AB de Villiers returns to top of ODI

rankings for batsmen Prannoy stuns Chong Wei, Saina,

Srikanth too reach quartersOdense, Oct 20

H S Prannoy recorded his

second successive win over

three-time Olympic silver

medallist Lee Chong Wei, while

Saina Nehwal and Kidambi

Srikanth also registered

contrasting wins to advance to

the quarterfinals of the Denmark

Open Super Series Premier

here.

Just four months back, Prannoy

had created a flutter when he

dispatched Chong Wei in

straight games in the Indonesia

Super Series Premier and the

unseeded Indian dished out

another superb performance

on Thursday to oust the former

World No. 1 Malaysian 21-17

11-21 21-19 in a match that

lasted an hour and three

minutes here.

"I am happy to beat him again

today. Even at this age, he is

one of the best players, who

can play in any conditions. I

am not thinking much ahead as

I have done this before but

couldn't win the title so I will just

look at the next match,"

Prannoy told reporters after the

match.

World No. 8 Srikanth, who

already has two super series

titles at Indonesia and Australia

to his name, defeated Korea's

Jeon Hyeok Jin 21-13 8-21 21-

18, while Saina, who won a

bronze at the Glasgow World

Championship, prevailed over

Thailand's Nitchaon Jindapol

22-20 21-13 in women's

singles pre-quarterfinals.

US Open champion Prannoy

will next face Korea's top seed

Son Wan Ho, Srikanth will meet

current world champion Viktor

Axelsen, while Saina will

square off against Japan s

Akane Yamaguchi.

Also through to the quarters

were England's Rajiv Ouseph,

Hong Kong's Wong Wing Ki

Vincent, Korea's Lee Hyun Il,

Chinese Taipei's Chou Tien

Chen.

In women's singles, top seed

and world no 1 Tai Tzu Ying,

Korean duo of Sung Ji Hyun

and Kim Hyo Min, Japan's

Sayaka Sato, China's Chen

Yufei and Thailand s

Ratchanok Intanon also

reached the last eight.

Prannoy trailed Chong Wei,

who turns 35 tomorrow, 1-2 in

career meetings before the

match. However, buoyed by

his recent win over the

celebrated Malaysian in June,

the Indian produced another

sensational performance,

befitting his new- found stardom

of a giant-killer.

The 25-year-old Indian started

off well and dictated terms as

he built up a 10-7 lead but the

former World No. 1 leveled par

with a lucky net chord before

entering the break with a

slender lead when the Indian's

return missed the sideline.

FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017

reaches quarter-final stageKolkata, Oct 20

The FIFA Under-17 World Cup

India 2017 has reached the

quarter-final stage, with the first

set of last-eight matches taking

place tomorrow.

The early kick-off in Guwahati

will see two West African rivals

meet, as Mali and Ghana will

determine who will be the last

team left from their continent in

the semi-finals.

While Ghana topped their group

with two wins, Mali stood

second in Group C with equal

number of victories.

Ghana are seeking to revive

their glory days in the

tournament, having last won it

way back in 1995.

The second FIFA Under 17

match sees USA take on

England in Goa.

(up two places to a career-best

fourth position), the South African

pair of Quinton de Kock (up

three places to fifth) and Hashim

Amla (up two places to ninth),

and Bangladesh's Mushfiqur

Rahim (up five places to 18th).

Among bowlers, Hasan Ali's

haul of 5 for 34 in the third ODI

against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi,

which his team won by seven

wickets for a decisive 3-0 lead

in the five-match series, has

given the pace bowler a big

boost in ranking points.

The 23-year-old, who has taken

nine wickets in the series so far,

has moved up six places to

become the fifth bowler at the top

of the ODI rankings this year after

Trent Boult, Imran Tahir, Kagiso

Rabada and Josh Hazlewood.

Dubai, UAE, Oct 20

Swashbuckling South Africa

batsman AB de Villiers has once

again grabbed the top position

in the ICC ODI Player Rankings

for batsmen.

