Tough time, but we’ll stay together: Harmanpreet Kaur after second successive T20I defeat <div id="content-body-70881884" itemprop="articleBody">India captain Harmanpreet Kaur admitted her team is going through a tough phase but stressed the need to stick together and bounce back after suffering its second successive defeat to South Africa in the women’s T20 International series here on Sunday.India went down meekly by eight wickets in the second women’s T20I to trail 0-2 in the five-match series here on Sunday.Asked to bat first, India was all out for 147 and SA chased down the target quite comfortably, reaching 148 for 2 in 17.1 overs.“Tough time. We as a team need to stay together,” Harmanpreet said at the post-match presentation.READ | <a href="https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/womens-cricket/india-vs-south-africa-women-2nd-t20i-today-result-laura-wolvaardt/article70881852.ece" target="_blank">Wolvaardt, Luus fifties help South Africa script 8-wicket win over India</a>“Hopefully, we’ll go (to Johannesburg for the third match on April 22) with positive approach. T20 format is like that: it’s about staying together.” Harmanpreet rued that her team could not do well in the death-over batting and powerplay bowling.“I think with bat, we were not able to contribute the way we wanted. Last ten overs of the innings we did not bat well. We need to think how we go about next three matches. When you’re not getting the shots, rotating strike is a key point. We were discussing… we can rotate strike and it can help us through that time. But it’s a time when things didn’t work.“Powerplay, while bowling, is not going our way.”Opener Shafali Verma was the lone bright spot for India with a 38-ball 57, which was studded with seven fours and two sixes.“Shafali been a great talent for us. Hope she’ll continue [the same way] for us,” the skipper said.South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt said restricting India to 147 all out was a good job done by her side.“Pretty good catching, one or two put down, but we took one or two good ones as well. After start they had, restricting them was great,” she said.“The area we struggled with last season (death bowling), bowlers identified bowling slower ones into the wicket was helping. It’s something we’ve talked a lot about. Being present on the cricket field. Little things showing on the field.”Published on Apr 19, 2026</div> #Tough #time #stay #Harmanpreet #Kaur #successive #T20I #defeat

Deadspin | Frederik Andersen, Hurricanes look to shut down Senators in Game 2 Apr 18, 2026; Raleigh, North Carolina, USA; Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (31) looks against the Ottawa Senators during the third period in game one of the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Lenovo Center. Mandatory Credit: James Guillory-Imagn Images Finding space on the ice is expected to be an ongoing challenge for the Ottawa Senators and Carolina Hurricanes in their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series. So, finding any small edge will be critical when they meet in Game 2 on Monday night at Raleigh, N.C. “The first round always has all the energy in the world and that’s what you expect,” Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour said. Carolina won 2-0 in the first game Saturday behind Frederik Andersen’s 22-save performance. Both teams had difficulty finding openings and more of that could be in the works. “I don’t think this series it’s ever going to look like there’s a ton of space out there,” Senators coach Travis Green said. “It’s going to look very similar every night. I think at the end of every game, both teams are going to feel like there wasn’t space on the ice and I don’t see changing.” So, it came down to what the goalies could do. “The goalies had to really shine,” Brind’Amour said. Ottawa’s Linus Ullmark made 27 saves Saturday, but he fell to 5-11 in career playoff games. He was sharp as well, though Andersen stole the spotlight when it wasn’t clear leading up to the series opener if he would be Brind’Amour’s choice. He had to decide between Andersen and rookie Brandon Bussi. Andersen got the call. “He was up to the challenge,” Brind’Amour said. “We have good options and both guys have played well. Clearly, experience, I think won out. … Freddy has a track record and we know what he’s capable of.” Green said to win on the road in the playoffs the goalie has to play well (and he liked Ullmark’s outing) and a power-play goal or two would be a boost. The teams combined to go 0-for-9 on power plays in Game 1, with the Hurricanes having five chances. “They’re a quick team,” Green said. “They’re good in this building.” Carolina’s relentless nature is something the Senators need to be ready for again. “They’re deep,” Green said. “They’re good. … Carolina does a real good job of playing their game.” Carolina’s Logan Stankoven supplied a goal and an assist in the series opener, extending a strong stretch. He had an eight-game points streak to end the regular season. Three of Stankoven’s four multi-point postseason outings have come with the Hurricanes. His line has been rolling up strong numbers for the past few weeks. “We have a lot of depth,” Stankoven said. “Since the break, our line has been clicking pretty good. We’ve been able to find each other and I think we’re all hungry to track pucks.” Now the Hurricanes will look for upgrades on power plays. “If we look at one area we’re not overly happy with is our power-play chances,” Stankoven said. “Every team as a series goes on makes adjustments.” Carolina improved to 7-0 in its last seven postseason opening games. The Hurricanes put together some quality stretches in the offensive zone. “They probably deserved to win analytically, and they did,” Green said.

