Cricket, F1, Tennis & Derby Drama | Dubai News

India’s women’s cricket team stunned Sri Lanka with an 82-run victory, powered by a fiery 129-run stand between Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma — but controversy erupted when they refused to accept the trophy from the Asian Cricket Council president. Meanwhile, Formula One’s Kimi Antonelli seized his eighth win of the season at the historic Madrid Grand Prix, outsmarting Max Verstappen with a flawless virtual safety car pit stop, widening his championship lead to 81 points. On the tennis front, Elena Rybakina captured her first US Open title, dethroning defending champion Aryna Sabalenka and claiming the world No. 1 ranking, while Alexander Zverev also clinched his maiden US Open crown, completing a dominant Grand Slam year. But not all was glory: Lando Norris’s Madrid race imploded after a costly virtual safety car strategy, costing him a potential podium; Ben Shelton’s epic US Open run ended in defeat to Zverev, though his performance hints at future greatness. And in football, Manchester United suffered a bitter derby loss to Manchester City, with the decisive goal later ruled offside — leaving them rock-bottom in the league standings.
