Twenty-five days after starting their campaign, India have become the first team to qualify for the ODI World Cup semi-finals after a mammoth 302-run win over Sri Lanka in Mumbai on Thursday.”I’m very happy knowing we have officially qualified for the semi-finals, it’s been a good effort from the entire squad,” India captain Rohit Sharma said after India notched up their seventh win in seven games. “When we started off in Chennai, this was the first goal for us, to qualify first and then obviously, the semis and the final.”But all in all, I thought how we approached the seven games has been quite clinical. Everybody put in the effort. We wanted individuals to stand up and a lot of individuals towards these seven games put their hands up and stood up.”Related

Rohit said that players hitting top gear augurs well for the team at the business end of the tournament. He was particularly impressed with the likes of Shreyas Iyer, who had a few low scores coming in to the game and hit a quick 82 to lift the team to 357, and Mohammed Siraj, who rattled Sri Lanka with three wickets up front. Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah played their parts to ensure Sri Lanka were bowled out for 55 in under 20 overs.”Shreyas, as far as I know him, is a very strong lad, strong in his mind, and today, as you saw… he did what he is known for. And that’s what we expect from him; to take on the opposition and the bowlers,” Rohit said. “The couple of sixes he hit in his innings showed that he is there to take on that challenge in front of him. He’s been working very hard on his game and today we saw what he’s capable of.”As for Siraj, he’s a quality bowler and if he does that, it’s quite a big difference for us with the new ball. He can swing the ball, get the ball to get back in, he’s got a lot of skills when he is operating with the new ball.”

  WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?

  United want to team Calhanoglu up with a host of other signings this summer. Matheus Cunha has already joined from Wolves, with Bryan Mbeumo close to joining him from Brentford.

Manchester United are reportedly contemplating making a shock move to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer after his departure from Everton. With financial caution dictating this summer’s recruitment strategy, Amorim is believed to be keen on bolstering the squad with low-risk, high-upside signings, with Calvert-Lewin fitting the bill perfectly.

United eager to bolster their attackHave set their sights on Calvert-LewinHigh wage demands could be a complicationFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

According to early talks have taken place regarding a switch to Old Trafford, which would bring the ex-Toffees frontman back to the Premier League spotlight after a turbulent few seasons. While no longer at his peak, the 27-year-old's profile still appeals to Amorim. Between 2019 and 2021, the England international was among the league’s most promising centre-forwards, notching double-digit goal returns in consecutive campaigns.

United believe his blend of physicality, aerial strength, and Premier League experience makes him a valuable asset, particularly in a squad that lacks a dominant presence up top. Amorim, who is overseeing a squad rebuild, is also planning a substantial clear-out in the attacking department. Current forwards Rasmus Højlund, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony have all reportedly been made available for transfer. If United succeed in selling multiple attackers, a spot could open up for a striker comfortable in a rotational or backup role, an opening that Calvert-Lewin could fill.

DID YOU KNOW?

Despite initial interest, INEOS have reportedly paused discussions due to Calvert-Lewin’s hefty wage demands. According to journalist , the striker is seeking a significant pay rise from the £100,000-per-week salary he earned at Everton, leveraging his free-agent status for a lucrative contract. While the Red Devils are prepared to offer performance-related bonuses to mitigate financial risk, they remain hesitant to meet the full demands unless other targets fall through or Calvert-Lewin reduces his expectations later in the window.

With Matheus Cunha likely to lead the line and United still pursuing Bryan Mbeumo, Calvert-Lewin would not be expected to start regularly but could provide vital depth. Both sides stand to benefit as United get a veteran striker without a transfer fee, and the 28-year-old gains a fresh start at a top club with ambitions to return to domestic prominence.

تحدث أوليفر كان الرئيس التنفيذي السابق لبايرن ميونخ، عن قرار صفقة ليفربول الجديدة، برفض الانضمام للبافاري، وتفضيله التواجد ضمن صفوف الريدز هذا الصيف.

وكان ليفربول قد أعلن تعاقده مع عدد من الصفقات، لعل أبرزهم فلوريان فيرتز صانع ألعاب باير ليفركوزن السابق، في صفقة بلغت قيمتها 125 مليون يورو ليكون لاعباً جديداً للفريق الموسم المقبل، وقد كان ينافس الريدز، بايرن ميونخ، على ضمه.

