A disciplined effort from the bowlers, in which they bundled Port Qasim Authority for just 72, helped Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited secure a seven-wicket victory. It was SNGPL’s first win of the tournament and snapped table-toppers PQA’s three-match winning streak.PQA won the toss and elected to bat, but were in all sorts of trouble after Samiullah Khan and Yasir Shah tore into the top order to reduce them to 29 for 6 at the halfway stage. Wicketkeeper Mohammad Salman tried to hold the innings together with his 24, but wickets continued to tumble at the other end. PQA were eventually dismissed for 72 off the penultimate ball of the innings. Yasir Shah took an impressive 3 for 11 off his four overs, and was ably supported by Samiullah Khan’s 2 for 4 off three overs, and Bilawal Bhatti’s 2 for 18.With a low score to chase, SNGPL started well with a 37-run partnership that ended any chance of a turnaround for PQA. Despite losing a few wickets, the batsmen were not troubled, as Taufeeq Umar anchored the innings with his unbeaten 45. SNGPL crossed the line in the 15th over to beat PQA by seven wickets.

Essex wait on how Panesar gels

On Wednesday, Nigel Hilliard, the Essex chairman, said that the prospects of Monty Panesar remaining an Essex cricketer next year will be dependent on how well he fits into the dressing-room for the remainder of the season.Given that he has been in the middle for most of his first few days at Colchester, bowling no fewer than 54 overs, he has hardly had time to converse with his new colleagues. Yet, according to James Foster, his captain, the signs are highly auspicious.”I had been with him on an England Lions tour and I knew him to be a quality guy,” Foster said. “Monty has fitted in really well. He keeps himself to himself but he has shown great exuberance around the dressing-room and enjoys a bit of banter. It has helped that he has known other players from the past – he has played a lot of cricket with Ravi Bopara and against Gautam Gambhir.””I don’t know what has been agreed between Essex and Sussex and have no idea if he will be back next season – that is down to the powers-that-be – but there is no question he has gone down well. I thought his bowling was excellent on a good batting pitch which did not offer anything in the way of spin. His control was relentless. It does not look as if the pitch is going to break up, either.”The perception from the boundary was that Panesar was firing the ball in at the batsmen, striving for containment and maidens rather than enticing them into trying to hit against such turn as there was or over the top. Not so, felt Foster. “There was plenty of variation and he mixed his pace up nicely. The only way a spinner could get a lot out of this pitch was through control. He was bowling against good, in-form batters. That was what I, as a wicketkeeper, found to be exceptional.”Foster said the club had had to move smartly when they knew Panesar was being released by Sussex and was amused that Northamptonshire had arrived at Colchester at the start of this week anticipating that the England spinner would be turning out against Essex. “Monty could make the difference between us gaining promotion and remaining in the second division,” he said. “In theory, pitches take spin at this time of year and that is why we went for him. I am not sure whether he will play in our remaining one-dayers.”Panesar is staying in a Colchester hotel this week and will then move into the Chelmsford area. Foster said that as part of the agreement over his release from Sussex, he was not be permitted to join a Division One club – in other words, he would not be allowed to play against them for the remainder of the season. The Essex captain was unaware that Sussex had prevented him from speaking to the media during the Colchester festival.There was no play on the third day to test whether or not there would be anything in the pitch to encourage the spinners on both sides. The presence of Panesar has been well received by Essex members and supporters, but inevitably there has been the odd grumble over the wages that will be paid to him between now and the end of the season. He will remain on the same salary he was receiving from Sussex. After that, the club will be competing in a free market.

تقارير: الأهلي في مفاوضات متقدمة لضم مهاجم فناربخشة

كشفت تقارير صحفية تركية، أن النادي الأهلي متصدر الدوري المصري في مرحلة متقدمة للغاية من أجل التعاقد مع مهاجم جديد في الميركاتو الصيفي المقبل.

ويبحث الأهلي منذ فترة عن مهاجم قوي قادر على قيادة الخط الأمامي بطلب من المدرب، مارسيل كولر، وعاد للاهتمام بضم مهاجم فناربخشة، مبوانا علي ساماتا.

هذه ليست المرة الأولى التي يهتم الأهلي فيها بضم ساماتا، حيث سبق واهتم بالصفقة في يناير الماضي، لكن اللاعب التنزاني الدولي كان معارًا لصفوف جينك في الدوري البلجيكي.

ولم يرغب جينك في التفريط في المهاجم في يناير تحت أي ظرف، نظرًا لأهميته بالنسبة للفريق البلجيكي، لكن الآن ساماتا عاد إلى فناربخشة مرة أخرى.

وبحسب شبكة “VOLE” التركية، فإن الأهلي يرغب في ضم ساماتا الذي لا يريد البقاء مع فناربخشة، ويرحب بالانتقال إلى بطل دوري أبطال إفريقيا 2023.

