WPL 2023: Gujarat Giants hand Royal Challengers Bangalore third straight defeat

Mumbai: Gujarat Giants handed Royal Challengers Bangalore their third consecutive defeat in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) here on Wednesday, winning a high-scoring contest by 11 runs to record their first victory in three matches. After splendid half-centuries from Sophia Dunkley (65) and Harleen Deol (67) propelled Gujarat Giants to a strong 201 for 7 after batting first, their bowlers did a fair job, restricting RCB to 190 for 6 in their 20 overs. RCB opener and New Zealand batter Sophie Devine largely played a lone hand in their chase, hitting a well-made 66 from 45 balls with eight fours and two sixes. Towards the end, Heather Knight (30 not out off 11 balls) provided RCB a glimmer of hope, but the challenge of scoring 33 runs off the last two overs and 24 off the final over prov...

Roaring start: Saika scalped four wickets on her WPL debut for Mumbai Indians. | Photo Credit: ANI It was with boys that Saika Ishaque started playing cricket.

What is unusual is that the boys she played with, at an academy in Kolkata, thought that she was a boy.“I had short hair and looked quite like a boy; I was about nine then,” a smiling Saika said during an interview with The Hindu on Wednesday. “When those boys found out that I was a girl, I felt embarrassed. They stopped talking to me.” She is now the talk of the town. With six wickets from two matches in the WPL, she became an early owner of the purple cap.

Tiger Woods’ apparent ex-girlfriend Erica Herman approaches court to void NDA: US media reports

Tiger Woods and longtime girlfriend Erica Herman appear to have split up, and a legal battle could ensue. Us Weekly and TMZ reported on Wednesday that Herman wants a court to void a non-disclosure agreement that Woods required her to sign when they became a couple in 2017.