وقال أوليفر كان في تصريحات لصحيفة “كيكر” الألمانية حول تفضيل اللاعب الانضمام إلى ليفربول على حساب عروض أخرى: “أتفهم انتقال فلوريان فيرتز للدوري الإنجليزي حيث إنه الدوري الأكثر جاذبية”.

وأضاف: “الدوري الألماني لا يقوم بأي دور كبير دولياً، عندما أتحدث للناس حول العالم يقولون إنه لا فرق بين البوندسليجا والدوري الفرنسي والإيطالي”.

وواصل كان حارس مرمى منتخب ألمانيا السابق تصريحاته: “الفرق بين الدوري الإنجليزي والدوري الإسباني مع بقية الدوريات في قارة أوروبا واضح”.

وختم: “لا تمثل إيرادات الدوري الألماني سوى جزء ضئيل مما يحققه البريميرليج من حقوق البث أيضًا، يجب أن يتحرك الدوري لدينا لنموذج إيرادات بديلة”.

جدير بالذكر أن فلوريان فيرتز قد خاض مع باير ليفركوزن في الدوري الألماني الموسم الماضي 31 مباراة، سجل 10 أهداف وصنع 12 أسيست.

Defending champions Adelaide Strikers have retained their core, Melbourne Stars will have Meg Lanning and huge name will boost Perth Scorchers

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Oct-2023

Adelaide Strikers Captain Tahlia McGrath
Coach Luke WilliamsSquad Georgia Adams (England), Jemma Barsby, Darcie Brown, Danielle Gibson (England), Katie Mack, Tahlia McGrath, Anesu Mushangwe, Courtney Neale, Annie O’Neil, Bridget Patterson, Maddie Penna, Megan Schutt, Ella Wilson, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa)How the draft wentAfter a first title last season, Strikers understandably emphasised retaining their core. They expectedly retained South Africa star Laura Wolvaardt who returns to Adelaide for the fourth straight season. She is likely to again bat in the top order. Strikers also drafted England allrounder Dani Gibson, who will make her WBBL debut this season after her emergence during the Ashes. The 22-year-old is an aggressive cricketer, who bowls quickly and offers firepower with the bat.How they stack upHaving agonisingly finished runners-up twice, Strikers finally went all the way last season and will start their title defence as perhaps the team to beat. The bulk of the title-winning team remains intact, but Strikers will miss West Indian Deandra Dottin who was the player of the final after a stellar performance with bat and ball. They will also be without wicketkeeper Tegan McPharlin, who has retired, with Bridget Patterson asked to take the gloves this season in what looms as something of a gamble. But it’s a squad brimming with talent across the board and Strikers especially boast a loaded attack led by spearheads Megan Schutt and Darcie Brown. Legspinner Amanda-Jade Wellington will again be the frontline spinner with English recruit Georgia Adams set to provide an offspin option and she’s also a versatile batter. Strikers should be in for another title-contending season.Player to watchIt’s hard to go past Tahlia McGrath. She’s Strikers’ inspirational captain and has blossomed into an international star, boasting the highest batting average in women’s T20I history. McGrath had entered the Australian season with extra motivation after a relatively lean Ashes campaign with the bat. McGrath, the world’s top-ranked T20I batter, rediscovered her belligerent best against West Indies with a couple of trademark whirlwind knocks to suggest the travails of the UK are in the rear-view. She’s also a quality seam bowler and her tactical nous is well regarded. It all means that McGrath will again shoulder a heavy burden for Strikers.Amelia Kerr will carry a heavy load for Brisbane Heat after a delayed arrival•Getty Images

