Two teams that have shown the promise but failed to deliver on big occasions come face to face when Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore clash in their opening match of the Indian Premier League here on Thursday.The Mumbai Indians are the big-spending side and have the Champions League Twenty20 Trophy to show for all the money shelled out on acquiring star players. Besides, Mumbai have also been runners-up once and semifinalists twice in the previous IPL seasons.With Ricky Ponting as captain this time, Mumbai would be hoping to lay their hands on the IPL trophy for the first time.In the batting department, Ambati Rayudu and Rohit Sharma would be looking to continue from where he left in the previous IPL where they amassed 333 and 433 runs respectively.Senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar would open with either Dwayne Smith or James...

Yu Darvish saw the ball skip between his shins, dashing his chance at perfection. Immediately, several Texas Rangers came to the mound to console him. "I think my teammates were more disappointed than I was," he said through a translator. Darvish was one out from a perfect game when Marwin Gonzalez grounded a clean single through the pitcher's legs, and Texas beat the Houston Astros 7-0 on Tuesday night. The celebrated right-hander from Japan struck out a career-high 14 and was in complete control before Gonzalez smacked the first pitch up the middle. Darvish was unable to get his glove down in time, and the ball skittered into center field well beyond a desperate dive by shortstop Elvis Andrus. At that moment, one thought went through Darvish's mind. "I can now go back to the dugout," he deadpanned. "Even if I got the complete game...

The Chicago White Sox were absolutely outstanding Monday against the Kansas City Royals. Are there any takeaways from the Opening Day victory for the White Sox, though?Matter of fact, there are.Three things stood out after digesting the White Sox' 1-0 victory over the Royals.Chris Sale is Worth Every PennyChris Sale, who recently signed a five-year/$32.5 million contract extension, was lights out on Monday for the White Sox.He limited the vaunted Royals offense to seven hits and no earned runs over 7.2 innings. And make no mistake about it, the Royals can hit—especially Sox pitching.Last year, they finished with a mighty .279/.336/.410 slash line against the South Siders. Addison Reed had an ERA over 13.00 and Sale lost three of his eight games against the Royals in 2012. Ouch.Monday was different. White Sox manager Robin Ventura noted during...

Two of the biggest heavyweights in world football will clash this week in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals as Juventus take on Bayern Munich in Germany.The German giants have been one of the most dominant teams this season—running away with the Bundesliga title courtesy of their explosive attack and phenomenal defense—and playing at home, will seemingly be a very tough team to beat.However, Juventus are the reigning Italian champions and appear likely to repeat that feat in 2013 courtesy of their strength in midfield and consistency.They'll be a tough opponent for any team to beat, and will certainly push the German powerhouse here. Whether they'll have the cohesion and discipline required to break down Bayern Munich still remains to be seen, but it will certainly be a thrilling matchup nonetheless.Read on for a full preview of this...

What is there to say about Merle Dixon on "The Walking Dead"? Michael Rooker's performance emerged so fully formed that even though we saw the character for barely more than one episode in Season 1, fans constantly demanded to know when he would return. When he turned up in Daryl's fever dream in Season 2, it was the first time Rooker and Norman Reedus shared the screen as brothers. And it wasn't until this season that we really got to spend more time with Merle, see the Dixon brothers interact as actual people and discover what kind of guy truly lied beneath the gruff exterior. I think most fans would admit that even though Merle was a racist, sexist, socially backward, borderline-homicidal maniac, that he was also kind of lovable. Most of us want to believe that redemption is possible. That even when someone makes mistakes they can see...

Australia were also beaten 0-1 at home by South Africa but have fared better than India during that period. However, the recent retirements of Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey have left their middle order bereft of experience. The last time these two teams locked horns, Australia pummeled India 4-0 at home riding on the superlative performances of their skipper Michael Clarke and the fast bowlers. But conditions in India are completely different and it will take a gargantuan effort from the visitors to outclass the hosts. England beat India 2-1 in 2012, despite losing the first Test, and showed that the hosts are no longer unbeatable in their own backyard with a host of slow bowlers. India have had a horrid last two years in Test cricket, losing eight successive matches overseas and beating only West Indies and New Zealand...

