Where it all came full circle

21 July 2026, 09:00 AM
At New York-New Jersey Stadium on Monday, several storylines came full circle in the World Cup final.
21 July 2026, 09:00 AM
Spain disallowed goal against Argentina

Should Nico's goal have stood?: VAR, Argentina and the questions that won't go away

20 July 2026, 06:43 AM
The dust has settled. Spain lifted their second World Cup title with a 1-0 victory over an Argentina side that never truly showed up in the all-important final at New York-New Jersey Stadium today.

All set for a blockbuster final

19 July 2026, 11:00 AM
The stakes could not be higher than they are at a World Cup final. And the grand finale at the New York-New Jersey Stadium on Monday (1:00am Bangladesh Time) could hardly have been scripted better, with Lionel Messi's Argentina taking on Lamine Yamal's Spain in a showdown set to bring the curtain down on the biggest edition in the competition's history.

Golden Boot: The only prize left for Mbappe to chase

18 July 2026, 13:00 PM
The third-place decider is often described as the World Cup's most unwanted fixture. No player begins a tournament dreaming of featuring in it, yet one of the semifinal losers has to walk away with bronze while the other leaves empty-handed.

Messi is inevitable

17 July 2026, 08:00 AM
Lionel Messi turned 39 during the course of this World Cup. Yet the things he has done, the numbers he has produced, and the sheer excellence he has displayed in North America continue to defy age and time.

Argentina beat England 2-1 WC semifinal

Resilient Argentina refuse to fall

16 July 2026, 04:08 AM
Most teams that go on to achieve ultimate glory have one thing in common: resilience.
16 July 2026, 04:08 AM
Spain beat France 2-0

Tactical masterclass trumps rigidity

15 July 2026, 22:00 PM
Beyond Spain’s 2-0 victory over France in the World Cup semifinal in Dallas lay a far more compelling story than the scoreline itself -- one of a tactical masterclass from Luis de la Fuente that Didier Deschamps never truly recognised, let alone countered.

Bellingham turns doubters into believers

15 July 2026, 11:00 AM
Standing tall, chest puffed out, and arms outstretched, Jude Bellingham’s trademark celebration has become one of the defining images of England’s World Cup.

A new high in humiliation

Everything was working fine for Bangladesh on the fifth day of their one-off Test against Afghanistan until the rain that had marred most of the day’s play, seeming to answer most Bangladesh players’ and fans’ prayers, stopped and play resumed at 4:20 pm with 18.3 overs more to be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium yesterday.

Bowling a problem too

Almost all the questions were raised regarding Bangladesh's batting, especially the repeated top-order debacles during their 3-0 ODI series whitewash at the hands of hosts New Zealand, which was sealed with an emphatic 88-run defeat in Dunedin on Wednesday.

Replicate Test conditions in domestic circuit

Change in mentality the biggest takeaway

2018 has been a year of fluctuating fortunes for the Bangladesh women's cricket team, with the Tigresses' Asia Cup triumph in June being a lofty peak and the disappointing show in the ICC Women's World T20 in West Indies the nadir.

But unfortunately the above description is of the Gulshan Youth Club Sports Ground, where the Dhaka First Division Women's Cricket League, organised by BCB, is currently being held.
