Women’s T20 World Cup 2026: ‘मैं चाहती तो उसे ओपनिंग के लिए भेज देती’…

Harmanpreet Kaur on Richa Ghosh: आईसीसी वूमेंस टी20 वर्ल्डकप 2026 (ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026) में टीम इंडिया ने शानदार आगाज किया है। पहले मुकाबले में चिर प्रतिद्वंद्वी पाकिस्तान को 68 रन से हराकर दो अंक हासिल कर लिए। हालांकि, इसके बावजूद भारतीय टीम नेट रन रेट के मामले में ऑस्ट्रेलिया से पीछे रह गई और दूसरे स्थान पर है। वहीं पाकिस्तान की टीम पांचवें और साउथ अफ्रीका छठे स्थान पर है। ग्रुप में बांग्लादेश तीसरे और नीदरलैंड्स की टीम चौथे स्थान पर है। sweetbonan.org

Ever since Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been called up in India’s senior T20 international side, the teenage sensation has struggled to score big. Representing India ‘A’ after a sizzling IPL 2026, the southpaw has been aggressive but is yet to muster runs like we saw him do just a few of weeks ago.

The platform was set for Sooryavanshi to go big today when India ‘A’ faced Sri Lanka ‘A’ for the second time in the ongoing 50-over tri-series. He started well, smashing anything full or short. Sooryavanshi, after India A were put to bat first, gave a little area to err to Sri Lankan bowlers as he smashed 20 runs in first 11 balls. As if it is again a T20 match happening.

Sooryavanshi fails for India A

Sahan Arachchige need the feel to bring in himself, an off-spinner after India A made 23 runs in the first three overs. Sooryavanshi welcomed him with a boundary through square. However, on the fourth ball, Sooryavanshi perished.

The SL A captain dropped it full and gave the ball some air. The Dambulla pitch turned for the first time and the universe baby boss got beaten by the turn. He went for a hoick but skied it. Wanuja Sahan took a safe catch at point, and Sooryavanshi was dismissed after a quick 14-ball 21.

In three outings in the tri-series, the 15-year-old has scored 14,44 and 21. In total, he has 79 runs at an average of 26.33. His strike rate of 166, however, is again superb.

Harmanpreet Kaur on Deepti Sharma: आईसीसी वूमेंस टी20 वर्ल्डकप 2026 (ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026) के अपने पहले मुकाबले में भारतीय टीम ने पाकिस्तान को हराकर शानदार जीत हासिल की। पहले बल्लेबाजी करते हुए टीम इंडिया ने 20 ओवर में 6 विकेट गंवाकर 170 रन बनाए। जवाब में पाकिस्तान की टीम 17 ओवर में ही 106 रन पर ढेर हो गई। दीप्ति शर्मा (Deepti Sharma) ने शानदार गेंदबाजी की और सिर्फ चार ओवर में 10 रन देकर 5 विकेट चटका दिए, जिसकी वजह से उन्हें प्लेयर ऑफ द मैच भी चुना गया।

Sweden vs Tunisia FIFA World Cup 2026: It was a record-breaking night for Sweden in the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Group F opener vs Tunisia at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey on Sunday. Sweden hammered hapless Tunisia 5-1 to make an early statement but ‘super sub’ Mattias Svanberg broke a 60-year-old record in the World Cup with his brilliant strike.

Svanberg’s goal 18 seconds after entering the match for Sweden is the second fastest by a substitute in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966, behind only Richard Morales who found the mark in 16 seconds for Uruguay vs Senegal in 2002 edition.

Para la estadística, 17 segundos llevaba Mattias Svanberg en el campo de juego, no había tocado el balón, literalmente la primera que tocó y fue gol, aunque fue anulado, el VAR intervino y validó el gol por segunda jugada. pic.twitter.com/J8JwB2DfH3

Yasin Ayari, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres were the other stars of Sweden’s massive opening win over Tunisia. In fact, Ayari’s father Azzouz is a Tunisian by berth but he encouraged his son to represent Sweden in football. Ayari initially wanted to play for Tunisia when they asked him to switch allegiance in 2021, but his father insisted on Sweden because the country ‘welcomed and developed him’.

Ayari broke the deadlock with a brilliant drive from outside the box. Isak doubled the lead following a beautiful turn and pass from strike partner Gyokeres before Tunisia got themselves back into the game before half-time when Omar Rekik found the mark off Hannibal Mejbri’s sensational pass for his first international goal.

Sweden struck back with vengeance in the second half. Isak too the ball off Ellyes Skhiri and Gyokeres struck home to make it 3-1. Svanberg amplified the advantage moments after coming on, and Ayari sealed a morale-boosting success.

It ended one of the highest-scoring matchdays in World Cup history with 19 goals on Monday after Germany scored seven earlier in the day against Curacao.

Ivory Coast strike in injury time to take points off Ecuador

Amad Diallo’s dramatic stoppage-time winner helps Ivory Coast snatch a sensational win over Ecuador in their Group E match of FIFA World Cup 2026 at Lincoln Financial Stadium in Philadelphia on Monday. Ivory Coast ended Ecuador’s 19-game unbeaten run in international football and provides them a massive boost ahead of their clash against powerhouses Germany, who hammered Curacao 7-1 earlier on Sunday.

“We came here with ambitions and high hopes. Everything is going well,” coach Emerse Faé said through an interpreter after the match, according to AP news agency.

“This was a fantastic goal. Singo) delivered a wonderful assist to Diallo, and he finished well. Very happy to see just what we worked on,” Fae added.

Ivory Coast and Ecuador hit the crossbar three times over the course of the game before Diallo struck for the African nation. The Manchester United winger entered as a substitute in the 56th minute of the game managed to break through with a left-footed shot from just inside the penalty area that beat Ecuador’s goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez. Wilfried Singo set up the goal with his strong run down the right side in the dying minutes of the game.

Ecuador’s last loss came in September 2024 when they were beaten 1-0 by Brazil. “It hurts. This is a very painful situation. It needs to make you stronger for the future,” Ecuador coach Sebastián Beccacece said after the game.
