MI, DC meet in high-stakes clash for last playoffs spot

MI will go through if they win, but victory for DC will extend the playoffs race further

Bumrah, the gold standard for T20 bowling

The big picture: MI qualify if they winMumbai Indians (MI) find themselves in an unusual situation. They will be in action on the fifth day after IPL 2025 resumed. That is more than two weeks after their previous match – against Gujarat Titans (GT) on May 6. And as soon as they hit the field, they face almost a must-win situation.If MI beat Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday, they will enter the playoffs. If they lose, a lot will hinge on a couple of games: DC’s match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) first and then MI’s own match against PBKS. MI would not want to tempt fate further by leaving it too late, even though their net run-rate of 1.156 is easily the best of all the teams.Related

The first jailbreak for MI came against the same opponent earlier this season. They had lost four of their first five matches before landing in Delhi. Three run-outs in the last over didn’t just help MI beat DC but also start a run of six successive wins. One that kept their hopes alive.They again face DC at a crucial time in the season. And they are coming off a close defeat.For DC to qualify, they ideally need two wins out of two. A loss on Wednesday will knock them out. And winning on Wednesday but losing their last game will leave them hoping MI also lose their last match. It’s a tough ask for DC considering they have lost four of their last five completed matches and are now without Mitchell Starc.Form guideMumbai Indians LWWWW
Delhi Capitals LLLWLIn the spotlight: Jasprit Bumrah and KL RahulMI’s bowling attack has looked quite different after the return of Jasprit Bumrah from injury. He has bowled across each phase – 11 overs each in the powerplay and the death and ten in the middle. In the first four games without Bumrah, MI’s death-overs economy rate was 11.18, which has improved to 9.07 in the games since. While DC took him apart in the first fixture, it was just his second game upon return. They will now counter him at a venue where he averages 12.88 this season.In the words of bowling coach Munaf Patel, KL Rahul “asked for” the opening spot in DC’s last game and responded with an unbeaten century. He now comes to the Wankhede where he averages 63.40 in the IPL. And he will face MI against whom he averages 74.23 and strikes at 135.15 with six fifties and three hundreds. He also has a favourable match-up against Bumrah (average 73, strike rate 123.72, two dismissals), Deepak Chahar (strike rate 159.59 for no dismissals in 99 balls) and Trent Boult (average 49, strike rate 148.48 for two dismissals).2:22

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) had to score a big total of 221 in order to successfully defend it. With chances of rain in Mumbai on Wednesday evening, teams will be inclined to chase once again.Stats and trivia Suryakumar Yadav has 25-plus scores in each of his last 12 innings, the longest streak in the IPL. Temba Bavuma holds the record for the longest such streak in men’s T20 cricket – 13 innings. Axar Patel has opened the bowling in three of the last four games he has bowled in. There is a case for him to do so against MI on Wednesday – with his positive match-up against Rohit Sharma: 69 balls, 63 runs, three dismissals. Rohit needs to hit three sixes to become the first Indian to 300 sixes in the IPL. Only Chris Gayle (397) has more in the IPL. DC average 19.83 for the opening wicket in IPL 2025, the lowest among all teams.Quotes”It will matter because he is our main fast bowler who bowls at 145kph, swings the ball and that too at the Wankhede wicket where both swing and bounce is available. It matters 100%, but when there is no option, you have to think of other alternatives, you cannot get stuck thinking ‘oh he is not there now, what will happen?'”
“It’s still a game of cricket, whether it’s a World Cup final, whether it’s an IPL final. I can’t control the dynamics. I can’t control the fans or how media is reacting to the whole thing. What I can control is to make sure the guys are focused to play a game of cricket. It’ll be for them a normal game of cricket as long as I can get them to think like that.”

