Hamilton, Nov 26 (Cricket News) India would expect a better approach from skipper Shikhar Dhawan and young Shubman Gill in the Powerplay overs when the team clashes with New Zealand in the do-or-die second One-Day International here on Sunday. The Seddon Park is a three-way open ground but is known for being one of the batting friendliest tracks in New Zealand where willow wielders would get value for their shots. Dhawan (72 off 77) and Gill (50 off 65 balls) added 123 in their opening stand but on a small Eden Park ground, a score of 306 for 7 was…

(Football news) Qatar became the first host nation to crash out of the World Cup after they slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Senegal at the Al Thumama Stadium despite Mohammed Muntari netting the country's first-ever World Cup goal. A draw for Netherlands against Ecuador meant that the Qatari nations became the first side to be mathematically eliminated from the competition. The opening-night nerves were nowhere to be seen as Qatar this time around quickly got to grips with Senegal and they were undone by the referee a bit as they should have had a penalty when Ismaila Sarr bundled…

(Football news) After losing the first game 6-2 against England, Iran looked down and out but they have managed to stun the world. Carlos Queiroz's men managed to get a 2-0 win over Wales with 2 goals in injury time. The victory now puts them in a good position to secure qualification as they just need a win against the USA. Wales on the other hand will be extremely disappointed with their performance as they now have a very miniscule chance of making it to the Round of 16, especially because they play England in the next match. Wales made…

After thrashing Iran 6-2, England instantly became one of the tournament favourites but in…
