Sports Newspapers: 5 things you need to know this Friday morning

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports Newspapers:

  1. India’s spinners crushed a woeful England side in the T20 World Cup semi-final as they secured a dominant 68-run victory at the Guyana National Stadium. India will meet fellow unbeaten side South Africa, who earlier thrashed Afghanistan, in the final in Barbados on Saturday
  2. England midfielder Phil Foden will return to Germany on Thursday amid the ongoing Euro 2024 after travelling to the United Kingdom for the birth of his third child. The 24-year-old left the England camp for what the Football Association said on Wednesday was a “pressing family matter”.
  3. Britain’s Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart were all beaten in the quarter-finals at Eastbourne. Raducanu was defeated 6-2 6-2 by Russian sixth seed Daria Kasatkina in blustery conditions, Boulter lost 6-1 7-6 (7-0) to Italian third seed Jasmine Paolini, while Dart went down 6-2 6-1 in 67 minutes to Canadian Leylah Fernandez.
  4. British swimmer Archie Goodburn has revealed he has been diagnosed with inoperable brain tumours. The 23-year-old, from Edinburgh, started suffering from numbness and seizures in the build-up to the Olympics trials – where he missed out on qualification by a narrow margin.
  5. Britain’s Emma Raducanu has missed out on a place in the Eastbourne International semi-finals, going down 6-2 6-2 to Daria Kasatkina on Thursday. Russian Kasatkina stormed ahead to claim a dominant first set, and though Raducanu recovered from an early break in the second to break straight back, she was no match for the rest of the encounter.
