#IPL2021 - KKRvsSRH - Gill finds form while Hyderabad finds Umran Malik
As a match, the Kolkata Knight Riders versus Sunrisers Hyderabad encounter never reached any great heights. Batting first the underperforming Hyderabad team continued to underperform with a patchy and unsatisfactory 115 for 8. Kane Williamson was the top-scorer with 26. A total of this smallness was never going to test the all-guns-blazing Kolkata batsmen --- even though SRH had actually defended the same score three years back against MI. But SRH bowlers bowled with lot of heart especially the under fire Bhuvanesh Kumar. KKR found going tough and slow, but Shubman Gill finally found some form and patiently piloted his team to close to victory target while Dinesh Karthik gave the finishing touches. For SRH, the net bowler turned regular bowler Umran Malik was impressive. His pace and bounce disconcerted all batsmen. Malik, who had traveled to UAE as a net bowler but made it to the side because T Natarajan tested positive for Covid, may be one for the future. KKR with a better run-rate is currently ahead of the other teams vying for the fourth playoffs slot in the table. But you never know.
2021 Valencia Round 1 Race Moto2™ European Championship
Round 2 of the season is done and dusted as new stars emerged, more history was made and Championship battles begin to form? The Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Cheste, Valencia, played host to a stunning Sunday of FIM CEV Repsol action with epic battles all the way through the day's five action-packed races. In the FIM Moto3™ Junior World Championship, they enjoyed their first double-header of the year and it was Daniel Holgado (Aspar Junior Team) who took both wins. In the Moto2™ European Championship, Fermin Aldeguer (Boscoscuro Talent Team-Ciatti) made it a hat-trick in 2021 with another win, whilst we had two more first-time winners in the Hawkers European Talent Cup, with Race 1 spoils going to 12-year-old Brian Uriarte (Team Estrella Galicia 0,0) and then in Race 2, the win was claimed by Alvaro Carpe (MT-Foundation 77). FIM Moto3™ JWCh action was as fierce as ever with Race 1 providing a thrilling showdown between the heavyweights of the class, despite morning rain making the track patchy. Despite a late-race moment that saw him drop to third, Daniel Holgado fought back tremendously to take victory with a dramatic final corner pass on Takuma Matsuyama (Asia Talent Team), denying the Japanese rider his first win. Holgado took honours to make it two from two, whilst Matsuyama claimed a first podium and Diogo Moreira (Team Estrella Galicia 0,0) completed the podium, giving Brazil a first podium in the class. Having run in the top three for much of the race, Ivan Ortola (Team MTA) was pushed back to sixth, finishing behind David Muñoz (Avatel - Cardoso Racing) and his teammate Daniel Muñoz. In Race 2, it was more of the same, although a red flag was shown after a Lap 1 incident between Alessandro Morosi (Laglisse Academy) and teammate Filippo Farioli. There was more drama at the start of Race 2's restart as Daniel Muñoz took out teammate David Muñoz on the exit of Turn 11 on Lap 1. As the race settled down, it was a familiar trio at the front with Daniel Holgado leading ahead of Diogo Moreira and Ivan Ortola but sublime late-race pace from Jose Julian Garcia (SIC58 Squadra Corse) put him in the mix. Holgado made it a magical hat-trick with another win, whilst Garcia held off Ortola as they completed the podium; Moreira crashed out on the last lap at Turn 12 but was able to walk away. The Championship standings show Holgado on a perfect 75 points, ahead of David Salvador (TM Factory Racing Team) in second, Ortola in third and Indonesia's Mario Aji (Astra Honda Racing Team) in fourth. The Moto2™ ECh was just as intriguing, although a red flag also came out after the first few laps of the race for an accident involving Leon Orgis (Avintia Esponsorama Junior Team). On the restart, it was Alonso Lopez (Boscoscuro Talent Team-Ciatti) who grabbed the holeshot ahead of Taiga Hada (AGR Team), but soon enough it was 16-year-old sensation Fermin Aldeguer (Boscoscuro Talent Team-Ciatti) who carved his way through to cruise to a third victory from