Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur believes her side’s below-par performance against South Africa has come at the right time, allowing the management sufficient time to address their shortcomings and “come back strong” for the T20 World Cup in June.

The ‘Women in Blue’ slumped to their first T20I series defeat since their group-stage exit at the T20 World Cup in October 2024, conceding a five-match rubber 0-3 to South Africa on Wednesday, with two matches still to be played.

Since that early exit at the ICC showpiece, Harmanpreet’s side had enjoyed a strong run, winning series against West Indies, England, Sri Lanka and Australia.

“After the last T20 WC, we have won the maximum T20 series, this is the only one we didn’t execute the way we were in the last series,” Harmanpreet said at the press conference after the team’s nine-wicket loss in the third WT20I on Wednesday.

“I think it’s good that whatever mistakes we are making are now and not in the World Cup. This is the right time where we can learn and come back strong.

“As a captain I take everything in a positive way. We still have two matches and we can still put up a decent show,” she added.

With the T20 World Cup in England and Wales less than two months away, India’s struggles, particularly with the ball, will be a concern.

While South Africa have claimed 21 Indian wickets in three matches, India have managed just seven scalps, with the visitors failing to make early inroads throughout the series.

In the third T20I, that inability proved costly as South Africa chased down India’s 192 for 4 with remarkable ease in just 16.3 overs, registering a nine-wicket win.

“The score was decent but unfortunately we were not able to get a breakthrough in the powerplay. No matter what match you are playing, taking wickets in powerplay always helps and we were not able to do that and it really cost us.

“On top of that we gave away too many runs. After that we didn’t get anything with the help of which we could make a comeback in the game.

“We were eyeing a breakthrough in the powerplay, it could have turned the game for us. We weren’t able to stick to our plans and execute well and they batted very well,” Harmanpreet said.

After modest totals of 157 for 7 and 147 all out in the first two games, India’s batting showed improvement in the third match, posting 192 for 4, courtesy half-centuries from Harmanpreet (66) and Shafali Verma (64).

“As a batting unit we were able to put up a decent total. but in the second innings there was dew and the ball was not gripping well and on top of that they were batting really well and while bowling nothing really worked for us,” Harmanpreet added.

Deadspin | With Francisco Lindor in question and long skid over, Mets take on Twins Apr 22, 2026; New York City, New York, USA; New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (12) reacts after his RBI infield single against the Minnesota Twins during the first inning at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images The New York Mets spent most of the last three weeks learning they didn’t like life without Juan Soto. Now the team hopes it won’t find out about life without Francisco Lindor. With their 12-game losing streak finally over, the Mets likely will learn Lindor’s status on Thursday before they host the Minnesota Twins in the finale of a three-game interleague series. Christian Scott is expected to make his season debut for the Mets against fellow right-hander Joe Ryan (2-2, 3.29 ERA). The Mets snapped their long skid Wednesday night after Mark Vientos delivered a tie-breaking bloop RBI single in the eighth inning of a 3-2 victory. But the win may have been costly for New York, which lost Lindor due to left calf tightness in the fourth inning. He did not appear to be running at full speed as he circled the bases and scored on Francisco Alvarez’s double. The 32-year-old Lindor grimaced while rounding third and remained on the ground for a few seconds after sliding in ahead of Victor Caratini’s tag to give the Mets a 2-1 lead. The Lindor injury was similar to the one sustained by Soto, who returned Wednesday after missing the last 15 games with a strained right calf. Soto suffered his injury while running from first to third on Bo Bichette’s single on April 3. Soto went 1-for-3 with a walk Wednesday but was picked off first base following his single in the eighth inning. Lindor is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday. He has missed just 15 games during the last four full seasons. “We lost Soto and we had a hard time,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday night. “Now we potentially (could) be dealing with losing another really good player. We’ve got to figure it out. We’ve got to find a way.” On the positive side, Luke Weaver (2-0) recorded the final four outs Wednesday as the Mets won for the first time since April 7 and ended their longest losing streak since 2002. “It’s a sigh of relief,” Weaver said. “There’s a lot more games to play. Today was a great step in the right direction, and it was gonna take a game like that to get us going.” The loss was the fifth in the last six games for the Twins, whose bullpen struggled to throw strikes after left-hander Connor Prielipp gave up two runs over four innings in his big-league debut. Kendry Rojas, who also made his big-league debut, relieved Prielipp and walked three in two scoreless innings. Eric Orze threw a perfect seventh inning before losing pitcher Taylor Rogers and Justin Topa issued two-out walks to Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez following Soto’s pickoff. Vientos followed with his go-ahead hit to score Baty. “We gave away free passes late,” Twins manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday night. “We can’t walk guys, and the walks ended up turning into runs that scored late in the game.” Scott was 0-2 with a 5.27 ERA in three starts at Triple-A Syracuse, where he collected 17 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings. The 26-year-old hasn’t pitched in the majors since July 21, 2024. He went on the injured list with a sprained UCL in his right elbow two days later and underwent Tommy John surgery in September 2024. Ryan took the loss Friday in his most recent start, when he allowed two runs (one earned) over six innings as the Twins fell 2-1 to the Cincinnati Reds. He didn’t factor into the decision in his lone previous appearance against the Mets on April 14, 2025, when he gave up one run over five innings in New York’s 5-1 victory. Scott has never opposed the Twins. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Francisco #Lindor #question #long #skid #Mets #TwinsApr 22, 2026; New York City, New York, USA; New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (12) reacts after his RBI infield single against the Minnesota Twins during the first inning at Citi Field.

