Amanjot Kaur scored her maiden Women’s Cricket World Cup half-century as India began their campaign with a 59-run victory (DLS Method) over Sri Lanka in a rain-affected opening encounter in Guwahati.
Amanjot (57) shared a 103-run partnership with Deepti Sharma (53), the only other player in the India contingent to score a half-century, as they helped India to recover from a mini collapse to post 269-8 after being inserted.
Sri Lanka bowled a great line and length to start, with Inoka Ranaweera (4-46) striking three times in the 26th over, but after a lengthy rain delay, which saw the game reduced to 47 overs, their accuracy began to fade and helped India to a formidable total.
In reply, Sri Lanka’s captain Chamari Athapaththu (43) top-scored for her side but was bowled by Sharma (3-54), who claimed a three-for as India skilfully bowled their opposition out for 211 in 45.4 overs.
The win gives India, who are the tournament favourites alongside seven-time winners Australia, two points as they hope to win their first title and with home advantage.

Top NFL player prop expert’s best bets for Week 5 include backing Drake Maye
At his weekly press conference on Wednesday, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was asked about the origin of his friendship with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, whom he will battle in this week's Sunday Night Football game in upstate New York.Maye explained the two quarterbacks share the same agency, Creative Artists Agency. He then continued, "We share a lot of the same things. We like playing golf. He's very down-to-earth. I like to say I'm down-to-earth."But Maye didn't mention arguably the most important thing that the two have in common right now: they're both playing winning football. From a statistical standpoint, the similarities between the Patriots' second-year starter and the reigning NFL MVP are uncanny.

Spurs break their curse with win at Leeds thanks to two deflected strikes
Tottenham ended their international break curse with a 2-1 win at Leeds to go within a point of Premier League leaders Liverpool thanks to deflected strikes from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus.Spurs had lost their last seven matches immediately before each mid-season pause since a 1-0 win at Luton on October 7, 2023 nearly two years ago to the day, but luck was on their side at Leeds, whose unbeaten run at home in the league ends after more than a year. Both of Spurs' goals went in against the run of play after taking a deflection off Leeds defender Pascal Struijk. The impressive Noah Okafor tapped in a deserved first-half equaliser for the hosts after Tel's opener but Kudus sealed the win with his first goal for Spurs.

The rejuvenation of George Springer: How Blue Jays veteran got conviction back as he swings for another title
TORONTO — George Springer steps to the plate in the final game of the regular season at the Rogers Centre. Right foot first, then left. He taps the plate with the tip of his bat. Takes a deep breath.Springer feels it again. It swells from within. It sits on his shoulders. Runs through his hands. It's not a sensation, but the absence of one. A tangible calm. For a time, he thought he lost it. Age, the relentless failure of baseball, his own inner dialogue, they conspired to rob him of perhaps his greatest strength. But as he digs his cleats into the dirt and stares at the mound, he believes it's back.Conviction. "I essentially got away from me being who I was," Springer said, "and what kind of made me successful."It's always been his secret sauce. The permission for his […]