Brisbane Heat Captain Jess Jonassen
Coach Ashley NoffkeSquad Mignon du Preez (South Africa), Lucy Hamilton, Nicola Hancock, Sarah Glenn (England, replacement), Grace Harris, Laura Harris, Bess Heath (England), Mikayla Hinkley, Ellie Johnston, Jess Jonassen, Amelia Kerr (New Zealand), Charli Knott, Grace Parsons, Georgia Redmayne, Courtney Sippel, Georgia VollHow the draft wentHeat predictably retained New Zealand legspinner Amelia Kerr with their platinum pick and she returns for a fourth season in Brisbane. But Kerr will miss the first four games of Heat’s campaign. They also selected England batter Bess Heath, who joins Heat after previously being with Melbourne Stars. Former South Africa batter Mignon du Preez was the marquee recruit for Heat through the direct nomination route having skipped the overseas player draft. Du Preez is the second-highest run-scorer in WBBL history among overseas players with 2292 runs at 28.29 and a strike-rate of 113.80 having previously played for Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars.How they stack upAfter a heartbreaking defeat to eventual champions Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger final, Heat will be hoping their relatively youthful squad can take another step forward as they eye a first title since back-to-back triumphs in WBBL 04 and 05. England star Danni Wyatt and India allrounder Pooja Vastrakar have departed, but Heat believe they have batting depth. Du Preez and Heath should fit nicely around top-order batters Georgia Redmayne and Grace Harris, while 20-year-old Georgia Voll is tipped to have a breakout season. Their bowling attack perhaps isn’t quite as potent as some of the other leading teams though there is much anticipation over left-arm quick Lucy Hamilton, who was part of Australia’s team at the Under-19 World Cup earlier this year. England legspinner Sarah Glenn will cover the early season absence of Kerr, who is part of New Zealand’s current tour of South Africa.Player to watchFor this relatively inexperienced group, the calming influence of skipper Jess Jonassen will be vitally important for a Heat team with big ambitions. She’ll also be relied upon to be a fulcrum of the attack with her versatile left-arm spin capable of being utilised at any stage of the innings. Throw in her batting capabilities late in the innings, it’s little wonder why she’s one of the most respected players in Australian cricket.Shabnim Ismail will bring a cutting edge to Hurricanes’ attack•AFP/Getty Images

Hobart Hurricanes Captain Elyse Villani
Coach Jude ColemanSquad Nicola Carey, Maisy Gibson, Heather Graham, Shabnim Ismail (South Africa), Ruth Johnston, Lizelle Lee, Hayley Silver-Holmes, Emma Manix-Greeves, Amy Smith, Bryony Smith (England), Rachel Trenaman, Molly Strano, Elyse VillaniHow the draft wentHurricanes were a big beneficiary of the chaos at the top of the draft. With Thunder, Renegades and Scorchers all chasing the big-name allrounders, they were able to lock in Shabnim Ismail to bolster their attack despite Ismail being a retention option for Renegades. They then looked slightly left-field taking English offspinning allrounder Bryony Smith despite her limited international experience. But she had a solid Hundred tournament and opened the batting alongside Lizelle Lee at Trent Rockets. Lee bypassed the WBBL draft to be a direct signing for Hurricanes. Lee and Smith shared three 60-plus opening stands in the Hundred this season and could be reunited at the top of the order for Hurricanes if captain Elyse Villani bats down the order, as she did in five matches last season.How they stack upDespite Hurricanes and Tasmania’s WNCL programs being closely linked together Hurricanes have not been able to match Tasmania’s recent domestic success although they did make the finals last year after a dismal run over the previous five seasons. They have a solid core of experienced players without any out-and-out superstars. Lee, Villani, Heather Graham, Nicola Carey and Smith will form the backbone of the batting. Graham and Carey bowl a lot of the key overs along with spin duo Molly Strano and Maisy Gibson. Ismail’s inclusion adds some firepower to the attack and could make them very dangerous. They have enough talent to be a threat.Player to watchShabnim Ismail could be a difference maker for Hurricanes. She is still bowling very well despite retiring from international cricket in May. She is only eight months removed from taking 2 for 26 in the T20 World Cup final at home against Australia. She didn’t bring her best for Renegades last summer but she has a history of delivering in the WBBL. She was pivotal in Sydney Thunder’s title in 2020, taking 2 for 12 including the wickets of her new Hurricanes captain Villani and Australia captain Meg Lanning to be named player of the match. If she can be a strike weapon for Hurricanes, then they loom as a tough team to beat.Meg Lanning has been in form for Victoria early season•Getty Images

