AHMEDABAD, India (AP) — Dewald Brevis scored 57 runs off 23 balls as bottom side Chennai Super Kings wrapped up its Indian Premier League season in style by routing first-placed Gujarat Titans by 83 runs on Sunday.
Chennai won the toss and scored 230-5 in its 20 overs with Devon Conway hitting a 35-ball 52. In reply, Gujarat was dismissed for 147 in 18.3 overs.

Gujarat, Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians have already secured playoff spots.
Gujarat finished with 18 points from 14 games but its spot in the top two is under threat. Second-placed Punjab (17 points) and fourth-placed Mumbai (16 points) meet Monday in their last game, and Bengaluru (17 points) faces Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday.
Opener Ayush Mhatre gave Chennai a good start with a 17-ball 34. The big runs came from two overseas batters – Conway providing the base, with Brevis attacking toward the end.
Conway hit six fours and two sixes. Brevis got four fours and five sixes. Urvil Patel (37 off 19) and Ravindra Jadeja (21 not out off 18) also contributed as Chennai put up a strong total.

Gujarat's chase started badly — reduced to 30-3 in 4.3 overs — and its middle-order disappointed despite the chance to take an insurmountable points lead at the top. Sai Sudharsan top-scored with 41 off 28 balls.
Pacer Anshul Kamboj finished with 3-13, and wrist spinner Noor Ahmed 3-21. Ravindra Jadeja, who opened the bowling, took 2-17.
Chennai won four of its 14 IPL games.
Sunrisers Hyderabad played Kolkata Knight Riders later Sunday in Delhi. Both sides have already been eliminated.

Spain draws Sweden in semifinals of Women's Nations League. Germany gets France
NYON, Switzerland (AP) — World champion Spain will continue its defense of the UEFA Women's Nations League title against Sweden in the semifinals after the draw was made on Friday. Spain will host the first leg on Oct. 24 and the return is four days later in Sweden. Germany hosts France first in the other semifinal played on the same dates. France was beaten by Spain 2-0 in Seville in the inaugural final last year. The 2025 final is scheduled over two legs, on Nov. 28 and Dec. 2. All four teams advanced to the finals stage by finishing atop groups that started in February and finished this week — effectively as warmups for the Women's European Championship. Only France won six straight games. First, all four head to the 16-team Euro 2025 that starts on July 2 in Switzerland. Germany and Sweden are in the same Euros group. France is in a tough group with the past two European champions, England and the Netherlands. Spain, the 2023 Women's World Cup winner, starts its Euro 2025 campaign against Portugal on July 3 in Bern. ___ AP soccer:
