تحدثت صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية عن مباراة الأحد المرتقبة بين مانشستر سيتي وليفربول، في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، وخاصة عن المصري محمد صلاح.

ويستضيف ملعب “الاتحاد” قمة منافسات الجولة الحادية عشر من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي، موسم 2025/26، وذلك بين مانشستر سيتي وليفربول.

وقالت صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية في تقرير لها: “إذا كان ليفربول يتطلع إلى هزيمة مانشستر سيتي بقيادة بيب جوارديولا مجددًا ذلك الأسبوع، فإن أخطر سلاح في ترسانة الريدز معروف جيدًا بالفعل، ولم يجد مانشستر سيتي طريقة لإيقافه حتى الآن”.

وأضافت: “هذا السلاح اسمه محمد صلاح، حيث تألق النجم المصري في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز منذ وصوله إلى أنفيلد عام 2017، لكن لم يعاني أي خصم أكثر من مانشستر سيتي من سرعته ورباطة جأشه وقدرته على إنهاء الهجمات، والأرقام تثبت ذلك”.

وواصلت: “لقد تحولت مواجهات محمد صلاح ضد مانشستر سيتي إلى كابوس لا يستيقظون منه، يتضمن ذلك 15 مساهمة من جانبه في الأهداف (9 أهداف، 6 تمريرات حاسمة) – من آخر 20 هدفًا لـ ليفربول ضد مانشستر سيتي في الدوري الإنجليزي، وهو أكثر لاعب مساهمة ضدهم في تاريخ الدوري”.

وأردفت: “ويُعد مانشستر سيتي ثاني أكثر فريق ساهم ضده محمد صلاح بشكل عام، برصيد 21 هدفًا، ويسبقه مانشستر يونايتد 22 هدفًا، وفي كل مرة يواجه فيه ليفربول خصمه مانشستر سيتي، يظهر محمد صلاح، وفي كل مرة يحاول فيها ملعب الاتحاد إسكاته، يمسك المصري بمكبر صوت”.

واستكملت: “بهدفه في مرمى أستون فيلا، عادل صلاح رقم واين روني، فيما يتعلق أكثر اللاعبين مساهمة مع فريق واحد في تاريخ الدوري الإنجليزي، هو لا يسجل فقط، بل يصنع الفرص بنفس القدر من الانتظام، وضد مانشستر سيتي عادةً ما تُغير هذه اللحظات مجرى المباريات”.

وترى صحيفة “ماركا” أن مباراة ليفربول ومانشستر سيتي قد تكون نقطة تحول رئيسية في سباق لقب الدوري الإنجليزي، كما إنه يمثل اللقاء رقم 199 على مر العصور بين الناديين، حيث حقق الريدز فوزًا في 95 مباراة، مقابل 52 انتصارًا للخصم.

وذكرت أن التاريخ يميل إلى ليفربول، حيث يسعى الفريق الأحمر إلى تحقيق فوزين متتالين خارج أرضه على مانشستر سيتي لأول مرة منذ 1991، مؤكدة أن محمد صلاح هو من سيتولى زمام الأمور في صدام الغد.

واسترسلت: “على الجانب الآخر، يواصل إيرلينج هالاند تألقه التهديفي، حيث سجل 98 هدفًا في 107 مباراة في الدوري الإنجليزي، ويمتلك فرصة ليصبح أسرع من يصل إلى 100 هدف في تاريخ الدوري”.

وعادت من جديد للحديث عن محمد صلاح، حيث قالت: “هو من يتألق، لطالما كان شوكة في عبقرية جوارديولا التكتيكية منذ وصوله، وبالنظر إلى دفاع مانشستر سيتي الذي أظهر بالفعل بعض الثغرات في بداية هذا الموسم، فهو بالضبط نوع المشاكل التي لا يريدون أن يواجهوها”.