Melbourne Stars Captain Meg Lanning
Coach Jonathan BattySquad Maia Bouchier (England), Alice Capsey (England), Sophie Day, Sophia Dunkley (England), Nicole Faltum, Tess Flintoff, Kim Garth, Olivia Henry, Milly Illingworth, Meg Lanning, Rhys McKenna, Jas Nevins, Sasha Moloney, Sophie Reid, Annabel SutherlandHow the draft wentStars took a slightly different approach to the draft than other clubs in terms of their picks. They only took two players at the draft, which most clubs did, and then signed Sophia Dunkley as a direct nomination post-draft. But they opted to bring back England youngsters Alice Capsey and Maia Bouchier, who have both played for Stars previously, rather than some of the more experienced and proven names available in the platinum and gold categories. They had the option of taking Ismail to bolster their bowling but instead committed to the England duo. Bouchier played for Stars in 2021, just after her international debut, but has developed significantly as a player since then and was the fourth-leading scorer in the women’s Hundred this year. Capsey played all 14 games last season for Stars. She was their second-highest run-scorer and took nine wickets at an economy rate of just 6.98. Dunkley arrives for her first stint in the WBBL but comes as a proven international batter to give Stars batting some real depth and power.How they stack upStars have been the competition’s least competitive team having made just one finals series in 2020, although they did make it all the way to the final where they lost to Sydney Thunder. Last season they finished sixth and battled for depth in the absence of Lanning. But with the skipper returning and already finding some touch in the WNCL, as well as the addition of Dunkley and Bouchier, Stars suddenly bat very deep. The attack is a fraction light on but Kim Garth, Annabel Sutherland, Sasha Moloney and Sophie Day provide a reasonable core with Capsey able to add support. There is also some excitement about 18-year-old Victorian quick Milly Illingworth who looks set to make her WBBL debut this year.Player to watchAll eyes are on Meg Lanning. Her absence was felt competition-wide last year but especially by Stars. She is back fully fit and has already made a bright start in the WNCL with a brisk half-century on her return. If she has a big season with the bat, Stars will be very well-placed to make a run at the title. She has yet to captain on her return to cricket but her leadership experience will be invaluable for a very young group.Hayley Matthews is currently in the form of her life•Getty Images

Melbourne Renegades Captain Hayley Matthews
Coach Simon HelmotSquad Tammy Beaumont (England), Sarah Coyte, Josie Dooley, Jess Duffin, Ellie Falconer, Ella Hayward, Ellie Falconer, Harmanpreet Kaur (India), Hayley Matthews (West Indies), Sophie Molineux (out injured), Georgia Prestwidge, Tayla Vlaeminck (out injured), Georgia Wareham, Courtney WebbHow the draft wentThe draft could not have gone better for Renegades retaining two of the world’s best players without needing to use their retention pick. While all of the clubs were keeping an eye on which world-class allrounder Sydney Thunder would take out of Marizanne Kapp and Sophie Devine, Renegades happily picked the world’s most in-form allrounder at present in Hayley Matthews with pick No. 2. They then waited as every other club passed on Harmanpreet Kaur and they were about to select India’s captain in the second round. The only cost of those was not retaining Shabnim Ismail but coach Simon Helmot had prioritised batting as a key area to bolster coming into the draft. They added Tammy Beaumont as a direct signing after the draft to lock-in arguably the best top-three in the WBBL.How they stack upHaving finished second on the table in 2021-22 and just missed the final, they had a poor season last year and finished second last. The absences of Harmanpreet and Jess Duffin then the season-ending injury to Molineux hurt them. They simply did not score enough runs with only two players averaging more than 20 for the season and none more than 27. Matthews was their highest runscorer with 253 from 14 innings, a paltry return compared to her 310 in three for West Indies against Australia just recently. They were very steady and miserly with the ball though and with some added batting strength this season that could set them up for success. It is a significant blow that Molineux has been ruled out for the whole season, but Harmanpreet’s return, after she was player of the tournament in 2021-22 is huge. Matthews returns a completely different player. Beaumont has been a run-machine in England this season becoming the first woman to score a century in the Hundred while Duffin returns after completing her Australian rules football career and adds valuable experience in the middle order. Fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck will also miss the entire campaign as her injury-hit career continues.Player to watchThe WBBL hasn’t seen the best of Hayley Matthews yet. She has one fifty in 67 innings in her WBBL career, averaging 18.32 and striking at 100.53. Her economy rate with the ball in the WBBL is also higher than her career T20 rate although it is still good at 6.74. But she returns as a different player having won eight consecutive T20I player of the match awards and having tormented Australia, the all-conquering World Champions, with both bat and ball in the recent series. She was also player of the tournament at the inaugural WPL earlier this year, helping Mumbai Indians win the title, and led Barbados Royals to the WCPL title scoring 82 and taking two wickets in the final. If that version of Matthews turns up at the WBBL fully fit, look out.All-round star: Perth Scorchers kept Sophie Devine at the WBBL draft•Getty Images