Asian Games gold medallist compound archer Prathamesh Jawkar will be banned from the sport for two years, starting Sunday, April 19, after he accepted the punishment for a whereabouts failure.

According to Article 2.4 of the World Anti-Doping Code, three filing failures regarding the athlete’s whereabouts within a 12-month period culminates into an Anti-Doping Rule Violation. Jawkar missed the deadline for three filings last year, which means he will not only be able to defend his gold at this year’s Asian Games but also most likely miss out on the 2028 Olympics.

“The notice that I received from ITA (International Testing Agency) was on January 14 this year. They gave me a week to explain myself and they were going to reassess my case if I had some evidence in my favour. I gave my explanations about why I failed to fill in the whereabouts, but the reasons were clearly not valid enough. On March 31, I received the final notice of charge,” Jawkar told Sportstar.

“In January only I got to know like there’s no way I’m getting out of this. I was just hoping that they would reduce the period of the ban to maybe a year. I talked with the lawyers and in my case, I don’t think I can get away with these mistakes. I just have to accept it,” he added when asked whether he could appeal this decision.

Jawkar has been part of the Registered Testing Pool (RTP) since 2023 and he had been duly filling the whereabouts up until 2025. He conceded that a lack of education on his part played a role in these failures, especially when he temporarily changed his discipline to recurve.

“I didn’t have enough knowledge regarding this. I was not briefed when I got introduced to the testing tool. It all happened online. Even if I had received a call or something to explain the importance of it, I would have made sure I did. I thought my shift to recurve was quite public, World Archery (first posted about it on March 20) had interviewed me as well. So I thought they must know that I no longer compete at the world level. So why would they test me? At the time I thought I didn’t need to fill it,” Jawkar explained.

According to the Athletics Integrity Unit, an athlete has to follow four deadlines in a year: March 15, June 15, September 15, December 15.

Jawkar’s second offence came when his whereabouts were under doubt. “In July, there was a period of 10 or 15 days when I didn’t know whether I would be in India or Italy because the visa procedure was delayed. I was going to Europe for training. I filled the majority of my variables but I explained my case, saying how I was unsure about these dates. That’s why I’d kept that bit blank. But I didn’t fill it by the deadline. When I got the chance to plead my case, I had a letter from Sports Authority of India my visa actually got delayed. Those were circumstances out of my hands.”

The third offence, Jawkar said, occurred during a period when he had switched off all notifications on his phone, which meant he missed any and all alerts or emails which may have come his way.

This ban means he won’t be able to get into coaching if he wanted to. “I don’t do anything else other than this (archery). I’m going to continue training, study a bit. And then I’m going to try to bounce back because this is my dream,” Jawkar, who’s completing a B.Sc in Zoology, said dejectedly.

“I hope that if someone is a medal prospect for the Olympics or Asiad, they learn from this mistake because it’s just like sheer negligence on my part. I should have taken an effort to educate myself on this,” the 22-year-old concluded.

