Phillips clubbed his century off 46 deliveries, the 10th fastest in the world and one ball faster than the previous New Zealand record held by Colin Munro. When he was dismissed on the penultimate delivery of the New Zealand innings, Phillips had scored 108 off 51 balls, with eight sixes and 10 fours, and having featured in a 184-run stand with Devon Conway. Conway was not out 65 at the close with New Zealand 238 for three. The West Indies, who lost the first match by five wickets and need a win to keep the three-match series alive, opted to bowl first on winning the toss. Skipper Kieron Pollard believed the overcast conditions would assist the side fielding first after rain had del

Buenos Aires: Diego Maradona's surgeon responded to the launch of an investigation for involuntary manslaughter by saying he did "everything he could, up to the impossible" for an "unmanageable" patient. Earlier in the day prosecutors in San Isidro, near Buenos Aires, said they were investigating Leopoldo Luque while Argentine television showed police raiding the doctor's surgery and home. A statement from the prosecutors' office later said they had begun analysing material gathered and clarified that "no decisions have been made at the moment regarding the procedural situation of any person." The probe was triggered by concerns raised by Maradona's daughters Dalma, Gianinna and Jana over the treatment he received for his heart condition at his home in Tigre, north of Buenos Aires, judicial sources said. Maradona died of a heart attack on Wednesday aged 60, and was buried on Thursday at the Jardin de Paz cemetery on the outskirts of th

Manama: Race officials and drivers praised the modern safety systems developed for Formula One on Sunday after Romain Grosjean said he was "okay" after surviving a high-speed crash and fireball blaze on the opening lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Frenchman's car rammed into the barriers as he braked hard from around 250 km/h (155 mph) during the opening lap, the front part hammering into the steel guardrails which buckled. Grosjean, 34, trapped in his cockpit, flew under the barrier as it gave way and as his car burst into flames, splitting in two on impact, but managed to escape with only "light burns" to his hands and ankles. "Hello everyone, just wanted to say I'm okay, well, sort of okay," said Grosjean from his hospital bed in a video posted on social media. "Thank you very much for all the messages."

Paris : Lille stuttered to a 1-1 draw against struggling Saint-Etienne on Sunday to miss the chance to draw level on points with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of Ligue 1, but the rest of the chasers took advantage of the defending champions' latest slip-up. Lille sit second in the table, two points behind PSG  —  who drew 2-2 with Bordeaux on Saturday  —  and above Lyon, Monaco and Montpellier on goal difference. Lyon continued their fine form with a 3-0 win over Reims while Monaco beat Nimes by the same scoreline to also move within two points of PSG. Montpellier, meanwhile, edged out Lorient. Lille would have hoped to take all three points from a Saint-Etienne side on a seven-match losing streak in the league before kick-off. But Christophe Galtier's team fell behind to a controversial first-half penalty from Tunisian Wahbi Khazri and needed a second-half strike from Jonathan Ikone to rescue a draw. Galtier was left frustrated by the decision to award Khazri the spot-ki

Margao : A revamped FC Goa will be aiming to get their first win of the season when they take on an equally strong NorthEast United FC in an ISL game on Monday. Goa made a sensational comeback in their opening game against Bengaluru FC to secure a 2-2 draw but then lost their second game 0-1 to Mumbai City FC. And come Monday, head coach Juan Ferrando, who has advocated an attacking brand of football, would be hoping that the team gets a full three points for the first time, which would serve as a morale-booster for the remaining season. For that to happen, FC Goa would bank on their Spanish striker Igor Angulo, who scored a brace in their game against Bengaluru. The 36-year old sharpshooter would have to deliver once again but will need support from other strikers  —  Aaren D'Silva, Devendra Murgaonkar, Ishan Pandita and Makan Chothe  —  whoever plays. In the mid-field, skipper Edu Bedia would have a key role to play. On his day, the Spaniard can decide the fate of the game a

Dakar: Former Senegal midfielder Papa Bouba Diop has died at the age of 42 after a long illness, local media and the West African state's football federation said on Sunday. Diop is best known in his native country for scoring the winning goal against then defending champions France in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup. The Senegalese squad went on to reach the quarter-finals of the tournament before they were knocked out by Turkey. Diop was also part of the team that lost to Cameroon on penalties in the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations final. He won the 2008 FA Cup with Portsmouth in a club career that included stints at French club Lens, Fulham, West Ham United and Birmingham City. Victor Cisse, the secretary general of the Senegalese football federation, confirmed Diop's death to AFP . Senegal's President Macky Sall said on Twitter on Sunday it was a "great loss" for the country. from Firstpost Sports Latest News https://ift.tt/3mmscw6