واختتمت: “لقد سيطر جيل جوارديولا على كل ما واجهه في كرة القدم الإنجليزية تقريبًا، باستثناء محمد صلاح، المهاجم الأكثر شراسة في تاريخ الدوري، ليفربول لا يحتاجه يوم الأحد فحسب، بل يحتاجه في حالة إطلاق عنانه، إذا حدث ذلك، سيصبح أسوأ كوابيس مانشستر سيتي حقيقة مرة أخرى”.

When it comes to the best player to have represented West Ham United in the modern era, you really are spoilt for choice.

However, if you then limit that to those who are homegrown and have come up through the academy, it’s hard to ignore one man: Declan Rice.

The England international might have broken some hearts with his move to Arsenal, but it’s impossible to deny the fact that he was a superstar for the Hammers, making 245 appearances, wearing the captain’s armband and most crucially of all, playing a significant role in the club’s Conference League triumph.

The Irons are yet to produce another prospect quite as talented as Rice, and while it will come eventually, they’ve already lost a youngster who’s being touted for big, big things.

West Ham's exciting prospects

While it feels like they are unlikely to be as impactful as Rice was, or the youngster they lost a couple of years ago, West Ham still have several exciting prospects emerging from the academy.

Where Are They Now

Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast’s Where Are They Now series.

For example, with how poorly the club’s current crop of strikers are doing, it might not be too long before the London Stadium faithful get to see Josh Landers in action.

The Scottish forward joined the Hammers from Hibernian in February of this year and has been on fire ever since.

In just 12 games for the U18s he has scored nine goals, and since moving up to the U21s, the Innerleithen-born poacher has found the back of the net five times.

Another dangerous gem, but one who spends time at left-back or on the left-hand side of midfield is Emeka Adiele.

The 18-year-old, who, according to one analyst, is blessed with “confidence & tenacity,” has already provided seven goal involvements in just eight appearances for the U21s this season.

Finally, someone who could potentially come is a long-term heir to Bowen on the right, Elisha Sowumni.

The 18-year-old was a force of nature for the youth sides last season, scoring 14 goals and providing two assists in just 25 appearances.

Moreover, while he is considered a right-winger, he has shown an impressive ability to play all over the pitch, which could help him earn some first-team minutes in the coming years.

However, while these three are certainly exciting prospects, they all pale in comparison to someone who left West Ham a couple of years ago.

The incredible prospect West Ham lost for nothing

All teams lose promising prospects; it’s just the way football goes sometimes, but Divine Mukasa does not appear to be any ordinary prospect.

The hugely exciting youngster joined West Ham at just five years old, but in September 2013, he moved to Manchester City for free.

He made his senior debut for Pep Guardiola’s side this season, in a League Cup game against Huddersfield Town, a game in which the teenager registered his first senior goal involvement, an assist for Phil Foden.

However, while it’s certainly an encouraging sign regarding his development to see him already playing in the first team, it’s his unreal form in the junior sides that has turned so many heads, and why he might’ve been the Hammers’ most talented prospect since Rice had he remained in London.

For example, in 41 appearances across various age groups last season, totalling 2807 minutes, the incredible midfielder racked up an outrageous tally of 17 goals and 25 assists.

In other words, the youngster averaged a 1.02 goal involvement per game, or one every 66.83 minutes all season.

Such an out-of-this-world rate of return goes some way in justifying journalist Nassali Sandrah’s claim that the 18-year-old is “the best academy player in Europe.”

As if that weren’t enough, he has also flown through the international youth teams and currently has three caps for England’s U19s.

Ultimately, West Ham have got their fair share of exciting talents in the academy at the moment, but had they kept hold of Mukasa, he would undoubtedly be the jewel in the crown.

Manchester United captain Peter Schmeichel has urged Ruben Amorim to remove Bruno Fernandes from the captaincy role, as the former goalkeeper questioned the Portuguese midfielder's body language on the pitch. United are on a high following their brilliant win over rivals Liverpool in the Premier League last Sunday as the Red Devils picked up their first win at Anfield in almost a decade.

