IPL 2024 playoffs: KKR take on SRH in Qualifier 1, RCB-RR clash in Eliminator

Here come the IPL 2024 playoffs. It took a thriller on Saturday to decide which of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) or Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would complete the playoffs line-up, and till the very last league game – a washout in Guwahati last night – to know who would play whom exactly, but now we know. And it’s a completely different playoff line-up from last season, with none of 2023’s top four making the cut here.

Qualifier 1: KKR vs SRH, May 21, Ahmedabad

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) come into the first qualifier as table-toppers, the first time they’ve finished the league phase at No. 1. They finished three points clear of anyone else on the table, despite having their last two games washed out. Will they be refreshed, or rusty? If SRH are any example to go by, a break from the cricket is a good thing: they came in after a 10-day break – partly down to the schedule and partly down to the weather – and aced a chase of 215 on Sunday against Punjab Kings. This was only the second time in IPL 2024 that SRH won a game chasing.Related

Previous meeting: They’ve played each other only once this season, both team’s first game of IPL 2024. It was a high-scoring thriller that ended in a last-ball four-run win for KKR at Eden Gardens.Player availability: The England players who will be going to the upcoming T20 World Cup have withdrawn early from the IPL, and among them is one of KKR’s lynchpins this season: Sunil Narine’s big-hitting opening partner, Phil Salt.Weather forecast: “Very hot with plenty of sunshine” – that’s the forecast for Ahmedabad on May 21, and the heat will hardly relent as the lights come on for the evening match: it’s a minimum of 31C on the day. The forecast says there’s a 0% chance of rain.

Eliminator: RR vs RCB, May 22, Ahmedabad

On April 22, RR were top of the table, flying high, having won seven of their first eight games. At the other end of the table, RCB were languishing, having lost as many as RR had won, six of those defeats coming in a row. Fast forward to May 20, and the turnaround is stunning: RR have since won one in six and lost four in a row before Sunday’s washout. RCB have won six in a row, and thus go into this knockout encounter with all the momentum on their side.Previous meeting: They’ve played each other once this year, a convincing win for RR in Jaipur, where Virat Kohli hit a century only to be outdone by Jos Buttler.Player availability: This time, RR will be without Buttler, who’s part of the English T20 World Cup contingent that’s left the tournament. RCB will be without Will Jacks and Reece Topley for the same reasons.Weather forecast: The forecast doesn’t change much from Qualifier 1. Ahmedabad should remain hot and dry for the Eliminator.After a blazing start to IPL 2024, things have gone downhill for Sanju Samson and Co•BCCI

Qualifier 2: Loser of Qualifier 1 vs Winner of the Eliminator, May 24, Chennai

Weather forecast: Some clouds are forecast during the day, but only a 5% chance of rain. A low of 29C, so another hot, sweaty evening in store for the players.

Final: Winner of Qualifier 1 vs Winner of Qualifier 2, May 26, Chennai

Or RR could win their first title since the inaugural season when Shane Warne’s relatively unfancied team saw off MS Dhoni’s Super Kings in the final.For KKR it would be a first title since 2014, and their third overall. Quite the homecoming for Gautam Gambhir, that would be – he had captained KKR to both their previous titles, and played for them till 2017. This season, he shifted from Lucknow Super Giants back to KKR as team mentor.SRH’s only title (not to confuse them with the other franchise from Hyderabad, Deccan Chargers, who won it in 2009) came in 2016 – can they add to that?Weather forecast: Not much change from Qualifier 2, but slightly hotter even (min. 30 C) and even less chance of rain (4%).

Palmeiras busca manter marca de 50 anos em duelo com o Botafogo-SP

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras é, mais uma vez, o grande favorito a conquistar o Paulistão. No entanto, na primeira rodada, acabou decepcionando a todos com um empate em 0 a 0 no Allianz Parque, diante do São Bento. Nesta quinta-feira, às 21h30, contra o Botafogo-SP, o Verdão busca manter uma marca que não é quebrada desde 1974: sempre anotar pelo menos um gol nos dois primeiros jogos do ano.

A reportagem procurou levantar a última vez em que o Alviverde havia ficado as duas primeiras partidas oficiais de um ano sem balançar a rede. E foi difícil. Há 49 anos que o ataque palmeirense não passa em branco em um início de jornada. E olha que os duelos em questão eram válidos pela temporada de 1973, referentes ao Brasileirão vencido justamente pelo Verdão.

Foram, ao todo, três jogos seguidos com o placar de 0 a 0 naquele início de ano: contra o Coritiba, contra o Bahia e contra o Internacional. Algo incomum para um time que tinha o histórico ataque com Edu, Leivinha, César e Nei. Nada, porém, que comprometesse a campanha irretocável, que culminou no bicampeonato brasileiro consecutivo, o sexto título do clube na história da competição.

A falta de gols também é incomum para o time atual do Palmeiras, que se cansou de fazê-los nos jogos-treino de pré-temporada (16 em cinco partidas) e que foi o melhor ataque do Brasil na temporada 2022, marcando 139 gols em 72 jogos (média de 1,93 gol por jogo). Além disso, são oito anos consecutivos anotando 100 gols ou mais, marca que nenhum outro no país teve no período.

