Kanpur Test / India Whitewash Bangladesh With A Stunning Win
Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja picked up wickets in a cluster on Day 5 to enforce a remarkable Indian victory over Bangladesh to seal the two-match series 2-0 at Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium.
Bangladesh resumed the fifth day’s play at 26-2 to find themselves another 26 runs behind India. Overnight batter and first-innings centurion Mominul Haque became the first man to depart in the day courtesy of some sharp leg-slip fielding from KL Rahul off Ravichandran Ashwin, who picked up his third wicket of the innings.
While captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (19) and opener Shadman Islam (50 off 101) steered Bangladesh past the opening hour without further casualty, Ravindra Jadeja tilted the tide back in India’s favor with a match-defining three-wicket burst. The Indian all-rounder dismissed Shanto and dangermen Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan in the space of just three overs as the visitors slipped to 94-7.
Akash Deep, meanwhile, snagged half-centurion Shadman Islam during his brief spell before Jasprit Bumrah mopped up the Bangladeshi tail to bag figures of 3-17 from 10 overs. Their collective brilliance enveloped Bangladesh’s second innings for 146 in an extended 36-over opening session to set India a 95-run target to seal the series 2-0.
In the pursuit of a quick victory, Indian captain Rohit Sharma attacked and perished at the top as he was caught out by Hasan Mahmud at long leg off Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Following Sharma’s dismissal in the third over of the chase for just eight, his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his onslaught and smashed his seventh fifty in Test cricket. Bangladesh did manage to get the wicket of Jaiswal and Gill, but India was never put under pressure and clinched the game by seven wickets.

FIFA Post on Hamza's Bangladesh Arrival
In March this year, the Bangladesh national football team did conditioning in Saudi Arabia. Bangladeshi-origin English footballer Hamza Chowdhury was supposed to join that camp. However, due to various complications, he did not get the Bangladeshi passport. As a result, this footballer could not join the team.
But this time, Hamza is only waiting to take the field for Bangladesh. Because, besides the passport to play for Bangladesh, he also got a no-objection letter from the England Football Association (EFA). After that, FIFA gave a message about Hamza.
FIFA's verified Facebook page posted Hamza's photo with the caption, "Hamza, the pride of the future Bangladesh."
Meanwhile, last Tuesday (September 24), BFF general secretary Imran Hossain Tushar told the media, "We have received a clearance from the England Football Association, meaning NOC, regarding Hamza." Now sent to FIFA. Hopefully, everything will be clear about Hamza within a month. Hamza will be able to play for Bangladesh soon if there is no problem.
It should be noted that there are Hamza Chowdhury's grandparent's house in Habiganj, Bangladesh. He has come to Bangladesh several times even though he did not get the light and air there as a child. This footballer has played in England's junior team.
Hamza Chowdhury once played for English Premier League club Leicester City. Then he played at Watford after Burton Albion on loan. Rumors spread about him playing in Bangladesh several times. Now that rumor is going to take form in reality.
If all goes well, Hamza Chowdhury can be seen in the Bangladesh jersey in FIFA next November.
Champions League: / German Club Borussia's Massive 7-1 Victory
Borussia Dortmund had a field day at home, thrashing Celtic 7-1 in a dominant Champions League performance.
On Tuesday night at Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund completely overwhelmed the Scottish club. Emre Can opened the scoring for the hosts with a penalty in the 7th minute. Celtic responded quickly, with Daizen Maeda equalizing in the 9th minute, but that was their last success.
Dortmund launched a relentless attack, with Karim Adeyemi restoring the lead in the 11th minute. The German winger completed a brilliant hat-trick by scoring two more goals in the 29th and 42nd minutes.
In the meantime, Serhou Guirassy scored from a penalty in the 42nd minute and added his second in the 66th minute to make it 6-1. Felix Nmecha sealed the victory with a 79th-minute strike, leaving Dortmund with a resounding 7-1 win over Celtic.