 Surprisingly, Antonio Valencia does not start for Manchester United. Danny Welbeck will get a run out on the wing for Ferguson's side. All eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as Alex Ferguson's preferred method of containing him, when Manchester United takes on Real Madrid in UEFA Champions League action on Wednesday evening. Ferguson has been using Phil Jones in a defensive midfield role in recent weeks to prepare him for the occasion, and has selected Jones in that role. Expect Jones and Ronaldo to see a lot of each other during the game.With Raphael Varane struggling with an injury, Mourinho has picked Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos at the back. Pepe has recently returned from injury, but Varane's form has been superb as of late. Michael Essien, who has also been in good form recently, does not start as Mourinho looks...

Defending champions England will take on last edition finalists New Zealand in a crucial Super Six match of the ICC Women’s World Cup at Brabourne stadium today. England lost a low-scoring tie against Australia but bounced back to win against South Africa. England skipper Charlotte Edwards needs to fire with the bat, while the combination of Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole needs to provide early breakthroughs in their quest to defend the title. While the Kiwis depend on their captain Suzie Bates, much will also hinge on their pacers Sian Ruck, Rachael Candy and Lea Tahuhu. England’s left-arm spinner Holly Colvin (23) said, “we know there is a slim chance of qualifying for the final and there have been quite a lot of upsets. We need Australia to beat the West Indies and that is completely out of our control. I am sure it’s...

World T20 Champions West Indies will look to put on a show when they face Australia in a one-off Twenty20 International on Wednesday night. The Windies have found the going tough on the ongoing tour and will look to get their first victory in the upcoming match at the Gabba.“We have an opportunity to finish the tour on a high. We did the job very well in Sri Lanka last year. The last time we played against Australia in this format we completely outplayed them so that is the kind of motivation we will carry into the match. I know the boys are definitely looking forward to it and I know we will dust off the One-Dayers and play like world champions.”Sammy added: “The people over here in Australia have been very supportive of us and we have not demonstrated our very best cricket for them to see, so we want to give them something special...

The route to qualification for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations tournament was different for both sides. While the Super Eagles walloped Liberia 6-1, the Stallions needed a stoppage time goal to edge out the Central African Republic 3-3 on aggregate scores.But that is where the difference ends, and since their 1-1 draw on January 21, both sides have grown in stature and will now contest the final of the 2013 edition of the Nations Cup with a chance to represent Africa in the Fifa Confederations Cup later this year in Brazil.But as Jonathan Akpoborie said, “The Eagles have to continue playing like they did against Cote d’Ivoire.” That is good advice, as nothing has been won yet by either team, and while they are already both commended for coming this far, history will only remember the country that wins the title.For Burkina Faso, this is uncharted...

In the 14th round of the Dutch top tier football, Roda JC Kerkrade will lock horns against Ajax Amsterdam at Parkstad Limburg Stadion on Sunday, November 25. Roda JC Kerkrade De Koempels are heading into the game on the back of a demoralising 5-1 defeat at the hands of Heracles Almelo on November 18. Lerin Duarte gave the Heraclieden an early lead, which was cancelled out by Sanharib Malki in the 33rd minute. However, Duarte restored his side’s lead only four minutes later. Willy Overtoom doubled his side’s advantage in the 58th minute, before Geoffrey Castillion and Samuel Armenteros’ strike completed the rout for the home side. De Limburgers have been struggling to compete in the highest echelons of Dutch football since the start of the 2012/13 campaign. Occupying the 16th spot on the league table, they have an overall record of 13...

A 95th minute strike from Marco Rigoni sunk the Laziale, as Davide Ballardini took his first victory since taking over at the Luigi Ferraris from Gigi Delneri, and Genoa moved a place and a point outside of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Parma succumbed to a 2-0 defeat away in Florence, meaning they stayed 10th in the table. Parma's dangerman is unquestionably Ishak Belfodil, who aroused the attention of Juve on deadline day. He too has scored seven goals this season, and with Nicola Sansone looking ever better up front, they are a pairing which could terrorise the Genoese defence. Also, keep an eye on Sotiris Ninis -- the highly-rated creative Greek international who has only played a bit-part this season, but who could come into the midfield for this one.Genoa only have a couple of injury woes with Antonio Floro Flores missing...

