To qualify, Scotland and West Indies need to win their next matches by big margins and hope Bangladesh lose badly to Pakistan

Pakistan secured their fourth win of the World Cup Qualifier•Associated Press
Pakistan confirmed their participation at the Women’s ODI World Cup after beating Thailand by 87 runs to secure their fourth win of the qualifier. Pakistan, with eight points, are at the top of the table and can only be matched by Bangladesh, who they play on Saturday and are in pole position to take the second World Cup spot.Two other teams – Scotland and West Indies – are also in contention. In order to qualify, Scotland and West Indies need to win their matches against Ireland and Thailand respectively by big margins and hope Bangladesh lose badly enough to Pakistan to dip below them in net run rate terms. Bangladesh can qualify for the World Cup even if they lose to Pakistan and both Scotland and West Indies win their final matches because of their net run rate advantage.Pakistan will be thrilled to have avoided the intricacies of calculations like these after they booked their World Cup places with a game to spare. They are also unbeaten on home turf and have rediscovered their form. Before the qualifiers, Pakistan had last won an ODI in December 2023 and were on a five-game losing streak. In the last week, they put that right and reeled off four straight wins, albeit not always easily, and will now play in their fifth successive World Cup.Related

Pakistan will not travel to India for 2025 Women's ODI World Cup
Fahima-Ferdus' achievement 'is inspiring for the team', says captain Sultana
Their participation will require additional logistics for the tournament, scheduled for India from late September. In keeping with the hybrid model agreed by the BCCI and PCB ahead of this year’s Champions Trophy, Pakistan are unlikely to travel to India for the tournament and will play their matches at a yet-to-be-decided neutral venue.Pakistan will not worry about that for now as they celebrate their qualification run led by their captain Fatima Sana. She injected energy into a pedestrian innings that was meandering at 119 for 4 after 40 overs – a scoring rate of under three runs an over – with a quickfire unbeaten 62 off 59 balls. Sana and Sidra Amin, who posted her third fifty-plus score of the qualifiers with 80 off 105 balls, shared a run-ball 97-run stand and Pakistan scored 86 runs in the last ten overs to give themselves a defendable total.Take nothing away from Thailand’s bowlers, who were disciplined for the bulk of the innings and created several chances. Two of them were off Sana’s bat and she was caught twice off the bowling of offspinner Onnicha Kamchomphu but the deliveries were judged no-balls and Sana continued batting. Without her contribution, Pakistan may have been concerned especially as Thailand’s batting has improved as the campaign has gone on.They scored 259 chasing 306 against Ireland two days ago which was their highest ODI score and would have believed that even though they had never successfully chased a target above 200, they could give it a good go. Thailand were hard done by when opener Chanida Sutthiruang was given out stumped off Sadia Iqbal when replays seemed to suggest her foot was grounded behind the line when Sidra Nawaz broke the stumps. But they could not complain when Sana, who came on to bowl in the tenth over, sent down a delivery on a perfect offstump line and Nattaya Boochatham edged behind. Two balls later, Nannapat Koncharoenkai was bowled by offspinner Rameem Shamim and at 44 for 3, Thailand’s chances looked grim.They worked their way to 100 before Sana struck again. She bowled Thipatcha Putthawong and Suwanan Khiaoto to pick up 3 for 39 and is now the joint second highest wicket-taker of the qualifiers, three wickets behind Hayley Matthews. Thailand were bowled out for 118 in the 35th over. They remain winless from their four matches so far and sign off against West Indies on Saturday in a match West Indies will be looking to win by as large a margin as possible.West Indies still in contentionWest Indies kept their World Cup hopes alive with a three-wicket win over Bangladesh, who suffered their first loss of the campaign. The result came against the run of play against a West Indies’ side that seemed to be unraveling especially in this match.Aaliyah Alleyne starred with four wickets•Getty Images
