Sophie Devine stars as Brave maintain perfect start

White Ferns allrounder too good for Northern Superchargers as Brave move top

ECB Media13-Aug-2025

Sophie Devine took 3 for 15 and then struck 15*•Alex Davidson/Getty Images

Southern Brave 103 for 2 (Wyatt-Hodge 43, Wolvaardt 33*) beat Northern Superchargers 102 (Armitage 36, Devine 3-15)A tight bowling performance led by Sophie Devine followed by a comfortable run chase with Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Laura Wolvaardt at the helm saw Southern Brave easily defeat North Superchargers by eight wickets at Southampton and make it three wins from three in The Hundred women’s competition.Electing to bat first, Superchargers started in a subdued fashion, scoring just four from the first 10 balls and losing Alice Davidson-Richards (2) and Phoebe Litchfield (5) on the way to posting 19-2 in the 25-ball powerplay.Davina Perrin (13) was run out by Tilly Corteen-Coleman going for an incredibly risky second as the visitors continued to labour against tight Brave bowling, reaching 43-3 at halfway.Mady Villiers took the big wicket of Annabel Sutherland (20), the Aussie well caught by Maia Bouchier at long-on, before Georgia Adams removed Superchargers wicketkeeper Bess Heath (3), brilliantly caught running backwards by her opposite number Rhianna Southby.Skipper Hollie Armitage (36 not out) stuck in and was joined by Lucy Higham (13) at 74 for 7, the pair rallying late in the innings, sharing a partnership of 27 before Higham was dismissed by Devine (3-15) as the Kiwi took two-in-two in the final set to see Supercharges 102 all out.In the chase, Grace Ballinger conceded just a wide from the opening set as Maia Bouchier started cautiously.A single by Wyatt-Hodge off Kate Cross to take the score to 5-0 saw the experienced right-hander become the second player to pass 1,000 runs in The Hundred after Nat Sciver-Brunt reached the milestone last week.Bouchier (5) was caught at mid-off off Cross, but Wyatt-Hodge put her foot on the gas, hitting Linsey Smith’s left-arm spin for three consecutive boundaries, combining with Wolvaardt to bring up the Brave’s 50.Wyatt-Hodge was stumped off Katherine Fraser for 43 with 20 runs still required, but Wolvaardt (33 not out) and Devine (15 not out) saw the Brave home with 17 balls to spare.Meerkat Match Hero Devine said: “The support we’ve had down here these last two games has been exceptional, so nice to have a couple of wins here and we’ve got a bit of travel to do now.”We were a little bit in two minds as well with the overhead conditions and a used wicket, the great thing about this competition is the wins at home and being able to play to your home conditions and I think we did that exceptionally well today.”Credit to everyone, I think we adapted really well with the ball and the way Danni and Wolvy went out there with the bat, they made it look like a different wicket.”

Celtic manager twist on Martin O'Neill after Desmond relationship revealed

There has been a twist regarding Martin O’Neill’s stay as Celtic interim manager involving his relationship with Dermot Desmond.

O'Neill guides Celtic into League Cup final with win over Rangers

The Hoops have enjoyed a resurgence following O’Neill’s return to Glasgow on a short term basis following Brendan Rodgers’ Parkhead departure.

Celtic won 4-0 in O’Neill’s first game back against Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership and then, days later, got the better of rivals Rangers in the Scottish League Cup.

Goals from Johnny Kenny, Callum McGregor and Callum Osmand saw the Hoops win 3-1 in extra time at Hampden Park, booking their spot in the final against St Mirren.

O’Neill’s attention now turns to a Europa League trip to take on FC Midtjylland before a home fixture against Kilmarnock prior to the international break.

Speaking to talkSPORT reporter Jim White, O’Neill admitted he had to return to London to retrieve his passport ahead of the trip to Denmark. The Hoops caretaker was also asked if shareholder Desmond had more of a ‘persuasive tone’ when they spoke about a longer stay in Glasgow, to which O’Neill said:

O'Neill now willing to stay on as Celtic manager

It has now been reported by 67 Hail Hail that O’Neill is in fact ‘willing to stay on as Celtic manager until the end of the season’.