Perth Scorchers Captain Sophie Devine
CoachBecky GrundySquad Chloe Ainsworth, Charis Bekker, Stella Campbell, Piepa Cleary, Maddy Darke, Sophie Devine (New Zealand), Amy Edgar, Lisa Griffith, Amy Jones (England), Alana King, Lilly Mills, Beth Mooney, Taneale Peschel, Chloe Piparo, Nat Sciver-Brunt (England), Lauren Winfield-Hill (England)How the draft wentCaptain Sophie Devine returns after the Scorchers used their platinum selection on her. It will be her fourth season at the Scorchers, who she led to the title in WBBL 07. Scorchers also drafted England batter Danni Wyatt, but she withdrew from the tournament due to fatigue. It is understood Scorchers have pulled of a huge coup by securing England allrounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, who did not nominate for the draft, for an eight-game stint mid-tournament with Lauren Winfield-Hill to play the first six games until she arrives. England wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones was secured through the direct nomination routeHow they stack upHaving won their first title in WBBL 07, Scorchers struggled last season and missed the finals. But hopes are high of a rebound under new head coach Becky Grundy, who takes the reins from Shelley Nitschke. Scorchers lost star allrounder Marizanne Kapp, but their opening partnership of Devine and Beth Mooney – a cornerstone of their title success – remains intact. They have a balanced attack with Alana King and Lilly Mills set to again form a menacing spin tandem. With a nice blend of international stars and local talent, bolstered by Sciver-Brunt’s appearance, the Scorchers should be back in the title mix.Player to watchScorchers’ title hopes were boosted by the addition of one-time Test quick Stella Campbell to beef up their pace stocks. It was an area that needed strengthening with Scorchers reliant on veterans Devine, Taneale Peschel and Piepa Cleary. Towering quick Campbell could ignite a career stalled by injuries on a WACA pitch where she might be able to generate significant bounce. Campbell, 21, had limited success with Sydney Sixers, but she’s one of the quickest bowlers in the country when fit. If she can stay on the field then Campbell might prove an x-factor for Scorchers, while re-emerging in the frame for national selection.Alyssa Healy will power Sydney Sixers’ top order•Getty Images

Sydney Sixers Captain Ellyse Perry
Coach Charlotte EdwardsSquad Jade Allen, Suzie Bates (New Zealand), Maitlan Brown, Erin Burns, Mathilda Carmichael, Lauren Cheatle, Ash Gardner, Alyssa Healy, Emma Hughes, Jess Kerr (New Zealand), Kate Pelle, Kate Peterson, Ellyse Perry, Linsey Smith (England), Gabby Sutcliffe, Chloe Tryon (South Africa)How the draft wentThe injury to England spinner Sophie Ecclestone was a spanner in the works to their plans as she would have been a certainty to be retained. They have tried to replace her with two players: South Africa allrounder Chloe Tryon, who can provide some left-arm spin and hitting power, and New Zealand swing bowler Jess Kerr who has an excellent record in the powerplay but it remains to be seen whether the sum of those parts add up. Suzie Bates will return at the top of the order after taking the direct nomination route.How they stack upPlenty of familiar names led by the headline Australia trio of Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry and Ash Gardner. Sixers managed to shake off three years of underachievement last season by reaching the final – surging through the round-robin stage with 11 wins from 14 matches – before falling at the last hurdle against Strikers. Pace bowler Kate Peterson emerged as a wicket-taking star in the latter stages of last season. Alongside Ecclestone’s absence they have also lost the offspin of the retired Nicole Bolton while Perry is not expected to be able to bowl at the start of the tournament, and will miss the opening game due to an over-rate ban stemming from last season. Batter Mathilda Carmichael has made the move from Perth Scorchers. They have also put faith in youth with the signing of 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batter Kate Pelle.Player to watchAsh Gardner was player of the tournament last season with 339 runs (strike-rate 150.66) and 23 wickets and a few months later became the most expensive female player in the world at the WPL draft. The dynamic allrounder will be pivotal to Sixers’ hopes again. It has been a quiet start to the international season for her with the bat, but she has chipped in with the ball. There is a chance she will float a little in the batting depending on how the Sixers’ top order goes.Marizanne Kapp will bring all-round star quality to Sydney Thunder•ICC via Getty Images