Early on in the Bangladesh innings, an on-field collision between Matthews and Chinelle Henry as they both tried to get under a skied ball, took them both off the field for a period of time and shortly afterwards, West Indies coach Shane Deitz had been gesturing in frustration to his bowlers. Matthews and Henry returned with no damage done and Deitz had calmed down but Bangladesh were comfortably positioned on 134 for 1 in the 28th over and West Indies looked out of ideas. Sharmin Akhter had registered her third half-century of the tournament and overtaken Nigar Sultana Joty at the tip of the run-scorers’ list. In the circumstances, Bangladesh were in complete control.Then, Fargana Hoque popped a chance back to Aaliyah Alleyne, who took a good, low catch in her follow through and a procession began. Alleyne bowled Sharmin Akhter two balls later and Bangladesh’s two set batters were both dismissed but they still had Nigar Sultana in hand. It was when Alleyne also bowled her, for 5, that Bangladesh would have started to wonder where the big runs would come from. Afy Fletcher took two wickets in two overs, Matthews took two in three overs and Alleyne finished off with career-best figures of 4 for 39. She is now the second leading wicket-taker at the event, behind Matthews. Bangladesh lost eight wickets for 80 runs and their total of 227 did not seem enough.West Indies brought Qiana Joseph back into the team after she missed the Pakistan match and she appeared in much better touch than before. Her 39-ball 31 ensured West Indies had a good start. They were 60 for 2 when Joseph was dismissed and 140 for 3 in the 30th over and progressing steadily. Marufa Akter’s stunning double strike took out both Matthews and Stafanie Taylor – fantastically caught when Marufa stuck her left-arm above her head in her follow-through – and at 147 for 5, Bangladesh would have been eyeing victory.Henry and Shabika Gajnabi shared a 50-run sixth-wicket stand to keep West Indies in the hunt. As the senior partner, Henry took control, scored quickly and was aggressive in her strokeplay. She was on 33 off 40 balls when Gajnabi was caught on the deep mid-wicket boundary and would have known it was up to her to close the game out. Henry went on to bring up her fourth ODI half-century, hit two sixes and got West Indies to the total with four overs to spare.With this result, West Indies moved up to four points, level with Scotland but with a worse net run-rate.
da spicy bet： Manchester United are issuing the perfect response to a 2024/25 campaign that left everything to be desired.
da casino： Though INEOS’ efforts to bring in new signings proved protracted at the start, there has been an impetus on strengthening with genuine quality, the frontline revamped through deals for Premier League stars Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, followed by the £74m acquisition of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, one of the most talented young strikers in Europe.
FFC Manchester United Sesko Mbeumo Cunha
Ruben Amorim was dealt a tough hand when leaving his high-flying Sporting Lisbon project and taking over an Old Trafford side in disrepair, but he’s weathered the storm and has hunkered down, reshaping the team, stamping his mark on the squad.
Man Utd confident they will sign PL star
Technical director Jason Wilcox remains hard at work. Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has been slated to replace the beleaguered Andre Onana between the sticks, while talks continue over the sales of several first-team drifters, chief of which being Alejandro Garnacho, who is expected to join Chelsea before the end of the window.
However, it’s clear that Amorim is also hoping to sign a dynamic number 6 before the end of the month, viewing a robust profile in the role as being perfect to take his side to the next level and leave a significant impression on the Premier League, pushing United back into the ascendancy of European football.
According to The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, via TEAMtalk, Manchester United are growing in confidence as they chase a deal for Brighton & Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba.
The all-action midfielder, 21, has previously been reported by Fabrizio Romano to be the focus of new talks between the Premier League rivals, though the Seagulls don’t want to sell and will make any bid extremely difficult, pricing their star at £104m.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
Baleba, however, is attracted by the thought of joining the Old Trafford side and Amorim is intent on bringing players who want to fight for the badge.
What Carlos Baleba would bring to Man Utd
One of Man United’s most fatal flaws throughout the post-Fergie era has been signing established ‘superstars’, who perhaps have the headline name but have been there and done that, and thus don’t have the fire in their belly that the club need.