Laura Harris mauls Somerset with 77 off 34

Australian smashes her second fifty of the competition to send Birmingham Bears joint top

Warwickshire 172 for 9 (Harris 77, Robbins 3-24) Somerset 103 (Wilson 31, Taylor 3-13) by Laura Harris continued her remarkable start at Edgbaston by clubbing Warwickshire to a 69-run Vitality Blast victory over Somerset.Harris followed her 16-ball half-century on her debut in Birmingham last week with an equally spectacular 77 from 34 balls to lift Warwickshire to 172 for 9. Her barrage completed the team’s strong recovery from 30 for 3 after Mollie Robbins (3 for 24) took three wickets in her first ten balls.Somerset replied with a meagre 103. Fran Wilson struck 31 but the innings was unravelled by spinners Georgia Davis (3 for 12) and Millie Taylor (3 for 13) The visitors’ third successive defeat came with an additional worry after Emma Corney was stretchered from the field after her leg twisted the wrong way as he stooped to collect a ball in the outfield.Somerset chose to bowl and started strongly as Robbins took wickets with her first, fifth and tenth balls. Her first struck Abi Freeborn on the back leg and won an lbw decision, Issy Wong then drove to mid off before and Davina Parrin was bowled through an attempted leg-side hit.Five quickfire boundaries from Natasha Wraith and Sterre Kalis sprung the score to 54 for 3 at the end of the Powerplay before Wraith’s middle stump was disturbed by Amanda-Jade Wellington’s second ball.Somerset had started well but were disrupted by the worrying delay while Corney was treated on the outfield. Upon the resumption, Charis Pavely lifted Alex Griffiths to long on, bringing in Harris who lifted her second ball into the South Stand for six.Kalis’s perky 32 ended in the cruellest way she was run out backing up, but Harris charged to her fifty in 19 balls. The Aussie went on to hit nine fours and four sixes to emphatically vindicate her move down the order to get at the spinners.A target of 173 was a tall one for a Somerset side short of runs in the tournament so far and their reply took an early hit when Rebecca Odgers fell lbw to Wong. AC Munday pulled Hannah Hardwick for six but was then lured down the pitch by Davis and stumped.The visitors entered the second half of their reply with only two wickets down but needing 11 per over and that scoreboard pressure took its toll against Warwickshire’s impressive spin attack. Sophie Luff skied a return catch to Hannah Baker, Wellington was bowled, reverse-sweeping, by Taylor and Davis dismissed Wilson and Griffiths, caught at mid off and backward point respectively.Chloe Taylor chipped to extra cover off Taylor who soon trapped Robbins lbw and when Hannah Jones lifted Wong to long on, with Corney unable to bat, Somerset’s tough day was complete.

Now worth 700% more: Arsenal have struck gold on Emery's "massive talent"

It would be fair to say that the last five years or so have been a roller coaster for Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta has taken a team that was teetering on the edge of mid-table mediocrity and transformed them into genuine contenders for the Premier League and Champions League.

However, while he did take over something of a sinking ship from Unai Emery, it would be unfair to lay the blame for everything that went wrong during his short tenure at his feet.

Moreover, there were a couple of things he did right, such as signing a player whose valuation has exploded in the years since.

Emery's best signings at Arsenal

While the majority of Emery’s signings at Arsenal were middling to poor, he did bring in a few quality players during his year and a half in the hot seat.

Undoubtedly, his best addition to the team was William Saliba, who cost the Gunners around £27m and put pen to paper in the summer of 2019.

Granted, the Frenchman didn’t actually play under the Aston Villa coach, and also seemed to be on the way out at one point, but he is now one of the most important players in Arteta’s squad.

The Bondy-born “monster,” as dubbed by content creator Connor Humm, has now made 142 appearances for the club and has just agreed to a new five-year deal that should hopefully keep Real Madrid away for a little while longer.

Another defender signed by Emery who ended up becoming something of a fan favourite at the Emirates was Kieran Tierney.

The Scotsman joined the summer of 2019, and while he’s not on the same level as Saliba and suffered from injury setback after injury setback, he was the epitome of a hardworking professional and something of an old-school defender.

He might not have gone on to become the captain that many thought he might, but he more than made his mark in North London and remains popular among the fans.