Sydney Thunder Captain Heather Knight
Coach Lisa KeightleySquad Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka), Sam Bates, Lauren Bell (England), Paris Bowdler, Hannah Darlington, Marizanne Kapp (South Africa), Saskia Horley, Ebony Hoskin, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Heather Knight (England), Anika Learoyd, Phoebe Litchfield, Claire Moore, Olivia Porter, Lauren Smith, Tahlia WilsonHow the draft wentAfter finishing bottom last season, Thunder had the No. 1 draft pick and it feels like they came out of it very strongly. There was little surprise when they went with allrounder Marizanne Kapp who will bring class with bat and ball, then they were able to supplement her with England captain Heather Knight, who was a key part of the 2020-21 title and will lead them this season. England team-mate Lauren Bell was their third pick and the pace bowler will add another cutting edge to the attack. However, depending on the dates of England’s tour to India in December, Knight and Bell could be among the players who won’t be available for finals.How they stack upAfter being champions three seasons ago they have had two tough campaigns, finishing with just one win in 2022-23 which was Rachael Haynes’ last before retirement. It has, therefore, been a complete change at the top with Trevor Griffin replaced as coach by Lisa Keightley. The local names will be led by Phoebe Litchfield whose development as a T20 batter in recent months, highlighted by her record-equaling 18-ball fifty against West Indies, brings huge potential for Thunder in this tournament. The pace attack looks much stronger this season while Sam Bates is a consistent spinner. They could also have struck gold by recruiting Chamari Athapaththu from outside the draft.Player to watchLast season was interrupted one for Hannah Darlington due to injury and she played just seven matches taking seven wickets while her economy rate was high at 8.43. She has slipped down the Australia pecking order since her appearances in 2021 but there is another T20 World Cup next year in Bangladesh. The arrival of Kapp and Bell should take some of the pressure of her in the pace attack.

Her late onslaught with the bat changed the mood of the game after Stars’ bowlers had been on top

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Oct-2023Charli Knott produced a decisive all-round contribution as Brisbane Heat confirmed their standing as the early-season pacesetters in the WBBL with victory over Melbourne Stars to make it four wins from four.Knott gave a stuttering Heat batting performance, which had included just eight runs off the two power surge overs, a late boost with 31 off 14 balls. She dominated a stand of 43 alongside Georgia Voll that enabled 51 runs to come from the last five overs.Opening the bowling, she then gave Heat the ideal start as a viciously-spinning offbreak ripped through Sophia Dunkley to leave the England batter perplexed at what had happened.Heat’s spinners had a major say in the chase with Knott, Sarah Glenn and captain Jess Jonassen taking six wickets between them.Glenn claimed the huge wicket of Meg Lanning when she missed a sweep while Jonassen removed Maia Bouchier with a low caught-and-bowled opportunity. Knott’s second wicket came courtesy of a stunning running catch at deep square leg by Nicola Hancock to haul in Nicole Faltum’s powerfully struck sweep.While Alice Capsey remained there was hope for Stars, but when she was stumped off Jonassen for a 43-ball 52 there was too much left to do despite Kim Garth’s best efforts.Heat had made a strong start with the bat and reached 49 without loss in the sixth over before Ellie Johnston, playing in place of the rested Georgia Redmayne, top-edged a short ball from young quick Milly Illingworth having pulled her for six earlier in the over.Grace Harris couldn’t quite find her stride before playing across a full delivery from the impressive Annabel Sutherland. Stars continued to chip away with the ball and at 99 for 5 in the 16th they were on top, but Heat’s late flourish changed the complexion.

Naquele ano, além de ter somado 80 pontos, o Verdão comandado por Felipão liderou diversos quesitos ao longo do torneio: foi o time com mais vitórias (22), menos derrotas (4), melhor ataque (64 gols marcados) e melhor defesa (26 sofridos).

Weverton e Gustavo Gómez chegaram ao clube na temporada da conquista citada. O goleiro disputava posição com Fernando Prass e Jailson, enquanto o zagueiro rapidamente assumiu a titularidade na defesa, ao lado de Luan, que assinou com o Verdão um ano antes. O trio defensivo, inclusive, logo começou a colher os frutos de boas atuações.

