

وبسبب ذلك، نشبت حالة من الغضب الشديدة لدى قادة الفرق في الليجا، وفقًا لما أعلنت رابطة لاعبي كرة القدم الإسبانية، كما تقدم ريال مدريد بشكوى إلى المجلس الإسباني لكرة القدم اليوم اعتراضًا على ذلك.

وقدم نادي فياريال تقريرًا مفصليًا حول الأحداث السابقة أمام الجماهير مندهشًا من قرار الرابطة بإلغاء المباراة في حين أنها كانت صاحبة الفكرة، معتبرة ذلك فشلًا كبيرًا في تنظيم اللقاء.

وجاء بيان نادي فياريال على النحو التالي:-

يرغب نادي فياريال أن يعرب عن استيائه العميق من رابطة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم، بسبب سوء إدارة تنظيم المباراة المقرر إقامتها في ميامي ضد نادي برشلونة في 20 ديسمبر، بالجولة الـ 17 والتي لن تقام في نهاية المطاف، وبسبب ذلك يرغب النادي في تقديم تقرير مفصل عن التسلسل الزمني الكامل للأحداث المحيطة بهذه المسألة

مشروع إقامة مباراة في لا ليجا خارج إسبانيا هو مبادرة أطلقتها الرابطة نفسها بهدف توسيع نطاق المسابقة عالميًا، هذا الصيف اقترحت الرابطة على نادي فياريال المشاركة واستضافة المباراة التي ستُقام ضد نادي برشلونة قبل عطلة عيد الميلاد، وقد وافق نادي فياريال كما أعلن علنًا في مناسبات عديدة على هذا المشروع إيمانًا منه بفائدته الكبيرة لنمو النادي ومساهمته في تطوير المسابقة، ومع ذلك يتطلب تنفيذه شرطين أساسيين

ستُستخدم الأموال المخصصة لهذه المبادرة من قِبل الرابطة لتعويض حاملي تذاكر نادي فياريال الموسمية، وهم المتضررون فعليًا من هذا الوضع، لغيابهم عن إحدى المباريات المشمولة في تذاكرهم الموسمية، ويشمل ذلك سفرًا مجانيًا إلى ميامي لمشاهدة المباراة أو استردادًا جزئيًا لقيمة التذاكر.

ولن يحصل أي من الناديين المشاركين على أي فائدة مالية مباشرة مقابل لعب المباراة، حيث كان ينبغي استخدام الأموال لتعويض حاملي التذاكر الموسمية لفياريال، ولأن ذلك سيكون أيضًا غير عادل بالنسبة لأندية الدوري الأخرى.

تتفهم رابطة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم هذه الطلبات وتوافق عليها، ويواصل نادي فياريال متابعة تعليماته لإضفاء الطابع الرسمي على الطلب بين جميع الأطراف، حيث يجب أن تكون رابطة الدوري الإسباني نفسها، باعتبارها الهيئة المسؤولة والشخص الذي يقود هذه المبادرة على جميع المستويات، هي التي يجب أن تطلب جميع التصاريح المقابلة وتنقل جميع المعلومات إلى بقية الأندية والهيئات المختصة المختلفة مثل الاتحاد الإسباني لكرة القدم والاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم والاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم واتحاد كرة القدم الإسباني.

ومنذ أن بدأ النظر في إمكانية استضافة مباراة بهذا الحجم في الصيف، وفهمًا للتعقيد اللوجيستي لمباراة بهذا الحجم وتداعيات سفر أعداد كبيرة من المشجعين إلى قارة أخرى، جعل نادي فياريال نفسه متاحًا بالكامل لرابطة الدوري الإسباني وأكد على أهمية العمل المسبق والتخطيط لتلبية جميع الاحتياجات المقابلة.

نظرًا لضعف التقدم في تطوير وتنظيم الليجا، أعرب نادي فياريال مرارًا وتكرارًا عن قلقه العميق تجاهها، وحثها على تحديد جوانب أساسية وجوهرية، مثل تأكيد موعد المباراة والتعاقد مع وكالة سفر لرحلة بهذا الحجم، وهي أمور مهمة لبدء تنظيم الحدث.

في الواقع، كان من المقرر عقد اجتماع يوم الخميس المقبل، وفي حال عدم حل هذه المشاكل فورًا، كان سينسحب النادي من المشروع لعدم توفر الحد الأدنى من الشروط اللازمة للتنظيم.

ليلة أمس، وقبل دقائق من انطلاق مباراة دوري أبطال أوروبا بين فياريال ومانشستر سيتي على ملعب لا سيراميكا، تم إبلاغ النادي هاتفيًا من رابطة الليجا بإلغاء المباراة بناءً على قرار الشركة الراعية إلا أن المعلومات كانت سرية وسيتم البحث عن أفضل وقت لإعلانها بشكل مشترك، كما حدث في 8 أكتوبر لتأكيد موعد المباراة.

لكن بعد دقائق، وبشكل مفاجئ للنادي، قررت رابطة الدوري الإسباني إصدار بيان من جانب واحد يعلن إلغاء مباراة لفياريال خلال مباراة بهذه الأهمية للنادي، مما يدل على عدم احترام كامل وشامل للنادي، فضلًا عن الافتقار إلى الحساسية والتعاطف.

يأسف نادي فياريال لأن رابطة الدوري الإسباني، بصفتها الجهة المنظمة، لم تُحسن إدارة وتنظيم المباراة، ولم تتمكن من إقامتها في ميامي، معتبرًا أنها فرصة سانحة لنمو الأندية والدوري الإسباني على الصعيد الدولي.