Baleba is the perfect profile to buck that trend, and what’s more, so are the already-made deals completed over the past few months. Whisper it quietly, but something feels different about the Red Devils this time.
Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba
Brighton have a knack for identifying and developing midfielders. Their talent ID is superlative and mistake-free. And with Baleba eager to switch the sandy south coast for Manchester’s bustling streets, INEOS and Amorim have a glorious opportunity to take this Man United team into their next phase.
The 21-year-old powerhouse is a holding midfielder with bags of energy and an attacking flair, lending itself to an influential position in Fabian Hurtzler’s Seagulls team.
And considering the player’s “colossal” performances so far in the Premier League, as have been noted by Brighton reporter Aden-Jay Wood, he could revolutionise United’s midfield, maybe even turning out to be their own version of Manchester City sensation Rodri.
Rodri’s is a name that we all know. The Spain international is one of the greatest players of his generation and has won the full gamut at the Etihad Stadium, scoring 26 goals and supplying 32 assists across 265 matches in all competitions.
But he started somewhere, and that first campaign in the Premier League proved tricky, with City losing their Premier League title to Liverpool.
Rodri still made an exciting impression, though, and it’s curious to note that Baleba for Brighton last season ranked up quite nicely against that version of the Iberian midfielder.

Rodri might be a Ballon d’Or-winning superstar, but when he first arrived on English shores and got to work under Pep Guardiola’s wing, he had much to learn, and it’s promising to note that Baleba in his youthful period is on the same level as the Spaniard’s one-time iteration.
FBref recorded that the Cameroonian midfielder ranks among the top 12% of positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for successful take-ons per 90 too, thus illustrating his capacity to slide forward and progress play for his team.
Though it would take much time and effort to build Baleba up to a position where he could be considered the finest midfielder in the Premier League, one of the best in the world, he certainly has the potential to be just that.
There’s plenty of rocky terrain still to traverse before Man United crest this mountain, which has loomed before them for so long, but it’s not unjust to suggest that things are changing, and that the signings being made have the potential to drive an exciting new era.
Were Baleba to join, Amorim’s midfield would be revolutionised, with a centrepiece carrying all the potential to emulate Rodri and become an all-powerful presence in a Manchester midfield.

Gabriel Moscardo passou por todas as categorias de base do clube e foi campeão da Paulista Cup Sub-14 e Sub-16 e do Paulistão Sub-17. Com apenas 17 anos, virou um dos principais jogadores da equipe profissional do Timão – ao total, já são 24 jogos, sendo 20 como titular. O volante foi promovido pelo então técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo, que apostou em alguns atletas das categorias de base para buscar soluções para o time.
Inclusive, a reta final do Brasileirão pode marcar a despedida do jovem no Corinthians, já que ele deve ser negociado na próxima janela de transferências. Titular nesta terça-feira (28), na vitória por 4 a 2 contra o Vasco, fora de casa, o volante marcou seu primeiro gol pelo time principal.

INTERESSE EUROPEU
Joia da base corintiana, Moscardo atraiu a atenção de gigantes do futebol mundial. Atualmente, o Paris Saint-Germain, da França, foi mais um a demonstrar interesse na contratação do volante. Além do time parisiense, Barcelona, Arsenal, Atlético de Madrid, Chelsea, Milan e Manchester United foram alguns dos clubes interessados.
O Chelsea foi quem chegou mais perto de contratar Moscardo em julho. Os ingleses fizeram uma oferta de 21 milhões de euros (R$ 108,9 milhões), com a possibilidade do valor total aumentar em 4 milhões de euros (R$ 20,7 milhões) em bonificações. No entanto, o Corinthians decidiu segurar o garoto por entender que a revelação pode render cifras ainda maiores. A ideia é tornar o volante a maior venda da história do clube.