Madrid: Barcelona on Sunday followed the advice of coach Ronald Koeman and paid tribute to their former player Diego Maradona with an emphatic return to form in LaLiga and a 4-0 victory over Osasuna. Maradona, who played two seasons for Barca, died on Wednesday aged 60. Before the match, the club played 'The Song of the Birds' by Catalan cellist Pablo Casals as the teams stood around the centre circle where a Maradona shirt was laid on the centre spot. Lionel Messi, who has inherited Maradona's legendary Argentina number 10 shirt, bowed his head. Flags at the Camp Nou flew at half mast, Maradona's image was displayed on every screen and digital advertising hoardings while a club official held a framed Maradona Barcelona shirt. The Catalans have been struggling in La Liga and started the game 14th. On Friday, Koeman said the best tribute his team could pay Maradona was to "show what we can do on the pitch". He recalled Messi and Frenkie de Jong, who wer

Milan: A "mourning" Napoli honoured their club legend Diego Maradona on Sunday with a 4-0 victory over Roma, as AC Milan extended their lead in Serie A by beating Fiorentina. In Naples, players took to the pitch wearing a special Argentina-inspired jersey in tribute to Maradona, who died aged 60 on Wednesday. Captain Lorenzo Insigne curled in a free-kick after half an hour, celebrating his goal by holding up and kissing the No 10 jersey of the Argentina great. Fabian Ruiz added a second just after an hour, with club-record goalscorer Dries Mertens and substitute Matteo Politano adding two more in the final ten minutes. "There is an air of sadness," said Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso. 🔟💙 pic.twitter.com/TLgdkIEf8C — Official SSC Napoli (@en_sscnapoli) November 29, 2020 "This is a wonderful city even when the weather is bad and yet there is an atmosphere of mourning." A minute's silence had been observed before the game, as in all matches i

Prior to this series, India had conceded more than 370 only twice in ODIs. Only once before had the entire top-five of a team returned 50+ scores in the same ODI. Never before had India leaked over 100 for the first wicket in three successive ODIs. Never before had the entire top-three of a team returned 50+ scores in back-to-back ODIs. And the last time India had lost five ODIs in a row in the same calendar year, Greg Chappell was the coach and Virat Kohli had barely turned 18. The Indian ODI juggernaut  —  a win rate of 73% from the end of the 2017 Champions Trophy until the end of 2019  —  has been crushingly halted in its tracks in 2020. There’s a firm reasoning behind the chosen time-frame: it was in the aftermath of the bruising defeat to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final of 2017 that India made a marked change in the direction their team was to take in the 50-over game. The batting, while featuring a few changes in personnel through the period since, has largely worn a

Sydney: Star opening batsman David Warner faces a battle to be fit for the India Test series after Cricket Australia said Monday he will miss the last one-day international and the three-match Twenty20 series next month. Warner limped out of Sunday's one-day international against India after straining his groin while fielding as Australia secured the series 2-0 in Sydney. After a typically swashbuckling innings of 83 on Sunday, Warner fell awkwardly and had to be helped from the field. Warner will miss Wednesday's final ODI and all three Twenty20 internationals beginning Friday in Canberra to undergo rehab in an effort to ready for the Test series which begins on 17 December in Adelaide. Opening batsman D'Arcy Short has been called up to the Twenty20 international squad as a replacement. Cricket Australia also announced that leading pace bowler Pat Cummins will be rested for the remainder of the white-ball matches against India, putting pressure on an out-of-form Mit

London: Wolves captain Connor Coady said he is praying teammate Raul Jimenez will make a full recovery after the Mexican was taken to hospital with a head injury during his side's 2-1 win at Arsenal on Sunday. Jimenez received treatment from medics for 10 minutes on the pitch after colliding with David Luiz before being stretchered from the field early on in the game. Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed the 29-year-old is conscious and responding to treatment. "We knew straight away," said Coady. "He's with the right people but we hope and pray he's ok because he's the one we're thinking about right now "It's something we never want to see. I hope and pray everything is ok, the one thing that matters today is that he and David Luiz are ok." Luiz continued with blood seeping into a white bandage wrapped around his head until half-time, when he was replaced by Rob Holding, leading to fresh calls for the introduction of concussi