• Man Utd's back-to-back wins in Premier League after difficult start

  United picked up consecutive victories in the Premier League for the first time since Amorim took charge of the club in November 2024 as they beat Liverpool 2-1 last Sunday. They had collected a win at home to Sunderland just before the October international break. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring for the Red Devils with an early strike but Cody Gakpo brought the Reds back into the game after the break. However, Harry Maguire delivered the match-winning goal with a clinical header from Fernandes' pinpoint cross towards the end of the match.

  Red Devils icon Schmeichel was highly impressed by Maguire's performance, who featured in the starting lineup only the third time in the league this season. The former goalkeeper even recommended Maguire to take back the club's captaincy as he urged Amorim to consider changing the leader of the side.

  'I can’t praise him enough'

  Speaking to at full-time at Anfield, Schmeichel said: "I can’t praise him enough. I want Harry Maguire to play every game. I want him to be the captain. He’s got all the attributes of a good Manchester United leader. He’s not the quickest, I’ll agree with that, and he’s got some trouble on the turn, but Man Utd have had defenders like that before. But what they always had next to them were quick players and that’s what we don’t have at the moment. I think he should be the number one defender and he can organise everybody. He talks to everybody and gives them confidence, and I think that is important. Somebody who stands out all the time and takes responsibility, because I think that has been a problem in this team."

• Schmeichel questions Fernandes' body language

  Speaking about current United skipper Fernandes, Schmeichel added: "I think Bruno is a fantastic player, plays maybe in the wrong position, but sometimes I don’t like his body language. I know he talks really well to all the players but somethimes he has reactions that can be mistaken for something else. Harry doesn’t have that, he has that calm head. I was saying during the game: Look at Harry, look at how he is telling everyone where to go and helping players. And there are a lot of players in this team that are so low on confidence that they need help. And then Harry plays and I’m so happy he scored that goal."

• Arsenal legend heaps praise on Maguire

  Adding to Schmeichel's comments, former Gunners star Freddie Ljungberg further heaped praise on Maguire, as he said: "I always felt sorry for Maguire because the sh*t he had been getting in England had been horrible. I always felt for the man because he always takes it with dignity, and when he’s out on that pitch, he gives everything for Man United. Never complained about it, he just does his job and every game I see him, I want him to do well. A game like this, when they score so early and in the second half they can stand and defend that low block, for Maguire, that is perfect.

  "Sometimes I feel they criticise him when they play a high line and he has to turn and run back. Yeah, that’s not his strength. But what the game looked like today, he was amazing."

Duffy starred with four wickets while Foulkes took three to skittle Pakistan for 105 in 221 chase

