A statement victory for Tigers
There are so many heroes in Bangladesh’s first-ever Test win against Pakistan after 13 unsuccessful attempts. The only occasion the Tigers came close to winning before this was in Multan in 2003 when a portly Inzamamul Haq robbed them with an unbeaten 138 in the second innings, with Pakistan winning by one wicket.

Can Black Caps derail the Indian juggernaut?
As a perfect India team appear in the first semifinal of the 2023 World Cup against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai today, a pertinent question would be if the Black Caps have any magic left in their tank to stop the rampant hosts from taking a bold step closer to winning the coveted trophy for a third time.

Not used to this at all: Loew
It is still too early to say whether Germany will suffer the same fate that Spain and Italy had in previous versions of the FIFA World Cup. Italy and Spain, champions of the 2006 and 2010 World Cups respectively, were embarrassed in the subsequent defence of their titles, making early exits from the first rounds.
