INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Kelsey Mitchell scored 20 of her 28 points in the first half, and Caitlin Clark added 22 points and 10 assists to lead the Indiana Fever to a 106-92 victory over the New York Liberty on Tuesday night.Indiana has won seven of its last nine, and this one came after coach Stephanie Whites 2 1/2-minute pregame outburst, defending herself while also calling out the sideshows she thinks have overshadowed the WNBA.This time, it seemed to fuel the Fever, who shot 59% from the field and 79% from 3-point range as they took a 64-46 halftime lead against New York, which had gone 8-1 since losing by 20 to Indiana in mid-July. And this time, unlike last week against defending WNBA champion Las Vegas, they didnt allow a double-digit lead to slip away.Mitchell was 11 of 16 from the field and she, like Clark and Sophie Cunningham, each made four 3s on a night Indiana finished with 16 on 25 attempts. Cunningham had 12 points, and Aliyah Boston added 19 points and seven rebounds.Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu each had 19 points for the Liberty. Jonquel Jones finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds.ACES 86, MYSTICS 76LAS VEGAS (AP) Aja Wilson had 26 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks for her 17th double-double this season, Jackie Young added 25 points and eight assists, and Las Vegas ended Washington seven-game winning streak with a victory.Chelsea Gray scored 12 points, and NaLyssa Smith had 11 points and 11 rebounds for Las Vegas (23-11). Young became the seventh-fastest player in WNBA history to reach at least 4,000 points and 1,000 assists, doing so in 275 career games.Shakira Austin scored 20 points and Sonia Citron added 19 for Washington (19-13), which had not lost since July 18 against Golden State. Kiki Iriafen had 15 points and 13 rebounds. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton scored six points in her debut for Washington.The Aces finished with 40-plus points in the paint for the ninth straight game.

Sam Antonacci was locked in an epic at-bat, looking to spark a 10th-inning rally for the Chicago White Sox against the Cincinnati Reds.The Sox were down a run, and had the automatic runner on second to begin the inning when Antonacci worked a full count. He then fouled off three straight fastballs, a cutter and then two more fastballs.On the 14th pitch of the at-bat, reliever Emilio Pagn got a fastball past Antonacci to strike him out swinging for the first out of the inning.Pagn won the battle. And the Reds eventually won the game, topping the Sox 5-4 in 10 innings on Tuesday in front of a sellout crowd of 38,113 at Rate Field.The Sox hit three home runs on the way to building a four-run lead. But the Reds spoiled an outstanding outing from starter Sean Burke to hand the Sox a tough loss.Id trade that performance for a win, obviously, said Burke, who allowed one run on three hits with eight strikeouts and no walks over seven innings.Burke continued, But Ill kind of look back over some stuff, that mistake to (Eugenio) Surez (resulting in a solo home run in the fifth) will eat at me a little bit. I shook off (catcher Edgar Quero) there and went with the fastball and a pretty good swing on it.That ones going to eat at me a little bit. Just thinking back to some of the stuff, especially in a close game like that, that you could have done a little bit better.With the loss, the first-place Sox (61-57) saw their lead in the American League Central shrink to 2 1/2 games over the second-place Detroit Tigers (59-60).The Sox were in control most of Tuesday, with solo home runs by Brenton Doyle in the first inning, Quero in the second and Miguel Vargas in the fourth helping the team take a 3-0 lead. Each time the player returned to the dugout after their home run, they put on a pope hat that was the highly-anticipated promotion of the night.Antonacci drove in Randal Grichuk later in the fourth inning with a double to stretch the lead to 4-0.Burke, meanwhile, didnt allow a hit until the home run by Surez leading off the fifth. He allowed a single in the sixth and a double in the seventh, but that was it.He was awesome, manager Will Venable said. That was again, feel like he one-ups himself every time he goes out there, covers seven innings like that. Really, Eugenio Surez was the only guy he couldnt put away there.Really good feel for the slider, felt like we got a ton of swing and miss on a good fastball again. So really outstanding by Burke.But the Reds got to the Sox bullpen in the eighth inning. Matt McLain reached on an infield single against reliever Bryan Hudson. Michael Toglia followed with a bloop hit. Elly De La Cruz collected an RBI with a single to right, cutting the Sox lead to 4-2.The runners moved up to second and third on a fly ball by Sal Stewart. They scored on a single to right by Tyler Stephenson against reliever Grant Taylor, tying the score at 4.Photos: Pope hat giveaway at the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 11, 2026Thats baseball, Venable said. Infield single there, then a bloop, and then De La Cruz gets one on the back side there and just werent able to stop the bleeding after that.Just part of the game.Munetaka Murakami doubled with one out in the bottom of the eighth for the Sox, but was stranded at second base. With two outs in the ninth, Quero hit a long fly to left field that was caught on the warning track by JJ Bleday to send the game to extra innings.I thought it had a little chance, Quero said. But when I saw the exit velo was not that good (97.5 mph). The park is really big over there. Maybe the next time.The Reds executed well in the 10th, with the automatic runner McLain advancing to third on a fly out to right field and scoring on a sacrifice fly to center by De La Cruz.The Sox were retired in order in the bottom of the 10th, with Antonaccis strikeout followed by two pop outs.Five Cincinnati relievers combined to retire 18 of the 19 batters they faced.Really good upfront, Venable said of the offense. (Reds starter Nick) Lodolo is tough. Obviously we were able to put some really good swings on him and then just couldnt get anything cooking after that.