Despite saying on multiple occasions that his role would be short term, the Irishman is open to remaining at Parkhead until 2026, and that is seen as a ‘genuine possibility’.

67 Hail Hail add that O’Neill’s relationship with Desmond ‘is believed to be a crucial part of this idea, with Celtic willing to take their time to find the long-term replacement’.

As long as results remain positive under O’Neill, then the Hoops will surely be open to the idea of taking their time to find a long-term replacement.

The 73-year-old has steadied the ship at Parkhead, and his next task is to take Celtic higher up the Europa League table. Another three points in the Scottish Premiership will keep the pressure on Hearts, and by the looks of it, there is a real chance we may see the 4-2-3-1 manager in the Celtic dugout until 2026.

Ausência de Pablo Maia prova que jogador é insubstituível no São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

A ausência de Pablo Maia no clássico do São Paulo contra o Palmeiras, que terminou na goleada por 5 a 0, mostrou um ponto importante para Dorival Júnior: a Cria de Cotia, mesmo com a pouca idade e pouco mais de um ano como profissional, é insubstituível no elenco.

Redação do Lance! opinaSão Paulo26/10/2023

Inclusive, isso foi uma das grandes pautas da coletiva de imprensa dada pelo treinador após o vexame na casa do rival. Segundo as palavras do próprio treinador, a dificuldade de substituir o volante no Tricolor é justamente por não existir nenhum nome que apresente características parecidas.

Contra o Palmeiras, a tentativa foi Gabriel Neves. O uruguaio, por sua vez, atuando como primeiro volante, em uma função que não mostrou adaptação, tendo em vista que sempre se desenvolveu melhor no Tricolor como segundo volante (em um posicionamento parecido com o que Alisson exerce).

O desempenho foi tão abaixo do esperado que chegou a ser substituído ainda no primeiro tempo, para a entrada de Rodrigo Nestor – um meia com características muito mais ofensivas.

Diferente do que Pablo Maia consegue mostrar, sabendo dominar as funções de marcação no meio de campo como primeiro volante e ter objetividade nos passes, o companheiro não conseguiu fornecer esta proteção na área, onde muitas das jogadas importantes do Palmeiras na goleada surgiram.

O impacto de Pablo Maia no elenco do São Paulo é tanto que Dorival Júnior revelou que, de todos os nomes disponíveis, é o mais difícil de ser substituído.

– Não tínhamos outro caminho. Quando a falta do Pablo Maia acontece, temos algumas dificuldades em relação à característica desse jogador que difere dos demais. Não são maus jogadores, espero que entendam, mas destoam das características. A estratégia depois é natural que não tenham sido positivas – explicou o treinador.

Assédio da Europa
Pablo Maia chama atenção pela pouca idade e pelo desempenho que mostra em campo desde seus primeiros momentos como profissional. Revelado em Cotia, começou a ser relacionado no elenco principal no começo do Campeonato Paulista de 2022, sob o comando de Rogério Ceni. Naquela edição, inclusive, chegou a receber um prêmio de ‘revelação do Paulistão’. Desde então, se tornou titular e chegou até mesmo a aparecer no radar de times da Europa nos últimos meses.

O volante chegou a ser muito bem visto por times da Inglaterra, principalmente na janela do meio do ano. Nomes como West Ham tiveram conversas com o jogador e o Tricolor.

Mas diferente do que acontecia no último ano, por exemplo, com nomes como Gabriel Sara, a postura do São Paulo quando se trata de joias agora é diferente. O Tricolor só negociaria por propostas muito boas, não precisando mais ‘vender por necessidade’.

Vale destacar que Pablo Maia teve seu contrato renovado em abril deste ano. O vínculo vai até dezembro de 2027.

