From questions to more questions, the Indian side is having a rough time. World Champions have lost four out of five games after the IPL. England edged India by a thumping 125-run victory at Trent Bridge. This was the third outing of this series, and England is now leading it 2-0 (the first game got washed out).
Iyer is having a great time with the toss in his leadership, winning the fifth toss in a row. Iyer asked hosts to bat first and with the help of Salt’s 70 and Curran’s 41, England scored 201, which didn’t seem a big total as we have witnessed some massive totals in the IPL, but soon we found out this is International cricket. In reply, India got bowled out at just 76, with the highest score of 13 by Vaibhav and Ishan.
New leader, new deputy, and some big changes after the World Cup, fans were excited to see how this side would dominate in Europe, but what happened here shocked the cricket world. India not only lost a game against Ireland for the first time but went on to lose the series and is now on the brink of losing another one against England. Get the scorecard

This FIFA is giving a lifetime experience to Messi fans. From being 2 goal down for almost 80 minutes, Argentina made a comeback and scored 3 back-to-back goals in the last 15 minutes against Egypt in the Round of 16. Egypt got a great start as Ibrahim scored in the 15th minute and then, after a long wait, nailed it again in the 67th minute when Ziko scored.
Fans were ready to accept the final international appearance of Messi, but then something happened. C. Romero(79th) and L. Messi(83rd) scored back-to-back goals to level the score, and when the draw was almost confirmed, Fernandez(90+3) stood up and hammered the final nail in the coffin. Game Review