VALOR DE MERCADO
A diretoria do Corinthians definiu o valor de mercado do atleta em 30 milhões de euros (R$ 155,5 mi, na cotação atual). Moscardo tem contrato com o Timão até julho de 2026, com multa rescisória de 100 milhões de euros (R$ 518,5 milhões) para o mercado internacional, e durante a última janela de transferências recebeu uma proposta de 21 milhões de euros (R$ 108,9 milhões) para se transferir para os Blues.
O treinador Mano Menezes comentou sobre a possível saída de Gabriel Moscardo após a vitória corintiana em São Januário, afirmando que está torcendo para que o volante fique mais tempo no clube.
– A gente sente bastante a saída prematura dos jovens brasileiros. Quando eles começam a se destacar o pessoal de fora tem mais informação que a gente, mapeiam tudo. Vamos torcer para que ele (Moscardo) fique mais tempo. Torço para que, mesmo que tenha negociação, fique com a gente porque vai alegrar muito – disse Mano em entrevista coletiva.
كشف رامي ربيعة مدافع فريق الكرة الأول بالنادي الأهلي النقاب عن تفاصيل اشتباكه مع محمود عبد الرازق شيكابالا لاعب الزمالك، عقب نهاية مباراة كأس السوبر المصري بفوز المارد الأحمر.
وقال ربيعة في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “الأهلي”: “شيكابالا شخصية محترمة جدًا وهو الذي أستقبلني في مطار البرتغال عندما انضممت إلى سبورتنج لشبونة”.
رامي ربيعة: موسيماني لم يكن عادلًا معي.. ووقعت على عقود رحيلي عن الأهلي بسببه
وأضاف: “وارد أن يكون فهم وقت احتفالي أنني سأحتفل بطريقة مبالغ فيها، ووارد أن يكون منزعج من الخسارة، وفي كل الأحوال أنا لم أتشاجر معه بعد المباراة”.
وتابع: “شيكابالا محترم معي وكل مباراة نتصافحو وهو أكبر مني سنًا ومقامًا، ولا يوجد مشكلة معه، أما عن احتفالي بـ”النوم” فكان هذا من أجل زوجتي وابنتي وليست موجهة لجمهور الزمالك”.
وواصل: :إذا تلقيت عرضًا بضعف راتبي مع الأهلي، من الزمالك أو بيراميدز سأرفض، أنا أملك 6 ألقاب دوري أبطال إفريقيا مع المارد الأحمر، لماذا أنضم لنادي لم يحصل على بطولات أكثر من فريقي ولا أعلم إذا كنت سأحقق ألقابًا أو لا”.
واستكمل: “تحدثت مع زميلي ياسر إبراهيم بشأن إيقاف سفيان رحيمي، هو رأس حربة قوي، وأحرز أهداف في منتخب مصر ونريد أننا نوقف هذا الأمر بمنعه من لمس الكرة وعدم إعطاءه أي فرصة”.
رامي ربيعة: إمام عاشور لا يتقبل التوجيه في الملعب.. ولم يتحدث أحد معي لتجديد عقدي
واستطرد: “الفوز بكأس العالم للأندية هو ما ينقصنا، وكثرة المباريات تسببت في إجهاد عضلاتي وهذا سبب إصاباتي”.
واستأنف: “شخصية محمد أبو تريكة خارج الملعب مثل داخله، ملتزم ويحب عمله جدًا ويتواجد في المران بشكل مبكر جدًا، ويحرص على جمع اللاعبين لقراءة القرآن دون إجبار أحد”.
وأتم: “أجمل شيء في محمد عبد المنعم أنه سلس وناضج رغم صغر سنه، والزمالك هو أقوى منافس محليًا قاريًا في الوقت الراهن، لأن جوزيه جوميز صنع حالة جيدة في الفريق”.
Sunrisers Hyderabad were dismissed for a below-par total for the second time in three games this season
ESPNcricinfo staff30-Mar-20255:41
Do SRH’s batters lack a plan B?
Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Daniel Vettori will have “no conversations” with his team to temper their approach following two successive losses in IPL 2025.After starting the season by hitting 286 against Rajasthan Royals, the second-highest IPL total, SRH have stumbled twice with the bat: first against Lucknow Super Giants, and now against Delhi Capitals.On Sunday in Visakhapatnam, they were revived from 37 for 4 in the fifth over by rookie batter Aniket Verma and Heinrich Klaasen, before they stumbled to 163 all out in 18.4 overs. Vettori emphasised the need to stay true to their philosophy of taking the game on, even if it may backfire occasionally.”There’s no conversations around that [tempering down],” he said. “We definitely want to play an aggressive brand. If you look at our top three, that’s how they play. They normally set the tone for the rest of us.”Abhishek Sharma was run out in the first over, while Ishan Kishan and Travis Head were dismissed trying to hit boundaries. Kishan slashed a short delivery to deep backward point while Head was out nicking while attempting to ramp Mitchell Starc.”Abhishek was unlucky tonight, Ishan and Travis on a different day may have hit those balls for six,” he said. “We understand when we play this way, there may be failure but hopefully we can come to the party and perform more often than not.”Vettori said the position SRH are in this early in the season wasn’t a setback and backed his team to recover.”If you look at the course of the 18 IPL seasons, there’s been very few teams that haven’t lost two games in a row,” he said. “Particularly early in the season when teams are learning their combinations, first year after a big auction.”We don’t want to be in this position, like any team, but we understand every time we play, we come up against a very good team, well-planned teams and highly talented players.”There’s no reason why we can’t just turn up and win, we’ve got to perform, that’s the challenge for us after a very good first performance and continue in the style we like. How we challenge ourselves to do it consistently [is important].”Vettori had high praise for rookie legspinner Zeeshan Ansari, who gave SRH some hope in their defence by picking up three wickets in his first competitive T20 in over six years.Ansari, a former India Under-19 player from the same batch as Rishabh Pant, Kishan and Khaleel Ahmed among others, had earned a trial with SRH after a chart-topping performance at the UP T20 League last year.”He was fantastic,” Vettori said. “Right from the first day he came in we knew that he was a talent, trying to fit him in the team was one of the conversations early on. For him to give us the domestic leg-spin option, to take three big wickets tonight, and to continue to challenge the batsmen is something very promising for us going forward.”

da dobrowin： Zlatan Ibrahimović is a player who had a huge impact in a short space of time at Manchester United, capturing the hearts of the fanbase as a result.
da bwin： The Swede joined the club on a free transfer from PSG back in the summer of 2016, subsequently handing the Red Devils the needed talisman they craved.
He managed to register 28 goals in his 46 appearances during his debut campaign, including four in the EFL Cup as he helped the club claim the trophy with a win over Southampton at Wembley.
However, a serious knee injury massively halted his progress at Old Trafford, only managing a total of seven outings throughout his second year at the club – before leaving on a free in June 2018.
Seven years on from his departure, boss Ruben Amorim has the opportunity to land his own version of the striker this summer in an attempt to rise up the Premier League table throughout 2025/26.
The latest on United’s hunt for a new striker this summer
Alexander Isak has been a player at the heart of one of the biggest transfer sagas this summer, with United themselves making an enquiry to land the Newcastle United star.
However, such an approach was rapidly dismissed, with the player himself holding out for a move to Liverpool after their opening offer of £120m was rejected last week.
Despite the failure to land the Swede, Amorim could be about to make a move to land RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko, according to The Standard’s latest update.
They claim that the Red Devils are preparing an offer for the Slovenian international, after Newcastle had their £69m offer rejected over the weekend.
The Standard also states that the player himself could still be keen on a move to Old Trafford this summer, despite their lack of European football ahead of next season.
Why United’s latest target could be Amorim’s own Ibrahimovic
There are very few players in the modern game who can compare to Zlatan, with the legendary forward possessing a unique playstyle – not to mention his confidence off the field.
AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The 43-year-old was a player who was an aerially dominant option, but also capable of scoring the spectacular, as seen by the stupendous goal catalogue he’s produced during his career.
