NBA: Kyrie Irving leads Boston Celtics to 16th straight win

"I am delighted to be coming back to play Norway Chess. And what a pleasure to be visiting in brilliant sunshine! Toasting to a fun and challenging event! Skal!". With that cheerful message, Wesley So confirms his return to Norway Chess 2026, where he will compete for the sixth time, as per a press release.

Devine's crucial 25 runs, coupled with a tight spell of 2/23 in four overs, which included massive wickets of Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt played a massive role in GG's 11-run win over defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI), which sealed her team's spot in the playoffs. Besides her useful 237 runs in eight innings at an average of 33.85 and a strike rate of 152.90 with two fifties, Devine is enjoying a season of a lifetime with the ball, currently holding the Purple Cap with 17 wickets at an average of 13.94, including best figures of 4/37.

After becoming the first player to score a WPL hundred, Sciver-Brunt revealed the emotional motivation behind her performance. "I want to dedicate this to Katherine and Theodore. They have come over to India to support me. That was at the back of my mind and I am very thankful to that," she said in an interview with WPL after the match.

The high-octane clash between 2024 champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and defending champions MI, desperately searching for a win, saw Sciver-Brunt unleash her most lethal when it needed the most, scoring an unbeaten 100* in 57 balls, with 16 fours and a six.

It was Nat, the top run-getter in the tournament's history, who got to raise her bat for the first-ever WPL century in just 57 balls, and after an early wicket, it was her brutal hitting with Hayley which powered MI to a competitive total. MI needs this win to stay alive in playoffs race, and another win for RCB would ease their direct entry into the finals.
