Delhi Capitals defeated Rajasthan Royals in a thriller which necessitated a Super Over after the scores were tied after the regulated 40 overs. Earlier, Nitish Rana and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored half centuries but it wasn’t enough for Rajasthan Royals to overhaul Delhi Capitals target, The Indian Express reported.

Abishek Porel missed his half century by a run while captain Axar Patel starred with a blistering 14-ball 34 runs as Delhi Capitalsposted 188/5 against the Rajasthan Royals. KL Rahul scored 38 while Jofra Archer took 2 wickets.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl first against the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Both teams will go into the match with the same teams as last match. DC are sitting pretty on second spot having lost just one game from five in the Indian Premier League 2025. In sharp contrast are Rajasthan Royals, who are in 8th spot in the IPL 2025 standings with just two win from six games, according to the Indian Express.

Newcastle United thumped Crystal Palace 5-0 at St James' Park to go third in the Premier League with a sixth consecutive win in all competitions as Jacob Murphy scored one goal and set up another, Reuters reported.

Newcastle have 59 points from 32 games and are five points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea in the race for Champions League qualification next season with the top five teams earning a place. Palace have 43 points and are 12th.

Harvey Barnes, Fabian Schar and Alexander Isak also scored for Newcastle, as the visitors were compounded by an own goal from defender Marc Guehi and a missed penalty by Eberechi Eze when they trailed 1-0.

Newcastle were again without manager Eddie Howe in the dugout as he continues to recover from pneumonia, but the performance would have been just the tonic as they scored some excellent goals and were ruthless in punishing Palace errors.

It was the first time Palace have failed to score in 13 Premier League fixtures, though remarkably their expected goals tally of 2.02 was better than that of Newcastle (1.39), according to Reuters.

Newcastle played with tenacity, pace and efficiency in the final third as they opened the scoring on 14 minutes through Murphy's thunderous shot from a tight angle that beat goalkeeper Dean Henderson high at his near post.

Inter Milan reached the Champions League semifinals with a 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern Munich after an enthralling 2-2 draw in the second leg of their quarterfinal tie at the San Siro on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

The Italians will face Barcelona next, who they defeated at the semifinal stage in 2010 before going on to beat Bayern in the final to complete the treble, and Simone Inzaghi's side are still on course to repeat that feat this season.

It was a far from comfortable evening for Inter, but they did just enough in a pulsating clash between the top teams from Serie A and the Bundesliga.

Bayern, who lost the first leg 2-1 , were the more aggressive side from the off, with Yann Sommer saving a shot on the turn from Thomas Mueller early on.

A mistake by Nicolo Barella allowed Mueller to steal possession and play a pass into Michael Olise but Alessandro Bastoni nicked the ball off his toe before he could get a shot away, according to Reuters.

Inter came close with a Hakan Calhanoglu curled shot from distance but then needed some desperate defending after Konrad Laimer's pullback from the byline.

Arsenal snuffed out any chance of a famous Real Madrid comeback to reach the Champions League semi-finals after a 2-1 victory in the Bernabeu Stadium completed a 5-1 aggregate win on Wednesday.

Holders and 15-times winners Real never looked like clawing back a 3-0 deficit from last week's quarter-final first leg and when Bukayo Saka scored for the visitors in the 65th minute their fate was effectively sealed.

Vinicius Junior seized on a rare defensive slip a couple of minutes later to rouse the home crowd, but it proved too little too late as Carlo Ancelotti's side exited in feeble fashion.

Arsenal's superiority over the two legs was underlined in stoppage time as Gabriel Martinelli burst through to score.

They will face Paris St Germain in their first Champions League semi-final since 2009.

"I think it's such a special night for this club, it's a historic night for this club," said Arsenal's Declan Rice, whose two sublime free kicks last week put his side in control.

Scientists have found new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life, BBC reported.

A Cambridge team studying the atmosphere of a planet called K2-18b has detected signs of molecules which on Earth are only produced by simple organisms.

This is the second, and more promising, time chemicals associated with life have been detected in the planet's atmosphere by Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

But the team and independent astronomers stress that more data is needed to confirm these results.

The lead researcher, Prof Nikku Madhusudhan, told me at his lab at Cambridge University's Institute of Astronomy that he hopes to obtain the clinching evidence soon, according to BBC.

"This is the strongest evidence yet there is possibly life out there. I can realistically say that we can confirm this signal within one to two years."