Bangladesh is trying to save India's six-match cricket tour next month, with the foreign ministers of both countries involved in efforts to resolve the issue, news agency AFP reported.The tour consists of three ODIs and three T20Is. It was originally scheduled for August last year but was postponed after relations between Dhaka and New Delhi deteriorated.Bangladesh sports minister Aminul Haque said on Monday that discussions were continuing at the ministerial level."It is being worked on at the ministerial level," Haque said late Monday, as quoted by AFP, adding that talks were ongoing between the foreign ministers of both countries.Relations between Bangladesh and India have been strained since a mass uprising in Bangladesh in 2024 led to the removal of then-prime minister Sheikh Hasina. She fled to India, where she remains in hiding.In February, Bangladesh did not send a team to India for the T20 World Cup, citing security concerns. The International Cricket Council rejected Bangladesh's request to move its matches to Sri Lanka, and Scotland replaced them in the tournament.Haque said Bangladesh was keen to resolve the issue surrounding the postponed series."We want to quickly resolve the deadlock that was created around the Cricket World Cup," Haque said."God willing, we are hopeful that it will be resolved very soon."India last toured Bangladesh for a cricket series in 2022, when they won the two-Test series 2-0. Bangladesh won the three-match ODI series 2-1.Bangladesh last toured India in September-October 2024 for two Tests and two T20Is. India won both series, completing a sweep across the two formats.

AUS vs BAN 1st Test playing XI: Australia lineup as Travis Head to open after Ashes heroics originally appeared on Cricket News. Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Travis Head is set to open for Australia against Bangladesh after his Ashes heroics.Pat Cummins returns to lead a full-strength Australia attack in Darwin.Jake Weatherald is in line for a Test debut alongside Head at the top.AUS vs BAN 1st Test playing XI: Australia name settled side for Darwin openerAustralia begin their two-match Test series against Bangladesh on August 13 at the Marrara Stadium in Darwin, with valuable World Test Championship 2025-27 points on offer as the hosts return to red-ball action for the first time since the Ashes. Captain Pat Cummins is back to lead a settled, senior-looking outfit.The home side head into the series as overwhelming favourites, having won five of their six previous Tests against Bangladesh and sitting on top of the World Test Championship standings.Bangladesh, who have not played a Test in Australia for 23 years, endured a chastening warm-up, bowled out for just 54 by a Cricket Australia XI.Australia have gone in with a full-strength squad after staying away for more than six months from Test cricket. The trio of Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon all return after featuring only sparingly in the Ashes, further strengthening an already formidable line-up.The most notable selection call surrounds the top of the order, where Travis Head is set to continue his new role as opener following his blistering Ashes campaign.MORE:Brett Lee breaks silence on past dating rumours with Preity ZintaWhy Travis Head is set to open for Australia vs BangladeshHead's move up the order has been one of the standout stories of Australia's recent Test cricket. Having been shifted to open during the Ashes, the left-hander's aggressive strokeplay proved a major weapon, and the selectors are keen to persist with the experiment.He is expected to partner debutant Jake Weatherald, with the pair tasked with forging a long-term opening combination. Head has admitted he is "not a true opener", but Australia clearly sees the value in unleashing his attacking instincts against the new ball, particularly against a Bangladesh attack likely to struggle for consistency.The reshuffle pushes the experienced Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith into the middle order, with Smith chasing a century against one of the few WTC opponents missing from his list. Cameron Green and Beau Webster provide the all-round balance, while Alex Carey keeps wicket.MORE:Waugh's classy gesture after infamous 'Bangladesh don't deserve Test cricket' remark recalledAustralia's XI vs Bangladesh for 1st Test at DarwinTravis HeadJake WeatheraldMarnus LabuschagneSteve SmithCameron GreenBeau WebsterAlex Carey (WK)Pat Cummins (C)Mitchell StarcNathan LyonJosh HazlewoodMORE:Travis Head wins Allan Border medal 2026: All the winners from Australian cricket awards listedWhy Australia's batting depth makes them near-unbeatable in DarwinOn paper, this is a mismatch, and the selection of Head as an aggressive opener only underlines Australia's confidence. A batting order boasting Smith, Labuschagne, Green and Webster below a destructive top three offers depth few teams in world cricket can rival, and against a Bangladesh side low on confidence, the runs should flow freely.The bigger picture is Australia's WTC ambitions, with every session carrying points in the race towards the 2027 final.Cummins will want his side to be ruthless rather than complacent, wrapping up quick, emphatic wins to bolster their percentage. Barring a dramatic upset, the only real question in Darwin is the margin of Australia's superiority rather than the result itself.For all the latest cricket news, opinion and commentary and to share your voice head to ourFacebook,InstagramandX (Twitter)pages.