Scott was 0-2 with a 5.27 ERA in three starts at Triple-A Syracuse, where he collected 17 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings. The 26-year-old hasn’t pitched in the majors since July 21, 2024. He went on the injured list with a sprained UCL in his right elbow two days later and underwent Tommy John surgery in September 2024.

Ryan took the loss Friday in his most recent start, when he allowed two runs (one earned) over six innings as the Twins fell 2-1 to the Cincinnati Reds. He didn’t factor into the decision in his lone previous appearance against the Mets on April 14, 2025, when he gave up one run over five innings in New York’s 5-1 victory.

Scott has never opposed the Twins.

#Deadspin #Francisco #Lindor #question #long #skid #Mets #Twins">Deadspin | With Francisco Lindor in question and long skid over, Mets take on Twins Apr 22, 2026; New York City, New York, USA; New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (12) reacts after his RBI infield single against the Minnesota Twins during the first inning at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images The New York Mets spent most of the last three weeks learning they didn’t like life without Juan Soto. Now the team hopes it won’t find out about life without Francisco Lindor. With their 12-game losing streak finally over, the Mets likely will learn Lindor’s status on Thursday before they host the Minnesota Twins in the finale of a three-game interleague series. Christian Scott is expected to make his season debut for the Mets against fellow right-hander Joe Ryan (2-2, 3.29 ERA). The Mets snapped their long skid Wednesday night after Mark Vientos delivered a tie-breaking bloop RBI single in the eighth inning of a 3-2 victory. But the win may have been costly for New York, which lost Lindor due to left calf tightness in the fourth inning. He did not appear to be running at full speed as he circled the bases and scored on Francisco Alvarez’s double. The 32-year-old Lindor grimaced while rounding third and remained on the ground for a few seconds after sliding in ahead of Victor Caratini’s tag to give the Mets a 2-1 lead. The Lindor injury was similar to the one sustained by Soto, who returned Wednesday after missing the last 15 games with a strained right calf. Soto suffered his injury while running from first to third on Bo Bichette’s single on April 3. Soto went 1-for-3 with a walk Wednesday but was picked off first base following his single in the eighth inning. Lindor is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday. He has missed just 15 games during the last four full seasons. “We lost Soto and we had a hard time,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday night. “Now we potentially (could) be dealing with losing another really good player. We’ve got to figure it out. We’ve got to find a way.” On the positive side, Luke Weaver (2-0) recorded the final four outs Wednesday as the Mets won for the first time since April 7 and ended their longest losing streak since 2002. “It’s a sigh of relief,” Weaver said. “There’s a lot more games to play. Today was a great step in the right direction, and it was gonna take a game like that to get us going.” The loss was the fifth in the last six games for the Twins, whose bullpen struggled to throw strikes after left-hander Connor Prielipp gave up two runs over four innings in his big-league debut. Kendry Rojas, who also made his big-league debut, relieved Prielipp and walked three in two scoreless innings. Eric Orze threw a perfect seventh inning before losing pitcher Taylor Rogers and Justin Topa issued two-out walks to Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez following Soto’s pickoff. Vientos followed with his go-ahead hit to score Baty. “We gave away free passes late,” Twins manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday night. “We can’t walk guys, and the walks ended up turning into runs that scored late in the game.” Scott was 0-2 with a 5.27 ERA in three starts at Triple-A Syracuse, where he collected 17 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings. The 26-year-old hasn’t pitched in the majors since July 21, 2024. He went on the injured list with a sprained UCL in his right elbow two days later and underwent Tommy John surgery in September 2024.

With the 2026 NFL Draft approaching fast, all 32 teams are working furiously to finalize their draft boards and gameplan for each of their selections.

Some teams have more work to do than others. Check out our final mock draft and top-100 player rankings.

Thanks to trades, compensatory picks, and more, not every team has the same number of selections in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the most picks (12) in the upcoming draft — more on them in a moment — while the Seattle Seahawks have the fewest number of picks, with just four.

However, they also have a shiny new Lombardi Trophy as well.

Here is a look at the teams with the most picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, as well as a list of the number of picks for all 32 teams.

What teams have the most picks in the 2026 NFL Draft?

Here are the six teams with the most picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Las Vegas Raiders: 10 picks

The 2026 NFL Draft will begin with the Las Vegas Raiders on the clock, where they are expected to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

But that is just the first of ten picks the Raiders will have over three days in Pittsburgh.

Here is the full list of the Raiders’ picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

  • Round 1, Selection 1
  • Round 2, Selection 36
  • Round 3, Selection 67
  • Round 4, Selection 102
  • Round 4, Selection 117 (from Minnesota via Jacksonville as part of the Jakobi Meyers trade)
  • Round 4, Selection 134 (compensatory selection)
  • Round 5, Selection 175 (compensatory selection)
  • Round 6, Selection 185
  • Round 6, Selection 208 (from Buffalo via New York Jets as part of the Geno Smith trade)

New England Patriots: 11 picks

The New England Patriots may have lost Super Bowl LX, but they have 11 selections in the 2026 to help improve their roster.

  • Round 1, Selection 30 (from Denver as part of the Jaylen Waddle trade)
  • Round 2, Selection 43

The Jacksonville Jaguars do not have a pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, thanks to the draft-day trade they pulled a year ago to come up for Travis Hunter Jr.

But they still have 11 picks over the three days to work with.

  • Round 7, Selection 240

Perhaps the host team wants to give their fans more to cheer about.

Because the Pittsburgh Steelers lead the way with 12 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.

  • Round 1, Selection 21
  • Round 2, Selection 53
  • Round 3, Selection 76 (from Dallas as part of George Pickens trade)
