WATCH: Cristiano Ronaldo opens account at Juventus, then adds another

Cristiano Ronaldo on Sunday scored his first goal for Juventus in their fourth Serie A match against Sassuolo. The former Real Madrid player not just opened his account for the Italian club, he even doubled his side’s lead with another goal in the second half.

Ronaldo, who was under the radar for not not being able to score in Italy, sent the ball into the net with a tap-in at the start of the second half after a rebound that gave the Portugal captain an empty net and an opportunity to score his first for Juventus.

FIRST GOAL:

Asia Cup 2018: We have to be at our best in all departments to beat India, says Sarfraz Ahmed

Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed on Sunday said his team will have to produce its absolute best in all three departments to outwit India in the six-nation Asia Cup ODI tournament.

Pakistan defeated Hong Kong by eighth wickets to make a positive start to their campaign but Sarfraz pointed out a few things which his team need to work on before they clash with India on September 19.

“As a captain, I saw couple of things which we should work on. We should have finished this match with 9 or 10 wickets and we need to ball better with the new ball. Ball didn’t swing for us with the new ball, that is alarming for us,” Sarfraz said after the match.

“We will work on it in our next practice session. To win against India we have to be at our best in all the three departments,” he added.

Usman Khan was adjudged the Man-of-the-Match for his three wickets in an over that helped Pakistan bowl out Hong Kong for a paltry 116.

Pakistan then scored 120 for 2 in 23.4 overs to win the match.

“When I came to bowl in the first spell, I tried to pick wickets with the new ball, but luck was not with me. Second spell, I got the ball to reverse swing and I managed to take wickets,” Usman said.

“It’s alright. I was bleeding from my feet but all is fine right now and I am fit. I just slipped a little bit so I thought it would be safe to get it checked.

“I’m happy with the bowling and I managed to bowl like I wanted to. It’s fun to bowl with competition, some healthy competition amongst the bowlers, and we play our cricket from session to session and give our best at all times.”

Hong Kong skipper Anshuman Rath blamed his batsmen for not being able to put enough runs on the board.

“Lots of soft dismissals. 120 (116) was not enough. It was a good wicket. Credit goes to the Pakistan bowlers,” he said.

“Our offspinners are top class, but we just didn’t have enough runs on the board. I think early on, it swung a bit, there was a bit of bounce.

“We got through the start, but we couldn’t convert it. One fifty-run partnership is not enough to post a good total.”

Talking about the bowling department of Bangladesh before today (September 9th) Asia Cup, Walsh spoke about the bowling department of Bangladesh. The charm of the coach is around Mashrafe.
He said, 'Come here for the first time I told him that he is good enough to play Test. Maybe due to the injury all versions and could not play. For the long time Bangladesh and high quality bowlers.

Now the youth need to have that hunger in him. We can only work from a distance. But youngsters will have to play well in the field.

Mashrafe sees his performance as a self-respect. His difference with others is here. She wants to do well, wants to fight.

Walsh believed that the youngsters did not get adequate opportunity. Also, if a cricketer is bad, he does not want to quickly be dropped from the team.
He further said, 'I do not say there is no hunger. I think they were not given the chance to play consistently. The difference is probably here. We have a number of young bowlers who deserve enough chance. Can not be omitted by playing one or two matches.

'Mustafiz's special talent, his skill special' This is a bad one. Mustafizur Rahman is now hoping for such hopelessness. Wonders awakened the cricket world. After that, he has repeatedly stabbed him.

 The bowling coach of Bangladesh is hoping something good for the left-arm pacer in the upcoming Asia Cup. This is good this bad. Mustafizur Rahman is now hoping for such hopelessness. Wonders awakened the cricket world. After that, he has repeatedly stabbed him. But Fitz Mitzafiz's team has also reminded me of what a great asset, Courtney Walsh reminded again. The bowling coach of Bangladesh is hoping something good for the left-arm pacer in the upcoming Asia Cup.
 
Mustafiz, who had a shoulder surgery after the surgery in 2016, has not been seen before. Even after taking wickets, it has contributed a lot to the team's win. But still can not go back to the previous look. There have been repeated obstructions. Mustafiz, however, is going to fight. The last West Indies tour went back to the injury. The tour took five wickets in three ODIs, eight in three T20s. Mustafiz is in the state before the Asia Cup? On Saturday, Walsh expressed hope that she met the media at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Mirpur on Saturday. "She is moving well. Of course the place should be there, still can not go there.

I think this tour can be very good for Mustafiz. He did well in the West Indies. If the injuries are far away, it will be only better. Because he is a special talent, his skill is special. "" Fit Mustafiz is available to mean a lot of bowling attack. He knows what he needs to do. "Mustafiz's bowling was reduced to a lesser extent, due to injury tendency he was well-negotiated. However, if Mustafiz can keep himself fit, then he is not seeing any problem.

"There is nothing to worry about handling workloads. He's bowling well. I would like to do a bit more work to increase the skill with him. Due to the injuries did not get the opportunity to do that work perfectly. Hopefully we can do some work in the Asia Cup. Speaking of workload, he is the one who knows what to do. Only he is fit. "

"I need to say workload, keep the match fitness at the start of the Asia Cup. Because he had suffered a slight flu. If he is comfortable with the workload, then I am also happy. The first two days will be challenging after going to Dubai, it can be understood how relaxed it is. "The Bangladesh team will go to Dubai on Sunday to play the Asia Cup.
