WA had been 6 for 89 before the lower order hauled them to a total which proved just enough

AAP11-Mar-2022Australian pace bowler Jhye Richardson played a crucial role with the bat but suffered a hamstring injury when bowling as Western Australia beat New South Wales in the one-day final.Star WA batter Shaun Marsh (knee sprain) was also injured in Friday’s match at Melbourne’s Junction Oval as they triumphed by 18 runs, collecting their 15th domestic one-day title.In a see-sawing game highlighted by Hilton Cartwright’s astonishing and crucial outfield catch, WA made 9 for 225 from their 50 overs before NSW were dismissed for 207 in 46.3 overs.Richardson top-scored with 44, leading WA’s rearguard fightback after they had slumped to 6 for 89. An over after bowling Baxter Holt for a duck, Richardson pulled up awkwardly in his delivery stride and had to leave the field injured with NSW on 6 for 117.Richardson took five wickets in the second Ashes Test win at Adelaide Oval, but then went out of the side because of soreness and was left out of the Pakistan tour squad.No. 3 Moises Henriques had paced the NSW innings with 43 from 75 balls when he belted spinner D’Arcy Short to long-on. Cartwright was horizontal when he took an all-time classic diving catch, leaving NSW 8 for 204.

It proved the match-winning moment – Henriques and Ben Dwarshuis, who was unbeaten on 31, had put on 36 for the eighth wicket and NSW appeared to be heading to a win. Adam Zampa and Tanveer Sangha were then dismissed for ducks to end the match.WA quick Andrew Tye, who was on a hat-trick, took 4 for 30 and was named player of the match, while Aaron Hardie snared 3 for 41.Matthew Kelly and Jason Behrendorff put on 52, a WA record for the 10th wicket in one-dayers, and that proved the difference. Kelly made 27 not out and Behrendorff hit two sixes off Hayden Kerr in the last over of the innings for his unbeaten 24.While WA’s score was well short of par on a wicket that did not appear to be playing too many tricks, it proved enough to thwart NSW.Marsh gave WA an injury scare at 2 for 70 when he turned back quickly after attempting a quick single. He had a sharp pain in his left leg and dropped to the ground in pain. Marsh needed medical attention for several minutes before resuming his innings.But two runs later, Adam Zampa bowled him for 29, ending his 61-run stand with Cameron Bancroft. Zampa bowled captain Ashton Turner with his next delivery for a duck and Cartwright survived the hat-trick ball.Matthew Gilkes dropped a sitter off Kelly when he had only made 2. Gilkes then caught Richardson in the deep to give Daniel Sams his third wicket and it was given out, despite the fielder appearing to touch the boundary rope with his foot.

Not looking to miss out on a rising star, the 49ers Enterprises have now reportedly sent Leeds United officials to join the race in pursuit of a rising star in Scottish football, who has attracted plenty of interest as of late.

Leeds transfer news

Leeds know all about trying to keep hold of a future star, of course, having failed to prevent Archie Gray’s exit to Tottenham Hotspur in a summer full of exits a few months ago. Now, they’ll want to flip the script and land a young sensation of their own in the transfer market.

Those at Elland Road are in a strong position to convince reinforcements too, given that they now sit top of the Championship in the early race for title glory and subsequent promotion.

When the January transfer window arrives, the Yorkshire club have the opportunity to welcome the additions that could all but seal promotion to the Premier League, before then turning their attention towards future stars for Daniel Farke’s side.

According to Graeme Bailey for The Boot Room, the 49ers have now sent Leeds officials to join the race for Lennon Miller, who has been priced at a minimum £5m by Motherwell as they look to at least benefit from the Scottish sensation’s potential exit.

Those at Elland Road aren’t the only ones interested, however. In fact, a whole host of English clubs are reportedly chasing Miller’s signature, including Manchester United, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Championship rivals Sunderland. With that said, it could be an impressive coup if Leeds managed to welcome the 18-year-old midfielder.

A player who may make up for Gray’s exit, Leeds should go all out to sign Miller if they’re given the opportunity when 2025 arrives.

"Exciting" Miller could make up for Gray's departure

Injuries to midfielders Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev caused quite the headache for Farke, although Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell have been brilliant in their absence. A situation which highlighted Leeds’ lack of depth in the middle of the park at the time, Miller’s arrival wouldn’t just be one for the future.

The teenager has starred in Motherwell’s senior side this season, reaching four goals and four assists to prove that he no longer belongs in academy football. Now, he looks destined for his biggest move yet.

As a result of his continued rise over the last year or so, Miller has attracted plenty of interest and praise, with most of that coming from Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell, who told reporters as relayed by The Herald earlier this year: “I just think he is a really exciting talent. If he was playing at one of the other clubs I would be waxing lyrical about him as well because I do get excited when you see really good footballers in Scotland.