Finally, while David Luiz and Bernd Leno were never top-quality players during their time in N5, like Tierney, they could never be accused of not trying, and should probably be held in slightly higher regard than they are.

With all that said, there is another player Emery signed who’s still at the club today and whose valuation has exploded.

The Emery signing whose valuation has exploded

Since it’s not Saliba, it’ll come as no surprise that the Arsenal player in question is none other than Gabriel Martinelli.

Market Movers

Football FanCast’s Market Movers series explores the changing landscape of the modern transfer market. How much is your club’s star player or biggest flop worth today?

Emery was still in charge of the club when he was signed from Brazilian outfit Ituano in the summer of 2019 for a fee said to be around the £6m mark, and according to Transfermarkt, he is now worth up to €55m, which is around £48m.

In other words, the 24-year-old is now worth £42m more than when he joined the North Londoners, which is a staggering increase of around 700% – not a bad investment.

Now, there will undoubtedly be some who dispute such a valuation, or point to his lacklustre form over the last few years as a reason why he should be worth less.

However, it’s important to remember that while he’s no longer as important as he once was to Arteta, he can still do a job for a top team like the Gunners.

For example, so far this season, he has found the back of the net on three occasions, provided one assist in just nine games, and has become more useful in his new role as an impact substitution.

Moreover, while the “massive talent,” as dubbed by Rio Ferdinand, does have his drawbacks and can be frustrating at times, his underlying numbers are reasonably impressive.

Ultimately, Martinelli might never be the superstar attacker so many hoped he would be for Arsenal, but he is a useful squad player and more than justifies his current valuation.

São Paulo tem oito jogadores em fim de contrato; entenda a situação de cada um

MatériaMais Notícias

No domingo (24), o São Paulo fez história ao conquistar o título inédito da Copa do Brasil ao bater o Flamengo por 2 a 1, no placar agregado. Mas nesta segunda-feira (25), já começam as projeções para a próxima temporada, que terá a disputa da Libertadores. Entre as pendências para 2024 estão aqueles jogadores que estão em fim de contrato e podem não permanecer, como é caso de Lucas. A lista, porém, é maior e tem, ao todo, oito nomes.

Além de Lucas, têm contrato a vencer os seguintes jogadores: Alexandre Pato, Caio Paulista, David, Erison, Felipe Alves, Rafinha e Walce.

Mesmo que na lista estejam outros nomes importantes, quem mais tira o sono da torcida é Lucas Moura. O jogador fez um contrato de curto prazo com o Tricolor, somente até o final deste ano, ficando livre no mercado para buscar oportunidades em outros centros do futebol mundial. Embora ambas as partes saibam que é muito difícil a permanência para 2024, ninguém descarta um acordo.

O caso de Alexandre Pato é outra incógnita de um atleta que chegou recentemente com um contrato curto, mas não tem a continuidade garantida para a próxima temporada. Identificado com o clube, o desejo é permanecer, mas isso passará pela avaliação da comissão técnica.

+ Casares revela qual foi a melhor decisão do São Paulo para conquista inédita da Copa do Brasil

Três jogadores dessa lista estão emprestados por outros clubes até o fim de 2023. Casos de Caio Paulista, David e Erison. No entanto, aquele que mais preocupa é Caio, cedido pelo Fluminese. Titular e um dos destaques do ano, ficará somente se o São Paulo entrar em acordo para comprá-lo em definitivo. Já David (Internacional) e Erison (Botafogo) não tiveram grande temporada e dificilmente serão adquiridos ao final dos contratos.

O goleiro Felipe Alves também está emprestado, mas a situação é diferente dos demais. O empréstimo junto ao Fortaleza é até o fim do contrato do jogador com o clube cearense. Ou seja, ele não terá mais vínculo com o dono de seus direitos quando o vínculo terminar. No entanto, seu destino não será com a camisa são-paulino em 2024 e ele deve deixar o Morumbi em dezembro.

Rafinha, por sua vez, é aquele que tem a situação mais encaminhada para permanecer no São Paulo. A tendência é que ele renove por mais um período com seu clube do coração e encerre a carreira vestindo o manto tricolor. Ambas as partes desejam a continuidade.

