  • Spirited Bangladesh Win Hearts Despite Loss to Oz
    12 Friday, June 21, 2019 Sports Defending champions Qatar make it to Asian beach handball semi-finals Qatar, the defending champions, continued their impressive run in the Asian Men’s Beach Handball Championship with a fine 2-0 victory over challengers Vietnam in Weihai, China on Thursday. The fifth victory in a row placed four-time winners Qatar, looking for the fifth straight title, on the top of Pool A after the match between two unbeaten sides. In Pool B, four-time runners-up and 2004 champions Oman booked a slot in the semi-finals as they defeated group leaders Iran 2-1. The victory for Oman was quite crucial after losing to Thailand in the group stage. Thailand beat Saudi Arabia 2-1, which meant three teams - Iran, Oman and Thailand - had the same eight points each with four-one win-loss record. But due to better goal difference, Oman and Iran advanced to the last four stage, while the former went to the head of the pool. In the semi-finals, Qatar will take on Iran, while Oman face Vietnam. CUP TALK Spirited Bangladesh win Sri Lanka hope for middle order to click in key game against England LEEDS: Sri Lanka are relying on their middle order to start firing in their World Cup fixture against England on Friday to stay in hearts despite loss to Oz the hunt for a semi-final berth, captain Dimuth Karunaratne said on Thursday.