Deadspin | Keller directs Pirates over Rays to clinch series win Apr 19, 2026; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin (6) tags Tampa Bay Rays left fielder Chandler Simpson (14) out at second base on a steal attempt during the first inning at PNC Park. Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Mitch Keller pitched seven strong innings, allowing two runs to help the host Pittsburgh Pirates score a 6-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday afternoon. Coming off a 13-inning loss on Saturday where Pittsburgh used six relievers, Keller (2-1) preserved some arms for the Pirates bullpen and helped his team take two of three games against the Rays, who entered the series having won six in a row. Bryan Reynolds backed up the pitching with two hits and three RBI to lead Pittsburgh’s bats, while Spencer Horwitz and Nick Yorke each hit solo home runs. Nick Gonzales had two hits and an RBI and Jake Mangum also had two hits. The Pirates did it with the long ball and small ball as they recorded three bunt singles in a game for the first time since 1998. After picking up his first win in three years in his previous start, Rays starter Shane McClanahan (1-2) was unable to follow up that success, nor spare Tampa Bay’s own taxed bullpen a day after it used seven relievers. He allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out five over 4 1/3 innings on 90 pitches. Keller picked up his second win in his fifth start of the season after not doing so last season until his 17th start. He struck out five and gave up five hits and did not issue a walk on 89 pitches. The Rays took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth on a two-run single by Hunter Feduccia off Keller, which was one of Tampa Bay’s six hits overall. Jonny DeLuca followed a Richie Palacios double and then stole second to set up Feduccia’s go-ahead hit. The Pirates answered immediately when Joey Bart doubled and Billy Cook followed with a bunt single and stole second. Two batters later, Gonzales singled to drive in Bart, and Reynolds followed with a two-run single to put Pittsburgh ahead 4-2. Right-hander Wilber Dotel was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis and made his major-league debut in the ninth. He allowed a solo home run to Junior Caminero, but then struck out Jonathan Aranda and retired Yandy Diaz on a ground out, and Cedric Mullins on a fly ball to center. The Pirates optioned reliever Cam Sanders to Triple-A Indianapolis. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Keller #directs #Pirates #Rays #clinch #series #win

Coming off a 13-inning loss on Saturday where Pittsburgh used six relievers, Keller (2-1) preserved some arms for the Pirates bullpen and helped his team take two of three games against the Rays, who entered the series having won six in a row.

Bryan Reynolds backed up the pitching with two hits and three RBI to lead Pittsburgh’s bats, while Spencer Horwitz and Nick Yorke each hit solo home runs.

Nick Gonzales had two hits and an RBI and Jake Mangum also had two hits. The Pirates did it with the long ball and small ball as they recorded three bunt singles in a game for the first time since 1998.

After picking up his first win in three years in his previous start, Rays starter Shane McClanahan (1-2) was unable to follow up that success, nor spare Tampa Bay’s own taxed bullpen a day after it used seven relievers. He allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out five over 4 1/3 innings on 90 pitches.

Keller picked up his second win in his fifth start of the season after not doing so last season until his 17th start. He struck out five and gave up five hits and did not issue a walk on 89 pitches.

The Rays took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth on a two-run single by Hunter Feduccia off Keller, which was one of Tampa Bay’s six hits overall. Jonny DeLuca followed a Richie Palacios double and then stole second to set up Feduccia’s go-ahead hit.

The Pirates answered immediately when Joey Bart doubled and Billy Cook followed with a bunt single and stole second. Two batters later, Gonzales singled to drive in Bart, and Reynolds followed with a two-run single to put Pittsburgh ahead 4-2.

Right-hander Wilber Dotel was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis and made his major-league debut in the ninth. He allowed a solo home run to Junior Caminero, but then struck out Jonathan Aranda and retired Yandy Diaz on a ground out, and Cedric Mullins on a fly ball to center. The Pirates optioned reliever Cam Sanders to Triple-A Indianapolis.