Por fim, temos a situação de Walce, formado na base do Tricolor e considerado uma das grandes promessas de Cotia. Acontece que algumas cirurgias no joelho acabaram minando sua carreira e ele pouco conseguiu atuar pelo clube. Sua permanência para a próxima temporada é uma incógnita.

Em meio a esse planejamento para 2024, o São Paulo ainda disputa o Brasileirão, no qual está na 14ª posição com 28 pontos.

Arsenal and Man Utd lead clubs looking to sign "exciting" French defender

Arsenal and Manchester United are now among the leading clubs looking to sign an “exciting” French defender, who is also capable of playing in midfield.

Gunners looking to bolster defensive options

The Gunners appear to be in a strong position to finally end their long wait for a title, currently sitting top of the Premier League table, and much of their success can be put down to their extremely impressive defensive record in the early stages of the campaign.

Mikel Arteta’s side have conceded just three goals in their opening seven games, which is the fewest of any side in the top flight, with William Saliba and Gabriel continuing their solid partnership at the heart of the defence.

The north Londoners also bolstered their options at the back during the summer transfer window, signing Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia, and the 21-year-old has featured fairly regularly so far this season, featuring eight times across all competitions.

Given that Arteta is already well-stocked in defence, it may be surprising to learn that Arsenal have now set their sights on another centre-back, who is attracting interest from some of Europe’s top clubs.

That is according to a report from Caught Offside, which reveals the Gunners are now among the leading clubs tracking FC Nantes defender Tylel Tati, alongside Premier League rivals Manchester United, with both clubs sending scouts to watch him in action.

There could be serious competition for Tati’s signature, however, with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Aston Villa also being named as potential suitors, while Barcelona, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen headline the interest from abroad.

The Gunners are big admirers.

ByEmilio Galantini Oct 11, 2025

The widespread interest in the 17-year-old may stem from his ability to play in multiple positions, with the report stating he is capable of playing at left-back, while also possessing the ability to play in defensive midfield.

"Exciting" Tati could be fantastic long-term addition for Arsenal

Scout Jacek Kulig has named the youngster among the most “exciting” French U21 centre-backs, and it is clear to see why, given that he has already managed to establish himself as a first-team regular for Nantes.

The starlet has made six Ligue 1 appearances so far this season, which is an impressive feat, given that he only turned 17 earlier this year, highlighting that the Nantes ace could be ready to make the step-up to the Premier League before too long.

Arguably the Frenchman’s toughest test to date came on his debut against Paris Saint-Germain, but manager Luis Castro singled him out for praise after the match, despite Nantes suffering a 1-0 defeat, saying: “He played a very good match, he is calm, focused, and at 17, that’s not bad,”

With the likes of Saliba, Gabriel, Mosquera and Piero Hincapie on the books, there is no pressing need to bring in a new centre-back, but Tati could be a fantastic addition on a long-term basis, and his versatility is an added bonus.

Sri Lanka might be facing an 11-month Test hiatus after the second match against Bangladesh, but that won’t stop Dhananjaya de Silva from putting his mark on this team. This is the first World Test Championship (WTC) cycle for which Dhananjaya has the reins from the outset, and he’s doubling down on some of his strategies.Through the last two years, he’s been insistent that Sri Lanka have to blood seamers at home, so they are prepared for overseas assignments. In the second Test, they may even play three seamers.Related