World Cup Opening Match / Tigresses to Face Scottish Women Today
The Women's T20 World Cup is being kicked off today. Bangladesh is facing Scotland to play the opening match. The match will start at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday (October 3) at 4 pm Bangladesh time.
The T20 World Cup has been shifted from Bangladesh to the United Arab Emirates due to political reasons.
Being a relatively easy opponent, the Tigresses want to start the T20 World Cup mission with a win. However, the victory of the Bangladesh team in the World Cup is not much celebrated. Bangladesh has played 21 matches in 5 World Cups since 2014, out of them only 2 were won. However, the Tigresses went to the United Arab Emirates with big dreams for this World Cup.
After the official photo session of the women's team on September 24, the captain Nigar Sultana Joty told about their plans.
The Bangladesh captain said, "I will try to win the match first. Except in 2014, we could not even win a single World Cup match. We played good cricket in recent times. But there is no point in playing good cricket if you cannot win matches. First of all, we want to win the match. Secondly, when we get the flow, I think our team will be able to play the semi-finals."
Joty said, "If we want to take our cricket a step further, there can be no bigger stage than the World Cup. If we perform well there, we want to do something good not only for us but for the rest of the girls who want to play cricket in the future wearing Bangladeshi jerseys."
She said that the first match is special, so we want to win the first match. It is the most special for us. Because the first match in the World Cup will be the 100th match of my T20 career. It will be a great achievement for me and my team. If Allah keeps me healthy, I will definitely play. If I play, the first goal will be to win.
Bangladesh squad: Nigar Sultana Joty(capt, wk), Nahida Akter, Murshida Khatun, Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Sobhana Mostary, Rabeya Khan, Sultana Khatun, Fahima Khatun, Marufa Akter, Jahanara Alam, Dilara Akter, Taj Nehar, Shathi Rani, Disha Biswas.
Futsal World Cup: Brazil in Final After 12 Years
After 12 years of the Futsal World Cup, Brazil, the highest five-time champion of the World Cup reached the final.
The Futsal World Cup semi-final match kicks off in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on Wednesday (October 2). Brazil beat Ukraine by 3-2 to win the final.
Brazil won dramatically in the semi-final which started at 9 pm Bangladeshi time. Diego from Brazil scored two goals in the match. The winning goal came from Ukraine itself. Ihor Korsun and Igor Chernyavsky scored twice for Ukraine.
Brazil took 52 shots on Ukraine's goalpost in the match, 16 of which were on target. Ukraine took 50 shots, 12 of which were on target. However, Ukraine's own goal eliminated them from the tournament.
Brazil is the maximum five-time champion in the Futsal World Cup. However, after 2012, they did not win the title again.
ICC Women's T20 World Cup / Bangladesh Opt to Bat Against Scotland
Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first against Scotland in the opening match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024.
Nigar Sultana, playing in her 100th T20I, did not hesitate when deciding to make first use of the surface in Sharjah. The sweltering heat - a high of 38 degrees Celsius heat, and 53% humidity - and a pitch that should play true, informed that decision. "We think it will be very good for batting, and the ball will come onto the bat nicely," the Bangladesh captain said.
Her opposite number Kathryn Bryce stated she, too, would have opted to set a total in these conditions.
Bangladesh, having qualified as the original hosts, is ranked ninth on the ICC T20I rankings, three places higher than Scotland. They have also won all four previous meetings between the two sides in this format. Sultana's charges completed their preparations in Dubai with a victory over Pakistan after losing to Sri Lanka in the warm-up matches, and are on the hunt for a first World Cup win since 2014 when they had previously hosted the tournament.
Scotland, meanwhile, will be looking to make a statement of intent in their first World Cup appearance of any kind. They earned the right by finishing as finalists in the qualifiers earlier this year, which were also played in the UAE, and were buoyed by victory against Pakistan in their first warm-up match before they also fell to Sri Lanka. Spinner Olivia Bell, who did not feature in the qualifiers, made Thursday's XI.
