Guardiola tests positive for COVID-19, to miss Man City's FA Cup clash against Swindon

United States will co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico. The tournament will feature 104 matches, beginning at Mexico City Stadium on June 11 and culminating at New York New Jersey Stadium with the final on 19 July.

Some notable players attracted relatively modest bids. India all-rounder Deepti Sharma was picked by Sunrisers Leeds at her base price of £27,500 after receiving a single bid. Meanwhile, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh was bought by Manchester Super Giants for £50,000.

Several European heavyweights delivered commanding performances as the Round of 16 first-leg matches of the UEFA Champions League produced high-scoring contests and dramatic finishes across Europe this week.

In their last fixture, Punjab FC secured a comfortable 2-0 victory against Bengaluru FC, while NorthEast United held Mumbai City FC to a 1-1 draw in their last fixture in Mumbai, as per a press release.

Going into the final, India are chasing a few firsts - first to defend a T20 World Cup title, first host team to win the T20 World Cup and the first to three T20 World Cup championships. For New Zealand, the biggest challenges will be how to keep the star-studded Indian batting line-up relatively quiet and how to deal with Jasprit Bumrah's unerring line and length.
