Sports — Live scores, match reports and quick previews

Want straight-to-the-point sports coverage that actually tells you what happened and why it matters? This is the Sports hub for stories you care about — from big comebacks and transfer moves to match previews, live updates and quick takes. We cover football, cricket, boxing, basketball and more with short, useful articles you can read between things.

Top stories right now

Fluminense stunned Internacional with a late comeback to reach their first Copa Libertadores final since 2008 — a classic under-pressure turnaround that changed a whole season.

Lionel Messi grabbed headlines again, rescuing Inter Miami in a 3-3 draw with Philadelphia Union and shifting momentum as they eye the Club World Cup.

Marcus Smart shocked some fans by joining the Lakers and already showing the defensive grit and leadership the club needs during a busy roster rebuild.

Cricket had its moments too: India vs Bangladesh in the ICC Champions Trophy and a record T20I in Johannesburg that put Samson and Varma in the spotlight for India.

On the fight scene, the Beterbiev vs Bivol rematch in Riyadh is one to watch — available on DAZN PPV for viewers who want the live action and undercard buzz.

How we cover matches and news

We break stories into short match reports, line-up previews, injury updates and clear takeaways. Need fantasy tips? Our Dream11 guides point to players to pick based on pitch, form and roles — for example, pick all-rounders and spinners in the PAS vs NMB Vidarbha Pro T20 match if the surface favors spin.

Looking to catch a game? We list broadcast info when available — like Brighton vs Chelsea on ITV4/ITVX — so you don’t miss the kickoff. For major events we add streaming and pay-per-view details if they matter to viewers.

Transfers and club news get short explainers: who gains, who loses, and what it means for the season. When a coach explains an absence or a club faces an off-field issue, we summarize the facts and what likely comes next.

We also flag major off-field stories that affect the game in Africa and beyond, such as high-profile investigations or leadership changes in football federations. These items matter because they can reshape competitions and funding.

Follow match threads for real-time updates, or read the quick recap after a game if you just want the key moments. Bookmark this page for daily updates across leagues — from local promotion races to Champions League nights and MLS showdowns.
