Season of IPL
The league has reached the business end and our cricket desk is filing a captain’s pick, a powerplay breakdown and a points-table recalculation every matchday. Tonight RCB need 27 off 28; tomorrow MI host CSK with a net run rate they can actually move.
If you want the daily-fixture view, swing by the Live desk. If you want the tournament explainer (format, qualification paths, tie-breakers), the Competition hub has the canonical guide.
Title-deciding fixtures
Every league ends with someone ahead. The matches below shifted the table, the race and the conversation.
Football
Title race reset with three matchdays to go—how the run-in shortened from a six-club chase to a two-horse sprint.
Kabaddi
Six playoff wins in seven appearances and a defensive record that defies the league average. Here’s the pattern our desk spotted.
Tennis
Three-set final, 4 break points saved in the tie-break, and a clay swing that finally finds a settled number one.
Clubs we cover
Each team page carries a verified squad list, a five-match form guide and the desk’s most recent reporting—no auto-generated walls.
Player profiles
Numbers on their own can flatter or doom. The player desk pairs those stats with availability, role and the analyst view.
590 runs in 12 innings, strike rate 152, anchor role confirmed by the new coach. Availability: confirmed for tonight.
Read profile →10 goals in 14 MLS appearances, 6 assists. Reported hamstring tightness being managed, will start Saturday.
Read profile →World Tour semifinal seeding secured. Lower-limb management confirmed by team physio; will compete in Jakarta next week.
Read profile →Tactical write-ups
Our analyst desk states a thesis up front, names the data behind the conclusion, and links the methodology. If the numbers change, we update.
Analysis
Across the last three IPL seasons, only four teams have won a title with a powerplay economy above 8.4. Here’s why that line matters.
Analysis
Which ISL sides actually beat the first line of pressure? We charted every match since January and grouped them by build-up profile.
Explainer
Why "last five" can mislead. We explain the weighting our form guide uses, what we exclude, and how we handle postponed games.
Every score, every standing and every transfer story you read here is sourced. We name the licensed feed, the data cutoff time, and the journalist who filed the copy. When a correction is needed, it lives in our public ledger—not buried in a footnote. Read the full methodology.
Frequently asked
A short, honest set of answers to the questions our editors receive by email each week.
Each score pushes from the licensed feed roughly every two minutes during play. Where a feed’s reporting lags, we mark the timestamp so you’re never given yesterday’s score as today’s. During DRS reviews and technical stoppages our editorial team will hold an update until play resumes.
Match data comes from licensed sports-data providers and verified feeds. We disclose the data provider on each live centre and re-state the cutoff time in our match reports. We don’t recalculate stats by hand—if the feed says 168/4, we say 168/4.
Our editorial remit is reporting on the match itself, not adjacent products. We don’t publish odds, we don’t host paid predictions, and we don’t monetise betting or fantasy affiliation. Our income is sponsorship, display ads and the newsletter—clear about each one.
Open the corrections page or reply directly to the bylined reporter. Every substantive challenge is logged, reviewed by the desk editor and—if a correction is needed—added to the public corrections ledger at /corrections. We don’t edit silently.
Yes. Every story we publish is filed by a named journalist on the desk, with a working email and a verified phone number for queries. Pseudonyms are not permitted. If you receive a story with no byline, it is an automated data update; treat it as such.
Headlines and the lede paragraph may be quoted with attribution and a working link. Anything longer—including match reports and analysis—requires written permission from the editor. Our contact page lists the editor by rotation and response time.
Postponed fixtures are removed from the live schedule with an explanatory banner, not silently stretched to a future date. Abandoned matches keep their score and an editorial note explaining the rule under which play was halted and what happens next.
