🗞 Sloppy Mistakes

G'day sports fans,

Rugby World Cup: Fiji v Portugal (k.o. 6am) - Fiji either need a win (four points), a draw (two points), a loss by fewer than eight points (one point) or to score four tries or more (one point) to stop the Wallabies going through.

🏏 Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have steered India towards a six-wicket victory over Australia in its World Cup opener, rescuing the host nation after a disastrous start to their run chase in Chennai.

Steve Smith (46) and David Warner (41) top-scored in Australia's total of 199 after they won the toss and batted.

Chasing a 200-run target for victory on Sunday, India lost three wickets in the opening two overs to put Australia in a commanding position at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.

However, Kohli (85 off 116 balls) and player of the match Rahul (97 not out from 115 balls) combined for a 165-run partnership for the fourth wicket to propel India towards the target, while the Australians were left to rue a costly dropped catch. Mitchell Marsh put down a straightforward chance at mid-wicket in the eighth over of India’s run chase, gifting Kohli an additional life on 12. (Cricket.com.au)

🏏 South Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk, 21, has brought up the fastest-ever white-ball century worldwide, smashing 100 runs off just 29 balls in the Marsh One-Day Cup against Tasmania.

For van Gisbergen, it's his third Bathurst 1000 win and the first for Stanaway in what's the first Great Race of the Gen3 era.

🤒 Melbourne defender Steven May spent the night in hospital after suffering an allergic reaction to food during a night out with his partner.

May’s partner, Sachi Dade, posted an Instagram story of May in a hospital bed, writing: “Why does he have to try and die before we go on our holiday?! What I am happy about though is that I can say I saved his life forever now. This will definitely have its advantages.”

The 31-year-old was discharged from hospital on Sunday, with the club at that stage unaware of what food consumed by May caused the reaction.

🏀 The NBL is investigating an alleged physical altercation between Aron Baynes and Cairns Taipans head coach Adam Forde, sources told ESPN.

Late in the second quarter, Baynes was elbowed in the throat by Taipans wing Lat Mayen while contesting a rebound. The Bullets big-man had to be held back by his teammates as he appealed to the officials about the no-call.
