15th issue of our exciting, informative & concise (300 word) newsletter on Indian sports is here.

Snooker

Pankaj Advani is into yet another World Championship Finals, he defeated Lukas Kleckers of Germany 7-5 in semis in Egypt. India missed out on another final on the women’s side- Amee Kamani lost in the semis.

Cricket

Star of the day: India U-19 quick Avesh Khan, bowled a fiery opening spell of 4/4 to help India U-19 defend a paltry 158. His 6-3-4-4 are the best-ever on economy in U-19 ODIs. Bangladesh only managed to score 76 in response in the 1st match of the tri-series. This was also the first match for the team with new coach Rahul Dravid.

Did you know? Tejaswi Yadav, the new Bihar Deputy CM, was a former first-class cricketer for Jharkhand; also a member of the Delhi Daredevils, but never played. Looks like politics and cricket are not so different, after all!

#LetsFootball

Kamara starred for North East United- scoring one and orchestrating another to lift NEUFC to 4th place, with 16 points! FT score NEU 2-0 MUM. Mumbai continue to remain at 6th with 12 points.

Stat of the day: Yesterday’s loss was Mumbai’s 13th consecutive away game loss. Given that 2 of their 3 remaining matches are away, Mumbai making it to the Top-4 looks extremely unlikely.