“It’s brilliant for us all to market and sell the product and the brand in this country. I am absolutely delighted that I feel we have got one of the top guys at his age and somebody that I believe can go on and have a real, real good future in the game.”

Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo wants to do what “no Bangladesh team has done” in South Africa: score a first ODI series win.”We have definitely come here as underdogs, having not won a game here before,” Domingo, who is in South Africa with Bangladesh for the first time since taking up the top job in 2019, said. “But we are confident in our one-day side. We have played well in this format for a long period of time. Players understand their roles. We are expecting a competitive series.Related

“But South Africa, who beat India 3-0 recently, will definitely start as favourites. They are playing in their own conditions where they are a tough side to beat. They will start as favourites, but that suits us coming as underdogs. It gives us a great opportunity to do something special. We want to do something that no Bangladesh team has done here before.”Having served as South Africa’s head coach from 2013 to 17, Domingo is well-placed to analyse the two teams and the conditions in South Africa. He felt that the three-match series would be closely fought between South Africa, who are superior on paper, and the current World Cup Super League table-toppers, Bangladesh, who have ten wins from 15 matches.”Both [top-order batters and pacers] have crucial roles to play,” he said. “We know their bowling attack is dangerous. We have to do well in the first 20 overs. If our fast bowlers can pick up early wickets, it will put them under pressure.”Domingo said that with Shakib Al Hasan present in South Africa, Bangladesh might be able to turn their fortunes around, having lost all 19 ODIs they have played in the country in the past.Shakib was initially rested by the BCB when he had said he wasn’t mentally and physically fit to play. But the allrounder had a change of heart later and has since joined his team-mates.”[Shakib] balances our team. It is always difficult when he is not in the team – you are not sure if you need an extra bowler or extra batsman,” Domingo said. “It is great to have a player of his calibre around. He is experienced. He has been here before. He is a world-class player. We are very happy that he is on the tour. His energy, attitude and work ethic has been fantastic.”Before he left Dhaka, Domingo had expressed concern over the team’s catching. In the recent series against Afghanistan, Bangladesh had dropped several chances and there are still question marks over the team’s ability to adjust to conditions in Centurion and Johannesburg, where the three ODIs are scheduled to take place.”It will be no more difficult than anywhere else,” he said. “Whether you are fielding here, in New Zealand or Bangladesh, a ball is a ball. You have to catch it. Obviously, there’s a bit of altitude here. The ball travels a bit quicker. There’s no major difference between catching here and catching in Bangladesh.”

  WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?

  Ruben Amorim's side will be back in action next month as they take on Nottingham Forest in a difficult Premier League away fixture on April 1.

Ipswich Town fans knew the Premier League was going to be tough this season, but they might not have realised just how tough it was going to be.

Despite impressive results against Aston Villa, Manchester United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur, Kieran McKenna’s side find themselves down in 18th place and four points off safety.

The last month or so has been particularly brutal for the Tractor Boys, but they have the perfect opportunity to bounce back with a relegation six-pointer against Wolverhampton Wanderers later today.

Moreover, while the Suffolk side will have to turn around their recent form, they’re blessed with an exciting star who’d walk into the Wolves team, a start McKenna has to start.

Ipswich's recent form

Things were starting to look up for Ipswich either side of the most recent international break, as they picked up their first win at the expense of Spurs just before and then earned an impressive point at home against United in the first game back.

However, in the three games since then, things have not quite worked out for McKenna’s side.

For example, they lost 1-0 away to Nottingham Forest courtesy of a Chris Wood penalty given away by Sammie Szmodics.

They followed that up with a dreary 1-0 defeat at home to fellow relegation candidates Crystal Palace a few days later.

Worst of all, it looked like the team had turned a corner last weekend and that the Portman Road crowd were going to see their first win of the season when they were leading Bournemouth 1-0 for the vast majority of the game, only for the Cherries to score in the 87th and 95th minute to leave the home side stunned.

In short, the team desperately needs a positive result this afternoon, and to ensure they have the best chance of getting it, McKenna must start a player who’d waltz into this Wolves side.

The Ipswich ace who'd walk into the Wolves team

So, it should probably come as no surprise that the player we are talking about is, of course, Liam Delap.

The “incredible” young forward, as former manager Pep Guardiola dubbed him, has been brilliant for Ipswich this season, scoring six goals and providing one assist in 15 league appearances while also being a focal point for the rest of his team to play around.

Now, you could argue that Wolves’ starting striker Jørgen Strand Larsen might have something to say about this, as he has a slightly better haul of six goals and two assists in as many appearances, even if he has played more minutes.

However, while the Norwegian is certainly an exciting player to watch and someone capable of forging a career in the top flight, he is not on the same level as the Winchester-born dynamo, and we can see that by looking at their underlying numbers.

