Wolves keep fighting to get out of relegation trouble, says Matt Doherty Matt Doherty has urged his Wolverhampton Wanderers players to continue their "keep fighting" mentality as they look to avoid a second consecutive season in the Premier League's bottom three. Despite being on a run of just one win from their last seven matches, Wolves are only two points behind 17th-placed Brighton and could yet pull off a great escape. "We've got a lot of character in this group," Doherty said after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Newcastle. "We're not giving up. We're keep fighting. That's the mentality we need to have."#Premier_League #Newcastle #Brighton #Wolverhampton_Wanderers #Matt_Doherty

Captain Kerr's Record Ton Powers New Zealand to Victory In a thrilling encounter, Captain Sophie Devine's record-breaking ton propelled New Zealand to a convincing victory over Sri Lanka in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026. The Black Caps' skipper scored an unbeaten 103 off just 64 deliveries, as her side romped home with five overs to spare. The match began on a dramatic note, with both teams opting to bowl first after winning the toss. Sri Lanka's pacer, Anushka Sanjeewani, struck early, removing New Zealand opener, Lauren Downie, for 14. However, Devine's arrival at the crease marked a significant turning point in the match. The captain quickly settled into her stride, dispatching the Sri Lankan bowlers with ease. As the innings progressed, Devine continued to dominate, scoring boundaries with disdain and smashing sixes with authority. Her record-breaking ton included 11 fours and four maximums, leaving the Sri Lankan fielders in awe of her destructive power. New Zealand's total of 164 for three was a formidable one, considering the challenging conditions at the venue. In response, Sri Lanka struggled to make an impact, losing wickets at regular intervals. Despite a spirited effort from captain, Chamari Athapaththu, who scored 35 off 30 deliveries, the Lankan Tigresses' chase fell well short of the required target. They were bowled out for 119 in 19 overs, handing New Zealand a comfortable victory. This win has sent a strong message to the rest of the teams competing in the tournament, as New Zealand's dominance with both bat and ball is likely to be a key factor in their quest for the title. Captain Devine's record-breaking ton will undoubtedly go down as one of the most memorable performances in the history of women's cricket, cementing he...#Sophie_Devine #New_Zealand #ICC_Women_s_T20_World_Cup_2026 #Lauren_Downie #Anushka_Sanjeewani #Chamari_Athapaththu

Patel's innings included four boundaries and a six, and she played a crucial role in taking New Zealand to 137-4 after 20 overs.