Outro que passou a fazer parte do elenco no início do ano de 2018 foi Marcos Rocha. Ainda que contestado, o lateral passou a receber maiores chances ao longo das temporadas e se firmou como titular absoluto, desbancando o companheiro Mayke, que foi eleito o melhor da posição naquele campeonato.

Do meio para frente, Gustavo Scarpa representa a honra de ser bicampeão pelo Palmeiras. Depois de passar por algumas lesões, o meia chegou ao Verdão também naquele ano e começou a se firmar na posição, vivendo seu período de maior consistência sob o comando de Abel Ferreira, de 2020 para cá.

O Palmeiras de Abel Ferreira desbancou o de Felipão não só nos números, mas também na importância dos jogadores citados. Hoje todos eles são pilares para um esquema vitorioso e destruidor de recordes.

ولعب عمر مرموش مع مانشستر سيتي 25 مباراة في كل المسابقات الموسم الماضي سجل 8 أهداف وصنع 3 أهداف، وسجل مع ناديه الألماني السابق 20 هدفًا وصنع 14.

ولم يعجب الكثير من المتفاعلين على منصة “إكس” استبعاد عمر مرموش من سباق المرشحين للفوز بجائزة الكرة الذهبية، وفيما يلي جاءت ردود الفعل:

“أنا في حيرة من أمري، لماذا تم ضم فينسيوس جونيور للقائمة بينما مرموش قدم موسمًا أفضل منه حرفياً ولم يتم اختياره، سجل 28 هدف وصنع 17 تمريرة حاسمة أي أكثر من 40 مساهمة، موسم مرموش تعرض للسرقة يا أخي لأنه لا يستطيع الفوز بالكرة الذهبية لكنه على الأقل يستحق الترشح”.

proper baffled why vini’s made the list when marmoush quite literally had a better season than Him and yet didnt make the cut brah 28 goals 17 assists MAN 40 G/A marmoush got so robbed bro yk he can’t win the ballon d’or but he at least deserved a nomination — lara (@suacynth) August 7, 2025

“حوار جاد، هل تم حرمان عمر مرموش من الترشح لجائزة الكرة الذهبية”

Serious conversation did Omar Marmoush get robbed off a ball d’or nomination ?? pic.twitter.com/MHu0zHGIUP — Aysan ⁷ ⁷ 🇪🇬 (@CTYAysan) August 7, 2025

“لا يوجد مرموش ولا مويسيس كايسيدو ولكن يوجد فلوريان فيرتز وفينسيوس جونيور، إنه شيء مثير للضحك”

No Marmoush and Caicedo but Florian and Vini

Lmao….wetin Vini do last season 😂😂😂 — Zhubbie (@Zhubbie2) August 7, 2025

“سجل عمر مرموش 28 هدف وصنع 17 تمريرة في الموسم الماضي ولا يعد ضمن قائمة المرشحين للكرة الذهبية لكن ديكلان رايس مرشح في القائمة؟”.

Omar Marmoush had 28 goals and 17 assists last season and did not make it to the Ballon’Dor nomination list But Declan Rice is on there man🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/YDdCh7WbzU — Mamo M. (@BigMamo2) August 7, 2025

“عمر مرموش أحد أبرز المهاجمين في أوروبا الموسم الماضي، قاد هجوم فرانكفورت وأرعب دفاعات الفرق أسبوعياً وتألق في المباريات الحاسمة، استبعاده من الترشيحات جريمة في حق كرة القدم”.

Omar Marmoush was one of the most electric forwards in Europe last season.
Led Frankfurt’s attack, terrorized defenses weekly, and turned into a clutch performer.

Leaving him out of the Ballon d’Or nominations isn’t just an oversight it’s a crime against football.#ManCity pic.twitter.com/ry7oyWCi9O — omar Marmoush 💙 (@OmarMarmoush_7) August 7, 2025

“لاوتارو مارتينيز تم ترشيحه ولكن أوسيمين وعمر مرموش لم يتم استدعائهما”.

“أنا غاضب، عمر مرموش سجل 28 هدف وصنع 17 تمريرة حاسمة ومن بين أفضل أربعة هدافين في الدوري الألماني، جاء للبريميرليج وفاز بجائزة هدف الشهر ولكنه لم يتم ترشيحه”.