Skipper Bryce is also coming off the back of a memorable home summer, acknowledged at Tuesday's PCA Awards when she became the first non-English winner of the Women's Player of the Year award. It was one of four accolades for the 26-year-old, along with Domestic Overall MVP, Charlotte Edwards Cup Player of the Year, and captain of the Metro Bank Women's Team of the Year.
That this fixture acts as the curtain raiser owes to the fact the tournament had originally been scheduled for Bangladesh. Anti-government protests across the country between July and August led to the ICC shifting hosting duties to the UAE, making this the first women's T20 World Cup at a neutral venue.
Playing XI
Bangladesh: Shathi Rani, Murshida Khatun, Sobhana Mostary, Nigar Sultana (capt & wk), Taj Nehar, Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, Marufa Akter
Scotland: Saskia Horley, Sarah Bryce (wk), Kathryn Bryce (capt), Alisa Lister, Priyanaz Chatterji, Darcey Carter, Lorna Jack-Brown, Katherine Fraser, Rachel Slater, Abtaha Maqsood, Olivia Bell.

T20 World Cup 2024: / Bangladesh Women Clinch First Win, Defeat Scotland
Bangladesh kicked off their World Cup campaign with a 16-run win over Scotland. This is the Bangladesh women's team's third victory in the T20 World Cup, following two wins in the 2014 tournament against Sri Lanka and Ireland.
In their opening match of the 2014 T20 World Cup, Nigar Sultana Joty's team defeated Scotland by 16 runs. Bangladesh batted first and set a target of 119 runs, while Scotland was restricted to 103 runs.
Sobhana Mostary top-scored for Bangladesh with 36 runs, while Ritu Moni claimed 2 wickets for 15 runs with the ball.
With this match, Nigar Sultana Joty became the first Bangladeshi woman to play 100 international T20 matches. Additionally, Nahida Akter became the third Bangladeshi (across men’s and women’s cricket) to claim 100 international T20 wickets.
Scotland's innings began with Fahima Khatun dismissing their first batter. Saskia Horley, attempting a shot down the pitch, was stumped by Nigar Sultana Joty. Captain Kathryn Bryce was bowled by Marufa Akter for 11 runs.
Ailsa Lister scored 5 runs before being dismissed by Ritu Moni. Despite the fall of wickets, opener Sarah Bryce remained a threat. Meanwhile, wickets kept falling at the other end. Priyanaz Chatterji was run out, and Darcey Carter was dismissed by Ritu Moni after scoring just 2 runs.
Bangladeshi bowlers then triggered a collapse, taking one wicket after another. Lorna Jack was dismissed for 9 off 13 balls, leaving Scotland 6 wickets down.
Earlier, Bangladesh posted 119 runs for 7 wickets. The team's scoring rate was slow from the start. Murshida Khatun departed after scoring 12 runs off 14 balls, while Sathi Rani and Sobhana Mostary played cautiously as usual. After a 42-run partnership, Sathi was dismissed.
Sathi, who hit three boundaries, was out for 29 runs off 32 balls. Shortly after, debutant Taz Nehar was dismissed for a golden duck. In the warm-up matches, she had scored 17 runs against Pakistan and 16 against Sri Lanka.
Sobhana Mostary, despite her slow approach, appeared promising for a bigger score. However, she was stumped off Olivia Bell’s bowling in the 16th over after scoring 36 runs off 38 balls.
Sworna Akter, known as a hard-hitter, couldn't shine against the Scots. She was dismissed for 5 runs off 7 balls without hitting a boundary. Ritu Moni also lost her wicket, stumped by the wicketkeeper off Saskia Horley’s bowling, after scoring 5 runs. Captain Nigar Sultana Joty contributed 18 runs, while Fahima Khatun added 9.
