Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 110 runs in Delhi

Sunrisers Hyderabad has beaten Kolkata Knight Riders by 110 runs. Chasing a mammoth total of 278, Kolkata Knight Riders were bundled out for 168 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday. Harsh Dubey was the pick of the bowlers for SRH with three wickets, The Indian Express reported.

Earlier, skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first. Heinrich Klaasen has scored a blistering ton to help SRH post 278/3. The innings came after the foundation laid by Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.

Both sides are already out of the playoff race even before today’s game. Hence, the result of this game is inconsequential in terms of the playoffs, according to The Indian Express.

Liverpool end victorious season with 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace

Liverpool signed off their Premier League title-winning season on Sunday with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, as Mohamed Salah's late equaliser cancelled out Ismaila Sarr's opener at a jubilant Anfield, Reuters reported.

With the league wrapped up with four games to spare, Sunday's match was played in a celebratory atmosphere and Palace fans – still on a high from last weekend's FA Cup final triumph – joined in with an early chant of "champions".

"It's always special to win something, but at certain clubs maybe a little bit more," Liverpool boss Arne Slot said.

"I experienced this at Feyenoord where the fans are so passionate, and it's the same and more over here."

Sarr slotted home in the ninth minute after he was found in acres of space by Tyrick Mitchell, who had intercepted a loose pass from Conor Bradley, but conceding barely made a dent in the party, according to Reuters.

Lewandowski brace ensures victorious end to Barcelona's season in Bilbao

A rapid pair of goals by Robert Lewandowski early in the first half and a penalty by Dani Olmo deep in added time ensured a comfortable 3-0 victory for Barcelona over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, ending the season on a high note for the LaLiga champions, Reuters reported.

With the title clinched more than a week ago, Sunday's match at San Mames stadium had little at stake for either side.

Barcelona ended their LaLiga campaign at the summit with 88 points, four ahead of Real Madrid, with Atletico Madrid third on 76 points. Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal round out the top five, ensuring their places in next season's Champions League.

They are followed by Real Betis and Celta Vigo who will represent Spain in the Europa League while eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano booked a spot in the Conference League, according to Reuters.

Sameer Rizvi stars with maiden IPL half century as Delhi Capitals defeat Punjab Kings by 6 wickets

The Top 2 race is still wide open as Delhi capitals signed off their IPL campaign with a win against heavy favourites Punjab Kings on Saturday, Indian Express reported.

Sameer Rizvi starred with his maiden IPL half century while Karun Nair chipped in with an important 44 to help their team over the finishing line.

 

Shreyas Iyer scored a half century while Marcus Stoinis chipped in with a blistering 16-ball 44 as Punjab Kings posted 208/6 against Delhi Capitals.

While Punjab kept losing regular wickets, their run rate never dipped even as Mustafizur Rahman and Kuldeep Yadav took 3 and 2 wickets each.

Vipraj Nigam also took 2 but the punjab batters went after Mohit Sharma and Mukesh Kumar to score the massive total, according to Indian Express.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bat first against the Punjab Kings. Axar Patel will not be available for DC so Faf du Plessis will lead the side.

With Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluruboth dropping points against Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings are in pole position to finish in the Top 2 considering they don’t slip up against Delhi Capitals at Jaipur on Saturday.