Srinidhi Ramanujam23-Mar-2025New Zealand’s fast bowlers crushed Pakistan in swinging conditions at Mount Maunganui and set up a massive 115-run win to help the home side clinch the series 3-1 with a match to spare. After chasing down 205 in Auckland to keep the series alive, Pakistan were all out in 16.2 on Sunday with New Zealand’s four-seam attack accounting for nine of the ten wickets. Jacob Duffy made early inroads, picking up three wickets inside the powerplay to dent Pakistan and they never recovered from the top-order collapse.Earlier, Finn Allen top-scored with a 20-ball fifty and cameos from Tim Seifert and Michael Bracewell powered New Zealand to 220 for 6. New Zealand made the intent clear from the beginning as they raced to 79 for 1 in the powerplay. Even though there was a slowdown in the middle overs, New Zealand managed to post their second straight 200-plus total in the series, which proved too much for the visitors.Duffy, Foulkes run through PakistanPakistan’s chase never took off with New Zealand troubling them with swing and seam on offer. Unlike the game in Auckland, Pakistan couldn’t take advantage of the dew factor. The chase began with Will O’Rourke, playing his first match of the series, removing Mohammed Haris with an excellent delivery that nipped back in to disturb his stumps. Duffy then dismissed Hasan Nawaz, centurion from the last match, and captain Salman Agha in the second over to dent Pakistan. Zakary Foulkes, one of the two changes that New Zealand made to the XI, also struck instantly, as he cleaned up Shadab Khan in his first ball with an inswinger.Eventually, Pakistan lost eight wickets for 56 runs. The game was all but over at the halfway stage of the chase even though the No.7 Abdul Samad fought a lone battle with his 30-ball 44.Duffy came back for his final over and added one more wicket to his tally to end with 4 for 20 while Foulkes scalped three overall. Duffy is now the highest-wicket taker in the series with 11 wickets from four matchesFinn Allen smashed a 19-ball fifty•Getty ImagesSeifert takes off in powerplayTim Seifert continued to give flying starts for New Zealand. He drove the second ball of the innings, a juicy half-volley from Shaheen Afridi, straight down the ground for four and followed it up with a six over long-on off Khushdil Shah in the next over. Abrar Ahmed’s first over, fourth overall, was the expensive one in the powerplay as Seifert smashed 6, 4, 6 in the 19-run over. The team’s fifty came up in 3.5 overs. But Pakistan got the breakthrough immediately as Haris Rauf was brought in for the fifth over with Seifert pulling a short ball to deep midwicket where Khushdil took a stunning low catch. New Zealand ended the powerplay at 79 for 1 – the second-highest powerplay total for any team against Pakistan in men’s T20Is. Seifert made a 22-ball 44.Pakistan fightback after Allen’s fiftyAllen scored eight off his first six balls, but once the field was spread out, he took charge. Abrar, after his 19-run first over, conceded another 16 runs in his second as Allen hit him for two fours and a six. Allen continued his onslaught, slapping Shadab Khan for two fours and as many sixes in a 23-run 10th over to bring up his fifty off just 19 balls. But he perished the next delivery from Abbas Afridi after miscuing on to mid-off. From 134 for 2, New Zealand slipped to 149 for 5 as Pakistan bowled five boundary-less overs.Bracewell lift NZ at the deathNew Zealand finished the way they began, on a high, scoring 63 runs in the last five overs. Daryl Mitchell scored 29 off 23 after making 18 off his first 19 balls, but it was Bracewell’s cameo of 46 at No.7 which powered New Zealand past 200. He smashed five fours and two sixes in his 26-ball stay, including a 97-metre six to fine leg off Afridi in the 17th over.Rauf was the only Pakistan bowler to leak fewer than ten runs an over in the fourth T20I, as he returned 3 for 27 from his four overs.

Anil Kumble feels that the variety offered by South Africa’s pace trio of Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi makes them the most complete attack for the not-always-bowler-friendly conditions seen in the Champions Trophy 2025.On Saturday, South Africa hammered England to progress into the semi-finals. In their two group stage matches (one was rained off), South Africa bowled England out for 179 and Afghanistan for 208 – the two lowest totals in completed innings in this edition of the Champions Trophy.”I think one good thing about South Africa is that all three of their fast bowlers that played today – of course Mulder is the one who bowls the middle periods – but if you look at the three tall fast bowlers, all of them are really tall. And all of them are different,” Kumble said on ESPNcricinfo’s Match Day show.Related

• Look past Maharaj at your own peril

“Their angles are very different. Rabada is very classical whereas Ngidi is pretty awkward to face with his action and Marco Jansen comes at such height. So all three are very different. So that’s the nature you want in a one-day. That’s the variation.”Even on a flat track, it’s not easy for the batters to line up because all three are very different. And that’s something that South Africa can certainly feel [confident] they have this kind of a quality and also the variety going into the business end of the tournament.”1:27

Kumble heaps praise on Jansen

Kumble: Jansen the ‘complete package for South Africa’

