  • New Zealand vs Pakistan 3rd T20I Highlights: Rizwan takes Pak to victory

    Pakistan chased down 174 runs to win the third and final T20I of the three-match series against New Zealand in Napier on Tuesday as Mohammad Rizwan cracked a 59-ball 89 at the top of the order.

    After winning the toss, Pakistan opted to bowl first. Tim Seifert (35 off 20) got the hosts off to a good start but Faheem Ashraf wreaked havoc in the middle overs with his quick wickets. Glenn Phillips (31 off 20) and Devon Conway (63 off 45) stitched the innings back together and the latter guided his team to 173/7 at the end of 20 overs. Ashraf ended with impressive figures of 3/20. Rizwan ensured Pakistan got off to a great chase — building a 72-run partnership with Mohammad Hafeez (41). Some quick wickets at the death by Tim Southee (2/25) threatened to derail the chase but Pakistan reached the target with 2 balls to spare and 4 wickets in hand.

  • Neymar produces dazzling highlights during Champions League win

    The Red Devils’ progression will now depend on their trip to RB Leipzig in the final game of the Champions League group stages.

    Danilo subsequently deflected Marcus Rashford’s shot into his own net. Those strikes sandwiched the biggest flashpoint of the night, when Fred only received a yellow card for a headbutt on Leandro Paredes.  The midfielder was ultimately dismissed in the second half, though his tackle on Ander Herrera on that occasion looked clean. 

    Fred wasn’t the only United player to be involved in an altercation. Scott McTominay’s challenge on Neymar infuriated the PSG forward and they were seen having a heated exchange as the two teams headed off for half-time. 

    After the break, David de Gea kept United in proceedings on a number of occasions, including with a fingertip save to deny Mitchel Bakker.However, the stopper could only put the ball out for a corner and Marquinhos scored from the resulting set piece. 

    Kylian Mbappe raced through and almost put United to the sword in the final minute of regulation time. But the night belonged to Neymar and it was the 28-year-old who got the Parisians’ third. 

    The goal itself wasn’t spectacular, but he deserved huge credit for orchestrating the move with a superb bit of skill and a dribble into United’s half.
