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.

  • Indian Premier League 2019
    VVS LAXMAN Published 3.4.19 The last ten days have reiterated just how significant a place the Indian Premier League has carved for itself on the cricke�ng landscape. Spectacular ac�on and stunning performances have brought the tournament to life right from the beginning, and I expect the next six weeks to be no less gripping. From our point of view, I am delighted at how well Hyderabad have bounced back from defeat in our opening match, against Kolkata. Even in that game, we were in control �ll the end of the 17th over of the chase, but Andre Russell took it away from us with brilliant ball-striking. Even though I was in the opposi�on dugout, I couldn’t help but marvel at how he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The beauty of our franchise is that the shoulders never droop, the heads never drop. There is too much experience, quality and class among the playing group for that to happen. As members of the support staff, our endeavour is to keep the players in a good mental space. But eventually, it is the players who have to deliver on the park, and that’s what they have done in the last two games. David Warner has been outstanding. There is li�le sign that he has been out of interna�onal cricket for a year. His work ethics are exemplary, and I can see the hunger and desire in his eyes. He is striking the ball as beau�fully as ever, and there is a calmness about him that is infec�ous.