Jansen set the tone in South Africa’s win against England, dismissing their top three inside seven overs with his bounce. He also took three catches, including one off his own bowling.”I think he’s still very young, although he has played quite a lot of cricket. He has certainly matured,” Kumble said. “I’m sure these three wickets [will give him confidence], and also you can see his athleticism in the field with all those catches.”He has improved a lot with his batting as well. He has contributed with the bat on many occasions for South Africa. So in that sense he’s a complete package for South Africa at No. 7 or No. 8.”And with the ball, with the new ball he can bring the ball back in. He’s tall so it’s not easy for the batters to just get under him,” he said. “We saw that with Phil Salt, it just took off. It was quite steep, the bounce, and he couldn’t get over it. You need that variety in your bowling attack and that’s something that South Africa have in plenty.”

Australia go 4-0 ahead on the Women’s Ashes points tally after two ODIs in the multi-format series

Alex Malcolm13-Jan-2025

Alana King dismissed Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone off consecutive deliveries•Cricket Australia via Getty Images

In front of a packed Shane Warne stand at the Junction Oval, Alana King produced an Ashes spell for the ages in the mould of her hero to inspire Australia to an extraordinary victory over England, defending 180 in a crazy finish that had to be seen to be believed and handed the hosts a four-point lead after two matches in the multi-format series.Defending a meagre 181, the lowest ever defended in an Ashes ODI, King took 4 for 25 with some magical legspin bowling. She was well supported by Kim Garth who took 3 for 37 while Ash Gardner bowled a frugal spell of 10 overs taking 1 for 23.King was awestruck by the ovation she got from the Shane Warne stand following her extraordinary spell.”I played a lot of cricket here growing up and even started off my professional career at Victoria, so this place will always be pretty special to me,” King said. “Having the Shane Warne stand now, yeah, it was pretty surreal to be quite honest, but more happy to get the win.”As good as Australia’s bowlers were, England’s batters were enormous contributors to their own downfall with a mix of woeful decision-making and execution ensuring Australia could afford to drop four catches, have Annabel Sutherland withdrawn from the attack for two no-balls above waist high in the 48th over, and still win by 21 runs.England’s meltdown was complete after Amy Jones forgot to run off the second free hit in the over, that had to be bowled by Tahlia McGrath, which left No. 11 Lauren Bell exposed at the start of the 49th. She was bowled first ball to leave Jones stranded on 47.England’s stunning collapse outshone Australia’s earlier in the day after the home side lost 8 for 49 to be bowled out for 180 with Alice Capsey taking a career-best 3 for 22 and Sophie Ecclestone claiming 4 for 35.Ellyse Perry made a match-winning 60 but she was one of Capsey’s three victims as Australia slumped from 131 for 2 to be bowled out in 44.3 overs. It was the first time Australia had been bowled out at the Junction Oval in nine completed ODIs there. The 12 wickets taken by spinners across the match is the joint-most in Australia in ODIs. The rarity of Australia’s stunning collapse was highlighted by the fact that their No. 11 Darcie Brown scored her first ODI run, having previously batted just once in 22 matches.While Australia’s collapse was epic and statistically far more impressive, it ended up being second-best to England who are now in a perilous situation in the series. The collapse came in two parts having reached 68 for 2 after Garth removed both openers.Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt looked in control with a calming 41-run stand. But just like Sydney, both butchered promising starts to leave England stuttering. Knight closed the face trying to work Gardner square and popped up a simple return catches off the leading edge.King then weaved her magic, bowling Danni Wyatt-Hodge with a ball that drifted into middle and leg and ripped into the top of off, leaving the batter with a Mike Gatting-esque look on her face.Sciver-Brunt then following Maia Bouchier and Knight’s lead, closing the bat face against the turn to pop an easy leading edge to cover.England steadied briefly, with Jones and Capsey sharing a 36-run stand. But it came off an asphyxiating 75 balls. Capsey was given out lbw but reprieved via an inside edge. Jones was then dropped at backward point, before finally the pressure told as Garth beat Capsey’s inside edge to finally get her out lbw.King’s last over was mayhem. Charlie Dean tried a lap scoop and succeeded only in popping an easy catch to Mooney who moved behind Alyssa Healy from slip. Ecclestone nicked a big spinning legbreak next ball to leave King on a hat-trick and England eight-down.It should have been nine three balls later. Lauren Filer was dropped at a catching mid-on by Garth to deny King five.Jones then farmed the strike and England still had a chance. Filer was dropped a second time with Healy unable to hold a spectacular one-handed effort off Garth.But as with any great collapse, it was not complete without a calamitous run out. Filer obliged after Jones tried to lap-scoop Megan Schutt. Brown made an exceptional diving save at short third. Filer ran all the way down while Jones never moved. Healy relayed a throw from Brown to Schutt before Filer could get close to safety.England were left nine down needing 34 from 42 balls. Bell then managed to survive 15 balls for one run but equation became 28 from 18 before Sutherland’s 48th seemed to give England hope. But in the chaos of Sutherland’s over, Jones forgot how many balls were left and King forgot she had dropped a free-hit in the deep. Jones’ amnesia was more costly.Earlier, Australia’s collapse could have easily cost them the match. They were cruising after being sent in at 131 for 2 with Perry looking imperious having passed 50 for the 38th time in her ODI career, barely offering a false shot in the process.Ecclestone, the No.1 bowler in the world, had made an indifferent start with the ball after oddly being held out of the attack until the 18th over, having not been brought on until the 15th over in the first ODI in Sydney.She struck second ball, trapping Phoebe Litchfield lbw for 29 as the left-hander yorked herself trying to reverse-sweep.Ecclestone then overattacked to Perry and Mooney for three overs before trapping the left-hander lbw. England needed a review to get the initial not out decision overturned.Capsey then scythed through the middle-order with her part-time offspin after replacing Charlie Dean at the pavilion end. She dropped a relatively straightforward caught and bowled chance offered by Sutherland. But it did not cost much as Sutherland failed to keep another drive down, picking out Knight at cover.Ellyse Perry brought up her half-century with back-to-back boundaries•Cricket Australia via Getty Images

