INDIA’S cricket board yesterday announced a cash reward of US$5.75 million (RM24m) for the women’s team after their trium phant World Cup campaign. Hosts India beat South Africa by 52 runs in front of a sell-out home crowd at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on Sunday to lift their first one-day international (ODI) World Cup. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia told AFP that the money was awarded “as a token of appreciation for the women’s team”, and would be spread across the players, sup port staff and selectors involved. The Indian women have already received US$4.48 million (RM19m) in prize money from the International Cricket Council (ICC) – a 239% increase from the US$1.32 million awarded to Australia in 2022. Djokovic confirmed for ATP Finals SEVEN-TIME champion Novak Djokovic, who has been out of action for three weeks, will com pete in next week’s ATP Finals in Turin, the president of the Italian Tennis Federation con firmed yesterday. After his defeat in the semifinals of the Shanghai Masters 1000 against Valentin Vacherot on Oct 11, the 38-year-old skipped the Paris Masters, which ended on Sunday. He is set to return to competition this week in Athens with a second round match against Alejandro Tabilo. “We have confirmation that Djokovic will be in Turin,” the federation chief said on Rai Gr Parlamento radio, scotching suggestions that the Serb would withdraw from the event as he did last year.

Australian Open champion Keys made 12 double faults, four times more than her opponent as Anisimova bounced back from a first-set stumble to get her first win in the WTA Finals. Anisimova was the first to hold her serve after the match started with

World No. 2 Swiatek made 36 unforced errors in the last two sets while Rybakina made 17, with the Kazakh player getting her first win over the six-time Grand Slam cham pion in their last five meetings. Rybakina, who beat Anisimova on Saturday, reached the semifinals after her second straight win. “It was difficult to be down, but in the sec ond set I pushed myself, the serve improved. Really happy that I stepped in and played bet ter in each point,” said Rybakina. Swiatek made a dominant start to win the first three games as she targeted Rybakina’s body with her serves, while the sixth seed’s backhand returns often hit the net. Swiatek looked in control as she took the first set 6-3. However, the Pole’s double fault and an unforced error gave an early break to Rybakina, who then held her serve with an ace to go 3-0 up in the second set. Wimbledon champion Swiatek was left frustrated when she made three successive

four straight breaks, but the 24-year old

conceded another break as Keys took a 5-4 lead. World No. 7 Keys won the first set with forceful serves and built a 2-0 lead in the sec ond, but her struggles with double faults and unforced errors allowed Anisimova to get a break back and make it 3-3. Fourth seed Anisimova broke again, fool ing Keys with her well-timed forehand, and won five straight games to take the second set. Keys looked exhausted as Anisimova, growing in confidence and finding success with cross-court shots, took just 34 minutes to win the third set.

OSCAR PIASTRI is battling against a “double mental struggle” as he looks to stem constant attacks from both Lando Norris and Max Verstappen, according to former FIA steward and Benetton F1 star, Johnny Herbert. Piastri left the Dutch Grand Prix at the end of August with a 34-point advantage over team mate Norris and over 100 points in his pocket compared to third-placed Verstappen. However, since then, the tables have flipped, and the Australian racer is now trailing his teammate by one point heading into the final four rounds of the year. Verstappen, meanwhile, is also in play, clos ing to within 36 points of new World Championship leader Norris. What has facilitated this turnaround is the rapid deterioration of Piastri’s race pace. Since Zandvoort, his results have been third, DNF,

fourth, fifth, and fifth again, and he has failed to outscore either of his rivals during this period. According to Herbert, the unique situation of fighting two different drivers might be play ing into his slump. “Piastri is frustrated, which is understand able,” he said yesterday. “Has he got the car to be able to deliver those race wins again? Absolutely. “Is his confidence a bit low? It’s just the little pieces are not quite where they need to be. You’ve just got to slot those pieces into the right areas. Confidence is something I don’t think is going to come into play for him. “What he’s obviously going to have to deal with is how it’s been going on the other side of the garage, seeing how quick and at one Lando seems to be. That’s that powerful mental game that starts to come into play.”

myself out there … It’s all coming together.” Labuschagne’s stunning run makes him an almost certain starter in the first Test against England at Perth on Nov 21, but at what posi tion he bats remains to be seen. All his recent runs have come at No. 3, but with Australia struggling to lock in a partner for Usman Khawaja at the top he is also a candi date to open. Australia are expected to name their Ashes squad this week. – AFP Herbert continued:“The worry wasn’t Lando going into Mexico. It was Max. So again, it’s twisted again. He is having a double mental struggle because it’s Max and it’s Lando. “Max has closed the gap on Oscar. Hopefully, he uses some of what Lando’s learnt from the little changes that have come into play. “So, it’s only going to be a mental game. I don’t see him suddenly collapsing mentally because it doesn’t work like that. “It’s very easy for a top sportsman, and it can happen very quickly, where a switch is flicked, and everything comes alive again.” Fortunately for Piastri, there is still time to turn the ship around. Four rounds are remain ing in the 2025 season, including two sprint weekends, meaning there are plenty of points on offer. – Express Newspapers

Labuschagne in form of life ahead of Ashes AUSTRALIA’S Marnus Labuschagne slammed a fifth century in eight innings, firing an omi nous warning shot ahead of the Ashes with some of the richest form of his life. It was the 31-year-old’s third hundred this season in the 50-over format, to go with two in the red-ball Sheffield Shield.

Bertarikh pada 15 Oktober 2025

“The only one I can think of is probably 2019 at Glamorgan as a period of time,” Labuschagne told reporters when asked if this period was his best ever run of form. “But probably not across both formats. With both formats I feel like my batting is in a really nice place, just trusting my skills and trusting

The Queensland captain was dropped ahead of Australia’s mid-year Test tour of the West Indies after an extended lean spell. But he has come roaring back, hitting 101 from 111 balls against New South Wales in a one-day game at Sydney on Monday.