أزمة الزمالك تتفاقم… شوبير يعلن تفاصيل صادمة عن إيقاف القيد و5 قضايا مالية معلّقة

سلّط الإعلامي أحمد شوبير، الضوء على تطورات جديدة تخص نادي الزمالك، بعد صدور قرار جديد بإيقاف القيد لثلاث فترات بسبب مستحقات مالية لم تُسدّد، موضحًا خلفيات القرار، والقضايا المتراكمة على القلعة البيضاء.

وقال شوبير في تصريحاته الإذاعية صباح اليوم الثلاثاء: “هناك قرار جديد بإيقاف قيد نادي الزمالك لمدة ثلاث فترات، ولتوضيح الأمر للجمهور، فالزمالك يعاني من أكثر من قرار يخص إيقاف القيد، وهذا القرار هو الأحدث بينها، ونحن منذ أيام وربما شهور نحذّر من القضايا المتراكمة على النادي، وهي قضايا ثقيلة وكان ينبغي الانتهاء منها مبكرًا، خاصة أنها ليست بمبالغ كبيرة، كما أن النادي أنهى بعض التسويات لكنه لم يستكمل إجراءاتها”.

وأضاف: “هذا الإيقاف الجديد جاء بسبب شكوى من كريستيان جروس، المدرب رحل عن الزمالك بعد أزمة، ورفع قضية ضد النادي، ثم جاء مجلس الإدارة الحالي وأعاده للعمل مجددًا ومنحه جزءًا من مستحقاته، قبل أن يغادر مرة أخرى، وكل ما يطالب به جروس هو 133 ألف دولار فقط، وليس أكثر، ومع ذلك صدر قرار بإيقاف قيد الزمالك بسبب هذا المبلغ”.

وتابع: “قد يقول البعض إن الزمالك سيتولى السداد، ولكن لماذا يُسمح أصلًا بصدور قرار ضد النادي؟ ولماذا يظهر النادي أمام الاتحاد الدولي بصورة سلبية؟ البعض يردد أن الإيقاف لن يُرفع حتى بعد الدفع، وهذا غير صحيح، لقد سألت الخبير في اللوائح عامر العمايرة، وأكد لي أن القيد يُفعّل فورًا بمجرد السداد”.

واستكمل: “الزمالك لديه خمس قضايا ترتب عليها إيقاف القيد، ثلاث منها تخص مساعدي المدرب جوزيه جوميز، وكل واحد منهم يستحق 20 ألف دولار، بإجمالي 60 ألف دولار، وهناك قضية أخرى بقيمة 1.2 مليون دولار، بالإضافة إلى قضية جروس بمبلغ 133 ألف دولار”.

وأردف شوبير: “هذه هي الغرامات المطلوبة لرفع إيقاف القيد، بمجرد السداد يُرفع القرار، ولكن السؤال: هل يُعقل أن مبلغ 313 ألف دولار لا يستطيع محبو الزمالك أو أعضاء مجلس الإدارة تدبيره؟ وأشير هنا إلى معلومة مهمة: الكابتن حسين السيد سبق أن دفع مبالغ كبيرة بالدولار من ماله الخاص”.

واستطرد: “هناك أشخاص يدخلون النادي ويجلسون في الملعب ويعقدون مؤتمرات صحفية.. فما صفتهم؟ حتى عضو مجلس الإدارة لا يمكنه القيام بذلك من دون قرار رسمي من المجلس، القضية ببساطة هي 313 ألف دولار فقط، فأين الحل؟ ولماذا لا يتم إبلاغ الجماهير بالحقائق؟ وما زالت هناك مبالغ أخرى مثل مستحقات شيكابالا وفرجاني ساسي، وهذه قد تصل إلى قرابة مليون ونصف المليون دولار، فما ذنب جماهير الزمالك أن تعيش في هذه الأزمات المتكررة؟”.

