Bangladesh was whitewashed by Sri Lanka for the sixth time 2024-04-03 20:58:13
Bangladesh sank to the shame of a whitewash for the sixth time against Sri Lanka. The Lankans won the series for the 12th time by beating Bangladesh by a huge margin of 192 runs in the Chittagong Test.
Bangladesh was last whitewashed by Sri Lanka in 2009. At that time the Lankans won both matches of the two-match series. After 15 years, Bangladesh had to be beaten again by those Lankans.
Bangladesh has played 13 bilateral series against Sri Lanka so far. Tigers have managed to draw only one series out of this. The Lankans have won all the rest of the series.
Chasing the huge target of 511 runs set by Sri Lanka in the last Test of the two-match series in Chittagong, Bangladesh were bowled out for 318 runs.
Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Taijul Islam started the fifth day’s play with 268 runs for 7 wickets chasing the target. Mirage scored the fifth fifty of his Test career after batting. Taijul was dismissed for 14 runs after the right-handed batsman scored his fifty.
Then Hasan Mahmud went back to Sajghar after scoring 6 runs off 25 balls. Khaled Ahmed’s innings ended with 2 runs as the last batsman.
Leverkusen and Kaiserslautern are in the DFB Cup final in Berlin
Daniel Thioune had thought quite carefully before what was probably his biggest game as coach of Fortuna Düsseldorf. Using probability calculations, he determined that the usual underdog calculation in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup was invalid given Leverkusen’s football superiority. The idea that “as a second division team you lose nine out of ten games” is inappropriate in this case, he announced.
At the moment it’s more like this: “We would probably lose 99 of 100 games.” But that didn’t stop him from dreaming of winning the cup: “At some point I became a professional footballer, and the chance of that was even smaller.” , was his thought. In order to achieve the seemingly impossible once again, he came up with a courageous – in retrospect one could even say: daring – strategy. Because after just 20 minutes he was standing on the sidelines and had to realize that his plan had failed miserably.
His team had just been countered following a naive pressing activity, and Nadiem Amiri had made it 2-0 early. Only fantasists now believed in fortune. Jeremie Frimpong scored the first goal after just six minutes, and in the end the confident Bundesliga leaders easily won 4-0 against the promotion hopefuls from the neighboring city.
Is this a joke?: Mathieu van der Poel is not a fan of the much-discussed chicane for Bos van Wallers during Paris-Roubaix

The Paris-Roubaix organization has confirmed that the run-up to the Forest of Wallers will be slightly adjusted. A chicane just before entering the infamous cobblestone section should make the passage safer. But Mathieu Van der Poel has his questions.
“Is this a joke?” writes the brand new winner of the Tour of Flanders on X. Images of the adjustment for Trouée d’Arenberg show how the riders are first sent into a chicane before entering the Wallers Forest.

How are the title contenders three months before the tournament? 2024-03-28 01:44:38
With just under three months to go until German Euro Cup (from June 14 to July 14) and after the international friendlies played in March, the last before the final calls, at what point are the European powers contending for the continental title?
SPAIN
As usual in recent years, Spain has once again shown two faces, although the matches against Colombia (1-0 defeat) and Brazil (3-3) must have confirmed coach Luis de la Fuente in his commitment to the type of game of the Red.
Against the Seleçao, the youngsters Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams showed that they should be the wingers that they carry the danger on the wings, supported by the mobility and effectiveness of Dani Olmo in the midfield, without forgetting Rodri as the cornerstone on which the entire system is based.
The doubts offered by the champion of the last Nations League are fundamentally two. The first is whether young people like Yamal (16 years old), Pau Cubarsí (17) or Williams (21) will be able to assume a leadership role in the team; The second refers to the center forward position.
Captain Álvaro Morata does not look like the effective player of the first part of the season and the players called to substitute,