For example, in the vast majority of relevant metrics, it’s the Tractor Boys’ marksman who comes out ahead, metrics including but not limited to non-penalty expected goals plus assists, actual non-penalty goals, progressive passes and carries, successful take-ons, shots and shot-creating actions, all per 90.

Ultimately, while Delap has not necessarily been at his very best in the last few weeks, his quality and ability are undeniable.

Therefore, if McKenna wants to give Ipswich the best chance of stopping their current slide and picking up their second win, he has to start the Englishman.

Super Kings lose their fourth match in a row and already face a monumental task ahead to make the playoffs

Sidharth Monga09-Apr-2022Sunrisers Hyderabad finally got on the board by chasing down 155 without any big contribution from their international stars, in the process consigning Chennai Super Kings to their fourth defeat in four games. It left the defending champions needing roughly eight wins from 10 matches to be hopeful of qualifying for the playoffs.This win, with 15 balls to spare, was a significant one for Sunrisers because they hold a dodgy reputation as chasers. This was only their eighth win out of 22 matches chasing between 150 and 175, as against 157 out of 301 overall in the IPL. Abhishek Sharma, under pressure as opener, led the chase with 75 off 50, his first IPL fifty, and Rahul Tripathi supported him with 39 off 15. The international star, Kane Williamson, managed just 32 off 40.Even though they don’t have Rashid Khan anymore, Sunrisers’ bowling remained reliable with Washington Sundar and T Natarajan stifling the batters and taking two wickets each. Marco Jansen proved to be a welcome addition, using his height and cutters to concede just 30 in his four and take MS Dhoni’s wicket at the death.Washington, Natarajan take out the openers
Super Kings made their usual start: Ruturaj Gaikwad looking to set himself up for the long innings and Robin Uthappa looking to use the powerplay. However, a slow pitch kept defeating Uthappa’s timing before he finally ended up holing out to long-on the first ball he faced from Washington at the start of the fourth over. Introduced in the sixth over, Natarajan bowled the perfect full late swinging delivery first up to go through Gaikwad, making it 36 for 2.Rayudu, Moeen get stuck
Moeen Ali, usually full of intent, looked to give himself some time, but the struggles of Super Kings were epitomised by Ambati Rayudu. He kept trying to hit out but struggled to get any kind of timing on the slow pitch. Eventually Rayudu mis-hit Washington to wide long-on for a run-a-ball 27. Sunrisers made it difficult by using their variety of bowlers in these overs, not letting the batters get used to any one.With three left-hand batters lined up next, Williamson used the opportunity to bowl one over of part-time offspin from Aiden Markram, giving him the cushion for Umran Malik, who had gone for 29 in three overs. While Moeen managed to hit one six off Markram, the second such attempt ended up at long-on. A ramp off a slower short ball from Natarajan did in for Shivam Dube.Bhuvneshwar Kumar created pressure with two dots to Dhoni in the 17th over, and Jansen cashed in with a short ball next over, making it 122 for 6 with 15 balls to go.Strong finish from Super Kings
At the end, when all bets are off, Ravindra Jadeja punished Natarajan for missing his yorker by mere inches twice, and Bhuvneshwar conceded wides in the last over in an attempt to stay away from the reach of the batters. Twenty-nine came off the last two overs to give Super Kings some hope.Ruturaj Gaikwad’s reaction sums up Chennai Super Kings’ season so far•BCCIAbhishek announces himself
The match began with a question mark over Abhishek’s position at the top of the order as Tripathi is known for his explosive starts, which can give Williamson just the platform he needs to set himself up for the long innings. Sunrisers, though, made it clear they were backing their pre-season choice. Abhishek ended up carrying Williamson, who struggled much like the Super Kings batters.It was only in the last over of the powerplay that Abhishek really opened up. He lofted Maheesh Theekshana’s full offbreak over extra cover for a four followed by slogging the carrom ball over deep midwicket for a six. Still, at 37 for 0, it looked like Sunrisers were setting themselves up for a close finish as the asking rate was nudging 8.5 on a difficult pitch.Even as Williamson looked to work his way into some sort of touch with ones and twos, Abhishek kept finding the boundary. When Williamson got out at the start of the 13th over, Sunrisers still needed 66 off 47.Tripathi takes charge
If Abhishek’s strike rate of 150 and above made it look like he was batting on a different pitch to Williamson, Tripathi was in another dimension altogether. The second ball he faced he pulled for six, the fourth whipped over midwicket for four, and the seventh driven over cover. All of a sudden Sunrisers needed just a run a ball, but Tripathi made sure there was a net-run-rate bonus for them as he got stuck into Chris Jordan and Dwayne Bravo.