London: Tottenham moved to the top of the Premier League with a goalless draw against title rivals Chelsea, while Edinson Cavani inspired Manchester United's thrilling 3-2 win at Southampton on Sunday. Jose Mourinho's side climbed above previous leaders Liverpool on goal difference after a sterile London derby at Stamford Bridge. In the day's other match, Wolves won 2-1 at Arsenal despite seeing their Mexican striker Raul Jimenez taken to hospital after a nasty head injury. Tottenham are unbeaten in nine league games and Mourinho seemed happy to frustrate his former club as they adopted a cautious approach with little attacking ambition. "That was a game where we respected them and they respected us. Nobody gambled today or tried to change the direction of the game," Mourinho said. "I like the feeling of being top. We came from a difficult position last season and we are happy with that." Chelsea have not lost in their last 11 games in all competi

New Delhi:  Ethiopians Amedework Walelegn and Yalemzerf Yehualaw smashed course records to win the men's and women's titles respectively in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon held in a bio-secure environment amid the COVID-19 pandemic on Sunday. The results in this World Athletics Gold Label road race were unprecedented with both the men's and women's elite race winners re-writing course records. For India, Tokyo Olympics-bound Avinash Sable smashed the national record with a time of 1:00:30. The 26-year-old Sable, from Maharashtra, was 10th overall. According to the Athletics Federation of India's official records, the earlier national half marathon record stands at 1:03:46 in the name of Kalidas Hirave of Maharashtra. This year's race course was radically different from the last two years due to health protocols and the elite athletes ran under unprecedented circumstances due to the pandemic with the organisers providing them with a bio-secure zone.

Mount Maunganui : Glenn Phillips had already been acclaimed the toughest man in New Zealand cricket. On Sunday, he became the most valuable as he struck a 46-ball century to lead New Zealand to a 72-run win over the West Indies in the second T20I and a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. In a partnership with South Africa-born Devon Conway, who finished unbeaten on 65 after a maiden T20I half-century, Phillips added 185 runs and lifted the Black Caps to 238-3, their third-highest T20I total. The West Indies managed 166-9 in their 20 overs. Captain Kieron Pollard tried to blast the tourists to victory in the face of New Zealand’s massive total and following his 75 from 37 balls in the first match of the series. But he hit three sixes in a row off left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner before he holed out for 28 in the same over to New Zealand captain Tim Southee on the long-off boundary. Phillips took two catches in the West Indies innings, including a brilliant effort to dismiss Kyle M

Tokyo: The coronavirus-delayed Tokyo Olympics could cost $1.9 billion more than its original budget of $13 billion, a 15 percent increase, a report said on Sunday. The Olympics organisers will formally decide the increased budget for the Games as early as mid-December after communicating with the Japanese government and the host city Tokyo, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported, citing unnamed Olympic sources. The 2020 Games were pushed back a year as COVID-19 spread around the globe, and are now scheduled to open on 23 July, 2021. But the delay has thrown up a plethora of new costs, from rebooking venues and transport to retaining the huge organising committee staff. With many countries experiencing second or even third waves of infection, there have been doubts about whether the event can be staged, but organisers and Olympic officials insist it can be done safely. The extra 200 billion yen ($1.9 billion) on the pre-coronavirus estimate of 1.35 trillion yen ($13 billion) comes despite

Devon Conway (31 off 24) and Glenn Phillips (88 of 41), the batsmen in the middle, have forged a 121-run partnership for the third wicket.

Milan: Juventus again showed their reliance on Cristiano Ronaldo as, with the superstar attacker absent, they drew 1-1 at promoted Benevento on Saturday, while Serie A title rivals Inter Milan beat high-flying Sassuolo 3-0 to move second. The champions' fifth draw in nine league matches leaves Andrea Pirlo's side fifth, three points behind leaders AC Milan who face Fiorentina on Sunday. Ronaldo did not play after scoring in Juventus's 2-1 victory over Ferencvaros on Tuesday which sealed their berth in the Champions League last 16. "Every team is addicted to Ronaldo, even at Real Madrid he scored a lot," said Pirlo, describing the Portuguese star as "a catalyst". "He is an important player and it's normal that he makes you win games, but even without Ronaldo we have to be good at winning games." Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala started up front in Ronaldo's absence, which Pirlo put down to "tiredness". "(Ronaldo) had