Moments of magic are what made him the player he was at Old Trafford, with his effort against Sunderland showcasing his ability to create an opportunity out of nothing.
His height, at 6”5, was a huge problem for multiple backlines in England’s top-flight, perfectly fitting the mould of what’s needed for a striker leading the line for the Red Devils.
Very few players have been able to replicate such levels since his departure, but that could all be about to change at Old Trafford in the coming weeks, with a move for the RB Leipzig talisman.
RB Leipzig's BenjaminSeskocelebrates their second goal scored by Lukas Klostermann
Sesko, who sits at a staggering 6”5, possesses a very similar frame to Zlatan, also being aerially dominant, like the Swede, as seen by his tally of 2.6 aerials won per 90 last season.
The Slovenian, who’s been labelled “phenomenal” by analyst Antonio Mango, also scored 21 goals in 2024/25, often producing a sensational strike, as seen by his long-range effort against Bayern Munich.
His excellence in attacking areas is further showcased in his tally of 1.5 dribbles completed per 90, having the all-round talent to impress in the air or on the ground when needed.
Ultimately, his record of goals last season is the biggest sign of a good player, with Amorim’s side desperately needing a new forward who can produce the goods if they are to improve on their dismal 2024/25.

Sesko has all the tools needed to thrive in the current first-team squad, able to develop further under the manager’s guidance, given his tender age of just 22 years.
If he can build on his recent displays in Germany at Old Trafford, he would be a phenomenal buy, despite the fee, potentially being Amorim’s own version of former fan favourite Ibrahimović.

da pinup bet： Despite winning the FA Cup against rivals Manchester City to somewhat salvage an otherwise disappointing season, Erik ten Hag's Manchester United future remains in doubt this summer.
Man Utd manager news
da esoccer bet： Everything was going to plan in Ten Hag's first season in charge as he guided the Red Devils into the Premier League's top four and secured a piece of silverware in the form of the Carabao Cup. A year later, however, that progress stalled on the pitch, with United's aforementioned FA Cup win papering over the cracks of a Premier League season that saw them finish as low as eighth.
Bid incoming: Man Utd eye midfield sensation who’s as good as Mainoo
Man Utd have already had a bid rejected for their target.
ByTom Lever Jun 9, 2024
As a result, Ten Hag's job is now reportedly at risk, despite his firm stance when asked about his Old Trafford future. The former Ajax manager said via BBC Sport: "Two trophies in two years is not bad. Three finals in two years is not bad. I'm not satisfied with it. We have to do better. If they don't want me, then I go somewhere else to win trophies because that is what I do."
Ultimately, the decision will be left in the hands of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and if recent reports are anything to go by, the Premier League could yet see the return of a familiar face next season.
According to reporter Christian Falk, Ratcliffe held a meeting with Thomas Tuchel in Monaco last Tuesday, in which the former Chelsea boss outlined his plan for the job and to get the likes of Mason Mount and Jadon Sancho back to their best.
As Ratcliffe's Ten Hag call nears, his meeting with Tuchel may yet have played a part in what remains a crucial decision for United ahead of next season.
Tuchel would be a risk
Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel
Whilst Tuchel didn't exactly enter Bayern Munich at the club's healthiest time in the boardroom, to finish third with a club who were on a run of 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles represents a clear failure on the German's part.
It's a drop-off that was coming, too, after Bayern escaped with the title in their grasp on the final day of the 2022/23 campaign thanks to Borussia Dortmund's calamitous slip-up. So Tuchel isn't a risk-free option for United, who can't afford to get this wrong yet again.
Of course, before Bayern, Tuchel's standout moment was guiding Chelsea to the Champions League final, when his side upset the odds to defeat Premier League rivals Manchester City. But since then, he has fallen victim to the Todd Boehly show at Stamford Bridge before struggling at Bayern. Now at a crossroads, both Tuchel and United have a decision to make.
Either way, as the transfer window approaches, Ratcliffe is running out of time to decide on Ten Hag's fate and United's potential next manager.