وأشار شوبير إلى جانب آخر من الأزمة قائلًا: “عندما عدت إلى القاهرة قبل يومين، سألني أحد الأشخاص عن موضوع أرض أكتوبر، فقلت له: يجب أن تفهم القصة أولًا، لأن أزمة الزمالك بكل تفاصيلها تُختزل الآن في أرض أكتوبر! لكن أين فريق الكرة؟ أين الاستعدادات؟ أين النتائج؟ أين ألعاب الصالات؟ هناك الكثير من الملفات، ولا ينبغي اختزال كل شيء في موضوع أرض أكتوبر، فهذا موضوع إداري يُتابَع مع الدولة والمحاكم، أما الجمهور فليس له علاقة بهذه التفاصيل”.

واختتم: “الكابتن حسين السيد أدلى بتصريحات صحفية، أكد فيها أن الفيفا أبلغ الزمالك رسميًا بقرار إيقاف القيد، وأن النادي يعمل على حل الأزمة. كما أوضح أن إيقاف القيد سيستمر حتى سداد مستحقات جوميز وجهازه وجروس، وأن الإدارة تسعى لإنهاء الأزمة قبل شهر يناير، بإذن الله”.

Kuldeep, Axar and Abhishek lead India to thumping win

India dominated from start to finish to extend their dominance over Pakistan to 11-3 in T20Is

Sidharth Monga14-Sep-20251:13

Wahab: Kuldeep always one step ahead of batters

India extended their dominance over Pakistan to 11-3 in T20Is with a comfortable seven-wicket win in the first of three possible meetings at the Asia Cup. It was one-way traffic right from the time Hardik Pandya removed Saim Ayub with the first legal ball of the match.India’s superior bowling attack proved to be too much for Pakistan, who were frequently forced to play low-percentage shots to be able to score at a respectable pace. Still, 63 balls went unscored off, the scoring rate went past a run a ball only in the last over of the innings, and 128 was hardly a target for a power-packed India line-up.Related

Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets, Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel two each, and Hardik and Varun Chakravarthy one apiece in a performance with no let-up.Hardik, Bumrah strike, but Farhan fightsTaking the new ball ahead of Bumrah, Hardik started with a loose delivery, but Ayub hit him straight to Bumrah at backward point. In the next over, Mohammad Haris tried to impose himself on Bumrah, and managed only to hole out to Hardik at long leg.Sahibzada Farhan, though, went on to do something no Pakistani had ever done: hit a six off Bumrah in an international match. He then hit another in the final over of the powerplay, making him only the sixth batter to have hit more than one six off Bumrah in all T20Is.However, 42 for 2 was still only a strictly fighting score for a powerplay. It was to be Pakistan’s last bit of joy in a long time.India’s spin strangleThe trio of Varun, Kuldeep and Axar immediately shut out all the scoring after the powerplay. It took Pakistan 31 balls to hit their first boundary after the powerplay. In the intervening period they scored just 12 runs for the loss of two wickets. Both were shots borne out of desperation, resulting in the wickets of Fakhar Zaman and Salman Agha.2:20

How big is the gulf between India and Pakistan?

These two wickets came off slogs, but Kuldeep now began to go past defensive shots as well, his wrong’un to consign Mohammad Nawaz to a golden duck leaving him on a hat-trick.Pakistan’s struggles were summed up by their best-looking batter, Farhan, going into the death overs on 40 off 43, and getting out off the first ball of that phase. Shaheen Shah Afridi snatched that honour away from Farhan immediately with some clean striking for a personal T20I best of 33 not out off 16 to give Pakistan some hope.Abhishek, Gill end Pakistan’s hopesThat small ray of hope was snuffed out immediately by Abhishek Sharma, who charged at Afridi first ball and hit it back over his head for four. He then hit the second for a six over long-off. Shubman Gill then hit successive boundaries off Ayub. Even though Ayub got his own back with the wickets of both openers, India had raced away to 41 for 2 in 3.4 overs.India themselves struggled to score freely once their second-best powerplay against Pakistan ended, but the quality difference between the sides was still palpable. Pakistan’s bowling didn’t ask as many questions as India’s did, and India’s batting was able to keep finding runs.The seven overs immediately after the powerplay produced just 39 runs and Tilak Varma’s wicket, but India were still comfortably placed. All it took was a small final push from Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube to seal the win with 4.1 overs to spare.