Perry then got bogged down. She had raced to 51 from 52 balls, striking five fours and two sixes. She never went longer than 14 balls without finding the rope and struck a six and two fours in the space of five balls to bring up the milestone.But having motored to 51, she scored just nine runs from her next 22 balls with Ecclestone and Capsey putting the squeeze on having taken two wickets at the other end.In the 29th over, Capsey delivered four consecutive dots to Perry, never leaving the stumps and nearly trapping her lbw with the fourth ball. She sneaked through with the fifth as Perry jammed her bat against her pad but missed the ball. She was initially given not out but England were successful with another review. Capsey added to her haul when Gardner left a huge gap between bat and pad trying an ambitious drive on the up and lost her off stump.Knight seized the moment and brought Filer back on to the remove the out-of-form Tahlia McGrath with sheer pace. Filer had previously looked like Bambi on ice in her opening two spells, slipping and tumbling to the deck in her delivery stride nearly half a dozen times as she conceded 34 in five overs.Ecclestone returned to clean up the tail alongside Bell who also finished with 2 for 25 including the early wicket of Healy.

Desde que assinou com o Botafogo, Danilo Barbosa tenta disputar uma posição no meio de campo do elenco comandado por Luís Castro. Contudo, o atleta enfrentou uma série de problemas físicos que o impediram de ter uma sequência e se firmar entre os onze. Nas últimas partidas, porém, o volante passou a ter mais espaço e tem dado dinamismo ao setor ao qualificar a saída de bola e a marcação e chegar à frente para dar assistências.

O comandante surpreendeu na escalação para o duelo com o Universidad César Vallejo, do Peru, e colocou um meio de campo mais qualificado com a bola no pé. Além de Danilo, que exerceu a função de primeiro homem, Lucas Fernandes foi responsável pelas transições ofensivas, e a equipe contou com um estilo de mais velocidade com o novo gramado sintético do Nilton Santos. Ambos também deram mais liberdade para Eduardo transitar mais perto de Tiquinho Soares.