Milan ruled out of second Test

“We’ve got 12 in the squad, and we’ve got options, because our weather is changing from time to time as well,” he said on the eve of the Test. “We were hoping to go with three seamers, but it’s hard to tell exactly – the pitch also looks flat.”Part of Sri Lanka’s thinking seems to be that Bangladesh are more likely to lose wickets to their seam bowlers than spinners. In the last series these two teams played, for example, their top three seamers (Lahiru Kumara, Vishwa Fernando, and Kasun Rajitha) took 29 wickets between them, placing first, second and third on the series wicket-takers’ list.For this match, Asitha Fernando is almost certain to play, while Rajitha and Vishwa may also enter the XI. Isitha Wijesundara, an uncapped right-armer, is in the squad as well.”Not just in the last series in Bangladesh, even in the previous one it was pace that got a lot of wickets,” Dhananjaya said. “We talked a lot about how the seamers got about 70% of their wickets. But it’s not easy to play seamers on these pitches, but we’re trying to play three. Let’s see what the pitch is like tomorrow morning.”Dhananjaya de Silva averages 43.95 from No. 6 but 20.33 from No. 4•AFP/Getty Images

There is also the question of who will play in place of the retired Angelo Mathews at the newly-vacant No. 4 position. Dhananjaya himself will leap up the order to second drop. Though he’s clearly been effective at No. 6, averaging 43.95 in that position, a move up the order is something of a risk. In six innings at No. 4, Dhananjaya averages 20.33 so far.”If you think I’m good enough, I’m ready to bat at four,” Dhananjaya joked when asked who’d fill the gap. “I’m set to bat there.” He had also batted at No. 3 between 2017 and 2018 with mixed results. He played an impressive match-saving, second-innings hundred against India from that position, but over 18 innings there, he averaged 32.88 with two hundreds and two fifties.He’s been an improved batter in the last several years, however. Since 2020, Dhananjaya has averaged 43.85, compared with a pre-2020 average of 34.47. Which leaves the question of who replaces him at No. 6?Another of Dhananjaya’s hallmarks has been to blood young players, with both Lahiru Udara and Tharindu Ratnayake having made their debuts in the first Test. In this game, Sonal Dinusha, the left-arm spin allrounder with 99 first-class wickets and seven first-class tons, seems set to play his first match.”With the wicket the way it is and if we need a spinner, I think Sonal is the best option,” Dhananjaya said. “For now there’s a big chance he will play.”

زامورانو: لامين يامال لا يناسب ريال مدريد.. وزميله ببرشلونة يمتلك جوهر الملكي

تحدث إيفان زامورانو، لاعب ريال مدريد السابق عن لامين يامال، نجم الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، مؤكدًا أنه غير مناسب للعب مع الفريق الملكي.

كان إيفان زامورانو البالغ من العمر 58 عامًا، لاعبًا لكرة القدم في إسبانيا مع إشبيلية ثم بعد ذلك انتقل إلى ريال مدريد أكثر من أربعة مواسم.

وانتقد زامورانو تصريحات لامين يامال، قبل لقاء الكلاسيكو أمام والذي فاز به ريال مدريد، التي وصف فيها النادي بأنه “يسرق” (للمزيد من التفاصيل اضغط هنا).

وقال زامورانو، في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو”: “تعاقد ريال مدريد مع لامين؟ لن أوقع مع لامين برغم من أنه نجم لكنه لا يجسد جوهر وثقافة لاعب ريال مدريد”.

وأضاف: “سأوقع مع بيدري، إنه لاعب استثنائي ويفعل ذلك دون أن ينطق بكلمة، إنه متواضع لا يتحدث إلا عند الضرورة وهذا هو جوهر ريال مدريد”.

وأردف: “لامين يامال لا يمتلك روح ولا جوهر ريال مدريد، إنه بخير في برشلونة وليس ريال مدريد، إنها قصة مختلفة نادي مختلف تمامًا، ريال مدريد فريق من الطراز الرفيع والثقافة، يجب أن يجسد اللاعبون ذلك”.

واستطرد: “لم أسمع ميسي يقول إننا نسرق وكان الأفضل في العالم، أن يتم مدح شاب في السابعة عشرة من عمره بهذا القدر على ما يقوله شيء غريب، أعتقد أن ما يجب فعله هو إثبات ذلك في الملعب والباقي سيأتي لاحقًا”.

وأتم: “برشلونة يحتاج إلى توجيه لامين يامال وبهذه الطريقة سيكون لاعبًا رائعًا، اللاعبون الذين يتركون إرثًا هم من نوع مختلف”.