Depois do 0 a 0 contra o São Bento, alguns jogadores do Verdão concederam entrevistas, seja na saída de campo, na zona mista ou para o site oficial do clube. Todos eles foram unânimes em dizer que faltou o gol e seria preciso encontrar soluções para que ele não faltasse novamente contra o Botafogo-SP. A marca de quase 50 anos pode ajudar na motivação dos atletas nessa missão.

Liverpool making 'a great move' by signing Parma teenager Giovanni Leoni but leave ex-AC Milan boss 'immensely happy and a little bit angry'

Legendary former head coach Arrigo Sacchi revealed his thoughts on Giovanni Leoni's move to Liverpool and questioned why no Serie A side made a move.

Liverpool set to complete Leoni transfer from ParmaSacchi believes the Reds have struck gold with the teenagerEx-manager questions why bigger Serie A sides didn't make a moveFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Legendary former AC Milan head coach Sacchi provided his two cents on Leoni's imminent move to Liverpool, claiming that while the Reds are making "a great move", he was left a "little bit angry" that no big Serie A outfit competed for the Parma sensation's signing.

AdvertisementGetty ImagesTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Liverpool have begun planning for the future, well-aware that Virgil van Dijk, now aged 34, will only decline from here on. What's more, there's immense uncertainty over Ibrahima Konate's future, too, with the Frenchman on Real Madrid's radar, having entered the final year of his contract at Anfield. The Premier League champions are eyeing a double defensive swoop with Leoni and Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi. They are reportedly inching closer to reaching an agreement with Parma for Leoni, who are demanding €30 million (£26m/$35m) plus bonuses for the 18-year-old centre-back. 

WHAT ARRIGO SACCHI SAID

Sacchi provided his thoughts in a column for The Italian admitted that Premier League sides have more spending power, but still questioned the likes of Napoli, Juventus, Inter, and AC Milan for struggling to pay the fee Parma have demanded for Leoni. 

"Liverpool are reaching out for Giovanni Leoni; on the one hand, the news makes me immensely happy, but on the other, it makes me a little angry," Sacchi wrote. "Let me explain: I'm happy that an Italian player is receiving praise from a major club like Liverpool, but I'd like it to be AC Milan or Inter, Juve or Napoli competing for his transfer, and not a foreign club.

"I'm told: Italian teams don't have the same financial resources as English ones. That's very true, but I'd add: why hasn't the football product been exploited here like in England? Why is it so complicated to buy a €40 million defender for an Italian club, yet Liverpool doesn't even bother? We'll see if the deal goes through, but in any case, I feel like the Reds would make a great move by securing this boy, whom I followed with curiosity and interest in the second half of last season."

Negotiations for Leoni are set to continue with Parma, with growing optimism that Liverpool will strike an agreement over the transfer fee before the transfer window deadline day. Additionally, Guehi, whose contract at Selhurst Park expires next year, could also join Arne Slot's side.

'Someone decided I can't be part of the group' – Gianluigi Donnarumma releases furious statement confirming PSG exit as Man City step up transfer talks

Want-away Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma released a fiery statement on Tuesday confirming his impending exit from the French club. The Italian goalkeeper suggested PSG boss Luis Enrique is responsible for his exile from the club. Donnarumma's likely destination is going to be the Premier League with Manchester City.

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    It's all but confirmed that PSG's star goalkeeper Donnarumma will leave the European champions this summer, after the 26-year-old released an explosive statement confirming his likely exit. He expressed his desire to meet the PSG fans one last time and also bid farewell to his team-mates.

  • WHAT DONNARUMMA SAID

    The official statement from the goalkeeper read: "To the special Paris fans, From the first day I arrived, I gave everything – on and off the pitch – to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris Saint-Germain. Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success. I am disappointed and disheartened. I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done. If that doesn’t happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me, and I will never forget it. I will always carry with me the memory of all the emotions, the magical nights, and of you, who made me feel at home. To my teammates – my second family – thank you for every battle, every laugh, every moment we shared. You will always be my brothers. Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you, Paris."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    While the Italiy international did not name any individual in his statement, the individual he referred to as "someone" is surely Luis Enrique, as the PSG boss had earlier admitted to removing him from his UEFA Super Cup matchday squad against Spurs. The Spaniard had told reporters, "Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, no doubt about it, and an even better person. But that's the life of top-level footballers. I am 100% responsible for this difficult decision. If it were easy, anyone would do it. These decisions have to do with the profile of the goalkeeper my team needs. It's clear that we're all responsible for achieving what we achieved last season. The players had to make many sacrifices; last year, no one believed in us, while this year represents a huge challenge to prove that we can still win."

    WHAT NEXT FOR DONNARUMMA?