Am angry bro…. Omar Marmoush had 28 goals and 17 assist and was top 4 goalscorer in Bundesliga,,, came to PL and won “Goal of the month” But wasn’t nominated…

Tijjani won Seria A best midfielder ladt season but still no nomination…. Okay then we go again next season😢 — BIGGEST VICTORIA🔰💡💰🎙🎖(MANCITY 4PEAT🏆🏆🏆🏆) (@HerMajesty_QV1) August 7, 2025

“إنجازات مرموش، خامس أكثر لاعب مساهمة للأهداف في أوروبا مهد الطريق لفرانكفورت لاحتلال أحد المراكز الأربعة الأولى،قاد مانشستر سيتي للمركز الثالث وكان هدافها وأفضل لاعب فيها وسجل هاتريك في 15 دقيقة بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز وحصد جائزة هدف الموسم،ما هي إنجازات فينسيوس”.

Marmoush achievements:
5th most g/a in Europe
Setting Frankfurt up for a top 4 finish
Saving a finished city and getting them 3rd while being their top scorer and best player
15 minute prem hattrick
Prem goal of the season

Vini’s achievements:

“هل تعلمون أغرب شئ في جائزة الكرة الذهبية أن فيرتز مرشح وعمر مرموش غير مرشح”.

OK do you guys knows the actual weirdest thing about the ballon dor…
It’s that Wirtz got nominated instead of Marmoush — liam liam liam (@horsebox98) August 7, 2025

“لم يتم ترشيح عمر مرموش لأنه لم يسجل هدفين في ريال مدريد بركلات حرة مثل ديكلان رايس”

He did not score two free kicks against Madrid like Declan Rice 😭😂 — Xtra Cheese (@matjonas100) August 7, 2025

Akeal Hosein’s sensational 5 for 6 in two overs dismantled Samp Army, as New York Strikers posted a 41-run win in Qualifier 1 on Friday to storm into the Abu Dhabi T10 final.Defending 121, Strikers’ left-arm spinner picked up a hat-trick in the first over of the innings, dismissing Andries Gous, Dewald Brevis and Ibrahim Zadran, to leave Samp Army reeling at 1 for 3. In his second over, Hosein removed the opposition captain Faf du Plessis and also Najibullah Zadran in the space of three balls to further rattle Army. Jason Holder’s 22 off 11, and Qais Ahmad’s unbeaten 31 off 13 at No. 10 meant Army huffed and puffed to 80 for 9.Earlier, opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s blazing 56 off 28 set the tone for Strikers to post a competitive 121 for 5. His knock included four fours and five sixes. In the end, Asif Ali smashed three fours in his unbeaten seven-ball knock of 17 to further lift Strikers.Nicholas Pooran was in a marauding mood•Abu Dhabi T10

.A six-hitting show by Nicholas Pooran and Tom Kohler-Cadmore helped Deccan Gladiators eliminate Bangla Tigers.Chasing 113, Gladiators hardly broke a sweat, and romped home by ten wickets with 20 balls to spare. Pooran finished on 70 not out off just 25 balls, with eight fours and five sixes. Kohler-Cadmore kept him company with a 16-ball 43, and hit four fours and three sixes.This was after Gulbadin Naib’s 26-ball 52 not out propelled Tigers to 112 for 6. Batting at No. 5, Naib hit two sixes and three fours after coming in at 20 for 3 in the third over, but this didn’t prove to be enough.Andre Russell and Nuwan Thushara, meanwhile, returned two wickets apiece.Afghanistan wristspinner Waqar Salamkheil finished with impressive figures of 3 for 6 to stun Samp Army and power Deccan Gladiators into the Abu Dhabi T10 final.Gladiators, who had already eliminated Bangla Tigers, made 117 for 5 batting first. Pooran, the star of their win in the eliminator, gave the team a blazing start with a nine-ball 26, before Tom Kohler-Cadmore (36*) and Imad Wasim (35) built on that platform with a 57-run stand for the third wicket. While Wasim eventually fell in the eighth over, Kohler-Cadmore remained unbeaten, smashing three fours and two sixes.Army were rocked early in their chase, slumping to 24 for 5 by the fifth over, as Salamkheil rattled the team’s top and middle order with crucial blows. Karim Janat, coming in at No.7, provided some fireworks by blasting 31 off just 14 balls, but once he was dismissed by Andre Russell in the eighth over, Gladiators’ win was just a formality.
