Hansi Flick hails Bayern Munich's 'enormous quality' after club clinches 8th successive Bundesliga title

The UEFA Champions League (UCL) Round of 16 (first-leg) delivered dramatic results as FC Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid registered emphatic victories, while Liverpool FC suffered a shock defeat and FC Barcelona were held to a draw in their respective first-leg encounters.

Abhishek's the world's number one batter has failed to score runs in his free-flowing way during the T20 World Cup, with health issues due to food poisoning and the weight of three successive ducks to start off the tournament seemingly eating into his batting rhythm and confidence. During the semifinal clash against England at Wankhede Stadium, an aerial flick against off-spinner Will Jacks ended his stay at the crease for just nine in seven runs, making it just 89 runs in seven innings this World Cup with just a half-century to his name.

Abhishek looked promising in the start, getting two boundaries against Will Jacks. The spinner and England's star performer in this tournament had the last laugh as Abhishek attempted a flick, which came from the bottom of his bat and landed into hands of Phil Salt, who came running from deep midwicket, removing him for just nine runs in seven balls.

Shrugging off the pressure, India earned a penalty corner in the 14th minute, but Amit Rohidas's drag-flick was denied by Spanish goalkeeper Luis Calzado, keeping the first quarter goalless.

Harry Kane was the hero for Bayern as, after a goalless first half, he produced two magic strikes, the second being a brilliant penalty conversion, to hand his side important points to climb to number two, with six wins and a loss in seven games, with 18 points. They are just three short of table-toppers Arsenal, who are enjoying an unbeaten run with seven wins in seven games.
