Sport in brief with Jamie J: April 24, 2024

MEN’S CRICKET: Pakistan face New Zealand at Lahore’s Colonel Gadaffi stadium tomorrow for the fourth leg of their five-match Twenty20 series.

The Kiwis eased to a seven-wicket win in game three thanks to Mark Chapman’s unbeaten 87 from 42 balls and tied the scores at 1-1 after the first game was abandoned.

New Zealand are fourth in the short-format world rankings, one place above Pakistan.

MEN’S RUGBY UNION: Reigning champions Llandovery need a win from their final home game with Bridgend tomorrow evening to pip Newport for top spot in the Welsh Premiership.

A bonus point win will ensure that they finish one point clear. The league winners will face a home game against Cardiff in the play-off semi-finals while the runners-up will take on third-placed Ebbw Vale.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Luka Doncic scored 32 points as Dallas Mavericks beat the LA Clippers 96-92 to level their NBA play-off at 1-1, Phoenix lost 105-93 at Minnesota to go 2-0 down and Indiana thumped Milwaukee 125-108 to make it 1-1.

Boston, who finished the regular season as the most successful team, take a 1-0 lead into tomorrow morning’s game with Miami and New Orleans are in Oklahoma City.

MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: Super League action resumes tomorrow evening with in-form Huddersfield, who are on a five-match winning run that included a superb 34-6 victory at table-topping Catalans, visiting second-placed St Helens.

The Catalans are not in action until tomorrow night when they travel to take on a struggling Leigh side that has only won once all season.

Hull KR host Wigan and Castleford face bottom club London in tomorrow’s other games.
