The Hurricanes began their season with a win, beating the last year’s Big bash winners by 16 runs thanks to some exceptional death bowling by Riley Meredith, Nathan Ellis and Scott Bolland. The rule changes for the BBL 2020-21 editiowere also put to use for the first time in the game, and it’s fair to say that they had a big impact on the result. While neither team used the X-Factor rule, which would have allowed them to make a substitution mid-way through the first innings, the other two rules certainly made a difference....

The Virat Kohli-led side got back to the No.1 spot after beating New Zealand by 178 runs in the second Test at the Eden Gardens here on Monday besides taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three match series. “I congratulate the team for their dominant show in Test cricket, which is the pinnacle of sport. The ICC Test rankings rightly reflect the impressive performance of Virat Kohli and his boys have displayed since the overseas tour of Sri Lanka, where they registered a series victory after 22 years....

“Just being confident, just being aggressive,” he said. “Getting to the free throw line helped me out a lot. Being aggressive in that aspect. Just pretty much taking what they gave me.” Beal scored a season-high 36 points, Otto Porter Jr. had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and the Washington Wizards won their third straight game with a 131-117 victory over Atlanta on Wednesday night. Wizards star guard John Wall missed the game for personal reasons, but Washington still finished with a season-high 35 assists....

Bears’ Roquan Smith: “That was a BS call" Marsh gazed down the Steelers’ sidelines but did not utter a word. A flag was thrown by referee Tony Corrente.

Torres is in his second spell with Atletico, after re-joining in 2015 and has vast experience in Madrid derbies, insisting that nothing more than a victory will do against their rivals. “In the end, winning is the only thing you will remember,” Torres told Marca....

The game itself was not that exciting, but Beckham continued to make impressive catches in something of a homecoming – only this time it was in a Cleveland uniform. The game started with Beckham making a one-handed grab to set up the Browns’ first score, a 23-yard field goal. And then an 89-yard touchdown reception followed, where the only person to keep pace with Beckham was the sideline official....

The Baddest Woman on the Planet made her return to WWE last week after a long absence and won the 2022 women’s Royal Rumble match. She then confronted Lynch on Monday Night RAW but didn’t make any announcement. Last night on SmackDown, however, Rousey appeared and confirmed that she’ll be challenging SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 38. The RAW Women’s Champion had an interesting reaction, stating that Rousey made a “smart choice” to challenge Charlotte and not her....

Notably, however, each game seems to have a different targeted audience. While this may deter some direct comparisons (as Call of Duty: Vanguard has a campaign and Battlefield 2042 does not), it’s unlikely to prevent all of them. Still, it’s nice knowing that however one likes their first-person shooter, both games aim to please a specific audience.

In a post on Reddit, a user known as Est0niaVisit shared an impressive video of them flying a jet during a recent match of Battlefield 2042.

As noted by Gamepur, reactions to Ji-Soo Paik, who was revealed alongside several other Specialists, has a suite of abilities that seem a lot like popular hacks or otherwise have a high probability of being overpowered. When a player shoots at Ji-Soo Paik, they’ll immediately be highlighted due to her trait Return Fire. Visibility is an important factor in many of Battlefield 2042’s engagements, and Return Fire tips the scales....

[HTML1] Even though it’s still one of EA’s most popular franchises, Battlefield 4 has been through a rollercoaster of a ride since the game launched back in 2013. Initially stumbling out of the gate with a very broken launch, the game managed to recover and offer fans a solid military shooter experience. After finishing work on all five DLC packs late last year, many fans figured DICE was fully moving on to their other sizable projects with Star Wars Battlefront and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst....

A fan of DICE’s Battlefield 5 going by Beta1548 asked the developers on March 30 why they had no double-XP or community events listed in the game’s weekly Reddit news update while “everybody is locked down at home.” Battlefield Community Manager Jeff Braddock responded to let them know that “the tech isn’t there” to create double-XP events in Battlefield 5, but that the team is looking into possible options....

On Twitter, Florian Le Bihan, a core gameplay designer for Battlefield V, shared a story about playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It was all fun and games until Le Bihan was banned from Treyarch’s new shooter. The developer shared an image of an error message that popped up explaining that “DRUNKKZ3 has been banned from playing on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 servers,” adding that Le Bihan would have to “sign in with another profile” in order to play online....

The German, who had lost in the first round at the All England Club for the past five years running, prevailed 3-6 7-5 6-1 on No. 1 Court on Tuesday. She will now face seven-time champion Williams in the last four as the 29-year-old’s pursuit of a maiden grand slam continues. Goerges, seeded 13th, had to do it the hard way after dropping the first set against an opponent who had prevailed in their previous two meetings....

Bayer Leverkusen returns to the Champions League after a two-year hiatus. The German club’s preparation for the Champions League though has been far from ideal after Peter Bosz’s side lost 4-0 to Dortmund during the weekend. Lokomotiv Moscow has some familiar names amongst their ranks with Benedict Howedes, Joao Mario, Krychowiak amongst a few. Team News Bayer Leverkusen Striker Joel Pohjanpalo returned to training during the international break after six months but is unlikely to play a part in today’s match....

Bayern could have taken a huge step towards retaining their title last weekend after Borussia Dortmund were beaten 4-2 by Schalke in a dramatic and controversial Revierderby. But Kovac’s men could only draw 1-1 at second-bottom Nurnberg – their blushes partially spared by Tim Leibold’s last-gasp penalty miss. It means Bayern are two points ahead of second-placed Dortmund with three games to play. After hosting Hannover - who could be relegated if they lose on Saturday and Stuttgart avoid defeat at Hertha Berlin - the Bavarians conclude their campaign with matches against RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt, both teams currently in the Champions League qualification places....

“We are now where we wanted to be,” Bayern coach Niko Kovac said. “We want to stay there, too.” Robert Lewandowski scored twice to become the league’s all-time top-scoring foreign player with 197. The Poland international’s former club, Dortmund, scraped past Stuttgart 3-1 at home. “They parked a gigantic bus,” Dortmund coach Lucien Favre complained. Bayern and Dortmund are tied on points after 25 of 34 rounds with Bayern top on goal difference....

All fixtures in English football were postponed over the weekend due to the Monarch’s passing, as were several other fixtures coming up due to policing issues. With the Queen’s funeral on Monday, September 19, requiring a huge police presence, some significant games with big crowds have been pushed back. Rangers’ Champions League clash with Napoli was put back by 24 hours, while Arsenal’s Europa League tie with PSV Eindhoven has also been postponed....

If they can manage to trouble the defending champions the way they kept Dortmund at bay for nearly two-thirds of the game, they’ll chalk it off as a good day and walk away. Niko Kovac and co. on the other hand, will be hungry when Achim Beierlorzer brings his FC Koln side to the Allianz Arena. Having shaken off their 1-1 draw against Leipzig with a win over Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) in midweek, Bayern will be keen to gather some steam as they go into this tie....