his first three races, whilst Lopez was once again second. Pushing through to third and finding a breakthrough under the Valencian sun was Adam Norrodin (Liqui Moly Intact SIC Racing Team), as the Malaysian took a second podium of the year. Top Superstock 600 honours went to Alex Escrig (FAU55 TEY Racing) once again. In the main title race, Aldeguer, Lopez and Norrodin are the top three with 75, 60 and 45 points respectively. As is the usual case, HETC provided more intense action as the class took the track in the morning for their first race, and it was a third different winner in as many races as 12-year-old Brian Uriarte (Team Estrella Galicia 0,0) stunned everyone from 14th on the grid. The Spanish sensation picked his way through the order to eventually hit the front, seizing his opportunity to take Race 1 honours. Second place went to pole-sitter Hugo Millan (Cuna de Campeones) who grabbed the Championship lead, whilst third place belonged to his teammate Xabi Zurutuza, after Maximo Martinez (Team Honda Laglisse) received a post-race penalty for a previous infringement. It was a disaster for Alvaro Carpe (MT-Foundation 77), who after leading most of the race and starting third, retired with mechanical issues. HETC Race 2 was another titanic duel as Adrian Cruces (Cuna de Campeones) and teammate Millan eased away at the front, ahead of Alvaro Carpe and a charging Angel Piqueras (Team Estrella Galicia 0,0). With the battle between the Cuna de Campeones teammates igniting, Carpe and Piqueras closed in and Carpe pounced on the final lap at the last corner, hitting the front to take a career-first race victory. Cruces and Millan followed their fellow countryman home whilst it was disaster for Piqueras, who crashed on the exit of the final corner on the last lap. Cruces lead the title ahead of Millan by a single point after Round 2, with Xabi Zurutuza third. Carpe's win elevates him to eighth.

ISL match today: SC East Bengal vs Kerala Blasters FC - head-to-head preview, form guide | SCEBKBFC
Both SC East Bengal and Kerala Blasters FC will look to capitalise on wins in their previous games when they square off in match 59 of the ongoing Indian Super League season (ISL 2020-21) at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco da Gama on Friday. Kerala, which is tenth in the points table, has had a patchy run of form since the tournament began. However, after loses against Mumbai City FC and Odisha FC, the team had defeated Jamshedpur FC 3-2 last Sunday. Meanwhile, ninth-placed East Bengal is currently on a five-match unbeaten run, recently coming out on top against Bengaluru FC. If the side beats KBFC by a big margin, it could even move to the sixth spot in the standings. #SCEastBengal #KeralaBlasters #ISL
🔴Manchester Utd vs Wolves Watchalong | Live Football | EXCLUSIVE | LIVE™
Manchester Utd vs Wolves Watchalong | Live Football | EXCLUSIVE | LIVE™ MAN UTD PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Lindelof, Bailly, Maguire, Telles; Fred, Pogba; Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Cavani UNAVAILABLE: Jones (Injured), Rojo (Injured) QUESTIONABLE: Wan-Bissaka (Injured), Rashford (Injured) WOLVES PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Rui Patricio; Semedo, Coady, Saiss, Marcal; Moutinho, Neves; Traore, Podence, Neto; Fabio Silva UNAVAILABLE: Jonny (Injured), Raul Jimenez (Injured) QUESTIONABLE: Boly (Injured), Dendoncker (Injured) THE PREDICTION Man Utd made it eight Premier League games without defeat on Boxing Day, but will have been disappointed to not secure victory after leading twice as they were pegged back and forced to settle for a 2-2 draw away at Leicester. They return to Old Trafford here for the visit of Wolves, whose away form this season has been patchy, having lost three of their last four matches on their travels. Matches between these two sides are normally closely fought affairs with six of the last seven fixtures in all competitions seeing under 2.5 goals scored and four of those matches ending in draws. With the quick turnaround between fixtures perhaps having an effect on both sides physically, a similarly tight contest may be on the cards in this one and under 2.5 goals should be strongly considered.
