Courtesy the win, Hyderabad remain on course to qualify for the playoffs. Chennai & Delhi are already through with Mumbai in the 3rd spot. In the bottom half, Kolkata, Punjab and Rajasthan are fighting for the 4th spot with 10 points each to their credit. 

Rajasthan win the toss &amp; opt to bowl first vs Kolkata

After getting 3 games out of the way in this season of the IPL, Royal Challengers Bangalore made full use of their 5 day break with a team bonding day in&nbsp;UAE.&nbsp;A fun game of pool volleyball and a karaoke night were some of the activities Virat&nbsp;Kohli and Co. took part in on their rest day.

Serena Williams' struggles with her Achilles injury continues as she was forced to&nbsp;withdrawn from the French Open ahead of her second-round tie against Tsvetana Pironkova.&nbsp;The 23-time grand Slam champion had issues with her Achilles&nbsp;in the US Open semi-final game vs Victoria Azarenka a little over a fortnight ago, where Serena was beaten&nbsp; in 3 sets. The 39-year-old stated that a lack of recovery time from that defeat influenced her decision.&nbsp;

Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad's Rashid&nbsp;Khan couldn't hold back his tears during the presentation ceremony after his team registered their first win in IPL&nbsp;2020. The match-winning spell of 3 wickets for 14 runs ensured that Sunrisers&nbsp;handed Delhi Capitals their first loss of 2020. Rashid&nbsp;who lost his mother earlier this year dedicated his player of the match award to her. Calling her, his biggest fan, Rashid&nbsp;found it tough to hold back his emotions.&nbsp;

Portuguese defender Ruben Dias made a move to Manchester City from Benfica on Tuesday. The 23-year-old signed a 6-year contract with the English Premier League side and is worth an eye-watering $83.6-million. Dias joined Benfica&nbsp;in 2018 and almost immediately made it to the first team. He also made his international debut in 2018 and was a key member in Portugal's UEFA&nbsp;Nations League winning team. The move to join the Pep Guardiola&nbsp;led club was on the cards after City were thrashed&nbsp;5-2 at home by Leicester City. Dias' move also took place after the exchange of Nicolas Otamendi who joined&nbsp;Benfica&nbsp;$17.6-million.&nbsp;

Underfire&nbsp;Barcelona president&nbsp;Josep Bartomeu&nbsp;has another problem to worry about. A no-confidence motion has been filed against the President at the club after the motion received&nbsp;the necessary number of signatures to bring forward the proposal. The motion comes after Lionel Messi&nbsp;had requested to leave the club&nbsp;after the end of the last season due to a&nbsp;fallout with Bartomeu. Despite Messi&nbsp;reversing the decision and staying with the Catalan giants, the no-confidence motion gathered steam and has now got the necessary number of signatures as the club sold Messi's&nbsp;teammates,&nbsp;Luis Suarez&nbsp;and Arturo Vidal.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Liverpool latest import Thiago Alcantara&nbsp;tested positive for Covid-19 on Tuesday. The 29-year-old midfielder who came in from Bayern Munich earlier this month has been advised to remain in&nbsp;self-isolation. At 25 million euros, Alcantara&nbsp;was brought in to strengthen the midfield and featured in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Chelsea this season. The&nbsp;club also issued a statement confirming&nbsp;the case and assuring the fans that the necessary guidelines are being followed.&nbsp;

A furious clash on the sidelines between managers Jose Mourinho&nbsp;and Frank Lampard overshadowed the League Cup clash between Tottenham and Chelsea on Wednesday night. Mourinho&nbsp;had the last laugh as his side edged out Chelsea on penalties&nbsp;to enter the quarterfinals. Interestingly, the pair was very close not so long ago when Mourinho&nbsp;was managing Chelsea as Frank Lampard&nbsp;played for the Blues. With a goal each from Timo&nbsp;Werner and Erik Lamela, both teams were locked on a goal each before the Spurs edged Chelsea out 5-4 on penalties.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Delhi Capitals were dethroned off their top spot after their loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad as Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals lead the points table now. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab are at the 3rd and 4th spots respectively. Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Chennai are at the bottom half of the table.

Half century by Jonny&nbsp;Bairstow&nbsp;and a 26-ball-41 powered Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad by to 162/4. Amit Mishra and Kagiso&nbsp;Rabada&nbsp;took 2 wickets each. Delhi Capitals didn't have any solid partnerships as Shiikhar&nbsp;Dhawan&nbsp;top scored with 34. Rashid&nbsp;Khan's 3/14 rattled them as they could only manage 147/7

After 2 heartbreaks, Sunrisers Hyderabad finally opened their account in IPL 2020 as they registered their first win by beating Delhi Capitals by 15 runs on Tuesday. Delhi's decision to bowl first backfired as SRH openers put together a 77-run-stand. Jonny Bairstow scored a half-century but&nbsp;playing his first game of the season,&nbsp;it was Kane Williamson who powered Hyderabad to 162/4 with a 26-ball-41. Chasing which, Delhi lost wickets at regular intervals and didn't focus on converting ones into twos on a big ground. Rashid Khan's spell of 3/14 restricted the men from the North to 147/4, handing them their first loss of the season.

Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals star batsman Sanju&nbsp;Samson has impressed everyone with his clean hitting&nbsp;in this season of the IPL&nbsp;but his international career has been a shaky one. The 25-year-old revealed how a chat with India captain Virat Kohli earlier in the year changed his attitude towards the game. Samson said that Virat&nbsp;told him that he can do whatever after 10 years, like, he could eat whatever he wanted to but he won't be able to play cricket after these ten years. So he should give everything, whatever he has in these ten years to cricket.&nbsp;

2 high-scoring games, 2 wins and 2 brilliant games later, Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals now move out of the small Sharjah&nbsp;cricket ground and head to Dubai where they play the Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders. A big plus for the Royals will be their batting but it will be interesting to see how they perform on bigger grounds. The bowling unit led by Jofra&nbsp;Archer will also get a respite from the bludgeoning&nbsp;on the small Sharjah&nbsp;strip and can expect better performances after conceding more than 200 twice in 2 games. The Knight Riders too are coming off a win after a clinical performance against the Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad. All eyes will once again be on Shubhman&nbsp;Gill who played a conservative yet responsible innings to guide his team to their first win of the tournament. With KKR's bowling unit led by Pat Cummins&nbsp;is also settling in, it will be an interesting battle against the strong batting line-up of the Royals. With Royals leading the head-to-head record 10-9 against the Knights, Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik's side will be hoping to break even with Rajasthan&nbsp;on Wednesday.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

After a successful return of international cricket in England, it's now all set to resume in New Zealand&nbsp;after&nbsp;a 7-month forced break due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Their cricket board announced on Tuesday that the revised home season will start with a 3-match T20 series vs the West Indies from November 27, followed by 2 Tests starting December 3. The Kiwis will then take on Pakistan in 3 T20I and 2 Tests.&nbsp;The New Zealand government has also granted conditional approval to allow the West Indies and Pakistan series to go ahead. The Blackcaps last played a game in March vs Australia behind closed doors in Sydney.

After sitting out of the first two games of the season, Ishan&nbsp;Kishan&nbsp;finally got a game on Monday night against Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was a tall order to chase 202 in Dubai against a decent bowling line up of RCB. 16/2 on the board after the departure of Rohit&nbsp;Sharma and Suryakumar&nbsp;Yadav&nbsp;too was not helping the cause as Ishan&nbsp;Kishan&nbsp;walked out to bat with the asking rate going beyond 12 an over. 58 balls, 9 sixes and 2 fours later, former India Under 19 star was left with 19 to get in the final over. With Kieron&nbsp;Pollard firing on the other end, stars looked aligned for Mumbai&nbsp;to cross the finish line. The 22-year-old did most of the hard work&nbsp;as he smashed Isuru&nbsp;Udana&nbsp;to 2 sixes which bought the equation down to 5 from the last 2 balls. But glory eluded the Jharkhand&nbsp;batsman as he perished on the penultimate ball while batting on 99. Although&nbsp;his team managed to tie the match but they lost in the super over as Ishan's&nbsp;career-best score in IPL&nbsp;couldn't get his team over the line.&nbsp;

Sourav&nbsp;Ganguly on Monday confirmed that BCCI&nbsp;will try hard to host England in India next year for a 5-Test, 3 ODI&nbsp;and 3 T20 series. Dada confirmed that the board is ready to make bio-secure bubbles at venues like Mumbai&nbsp;&amp; Kolkata to host the English side but everything depends on the Covid-19 situation in India. After reports of hosting the England series in the&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;doing the rounds, the former India captain confirmed that the Board would prefer the series in India as that's where the heart is. Confirming the status of domestic cricket in India, Dada went on to say that the board is monitoring the situation and would like to resume the sport very soon.&nbsp;

Defending Champions Liverpool came back from a goal down to thrash Arsenal 3-1 in the Premier League on Monday night. After Alexandre Lacazette&nbsp;opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 25th minute, Sadio&nbsp;Mane equalised almost immediately. Andy Roberston&nbsp;gave the Reds the lead before the half time break as Jurgen&nbsp;Klopp's&nbsp;men started to gather steam after a slow start.&nbsp;Diogo Jota&nbsp;then gave the fans the final goal of the night as Liverpool pushed Arsenal out of the door in the 2nd half. 3 points on the night for Klopp's&nbsp;side meant that they are 2nd on the points table on goal difference as they've won all the 3 games this season.&nbsp;&nbsp;
