Sri Lanka snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to record their first win of the Women’s Cricket World Cup, edging out Bangladesh by seven runs in a nerve jangling finish in Navi Mumbai on Monday.

With Bangladesh cruising and only nine needed off the final over with five wickets in hand, having mustered just three runs off the penultimate over, skipper Chamari Athapaththu took the ball herself and turned the game on its head.

Four wickets tumbled in four balls as Bangladesh collapsed, losing five wickets for just two runs.

Athapaththu, calm amid the storm, finished with career-best figures of 4-42.

The drama began with Rabeya Khan trapped leg-before off the first ball, followed by a run-out next delivery.

Then, Bangladesh’s hopes sank when their captain Nigar Sultana danced down the track only to find long-off lurking.

When Marufa Akter was adjudged lbw next ball, Athapaththu had conjured the unthinkable, defending nine with a single run conceded in the over.

“We handled the pressure well. We knew that if we took the game deep, teams could crumble,” Athapaththu said. “It wasn’t perfect, batting collapses and dropped catches hurt us, but luck smiled at us today.”

For once, fortune favoured Sri Lanka, whose campaign had been marred by rain, missed chances and misfiring batters.

Hasini Perera, who struck her maiden ODI half-century, made 85 off 99 balls, peppered with 13 fours and a six.

She was the backbone of Sri Lanka’s 202 all out as she reached the milestone of 1,000 runs in ODIs.

A 74-run partnership with Nilakshika de Silva gave Sri Lanka a solid launch pad, before another collapse saw six wickets fall for 28 run.

Even so, the Sri Lankans held their nerve in the death overs to seal the win and climb to sixth in the standings.

With four points, they are level with New Zealand and India, although will need results to go in their favour to grab the last semi-final spot.

Australia, South Africa and England have already booked their places in the last four.

“We kept losing wickets at crucial times,” admitted Bangladesh skipper Sultana, whose fighting 77 was in vain as her side were eliminated.

“I tried to take the pressure off with a boundary, but it just didn’t come off.”

The San Jose Sharks apologized on Saturday after a pro-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appeared on the video board of the SAP Center as the organization celebrated Hispanic Heritage Night.

The message read: “SJ Sharks Fans LOVE ICE !! Get’em Boyz !”

The franchise posted a statement on X as the Pittsburgh Penguins wrapped up a 3-0 victory against the Sharks.

“During the first intermission of tonight’s game, an offensively worded message which had been externally submitted was inadvertently displayed on the in-arena scoreboard,” the team said. “Sharks Sports & Entertainment deeply regrets that this message, which does not meet our organization’s values, was not detected during our standard review process. 

“The Sharks organization sincerely apologizes for this oversight, and we are actively working to determine the origin of the message.”

ICE enforcement in California has been a major topic of conversation over the last few months. In Los Angeles County, the board of supervisors voted to declare a local state of emergency in response to the agency’s operations in the region.

County officials claimed the raids have “created a climate of fear, leading to widespread disruption in daily life and adverse impacts to our regional economy,” including decreased workplace attendance, temporary or permanent business closures, and increased strain on schools, hospitals, and places of worship.

San Jose councilmembers also approved a policy to force ICE agents to unmask during enforcement operations. The council passed the new mandate unanimously.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s victory over the New York Jets and is expected to miss this week’s game against the Buffalo Bills, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The nature of Young’s injury was confirmed by an MRI conducted Monday.

Young twisted his right ankle while taking a sack late in the third quarter of Sunday’s 13-6 victory. He went to the locker room with athletic trainers and did not return.

Veteran Andy Dalton finished the game and is expected to start in this Sunday’s home game against the Bills. Dalton finished Sunday with 4-of-7 passing for 60 yards but didn’t lead a scoring drive in the defensive struggle.

Young was 15-of-25 for 138 yards and a touchdown when he sustained the injury trying to escape pressure on a third-down play. He led Carolina to all 13 of its points as the team won its third straight game, the first time that has happened since the start of the 2021 season.

The Panthers improved to 4-3 overall, going above .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2019.

Young’s command of the offense has been key during the winning streak as he has thrown six touchdown passes to two interceptions, one of those a pass that went off the hands of wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.

His ball security has been a drastic turnaround from the first four games, when he had five touchdown passes to three interceptions with a pair of lost fumbles.

The news on the nature of Young’s injury was first reported by NFL Network.