Berlin : Borussia Dortmund lost at home to Cologne 2-1 and Bayern Munich survived a scare at Stuttgart to open a two-point lead in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Robert Lewandowski scored in Bayern’s 3-1 win, taking his tally to 12 in eight games and lifting the defending champions four points clear of Dortmund. Bayern were two points ahead of RB Leipzig, who moved to second after beating Arminia Bielefeld 2-1. Cologne held on in Dortmund to end their 18-game run without a win in the league. Max Kruse’s brilliant strike from distance rescued a 3-3 draw for Union Berlin against Eintracht Frankfurt. Borussia Monchengladbach defeated Schalke 4-1 and Augsburg drew with Freiburg 1-1. Bayern's scare  Although Lewandowski headed against the post in the third minute, it was the home side that made the better start in Stuttgart. Silas Wamangituka crossed for Tanguy Coulibaly to open the scoring on a counterattack in the 20th. Philipp Forster missed another good chance before Kingsley C

Madrid: Real Madrid slumped to a 2-1 loss at home to Alaves in LaLiga on Saturday as city rivals Atletico moved level with leaders Real Sociedad after extending their winning run to six matches. Lucas Perez scored a fifth-minute penalty at Alfredo di Stefano stadium and Joselu added a second just after half-time following an awful mistake by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Casemiro gave Real a lifeline on 86 minutes but Alaves held on for a victory that lifted them to ninth. Madrid remain in fourth place and six points behind Real Sociedad and Diego Simeone's Atletico. "I don't have any explanations," said Real coach Zinedine Zidane, whose side followed an impressive 2-0 midweek win at Inter Milan by losing for the third time in 10 league games this season. "We alternate between good and bad moments. The other day in Milan we played a good match, and today, three days later, we put in a display like that at home." "It was our worst start to a match t

Bambolim:  Two-time champions Chennaiyin FC will eye a second straight win when they take on Kerala Blasters FC in an Indian Super League match on Sunday. The Csaba Laszlo-coached CFC rode on goals from Anirudh Thapa and Isma to beat Jamshedpur FC and begin their campaign on a winning note. The Chennai-based side will be keen to keep the momentum going while the Blasters will look to notch up their first win. Thapa was the star of the Chennaiyin side in the first match and the coach would look up to him once again to provide the thrust upfront. CFC played an attacking game in that match and it is to be seen if they continue with a similar strategy. The CFC midfield also functioned well to thwart Jamshedpur's attacks and will again hold the key to success against the Blasters. Laszlo would, however, be aware that Kerala Blasters will be eager to open their account after letting go the opportunity against NorthEast United FC despite seizing the early advantage. The CFC coach ha

Vasco:  Their campaigns off to disappointing starts, both Odisha FC and Jamshedpur FC would be keen to register their first victory of the season when they take on each other in their second Indian Super League match on Sunday. While Odisha FC were beaten 0-1 by Hyderabad FC in their tournament opener on November 23 at Bambolim, Owen Coyle's Jamshedpur FC lost 1-2 against Chennayin FC a day later. And come Sunday, both the sides would be desperate to log their first three points of the season. Both Odisha FC and Jamshedpur FC had targeted fresh beginnings in the ISL season 7 with a new coaching team and new recruits. Having suffered defeats, both the teams will know the importance of stopping the rut before it turns into an uncontrollable downward spiral. Odisha will be concerned that they are yet to solve their defensive issues that plagued them last season, after looking shaky at the back against Hyderabad.

London: Jurgen Klopp again fumed at a "dangerous" schedule as Liverpool had two goals disallowed and conceded two penalties in a 1-1 draw at Brighton, while Man City clicked back into gear with a 5-0 thrashing of Burnley. Liverpool edged back to the top of the Premier League table, a point ahead of Tottenham, but were left frustrated by Pascal Gross's stoppage-time penalty which salvaged a point for Brighton. Klopp had voiced his displeasure all week at facing a lunchtime kick-off just three days after a Champions League defeat to Atalanta. Already hit by a huge list of injuries, the Reds suffered another setback when James Milner had to be replaced with a hamstring problem in the second-half. "Congratulations," Klopp said sarcastically to a television reporter for BT Sport . "You work for them yeah? Hamstring, surprise. "I've not had a go at the broadcaster, I just say how it is.