EFL expert "pretty surprised" by latest Southampton manager update

An EFL expert has been left “pretty surprised” at a Southampton manager claim he has heard from St Mary’s.

Southampton manager latest on Tonda Eckert

After parting ways with Will Still at the beginning of November, Sport Republic have been on the hunt for a new permanent Saints boss.

However, no manager has arrived in the two weeks since Still’s sacking, with interim boss Tonda Eckert recording successive Championship wins over QPR and Sheffield Wednesday.

Eckert has already come in for praise from Southampton star Finn Azaz, and as time has gone on, there has been more speculation over the 32-year-old landing the job on a full-time basis.

There have been claims that Eckert is set to be given the Southampton job permanently, whereas reports elsewhere have claimed he will get the next three Championship fixtures to increase his chances of landing the role.

Meanwhile, Southampton fan pundit Ray Hunt stated that supporters “want to see an experienced manager” come in.

“Sport Republic have appointed five permanent mangers in their three full seasons in charge. During that period, they have overseen two relegations from the Premier League, and one promotion with their only success, Russell Martin, but failed to give him the tools needed to succeed in the top flight.

“Moving forward, fans will want to see an experienced manager, who’s widely respected with a clear structure. We cannot repeat mistakes from the past. It is a huge task they simply have to get right. Take your time, give Tonda time in that interim, but ultimately make the right decision. The fans won’t tolerate another failure.”

Sport Republic appointing Eckert on a full-time basis would get pundits and fans talking, and it has already done just that.

Expert reacts to Southampton claim on appointing Eckert

Reacting to reports of Southampton looking set to give Eckert the permanent job, EFL expert George Elek admitted to the Not The Top 20 Podcast that he would be “pretty surprised” if that materialises.

Eckert, who plays a 3-4-2-1 system, is on course to be in the dugout at The Valley unless something drastic happens, and he’s already surpassed Still in winning back-to-back second tier games.

Everton line up January move for England international who Alan Shearer called "world class"

Everton are in the race to sign James Ward-Prowse from West Ham in January, with the midfielder “almost certain” to leave the London Stadium in the new year.

Ward-Prowse has enjoyed an impressive career, spending many years at Southampton and being renowned for being one of the best set-piece specialists in Premier League history.

Ward-Prowse has struggled to be a regular for West Ham this season however, and with his current deal expiring in the summer of 2027, the Hammers are set to listen to offers for him in January.

“There’s no way he’s getting back into the plans at West Ham. Nuno just doesn’t want him in the team; he is not open to the idea of this turning around,” reported Dean Jones earlier this month, claiming a move is “almost certain”.

“I don’t see any possibility that West Ham try to stop him from leaving. I think they will treat him with respect and allow him the chance to move.”

Everton are the team most strongly linked with the 11-cap England international, and now a new update has emerged regarding a possible move for the 31-year-old.

Everton ready to offer Ward-Prowse exit route

Speaking to Football Insider, former scout Mick Brown talked up Everton’s interest in Ward-Prowse due to his connection with David Moyes, confirming the Blues are “willing” to offer him a fresh start.

At 31, Ward-Prowse is now in the autumn of his career, so Everton wouldn’t be signing him as a long-term prospect with lots of sell-on value.

That said, he could be a shrewd signing in terms of his experience and enduring quality, not necessarily being a key starter but adding depth to the Blues’ squad at a relatively low cost given his contract situation.

ByTom Cunningham Nov 21, 2025

The fact that Moyes knows him well can only be a positive – he wouldn’t want him if he didn’t value him as a player and a character – so the positives outweigh the negatives.
