  • Mental Strength Triumphs in Nail- Biting Finals Heroes: Ben Stokes (Left) and Novak Djokovic (Right) Triumphed in Tense Matches on Sunday
    Mental strength triumphs in nail- biting finals Heroes: Ben Stokes (left) and Novak Djokovic (right) triumphed in tense matches on Sunday. Are mental powers in sport more exciting than physical skills? Cricketer Ben Stokes and Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic performed under crushing pressure to seize victories on Sunday. Sunday 14 July, 7pm. At Lord’s Cricket Ground in north London, the Cricket World Cup final is — unbelievably — tied. England and New Zealand must battle it out in the first-eversuper over in the sport’s history. England batsman Ben Stokes has pulled his team back from the brink of defeat. He is exhausted, physically and emotionally, but the expectations of a nation rest on his shoulders. The pressure is on. He has just six balls to score enough runs to secure England’s first- ever cricket World Cup title. Meanwhile, on the other side of London, at Wimbledon’s Centre Court, the longest men’s tennis final in the history of the tournament goes to a fifth set tie-break. At last, Novak Djokovic has three championship points to close out this epic battle. But the crowd is cheering the name of his opponent, Roger Federer. Both men prevail under immense psychological pressure. Later, Djokovic admits the match was the most “mentally demanding” of his career. “For me, at least, it’s a constant battle within, more than what happens outside,” he said. The Serbian player is known to practise meditation and yoga to reach a state of calm. These mental tricks helped him play his best tennis for almost five hours, despite the majority of the 15,000 crowd backing Federer.

The 16 teams have announced their squads, and warm-up games will provide a chance for teams to trial different line-ups. On Friday, South Africa and England will face each other in the first of two Twenty20 International fixtures. So who should the selectors pick? A new study published in the Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation has provided an optimal team ordering algorithm consisting of three components: team selection, batting order and overs bowled. The research shows that an optimal Twenty20 line-up sometimes calls for non-traditional roles from players.