    While Donnarumma is yet to finalise his next destination, he is closely linked with a move to the Premier League, amid interest from Manchester City. Earlier on Tuesday, several reports emerged that claim that the Cityzens have approached PSG with an offer for the goalkeeper, as they look to offload their current No.1, Ederson.

Erik ten Hag slammed for not 'fighting harder' to keep Granit Xhaka at Bayer Leverkusen as Germany legend insists Sunderland transfer could have been prevented

Granit Xhaka has sensationally returned to the Premier League, signing for Sunderland in a £17 million ($23m) deal that has left Germany legend Lothar Matthaus fuming at Bayer Leverkusen boss Erik ten Hag. Matthaus believes Ten Hag should have done more to keep hold of the 31-year-old, who played a pivotal role in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title run in 2023-2024.

    It’s been a brutal few months for Leverkusen. In addition to Xhaka’s departure, their talismanic coach, Xabi Alonso, walked away to take the reins at Real Madrid. Meanwhile, star defender Jonathan Tah joined Bayern Munich, and Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong both completed blockbuster moves to Liverpool. Long-serving goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky also left for Monaco.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The Xhaka transfer was especially a bitter pill to swallow. The deal with Sunderland was completed shortly after Ten Hag publicly assured fans that there would be “no more departures” from the squad; a statement that immediately aged like milk once Xhaka was pictured holding up his new red and white shirt at the Stadium of Light.

  • WHAT MATTHAUS SAID

    Speaking to , World Cup winner Matthaus ripped into the Leverkusen hierarchy, and Ten Hag in particular, for allowing Xhaka to walk away.

    “Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid. Jonathan Tah to FC Bayern. Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool. Lukas Hradecky to Monaco, and then Granit Xhaka to Sunderland! I can hardly remember seeing a more drastic upheaval at a top team," he said.

    “Most of the departures are understandable and couldn’t have been prevented. I just don’t accept that in Xhaka’s case! Erik ten Hag must accept the criticism of not fighting harder for the strategist and the heart of the team.”

Irreconhecível, o Corinthians não conseguiu ampliar a sua sequência de vitórias e foi derrotado por 2 a 0 pelo São Bernardo na noite desta quinta-feira (9), pela sétima rodada do Campeonato Paulista. O Bernô marcou tanto no início do primeiro tempo, quanto no começo do segundo.

O meio-campista Vitinho, cobrando pênalti, e o centroavante João Carlos foram os responsáveis por balançar as redes. Com isso, o Tigre chegou ao seu terceiro triunfo consecutivo. Já o Timão perdeu a chance de vencer pela quarta vez seguida.

SÃO BERNARDO COMEÇA MELHOR E SAI NA FRENTE

O São Bernardo começou em cima do Corinthians e rapidamente converteu isso em gol. Com um minuto, Rodrigo Souza apareceu livre na entrada da área e obrigou o goleiro Cássio a fazer uma boa defesa. Dois minutos depois, Balbuena vacilou na saída de bola, perdeu a posse e atingiu o ex-corintiano Léo Jabá, que foi atingido e caiu na área. O árbitro João Vitor Gobi não pensou duas vezes em assinalar a penalidade, que foi batida e convertida pelo meio-campista Vitinho, que bateu no canto esquerdo, oposto ao que Cássio caiu.

E não é porque o Bernô saiu na frente antes dos cinco minutos de jogo que o time se fechou. O Tigre seguiu em cima do Timão e chegou até a acertar uma bola na trave, com João Carlos, de cabeça.

PRIMEIRO TEMPO DO TIMÃO É INEXISTENTE

Depois da bola da trave do São Bernardo, o jogo caiu de ritmo. O Bernô parou de ir para cima, mas o Timão também não agrediu. A equipe alvinegra até passou a ter mais a bola, mas a criação foi praticamente inexistente. Até os 40 minutos, o Corinthians finalizou somente uma vez e sem perigo. Nos minutos finais, teve mais um chute que não assustou o adversário e a única finalização em direção ao gol, em uma cabeceio de Giuliano, após cobrança de escanteio, que obrigou o goleiro Alex Alves fazer boa defesa.

SÃO BERNARDO VOLTA BROCANDO

E se o primeiro já estava se desenhando difícil para o Corinthians, ficou pior logo no primeiro lance de perigo do segundo tempo, quando o São Bernardo ampliou. Na primeira situação do lateral Alex Reinaldo, que havia entrado no intervalo, ele recebeu de Chrystian Barletta e cruzou por baixo para João Carlos, que estava sozinho na pequena área, e escorou para o fundo do gol.

LÁZARO MUDA, CORINTHIANS CRESCE, MAS NÃO MOVIMENTA O PLACAR

Na tentativa de recolocar o Corinthians no jogo, o técnico Fernando Lázaro fez três mudanças de uma vez, colocando Fábio Santos, Fausto Vera e Paulinho, no lugar de Matheus Bidu, Du Queiroz e Romero. O Timão até criou chances depois disso, a principal com uma finalização de Paulinho no travessão. Róger Guedes também teve uma boa chance, quando invadiu a área, pelo lado esquerdo, mas foi travado na hora da finalização.