وأكدت الشبكة الشهيرة في تركية أن المفاوضات تتقدم بشكل إيجابي في الوقت الحالي، وإذا تمت سينتقل صاحب الـ 30 عامًا إلى الأهلي فور فتح سوق الانتقالات الصيفية في مصر.

الجدير بالذكر أن ساماتا ينتهي عقده مع فناربخشة في نهاية الموسم المقبل في 30 يونيو 2024، وقيمته التسويقية تبلغ 2.5 مليون يورو.

Corinthians segue com dificuldades, mas bola aérea e Gustagol salvam

MatériaMais Notícias

O técnico Fábio Carille mudou o Corinthians para o clássico contra o São Paulo. Após admitir que o sistema ofensivo não vinham bem e que a equipe precisava de velocidade, Pedrinho e Clayson foram titulares nas vagas de Jadson e Vagner Love. O Timão continuou com dificuldades na criação, mas venceu por 2 a 1 graças a duas armas que tem mostrado nesta temporada: a bola aérea e o poder de decisão de Gustagol.

Quatro dos dez gols marcados pelo Corinthians em 2019 foram de cabeça. Na vitória sobre o São Paulo, Sornoza deu sua quarta assistência, e Manoel marcou o primeiro pelo Timão.

O segundo veio com Gustagol, que tem sido fundamental nestes primeiros jogos. Ele foi autor de sete dos dez gols marcados pelo Timão em 2019.

Os dois gols, porém, não podem esconder a dificuldade que o Corinthians mais uma vez demonstrou para levar perigo ao adversário. O primeiro chute a gol aconteceu quase aos 42 minutos, com Pedrinho, no lance que originou o escanteio do gol de Manoel.

Mesmo com as mudanças, o Timão não conseguiu ter velocidade. Clayson caía pelos lados, mas pouco ajudava. Pedrinho também não esteve em uma noite inspirada. Sornoza parece ainda não ter se achado na equipe, embora já tenha dado quatro assistências no ano.

Com bons jogadores à disposição, Carille não encontrou a formação ideal para o Corinthians. No Majestoso deste domingo, pelo menos, viu sua equipe ser fatal novamente pelo alto e com Gustagol.

Novo posicionamento do ataque do Botafogo traz alento para a 'decisão' de quarta

MatériaMais Notícias

Se excluirmos o primeiro tempo do jogo contra o Flamengo, o Botafogo não tinha lições positivas para explorar em 2019. A primeiro vitória tardou a sair, mas veio de maneira convincente, diante do Boavista, fora de casa, por 3 a 0.

Ainda que o Alvinegro tenha entrado em campo sem chances de ir às semifinais da Taça Guanabara, o adversário estava em casa, onde defendia o 100% de aproveitamento no ano e podia se classificar. Zé Ricardo optou por dar rodagem ao elenco e montar um posicionamento inédito do setor ofensivo.

Ou seja, o risco de um novo vexame não era pequeno. Mas deu certo.

Aliás, não só deu certo como também trouxe um alento para os próximos jogos, pois o Botafogo conseguiu que o meio-campo fosse produtivo e envolvente, tanto nas transições – contra-ataques, sobretudo – quanto nas jogadas de profundidade. Cabe destacar que, com João Paulo ou Luiz Fernando na função de armador, o Glorioso estava travado na criação.

Erik deixou a ponta direita para atuar por dentro, logo atrás de Kieza – como Zé já tinha feito com Brenner, em 2018. O meia-atacante apareceu bem na construção e se apresentou para finalizar, tanto que partiu do centro para marcar um dos gols, após assistência (de cabeça) de Kieza.

Dentre os testes, Rodrigo Pimpão e Gustavo Ferrareis foram as escolhas para as pontas, sendo que Ferrareis iniciou como articulador. A constante movimentação da última linha surtiu efeito, principalmente quando Alex Santana teve fôlego para colaborar no apoio e na verticalidade dos passes.

O próximo desafio do Botafogo será uma “decisão”: contra o Defensa y Justicia, nesta quarta-feira, pela primeira partida da fase inicial Sul-Americana, em casa. Pela vitória e pelo rendimento, o botafoguense tem o direito de alimentar o ânimo e a confiança para a peleja no Nilton Santos. A acompanhar a evolução.

– A vitória é importante não só para a gente poder pontuar, mas para resgatar confiança do grupo, que estava abalada depois do início ruim. Nossa conta ainda é negativa para com a torcida e o clube, mas vamos tentar redobrar a atenção e evoluir nos próximos jogos. Demos um passo à frente, agora é tentar manter a regularidade e melhorar a performance – apontou Zé, em coletiva.