A mudança surtiu efeito, e o que se viu em campo foi um Alvinegro dominante, se impondo diante de sua torcida e não deixando o adversário incomodar a meta defendida por Lucas Perri. Existe uma enorme diferença técnica entre os times, é verdade, mas a equipe carioca trouxe novas perspectivas para a sequência da temporada com viés de evolução e chegou à quarta vitória consecutiva em 2023.

Além de exercer o papel na contenção com uma forte marcação, Danilo soube aproveitar os espaços e arriscar algumas subidas. Com qualidade, ocupou bem o lado direito e arrancou para erguer a cabeça e achar Victor Sá livre na entrada da área. O atacante finalizou com força e não ofereceu qualquer chance para o arqueiro defender.

Depois de problemas na última temporada, o meio-campista citou que deu prioridade para sua saúde física e mental no período de férias. Com apenas seis partidas no ano passado, Danilo tenta buscar a regularidade necessária para se firmar de vez como titular e já soma treze jogos com a estrela solitária no peito em 2023.

– Sigo trabalhando, independente das lesões que tive principalmente no ano passado. Para um atleta de alto nível, ter uma quebra na sequência de jogos influencia o emocional. É fruto muito do grupo, é um grupo que não deixa você cair nem desanimar. Isso tem sido fundamental, manter essa positividade e ter o apoio de todo o grupo – afirmou Danilo, na coletiva pós-jogo.

Por fim, o volante também respondeu sobre o novo gramado sintético do Estádio Nilton Santos, e ressaltou que o time ainda está em fase de adaptação. No entanto, na próxima rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Botafogo jogará fora de casa, na segunda, às 20h, contra o Bahia, na Arena Fonte Nova.

Comentamos bastante ali dentro sobre controle, passe, a bola às vezes bate e ganha velocidade, e às vezes fazemos o passe e a bola não vai. É uma adaptação gradativa, a cada treino e jogo vamos percebemos como a bola rola. Hoje tivemos mais êxitos do que erros – ressaltou.

The match will take place in the morning of the opening day between Australia and England at the MCG

ESPNcricinfo staff15-Nov-2024An Afghanistan women’s cricket team, consisting of refugees who now live in Australia, will play a game in Melbourne in January, the first time they have been able to come together as a group since leaving their country following the Taliban takeover.The T20 match between an Afghanistan Women’s XI and a Cricket Without Borders XI will take place on January 30 at Junction Oval ahead of the opening day of the floodlit Women’s Ashes Test at the MCG.The players involved fled Afghanistan in 2021 when the Taliban came into power and now live in Canberra and Melbourne. Many play for local cricket clubs but have not been able to form themselves into a representative team.The Australian government has been involved in helping set up the match.”Many people across cricket and the community have come together to provide support for members of the Afghanistan women’s team since their relocation to Australia and this match will be a celebration of that work,” Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley said.”I’m delighted that their ambition to play together will be achieved in this exhibition match which will be a wonderful addition to the many events around the Day/Night Women’s Ashes Test.”Earlier this year, 17 of the players who were contracted to the Afghanistan Cricket Board in 2020 prior to the Taliban takeover wrote to the ICC asking for assistance in setting up a refugee team in Australia.”Our goals in having a refugee team are to develop and showcase our talent, give hope to the women remaining in Afghanistan, and to draw attention to the challenges women of Afghanistan face,” the letter said. “Like the Afghanistan men’s team, we aim to compete at the highest levels. We want to recruit and train girls and women who love cricket to show the world the talent of Afghan women, and to demonstrate the great victories they can achieve if given a chance through the leadership and financial support of the ICC.”On Tuesday, CA announced a partnership with UNICEF Australia as part of the foundation’s “Until Every Girl Can Play” campaign aimed at gender equality.