FC Barcelona host Getafe tomorrow in Sunday's early kick-off, as they look to bounce back from last week's underwhelming 1-1 draw against Valencia. Despite dropping those two points at the Mestalla, the Blaugrana still have a healthy lead over Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga - and that lead stand at twelve points by the time Atleti kick-off in their match against in-form Rayo Vallecano. That being said, some of the Barca players are unlikely to be at 100% following the midweek internationals; will they have enough left in the tank to defeat Getafe?Given that Getafe have never won at the Camp Nou, and that Luis Garcia's side have struggled for form on their travels thus far this season, it's hard to envisage anything other than a Barcelona win tomorrow - but what will the final result be? Predict the score by voting in our poll, and...

Saturday’s encounter is a matter of motivation after disappointments in their respective semi-final matches. The Eagles of Mali were thrashed 4-1 by the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the first semi-final match on Wednesday. It was the kind of result which left many baffled, as a much tighter match was expected.But Patrice Carteron’s men failed to live up to the expected level of the match as the Nigerians walked comfortably into the final.On the other hand, the Black Stars of Ghana, who were seen as one of the major favourites, missed out on another attempt to make it into the final after a 3-2 defeat to Burkina Faso on penalties.The match ended 1-1 after 120 minutes and the Stallions were the ones smiling as they booked their first appearance in the final of the Afcon following a penalty shootout victory.

New Zealand XI put up a better bowling performance compared to the first practice match and managed to keep the England batting in check till the 12th over when Jos Buttler joined Eoin Morgan at the crease. The two brought in their good form from the previous game, adding 87 runs in 8.2 overs before Buttler, who made an unbeaten half-century in the previous match, was dismissed for 51 off 31 balls by Neil Wagner. The stand-out performance for the hosts came from Canterbury batsman Tom Latham, who built on the good start by the openers Hamish Rutherford and Anton Devcich, scoring a brisk 64 off 38 balls. Subsequently, at one stage it looked like New Zealand would win with a few overs to spare.England opener Michael Lumb said his side was not too disappointed with the tight finish. "We did drag it back well. They could have...

After a crushing loss to the Boston Celtics on February 7, the Los Angeles Lakers have little time for a pity party. The team will head south to face the Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena tonight, and this will be a true test as to how well they can shake off a blowout loss.Seeing as how Charlotte has lost five games in a row, the Lakers are in a position to be part of another blowout, but on the winning side. They already narrowly defeated the Bobcats on December 18, and this is the opportunity for their new pass-first attitude to make a comeback and show that Los Angeles can make a comeback en route to a playoff spot.Of course, that won't be easy against Charlotte. Though they do have a poor record, the Bobcats have some fine young players capable of being key difference makers down the stretch.It's going to be up to the veteran...

England have played two of their three group games at Brabourne Stadium and Sthalekar admitted that gave them a slight advantage. "They have played three more matches to get an idea of the pitch and the conditions. It depends on what wicket you were on and how many times that has been played. But I still feel that our match - the warm-up - was a good enough preparation. We just trained out there which is similar conditions so the girls are getting a good grip and understanding of the wicket. They might have a slight advantage but we are coming here fresh as well, so they might be a bit over the scenery."Brindle said England now knew the lines and lengths they needed to bowl at Brabourne Stadium and felt the surprise loss to Sri Lanka in their opening game had been an early wake-up call. "As soon as you lose a game in any competition...

The French team have impressed onlookers with their well-organised and strong side, but they had to rely on a penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals to overcome Boca Juniors. In contrast, Fluminense brushed aside Inter Milan 3-1 in a stunning display of samba style play thanks to their attacking verve.The game will also see two players considered the tournament’s best playing against each other as PSG captain Franck Bambock lines up opposite Flu’s flying forward Robert Kenedy Nunes. Bambock has been hailed as a star of the future thanks to his mature displays in central midfield as he has lead his team into the final by example. The final of the Al Kass International Cup takes place in Doha on Thursday 7th February 2013.

With only four teams left in Africa's premier competition, all are aware of the magnitude of proceedings—Ghana have made it this far after topping their group, and then overcoming Cape Verde 2-0 in the first of the tournament's quarter finals.
