BCCI Hopes for Formal Postponement of T20 World Cup

On hold for the past two months, the fate of this year's T20 World Cup will be up for a decisive round of deliberation when the ICC board meets virtually with the BCCI hoping for a postponement to ensure that the IPL can go ahead.
The global event is supposed to be held from October 18 to November 15 in Australia but the country's cricket board had, in May itself, expressed its inability to host amid a second surge of COVID-19 cases in the state of Victoria.
With India's case load also exceeding the 10 lakh mark, including more than 26,000 deaths, the IPL, if it is held, is likely to move to the UAE once the central government gives its go ahead.

La Liga: Real Madrid on Brink of Title after Win at Granada

Real Madrid defeated Granada 2-1 to move within two points of winning the Spanish league. Ferland Mendy and Karim Benzema scored first-half goals to give Madrid its ninth straight win and keep Zinedine Zidane's team four points ahead of second-placed Barcelona with two rounds to go. The Catalan club won at Valladolid. Madrid, which has won every match since the league resumed after the pandemic break, can clinch its first title since 2017 with a win at Villarreal, or if Barcelona loses points when it hosts Osasuna. Two draws in the final two rounds will also be enough to secure Madrid a record 34th league trophy.