An astonishing knock of 176 by

De Villiers in the second ODI

against Bangladesh in Paarl,

which consisted of 15 fours and

seven sixes and came off only

104 balls, has also helped South

Africa edge India at the top of

the ODI Team Rankings by

taking a 2-0 winning lead in the

three-match series.

The latest rankings, which take

into account the first two matches

of the South Africa-Bangladesh

series and the first three matches

of the ongoing Pakistan-Sri

Lanka series in the United Arab

Emirates, see De Villiers climb

to the top of the ODI table for the

14th time in his career.

The 33-year-old, who has

leapfrogged Australian David

Warner and India captain Virat

Kohli, had first attained top

position on May 30, 2010, and

the number of days he has spent

at the top is second most after

retired West Indies great Vivian

Richards. De Villiers has now

been at the top for 2,124 days

while Richards was number one

for 2,306 days.

Other batsmen to move up

include Pakistan's Babar Azam

India v New Zealand: India chase top spot

in ODIs, New Zealand a slice of historyNew Delhi, Oct 20

India have just been displaced

at the top of the ICC ODI

championship by South Africa,

but Virat Kohli's buoyant team

have a chance to reclaim the

top spot heading into a three-

game series with New Zealand

starting October 22 in Mumbai.

India are placed second on the

basis of decimal points, but

have the same number of points

(120) as South Africa, and can

move back to the top with a

series win over New Zealand.

In 2017, India have won 17 of

22 completed ODIs - a span

that includes a 3-0 sweep of

England, a 3-2 run in the ICC

Champions Trophy, where

they lost to Pakistan in the final,

a 3-1 win in the West Indies, a

5-0 whitewash in Sri Lanka

and most recently a 4-1 victory

over Australia at home. In the

same time, Kane Williamson's

New Zealand have won

seven of 13 completed ODIs -

beating Australia 2-0 at home,

losing 2-3 to South Africa at

home, winning a low-key

series featuring Ireland and

Bangladesh (to whom they lost

once) and then being knocked

out of the Champions Trophy

in the first round with another

defeat to Bangladesh.

Statistically, things are not

stacked in New Zealand's

favour when it comes to ODIs

in India. While in multi-team

tournaments their record on

Indian soil is 18-11, the bigger

picture is that New Zealand

have never won a bilateral ODI

series in India. The five series

contested between the two

teams - in 1988, 1995, 1999,

2010 and 2016 - were each

won by the home team. The

first of these was a 4-0 win for

Dilip Vengsarkar's team over

John Wright's tourists, following

India's 2-1 victory in the Tests.

India won by four wickets, five

wickets, 53 runs and two

wickets before the fifth match in

Jammu was abandoned due to

heavy rain.

In 1995, Mohammad

Azharuddin's Indian team won

3-2. New Zealand took the

series lead in Jamshedpur with

Mart in Crowe scoring an

unbeaten hundred, but India

won the second and fourth

matches - the third was

abandoned - to take the

advantage back. Lee

Germon's team made it 2-2 with

a 99-run win in Nagpur, setting

up the decider nicely. The sixth

ODI was a one-sided affair,

with New Zealand bowled out

for 126 in 35 overs and India

cantering home with six wickets

and 108 deliveries remaining.

Lionel Messi scored his 100th

goal in European competition

as Barcelona moved close to

qualifying for the Champions

League knockout stages by

outclassing Olympiakos 3-1 on

despite playing the second half

with 10 men. Gerard Pique was

sent off two minutes before

halftime for two bookings, one

for tugging an opponent's shirt

and the other for slapping the

ball into the net, but Barca were

barely threatened by a hapless

Olympiakos side who are badly

under-performing in their

Greek title defence.

The Athens club, who won

three league titles and two

domestic Cups under current

Barca coach Ernesto Valverde,

are fifth in the standings in the

Greek top flight and have lost

all their games in the

Champions League.
